With the current strength of the Otomo family, its territory is only five countries such as Bunzen, Bungo, Chikuzen, and Chikugo, and its stone height is only 1.23 million, and the population of the territory is only 400,000 or 500,000 people. Perhaps the strength of the Otomo family is indeed the strongest in Kyushu, and among the world, it can also be ranked as a name, and it can even be regarded as a first-class daimyo, after all, it is the overlord before Kitakyushu.

But the power of the Otomo family is still too much worse than the Kuroda family, you must know that the Kuroda family is only a stone height, that is 350,000 or 600,000 stone heights, and this is only the surface height, because the Kuroda family's earliest land generally used the Duolun cultivation system, so the real stone height of the Kuroda family is definitely more than five million stones, which is a very terrifying number. Because this number has definitely been exceeded, there are now many so-called Oda families who are the number one force in the world, and this number of stone heights is close to a quarter of the total number of stone heights in the world.

The Oda family claims that Sakai Town can bring him an income of one million stones, but Oda Nobunaga doesn't know how much of the Kuroda family's commercial properties account for in Sakai Town because of the relationship between the Katsusenya clan, and how much the Kuroda family's own power house, light house, and Chiyoya can attract gold.

Moreover, the Kuroda family's overseas triangular trade is already very mature, transporting the most prolific gold and silver from the Wa Kingdom, as well as some special fuels, and even under the order of Kuroda's high office, he will secretly send some katana made of 100 pieces of iron to Qi Jiguang's army, or spears, which can be regarded as helping Qi Jiguang provide his equipment level.

After that, he bought a large amount of tea and salt from the Ming Kingdom, as well as porcelain and silk that were sold in the Wa Kingdom, and went to the Jurchen Department of Jianzhou in Liaodong. You may ask, why not buy food in large quantities? Because the grain in the Jurchens can at least be multiplied many times. However, Kuroda always remembered that he was a thorough Chinese in his heart, and even if it was to repay China's nurturing kindness to him in the future, he would never send important strategic materials such as grain to the Jurchens.

At the same time, Kuroda Vocational High School abandoned the low-priced, high-quality iron ore of the Ming Kingdom, and went to the Jurchens to buy high-priced iron ore, also in order to be able to reduce the Jurchens' reserves of strategic materials such as iron, including Jurchen horses.

However, even so, the Kuroda family can carry out the ocean smuggling trade several times a year with the help of the monsoon, although in order to weaken the strength of the Jurchens, in the process of this trade, it is inevitable to lose a lot of benefits, but even the remaining profits are more than ten times the capital, and this alone is not comparable to the business of the Oda family.

It is precisely because of this that the Otomo family simply does not have the ability to deal with the attacks on both sides of the Kuroda family at the same time, not only the Kakukuma Ishizong, but even the Otomo family himself is very clear, so if the Otomo family wants to face the attack of the Kuroda family and keep their status and land in Kyushu, they must remove the danger of the Kuroda family all the way, even if it is only a temporary success, which is why the Otomo family spent so much effort to attack the Kuroda family in southern Kyushu before.

And now that Kadokuma's worries have finally come true, the Kuroda family's strategy has become very obvious, that is, to use their strong military strength to attack the entire Kyushu in both north and south. By dispersing the combat power of the Otomo family, the first place on his side cannot be taken care of, and finally the weakening of the Otomo family is realized.

Under the attack of the Kuroda family's tactics, even if the Otomo family can support it for a long time, but under the continuous weakening of the Kuroda family, the soldiers continue to be killed and wounded, and the land continues to fall, and the final result is inevitably to lose the entire battle.

As long as the Kuroda family wins a complete victory on either side of the two directions, the whole of Kyushu may fall into the hands of the Kuroda family, which is not in the interests of the Otomo family.

Kakukuma Ishizong only began to face up to the opponent of Kuroda Vocational High School at this time, it turned out that the governor of the Kuroda family had such a strategic vision, it seemed that he had underestimated the enemy before.

It's just that Kakuma Ishizong, as the military advisor of the Otomo family, is a self-confident person, and sometimes you can even say that he is a little conceited, otherwise he would not be able to be the military advisor of the Otomo family, and the teacher of Otomo Sorin.

Kakukuma Ishizong immediately made his own plans, he immediately told all his plans to Otomo Sorin, so under the clapping of Otomo Sorin, the Otomo family immediately sent an army of 20,000, or Otomo Sorin's own as the general general, and all the important ministers in the family basically followed the army.

And the Toji Kenren, Kitusu Jinsu, and others stationed in Chikuzen Province, as well as the castle in Toyozen Province, will go directly to the designated place, and after going directly to join the army of the Otomo family, they will fight with the Kuroda family, and strive to force the Kuroda family's army led by Kuroda Vocational High to return to the western country, just like the defeat of the Mori family back then.

This time the battle between the Kuroda family and the Otomo family, although the scale is relatively large, but there is nothing brilliant about it, the two armies formed a stalemate, and then there were victories and defeats for each other, but because of the existence of Kuroda Vocational High School and Kakuma Shizong, basically no one on either side had the absolute upper hand, and several encounters were smaller and smaller in scale, and I thought it would become a big war that shook the world, so it ended up being a small fight.

Because neither the Kuroda family nor the Otomo family could achieve victory, they could only retreat after losing their troops, but for the Otomo family, this was not a very good situation, because although the Kuroda family was not able to win the battle, the Kuroda family was able to save the gunmonji port and Okura Castle, which were important strongholds in Toyozen Province.

The importance of Moji Port is self-evident, it is between the Kuroda family and the Otomo family, and it is also the closest place between the West Country and Kyushu, of course, for the Kuroda family, it is not the only way to get to Kyushu, because the Kuroda family is strong, so in fact, for the Kuroda family, every place in Kyushu, as long as you can take the waterway, is the location where the Kuroda family landed, just like the Kuroda family landed in Minami Kyushu before.

But it is undeniable that if the Kuroda family goes to Moji Port from the west and then goes to the rescue gun, it is definitely the best choice for the Kuroda family, whether it is to transport grain and grass or the army to rush, it is the most convenient channel, and the cost is the smallest.
