Warring States Eagle

Facing Shan Xingyun's difficulty, Duanmu Qingzheng sneered and denounced:

"At the end of the year before last, the Allied forces of the Ouchi family invaded Hizen. Some people deliberately set aside the most loyal ally of the Ouchi family, the Luo family, and fought alone. Later, they were defeated by the Ouchi family in a strange and favorable situation. After returning to the territory, not only did they not close their doors to reflect On the contrary, he also talked about the successor of the master's family governor without authorization, as if he had known the outcome of the war in his own family; since the envoy of Dayou's family came to Zhou Fang, some people have become more and more close friends with him, which makes people have to wonder if it is secretly Tong Dayou's house itch.

"You?" Shan Xingyun was so angry that he lost his composure. After waking up suddenly, he knelt down to Ouchi Yoshitaka and said, "My lord, I request you to fight to the death with me."

"Hahaha, come on, I also have the same intention, a guy who was so frightened when he saw Dayou's house, I have no intention of fear." Duanmu Qingzheng said with a bold smile.

"Okay, everyone calm down!" Ouchi Yoshitaka finally spoke.As soon as these words came out, all the ministers, Duanmu Qingzheng and others immediately bowed their heads and apologized together. [

"Tell me, Kiyomasa. Tell me what Masara means." Ouchi Yoshitaka continued.

"Master Dazai Daiji, since the battle of Ouchi and Otomo, under the mediation of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu, Ouchi and Otomo have reconciled. The Otomo family took advantage of the emptiness of the Ouchi family to directly send troops to invade Hizen. It can be seen that the Otomo family is a treacherous generation, and it is absolutely unbelievable. On the contrary, the main family not only responded positively to Dazai Daieru’s Izumo strategy, but the head of the main family is even more loyal to Otomo When the family sent troops to Hizen, they resolutely returned to Hizen with injuries and personally led troops to resist the Ouchi family. This shows that the family is indeed a close ally of the Ouchi family. Now, the Ouchi family is sending troops to Chikugo again. If the Ouchi family chooses to stand by at this time .Once the Ouchi family gains momentum in Chikugo again, they will definitely be a strong enemy of the Ouchi family." Duanmu Qingzheng said bluntly.

"What do you guys think?" Ouchi Yoshitaka asked after listening to Duanmu Kiyomasa's words and pondering for a while, looking up at the family members in the meeting hall.

"My lord, Oyou's family is the current strong enemy of our family. Our family should send troops to Zhuhou immediately to support our ally Luo's family." Tao Longfang, who had not spoken out until now, said.

"No, this is a battle between Otomo's family and Luo's family. There is absolutely no need for our family to send troops to Chikugo. It is caught in the dispute between these two families." Shan Xingyun raised the banner of opposition again.

"What about you?" Ouchi Yoshitaka once again set his sights on Naito Xingsheng and Sagara Taketo, obviously hoping to listen to their opinions.

"Everything is decided by the master." Unexpectedly, Naito Xingsheng, who had always opposed his family's sending troops to Chikugo, no longer expressed his opposition clearly at this time.

"Everything is up to the lord to decide." Takeshi Sagara, who has always been tactful in dealing with things, also said to avoid suspicion.

"It's up to the lord to decide everything." Seeing this, the rest of the retainers knelt down and said.

For a while, the choice of decision-making returned to Ouchi Yoshitaka.

"In that case, we will discuss this matter later." Ouchi Yoshitaka finally said simply.At this time, he was still thinking about the tea party this afternoon, so he really didn't pay much attention to the dispute between Dayou and Luo's two families.Therefore, the issue of whether to send troops to Chikugo was put on hold.

For such a result, Shan Xingyun seemed very happy.Because at least Ouchi Yoshitaka did not make a decision to send troops.Although Duanmu Qingzheng still frowned, he felt relieved.Even if the Ouchi family did not decide to send troops, as long as the Ouchi family did not pursue the assassination of the Ouchi family's envoy, that would be enough.Ouchi's family is probably the most dissatisfied with this result, but apart from Ouchi Yoshinaga who became the son of Ouchi Yoshitaka, there is no one in Ouchi's family who can speak at this time.

While the Ouchi, Luo, and Otomo families were still arguing in Yamaguchikan over whether the Ouchi family should send troops to Chikugo, Ouchi Yoshikan, who was in the main line of the Ouchi family's army in Chikugo, was caught in a dilemma.

Although he had built an encirclement circle around Luo's family this time, since the army was launched, everything went wrong.

First of all, the 1000-man army of Shiga's guards, who were the vanguard, was ambushed by the Luo family and suffered heavy losses. Even his important minister, Shiga's guards, died tragically.This was a blow to him who was aiming to give Luo's family a hard blow.What's more serious is that this is also a blow to the morale of the entire conquest army.

Secondly, when Dayou and Luo's armies confronted each other at the foot of Mount Gaoliang, bad news came from Feihou.Feihou's expeditionary army was ambushed by Luo's family in Feihou's territory. Not only was the whole army defeated, but they even suffered heavy losses.Not only was Ji Hongjianli, the general of the conquest army on the road, captured, but even the armies of the wealthy clans in Feihou were defeated, and it was impossible to wexe the Luo family's territory.What made Otomo Yoshikam furious the most was that Kikuchi Yoshitake, who had secretly agreed to his reconciliation before, betrayed him again. The Chixing family launched an attack, killing the army of the Chixing family headed by the Chixing family in the ambush, and then even captured the residence of the Chixing family, Nunfu City. Take refuge in Dayou's house.

Finally, there is news from the Five Islands Navy.Although at the instigation of Otomo's family, the Goto navy generals, the envoy of the Luo family who came to Goto to make friends with Goto, became excited.But the Wudao navy did not follow the suggestion of the envoy of the Otomo family and killed the envoy of the Luo family.What disappointed Otomo Yoshikam even more was that the Five Islands navy only assembled on the edge of the Luo family's territorial waters, but did not launch an attack on the Luo family's navy.

Therefore, since the expedition in June, each of the three armies organized by Yoshikami Otomo has been hit to varying degrees or made no progress.

"Damn Luo's family!" Otomo Yijian said angrily in his heart.He knew that as long as his army made progress along the way, the Wudao Shui army would make up their minds to attack the Luo family, and the powerful families in Higo's side would reunite, and even form a new Luo family conquest army. maybe.However, he has nothing to do with the progress of the army on this road at this time. [

It has been nearly a month since the two families fought at the foot of Mount Gaoliang, and it was about to enter August, but the Otomo family army was caught in a tug-of-war with the Luo family.

The Luo family adopted trench tactics, constantly digging trenches on the battlefield between the two armies, and then relying on the trenches to block the attack of the Otomo family.This forced Otomo Yoshikam, who originally planned to use the advantage of numbers to launch sea tactics against the Luo family, to fall into a battle with the Luo family for the trenches.

However, the Luo family's bows and arrows and iron cannons are too powerful, especially those weapons called iron cannons. When attacked at close range, even the wooden shield used for body protection will be shot by those iron cannons. shot through.In order to deal with these weapons, Yoshikami Otomo racked his brains, but still had little effect.Therefore, since the two armies started the war, the Dayou family's army has not even had a chance to reach the outer edge of the Luo family's main formation.Based on this current situation, Otomo Yoshikam's temper is getting worse and worse, and he often finds someone to vent his anger.

As a military adviser, Usuki Kamsu is also very clear about why Otomo Yoshikam has such a violent temper.While he felt deep self-blame in his heart for suggesting Otomo Yoshikami and Kikuchi Yoshitake to discuss peace, he also hoped in his heart that Otomo Yoshikan would decisively order the withdrawal of troops.Following the accidents of the two armies of Higo and Goto Navy, the army of this route encountered obstacles again. Kamsu Usuki had expected that this time the conquest against the Luo family would have to be temporarily suspended, and if the stalemate continued, for the Otomo family It will only get worse.

Regarding the suggestion of withdrawing troops, Usuki Jiansu had already proposed to Otomo Yoshikan, but he was rejected by Otomo Yoshikan.Otomo Yoshikami was still hopeful about defeating the Luo family's army at the foot of Gaoliang Mountain. What he relied on was his army of more than 1 people.

In this regard, Usuki Kamsu is really a little helpless. In Usuki Kamsu's view, there is only one way to break the Luo family's trench position, and that is to attack the Luo family's position regardless of casualties.However, in order to avoid casualties, out of the consideration of maintaining its own strength, neither the Dayou family itself nor the wealthy families subordinate to the Dayou family will do so. This is also the reason for the current confrontation between the coalition forces.After sighing in his heart, Kamsu Usuki opened his mouth and prepared to persuade Otomo Yoshikam to temporarily suspend his troops again.

"Report!"

At this moment, a warrior outside the big tent came to report loudly.
