July 2, 1541, 1541. After the defeat to the Luo family in the battle of the Rokkaku River, the Hizen guardian Shao Erdong was forced to express his surrender to the Ouchi family under the pressure of the Luo family and the Ouchi family at the same time, and took the initiative to offer the Shifukuji Castle, and at the same time, Mutian Castle and Lingbe Castle also successively expressed their sincerity to the Ouchi family. After the last day, Kamiyo Katsuri, who fled back to Mise Castle, also expressed his surrender.

In this way, after the Ouchi family subdued the Tsukushi family, they successively subdued the Shao Er family and the rest of the subordinates. After a lapse of several years, it once again infiltrated the force of potential into the fertilizer. The tragic young family once again became the object of the Ouchi family's prestige.

And as the Otomo family who secretly supports the Shao Er family, at this time, there is still no movement. The forces stationed in Haijin Castle were as calm as a pool of stagnant water. This time, the farce initiated by the Shao Er family to denounce the Luo family is finally coming to an end. And at this time, Hizen, Chikuzen, Chikugo, Higo, etc., the heroes in these areas are curiously looking forward to the Luo family, which appeared at the beginning of this farce, and the Ouchi family, which later dominated the main scene, what kind of collision will the two have, and what kind of ending will be staged for this farce.

"Ha Lu Ha, good, really good, is this a strong wine from the Ming Kingdom?" In a flat military tent between Shuijiang Castle and Shifukuji Castle, Tao Longfang raised a glass of liquor and drank it all.

"Oh? Could it be that Lord Longfang has ever seen this wine? Masarashi on the other side said with a smile. As Tao Longfang said, these soju are the Ming soju brought back by Wang Hai when Zhengliang Mingguo was in his party. The alcohol is much stronger than the sake here in Japan. And this kind of wine is the kind of liquor that people on the battlefield like.

"Hehe, has His Royal Highness Zhengliang forgotten that his family has always maintained trade with the Ming Kingdom?" Sagara Takeren on the side said.

After subduing the Shao Er family, Tao Longfang led the army and finally came to Shifuji City. And Masarashi also stopped the cage battle against Muta-Castle and withdrew the army to Mizue Castle, which was not far from Sefukuji Castle. Under the coordination of Sagara Takeren and Duanmu Kiyomasa, Masashi and Tao Longfang finally met in a field flat military tent selected by both sides.

At this moment, in the military tent, in addition to the two protagonists of Masahiro and Tao Longfang, there are also Kakuma Ishizong, Duanmu Kiyomasa and Sagara Takeren as escorts.

"Ha Luha, I forgot about it below." Masato immediately said suddenly. The Ouchi family, which is in full swing, is indeed in control of the trade with the Ming Dynasty at this moment, and has obtained huge benefits as a result. Since there is a trade relationship with the Ming Dynasty, it is not surprising that you can obtain the Ming Dynasty's soju.

"His Royal Highness Masaliang's reputation is now resounding in Kyushu and the Western Kingdom!" Tao Longfang said enthusiastically. Maybe it's because the shochu just now suits his taste. And he is only in his twenties, not a few years older than Zhengliang. The two are two young people of the same age, who are also famous, and they have obviously found a place to fall in love, so Tao Longfang has changed his previous serious and coercive attitude. Talking enthusiastically to Masayo.

"Lord Longfang has an overreputation!" Masato immediately said modestly. "Compared to the heroic performance of Lord Takabo in the battle of Yamashiro in Yoshida-gun, it is far inferior to the next." In retrospect, some of Tao Longfang's experiences are quite similar to those of Zhengliang. The first is his father, Tao Xingfang, the general of the Ouchi family, after he died. He continued to be the governor of the family at the age of nineteen, and that was only last year. Then, in the second year of his succession (1541), he went to the Niko family to rescue the Mori family, which was the first battle of his life, and in this battle, he laid the foundation for his brilliant achievements. Achieved his fame as a famous general. And what about Zhengliang? was "posted" as the lord of a small town at the age of seventeen, and then all the way to the bloody storm, after several struggles, finally at the age of eighteen years before the well-deserved overlord. The name has also changed from the original "Eagle of Higashi Matsuura" to "Eagle of Matsuura", and until recently it has been changed to "Eagle of Hizen".

What's more, some people have already called Tao Longfang, Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Luo Shi Masara as Kansai Sanying. Of course, this is also just a conversation after dinner, and it can't be taken seriously.

"It was heard. When His Royal Highness fought against the Hata clan under Kishidake Castle, he used a strange weapon that caused the Hatata clan army to fall into chaos. Tao Longfang asked suddenly.

"Huotong?" Zhengliang was slightly stunned, and then pretended to be unaware and doubted. But the heart is awake. It seems that in the last battle with Boda, the use of fires has indeed attracted the attention of those who are interested. In fact, the current situation is not at all surprising. At the time when the fame of the Roche family was revealed. Of course, no one pays attention to it, but now with the Luo family's leap to become the overlord of Hizen. There will be a lot of eyes that will begin to pay attention to the Luo family, and there will even be people who will collect some information about the Luo family. Some strange doubts will naturally be exposed.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness Zhengliang doesn't know what the Dao Fire Sect is?" Tao Longfang said.

"Although my family occasionally gets some items from the Ming Kingdom, they actually know very little about the Ming Kingdom, and I have never heard of the Ming Kingdom Fire Unification Thing." Masayo said with a pretended shame.

"Hehe, I also got one of these fires by accident before I knew about it," Tao Longfang said, "It's a bit like a fireworks-like weapon, it makes a lot of noise, and it can't be used in rainy days, and the range is limited." "Obviously, Tao Longfang is not very optimistic about these fires.

"That's a strange weapon." Masato said with interest.

"If His Highness Zhengliang is interested in this weapon, and if he gets this weapon in the future, he will definitely give one to His Highness." Tao Longfang said.

"That's... I'm ashamed. Masarashi said gratefully. With a sincere expression on his face, even the Kakukuma Stone Sect, who knew that the Luo family did have this kind of weapon, secretly admired Masayo's acting skills.

"If it wasn't for this weapon, then what was that strange weapon that day Your Highness?" Tao Longfang was clearly very interested in the matter.

"Hehe, that's right, when I sent someone to reconnoiter the terrain there, I found a strange place, and as long as I made a sound there, it would become another strange sound, and the sound was very loud, so on the day of the attack, I sent someone to bring a small drum ......" Masarashi told Tao Longfang the story of a terrain that made strange noises and defeated the Hata clan.

For Zhengliang's description, it is obvious that Tao Longfang is extremely interested. I listened attentively.

In this way, in a friendly atmosphere, a pleasant meeting was conducted.

This meeting was a great success. First of all, they clearly expressed their friendship to each other, so as to avoid misunderstandings that would lead to the armies of both sides getting into a fight. Second, a consensus was reached to maintain the territory currently occupied by the two companies and to maintain the stability of Hizen. That is to say, the Ouchi family has now recognized the Luo family's ownership of the territory they have occupied.

Of course, when the two sides met amicably, Masarashi did not forget to order Kinoshita Masanao and Akuta to lead a large army to plunder the population everywhere in the powerful territories of the young family of Kanzaki County, the Kamiyo family, and the Nishimuta family, and burn the farmland of these families. And Tao Longfang actually knew what the Luo family had done, but there was nothing to stop it. Perhaps, in his opinion, it would be best for these families to betray the Ouchi family repeatedly and intelligently and be exterminated.

After returning to Shuijiang City, the two military divisions took the initiative to find Zhengliang.

"Your Highness, although the main family has already dominated Hizen, in fact, judging from the current situation, there is the Ouchi family in the north of the main family, which is majestic in several countries such as Chikuzen, and there is also the Otomo family in the east that has the strength to compete with the Ouchi family. For the family, it is just a strong force sandwiched between two overlords to survive. Kakuma Ishizong said bluntly. Obviously, he was now a little worried that Masato was complacent and proud of having achieved such great feats at such a young age.

"This time, the Shao Er family was defeated by His Royal Highness in the Battle of Rokkakugawa, and the family also took the opportunity to occupy a large number of territories, but many of the heroes who surrendered to the family still have different intentions, and the family must show enough strength to make these heroes quiet." Shinnosuke Akabane also said.

"What you're referring to is strength, not only the current combat power of the family, but also the alliance with the Ouchi family, right?" Masara asked.

"Not bad." The two military advisors nodded.

"In troubled times, what we want is the survival of the family." Kakukuma Ishizong first said, "With the current strength of the main family, it is completely impossible to compete with either Ouchi and Otomo alone, so the main family should rely on one of them to deal with the other and reduce the threat faced by the main family, the current strength of the Ouchi family is much stronger than the Otomo family, and geographically speaking, it is only right for the family to develop eastward." ”

"And after getting the help of the Ouchi family, the family not only won the name of righteousness, but also those small wealthy families have settled down a lot." Shinnosuke Akabane also said.

"In that case, let's send an order to Duanmu Kiyomasa, who is still in Ouchi's house, and let him convey the intention of forming an alliance to the Ouchi family on his behalf." Masahiro decided later. In fact, he had the intention of forming an alliance with the Ouchi family for a long time, and compared to others, Masara has the advantage of knowing the historical trend of the road, although his appearance has led to a little deviation in some history, but the overall trend will not change. At the beginning, because the Luo family was still very weak, even if the willingness to form an alliance was proposed, the Ouchi family would only ask the Luo family to take refuge in the form of vassals, but now it is different, the Luo family has grown into the only overlord of Hizen, so it has the qualifications to form an alliance with the Ouchi family. During the Warring States Period, everything spoke with strength.

After the meaning of the alliance was conveyed, he quickly received a response from the Ouchi family. Yoshitaka Ouchi agreed to the Luo family's proposal for an alliance. Obviously, during this period of time, as it has become a fact that the Luo family dominates the fat front, the Ouchi family has spent a lot of energy studying everything about the Luo family.

On the 4th day of the seventh month of the 10th year of the Astronomical Universe, after some preparations, Masarashi officially began to go to the Takatoriyama Castle of the Chikuzen Ouchi family to conclude an alliance with Ouchi Yoshitaka who was there.

Later, the Takatori Alliance, which had a far-reaching impact on the whole of Kyushu and even the western country, officially kicked off.
