Warring States Eagle

The mighty Matsuura River stretches for several miles, and the thick water waves rumble. On the bank of the river is a high mountain that has stood for hundreds of years.But a solid city wall is inlaid on this high mountain like a pearl.

This city is exactly Kishigake Castle, the overlord of Hizen and Chikugo who dominated Hizen and Chikugo and extended his tentacles to Chikuzen and Higo, and the residence of the Luo family's governor.

At this time, in the magnificent and spacious Kishidake City Council Hall, Zheng Liang was discussing secretly with a mysterious guest who came from afar from Satsuma.

This mysterious guest is Asu Weiqian.

Speaking of Asu Weiqian, one has to mention his father Asu Weichang and the wonderful Juchi family.

Higo's Kikuchi family used to be the most tyrannical family in Higo, and the position of Higo's guardian has always been dominated by the Kikuchi family.But this family is really weird.

In Genpei's hegemony, when Taira was dying in Tanzhipu, the Kikuchi family supported Taira all the time, and paid the price of the death of the eldest son of the family governor, Takacho. During the "Jojiu Rebellion", most of the supporters of the emperor were ministers and monks. However, Kikuchi Notaka, the governor of the Kikuchi family at the time, was an imperial family and also served as a court guard in Kyoto under the order of the shogunate, which is surprising. Standing on the emperor's side.In the early days of Emperor Go-Daigo's downfall, it is true that the people in the Kikuchi family had accumulated resentment towards the shogunate for many years, but they should not take the risk of "ignorant of current affairs" to attack Hakata.During the decades of confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Kikuchi family remained loyal to the Southern Dynasty. Some people would say that this was because the Southern Dynasty gave them benefits, but it was not only the Kikuchi family who made a fortune because of the fall of Emperor Go-Daigo.It seems that the Juchi family has that stubborn and tenacious character in their bones. They value friendship more than interests, which is indeed different from some other families.

Unfortunately.In the era of the Warring States period, which was magnificent, famous generals emerged in large numbers, and victories continued.This so-called difference is bound to lead to the gradual decline of the family.

as expected.During the last two generations of the Kikuchi family, there was a rebellion by the retainers. Although the rebellion was finally put down after two generations, the last orthodox head of the Kikuchi family died of serious injuries during the suppression of the rebellion.At this point, the Kikuchi family officially withdrew from the stage of history.The strength of the Kikuchi family also gradually weakened.

As a result, many forces in the fat queen began to rise.At this time, Aso Weichang, who was the governor of the Omiya Shi family after the fat queen, appeared on the stage.He first colluded with Bungo's Otomo Yoshinaga to strengthen his strength, and further instigated many retainers of the Kikuchi family.In the second year of Yongzheng (1505), 22 vassals including Jo, Akahoshi, and Kumabe jointly submitted an application to the Kikuchi family governor, asking him to hand over the post of guardian of Higo.Changing to Aso Yuishi, the governor of the Kikuchi family would certainly not agree.So in the third year of Yongzheng (1506), Aso Weichang contacted the Otomo family and the Sagara family, took advantage of the Kikuchi family governor and the Otomo army to attack Kumafu Castle, and drove the Kikuchi family governor to Mizushima. , Then he gave up the position of Aso Omiya to his younger brother Weifeng, and he succeeded as the Juchi family governor, changing his name to Juchi Wujing.

But ambition is like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.In order for his son to compete for the position of Omiya Division of Aso Shrine.Asu Weichang and his son Asu Weifeng raised troops to challenge the patriarch Asu Weifeng, and finally defeated them in one battle.Weifeng was expelled from Yabehama House in the city, and Weifeng had no choice but to flee to Hyuga and join his retainer Kai Xuan.After four years of hard work, Aso Weifeng, with the assistance of Kai Sensen, recaptured Hamanokan, and exiled Yuicaga and Yuizen's father and son to Satsuma.

A few years later, with the support of the Shimadzu family, Yuicaga and Yuichou's father and son made a comeback again in an attempt to kill Higo.At this time, Kai Qinxuan is dead, but the two fathers and sons who are in trouble meet Kai Qinxuan's son, Kai Qinzhi (Dharma name Zongyun).So they were defeated again, and finally had to flee back to Summer in desperation.

A month ago, when Zheng Liang's people found the two father and son, they realized that Asu Weichang had died a few years ago with endless resentment and ambition. Only his son Asu Weiqian, who was still trying to return to Feihou, was left .

At this time, Asu Weiqian was also having a hard time.As the Shimadzu family, which unified the Satsuma Peninsula, fell into a battle with many domestic forces, the Izumizu Shimadzu family, who had always supported his father and son to return to Higo, almost survived in name only.Under such circumstances, Asuwei's first two fathers and sons, who had almost lost their role, would naturally have a hard time, and the treatment they received became worse and worse.

Just when Asu Wei was hesitating, Zheng Liang's envoy suddenly appeared in front of him.This made Asu Weiqian seem to have grasped a life-saving straw.

With one victory after another, especially the recent victory against the Allied Forces of the Otomo family, the prestige of the Luo family has completely spread throughout Kyushu.Even Asou, who is far away in Satsuma, has heard of it.If he could get the support of such a powerful daimyo, then his ambition to return to Hihou would definitely not be in vain.

So, after some hints from the envoy of Luo's family, Asu Weiqian immediately came to Feiqian, and finally had a meeting today.

"Do you still want to return to Feiqian?" Zheng Liang, who lured Asu Weiqian to reminisce about his escape life, finally stared at Asu Weiqian and asked.

Feeling Zhengliang's aggressive eyes, Asu Weiqian couldn't help but trembled in his heart.According to the rumors, the governor of the Luo family has the title of "Hitzen Eagle". He is brave, cunning and cunning, making it difficult to guard against.

Since the other party has worked so hard to find himself in Satsuma, he will definitely not be at ease, and there must be a plan for it.But with Asu Weiqian's current intelligence, he really couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to get from him, so he immediately dodged a little when facing Zheng Liang's gaze.

"It seems that you are not as good as your father! Come and see off my guests." Zheng Liang was very clear about Asu Weiqian's careful thoughts.But besides giving a sneer at this, Zheng Liang really didn't know how to evaluate Aso Weiqian's current performance.

To put it bluntly, Asu Weiqian is actually a good-for-nothing right now.At least for now, he has no strength and no hands.The only thing left is the barely worthwhile identity.It can be said that the time has come to the end of the mountain, and this guy is still hesitating?

Aso Wei's previous performance disappointed Zheng Liang greatly.Most of the thought of cooperating with Asu Weiqian for the time being was gone.Even if they really cooperated, Zheng Liang didn't dare to place high hopes on him.Some will only be used, and even turned into a puppet.

Asu Weiqian saw that Zhengliang had a great intention to see off the guests, so he hurriedly said: "I also ask Mr. Feiqian Shou to help me. I am willing to follow the lead of the Luo family."

"Very good!" Zheng Liang succumbed when he saw that Asu Weiqian was so easily forced just now, although he was still dissatisfied with Asu Weiqian's performance, he still pretended to be very happy.This guy is not worthless, at least he has the potential to be a puppet.

"I will provide you with food, grass, weapons, and even send someone to help you if necessary." Zheng Liang said again after Asuwei completely subdued.

"Ah?" Asu Wei never thought that happiness would come so suddenly.At this moment, he even doubted whether the person in front of him was the legendary treacherous and cunning "Fazen Eagle".

"Hehe, there is no need to doubt, these are all true, but your actions must be done according to my requirements. Of course, the main purpose of your actions is to let you return to Feihou and regain your father's honor." Zheng Liang said again .

"Just follow your orders when you get them?" Asu Weiqian reconfirmed.From Asu Weiqian's point of view, Zheng Liang's words have another meaning, that is, he can act according to his own ideas when he has not received Zheng Liang's order.

"Yes, but you also need to provide me with population regularly."

"Population?" Asu Weiqian suddenly became confused.

"Yes, your original location is close to the border of Higo and Satsuma, and it is also close to the islands of Amakusa. I hope you can plunder the people there. At that time, our family will naturally have ships to come to receive these people." Zhengliang said.

"Okay." Although he was still puzzled about Zheng Liang's purpose, he almost missed an opportunity just now, and now he can no longer give a bad impression to the too young patriarch in front of him, so he He decisively agreed to Zhengliang's request.

Of course, Zhengliang's move to secretly support Aso Weiqian did have its purpose.He hoped to use Asu Weiqian to plant a nail secretly in Satsuma.This nail will play a certain role in the Luo family's Satsuma strategy in the future.

At the same time, in Higo's strategy, this nail can also be used as a pawn to contain the Sagara family in the southern part of Higo, so that the Sagara family has no time to take care of the disputes in the central and northern parts of Higo.

In addition, there are many forces in the Amakusa Islands that span the Yatsushiro Sea, Shimabara Bay, and Orange Bay.These are basically half aristocrats and half pirates, and they are also the forces that Zhengliang must face in his next strategy plan.

And the current location of Asu Weiqian is just close to Amakusa Island, and it is inextricably linked with many forces on the island.Perhaps in the near future, Asu Weiqian will play a lot in the Luo family's strategy for this place.

It was almost noon before and after sending off the smug Asuwei.But at this time the sky suddenly began to rain.This is the first spring rain in early spring.At this time in previous years, the spring rain has long been falling, but this year it came very late.

"What a spring rain, what a mountain rain!" Standing in the inner room of the tall castle tower, Zheng Liang couldn't help sighing while looking at the rain scene under the mountain of Gianyue Castle.

"Come on!" At this moment, Zheng Liang suddenly yelled.

"Master Patriarch!" Naomi Naoshima, who walked in quickly, asked immediately.

"Immediately order the horses to be prepared, and we will go to Tokoji Temple in Karatsu now!"
