Call... Soaring fire! The inner castle of Shimazu was burned by a fire, and the billowing smoke could be seen for more than ten miles.

"Look! Look there! Isn't that direction the residence of the owner? The defenders of Ichiuji Castle pointed and pointed in horror.

Stompe... Stompe... From the marching path, a group of samurai on horseback appeared.

"Stop! What people! The two ashigaru guarding the door immediately stepped forward and stopped them with guns.

"Bastard! Blind your dogs! Get out of the way! Ijiin Zhongdong rode forward, and with a whip he slapped down.

"Huh? It's the lord of the castle! Damn the villain! Damn the villain! The gatekeeper saw that it was his lord, and hurriedly threw away his weapon and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"Bastard! Bastard! "Ijiin Zhongdong originally had no place to spread the fire, and he just had to fight to the death, and this is the feudal title of his Ijiin family, and it has been here for generations.

"Oops... The two of them were beaten and rolled on the ground, and the ashigaru in the castle was so frightened that he cowered in the city, not daring to come out.

"Alright, Ijiin-sama! The situation is urgent, hurry up and mobilize the leader to return to the inner city! "Shimazu doesn't want to see him arrogant anymore, and now the top priority is to mobilize troops from all sides to go back to rescue Shimazu Yoshihisa.

"Humph! Let's take a note for now! Go back and clean up the few of you who don't open your eyes! Ijiin Zhongdong also felt that it was almost over, so he stopped what he was doing. In recent years, as the head of the Shimazu family, he has been questioned by many people, and they all scolded him behind his back. But... Lao Tzu is a loyal minister, okay.

Stompe... Stompe... Several samurai ran out of the city, and the leader was none other than Tadashi's concubine, Ijiin Tadashi.

"Father! Oh, I've seen you! "Ijiin Tadashi originally heard the smoke billowing from the direction of the inner city, and came out to take a look, and happened to meet Shimazu and them who were preparing to enter the city outside the city.

"Well, go ahead! Hurry up and mobilize all the ashigaru in the territory! Come with me to relieve the siege of the inner city! Ijiin Tadato rode on his horse and commanded majestically.

"What! The inner city is besieged! No wonder the smoke billowed there. When Ijiin Tadashi heard this, he was startled, and he was still wondering where the little man dared to attack the main family's residence.

"What! It's on fire! When Shimazu heard this, he quickly turned his head and looked back, but he was in a hurry all the way and didn't notice the direction in which he came.

Sure enough, as Zhongzhen said, the smoke was billowing and it seemed that the fire was not small.

"Where's the fire?" Shimazu's expression was solemn, and when they left, they also saw the vanguard of the Hosokawa family, thinking that the siege should have begun by now.

"Don't you say!" A bad thought flashed through him, and the only way to ignite such a fire was to burn the city!

"Lord... Lord's wow! Ijiin Tadato was the first to react, immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt down with a plop in the direction of the inner city, and began to cry.

"Lord, wow!" The other generals also understood, and they all knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. Although it is said that Shimazu Yoshihisa gave up the position of head of the family to Shimazu Yoshihiro, before Yoshihiro officially took the throne, Yoshihisa was still the governor of the Shimazu family and their lord.

"Big... Big brother..."Shimazu Suijiu's face turned pale, and he knelt down in distraction, and it was over... It's all over...

"Father... Father... Still... Still mobilized? "When Ijiin Tadashi saw this posture, how could he not understand that this was a sign of the loss of the inner city, and the main family was probably also...

"Mobilize! Mobilization! Make plans to stick to the ridge city! The Hosokawa Army is coming! "The tears of Ijiin Zhongdong came quickly, and they were collected quickly, and they immediately returned to normal. The inner city is lost, and he has become a forward position here, and if he wants to keep his territory, he must defend it strictly.

"Yes!" Ijiin Tadashi immediately received the order, and now it is a critical moment for the life and death of his family.

"Lord Suijiu, according to the following, you continue to lead the team to the north to find His Royal Highness Yoshihiro, the family cannot be left without an owner for a day! I am willing to defend this place and never let the Hosokawa army cross the thunder pond one step! Ijiin Tadadong patted his chest and assured that he actually had to stay in order to keep his family domain.

"Good! Then there's the Roy Temple-sama! But I'm afraid it's hard to stand alone by relying only here, loyalty! Hurry back to Izuo City! Mobilize the all-collared Ashigaru and assist the Lord of the Ai Temple! The Hosokawa family is coming from the sea, there must not be many troops, and the logistical pressure must be very great! You must block the Hosokawa army in Satsuma! Waiting for the army of my family to come back! Annihilate it in Satsuma in one fell swoop! Let them have no return! Revenge for the Lord's Gazette! Shimazu quickly agreed to Ijiin Tadado's plan, and left Shimazu Tadanaga to divide the family.

"Yes! Brother, don't worry! The clan brother will definitely cooperate with Lord Ijiin... Guard this place. "When it was over, Shimazu Tadanaga also peeked at Ijiin Tadato, and he understood that his mission was not only to stop the Hosokawa army, but also to monitor Ijiin Tadado.

After all, Ijiin Tadato was scolded as a courtier at home, and at this critical moment, it was necessary to prevent him from defecting.

Shimazu Tadashicho, a member of the Shimazu family, the son of Shangjiu, and the grandson of Tadashi. And Shimazu Tadashi has three sons under his knees, the eldest is Guijiu, the second is loyal, and the third is still long. Kihisa is the father of the four Yoshihisa brothers. In other words, Tadanaga and Yoshihisa are the same grandfather and are cousins to each other.

Moreover, the marriage of close relatives of the Shimazu family is very serious, Shimazu Ihisa (the concubine of Shimazu Tadashi) married Tadanaga's sister (cousin), and Shimazu Iehisa's son, Shimazu Toyohisa, married Tadashi's daughter... How should this relationship be calculated?

"Hey, hey, hey... Don't worry, with the old man here, he will definitely be able to guard the return of the army. Ijiin Tadato began to rely on the old and sell the old, and he also knew what Shimazu meant, but he didn't object, and he didn't think about surrendering anyway.

"Okay, let's not stay, we must tell Yoshihiro and Iehisa quickly. Now start to divide the army into two ways and recall the army as soon as possible! Drive! Shimazu stopped talking nonsense for a long time, roughly divided the team into two, and with one whip, everyone separated, galloping towards their respective goals.

"Lord Ijiin, I'm going to rush back to the territory to mobilize, and when the time comes, you and I will be each other's horns and help each other." Shimazu Tadanaga was also anxious to gather Ashigaru, after all, they were still farmers and soldiers, and it would take time to gather people who worked in the fields.

"Okay, definitely." Ijiin Tadado nodded, his family was in the same situation, until now, they all thought that the Hosokawa army won by sneak attack, and they didn't measure each other's strength at all.

"Say goodbye!" After receiving the reply, Shimazu Tadanaga also left the place and headed for the feudal lord Issaku Castle.
