Warring States Eagle

On the tenth day of January in the 19th year of Tianwen ([-]), only a few days after Maori Moto took decisive action against the rumors and attacks on the territory, Masara was in Hizen Guoxuefu City, Kyushu, and received Kato Danzang from Honshu. The results of the attack sent back by An Yiguo and the subsequent strategies adopted by the Maori family.

"Are you going to be able to handle it this way?" Zheng Liang said with a smile after reading the information.Although Mao Liyuan was a strategist, he did not come from later generations like Zheng Liang. He hadn't realized how powerful the tool of public opinion was (later, as Mao Liyuan became more sophisticated, he used this tool to make Nizi Qing a long time ago. One hand), so Zheng Liang decided to let Mao Liyuan see the true power of public opinion as a tool of war in advance.

In the past, due to blindly believing in historical records and concentrating too much on Kyushu, Zheng Liang ignored the powerful enemy of the Mori family. The alarm bell in Zhengliang's heart.Although the territory of the Luo family has not yet bordered on the Maori family, Zhengliang decided that he must try his best to curb the development of the Maori family in the future.So he immediately wrote down several orders, and then sent someone to rush to Kato Danzo who was still on standby in Ayi Country.

In late January, half a month after the emergency measures were implemented in the territory, the rumors about the Maori family were finally curbed to a certain extent, but it was still difficult to extinguish.In comparison, the rumors outside the territory of the Maori family became more and more intense, and there were new rumors.

These newly added content mainly bluntly stated that the Maori family's previous high-profile claims of being framed and rumors were false, and they were all hypocritical.The Maori family pointed out that the evidence of the attack on the two sons of the former governor Maori Moto (the Maori family used this to prove that the rumors circulating in various places were deliberately framed) was only used by the Maori family after they realized that the matter had been exposed. It's just a bitter trick.Now, in order to cover up their crimes, the Maori family is constantly hunting down innocent people in the territory and killing them.Even borders were sealed off.These behaviors once again reflect the guilty conscience of the Maori family.

The rumors were right.That is, Mao Liyuan really planned to use the attack on his two sons to play a tragic card, so as to win the trust of the leaders, retainers and wealthy families, and more importantly, to win the trust of Ouchi Yoshitaka.Just because of this rumor, the effect of the sad card has dropped a lot.

In the lord's mansion of Tianshan City, Anyi Guoji County, Mao Liyuan threw the flower-cutting tools in his hand aside a little anxiously.At his feet are freshly cut flowers called qiqicao.In the past, when he was restless, Mao Liyuan's favorite thing to do was to play with the flowers and plants in this yard, but today the messy cut autumn grasses are trembling at this moment, looking a little desolate.

Although the rumors in the territory have been contained to a certain extent.But the rumors about the Maori family outside the territory, especially in Zhou Fang's country, became more and more intense.The situation is getting worse and worse for Maori.According to the information sent back from the Zhou Fanguo University Inner Hall by our investigators, many retainers of the Ouchi Family have already advised Ouchi Yoshitaka to summon him to the Ouchi Hall to analyze the rumors.The most active among them is Tao Longfang.

Thinking of this, Mao Liyuan couldn't help but sneered in his heart.Fortunately, the Tao family, located on the border between Zhou Fangguo and Anyiguo, came to visit immediately after the incident.The visit is false, but it is true to come to confirm whether there has been an attack.What makes Mao Liyuan even more angry is that Tao Longfang and his injured second son Yoshikawa Yuanchun are still sworn brothers, and even sent someone to confirm Yoshikawa Yuanchun's injury. In and down the stone got up.

Mao Liyuan knew that, in fact, it was the sentence in the rumors about Ouchi Yoshiko that he must pay close attention to the last words of the Mao family that made Tao Longfang vigilant.Can become the lord of a wealthy family.Moreover, they became retainers of the Ouchi family, and many of them were not fools.This naturally includes Tao Longfang.When the rumors about the Maori family first spread, Tao Longfang naturally didn't pay much attention to it, but after being reminded by the retainers who were secretly bought by the Luo family, he finally paid attention.

After some scrutiny, he found that many things in the rumors did not seem to be false, and he even participated in some of them.This made him suspicious of other rumors that he didn't know about, and after seeing the last words of Yoshin Ouchi, he became completely vigilant.Even though these rumors are clearly trying to drive a wedge between the internal unity of the big family, the Maori family has to control it.So recently he has joined forces with other retainers to advise Ouchi Yoshitaka many times, hoping to restrain and monitor the Maori family.

What only made Tao Longfang angry was that Ouchi Yoshitaka was keen to study Kyoto's Liange and Waka with those downcast officials who settled there in the castle town at this time, and he was noncommittal about the advice of Tao Longfang and others , no result has been given.What made Tao Longfang even more angry was that, as his deadly enemy, Sagara Taketoshi really sang against him again. In turn, he advised Ouchi Yoshitaka, saying that at this time there was Nizi's house in the northeast of the main house, and the Nizi's house in the southwest. There is the Luo family, and the enemies of the two big families have formed an alliance at this time. Their common purpose of targeting the big family is too obvious. At this time, the unity of the family should be maintained as much as possible.All in all, it is to be safe from the inside and guard against the outside.Of course, Sagara Taketoshi's conclusion is not deliberately opposed to Tao Longfang, he is just giving Ouchi Yoshitaka a suggestion based on the current situation that the Ouchi family is facing.

But Tao Longfang didn't think so. It can be said that Taketo Sagara's thesis almost made him angry, and he almost cut him off with a sword.This villain is really abominable. Not long ago, this villain blatantly invaded his Tao family's territory in Zhoufang.Regarding this matter, as the governor of the family, Ouchi Yoshitaka not only failed to get justice for the Tao family, but even took the initiative to act as a mediator, intending to let Sagara Takeshi's adopted daughter marry Tao Longfang, in order to mediate the relationship between the two. contradiction.

But Tao Longfang ran away decisively after learning the news.What foster daughter?Pooh, even if that villain's own daughter (the only daughter Sagara Risa of the right age is already married to Masara), or even if he gave me his woman, I would despise him.This is simply an insult to my Wu Family.The lord is just too partial.Not only did he not uphold justice for my Tao family.He even insulted himself by marrying a daughter.In exchange for that villain's family's legitimacy for occupying the Tao family's territory (as a dowry).Tao Longfang naturally would not agree.

So Tao Longfang not only rejected Ouchi Yoshitaka's kindness, but even sent troops to forcibly take back the original Tao family territory occupied by the Sagara Taketomi family.Wuren Xiangliang also knew that he was wrong about this matter, so after learning that the territory was taken back by Tao Longfang himself, he didn't dare to say anything.

Although Tao Longfang snatched the territory back, he was still brooding over the humiliation of being robbed of the territory, and kept his anger hidden in his heart.Now Taketo Sagara is against him again regarding the Mori family, and Yoshitaka Ouchi seems to have listened to this villain's suggestion again, and the anger in his heart has skyrocketed several times.In a fit of anger, he simply left in a rage.Such a message was sent back to the Maori family.But it was a good thing.

In Tianshan City, Anyi Guoji County, Mao Liyuan was staring at the flowers and plants in the yard in a daze. These flowers and plants that could calm him down in the past seemed to have no effect at this time.He blamed himself a little. He blamed himself for only monitoring the retainers and wealthy families, but lacked sufficient monitoring of the general territory situation. If these rumors were discovered earlier, they might be able to extinguish them in time.Even if it is extinguished now, if you want to restore the previous situation, it will take at least one or two years of internal renovation.The skeptical attitude of the leaders, wealthy families, and retainers towards the Maori family will be completely weakened, otherwise there will be instability within the territory.

For rumors outside the territory.At this time, even Mao Liyuan is completely helpless, but for the big family, the Mao Li family must also express something, otherwise the Mao Li family will really fall into a disadvantageous situation.As for the so-called "expression", Mao Liyuan already had a conclusion in his heart, but Mao Liyuan was a little bit undecided.

In addition, he once again felt the strength of the forces that framed the Maori family this time, and even misled the tragic card he planned to use into a bitter show, completely putting the Maori family into a disadvantageous situation.This approach reminded him of the rumors about Misaku Kuni Takeuchi's family two or three months ago.

At that time, after learning that Takeuchi Hisamori failed to assassinate Luo Shi Masara and was "killed", Mori Moto immediately prepared to secretly kill Takeuchi Hisamori's family members and clan members secretly.After all, it was he who forced Takeuchi Hisamori to assassinate Roshi Masara, which resulted in Takeuchi Hisamori's failed assassination and being killed.The Takeuchi Hisamori clan who learned the truth will definitely hate the Maori family, so in order to avoid future misfortunes, it is best to simply cut the weeds and root them out.

But just when he was about to assassinate the assassin, a rumor suddenly sprang up in Anyi country, Beigo country, Bigo country, Misaku country and other places. This rumor was naturally about Mori Moto forcing Takeuchi Hisamori to go to Kyushu to assassinate Masara Roshi and Rumor that promised to guarantee the lives of Takeuchi Hisamori clan.Although Mao Liyuan tried his best to clarify, in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, Mao Liyuan finally had to give up his plan to secretly kill the Takeuchi Hisamori clan, and instead settled them in a remote territory of Anyi Kingdom. Watched up.Wait until a few years later, when people gradually forget about this matter, and then kill all of their clan.

Regarding this rumor at the beginning, Mori Moto thought that Takeuchi Hisamori used some hidden power in his hands after going to Kyushu and before assassinating Roshi Masara.Now that I think about it, that doesn't seem to be the case.Judging from the situation of this rumor, the method is so similar to the method of the previous rumor.After being sent to Kyushu, there was only one person who could contact Takeuchi Hisamori and obtain relevant information through interrogation.

"Could it be him?" Mao Liyuan suddenly thought of that cunning and despicable eagle.

"Father." Just when Mao Liyuan deduced from the recent rumors that the mastermind behind the scenes might be Kyushu Eagle Roshi Masahiro, his son Mori Takamoto hurriedly came to report the urgent news.

"Taro, what's the matter?"

"Father, this is the news just sent back from Zhou Fang." After Maori Takamoto came to Mao Liyuan and saluted, he immediately handed an opened letter to Mao Liyuan.Mori Takamoto, who had inherited the position of family governor last year, naturally had the right to check the information in advance, although at this time the power of the Mori family was still in the hands of Mori Motozuru.

Let Mori Takamoto be the governor of the family, and Mori Moto will retreat behind the scenes to take power. This move is also decided by Mori Yuan to reduce the wariness of the Ouchi family towards the Mori family. It is much better for the son-in-law to control the Maori family than for Maori Yuan to control the Mao family.This move eventually won the support of the Ouchi family for the Maori family's strategy in Bingo, China, and even the United States.It's just that Mao Liyuan didn't expect that the painstaking arrangement at the beginning would eventually be in vain because of this rumor incident. What is a little gratifying is that at least during this period of time, the Mao Li family has extended their influence We have arrived in Bingo Country, Beigo China, and America.It's just that whether the territories in these areas will be divided by the big family will depend on the situation.
