On June 24, the 10th year of the Astronomical Calendar, the Takatori Yamajo of the Chikuzen Ouchi family.

"The man is still kneeling at the gates?" Yoshitaka Ouchi asked.

"Yes, sir." The little surname replied.

"What a loyal man!" Yoshitaka Ouchi sighed.

"If you want to get the support of your own family, you can't do it without proving your own strength." Tao Longfang on the side said. This year, Tao Longfang is only 22 years old, but in January this year, he defeated the Nizi family in the battle to support the Maori family, and won a big victory in the first battle of his life. Afterwards, he was called "the unparalleled general of the Western Kingdom" by the head of the family, and after defeating the army of the Nizi family, he was called "the unparalleled general of the Western Kingdom" by the people around him, and at this moment, he can be described as high-spirited.

"My lord, Sagara-sama asks to see you outside the mansion." At this time, another small surname came in to report.

"Again?" Hearing this, Yoshitaka Ouchi smiled bitterly and said, "Let him in." ”

Soon, Sagara Takeren walked in, with a little joy on his face.

"Your Majesty has seen the head of the family." Sagara Takeren saluted respectfully to Yoshitaka Ouchi.

"Wu Ren, if it's still about the Luo family's request for help, then there is no need to talk about it today, before the Luo family shows the strength worthy of the family's help, the family should wait and see what happens." Before Sagara Takeshi Dao came to his senses, Ouchi Yoshitaka said directly: "Last time, the family has helped the Luo family to obtain the position of Chikuzen guardian, which can be said to be benevolent and righteous. ”

Last time, the Luo family took the initiative to express their friendship, and according to the letter provided by the Luo family, Ouchi Yoshitaka was indeed suspicious of the Shao Er family, considering that it was indeed necessary to have a strong force to balance the Shao Er family in front of the fat, so Ouchi Yoshitaka readily agreed to the Luo family's goodwill. And immediately by recommendation, he won the position of Chikugo guardian for Zhengliang in the imperial court. Of course, there is his calculation in this. First of all, after sponsoring Roche for an official position. The Luo family will definitely be grateful to the Ouchi family, so the Ouchi family will at least have a pro-Ouchi power before the fat. Secondly, the choice to recommend the position of Chikugo guardian also has its deep meaning, and the main purpose is to break the Luo family's desire to join the Otomo family. Let the Luo family become a force to assist the Ouchi family in fighting the Otomo family.

In his opinion. was able to win an official position for the Luo family. It's already the end of benevolence and righteousness. Because of the destruction of the Takazoji family, he rethought the countermeasures to control Hizen. As for the Luo family, an emerging wealthy family, he hopes to observe it again and see before the real strength. We will decide to support again.

As a result, Ouchi Yoshitaka thought about it like this, but he was anxious about the envoy of the Luo family, Duanmu Kiyomasa, and in order to get the support of the Ouchi family as soon as possible, Duanmu Kiyomasa even knelt directly outside the gate of Ouchi Yoshitaka's temporary residence. And Sagara Wuren, who has always advocated friendship with the Luo family, is also quite anxious. Although the Luo family can't be compared with the giant of the Ouchi family now, with the leadership of that young man. The future is really limitless. This matter is the best time to win over or even recover the Luo family.

Now, Sagara Takeren heard that Yoshitaka Ouchi directly cut off his opportunity to ask for help for the Luo family, and he secretly suffered in his heart.

"Lord Wuren, as a daimyo who dominates Kyushu, this family can't make such a rash decision on the matter of aid, this is something that affects the majesty of this family!" Tao Longfang also said at this time. Historically, it was because of the confrontation between Tao Longfang and Sagara Takeren. It led to the destruction of the Ouchi family. Of course, at this time, the two have not yet confronted each other, and the real disagreement is after the fiasco of the Ouchi family's attack on the Niko family next year. After Yoshitaka Ouchi fell into a slump and ignored politics, the two gradually became opposed.

"My lord, the Luo family has expanded from an inconspicuous little haoqiang to a No. 1 Haoqiang in Hizen that the rest of the Haoqiang in Hizen have to join forces to fight in just one year. Isn't that strength? Sagara Takeren said.

"This is not enough, at least in the Shao Er family's strategy against the Luo family this time. He must show strength worthy of his family's support before he can make a decision. Ouchi Yoshitaka said, in his heart, in fact, he also hoped that this time the Luo family and the young two family organizations would lose both of them. In this way, he can directly send a large army to enter Hizen again, so that those Haoqiang, who are gradually recovering and faintly free from the control of the Ouchi family, will submit again.

"The head of the family, I just received a report from the fine work in front of the fat, and the Luo family defeated the alliance of the Shao Er family. "Sagara Takeren said the shocking news.

"What?" Ouchi Yoshitaka and Tao Takafang screamed when they heard this.

"According to intelligence, on the night of June 21, heavy rain suddenly fell in the place where the two armies were fighting, and the camp of the Shao Erjia coalition army was hit by the flood caused by the heavy rain, and suffered heavy losses. On the second day, June 22, the Luo family launched a strong attack on the Shao Er family coalition army in the morning, and the Shao Er family alliance army was defeated and defeated. Sagara Takeren said.

"This? Is this providential? Yoshitaka Ouchi exclaimed.

"Please tell me more about the performance of the Luo family in this battle." Tao Longfang also said solemnly.

"That's exactly what I mean," said Sagara Taketo. Because he has been paying attention to this big battle between the Luo family and the Shao Er family, Sagara Takeren is very clear about every move of the Luo family. So, he started with the first three-way army organized by the Shao Er family, and described in detail the relevant actions of the Luo family here.

After a long time, Sagara Takeren finished the situation.

"Wu Ren, the above information is all true?" After listening, Yoshitaka Ouchi asked. Now, he found that he had really neglected the emerging wealthy family of the Luo family.

"It's true, because your subordinates have been paying close attention to this battle in Hizen, so the speed and details of obtaining information are better than your family's master, and later, the family's detective should also send the information." Sagara Takeren said.

"Longfang, what do you think of this wealthy family?" After a moment of silence, Yoshitaka Ouchi was the first to ask.

"Wise and brave!" Tao Longfang nodded and said: "Judging from the abnormal behavior of the Luo family on the night when the Shao Er family was hit by the flood, I am afraid that this flood disaster of the Shao Er family's coalition army is also the calculation of the head of the Luo family. ”

"You mean, it was the Luo family who caused this flood?" Sagara Takeshi said in surprise, and then seemed to remember something, and immediately said: "However, in the past few days, there have indeed been rumors in the local area that the head of the Luo family has asked the gods to help and let the gods rain rain from the sky. ”

"Well, if it is really the calculation of the Luo family, it is not difficult to understand why in the early morning of the second day after the flood, the army of the Luo family killed the camp of the alliance of the young two families, which was still in chaos." Yoshitaka Ouchi said.

"Lord of the family, from this point of view, the Shao Er family is likely to be defeated by the Luo family, and even form a big rout, so if this continues, the Luo family is very likely to completely occupy the Hizen country." Tao Longfang said worriedly. Now it is not a matter of whether the strength of the Luo family is worthy of the support of the Ouchi family, but whether the Luo family, whose strength has increased sharply, is controlled by the Ouchi family.

"Order, immediately gather 3,000 troops, Longfang you worry about the general general, Wu Ren is worried about the mediator, and immediately enter Feiqian." Yoshitaka Ouchi immediately said decisively.

The Ouchi family, who had been reluctant to send troops to support the Luo family, finally sent troops after getting the latest information. It's just that, this time, for the Luo family, is it reinforcement or enemy soldiers?
