Warring States Eagle

Just when Mao Liyuan learned that an unknown navy was approaching rapidly (probably the Luo family's navy), due to the limited number of ships, he had no choice but to decisively cut off his wrists, not only abandoning a large number of Itsukushima localities and Anyiguo localities Some wealthy military forces in China, Beigo, and Bingo country even abandoned their third son Takakage Kobayakawa, and then quickly evacuated Itsukushima by boat overnight.

And just when Maori Moto broke his wrist in Itsukushima of Aki, in the Shimadzu House Council Hall in Satsuma, southern Kyushu, the governor of the Shimadzu family and several important family officials were listening to the news that they had just rushed from Tsushima Island. When I came back, I made a detailed report.

The Shimadzu family paid close attention to every move of the Luo family.Especially when its influence has expanded to South Kyushu, it can be said that every move of the Luo family is likely to affect the development strategy of the Shimadzu family itself.As early as when the Luo family continued to attack the southeastern region of Bungo country and Tsushima Island, Takahisa Shimadzu sent his family's detectives to closely monitor the actions of the Luo family.So when the huge naval force of the Luo family was about to enter Tsushima Island, they suddenly turned around and left. The Shimadzu family hidden in Tsushima Island immediately drove back to Satsuma to report the news.

"It's a good plan to hide the sky and cross the sea. I didn't hesitate to use the family's resources to concentrate forces on Iki Island, which is far away from Itsukushima, and then fought against Tsushima Island for a while, but went straight to its real goal." Ijuin Tadaro lamented. road.

"Itsukushima?" Takahisa Shimadzu's father Tadara Shimadzu on the other side asked doubtfully.

"My lord, haven't you seen it yet? At this time, the Ouchi family and the Mori family are confronting each other near Itsukushima off the coast of Aki. Judging from the information obtained a few days ago, I am afraid that the two families will also be at this stage. It's time to start the war. Although I don't know which family the Luo family will join forces with in this Itsukushima battle, but the target of the Luo family this time will definitely be there." Ijuin Tadaro firmly affirmed.

"Yes. That's right, this is also in line with Hizen Eagle's consistent offensive style." Family Governor Takahisa Shimadzu also agreed.

"Shouldn't the Luo family take advantage of the fact that both the Ouchi family and the Mori family were in a loss, and directly annex the two families?" At this time, the son Yoshihisa Shimadzu who had not spoken all this time suddenly said.

As soon as Shimadzu Yoshihisa's words came out, everyone in the meeting hall fell silent immediately.After a while, Shimadzu Tadayoshi took the lead in saying: "If the Luo family takes advantage of this opportunity to invade the Xiguo area of ​​Honshu, then the Zhou Fangguo, Nagato country, and even the Anyi country of the Xiguo are very likely to fall into the Luo family one by one. hands!"

After hearing the words, everyone nodded in agreement.At the same time, his face became more serious.Having such an increasingly powerful neighbor is definitely not a good thing for the Shimadzu family.Once the Luo family is free, it is estimated that all the powerful people in Southern Kyushu, including the Shimadzu family, will suffer.

"However, if the Luo's family really attacked Yandao this time, it would not be a bad thing for the family!" the family's old Xin Na Zhongyao said.

"Where did you say that?" Shimadzu Takahisa asked immediately.

"My lord, even if the Luo family intends to enter the Western Kingdom, the Ouchi family, the Tao family, and the Maori family who have been running there for several generations are not easy to deal with. According to my subordinates, even if the Luo family got the There are many benefits, and the Ouchi family, the Tao family, and the Maoli family will not be defeated by the Luo family so quickly. At that time, the most likely situation will be that the Luo family will fall into the quagmire of entanglement with these families. The opportunity has come." Xinna Zhongyao explained.

"Hmm! That makes sense!" Shimadzu Tadayoshi agreed immediately after hearing this.

"No. My lord, Lord Zhongyao's analysis is very reasonable, but I think that my family should not wait for the news from the Western Kingdom before making plans, but should attack immediately, and carry out the strategy that my family has been planning to implement last year. Execution, this time even if the Luo family knows about the actions of the family, there is nothing they can do." Ijiin Zhonglang suggested.

"Are you launching an attack on Kita Satsuma?" Shimadzu Takahisa also said to himself after being told by Ijuin Tadaro.Last year, the Shimadzu family was indeed secretly planning to take Kita Satsuma down when the Luo family was fighting fiercely with the remnants of the Ouchi and Otomo families in Kitakyushu.Just when they were about to attack, news came that the Luo family had completely captured Kitakyushu and received a reward from the imperial court shogunate. After deliberation, the Shimadzu family finally abruptly stopped this strategy plan .

"My lord, I can't wait anymore. My family has already missed several opportunities. Seeing that the Luo family's power is getting bigger and bigger, there is no powerful name in the Kyushu area that can independently compete with it. If my family doesn't take the opportunity to grow, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be too late." Annexed by it. Now the Luo family will definitely fall into the quagmire of entanglement in the West Country, and the main family has just secretly formed an alliance with the Ito family, the Saeki family, and even the Mori family. This is a good opportunity for the main family to take advantage of the opportunity to develop." See the island Tsukihisa fell into hesitation in making a decision, and Ijuin Tadaro persuaded again.

The fact that the Shimadzu family missed several opportunities mentioned by Tadaro Ijuin instantly hurt Takahisa Shimadzu's heart.Since inheriting the family governor, with the help of his father Shimadzu Tadayoshi and family members, the Shimadzu family has indeed grown stronger in Southern Kyushu.Takahisa Shimadzu also gained more and more support from everyone in the family.However, Takahisa Shimadzu's wrong decision to the Luo family was the only thing that made everyone in the family dissatisfied.If Takahisa Shimadzu hadn't been too cautious at the beginning and had participated in the encirclement of the Luo family by the Ouchi family and the Otomo family several times, perhaps the Ouchi family would not have declined so quickly, and the Luo family would not have appeared in Xihai. Tao (that is, the whole territory of Kyushu) is in a situation where one family dominates.Even now, Shimadzu Takahisa regrets whenever he thinks about it.

"That's right, my lord, no matter where the Luo's family is going this time, they can't wait any longer. This time is indeed a good opportunity for our family to attack!" Xin Na Zhongyao also echoed at this time.

"Indeed, this time, our family can no longer wait and see. Moreover, our family has reached a joint attack resolution with Chief Wang. Presumably, after learning of the existence of Chief Wang, the Luo family will have some scruples." Father Shimadzu Tadayoshi Also speak out.Now that the old lord spoke in favor, the other important officials of the Shimadzu family in the meeting hall immediately agreed with him.

"If that's the case, then the family will attack immediately." Seeing that everyone in the family agreed to go to Kita Satsuma, Shimadzu Takahisa gritted his teeth and agreed to everyone's request.

"Luo's family, this time I won't just sit on the sidelines obediently. Since there will be a battle sooner or later, let my family attack first." (To be continued...)
