Warring States Eagle

Chapter 632 Burning Hakata

Yes, it was the Luo family's army that appeared to the west of Bodo at this time.And something happened to the Harada family responsible for guarding this direction.

Immediately after receiving Masara's order, Akabane Shinnosuke, who was in Mikase Castle, immediately led the second standing ashigaru team to cross the Sanse Toge of Beizhen Mountain to the Harada family's Iimori Castle in Chikuzen Kunito County.At the same time, the fifth standing ashigaru team with Aguda as the main general, Watanabe Michi and Shindai Seungri as lieutenants also marched from Fukaetake Castle to the Harada family's Gaozu Mountain Castle in Shima County, Chikuzen Province.The No. [-] Standing Navy Division of Takashi Murakami and Son Goro as the main generals, and Oyano Tanemitsu and Kamitsuura Takayo as the deputy generals, attacked the coast of Harada's house in order to cope with the attack of the two armies on land.

In an instant, the Luo family's defense against the Ouchi family's attack changed to the Luo family's main attack and the Ouchi family's defense.Seeing the unfavorable situation on Sugi Xingyun's side, Naito Xingsheng had to temporarily transfer the Ouchi family's army stationed in the Harada family, and then left only the Harada family's own army to stick to the territory.

That's right, if the Harada family sticks to the territory, the Luo family's military power will indeed not be able to continue to penetrate the Hakata area.It's just that Akabane Shinnosuke used a tactic of alienation, and directly instigated the fourth son of the Harada family, Harada Tanmon, to assassinate his third brother, Harada Osohide, and took refuge in the Luo family.

Takashige Harada has a total of four sons, the first son Harada Harada Yoshinaka from the main room, the second son Harada Sadaune from the concubine, the third son Harada Osohide and the fourth son Harada Tanemon from the concubine.His son was killed by Zhengliang when the Ouchi family army led by Sugi Xingyun was defeated and fled when Otomo's family invaded Hizen in the 12th year of Tianwen.And this son also died in the chaos army in that battle.It can be said that Takashi Harada lost two sons at once.

Therefore, the family business can only be inherited by the remaining two concubine sons who are not of the same mother, and the third son is naturally the first heir.But regarding the matter of his third brother inheriting the family business, the fourth son has always been brooding, but because of the suppression of his father, Harada, he has never shown it. On the surface, he even pretended to copy his brother's succession The illusion of a family business.Seeing that he was about to take Yuanfu and was sent to Zhoufang to become a small attendant next to Ouchi Yoshitaka, he completely lost the chance to succeed the family governor. At this time, the Luo family took the initiative to find the fourth son Harada Zhongmen.And after showing the head of Harada Takashiro who was trampled to death by the "rebellion" army at the foot of Gaoliang Mountain, he immediately took refuge in the Luo family, and with the assistance of the Luo family, he murdered his elder brother Harada Shinhide and his cronies, and at the same time made Naito Xingsheng The supervising samurai who stayed at the Harada family were also massacred, and the Harada family was completely controlled.

It's just that before Harada Tanemen celebrated his ascension to the position of family governor, he and his cronies were all massacred by Akabane Shinnosuke with thunderous means.Akabane Shinnosuke knew the enmity between the house governor Masahiro and the Harada family, so after completely controlling the territory of the Harada family.He then launched a massacre of the entire Harada family, leaving only the female family members to wait for Zhengliang to be dealt with.

After dealing with all this, Akabane Shinnosuke ordered the navy to go to Hakata Bay on the one hand, and on the other hand, he personally led the second and fifth standing ashigaru teams to head to Hakata from the west.So there was a scene where Naito Xingsheng saw the Luo family's army advancing.Coupled with the military strength of Akabane Shinnosuke, Hakata was surrounded by the Luo family on three sides at this time, and the only thing that was not surrounded was the direction of Hakata Bay.But at this time, the Munakata navy that was in charge of guarding the place was also confronting the Luo family navy that had just arrived.

"Is there still no movement in the direction of Iki Island?" Seeing the army besieging the city, Naito Xingsheng immediately thought of the Hatata navy of Iki Island that he had been in contact with before.In this attack on the Luo family, Bodo also contributed a lot. First of all, he used the spy in the Luo family to know in advance the information that Zheng Liang was going to attack Bamboo Castle, and thus set up an ambush for Zheng Liang. In addition, According to the agreement.The navy from Bodo will also come to help.It's just that up to now, Naito Xingsheng has not seen a shadow of a naval vessel from Bodo. [

"My lord, there is no news yet." The retainer behind him immediately replied.His voice seemed a little timid now.Seeing that there are many Luo family troops outside the city of Bodo, while the defenders of the Ouchi family in Bodo city are weak. Moreover, Bodo is a place of business and trade, and the city walls are relatively low. I understand why the Luo family has not launched an attack for a long time.But he was already timid.

Zheng Liang did not launch an attack on Hakata immediately, which naturally had its purpose.First of all, he intends to show off his power outside the city, so that the forces in the Bodo area can see the power of the Luo family, which will help the Luo family manage Bodo in the future.Secondly, since Hakata is the commercial and economic capital of Kyushu, and he learned from the temple forces, besides a large number of materials left by other forces in Hakata at this time, there are also a large number of big uchi families who secretly transported them to deal with the Luo family. supplies there.Zheng Liang naturally hoped to grab these supplies.

However, Zheng Liang underestimated Naito Xingsheng's determination.Just when he was thinking about how to conquer Hakata, Naito Xingsheng decisively issued an order to evacuate Hakata.

"Ah? My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." When the retreat order was issued.Naito Xingsheng also issued an order to burn Hakata.As soon as this order came out, it immediately surprised all the retainers.Although everyone knows that this is a decision made by the adults in order to delay the Luo family's pursuit of them, and at the same time not want to leave the materials that could not be taken away to the Luo family, but this kind of burning not only burned their own materials. , and even burned the supplies left by other forces in Bodo, so that these forces were offended to death, not only made it easier for the Luo family who entered Bodo to receive Bodo, but also added a lot of enemies to the Ouchi family. .

"I have made up my mind, so I need to say more. I will bear all the responsibilities. I ordered the Munakata Navy at the mouth of the sea to guard the sea route, and at the same time sent a boat to fetch us. Go down and execute it immediately." Naito Xingsheng finally decided. .

"This damn Naito Xingsheng!" When Hakata suddenly billowed thick smoke, he had already rushed back to Daying last night and immediately thought of Naito Xingsheng's plan.He didn't expect Naito Xingsheng to be so decisive at all, and he was almost pissed off immediately.

"My lord, do you want the army of our family to enter Hakata immediately to pursue it? The opponent must have boarded a ship and fled from the port." Shigemasa Yoshida asked immediately beside him.

"Hmph, we have to attack, let everyone stay here." Zheng Liang snorted coldly, and then decided.Perhaps Naito Xingsheng was eager for the Luo family to pursue and enter Hakata.Although this kind of pursuit can kill and capture some of the soldiers of the Ouchi family, the soldiers of the Luo family will also suffer losses in the battle and the fire, and at the same time, it happens that Naito Xingsheng will partly blame the Luo family for the fire of Hakata (spreading rumors, Accused that the Luo family's army that entered Bodo was also involved in the arson), let the Luo family share the hatred value.

Moreover, burning Hakata into a piece of white land, although a lot of supplies were lost due to this, will be beneficial to the Luo family's complete control of the Hakata area in the future.If Bodo is intact, then when those fleeing forces return to Bodo, Bodo will be a place full of fish and dragons. Fortunately, Bodo, which was burned to the ground, will naturally be rebuilt by the Luo family, and all the rules in it will be natural at that time. It is controlled by the Luo family, and the Luo family has the final say on which forces can enter.So after weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Liang naturally chose to stand still.

"However, my lord, what should we do if those forces who are also watching nearby request our family to enter Hakata to pursue them?" After Masara decided to stand still, Yoshida Shigemasa immediately continued to ask.

"Just say that I am not in the big camp, and without my warrant, my army is not allowed to move rashly. As for other forces, if they plan to enter Bodo, let them go in." Wanting Luo's family to be cannon fodder, everyone No.If you want to save your own supplies, let these forces save them by themselves. It’s strange if you guys don’t burn to death in such a big fire, Zheng Liang muttered to himself.

Yoshida Shigemasa cast his eyes away from the main flag of the family that represented the family governor beside Zhengliang, but thought in his heart: Damn, isn't the lord talking nonsense with his eyes open?The main flag is here, but you tell others that it is not there. Is it strange that they believe it?But with the current strength of the family, even if they are not there, what can they say?
