Warring States Eagle

"You mean the kind of weapon that makes a loud noise mentioned in the information?" Takahisa Shimadzu said after listening to the analysis of ten-year-old Matasaburo.

"My lord, there are rumors that Hizen's Luo's family has contacts with a strange giant ship on the sea, and it may be related to the people on this ship." This time, the one who spoke this time was Ijuin Tadaro, who had just become the head of the family.

"In this case, let's send someone to Hizen to investigate." Shimadzu Takahisa decided.

While the Shimadzu family was discussing the outcome of the Great War in northern Kyushu, Higo was separated from Satsuma and Osumi by the towering Kunimi Mountain.

This is a small yard near Fukagawa in Kikuchi Village, Kikuchi-gun, Higo.A middle-aged man who was nearly 40 years old was sitting on his knees in the middle of the yard, his expression was a little cloudy.This person is Otomo Shigeharu who changed his name to Kikuchi Yoshitake.

Since he changed his name to Kikuchi Yoshitake at the request of his elder brother Otomo Yoshikan and inherited Higo Kikuchi's family, his life suddenly became dark.He is a member of Otomo's family, and he should have followed Otomo Yoshikami's idea and took this opportunity to vigorously expand Otomo's influence in the fat.But he didn't want to be a puppet, and even regarded himself as a member of the Kikuchi family, and he wanted to revive the Kikuchi family business, but he couldn't get the support of the original retainers at all.

This time, he secretly united with Ouchi and Sagara's family to fan the flames in Higo, so that Otomo Yoshikan dared not devote all his troops to the battlefield of Chikugo.

At the beginning of the war between the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family, Kikuchi Yoshitake was disappointed because he received the news that only the Ouchi family's coalition forces had retreated.This made him very nervous, because once the Ouchi family failed, then Otomo Yoshikan would have the time and energy to settle accounts with Higo Akio.

But suddenly there was such a period of time.He can no longer receive the battle situation of Chikugo and Hizen.The only thing he knew during this time was that the Arima family, which he had been friends with all along, planned to take advantage of the fire to plunder the army and returned without success in Hizen.

In this tormented waiting.He finally got a brand new news today.That means Dayou's family lost the battle.After getting this news.He hid in the yard alone and laughed wildly for a long time.Then he picked up the information in his hand again and sat in a daze.

A brand new name appeared in front of his eyes, and this name was the Luo family.It can be inferred that after this battle, the Luo family will inevitably become an indispensable member of Kyushu daimyo.Its influence has extended to Chikugo.

So Kikuchi Yoshitake was tempted.In order to realize his ambition, he must get the support of more powerful people, and the current Luo family has obviously become one of his goals.But the Luo family seems to be the sworn enemy of the Arima family, so at this time he is caught in a contradiction.No matter which side is looking for support, it is possible to offend the other side.

Compared with Kikuchi Yoshitake's ambivalence.Otomo Yoshikam was furious at the moment.With a force of more than 1 people, it can't deal with the coalition forces of less than [-] people.

Yes, until now, Otomo Yoshikan still believes that the Luo family is just a part of the Ouchi family's coalition forces.And this failure was completely a trap set by the Ouchi family from the very beginning.

This is simply a shame.And this defeat directly led to the postponement of his plan to recover the fat.What that damned brother Kikuchi Yoshitake did was becoming more and more unbearable for him.So he originally took advantage of this big victory against Hizen Raiders to deal with this disobedient brother by the way, and completely regained Hiko.Now the dream is broken.

However, Kikuchi Yoshitake is nothing more than a clown in his eyes now. After this defeat, Otomo Yoshikan decided to recuperate first and then return to Chikugo.Even if Hizen cannot be occupied, Chikugo, which has always been the sphere of influence of the Otomo family, must not be allowed to be touched by others.

Kikuchi Yoshitake, who was far away in Hihou, didn't know at this moment that he had escaped a catastrophe.And Masaragi, who was in Chikugo, didn't know even more, because of his big victory this time, it directly changed the time when Otomo's family took Kikuchi Yoshitake back to Higo.History has thus changed.

Otomo Yoshikan was licking his wounds with red eyes and preparing to make a comeback, but Sugi Xingyun, who had fled back to Chikuzen Takatorii Castle as the nominal winner, was also unhappy.

The defeat of Dayou's family is not only not his honor, but his shame.Even more humiliating than the defeat of Otomo's family.Because he was indeed completely defeated by Otomo's family.

What's even more ironic is that he had repeatedly ridiculed in the coalition camp that the head of the Luo family was an upstart, and all his previous achievements were nothing more than luck.As a result, this "upstart" who was worthless in his eyes defeated the Allied Forces of Dayou who had already defeated him.

This battle had a profound impact on the Ouchi family and his Sugi family.

First of all, due to the death and injury of a large number of soldiers and generals, the strength of the rich families in Chikuzen has dropped drastically, especially the Harada family guarding the northwest. Almost all of their sons have died. It is estimated that Harada Takashi, the head of the family, will directly spurt blood and faint when he finds out. .

Secondly, due to his incompetence in the war, especially against the record of the head of the Luo family, it became more obvious.This led to dissatisfaction and even contempt for the Sugi family among the noble families in Chikuzen.This will greatly affect the rule of the Sugi family as the guardian generation of Chikuqian.

Finally, the most serious thing is that due to the heavy damage of the coalition forces to the Hizen nobles in the Middle East, it was easier for the Luo family to control these Hizen nobles after the war.And with the fall of these wealthy families, it was officially announced that the influence of the Ouchi family in Hizen had officially dissipated, and Hizen would really become the Luo family's world in the future.

This is the last thing Yoshitaka Ouchi wants to see, so Sugi Xingyun is ready to be punished after Yoshitaka Ouchi returns from Izumo.Now he very much hopes that Ouchi Yoshitaka's strategy in Izumo will be a complete success.Because in this way, his punishment can be reduced a little.

However, history will prove that his idea is completely impossible, so he is destined to be a tragic figure.

Of course, he should also be thankful, because there is a more tragic character than him.

This is Shaoer Dongshang.

As a patriarch with ideals and ambitions, Shaoer Dongshang devoted himself to revitalizing the glory of Shaoer's family.However, he met the wrong person at the wrong time.

Twice in a row, when he was about to repeat the glory of Shaoer Family, he fell at the feet of one person.

This person is Luo Shizhengliang.

At this moment, in the eyes of Shaoer Dongshang, Luo Shi Zhengliang is already the incarnation of a devil.He prayed all the time to God Amaterasu to bring divine punishment and punish this hateful Luo Shizhenliang.

It's a pity, obviously, the Amaterasu God he believed in couldn't compete with the Hachiman Bodhisattva promoted by Zheng Liang, so instead of finding divine punishment, he brought disaster instead.

Ever since he was rescued by Puchi's family, during this period of time, Shaoer Dongshang has had nightmares almost every night, dreaming that he is being chased and killed by a large number of people every day.

Tonight, he once again woke up from the tatami in sweat.

Wiping the sweat from his thinning face, he sat up.Dimly, he found a person standing in front of the tatami.

He was shocked suddenly, and immediately took a look. (To be continued..)
