In the council hall of the Qiuyue family, because Shenwu Shaoce bluntly said that the Qiuyue family was about to be wiped out, it caused the annoyance of the retainers of the Qiuyue family, and there was a tendency to beat up Shenwu Shaoce.

Qiuyue Wenzhong didn't speak at this time, but just looked at Kamiya Shaoce with straight eyes, as if waiting for what he was going to say next, and then decide what to do with Kamiya Shaoce. Although the two armies fought without slashing, although the younger sister of Kamiya Shaoce was very favored by him, but for the sake of the dignity of the family, Qiuyue Wenzhong did not mind using the head of Kamiya Sause.

However, Shenwu Shaoce was unaware of the annoyance of the people of the Qiuyue family, but instead bowed to Qiuyue again very solemnly, and then said in a pleading tone:

"Lord Qiuyue, please read the kindness of your sister-in-law, and allow her to be taken out of the city. If so, the child of the housekeeper can also be taken out of the city by Zaixia, who has already sought the consent of my lord to ensure that the child will grow up safely in the family in the future. ”

"My lord, my lord begs to fight a duel with this impudent fellow."

As soon as Kamiya Shaoce's words fell, Mino Mamoru Fukae, who had always been hot-tempered, couldn't hold back any longer, and directly knelt on the ground and pleaded with Akizuki Wengen. Shenwu Shaoce's words were really hurtful, on the surface, he begged Qiuyue Wenzhong to let him leave with his sister and her child, but secretly he implied that the Qiuyue family was about to be wiped out, so he couldn't protect the safety of his sister, mother and son.

"God-house-Shao-strategy!"

Qiu Yuewen's face was already flushed at this time, and it was obvious that the anger in his heart could not be concealed. Even the most powerful person can't stand the humiliation of others in person.

Kamiya Shaoce still ignored everyone's reactions, but continued:

"Just this morning. The family received information from Zhou Fangguo and Fengzen Province. Yoshitaka Ouchi has already made the decision to make every effort to block the family's attack on Chikuzen Province. The wealthy clans of Chikuzen Province will be called upon to resist their own family, and the first reinforcements of the Ouchi family in Chikuzen Province are about to be dispatched, and the route of support is to go south directly along the Enga River, passing through the territories of the four counties of Enga, Kurade, Kama, and Hoba, and finally arriving at Yasu-gun, with the slogan of supporting the Akizuki family and assisting the Akizuki family to protect the territory. ”

"What?"

Qiuyue Wenzhong, who was still annoyed, suddenly heard the news, and the mood that was still in the form of a volcanic eruption immediately became cold as if he had suddenly fallen into a 10,000-year-old glacier.

Why is Qiuyue so surprised? This also starts with the history of the Qiuyue family. The original Qiuyue family was just a small wealthy family in Yesu County. However, he took advantage of the wars of several wars between the overlords of Kitakyushu and gradually controlled the upper and lower seats, and then gradually extended his tentacles to the two counties of Kama and Hoba across the mountains. After completely controlling these two counties, these years have infiltrated Kurade County again.

Unconsciously, the Akizuki family has become a small daimyo that spans five counties and is also invading one county, and has even controlled most of the two granaries of the Tsukushi Plain and the Chikuho Plain. The most important thing is that the Ouchi family, which is the guardian of Chikuzen Province, has always believed in and relied on the Sugi family and the Harada family, but they have not had enough trust in the Akizuki family.

Now I see that the Qiu Yue family has a big tail. A few years ago, the Ouchi family had begun to secretly suppress the Autumn Moon family. This is also the reason why after the Luo family had just gained power in Hizen Country, the Akizuki family took the initiative to come to form an alliance. The Qiuyue family also needs allies.

Of course. Some people may ask, since the Qiuyue family needs the Luo family as an ally so much, why do they want to tear up the alliance and meet the Luo family now?

It can only be said that all this is for profit. Even if the Ouchi family secretly suppressed the Autumn Moon family, this suppression was mainly carried out in the dark side. After all, when the vassal wealthy clan is not at fault, as the suzerain, it is suppressed with great fanfare, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other wealthy clans, and even produce panic that everyone is in danger, thus affecting the internal rule of the Ouchi family. In this case, as long as the Akizuki family does not let the Ouchi family find an excuse to deal with him, they can be safe and sound for the time being.

This time, the Ouchi family tore up the alliance with the Luo family and sent troops to the Luo family, as the Qiuyue family, which also established an alliance with the Luo family, naturally had to be consistent with the suzerain. Otherwise, he will be branded as a collaborator by the Ouchi family. At that time, the Ouchi family will definitely take the opportunity to deal with the Qiu Yue family first and then deal with the Luo family.

In the case of vital interests, Qiuyue Wen naturally gave up the Luo family without hesitation, and even acted as the vanguard against the Luo family in order to avoid suspicion. Such a choice is a matter of course for the wealthy families of the Warring States Period, although Qiuyue Wen is ashamed of it in his heart, but he does not hesitate at all when making a choice.

But now that he suddenly heard the news that the reinforcements of the Ouchi family were preparing to pass through his territory, and he also played the slogan of assisting the Akizuki family in defending the territory, the Akizuki Bun was really angry.

In terms of the distance of assistance, in fact, the fastest and most effective rescue route was to rush directly to Hakata by sea, and then quickly reinforce the parties by land. At this time, the Ouchi family gave up the fastest way to help, but instead passed through the territory of the Qiuyue family in a hurry, and even played a meaningful banner of "assisting the Qiuyue family to protect the territory", which is really known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart.

Of course, from Yoshitaka Ouchi's point of view, this rescue is a good move. If you can come and rescue Sugimoto Castle before the Yesu County falls into the hands of the Luo family, then not only can you curb the expansion of the Luo family, but also give the Ouchi family an excuse to stay in the territory of the Akizuki family, so as to slowly seek control of the Akizuki family.

If the rescue is not in time, then the reinforcements of the Ouchi family will simply be stationed on the spot under the pretext of assisting the Qiuyue family in defending the territory, and take advantage of the sudden decline in strength after the defeat of the Qiuyue family to control the Qiuyue family. Although he eventually lost the Yasu-gun (which didn't belong to the Ouchi family anyway), he got the three counties of Kuraade, Kama, and Hoba across the mountain, and at the same time got a good reputation for actively rescuing the vassals and wealthy clans, so why not?

"What a good move for the Ouchi family!" Qiu Yue Wen said secretly in his heart. At this time, the main forces of the Akizuki family were concentrated in Yasu-gun, and Kurasome, Kama, and Hoba were in a state of emptiness. Once the Qiuyue family is unable to return to these three counties in time, the Qiuyue clan is 100% sure that the Ouchi family will take the opportunity to occupy the territory of the Qiuyue family. What's more, when the Ouchi family wantonly occupied the rear of the Qiuyue family, the Qiuyue family was still working hard for the Ouchi family and the Luo family.

And after losing the territory of the three counties of Kura, Kama, and Suiba, can the Akizuki family keep the Yesu County? Since seeing the Luo family's siege weapons, Qiuyue Wenzhong didn't have much confidence in this. It can be said that this move of the Ouchi family became the last straw that crushed the Akizuki family. At that time, the Qiuyue family may really be wiped out. (To be continued......)
