In late January of the 21st year of astronomy, under the internal response of the Tao family, the army of the Luo family captured the home city of the Bunzen Sugi family, Matsugami Castle. As the guardian of Bunzen, Sugi Shigeju died in this battle.

In this battle, the Sugi family lost most of their retainers and the elite of the family. And the Shiroi family, the Kamimo Yamada family, and the Usa Omiya family who came to support this time were also heavily damaged in the Luo family's tailgating attack. What is surprising is that the Tao family's army, which is also a reinforcement, seems to be unscathed, and even the Shanjia army's navy was included in the Tao family's command afterwards, and then Shi Shiran returned to Zhou Fangguo.

The battle of Matsugami Castle had a great impact on the local wealthy families of Toyozen Province. After learning that Sugi committed suicide and Matsuyama Castle fell, the determination of many wealthy families to resist the Luo family was shaken to varying degrees. To Tao Longfang's surprise, his conspiracy with the Luo family was revealed by Sugi Zhengzhong, who escaped from Matsuyama City.

After the collusion between the Tao family and the Luo family was exposed, the wealthy families of Fengqian Kingdom completely lost their trust in the Tao family. And this news also caused turmoil in the situation between Zhou Fangguo and Nagato. Tao Longfang had to concentrate again on calming down the internal chaos.

Of course, the Tao Long room did not come out of nothing this time. He solved the Shanjia with the help of the Luo family's knife, and at the same time took the opportunity to collect the Shanjia's water army. Moreover, after assisting the Luo family in capturing Songshan City, the Tao family also formally signed a peace agreement with the Luo family, and the two families were not allowed to attack each other for at least the next few years. As a condition for the peace, the Luo family handed over Ouchi Yoshinaga to the Tao family as the new heir to the Ouchi family. The Tao family transferred the families and clansmen of Sagara Wuren and Qingjing Takashi in Zhoufang and Changmen to the Luo family.

Tao Longfang is not a stupid person, although Sagara Wuren and Qingjing Takashi are his sworn enemies, he can't wait to directly kill the family members and clansmen of the two. to relieve the hatred in my heart. But after learning that Sagara Takeren and Qingjing Takashi took refuge in the Luo family. Reason prevailed over Tao Longfang's personal feelings. In order to reach a peace agreement with the Luo family and obtain sufficient benefits, he forcibly resisted his anger and returned the families and clansmen of Sagara Takeren and Qingjing Takashi to the two. Sagara Takeren and Aokei Takashi, who were rescued from their families and clansmen, were also immediately divided by Masayo into Higo Province and Chikugo Province, and as for the direct family members of the two, they needed to settle in the castle town outside the castle of the Luo family's daimyo castle school.

And although the Luo family sent Ouchi Yoshicho out of the country this time, at the end of last year, the Luo family accepted several clansmen and retainers of the Ouchi family who came to the Luo family to ask for asylum. Among them are Yoshitaka Ouchi's son-in-law Yoshizun Ouchi (seven years old), servants Yoshimi Kohata (fifteen years old), Yoshitoyo Nijo (fifteen years old), and the fierce general Ryozumi Takatoyo. He even got the blood book of Yoshitaka Ouchi and the flower prints of Taiji Dazai and the Western Kingdom Exploration. These are all effective and righteous things for Masato to seize the Ouchi family's territory in the future.

And when Masayo and Tao Longfang were discussing diplomatic interests, Yoshida Shigemasa, who was the general of the Bunzen Kingdom Raiders, pursued the victory. He led the army of the Luo family to continue to invade the central region of Fengqian Kingdom.

At the end of January of the 21st year of Astronomical, the Sugi family's Ori Ming Castle located on the coast of the Nakata Plain and Kyoto County was captured by the Luo family, and the new governor of the Sugi family, Sugi Masa, who fled here, had to continue to run away before his ass was hot. Since then, Bunzen Tsukyto County, which has been controlled by the Sugi family, has fallen into the hands of the Luo family.

After the capture of Ryaki Castle, the Luo family immediately marched to Mayue Castle in Toyozen Kunidagawa County. This time, Sugi Masashige, who had just fled to Mayue Castle, did not even have the courage to resist the castle and fled directly to the Sugi family's Myokengaku Castle in the southeastern region of Toyozen Province. The army of the Luo family took Mayue City bloodlessly.

Subsequently, in the name of the repair doctor and the young two and the young rulers, Masarashi ordered the Joi family and the Kamimo Yamada family, who had previously assisted the Sugi family to resist the Luo family's resistance in Matsugami Castle, to surrender to Kaijo. The Shiroi family and the Kamimo Yamada family naturally ignored this. So Masato immediately began to march into the territory of these two families in early February in the name of disrespect.

One of the targets of the Luo family was the Joi family, located in the south-central region of Bunzen Province, in the mountainous area on the northern edge of Mt. Hidehiko.

Since most of the castle family's territory was located in the mountainous area on the northern edge of Mt. Eihiko, and the castles in the territory were easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yoshida Shigemasa, under the advice of Yamamoto Kansuke, the military division of the army, first concentrated superior forces to take down the castle family's Yanase Castle in the plain area, and then adopted a step-by-step approach. Gradually advance to the mountainous territory of the Chengjing family.

In late February, after a hard battle. The Luo family finally took Kagura City, the gateway to the castle home city. Xuan Checheng was revealed in front of the Luo family like a beautiful woman without clothes at this time. Immediately, the Luo family fell into a bitter battle in the cage city under Xuanche City.

In mid-March, after being besieged for more than half a month, Sagara Takeren rushed to the city as an envoy of Masayo, and entered the city to begin to persuade him to surrender. Two days later, with the support of the Joi Fangtong, who had sent the Luo family to mediate the conflict between the Luo family and the Otomo family on behalf of the Ouchi family, the Joi family finally surrendered. The head of the Joi family, the head of the Joi family, took the retainers of the Joi Fangtong, the Joi Main House, the Guan Qinqing, the Bottom of the Well Fufang, and the Rufa Temple Tegunori to personally rush to Kokura Castle to apologize to Masayo. Since then, the Bunzen Kunijo family has been included in the territory of the Luo family.

At this time, it was already the spring plowing season, but after receiving the order of Zhengliang, the army of the Luo family did not stop the pace of attacking. They immediately went to the next target, the Mao Tian Mountain family. In the face of the surging army of the Luo family, the Kamimaotian family not only did not retreat, but even fought several fierce battles with the Luo family in the local area of Tsukijo County in the Toshimae Kingdom, but they all ended in a fiasco. After the Luo family got Tsukijo-gun, they already occupied the land of the five counties of Tagawa, Kisa, Kyoto, Nakatsu, and Tsukijo in the northern and central regions of Bunzen Province, and the entire Bunzen Province was left with the three counties of Kamimo, Shimomo, and Usa in the southeastern region of the entire Bunzen Province, which were respectively in the hands of the wealthy families of the Kamimo Tayama family, the Sugi family, the Usa Omiya family, and the Nonaka family.

At this time, it was already the end of March, and the busy spring ploughing had been in full swing, and just when the Luo family was preparing to muster up all their strength to take the remaining three counties in one fell swoop, they encountered unexpected trouble. (To be continued......)
