Warring States Eagle

The Luo family's oppression of temples and shrines in its territory and its bloody cleansing policy have long been known to the powerful and famous forces in the Western Kingdom.Temples and shrines such as Yixiangzong, although they did not list the Luo family as enemies of Buddha (foes are not so easy to establish, after all, the strength of temples and shrines in Kyushu is the worst, even if the Luo family is listed as enemies of Buddha , it will only give the Luo family an excuse to attack the temples and shrines, so the local temples and shrines in Kyushu also wisely did not do so), but it also lists the Luo family as an important hostile force.

However, the power of temples and shrines in the Xiguo area is much stronger than that of the temples and shrines in the Kyushu area.Mao Liyuan was determined to incite the local temple and shrine forces in Anyi Kingdom, Zhou Fangguo, and Nagato Kingdom with the various oppression and even purge policies of the Luo family in the past.In the case of their core interests, these temples and shrines will definitely respond.

After taking the opportunity to form an alliance with these temples and shrines, the Maori family could not only use them to guard the territory, but also set off riots in the area occupied by the Luo family in the West Country, and then contain the Luo family.This is indeed a good idea.

Even Mao Liyuan thought of a way to completely discredit the Luo family, and took the opportunity to incite the local powerful families in the Western Kingdom to set off a wave of resistance to the invasion of the Luo family.At this time, following the large-scale invasion of the Luo family in the Western Kingdom, Mao Liyuan had already realized who sent people to spread the rumors that had been spreading around the Western Kingdom to discredit the Maoli family.Since your Luo family is doing the first day of junior high school, then my Maori family will be doing the fifteenth day.Perhaps spreading such rumors in the Luo family's territory in the Kyushu region is useless, but it's hard to say in the West Country region.

Now that I have thought of methods such as spreading rumors and inciting riots.Immediately, Mao Liyuan couldn't help thinking of the previous attempt to contain the Luo family.Avoid the plan to instigate rumors in the Kyushu area deliberately arranged by the Luo family's involvement in the Itsukushima War.Although it was accompanied by the appearance of the Luo family in the First Battle of Itsukushima.This containment plan has lost its effectiveness.But at this time, if it can still be carried out according to the original plan, then it can also play a certain role in restraining the Luo family's strategy of the West Country.Previously, due to the Luo family's plan to blockade the surrounding sea areas of its territory, Mao Liyuan quickly lost contact with the local Kyushu, so until this time, he did not know the situation in Kyushu (the actual situation is that at this time in There was a wave of riots led by temples and shrines in the eastern part of the Chikuzen country, the entire Bungzen country, and the northeastern region of the Bungo country).

"No, it's better to send people into Kyushu again to see how the situation is. If this plan is not started, then this group of new personnel will carry it out." After a little thought, Mao Liyuan finally decided.

Soon after, Mao Liyuan dispatched a group of spies in an attempt to infiltrate the Luo family's territory in the Kyushu region again, launching conspiracies such as spreading rumors and inciting riots.What surprised these people was that when they arrived at the seaside, they found that there was no boat to Kyushu at all.At this time, although the Luo family has lifted the blockade of the Seto Inland Sea, the Luo family's navy is still tightly sealing the coastal areas of the Bingo country, Anyi country, Zhou Fang country, and Nagato country. Said it was a ship.Not even a single plank can be found in coastal areas.And in the case of losing their own navy, these Maori family's secret operations had to stay in the local area (because the Luo family implemented an immigration policy in the local border area that could only enter and not exit. Therefore, these people could not return to Maori quickly for a while. home territory).

In addition to instigating the local temples and shrines in the Western Kingdom and the strategies of the local wealthy clan, Mori Moto also sent envoys to Ishiyama Gobo and Kyoto in Kinki with a large amount of property, asking to witness the above and the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki respectively.

Seeking to see Yixiangzong's Master Zhengru, he naturally hopes that he can issue a decree to resist the tyranny of the Luo family to the local Yixiangzong in the Western Kingdom.In this way, he can easily get the support of local temples and shrines.

As for asking to see the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki, it was naturally for Ashikaga Yoshiki to intervene in the dispute between the Mori family and the Luo family.The newly appointed Ashikaga Yoshiki had not long ago widely posted hero posts, requesting daimyos from all over the world to join King Luoqin, and he was also very keen to use diplomatic means to mediate conflicts between daimyos from various places, so as to show the prestige of his shogunate.This time, after receiving the request from the Maori family, they will definitely send someone to mediate.And since the Luo family has always advertised themselves as loyal ministers loyal to the shogunate and the imperial family, it is naturally difficult to refuse the general's mediation this time, otherwise they will not only hold their mouths against themselves, but also have a bad relationship with the shogunate and the court.

Just as Mao Liyuan was planning how to contain Luo's family, Zheng Liang, who was in Zhou Fangguo, received three letters.

The first letter was sent by Kato Duanzo, who was in charge of hunting down Mao Limoto and others.It reported to Zheng Liang in detail the situation in the process of hunting down Mao Liyuan and others.When mentioning the whereabouts of Mori Moto, Kato Duanzang mentioned in the letter that he had discovered the traces of Mori Moto and others several times, but they were all escaped by the other party in the end.

After reading Kato Danzo's letter, Zhengliang smiled wryly.The so-called time is fate, it seems that God is not willing to let Mao Liyuan die so quickly, so he let him live.Anyway, judging from the recent response of the Maori family and the sudden rise in resistance morale, Maoriyuan must have returned to his own territory.And presumably Kato Danzo himself guessed such a conclusion from these signs, so there was such a letter to report to Zhengliang, but it was actually an indirect request to Zhengliang to stop the pursuit of Mori Motojo.

Immediately, Masaragi wrote a reply letter to Kato Danzo in person. While encouraging Kato Danzo, he also ordered him not to focus on Motozuru's pursuit of Mori Motozuru. The Maori family retainers and samurai in the occupied area were searched out, and they tried their best to reduce the vitality of the Maori family.

After replying to Danzo Kato's letter, Masara picked up the second letter.From the handwriting on the cover of the envelope, it can be known that this is a letter written by his wife, Ju Ji.In addition to this letter this time, Zheng Liang has actually received several letters from several of his women in the past period of time.

The contents of the letters are almost the same, which is to implore Masara to send Tangwangmaru and Mihime, who are participating in the anti-rebellion campaign in Chikuzen, Buzen, and Bungo, back to Xuefu City.

As early as when Tang Wangmaru, Mihime and Nohime, the two troublemakers, jointly set out to suppress the rebellion, Black Eagle, who had been secretly protecting these people, hurriedly informed Zhengliang of the situation.So before receiving the request from several of his women, Zheng Liang knew the situation of his eldest daughter and eldest son.Even during Zhou Fangguo's battle, Zheng Liang continued to pay attention to their every move, and Zheng Liang knew all about the achievements they made in the process.

The so-called young eagles always have to face the wind and rain alone, and this counter-insurgency operation is a good opportunity to train them. Zheng Liang is very supportive of this.However, it can't encourage them to make their own decisions and be lawless. Therefore, after the end of the Western Raiders, Zheng Liang will go back and punish them in addition to rewarding their achievements in the process of countering the rebellion.Especially for the two troublemakers, Meiji and Noonghime, this time they must not be taken lightly.Sooner or later, he will cause bigger things to come out.

As for his wives and concubines, Zheng Liang understood the anxiety of Meiji, Tang Wangmaru and others. After all, these people in the battle had their children and friends, so it was impossible not to worry.But the so-called loving mother loses her children, Zong can't always let them stay in the greenhouse.Therefore, every time Zheng Liang received a letter from his own women, he gritted his teeth and refused to read it. Otherwise, under the pleas of these women, Zheng Liang himself would not be soft-hearted because of this.

Of course, there is also a reason why Zhengliang was so relieved to allow his children and others to participate in this pacification expedition. (To be continued..)
