"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Sun Liu stood on the high oars and shouted a warning.

"Damn! What a fuss! "Whoa... Yingwa Jiuhu stepped on the lookout, today he is on duty, he is a retainer of the Shimazu family, participated in the Battle of Ogawa, attacked Minamata, destroyed the Sagara family and other battles, and repeatedly made military exploits.

"Big... Great..."Sun Liu was already so frightened that he couldn't finish his sentence, and the big one was not finished.

"Rubbish!" Yingwa Jiuhu pushed Sun Liu away, lay on the railing, and looked out to the sea.

"Shhh

"Lord... Lord's wow! Yingwa Jiuhu suddenly rushed down the high oar crying as if her father and mother had died.

In the council chamber of the castle tower, the ministers of the Shimazu family were having a morning meeting, and at this time, they were discussing slowly and leisurely, apparently not yet receiving warnings.

"Lord, there is a report from the front, the second brother has surrounded Jianzhi Tian City, but Kai Zongyun has been harassing from the side, so that our army cannot concentrate on attacking the city, and it is impossible to break through the defense line of the Asu family." Shimazu will report the latest information below.

"This bald donkey! It's annoying! He was one of the first four generals to serve Shimazu Tadaya (Yoshihisa's grandfather), who was seriously wounded in the Battle of Oguchi Castle, but still fought until he won the nickname "Oni Musashi".

The four fierce names left by the Shimazu family scripture hall: Shinna Tadamoto, Liver Fu Kanemori, Kamada Masenen, and Kawakami Hisaro, that is, the so-called "four people who look at the scriptures". Except for Hisaro Kawakami, who died in battle, the other three were all in the seats below.

"Iehisa went relatively well there, and took Otomooka Castle, and Otomo Yoshitomo fled to Dansheng Island Castle in a hurry. Ihisa took advantage of the situation to besiege the city again, but when he heard that the Hosokawa family was about to send troops, he postponed the offensive and hoped to join forces and retreat to one side. Shimazu said again about the situation of Bungo Province that he had received so far.

"Well, my original intention was to quickly destroy the three families of Aso, Sagara, and Otomo, and unite with the Ryuzoji family to keep the Hosokawa family out of Kyushu. Now, it seems that it will be difficult to achieve this in the short term. Although the Sagara family was destroyed, the Otomo family did not become a climate, but the Aso family became a hard bone in the throat. Shimazu Yoshihisa said lightly that he is good at strategy (referring to guidelines and strategies), and there is no problem with the overall idea.

"By the way, how is the Ryuzoji family?" Shimazu Yoshihisa asked about the Ryuzoji family again, and whether the plan is successful or not depends on whether the other party cooperates.

"Back to the lord, the Longzao Temple family is also divided into two ways. After attacking Fei all the way to the south, he destroyed the wealthy clans such as Kumabe, Otsuyama, Heshi, Minghe, and Akashi, and he was able to cooperate with our army to attack the Aso family in a few days. Shimazu replied respectfully.

"Humph! Only know that they are expanding their territory, do they want us to take the lead, and they will take the fishermen themselves! Liver Fu Kansheng said dissatisfiedly, the hard bones are their own, and the Longzao Temple family is bullying some weak people and annexing some territories, which makes him resentful in his heart.

"It's okay, give him some sweetness! Doesn't he still have an army? Shimazu Yoshihisa waved his hand generously, and the territory of the Sagara family he annexed was no less than that of the Ryuzoji family, which was equivalent to the two families dividing the Higo country equally, and it was not a big loss.

"Yes, the other way united with Akizuki, Tsukushi, Harada, Kusano, Soka and other wealthy clans, and the combined army of 20,000 troops attacked Chikuzen, and a few days ago took Iwaya Castle, the residence of the Otomo family Takahashi Shaoyun! Won Takahashi Shaoyun himself! Shimazu continued.

"Whoa, whoa!" When everyone heard the news, they immediately became excited, Takahashi Shaoyun was actually dead!

Takahashi Shoyun is a figure who can be compared to Tachibana Michiyuki, and the world calls them the "Otomo Clan's Two Walls", meaning that the two of them are the center of gravity that supports the entire Otomo family.

The death of Takahashi Shaoyun means that the Otomo family is missing a wall, the first half of Chikumi is lost, and Tachibana Michiyuki is surrounded by strong enemies and cannot move.

"My lord, this is good news! As soon as Takahashi Shaoyun dies, Tachibana Michiyuki is also difficult to support, even if he is good at guarding, it will be a matter of time before the city is broken! The Otomo family will also be destroyed! Hahaha! Kamada Masanen stroked his palms and laughed, as if he had seen the fall of the Otomo family and the fall of Bungo's country into his own hands.

"yes, yes." "Hahaha!" The people below echoed in unison, and the atmosphere became more and more joyful and noisy.

"Well, that's good. Next, it's time to face the Hosokawa family. How do you think the enemy will attack? Shimazu Yoshihisa stopped the commotion below with his hand, looking unsurprisingly profound.

"My lord! His Majesty thought that the Hosokawa Army would definitely cross the sea from the Kanmon Strait and enter from Kitakyushu! Xi Jinji straightened up and said confidently.

The Kanmon Strait, the western gateway to the Seto Inland Sea, has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. With Honshu Island on one side and Kyushu Island on the other, the two seem to be inseparable.

"Your Majesty's reconsideration! The Hosokawa family is now in charge of most of the world, and there must be many soldiers who go to Kyushu, and coupled with logistics, the ships by sea will inevitably be overwhelmed. Moreover, the new decline in Maori must be to act as a vanguard, and Bunzen is the new territory of the Hosokawa family. So, there's only one way by land! Inoue Kakukan also agrees with Ji Jiu's point of view, he is good at both civil and military skills, and is outstanding in martial arts and good at literary writing, for the renge, haiku, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, Keju, kyogen, fortunate dance, ranmai, Xiaobei, Heike pipa, etc.

"Inoue-sama, what do you think the Hosokawa family will send about in terms of the number of troops this time?" Hearing that there were not a few troops dispatched, Yijiin Zhongdong frowned and asked with concern. The Ijiin family has been an important minister of the Shimazu family for generations, and Tadado has always served as the head of the Shimazu family, and he is extremely powerful in the family. Both his internal talents and being a martial artist were highly evaluated.

However, Tadato gradually became a little self-controlled, and as early as the Battle of Ogawa, he had already begun to disobey orders, disobey the order to cross the river, and cross the river directly in front of the enemy, which was the factor that caused the Shimazu family the greatest casualties in the battle (although the Battle of Ogawa ended with a great victory for the Shimazu family). At home, Zhongdong is generally regarded as a minister.

"Hmm... When Hosokawa conquered the Tsugawa family, he sent 150,000 troops. Today, it is estimated that there are no less than 200,000 of them. Inoue Kakukan squinted at Zhongdong, and said the estimated number of people with some reluctance, which was deliberately said by him, after all, he didn't want to scare others, which is why he didn't explain it just now.

"So much!" Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, many people began to whisper, obviously frightened by this number.

"You don't need to worry, the Hosokawa army entered from the Bunzen country, and the first to bear the brunt was his Ryuzoji family. We should urgently mobilize now, and if we join forces with it, we can have an army of 100,000! And what we do best is to win more with less, not to mention the difference between two times, even five times in the past! Ten times over! We've all won it! This! Victory must also be my Shimazu family! Shimazu Yoshihisa reassured everyone in time, and then he was injected with a stimulant, which was inspiring.

"Whoa, whoa!" Everyone listened with enthusiasm and thought.

"Hmm." Shimazu Yoshihisa nodded with satisfaction, and was just about to say something more when he heard a cry outside the house... I want to talk about "Mortals Through the Law of Survival" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
