Warring States Eagle

The so-called paper can't contain the fire (even if Zhengliang intends to hide the news of the alliance, Nizi Haruhisa will find ways to announce it. After all, the defense focus of the Ouchi family is on the side of the Nizi family at this time. After the news of the alliance is announced, Ouchi The family may transfer part of the defensive forces on the side of the Nizi family to the border of the Luo family, so as to reduce the pressure on the Nizi family. Of course, Zheng Liang knows the impact of the announcement of the alliance, but everything has two sides. The benefits of being able to attack Ouchi’s family with the Nizi’s family on both sides will inevitably lead to the above results. But Zhengliang has analyzed that as long as his own territory is not affected, and then the outbreak of unfavorable situations will be kept out of the country , then the Luo family will be safe), instead of trying to cover it up, it is better to spread it widely, and in order to put pressure on the big family, so after the Nizi family signed the alliance with the Luo family, they all made a big effort to publicize it.

Shimizu Castle in Satsuma, Kyushu.

"Is this news true?" In the study, Shimadzu Takahisa frowned and asked while looking at the information in his hand.

"The news was released by the Luo family on its own. It is said that the Nizi family in Izumo also released the same news. It must be true. My lord, once the Luo family and the Nizi family form an alliance, the Ouchi family caught between the two will definitely have something to do." React, and the Otomo family who have been waiting for an opportunity to recapture Bungo country will naturally be unwilling to be lonely. At that time, Kitakyushu will inevitably become a mess, and the Luo family in the center of the storm will have no time to take care of others. This is a great opportunity for the family to secretly seize Kita Satsuma. " Yijiyuan Zhonglang said.

"No, don't underestimate Luo Shizhenliang. Since he dared to disclose the news of the alliance, he has made complete preparations. I can't act rashly. But it is still necessary to make full preparations in secret." This time Shimadzu Takashi For a long time, he was very cautious.

As for Luo Shizhenliang, the governor of the Luo family, he has spent a lot of energy on research during this period of time. From his fortune to the present, many actions and battles seem to be on the verge of danger on the surface. If the powerful and famous were in the position where Luo Shizhengliang was, he would definitely not make those choices, but Luo Shizhengliang did it.And in the end, they all won without any risk.What does all this mean?It shows that Masara Roshi must have considered carefully before making a decision, so Takahisa Shimadzu was startled and uncertain about the sudden announcement of the alliance between the Roshi family and the Izumo Niko family this time.

"Is the banquet with Gan Fu's family ready?" After a little thought, Takahisa Shimadzu asked another matter.

"It's ready, but Gan Fu Jianxu seems to have seen the doubts, so he didn't immediately agree to the invitation of my family." Yijiyuan Zhonglang immediately replied.

"In this case, then change the previous arrangement and remove everyone. This time, I just want to have a good drink with this in-law."

"Ah? My lord? But..." Ijuin Taduro was frightened by Shimadzu Takahisa's sudden change of mind.

"You don't need to say too much. You just need to do this..." At this point, Shimadzu Takahisa deliberately lowered his voice a lot. For a while, the study room was filled with the sound of Shimadzu Takahisa and Ijuin Tadaro sounding like mosquitoes.

While Takahisa Shimadzu was secretly discussing with Tadao Ijuin, Kantsu Kanetsu in Takayama Castle of Osumi Country in Southern Kyushu also got the news of the alliance between the Luo family and the Niko family.

"Hahaha, God help me too! Once the Luo family falls into the predicament of Kitakyushu, the wealthy families in the northwest of Osumi Kingdom are naturally worried that the Luo family will not have time to take care of the situation here, so they naturally hope to have more allies. This is a great opportunity for our family to form an alliance with them!" Gan Fu Jianxu looked at the shimmering Gan Chuan in the distance outside the city and said to himself.

"Come here, call my retainers to participate in the evaluation immediately." Thinking of this, Gan Fu Jianxu couldn't wait to set up his grand plan.

Like Ganfu Kanesuke, the father and son Kitago Tadashi and Shimadzu Tadaki of the Kitago family in the southern part of Hyuga Province were also very happy when they heard the news of the alliance between the Luo family and the Niko family.

Although the two planned to form an alliance with the Luo family before, they were worried that because of this, they would lure wolves into the house and let the Luo family take the opportunity to extend their power into the Nanhyuga area, so they hesitated.It is different now. At present, the ruling center of the Luo family is located in the Kitakyushu area. After being entangled in the struggle with the Ouchi family, even if the Luo family intends to invade the Southern Kyushu area, it will be powerless by then. Only a small number of forces can be sent in.This was exactly what the two father and son hoped to see, so they decisively sent envoys to Luo's house.

Compared with the excitement of the father and son of Kitago Tadashi and Shimadzu Tadaki, the powerful families in Kita Satsuma, Kita Osumi, and Nishihyuga who just formed an alliance with the Luo family are not happy.Especially the northern Satsuma nobles who directly bordered the Shimadzu family's territory, they were really worried that the Luo family would not be able to suppress the Shimadzu family because of this, so they immediately sent envoys to Xuefucheng, the home city of the Luo family, to ask to see Zhengliang.What they didn't know was that it was their joint action this time that indirectly caused another thing to happen.

But in Yujuncheng, the capital of Hyuga country, Yoshisuke Ito, who received relevant information from the Luo family, became suspicious.Like Takahisa Shimadzu, he has already fought against Masara Roshi indirectly several times, and he has also done special research on Masara Roche, so he also thinks that the news of the alliance announced by the Roche family decisively this time obviously has a reason. What conspiracy is in it.After thinking of this, he immediately decided to suspend the recent attack on the Kitago family in the southern part of Hyuga after the autumn harvest, and instead strengthened the defense of the border area bordering the Ito family and the Luo family.He planned to see the next move of the Luo family before proceeding with the next plan of the Ito family.

Otomogi Town in Mingyue City, Bungo Country Hayami County.During this period of time, he was overwhelmed by internal affairs.Due to a series of conflicts with the Luo family during spring plowing this year, the autumn harvest in Kunisaki County, Hayami County, and half of Haibu County controlled by the Saeki family was poor.Especially in the Beppu Nada area, which is the main battlefield of the conflict and is also the most grain-producing area in Hayami County, the harvest is actually less than [-]% of previous years.This put Dayou's family on the brink of food shortage.

At the beginning, most of the food, grass and coins of Dayou's family were stored in the warehouse of Neifu City, so with the surrender of Neifu City, almost all of Dayou's family property was copied by Luo's family at once.As for Otomoyi Town, which fled to Mingyue City, it could only rely on the support of the wealthy families in Kunisaki County, most of Sujian County, and half of Haibu County to support the daily operations of Otomo's family.And this time the conflict with the Luo family has more or less affected the autumn harvest of each wealthy family's own territory, so now these wealthy families cannot fully support the Otomo family's main family.

Although Dayouyi Town's leadership, military prowess, and internal affairs capabilities are all good, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.Now he can only use the money and food that the retainers and powerful families brought in for a little support to ensure the normal operation of the family, and at the same time, he sent an envoy to ask for help from the Ouchi family.

Now that he suddenly received news about the alliance between the Luo family and the Nizi family, it was indeed good news for him.At least in the face of the double attack from the Luo family and the Nizi family at the same time, the role of the Ouchi family is even more important.At this time, the Ouchi family had to agree to the Ouchi family's request for money and food.As for whether to take this opportunity to create some trouble for the Luo family?It depends on the rescue situation of Ouchi's family.

The Shikoku region across the sea from Kyushu.The Xitusi family, who had just been forced to form an alliance with the Luo family, also received relevant information, but at this time, Xiyuansi had no time for him.Because the Ono family and the Utsunomiya family, who lived in Iyo country with the Saitoji family, started to move again after the autumn harvest.At this time, he did not ask for help from the Luo family, which was considered a great favor to the Luo family.

And in a courtyard in Nakamura Castle of the Tosa Jojo family adjacent to the Xituji family, Yasomasa Jojo, the new governor of the Yoichi family, is discussing important matters with another important minister of the Jojo family, Doi Zongshan.

"What is Doi-sama's opinion on the envoys' requests from the Luo family and the Otomo family?"

"Hey, although Otomo's family has always been an ally of our family, and the mother of the governor is still the daughter of Otomo Yoshikami, but it has already declined. Obviously, we can't help our family too much. But the Luo family has been very powerful recently. If It is not a good thing for our family to offend him rashly. Now that the envoys of the two families have arrived at our family almost at the same time, it is really hard for both parties to offend."

"Report!" Just as Kang Zheng was about to continue to listen to Tuju Zongshan's opinion, a servant's report came from outside the room.

"What's the matter?"

"Report to the Patriarch, there is an adult outside the mansion who claims to be from the Kyoto family and asks to see him." The servant immediately reported.

"Oh?" Kang Zheng and Tuju Zongshan couldn't help but look at each other after hearing the words, and they suddenly became thoughtful.

As one of the Gosho families (the remaining four are the Konoe family, the Kujo family, the Takashi family, and the Nijo family), the Ijo family is divided into the main family stationed in Kyoto and the branch family rooted in Shikoku Tosa.Ever since Yiyi Fangtong inherited the position of the family governor of the main family, although the two families have always had correspondence, the main family rarely sent people to Tosa. The envoys of Luo's family and Dayou's family arrived at the special moment of Yiyi's family at the same time, which seemed to contain a lot of unspeakable information.Thinking of this, Kang Zheng immediately said:

"Please!" (To be continued...)
