In the military camp of the Luo family in the coastal mountain road of Saeki County, Zhou Fangguo, the peace envoy of the Yoshimi family is asking to see the Luo family's governor Masahiro.

After the normal diplomatic exchange between the two sides, Masarashi immediately turned grim and said, "I don't know what happened to Lord Tomoshin's visit this time on behalf of the Yoshimi family?" ”

Hearing the question from the governor of the Luo family, Soma Yushin also knew that the text of the envoy had finally arrived, so he immediately spoke: "The prestige of the Dazai Dazai Detective has spread far and wide throughout the Western Kingdom, and the lord of the family also deeply admires it, in order to once again show the prestige of the Dazai Datsu Detective, I implore the Dazai Daibi Detective to negotiate peace with the family." ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Masahiro looked at the next Prime Minister with a smile. Soma Yushin's request was a little clever. Trying to use the relationship of fame to ask Zhengliang to agree to his request for peace.

Of course, with the changes of various forces around the Luo family, and Masara concentrating more energy to seize the original territory of the Ouchi family, Masara also hopes to reach a peace with the Yoshimi family in his heart, but Masara naturally hopes to get enough benefits from the Yoshimi family as much as possible to agree to this request.

"Lord Dazai, as long as you can agree to this peace, the family promises not to participate in the accident of the Ouchi family this time, and the lord of the family hopes to marry one of the daughters of the lord into the Luo family, so as to achieve a marriage between the two parties." After seeing Masayo's expression, Soma Yushin immediately put forward the conditions for Yoshimi's request for peace.

"In this way, in addition to no longer entering the Ouchi family's territory in Nagato Province and Zhou Defense Country, the Yoshimi family also needs to take the initiative to hand over Zhiyue City. As for the marriage of the two parties. This side of the family. Let's send Ah Gu to greet the daughter of the righteous father. And the family will also allow the troops of the Yoshimi family who are in Zhiyue City at this time to leave safely and return to the territory of the Yoshimi family. Zhengliang immediately asked. In fact, at this time, Masarashi did not know that the governor of the Yoshimi family was besieged in Tsuki Castle. Otherwise, Masato will definitely take the risk of storming Zhiyue City and capturing the other party's governor, so as to seek to seize the territory of the Yoshimi family, after all, the silver mine controlled by the other party has been hot for a long time.

"Just according to the opinion of the Lord of the Great Sword." Soma Yushin immediately agreed. Before actually leaving, after some deliberation, the retainers of the Yoshimi family were basically ready to be asked for by the Luo family, but the Luo family's requirements at this time were barely within the bottom line that they could accept, if so, they would be able to let their own lord return to the Yoshimi family safely, and at the same time, let the army of the Finger Moon City return to their homes. This is already the best result for the Yoshimi family at this time.

It's just that to Soma Yunobu's surprise, the governor of the Luo family did not accept the princess of the Yoshimi family, but instead rewarded this princess to the generals under his command. Thinking of this and that general named Akuta, Soma Yuxin couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

At the beginning of the Finger Moon Castle, Soma Yushin begged to see the fierce general Akuta, the tall and burly figure, and the giant weapon full of iron nails in his hand (in fact, it was a simple version of the mace specially created by Masato for Akuta), all of which gave Soma Yushin a deep impression. It's not bad for my own princess to marry such a fierce general, but with the princess's small body of only thirteen years old at this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the huge body of this fierce general, and it seems that in the future, when the princess is married. You have to mention it to this fierce general, otherwise if your own princess marries each other, once there is a three-sheet and two short, I am afraid that the relationship established by the marriage of the two families will be cracked.

In this way, after detailed deliberations between the two sides, they finally reached an agreement on peace. Among them, the Yoshimi family needs to take the initiative to cede the Tsugetsu Castle to the west of Abu County in Nagato Province, and at the same time, the Yoshimi family will give up the territory of the western half of Abu County to the Luo family, and the remaining eastern half of Abu County will continue to belong to the Yoshimi family, and the army of the Yoshimi family will all retreat to the two places of Henian Castle and Crocodile Spinning Mountain Castle at the junction of Nagato Province and Iwami Province in the east of Abu County, and the army of the Yoshimi family will not be allowed to enter the Luo family and the other territories of the former Ouchi family in Nagato Province and Zhou Defense Country.

In addition, the merchant house designated by the Roche family will be able to enter the Iwami Silver Mine controlled by the Yoshimi family to purchase silver. Masahiro planned to involve the Luo family, which was controlled by several of his wives, to purchase the silver of the Yoshimi family at the local price of the Wa Kingdom, and then trade it with You Jianxia, Zuo Moyang, Zhu Qinfeng, and other Ming and Nanban merchants. For this request, the Yoshimi family, who needed more silver trading outlets, was naturally quite catered for, so Soma Yushin naturally agreed immediately.

In the end, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the peace negotiation, the head of the Luo family, Aguta, will marry the daughter of Yoshimi Masayori as the main room. On the Luo family's side, the passage was opened to allow the Yoshimi family's troops who were besieged in Zhiyue City to leave safely, and the Luo family's troops were also not allowed to enter the territory area currently owned by the Yoshimi family.

After Shun completed the task of negotiating peace with the Luo family, Soma Yushin immediately took the Luo family's naval ship and began to rush back to the territory of the Nagato Kuniyoshimi family to report the results of the peace negotiation to everyone in the family. Masarashi also sent his retainers to accompany him to Abu Prefecture in Nagato Province, on the one hand, to monitor the implementation of the peace agreement between the Yoshimi family, and on the other hand, to convey new orders to the army of Akuta.

The content of the order is mainly as follows: first, it ordered Aguta to take over the Zhiyue Castle of Abu County, which was taken under control after the Yoshimi family's army left, and at the same time to receive the territory of Abu County in the west; The second is to send a part of the army to attack Watagawa Castle at the junction of Zhou Defense Province and Nagato Province at the northern border of Abu County, and then through the mountain path to the south of this place, climb over the mountains and forests and go straight to Tsukiyama Castle in Yoshishiki County of Zhou Defense Province on the other side of the mountain, and approach the Yamaguchi area, the core territory of the Ouchi family.

After reaching a peace agreement with the Yoshimi family and resting in the local area, the army led by Masarashi once again approached Udagake Castle in Yoshishiki Prefecture of the Zhou Defense Kingdom.

At this time, the outside of the Youtianyue city has been in a mess, the second army of the Luo family has already arrived a few days ago to the west of the Youtianyue City, the main general Isono Yuanchang ordered the bow and arrow ashigaru under his command to set up a wooden shield within the range of the city, the archers and arrows are hiding behind the wooden shield and shoot at the city wall, and the bows and arrows of the Youtian family on the city wall are not to be outdone, the arrows on both sides come and go, although the bows and arrows under the hands of Isono Yuanchang are far more than the bows and arrows in the city of Youdayue, However, the archers of Youdagake Castle had an absolute advantage, they hid in the arrow tower and pulled their bows down from the narrow shooting holes to shoot arrows, and the arrows were more than twice as lethal under the action of mechanical force and the earth's gravity, while it was even more difficult for the people under the castle to accurately shoot the defenders on the city walls, so the bows and arrows of Isono Yuanchang were almost unable to raise their heads under the pressure of the arrows of the castle defenders.

Mt. Udagake Castle is the old nest of the Uda family, and the castle has been built by the Uda family for several generations and has become a strong castle. Unlike the Sugi family of Nagato Province, in order to attack the Tao family and hold on to the castles such as Numa Castle and Iwatomi Wakayama Castle, the Sugi family transferred part of their forces in the old nest of Nagato Province to the above-mentioned castles, thus leading to the fall of Shinda Maru Castle by the Luo family's army due to the reduction of troops. And the Youtian family has concentrated almost all the troops and resources of the family in this Youtian Yue City. They were ready to hold on to the city.

On the side of Isono Yuanchang, since the capture of Nobuta Maru Castle and Takanoyama Castle in Nagato Province, his army was divided into two routes, led by Oishi Tomohisa, Yoshikawa Kokei and others, and a part of the army remained in place, and continued to besiege Araryū Castle, which was held by the remnants of the Naito family, while the army of Isono Yuanchang, Akao Kenzhong and others directly attacked Youda Mt. Castle, which was guarded by the Uda family.

Because the army was divided into two routes, the number of bows and arrows of the army was naturally much less, and the city wall of Youtianyue City was actually seven or eight meters high, and there was a moat outside the city to protect it, in order to resist the army of the Luo family, the other party even adopted the policy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, drove all the peasants outside the city into the city, and burned all the houses and fields outside the city. Under such circumstances, it was naturally difficult for the army of Isono Yuanchang to overcome this bridgehead that blocked the army of the Luo family from entering the Ouchi Pass area in a short period of time.

"Damn it!" Yoshikawa Kotsune, who was dressed as a wolf, complained loudly after being repelled by the opponent's attack again. If you ask who is the most passionate in the center of this Western Raiders, it will naturally be Yoshikawa Xingjing. Many years ago, due to the trickery of Mori Motosa, Yoshikawa Kotsune was forced into exile in the Kyushu region to join the Luo family, but in fact, he has always held a grudge against the Mori family in his heart. Moreover, when he took refuge in the Luo family, the lord Zhengliang had promised him that one day he would lead a large army to return to his homeland and take revenge on the Maori family.

What Yoshikawa Xingjing didn't expect was that this day he had been looking forward to had finally arrived, especially after learning that his great enemy, the Maori family, had been defeated by his own family this time, and he was even happier for a few days. And before going out to the western country, he specially approached the lord Masashi, hoping that Tongguò's own military exploits would get the homeland in Anyi Country, and he would personally exterminate those retainers who had betrayed him and defected to the Maori family, and this request was also approved by Masato (Masara happened to use Guò Yoshikawa Xingjing to clean up the local wealthy clans), so this war, he was the most active. But the pace of the army's strategy is now blocked by the fortified city in front of him, and Yoshikawa Xingjing is naturally angry.

And it was in this madness that after several days of fighting, after paying hundreds of casualties, Isono had just filled in the moat of Mt. Utada, and in order to fill the moat, Isono even temporarily organized a large number of peasants to block the entrance of the moat, and at the same time dug a new outlet for the river that poured into the moat. And at this time, the army of the lord and the good government finally arrived nearby, and was about to join their army. (To be continued......)
