Warring States Eagle

When Lengquan Longfeng and other Ouchi family retainers brought Ouchi Yoshitaka's last blood, blood books, monograms and other things in batches to Kyushu to seek refuge with the Luo family, Masarai had already begun to hold a meeting in Tachibana Mountain Castle in the Chikuzen Kingdom We had evaluation meeting before going out to Chikuzen country eastern district.

As early as a month ago, when receiving information from the Luo family's detectives lurking in the territory of Zhou Fangguo's Tao family about the secret mobilization of farmers and soldiers in the territory of the Tao family, in order to receive information from the Ouchi family faster Information, and timely response, Zhengliang has already arrived in Tachibana Mountain City.

This time, in order to convey the information of Tao Longfang's rebellion in time, more than a dozen investigators of the Luo family who were in charge of delivering the information were directly involved.This is also unavoidable. After all, it is not allowed to ride a horse in the territory of the hostile force, so the detective responsible for delivering the information can only run with his legs.And when they arrived at the beach, in order to speed up the boat, the intelligence personnel who rowed the boat were already exhausted when they arrived at the pick-up point in the waters near Tachibanayama Castle.

After receiving the news that Tao Longfang had marched to the Ouchi Pavilion in Yamaguchi, Zhengliang immediately issued an order to summon his retainers.And when the news of Ouchi Yoshitaka's killing came, all the retainers happened to be there.Of course, in order to catch up with this meeting, people such as Masao Kinoshita and Tomohisa Oishi from Bungo Kingdom rushed here almost overnight.

The location of the assessment meeting was chosen at the residence of Yoshida Shigemasa, the acting lord of Tachibanayama Castle. It is a standard Japanese-style courtyard surrounded by cherry trees.

This time, Zhengliang was still in armor, dressed in a very formal military general's attire, and sat on the stacked mat (that is, tatami) in the middle of the room.Two surnames, Esatoguchi Nobutsuji and Shimadzu Yoshihiro, stood behind him.One of them holds his tachi Onikiri in one hand.One of them is holding his Nanban head pocket.

Due to the limited space in the house, the important officials in the family and the heads of various teams will sit on the rush mats, with their knees together and their hips on the heels.Other retainers, such as the lieutenants of various teams, could only kneel and sit outside the courtyard with a small cushion under them.The sliding doors and partitions around the room have been removed, leaving only four pillars.This rather open design is to facilitate the generals in the courtyard to hear and see all the procedures of the indoor military discussion.

After all the retainers sat down, Zhengliang immediately said: "Everyone, just received the information from Zhou Fangguo that Ouchi Dazai Daierei Xiguo Tanti Yilong was rebelled by Tao Longfang and has been killed. As We must avenge his subordinates." Zhengliang said this with righteous words, as if he was really a good subordinate of Ouchi Yoshitaka as the chief minister.

"Bring people in." After Yi Zheng said something, Zheng Liang said to Fei Duan who was guarding the gate of the courtyard.The latter immediately turned around and went out.Not long after, a young man of eighteen or nineteen was brought in.The young man was obviously very scared at this time, even if he was brought in front of Zheng Liang.Feet are still shaking.

"This is Ouchi Yoshinaga, the adopted son of Ouchi Dazai Ouchi Nishikuni Yoshitaka-sama, and at his request, he decided to join the Ouchi family to kill the sinner of Ouchi Dazai Ouchi Nishikoku Tanti Yoshitaka-sama Tao Longfang was captured, and he avenged Lord Yoshitaka for Ouchi Dazai and Ouchi Daeri Xiguo Tanti." Zheng Liang said solemnly to the crowd.

"Please Dazai Shaoer repair the doctor to uphold justice for the villain and avenge the villain's father!" At this time, Ouchi Yoshinaga (also known as Otomo Haruki) also knelt down on the ground and cried.Everyone saw that his whole body trembled, as if they were really overwhelmed by the sudden news of the death of his adoptive father Ouchi Yoshitaka.Hey, what a pity!

But everyone was wrong. In fact, Otomo Qingying was trembling because of fear.When the Luo family occupied the Bungo National Palace, he also became a prisoner of the Luo family, and then he was sent to Hizen Kuno Takayama and placed under house arrest.On Yegao Mountain, he studied Buddhism with some monks every day, and then occasionally went to the farm next to Zhongxiao Temple to raise pigs and feed chickens, and his life was quite ordinary.Later, when he learned that his stepmother, her son and daughter, and his two younger sisters had all settled down in the castle town of Xuefu City, and that they were being taken care of by the Luo family, he felt more at ease, and even Already fully adapted to this kind of life.

But fate played a joke on him again. At this time, Tao Longfang's rebellion gave Zhengliang the opportunity to enter the eastern part of the Chikuzen country and even the Buzen region.And Otomo Qingying, who had been the adopted son of Ouchi Yoshitaka, naturally became the signboard of righteousness for Zhengliang to send troops.So Otomo Qingying, who had just adapted to a peaceful life, was sent by Zheng Liang to Tachibana Mountain City, and then was taught the words just now, and finally there was the scene just now.But even so, he was still terrified in his heart, and he felt helpless, especially when facing Luo Shi Zhengliang, the governor of the Luo family, he always felt frightened for no reason.

Different from Otomo Qingying's mood at this time, the eyes of the retainers below looked at Zhengliang full of admiration.The lord of my family is really too powerful. He even predicted that the civil strife in Da Nei's family would intensify a few months ago, so he has already made relevant preparations, and now he has found such a righteous big brother flag.This time, the Luo family's attack on the eastern part of the Chikuzen country will definitely be successful immediately.

"Go down and rest, don't worry, your father will definitely avenge you." Zheng Liang said sadly.After the banner was finished, he was naturally asked to go down to rest.

After Otomo Qingying was helped down, Zheng Liang's expression straightened immediately, and he said solemnly: "I'll listen to the order!"

After hearing this, the people below immediately straightened their backs, sat up straight, looked at Zheng Liang intently, and waited for Zheng Liang to issue an order.

"The first standing ashigaru team, after the main family went to the eastern part of the Chikuzen country, continued to guard the Hinaki Castle in Hita County of the Bungo Kingdom, the mountain pass in Yufu Mountain, and the Hiborn Castle in Kuzu County, guarding against the other side of the mountain. The change of the rich families in the Buzen country. Once the rich families in the Buzen country go to support the Chikuzen country, they will immediately march to the border of the Buzen country, forcing them to be unable to support the Chikuzen country."

"Yes!" Masao Kinoshita, the commander of the first standing ashigaru team who was ordered, immediately accepted the order.

"The second standing ashigaru squad, you will be the main force for this battle. Immediately after the meeting, gather troops outside the city and be ready to march to the territory of the Munakata family at any time."

"Yes!" Yoshida Shigemasa, the leader of the second standing Ashgaru team, and his lieutenants Takeuchi Hisamori, Jindai Shengli, Ueda Shinji, Kuroki Miren, and Roshi Masamune shouted at the same time.After recuperating for so long, they finally had a battle to fight, and they were very excited.

"The third standing Ashgaru squad. After leaving some recruited farmers and soldiers to guard the border with the Akizuki family, you immediately gather and rush to Hakata Port. The navy of the main family has been waiting there for a long time. Naturally, there will be a task for you at that time. "

"Yes!" The leader of the third standing ashigaru team, Akuta, and his lieutenant, Asakura Sodi, commanded loudly.

"The fourth standing ashigaru team. Continue to strictly guard the Oita County of Bungo Country and the Takasaki Mountain Castle, Funaikan, and Tsurumaki Castle in Haibu County on the coast of Beppu Bay, and guard against the Otomoya Hayami County and Kunisaki County in the north of Bungo Country. The military power of the Hao family and the safety of the coast of Beppu Bay. In view of the civil strife in the Ouchi family this time, the Otomo family may have changed. Once they are found to be in the Bungzen country, they will immediately go to the Beppu area to delay their departure. Time." At this time, Otomogi Town may take advantage of the civil strife in the Ouchi family to invade the Bungzen Kingdom, or it may go out to assist the Bungzen Kingdom or even the eastern part of the Chikuzen Kingdom. Zhengliang didn't want to see it, so he had to prevent Dayou's family from coming out.

"The Intelligence Cabinet immediately spread rumors that Ouchi Yoshitaka was murdered in a rebellion in the eastern part of the Chikuzen Kingdom and Buzen Kingdom, creating chaos in these areas. The Cabinet of Ministers is ready to immediately take over the internal affairs of the newly occupied areas at any time. Prepare."

"Yes!" Yamamoto Kansuke and Togo Heiji said at the same time.

"The Cloakers, the two cavalry squadrons, and the iron cannon squadron will follow me."

"Oh!"

There was a loud howling sound like a wolf in Lihuashan City. (To be continued..)
