Warring States Eagle

The Battle of Itsukushima also had a profound impact on the Kono family.

First of all, as an ally of the Mori family, at the invitation of Motozuru Mori, the Kono family sent almost all of their navy to support the Mori family in this war. Not even a single plank floated back to Kono's house.

What's more serious is that the Luo family's naval forces took advantage of the victory to move around, not only annexing the three naval forces of the Yindao Murakami family, the Nengdao Murakami family, and the Laidao Murakami family in the waters near northern Yiyu, but also took advantage of the trend to take advantage of the current situation. Yegang, Gaoxian Mountain City and Kokubun Mountain City were all attacked and captured.So far, the Luo family has not only completely controlled the Seto Inland Sea at once, and the navy forces have infiltrated the Suitan sea area, but also obtained the entire Noma County and half of Ochi County of the Northern Yiyu Kingdom.What makes Kono Tongzhi feel depressed is that this half county is the territory of the Kono family.

Just when Kono Tongzhi was depressed, the Luo family's navy attacked again, and within a very short period of time, Yiyutan (the sea area to the west of Yiyu Kingdom, which is connected to the Seto Inland Sea in the north and Bungo Channel in the south) was seized. After here, the Luo family turned the entire sea area surrounding Kyushu, Xiguo, and Shikoku into the inland sea of ​​the Luo family) The ships on it and the shipbuilding docks along the coast were either robbed or destroyed, while in Yiyu Beach, basically Above all, the navy of the Kono family is the main one.So, this time, the Kono family suffered again.Seeing this, the Kono family felt like crying without tears.Kono Tongzhi really doesn't know where the Kono family offended the Luo family. Even if they sent their own navy to support the Mori family in the Itsukushima War, it was the navy that went to attack the Ouchi family, let alone your Luo family. In the end, even a piece of wood from the Kono family's navy was not spared.In this way, the main force of the Kono family's navy was wiped out by the Luo family.Now the Luo family is here again to kill them all.It directly caused the Kono family to lose all water boats and facilities.

You know, the Kono family's territory is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Isn't your Luo family cutting off the Kono family's fortune?Kono Tongzhi really didn't know what kind of bad luck he had in his life.The Luo family, aren't you a bully?In desperation, Kono Tongzhi had no choice but to dispatch the army to the border, and at the same time send envoys to the Luo Shijiashui military camp in Jinye Port to seek peace and a truce.

But this time Kono Tongzhi finally knew why he was always bullied by the Luo family, because the envoy who went there to seek peace found that the head general of the Luo family in the Yiyu area at this time turned out to be Hu Natong.

Who is it?He was the direct son of Kuna Tongcheng, the fierce general of the Kono family's navy back then. Because the nobles of the Kono family took advantage of his father's death, he secretly joined forces with Kuna Tongcheng's second brother to rob his family's interests.And supported his younger brother to obtain the position of the governor of his family, and as the lord, Kono Tongzhi ignored Kunatong's mother and child, and finally led Kunatong to take his mother and sister out of the territory by their second brother. Embarked on a wandering journey.Kono Tongzhi really didn't expect that this little guy who he looked down on back then would grow up to be the general of the Luo family's navy today, and because he had accepted bribes from his younger brother back then, he secretly supported his younger brother to inherit the Kuna family. It is estimated that Hu Natong has always held a grudge against the position of the governor of the family, so this time he deliberately targeted the Luo family.

Actually.This is just because Kono Tongzhi became a frightened bird and thought too much.Everything Kunato had done before was in accordance with Zheng Liang's orders.Since the entire sea area surrounding Kyushu, West Country, and Shikoku is to be turned into the Luo family's inland sea, it is natural to go all out to attack the forces around this sea area, especially their sea power. Zhengliang only allows the Luo family to monopolize the sea area. The emergence of maritime forces that could threaten the safety of the Luo family in this sea area is absolutely not allowed.Of course, in the process of executing Zheng Liang, Zheng Liang also allowed his subordinates to take revenge after fulfilling his orders. After all, this was the promise Zheng Liang had made when he recruited these generals.

After learning that the leader of the Luo family was Kunatong, the Kono family really panicked. This panic was even worse than facing the previous series of intrusions of the Luo family, because at the beginning, the Kono family was at risk. Among those who had more or less participated in the murder of Kuna Tongzhuo, the one most afraid of was Kuna Tonggong's younger brother, who robbed Huna Tonggong of the position of family governor.

Of course, before that, Huna Tonggong had already received revenge from his elder brother Huna Tong, because the main territory of the Huna family in Yiyu Kingdom was the seven islands of Huna in Yiyu Beach, including Huna on the main island. Taishan City, the home city of the successive generations of family governors, had all fallen under the control of the Luo family's navy before, and suddenly Natonggong only had a small piece of territory on the main island of Shikoku left, and this territory was still in Yiyu. Along the beach, it is possible to be harassed by the Luo family's navy at any time.

The reason why Kuna Tonggong was terrified was not only that his brother had become a big man who could threaten him, but also because he was worried that the daimyo Kono Tongzhi would give himself to his brother in order to cease the war with the Luo family.

Indeed, just as Kuna Tonggong had expected, not long after, Kono Tongzhi and the other powerful families actually sent him out as one of the conditions for requesting a peace and truce in order to cease war with the Luo family.

After receiving the Kono family's request for a truce, Kunatsu sent someone to report the situation to the lord Masara who was in charge of receiving the Ouchi family's territory in the Yamaguchi area of ​​​​Shoufang.After Zhengliang understood the situation, he immediately wrote a written statement and ordered someone to bring it to Hu Natong.

After reading the lord Masarai's pleadings, Kuna closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then immediately found the messenger from the Kono family who had been waiting for a reply, and said:

"If you want a truce, please hand over the remaining half of Ochi County."

"My lord, this is really too difficult for my family. Besides, my family can send the Kuna Tong that displeased my lord back then to my lord, and please forgive my lord." The messenger of the Kono family was frightened immediately With a jump, he begged immediately.You know, it is humiliating enough to send one's own general out in order to ask the invading party to cease fighting. Now that he wants to cede land for peace, the envoy can only be prepared to go back and be beheaded by his lord to vent his anger.

"Hmph, it's fine if you don't want to hand it over. As for the result, it's up to you. That villain, let him live on with the little land left." Facing the envoy of He Ye's family, Request, after Hu Natong gave such a reply, he ordered people to drive the envoy out of the Luo family's camp.
