After a simple instruction, Yi Yan disappeared on the battlefield regardless of whether Wulang agreed or not.
"I know... I know!" Looking at the embers that disappeared instantly, Wu Lang slowly uttered three words from his mouth for a long time.
……
Flying from the battlefield towards the Kujo Formation House, the most eye-catching change along the way was the many more camps and military flags on the ground.
The military flags were fluttering and the camp was solemn.
The atmosphere of Kannazuka makes people become cautious when they see it.
But not only did Yan Yan not feel nervous, on the contrary, he even wanted to laugh.
This was not because he looked down upon the shogunate, but because the purple light rising from the tartar sand to the sky was much weaker than before.
Seeing that the heart of the furnace that was about to explode was vented, Ember finally felt better.
It seems it’s not all bad news this time!
The purple light still spreads, but now there's no embers to worry about. After crossing the Tatasha, he came to the Kujo Formation House.
As the frontline base camp of the shogunate army, even when the entire front is mobilized, a considerable number of sergeants are still stationed in the camp.
There is nothing strange about this, it is normal to leave some room for it. Otherwise, the enemy could penetrate the base camp with a single carbine, which would be ridiculous.
What really caught Ember's attention was the unreasonable distribution of troops.
Logically speaking, the sergeants left behind should be used for security patrols. But most of the troops in the Kujo Formation House were gathered around a large tent, which looked very strange.
"This……"
"There shouldn't be any big killer weapon here, right?" Yi Yan rolled his eyes and speculated in his heart.
In a military camp where heavy troops are to be guarded, there must be some good stuff from the shogunate army hidden there.
Thinking of this, Yi Yan couldn't wait to hide his figure and sneaked in secretly.

"What do you think, the master of the family? He actually ordered to advance the front at this time!"
Inside the tent, Jiu Jiao Suluo was pacing back and forth. She lowered her head and tried hard to think about Kujo Takayuki's intention in issuing this order.
But no matter what she thought, she couldn't think of the benefits of the "advance the front" command. On the contrary, the more Kujo Sora thought about it, the more she felt that it was a stupid move.
"No, I want to go out and see the head of the family!" Kujo Sora shook his head and was about to walk out of the big tent to see Kujo Takayuki.
Lifting the curtain, two intertwined spears appeared in Kujo Sora's eyes.
"General Kujo, you are very tired from running around the battlefield. Please rest for a while. This is the order of the Kujo family master."
The guarding soldiers bent down and bowed their heads, showing the proper etiquette, but the weapons in their hands did not move at all.
"You..." Seeing this situation, Kujo Sera immediately clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
But after she saw the patrolling sergeants from a distance, the anger rising in her heart was finally suppressed.
"You are cruel! Interfering in the military will be at your own risk!" After leaving a gentle warning, Kujo Sora had no choice but to return to his tent.
"How? I just say no, right? Now you are no longer a leading general."
Kujo Masahito, who was surrounded by the old god, did not feel any surprise when he saw Kujo Sanra returning without success.
Now both of their positions have been relieved of their duties. At best, he is just a descendant of a famous noble family.
And he is still the kind of kid from an aristocratic family who does not hold any official position.
"Kujo Masahito, aren't you worried about the victory or defeat of the shogunate army?! It's not like you don't know how serious the consequences of a rash attack will be."
Seeing Kujo Masahito's leisurely look, Kujo Sora couldn't help but slap the table and shouted loudly.
"Worry." Kujo Masahito nodded, then put down the tea cup in his hand, sighed: "But what's the use of worrying? The two of us can't say anything now."
Kujo Sora also fell silent after hearing this. She sat cross-legged across from Kujo Masahito, raised the teapot and drank a lot, feeling like she was drinking to relieve her sorrow.
It can be said that neither Kujo Sora nor Kujo Masahito drinks.
"If you think about it from another direction, this is actually quite leisurely, isn't it?" Kujo Masahito could only say with relief when he saw Kujo's sullen expression.
"Relax? I'll get busy when you're relaxed." A sharp-edged steel helmet slowly rose from under the table, frightening both Kujo Sora and Kujo Masahito.
"Cough cough cough!" Kujo Sora put down the teapot and slapped his chest hard several times, causing big waves to appear in the camp far away from the coast.
However, neither Yi Yan nor Kujo Masahito had the intention to pay attention to the "wonderful scene" in front of them, because they both had something more noteworthy.
"Where did you run in from?" Kujo Masahito was startled when he saw Yu Ember's figure. Then he hurriedly looked at the position of the curtain, fearing that someone would come in at this time.
"Don't worry about it. Also, you can speak louder because I'm soundproofed."
Yi Yan picked his ears and pointed at the twisting and flowing air nearby, which he had already been soundproofing.
"Shouldn't this be the place where secret weapons are kept? Why are there only the two of you?"
Yi Yan looked around and saw that apart from ordinary daily furniture, there was not even a shadow of a weapon, let alone any big killer.
"Secret weapon, what secret weapon can the shogunate have? When the victory of the war is pinned on a certain weapon, the whirlpool of failure is already coming."
After briefly speaking the truth, Kujo Masahito took a few deep breaths and said, "As for us, as you can see, we are now under house arrest."
"..."
Ember raised his eyes and looked at Kujo Masahito and Kujo Sora, not knowing what to say.
"You...aren't you two direct descendants of the Kujo family? How can you still be under house arrest?"
After a long silence, Yi Yan asked, covering his forehead.
This is a lot of information, and he needs to digest it.
The Kujo family had three legitimate sons, the eldest son Kujo Masahito, and the eldest daughter Kujo Sara. Now two of them were deposed at once. How could the Kujo family survive?
"Even if you are a direct descendant, you cannot go against the will of the family head, especially the current head of the family is still my father.
"His authority does not allow anyone except the General to question it, even if we are his children."
Kujo Masahito shook his head. There was nothing he could do about such a tough family leader and father.
"Going against the will of the head of the family? In that case, the large number of people outside were not sent by you?"
Ember moved his ears, questioning? What can Kujo Masahito and Kujo Sora doubt? It is estimated that there is only an order to send troops.
Kujo Masahito nodded, acknowledging Yu Ember's statement.
"That's a good relationship. I have a pretty good impression of you. If I really want to do something, I'm worried that I won't be able to do it!"
Seeing this, Ember took back the straight sword in his hand. This made Kujo Masahito and Kujo Sanra's eyes twitch.
Initially, they thought that Yi Yan had brought a weapon to cut open the tent and sneak into it, but they didn't expect that it was actually used to knife them.
"Yu...Yu Jin, you are joking, we will definitely not make such an order." After hearing this, Kujo Masahito could only laugh twice.
"That's not right. I can understand your objection, but Kujo Sora..."
"uh-huh?"
Ember looked at Kujo Sora behind Kujo Masahito and snorted twice. Kujo Sora, as the executor of the Eye Hunting Order, should she obey the orders above unconditionally?
"You don't have to look at me like that. I know I don't know much about political affairs. But when it comes to fighting, marching, formations, etc., I'm still very confident."
"The stalemate between the shogunate and the rebels has been stagnant for a long time, not because we are timid to fight. It's because the shogunate's current strength can push the battle line as far as this."
"Such a reckless attack will not contribute anything to the war except a waste of troops."
"That's why I opposed the order of the family master. The most important thing now is to gradually erode the power of the resistance army. After the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, we can then launch an army!"
Kujo Sora slowly revealed his inner thoughts. She has a rough grasp of the direction of the war for a long time to come.
It's a pity that the idea in her mind is really just an idea now. There is no chance of implementation at all.
Even if one day he is able to resume his duties as an officer, it will only be after the shogunate army suffered a bloody blow.
By then, your strategy will definitely be different from now.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to have so many thoughts in your heart, Sanluo. I'm just soft-hearted and don't want to attack."
Kujo Masahito couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard that Kujo Sora had so many considerations in his heart.
He opposed the nine orders of filial piety because he didn't want to see rivers of blood, that's all.
"Brother, you are not suitable for this position." Kujo Sora glanced sideways at Kujo Masahito.
As the saying goes, kindness does not lead the army. This does not mean that sergeants in the army do not take the lives of soldiers seriously, but it means that they must have a reasonable prediction of the casualties in every battle.
Send the most suitable troops to fight, and do not allow necessary casualties to obscure your judgment or delay the opportunity to fight.
In that case, it will only cause greater casualties.
"I know, isn't this inappropriate? And I don't plan to get involved in military affairs anymore."
Kujo Masahito was not embarrassed at all by Kujo Sora's advice. He is weak-minded, this is his weakness, and it is also something Kujo Masahito himself knows very well.
He really didn't want to get involved in military affairs. He became the commander-in-chief of the shogunate army because his father forced him to do so in order to consolidate the power of the Kujo family.
This coach is not appropriate!
Chapter 493 The shogunate’s support

"Don't worry about these things. Let me ask you something. Do you know why the shogunate went crazy?"
Seeing that the topic between Kujo Sora and Kujo Masahito was about to turn to family matters, Yu Yan quickly interrupted them.
"As for this..., I'm sorry, I'm not very clear." Kujo Masahito pondered for a while, then shook his head.
"In fact, I don't understand many of Father's decisions. I don't know if it's because I'm too stupid or because Father is too smart."
Recalling the various orders given by his father, Kujo Masahito had a lot of doubts in his heart.
It's just that out of respect for his father, he didn't say it out loud.
"If you are stupid, then who am I?" Kujo Sora snorted coldly when he heard Kujo Masahito's self-effacing remarks.
