Warring States Eagle

Chapter 709 Undercurrents of the Four Kingdoms

In Hyuga Nada on the coast of Hyuga Country, the results of the first battle between the Ito family's navy and the Luo's family's navy shocked Saiyuanji. The strength of the Luo's family's navy was too strong in this water battle. up.But the information that followed surprised him even more.

The Luo family navy that secretly arrived on the coast of Bungo country joined forces with the Luo family navy that was originally stationed there, and cooperated with the local Luo family defenders who were fighting against the coalition forces of the Otomo Saeki family and the Ito family in Haibu County, Bungo country. In one fell swoop, they attacked the camps of the Otomo Saeki family and the Ito family in one fell swoop, and drove the defeated soldiers of the Otomo Saeki family and the Ito family to the hinterland of the Saeki family's territory.So far, the troubles of the Luo family in the southeast have been temporarily resolved.At least for a short period of time, neither the Saeki family nor the Ito family dared to attack the Luo family's border area easily.

After this big victory, the Luo family's navy didn't seem to stop at this point. Instead, they directly rushed to the coastal areas of Hayami County and Kunisaki County of Bungo Country.Here, there is another fierce battle with the Otomo's navy that was put together improvised.

The Luo family's navy, which had an advantage both in numbers and in the number of warships, finally defeated the Otomo's navy after a day of fierce fighting.Since then, in the eastern part of Kyushu, from the coast of Kunisaki County in the northernmost Bungo country to the coast of Hyuga country in the south, the Luo family's navy has formed a dominance situation.Although the Luo family cannot invade these coastal areas by landing warships, they can harass these areas.More importantly, the commercial route in this sea area was once again opened up by the Luo family, and the joint strategy of the Ouchi family, the Otomo family, and the Ito family to block the sea route of the Luo family failed.

As for the waterways on the Shikoku side?Due to the sudden sudden death of Yiyi Fangji, the governor of the Tosa family, the Yiyi family has fallen into chaos at this time, and has no energy to cooperate with its traditional allies, the Ouchi family and the Otomo family, to block the Luo family's maritime trade routes. block up.

As for the Shikoku Iyo area across the sea from Bungo country, especially the Saiyuanji family facing the Bungo waterway, they will directly face the threat of the Luo family's navy.

This had to make Xiyuan Temple's full mood dignified again.So he instantly thought of several guests who had been guests at Xiyuan Temple's home for several days.

"How are the guests from the two parties now?" Xiyuan Temple Shichong gently put down the information in his hand.He looked up at Xiyuan Temple Gongguang and asked.

"There is nothing abnormal about both parties, and they stayed quietly in their respective yards. It's just that they both hope that the family can make a wise decision as soon as possible." Xiyuan Temple Gongguang replied. [

"Is it a wise decision?" Xiyuan Temple said to himself with a heavy face.This kind of choice among the overlords is really embarrassing.

Otomo's family, as the former overlord of the Bungo country, is now a down-and-out phoenix that is not as good as a chicken.The decline of Otomo's family is naturally a good thing for the Xiyuanji family that has been invaded by Otomo's family.But this time, the envoy of the Ouchi family came on behalf of the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family.The Kono family in Kita Iyo has also been invaded by the Ouchi family before.As a result, the Kono family had to expand their influence to the south of the Iyo country in order to have enough territory and resources to resist the Ouchi family.This is also the reason why the Kono family has been invading the territory of the Xiyuanji family.

It would not be a good move if the Ouchi family connected with the Ouchi family through the Ouchi family, and then begged the Ouchi family to send troops to force the Kono family to suspend their invasion of the Xiyuanji family.

It's just that the Luo family, which has almost completely controlled the Bungo Suido at this time, is also powerful!If it is true that after the unification of Bungo, as the Xiyuanji family who chose to join the Otomo and Ouchi families in the first place, the Luo family will definitely settle their accounts after the fall.At that time, the Xiyuansi family will fall into the situation of being besieged by several powerful families again. The only difference this time is that the more powerful Luo's family has replaced the original position of the Otomo family.

So why not just choose to join the Luo family?But Xiyuan Temple was a little worried in his heart.

According to the information just now, during this period of time, apart from the fact that the Luo family had collided with the forces of the Ito family and the Otomo family on the coast.He also repeatedly fought fiercely with the forces of the Otomo family on the Beppu Nada Plain in Hayami County, Bungo Country.

During the spring plowing period, it was an unwritten agreement between the famous and powerful families in the Warring States Period not to conquer each other.The Luo family obviously did not abide by this agreement.From the performance of the Luo family, in Xiyuansi Shichong's view, the Luo family is a powerful overlord who may not keep their promises.

Once the Luo family has put down powerful enemies such as the Otomo family, the Ouchi family, and the Ito family, will they be free to deal with the Xiyuanji family's ally?After all, in the view of Saionji Mitsuko, as long as the tyrants in the Bungo region plan to invade the Shikoku region, they will not be able to bypass the Saionji family who are the only way to go.And the Luo family with such a powerful force doesn't have the ambition to invade the Shikoku region?

And just as Saienji was thinking about it, in a courtyard in the castle town of Matsuba Castle, Muzo Shigeta, the envoy of the Luo family to the Shikoku area, was discussing secretly with the accompanying guard general Ari.

"How, did you find it?" Kizo Shigetada asked.

"We found them. But there are many guards in their residence." Ahri, who had just returned, replied.

"I can't wait any longer. My lord has been waiting for me in Kyushu for a long time, and I have to go to other places in Shikoku after that." Kizo Shigetada said.A few days ago, they came to the territory of Xiyuan Temple's family and were received by Xiyuan Temple.

During this period of time, Xiyuan Temple Shichong was also very enthusiastic towards them, but he did not reply to the Luo family's invitation to form an alliance for a long time.Suspicious, Shigetada Muzo spent a lot of money to buy off Shangjia Guangkang, the important minister of the Xiyuan Temple family.Only at this time did I learn that it was the envoys of Otomo's family who arrived at Xiyuan Temple's house earlier than them, and they also sent an invitation to Xiyuan Temple to form an alliance.As an important passage connecting the Shikoku area and Bungo Kingdom of Kyushu, the Saiyuanji family became a favorite for a while, and the governor of the Saiyuanji Temple seemed to be hesitating.

Xiyuan Temple was indeed hesitant, but most of the retainers in the family did not hesitate at all.all the time.They are all struggling to resist the continuous invasion of the Dayou family. Now that the Dayu family is in decline, they plan to recruit them as allies against the Luo family. Naturally, the retainers who had lost many clansmen in the fierce battle would not show good looks to the envoys of Otomo's family.

During this period of time, although the envoys of Otomo's family sent gifts and visited all the retainers of the Xiyuan Temple family, they all received various degrees of neglect.In stark contrast, the envoy of the Luo family who just arrived was warmly welcomed by all the retainers.In the hearts of these retainers, they would rather form an alliance with the Luo family than with the Dayou family.
