Warring States Eagle

On the sixth day of the seventh month in the tenth year of Tianwen, Zhengliang, after putting on some make-up, followed the Ouchi family's army to the Takatori Mountain Castle of the Ouchi family in Chikuzen, accompanied only by a few followers.

Hearing that Hizen's eagle had come here, the people in the territory obviously found it very interesting, and they all ran to the side of the road to watch.Kato Danzo and others who were followers were obviously worried that there would be people in the crowd who were trying to attack the Patriarch, so they immediately surrounded Masara.

"Hehe, it doesn't have to be like this!" Zheng Liang persuaded a few of his retainers to leave, but continued to walk forward with his chest held high and a smile on his face.To be honest, Zheng Liang wore a brand-new kimono today, and with his height of more than 1.7 meters, he looked very handsome, and even made the girls around him shine again and again.

"Well, this guy is extraordinary!" Ouchi Yoshitaka said to himself, standing in front of the window of the Takatori Building and watching what happened on the street.

After Masara followed Taketoshi Sagara into the city, he soon came to the lobby of the Takatorikan.At this time, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing walked in.

"I've seen Ouchi Ouchi-sama!" From the expression changes of Sagara Taketo and the others, Masara concluded that the person who came was Ouchi Yoshitaka, so he quickly saluted.

"Your Majesty Zaemon, you don't need to be too polite." Yoshitaka Ouchi immediately replied after sitting upright on the main seat, "I'm really sorry for keeping Lord Zaemon waiting for so long. Please tell me why you are here."

Zhengliang bowed again and said solemnly: "This time, I came here to form an alliance with the Ouchi family. From now on, my Luo family will assist the Ouchi family to attack the enemies in the south of Kyushu, and even defend the Ouchi family against the enemies from Kyushu. Enemies in the south, let Dazai and Daer go to Luo with peace of mind."

"Oh?" Ouchi Yoshitaka's eyes lit up when he heard this.Ever since he was invited by the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu in 1537, he has always wanted to go to Luo.It's just that they are blocked by Nizi's family every time, and Kyushu will often be hindered here.Now that Zhengliang offered to help him ward off the troubles in southern Kyushu, he was really tempted.

In fact, after a full analysis of the Luo family based on the information obtained during this period, Ouchi Yoshitaka also knew that with the current strength of the Luo family, the possibility of attempting to control the Luo family is almost non-existent, however.Now the Luo family offered to help him resist the troubles from the south of Kyushu, which made him realize that he could use the Luo family to complete his great cause of Shangluo.

"Master Zuowei is so determined, does the head of the family have any objections?" Ouchi Yoshitaka said.In his understanding, the Luo's family should be the same as the Ouchi family, there are other tyrants in the family who have certain strength but submit to the Ouchi family.That's why he asked this question.

"Master Dazai Daer, please rest assured. The loyalty of all the retainers can be guaranteed. As for my servant... since I came here alone. I even entrusted my life to Dazai Daer, there is really no need for Dazai Daer There is no question." Zhengliang replied.

"Then, I agree. From now on, the northern wing of our family in Kitakyushu will rely on you. As for the southern part of Kyushu, you can attack without worry." Ouchi Yoshitaka finally agreed to the alliance between the two, and even promised that the Luo family can rely on Use your own strength to conquer other places in Kyushu.Perhaps in Ouchi Yoshitaka's heart, the Luo family is not a very threatening name, so he didn't take this sentence to heart.However, Zhengliang used this sentence as his righteousness in the future, and continued to attack other tycoons in Kyushu.

"By the way, I heard that you don't have a son-in-law yet. Mr. Takeru Sagara happens to have a daughter who is beautiful and virtuous. How about marrying you as his wife?" After agreeing to form an alliance, Ouchi Yoshitaka said immediately.

"I can't ask for it." Zheng Liang said immediately.In this era, in order to strengthen the alliance or hold various purposes, it is normal to marry each other.However, Taketoshi Sagara suddenly became his father-in-law.It made Zheng Liang feel a little strange.Moreover, Zheng Liang was also very curious about Sagara Taketo's daughter.According to historical records, a few years later, when Tao Longfang and Sagara Taketoshi had a bad relationship, Ouchi Yoshitaka tried to reconcile their relationship.It was once an attempt to marry Sagara Taketo's daughter to Tao Longfang.Damn, the daughter who is going to marry her now will not be the daughter in the future.In this way, wouldn't he have robbed Tao Longfang's wife? In fact, Tao Longfang rejected this marriage that he regarded as an insult to his Wu family.If your inference is true.Then this daughter must be very young.How small is it?Zheng Liang couldn't help feeling uneasy.

As for the position of the royal family, Zheng Liang is not worried at all.The big deal is to get two main rooms.Anyway, whether it is the main room, side room or concubine.Zheng Liang is treated equally.After a year of inculcating this point of view, the women in the family have gradually accepted it.Anyway, they also know that their husbands always come up with all kinds of weird ideas, including those embarrassing poses on the tatami at night.

"Sir Sagara, please give me your advice in the future." Thinking of this, Masaragi saluted Sagara Taketoshi.

Sagara Taketo also smiled back at Masara.

"In addition, Duanmu Kiyomasa of your family is very talented. I hope to keep him in my family as a guest general. I don't know what Master Saemon thinks?" Ouchi Yoshitaka continued.

Is it true?Zheng Liang thought to himself after hearing the words.On the way to Takatori Mountain Castle, Zheng Liang and Duanmu Kiyomasa, who was an entourage, had guessed the conditions of the Ouchi family's alliance. Among them, they speculated that the Ouchi family might ask the Luo family to keep their retainers as hostages.After all, Zhengliang has no heirs now, so he can only keep important ministers as hostages.

In fact, Ouchi Yoshitaka also has his own calculations.One is that he really intends to let Luo's family keep hostages; the other is that he really values ​​Duanmu Qingzheng's talent, especially Duanmu Qingzheng's tea art, which he praised endlessly.He was originally a person who liked the culture of Kyoto and was interested in various tea arts and other cultures. Seeing that Duanmu Qingzheng is so proficient in this way, of course he hoped to keep him.Therefore, even though Duanmu Qingzheng stayed in the Ouchi family as a hostage in name, he was actually a retainer of the Ouchi family, and the latter was a guest general of the Luo family who lived in the Ouchi family.

"In this case, please ask Dazai Daeru to take care of it." Zheng Liang gritted his teeth and finally agreed.Duanmu Qingzheng stayed in Ouchi's house as a guest, which was both beneficial and disadvantageous.The advantage is that Duanmu Qingzheng can be used as a hidden stake placed by the Luo family in the Ouchi family, passing on the information of the Ouchi family at any time. Although those important information cannot be obtained by Duanmu Qing, some basic information can still be obtained.Unfortunately, once Duanmu Qingzheng left, there was no one in the territory who dealt with those temples.

The so-called gains must be lost, in such a situation, Zheng Liang could only grit his teeth and endure.

On the sixth day of the seventh month of the tenth year of Tianwen, the Luo family and the Ouchi family signed an alliance.When the news came out, everyone was shocked.Originally thought that the Ouchi family would take the opportunity to completely get involved in Hizen, but it turned out to be such an ending.The heroes began to think about the impact of the two alliances on themselves.

Just when the surrounding heroes were having their own thoughts, Zheng Liang returned to Zhongcun City on July [-], Tianwen Ten Years.On the way back, the results of the Ouchi family's handling of the surrendered tyrants came out.As the chief culprit of this conflict, Shaoer Dongshang, firstly the territory directly under his jurisdiction, Shifuji Castle, was confiscated, and his vassal Lingbu Castle also suffered the same fate, leaving only Mutian City as the territory of the Shaoer family, and Shaoer Dongshang Takato was exiled, and it is said that he was exiled to the Kusano family in Chikugo, and his younger brother Masaoki succeeded as the governor of the family.Poor little guy, he's only ten years old.

The Chikushi family was also confiscated this time, Shibata Castle in Chikuzen and Asahiyama Castle in Hizen, leaving only Katsuo Castle.The only one who was almost not punished was the Jindai family. Except for being ordered to send hostages, he almost kept all the territories.

For the confiscated fortresses, the Da Nei family will send troops to station them.So far, the Ouchi family has almost controlled Hizen's three counties of Jigen, adoptive father, and Sanne, while Kanzaki County is a bit special, because it is divided and controlled by the Luo family, the Ouchi family, the Shoji family, and the Jindai family.Judging from the map, the fortresses occupied by the Ouchi family in Hizen are almost all connected together, ensuring that in the event of a war, these fortifications can be linked together to support each other.And through such a deployment, the Ouchi family achieved the purpose of infiltrating their forces into Hizen, and also allowing each family to maintain a little check and balance against each other.Especially its arrangement in Kanzaki County not only separated the Shaoer family and the Jindai family, but also surrounded the Ouchi family and the Luo family's territory, and made these two families a barrier against the Luo family's development to the north.The whole arrangement can be described as extremely brilliant.

Although a little dissatisfied with this result, the Luo family also took advantage of this period of time to plunder the population of Kanzaki County, and destroyed the farmland of the Shendai family and the Shaoer family, causing them to reduce their autumn harvest by a large amount.

In the meeting hall of the city in the village, all the retainers of the Luo family gathered together.

"Before the evaluation begins, I would like to tell everyone a good news." Zheng Liang, who was sitting on the main seat, said, "The Ouchi family has recommended me to the imperial court as the new guardian of Hizen, and the imperial court will send an Andu document soon. "With the recognition of the imperial court, Zhengliang is already the leader of Hizen Kingdom in terms of strength and name.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!", "The Luo family's military fortune is prosperous!" All the retainers praised one after another.

"Thank you for your dedication in this strategy." Zheng Liang said.

"Yuancheng Temple Xinyin!" Zheng Liang began to reward.

"My subject is here!" According to the agreement, Yuancheng Temple Xinyin has become Zhengliang's sidekick at this moment.Moreover, Yuancheng Temple Xinyin's father is also very good at life after seeing the general situation clearly. After assisting the Luo family to conquer Xiaocheng County and Zuojia County, he took the initiative to give up the position of family governor, and then let Yuancheng Temple Xinyin inherit After taking the position of family governor, he finally went to live in seclusion.The old man could see that if he wanted to revitalize the Yuancheng Temple family, he had to follow the Luo family closely.

"Your clan will inherit the orthodoxy of the Qianlan clan from now on," Zheng Liang said.As the lord of a country, he has the right to determine such a thing in this name.
