In the seventeenth year of astronomy, 1548 A.D., October, autumn.

The forces of the Luo family, who had been besieging Sugimoto Castle for several days, suddenly withdrew to a distance of half a mile from Sugimoto Castle, and the Akizuki family also sent a group of troops from the city to quickly pass through the ancient mountain castle along the mountain road and rush back to the eastern territory of Chikuzen Province. Subsequently, 1,000 troops of the Luo family officially settled in the ancient mountain city.

According to the agreement, the troops of the Luo family withdrew for half a mile to make way for the evacuation of the Qiuyue family. In order to show the sincerity of the evacuation, the main army of the Qiuyue family must be evacuated first, and only a small number of troops can be left in the city to assist the remaining clansmen to evacuate gradually. For this request, Qiu Yue Wenzhong agreed without thinking, since he had decided to accept the Luo family's peace conditions, then he was now eager to immediately return to the eastern region of Chikuzen Province to prevent the infiltration of other wealthy clans and even the Ouchi family in the surrounding area.

While the Luo family's army was closely monitoring the withdrawal of the Akizuki family, the results of the Luo family's alliance with Ouchi and Otomo in the First Battle of Chikugo Province had also spread to other parts of Kyushu. It immediately caused a great impact.

This battle, coupled with the successive investment of troops by both sides, has brought the number of soldiers involved in the battle to nearly 100,000. The battle of 100,000 people is already a battle that can be recorded in the history of Kyushu and even the Warring States. And the soldiers buried in the Kurume area are even more numerous. In the future, it even became the most fertile place. Of course, this also caused sequelae, which led to a sharp decrease in the number of troops in the Kitakyushu region, which brought a lot of trouble to Masarashi in the future.

Of course, it is definitely good news for the people of the Luo family's territory at this time. Under the deliberate propaganda and even deification of the Luo family. The battle that night at the Luo family was rumored to be magical. This made the solemn atmosphere in the territory that had been besieged by the two coalition forces of Otomo and Ouchi dissipate at once.

After learning about the change in the atmosphere of the people in the territory from the Intelligence Cabinet. Masato secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion. The Luo family still lacks heritage. If the rule of the Luo family is solid enough, there will be no fluctuation of people's will when they are besieged by strong enemies.

It can be said that at this time, the Luo family lacked both a solid material foundation for ruling and a solid popular reputation for rule. It is especially obvious that there are no Jin Dynasty retainers in the family. This leads to the fact that if there is a mistake in the political goodness, there will be unstable fluctuations in the territory. Under the impetus of people with intentions, they will even be taken advantage of by ambitious retainers to seize the family business.

For this, Zhengliang does not have a very good solution. In addition to continuing to implement a set of cultural management systems unique to the Luo family. In addition to reducing the influence of important ministers on the sovereign, the only way to preserve yourself is to be careful. It can be said that at this time, Zhengliang is walking on thin ice every step he takes.

With the rapid spread of the news in the Luo family's territory, the powerful people around the Luo family also gradually got the news.

Nakayama Castle at the junction of U-gun in Kyushu Hyuga Province and Aso County in Higo Province.

For the past few days, Mitai Youtake, as the lord of Zhongshan Castle, has spent every day in fear. Because the Ito family was preparing to invade the Roshi family, Higo Province, and Aso County, the Ito family's forward army was stationed outside the castle at this time.

You must know that although Zhongshan City at this time is still the home city of the Mitsui family on the surface, it has already secretly changed the pillars for the Luo family. For more than a year, through secret migration, the wives and children of the Mitsuida family, as well as their relatives, have been forcibly and secretly moved to Hizen Province by the Luo family to settle down. Only Mitai Ubuti remained in Zhongshan Castle as a puppet to defend the castle in order to confuse the Ito family. It's been a few days. He was worried that he secretly defected to the Luo family, which would cause a conflict between the Luo family's army, which had completely controlled Zhongshan City, and the Ito family's army outside the city.

What made him even more frightened was that the defender of the Luo family seemed to be preparing to secretly attack the Ito family's army outside the city in the past few days. In his anxiety, Mitai Youwu even cursed in his dream why didn't the Ito family army leave this place quickly, even if it was to attack the Luo family's territory in Higo Country, as long as something didn't happen in his territory, everything had nothing to do with him.

It's just that the Ito family's army seems to be ready to be stationed outside the city temporarily, and they don't even have the slightest intention of marching towards Higo Province. It is actually quite normal for the Ito Army to make such a move. Although he agreed to the request of the Otomo family and was ready to fish in troubled waters, before the results of the decisive battle between the Luo family and the two coalition forces of Otomo and Ouchi came out, the Ito army would never take the initiative to provoke the eagle of the Luo family first. After all, the last time they were supporting Higo Country, the Ito family had already suffered a big loss because of this, and even lost the fierce generals in the family. This time, the commander of the Ito Army will definitely not repeat the same mistakes.

So I waited for a long time, and finally waited for the exact news, but it was the news that the Luo family had won a big victory, and even the news that the Governor of the Otomo family, Otomo Yoshikan, was seriously injured. So, in accordance with the order of Yoshisuke Ito, the governor of the Ito family, the commander of the Ito army decisively began to retreat and returned directly to the territory of the Ito family. For this reason, Mitai Youwu was stunned and drunk.

Mitai Utake was happy, but Uemura Seko, Sagara Haruhiro and others who were entrenched in the area of Kuma County in Higo Province's Higashi Province were not happy. It has been suppressed by the Luo family before, and after getting the help of the local wealthy family and the Hinata Ito family and other wealthy families, they barely resisted the invasion of the Luo family, and finally got the contact of the Otomo family, and Zhilu Dao is about to have the opportunity to counterattack the Luo family and regain the lost South Higo area. In the end, I waited for the news of the fiasco of the Otomo family. This made their preparation for a period of time in vain.

At the same time, Takahisa Shimazu, who was in Satsuma, was also very depressed. The last time the Otomo family clashed with the Luo family, due to his momentary hesitation, he missed the opportunity to enter Nanfei before the Luo family, and finally watched Nanfei fall into the hands of the Luo family.

This time, after receiving the invitation of the Otomo family, he had already made up his mind to send troops to Nanfeihou and take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Luo family. For this reason, he was even ready to sacrifice his second son, Yoshihiro Shimazu, who was taking hostage in the Luo family's house. As a result, the Otomo family and the Ouchi family were not angry, and they were reversed by the Luo family in a good situation.

As the power of the Luo family continues to grow, Shimazu Takahisa, who is an ally and neighbor, is becoming more and more worried. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, and in Shimazu Takahisa's view, the ambition of the Luo family governor Luo Masarashi is too great. After dealing with all the enemies in Kyushu, will he still tolerate the Shimazu family, an ally on his flank? (To be continued......)
