Warring States Eagle

After all, Zhengliang still has to thank the dead Otsuyama Zidong. If he hadn't burned down most of the temples in Yamaga County in a fit of anger, Zhengliang would probably have to worry about the monks and soldiers in the temples in the territory at this time. I have a headache.Now under the blow of Otsu Sanjitou, there are almost no decent temples in Yamaga County, let alone the monks and soldiers of the temple.At this time, those who came to petition Zheng Liang were probably the last remaining monks and soldiers in Yamaga County.

These monks and soldiers were probably hiding in the mountains before, so they were not poisoned by the Otsuyama family. Now that they saw the change of dynasty in Yamaga County, they boldly ran out.

I don't know if these monks and soldiers feel good about themselves, or if they are stupid, they not only appeared outside Kamio City in a grand manner, but even proposed the naive idea of ​​asking Zhengliang to help them rebuild the temple with money and food.

The moment he received the request from the monks and soldiers, Zheng Liang's first thought was to kill them immediately, so as not to continue to cause trouble in his territory in the future.

But looking back, it seemed a little wrong.Since the other party dared to come forward to make the request, there must be someone behind them, maybe some other companions of theirs are observing near Kamio City at this time.If Zhengliang killed these people, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be known by the temple forces such as Yixiangzong in other areas of Feihou in the future, then the Luo family will have many enemies for no reason.

"Forget it, I'll let you live." After deliberation, Zheng Liang finally decided to let them go.However, their request naturally did not get any response from Zheng Liang, and Zheng Liang just set a date for them to freely leave the territory of the Luo family.Then he sent them away.this way.Although it will still offend the temple forces such as Yixiangzong.But it wouldn't be enough to become sworn enemies with them. Moreover, it would allow these people to return to other areas of Feihou to continue causing trouble. This is already the best way to deal with it.

Of course, dismissing these monks is only the first step.Afterwards, the Cabinet of the Luo Family will quickly take over the internal affairs of Yamaga County, and then forcefully implement the Luo Family's Duty System, taking advantage of the fact that the temples in Yamaga County are in a weakened period after being hit, and completely control all the temples and shrines in Yamaga County. stand up.

In this way, it is estimated that there will not be a year or a half.The Luo family could not completely digest Yamaga County.

While Zheng Liang was handling the affairs of Yamaga County, which was newly conquered by the war, at the Kamio City Council Hall, an unexpected guest came to Kikuchi's house in Nunfu Castle.

"I don't know why your Excellency visited late at night?" Kikuchi Yoshitake asked with a sarcasm on the seat of the meeting hall.

"I'm here for the survival of the Juchi family." The visitor said seriously.This person is Nao Nao Kai, who just parted ways with the family of Nakibe and Toujo Shiro.In order to promote Higo's powerful families to unite against the Luo family, Kai personally entered the Kikuchi family's Fucheng, which is still considered to be a hostile camp, to meet Kikuchi Yoshitake.

"Hahaha..." Kikuchi Yoshitake, who was above the main seat, suddenly burst out laughing after hearing Kai's straightforward words.

In Kikuchi Yoshitake's view, if the rich families such as the Shiro family and the Nubu family belong to the rich families of relatives and friends.Then, the Kai family and the Omiya Shi family are the lackeys of the Otomo family.Back then, the Kikuchi family almost unified Hihou and drove the Otomo family out of Hihou, but they were betrayed by the Koshi family at a critical moment, and under the leadership of Toji Kanren, the Kai family and the Omiya Shi family even acted as It became the main force to attack the Kikuchi family.In the end, the Kikuchi family was almost wiped out.Now the new governor of the Kai family, who almost caused the demise of his family back then, came to tell him that he came here for the survival of his family, which is really quite ironic.He even had the urge to take the opportunity to kill Kai in front of him and cut off the arm of the Omiya Shi family.

"Master Juchi, please let go of the past grievances between the two families. Now the army of the Luo family is about to enter Juchi County. Although the Juchi family still has the Cheng family and the Wubu family in front of the Juchi family, once the Luo family continues to penetrate into Juchi County, they will be close to the above two families. Will the Kikuchi family survive?" Kai ignored Kikuchi Yoshitake's ridicule and said as calmly as possible.

"Oh? Don't you think that Chengqin Dong and Wubuqin can't resist the attack of Luo's family?" Kikuchi Yoshitake continued to sarcastically.

"The Luo family's army has always been known for its proficiency in field battles. Moreover, Ryuzoji Takanobu under Lord Kikuchi seems to have seen the power of the Luo family's army in field battles with his own eyes?" Kai said bluntly.He was tantamount to directly admitting that the Cheng family and the Wubu family alone could not stop the Luo family's army.

"Hmph! Even though my family is willing to join forces with you, my family cannot trust Otomo's family." Kikuchi Yoshitake said directly.

"Your Majesty, together with Mr. Nagyui Sagara from Koroku Castle in Yatsushiro Prefecture, will go to Otomo's family together to facilitate the negotiation between you and Otomo's family." Kai had already expected Kikuchi Yoshitake's doubts, so he said immediately.

"Nagayui Sagara?" Kikuchi Yoshitake couldn't help being taken aback when he heard that.Sagara Nagayuki has always been on good terms with the Ouchi family and the Sagara family clan. It can be said that this person is the spokesperson for the friendship between the Ouchi family, the Sagara family clan and the rest of the Higo clan.And not long ago, Sagara Choyui, Wei Qing father and son, in order to assume the official positions of father Miyauchi Shosuke and Zi Youbingweizuo, greeted the imperial envoy, the official affairs (chief of affairs) of the Taisho Official Bureau (Affairs Chief) Koki Iji , and held a grand inauguration ceremony.In addition to the verbal orders, the Imperial Envoy Koki Iji also came to this remote Kyushu with the dress (clothes and belt) bestowed by the emperor.Nagaoi Sagara, who has obtained the official position of the imperial court, is indeed qualified to contribute to the reconciliation between the Kikuchi family and the Otomo family.And with him coming forward, there is a certain guarantee for the authenticity of the peace talks.

"Hmph! This matter is of great importance, and I cannot immediately agree to your proposal." After thinking about it secretly, Kikuchi Yoshitake finally gave an ambiguous answer.

"The Luo family is ambitious. Once we enter Juchi County, we will never have a peaceful day. Please, Master Kikuchi, carefully consider your suggestion." Kai finally said directly.

In the end, Kikuchi Yoshitake resisted the temptation to take the opportunity to kill Kai Kinao and sent him away, and then returned to the meeting hall to meditate.

To be honest, Kikuchi Yoshitake was really tempted by Kai's direct proposal.At this time, the Kikuchi family had just occupied the territory of the former Akahoshi family, and it really needed enough time to slowly digest it.At this time, if it is possible to avoid an immediate war with Otomo's family, this is naturally the best.

Moreover, as the Luo family blatantly invaded Feihou, his dissatisfaction with the Luo family became more and more intense.Fei Hou has always been regarded as his own territory, and now Luo's family has come to take a piece of the pie regardless of his feelings, what is this?However, during the First World War last year, he realized that the Xiaodai family had already secretly joined the Luo family, and Kikuchi Yoshitake, who was an ally of the Luo family, did not know this fact until after the end of the war. It can be seen that the Luo family did not He is not seen as a true ally.

"It's just that if you betray the Luo family, there must be enough benefits!" Kikuchi Yoshitake finally said to himself. (To be continued..)
