Warring States Eagle

The successful acquisition of Lu Jiacheng gave Luo Shifan a little time to rectify. . .

In the council hall of Lujiao City, Zheng Liang convened all the retainers for a brief evaluation.

"Your Highness, this subject thinks that our family should gather our troops and pursue the coalition forces of the Shaoyi family at full speed, and take advantage of the opportunity to take down the Kanzaki County where the Shaoer family is located. At that time, even if the rest of the tycoons surrender to the Ouchi family, the roads to the rest of Hizen's counties will be closed. Blocked by the main family, the Ouchi family will lose the opportunity to move forward, and after the Ouchi family is stabilized, the main family will go back and clean up the other powerful forces in Saga County and Xiaocheng County one by one." Akabane Nobunosuke said first.

Close the door and beat the dog?Masara understood what Akabane Shinnosuke meant.In fact, what he suggested was a quick way to seize Hizen. The effect was to compete with the Ouchi family for time, and to get as much territory as possible before their army entered Hizen or went deep into Hizen.This is the fastest way, but there are also many risks.

"This method is also feasible, but there are also many risks!" Kakukuma Ishimune first approved of Akabane Shinnosuke's method, "The premise is that the army of the Ouchi family must not advance too fast, and the powerful forces of Xiaocheng County and Saka County I will not cause trouble behind the back of my family. The minister thought that the army of my family can be divided into two. The army of the first line will go north first, and cooperate with the army of the family from Lion City to attack Xiaocheng County and Shangzuojia County. The other army is in charge. Pursue the army of Shao Er's family, and attack the territory of Saka County and even Kanzaki County along the way. This method is more secure."

The two methods given by the two military divisions clearly reflect their respective characteristics. Akabane Shinnosuke's strategy is strange, dangerous, fast, and even poisonous, while Kakukuma Ishimune's strategy is to seek stability first, and then compare strategically. powerful.

"Leaving the army rashly, it is easy to be ambushed by the Shaoer family." Dashi Zhijiu said.

"Well, judging from the damage of the various families in the First Battle of Liujiaochuan, they will not be able to gather enough troops to threaten the main family in a short period of time." Kinoshita Masao also said.

"Let's wait for His Majesty to make a decision."

"I have made up my mind, the army is divided into two groups." Zheng Liang made a quick decision.In the past, the family was small and the business was small.Therefore, Zheng Liang was able to risk his life to gamble, but now with the continuous expansion of power, this cannot be the case.At least in the big strategic direction, it is mainly to seek stability, and then proceed step by step.Gradually expand their power.Akabane Shinnosuke's plan is also very good.It's just that Zhengliang really can't bear the risk of making the army suffer from the enemy if he fails.

Now that the idea has been made.The army was immediately divided into two, with Kinoshita Masunao as the general of the left army and Nobunosuke Akabane as the military adviser.Generals Oishi Tomohisa, Honda Toshimasa, Tetsunosuke, and Enjoji Nobuin, who has just become Masara's sidekick, will be in charge of persuading the Enjoji family to submit to the Luo family, and then send troops to assist Kinoshita Masao in the attack on Xiaocheng County.At the same time, Zhengliang also dispatched messengers.Order Roshi Shingoro in the Lion City to go out to Xiaocheng County to cooperate with Kinoshita Masao's actions.

On the other route, Masarai was the general general, military advisor Kakukuma Ishimune, generals Akuta, Miyazawa Heihachi, and the sidekicks Kato Duanzo, Hidan, Ahri, Ueda Shinji, Murakami Takekichi, Nabeshima Naoshige, and others. Roshi Masamune.This way will pursue the young and second allied forces who are fleeing.

After leaving some soldiers to guard Lujiao City to ensure the safety of the back road, the two armies immediately embarked on the journey again.

Zhengliang's journey has been unexpectedly smooth.Along the way, they did not suffer any attacks, and some of the city walls did not even have any guards.In the afternoon of that day, Zhengliang had captured the village city, Shuijiang city, and Saga city successively, so far.The original territory of the original Longzaosi family was almost occupied by the Luo family.

After occupying Saga Castle, Luo Shifan finally encountered resistance.It turned out that local tyrants such as Fudi, Katadae, Noda, Xiacun, Ishii, Jinchi, Baiwu and other local tyrants in the vicinity saw the army of the Shaoer family leaving suddenly, and planned to take the opportunity to seize the city, but the Luo family who came later took the opportunity.Before they entered the Walled City.At this time, those local tyrants had just assembled their forces.These wealthy families actually have the idea of ​​Luo Shifan.He actually came towards Saga Castle.

After receiving Fan's report, Zheng Liang snorted coldly and said: "These guys chose to stand by when the Longzhaosi family was trapped in the cage city, and now they have their own ideas. It seems that they don't know the strength of the family. You made such a stupid choice." Originally, according to Zhengliang's thinking, he waited until Saga County was stabilized and then slowly turned around to deal with these local tyrants, but now they took the initiative to send them to their door.

"With such a mob, our family can directly defeat them head-on." Kakukuma Ishimune said.

"Just act according to this plan." Zheng Liang also agreed.

Following Zhengliang's order, Luo Shifan took the initiative to go out of the city to meet them, and the two sides met in Muyuan Village.The history seems to be very similar. At that time, the Oda family believed that the disaster that the Shaoer family was almost exterminated by the Ouchi family was caused by the fact that the Longzouji family had informed the Ouchi family that the Ouchi family had concluded a false peace contract for the Shaoer family, so they sent troops angrily. Attacking the Ryuzoji family, the two sides launched a joint battle here, known as the Kihara Battle in history.This battle ended with the victory of the Longzoji family.

At this moment, the army of Luo's family, who had driven away the Shaoer family and occupied the territory of the Longzhaosi family, was fighting with these old ministers of the original Longzhaosi family.

When the two armies met, they fought immediately. Aguda and others were so brave that they beat the opponent dizzy. At this moment, the cavalry of the Luo family, who had circled behind the opponent, suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind under the leadership of Miyazawa Heihachi.The coalition of local tyrants was defeated, and hundreds of people were captured, and almost all the rest were captured.At the same time, in this campaign, Fujijizaemon, Noda Mikawa, Secretary Noda Ken, Inuzuka Zenpachi, Nishiyama Kosaburo, Shimomura Genhachi, Ebu Matajiro, Tian Biliang Daisuke, Tian Biliang Inufangmaru, Fukuchi Zaemon's family Local tyrants such as Ei, Fukuji Shinemon, Fukuji Zenhachiro, and Ishii Zaemon were either captured or captured.

After this battle, the local tyrants in Saga County were almost defeated in one fell swoop.After dealing with these local tyrants, Masaragi once again turned his attention to the Nabeshima family in Honjo Village, the last one with certain strength in Saga County.In order to put pressure on the opponent, Zheng Liang directly dispatched a large army to station near Honzhuang Village.After completing the deployment of all this, it was already in the evening.

At this time, information from various places came in one after another.

The first is the intelligence of Kinoshita Masao's army.They also progressed smoothly. Under Enjoji Shinyin's instigation, the Enjoji family resolutely surrendered to the Luo family, and cooperated with Kinoshita Masunao's army to deceive the gate of Qingqi City that afternoon, allowing Kinoshita Masao to successfully enter sunny city.Chiba Yinlai, who had just acquired Qingqi City, was begged by a warrior of the Luo family before he could sleep on the tatami mat in the bedroom.

It is worth mentioning that Qianye Yinlai is not actually a member of Qianye Yinlian's clan, he is actually the younger brother of Shaoer Dongshang.For a long time, Qianye Yinlian and Qianye Yinlai did not get along.This time Qianye Yinlai took advantage of the opportunity of Chiba Yinlian's death in the battle of Liujiaochuan, took the opportunity to win the position of governor of the Chiba family, and claimed that he was the orthodox Chiba family, which angered Hara Chiba The power of the Yinlian clan is precisely because of this. When Luo Shifan aggressively attacked Qingqi City, most of the soldiers belonging to Qianye Yinlian clan chose to surrender and did not resist, which made it extremely easy for Luo Shifan to capture Qingqi City .

The rapid fall of Qingqi City gave Kinoshita Masao a lot of free time.So with the cooperation of the Enjoji family, Kinoshita Masao and Roshi Shingoro's team who arrived immediately launched a massive attack on the Kuku family, Tsuruta family, Yata family, Tokushima family, and Mojinaga family in Xiaocheng County.

When the detective rushed to Zhengliang's place, the battle was still going on.

In addition to the information about Masao Kinoshita's army, the information about the Ouchi family's army was finally delivered.The Ouchi family, with Tao Longfang as the general, led an army of 1000 people from Chikuzen Kasunyue Castle, and joined forces with the Akizuki family's 4000-strong army to make a total of [-] troops, and they are now storming Shibata Castle of the Chikushi family.

"How is Duanmu Qingzheng?" After reading the information, Zheng Liang asked Hei Ying, who was in charge of delivering the letter.

"Lord Duanmu also followed the Ouchi family's army this time, but he was not restricted from personal freedom. After sneaking into the Ouchi family's barracks, his subordinates easily saw Duanmu lord."

"What does he need you to report to me?" Zheng Liang asked.In Duanmu Qingzheng's letter to Zhengliang just now, Duanmu mentioned that he can ask the black eagle who sent the letter for details.It is obviously a hint that there is still information that needs to be dictated by Black Hawk himself.

"Yes, my lord," Hei Ying replied respectfully, "Master Duanmu asked the villain to tell my lord that the Da Nei family sent troops this time not only to weaken the Shao'er family, but also to restrict the Luo family, so that my lord must be careful. "

"Very good, I already know the information, you go down and rest first." Zheng Liang nodded and said.

The Ouchi family really has another purpose.Historically, the Ouchi family has entered Hizen several times, all to deal with the Shao Er family.The first two failed, and the last one finally forced the young Er Ziyuan to commit suicide, and occupied the three counties of Sanne, Kanzaki, and Saga in Hizen.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the three counties soon and gradually fell into the hands of the retainers loyal to the Shaoer family, and Shaoer Dongshang also used these retainers to revive the Shaoer family in Feiqian.This time, the Ouchi family is still coming for the Ouchi family, but, perhaps in the heart of Ouchi Yoshitaka, the Luo family is more threatening than the Ouchi family at this moment.Although the other party played the banner of accepting the Luo family's invitation to support the Luo family this time, who knows what they really think in their hearts.

From the point of view of strength, although the Luo family is already the most powerful in Hizen, but compared to the giant who controls Chikuzen, Buzen, Anyun, Nagato, and Zhou Fang at the same time, it is weak. too much.Therefore, it is very unwise to confront the big family now.Since you can't fight, you can only show favor, and there are many ways to show favor, but the way to show favor mainly depends on your own strength.Therefore, what the Luo family has to do is to increase their strength as much as possible before the Ouchi family enters Hizen.

"Your Highness, there has been a change in the Nabeshima family." Just as Masara was contemplating, Kato Danzo suddenly came to report.

"Hehe, is that really the case?" Zheng Liang said with a smile, "Pass down the order and let everyone act according to the plan."
