Warring States Eagle

After being forced to hand over half of Ochi County to the Luo family in order to obtain the Luo family's promise of a truce, Kono Tongzhi obviously will not be reconciled.Therefore, in addition to sending important officials in his family to invite the Ono family and the Utsunomiya family in the central area of ​​Yiyu country to jointly resist the invasion of the Luo family, he also secretly sent people from the eastern part of Yiyu country to Miyoshi in Sanqi country through the Suitan coast. family and the Maori family of Bingo Country.

As for the Maori family, since they are already allies of the Kono family, Kono Tongzhi naturally hopes to get the assistance of the Maori family to jointly deal with the Luo family.As for the Miyoshi family, Kono Matsunao is preparing to establish diplomatic relations with them, and it would be best to be an ally, so that he can use the recently rising powerful daimyo Miyoshi family to deal with the Luo family.Of course, he is also afraid of attracting wolves into the house because of this (historically, the Kono family was indeed invaded by the Miyoshi family), so he must be extremely vigilant against the Miyoshi family.

Just when Kono Tongzhi was secretly preparing to unite various forces to resist the invasion of the Luo family, Xitusi Shichong, the governor of the Xitusi family in Yiyu Kingdom, also looked worried at this time.

Earlier, when the Luo family started to attack the territory of the Ouchi family and invaded the Kono family in the northern part of the Yiyu Kingdom after the end of the Battle of Itsukushima, they had asked the Xituji family to send troops to face the territory of the central part of the Kono family from the south. To achieve the purpose of containing the Kono family.Regarding the Luo family's request, after receiving the money and food from the Luo family, Xitusi Shichong did indeed send troops into the Kono family's territory in the central part of the Yiyu Kingdom to make trouble, but overall it was thunderous and rainy. Small, the Luo family naturally has an opinion on this.In the end, an envoy was even sent to remind him.

To this.Xitusi Shichong had no choice but to analyze and deal with it as much as possible.But secretly.Xituji Shishou still ordered his family's army to show off. After all, if the Xituji family's army wants to enter the territory of the Kono family, it will actually pass through the territories of the Ono family and the Utsunomiya family. In the past few years, there have been endless conflicts with the Xituji family, especially the Utsunomiya family. Saiyuanji Gonggao, the son of Xituji, died in the hands of this family, and many relatives of this family died in Xituji. In the hands of the army, the two families can be said to be endless enemies.

In this situation.If the Utsunomiya family and the Ono family join forces to block the Xituji family's advance into the Kono family's territory, then the Xituji family's army will suffer.If something goes wrong, Xitu Si Shichong really doesn't know who to cry to.

In addition, the Tosa country’s Ichijo family, located to the south of the Xituji family, not only has been trying to infect the territory of the Xituji family in Guiyu, but also is an ally with the Xituji family’s deadly rival, the Utsunomiya family. Under such circumstances, Xituji really Chong naturally became more cautious.But now Xitu Temple has received news again that the Luo family has basically completed the strategy in the Xiguo area.In fact, this rumor was spread by Zhengliang on purpose, after all, it continued to spread from the mouths of some samurai farmers who escaped from the Battle of Itsukushima.The surrounding forces will sooner or later know the situation in the West Country at this time, in order to prevent these forces from rushing towards them like hungry wolves who smell blood.Zheng Liang simply sent people to spread rumors that the Luo family had completely conquered the territory of the Xiguo Da Nei family, so that the surrounding forces would not dare to make any changes.

With the spread of this news, Xi Tuji was naturally disturbed after learning about it. After all, he really did a very dishonest action against the Kono family this time.At this time, the Xituji family had to rely on the support of the Luo family to safely face the Utsunomiya family, the Ono family in the north, and the Yiyi family in the south.If the Luo family blamed the Xitusi family for this, or even abandoned the covenant and fought against the Xitusi family, then the situation of the Xitusi family would be in danger.

Faced with such a situation, Xitu Temple acted as if it had immediately recruited several important officials from the family to discuss together.

"My lord, if that's the case, then let me personally bring the valuable gift, and use the excuse of congratulating the Luo family's victory in the Western Kingdom, to go to the Luo family to test it out." Qingzong said.

"Then I will leave everything to you, Qingzong." Xitu Si acted as if he had agreed to Dou Qingzong's request.

So with the entrustment of his lord Xituji Shijo, Doi Qingzong went to Yamaguchi Castle in Zhoufang, Xiguo, and asked to see Zhengliang there. As soon as they met, Doi Qingzong pleaded guilty to Zhengliang on behalf of Xituji Shijo and the Xituji family. road:

"The foreign minister begs Yagata-sama to forgive the previous negligence of the family, and the foreign minister is willing to apologize with death."

"Hehe, your Excellency has filtered it. I understand the situation of Major General Zuo (the official position of Xiyuan Temple). It is very rare to be able to contain part of the Kono family's army under such circumstances." Zhengliang said He seemed to be quite tolerant and said with a smile, while secretly muttering in his heart, the old guy in front of him is indeed a bit cunning, he actually blocked his chance to blame him from the beginning, took the initiative to bear the guilt, and even forced him to die, if he If this old guy really dies, it will affect the relationship between the Luo family and the Xitusi family, and then affect Zhengliang's next plan.However, even so, Zhengliang did not intend to let the Xitusi family go, so he continued:

"Since Major General Zuo is so willing to share the pressure for the family, I also have a letter here, please pass it on to Major General Zuo on your behalf. In addition, I heard that you have a grandson in your family who is very smart, and I intend to accept him as a family name , I don't know what you think?"

Tuju Qingzong, who was kneeling on the ground, was slightly taken aback after hearing the words, and then secretly smiled bitterly. It seems that the price that should be paid still has to be paid.But at least from the words of the young overlord in front of him, it can be clearly known that this time the Xitusi family escaped a disaster, but what was described in the secret letter to be handed over to the lord Xitusi Shichong is probably absolutely impossible. It's not a good thing, but I will know everything after I go back and let the lord open it and check it.

The only thing that made him feel a little bit embarrassed was the request about his grandson.First of all, what the overlord in front of him said about "one grandson" is completely false, because so far, he has only one grandson in Tuju Qingzong.Moreover, this grandson is only ten years old this year, but he has already been named Doi Qingliang.Obviously, this overlord seems to be very aware of the situation of his family members.From this sentence, it can also be known that the overlord obviously intends to appoint his grandson, and told himself that he is very aware of the situation in his family and does not allow subcontracting.
