With the addition of the wise Mitsuhide who has risen to the heavens, coupled with the division and siege of Kato Duanzang and others, where are Gui Yuancheng and the others the opponents of the Luo family?
So in the protest of Gui Yuancheng shouting "I am the messenger of the Maori family, you must not be rude", all the Maori family, including Gui Yuancheng, were captured.
In this battle, a total of 37 members of the Maori family were killed, including more than a dozen Maori family members who had been lurking in the territory of the Luo family but escaped from the pursuit of the Luo family several times, and among these 37 people, 18 were killed, 9 were injured, and 4 surrendered voluntarily. On the Luo family's side, only a few people were slightly injured in the fierce battle.
Of course, even if he was captured, Gui Yuancheng and a few Maori captives who knew the inside story still gritted their teeth and did not let go (even Gui Yuancheng did not even reveal his true identity), but protested to the Luo family on the one hand, accusing the Luo family of attacking the Maori family's envoy for no reason. Zhengliang didn't bother to talk to them about this, and directly threw them to the Intelligence Pavilion.
In the Luo family's intelligence cabinet, the ten tortures devised by Zai Zhengliang based on the information of later generations can definitely make these people of the Maori family speak. As for the final fate of these people, even if they finally speak, they will inevitably be joined to the slave team of the Luo family, anyway, the southern Kyushu and the western region of the Luo family are in urgent need of a large number of people to carry out various territory construction, and with their joining, they can also contribute a little bit of strength.
and the external impact of the attack on the Maori emissary team. Masashi also estimated that the Maori family would inevitably make some moves. The worst case is nothing more than a peace agreement with the Luo family. Fight against the Luo family again, but Masara has long been prepared for this, in the previous strategy against southern Kyushu, Masara almost did not move the various garrisons in the western border area, if the Maori family took the initiative to provoke a war, Masara didn't mind giving the Maori family two blows. If it weren't for the fact that he was unwilling to suffer heavy losses in the mountain nest of the Maori family, Masashi would have taken the Maori family in one fell swoop, but if the Maori family's army stretched out of their lair. The Luo family's army, which is good at field warfare, will naturally not be polite.
Of course, in addition to the possibility of leading the two families to go to war, Maori Yuan will inevitably frantically smear the Luo family in Bigo Kingdom, Bei China and other places, but Masahiro naturally can't let the Maori family do whatever they want, so Masahiro is ready to take the lead in attacking, and also vigorously promote the rumors that the Maori family is trying to send someone to assassinate him in advance in those areas this time with the opportunity of the envoy. Anyway, it's all smearing, to see whose public opinion ability is stronger. I believe that if the Luo family is so disturbed, because the external impact caused by this attack on the Maori family's envoy team will be greatly reduced.
It's just that. Compared to the problem of dealing with the people of the Maori family, after reading the letter of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru carried by Akechi Mitsuhide. Masarashi knew that the matter mentioned by Ashikaga Yoshiteru was more important, so he immediately suspended his inspection of the local territory of Aki Province, leaving Kato Duanzo and others to slowly interrogate the Mori family, and then returned to the Gakufu Castle in Hizen Province in Kyushu ahead of schedule.
As soon as he returned to Gakufu Castle, Masarashi summoned Togo Heiji, Kakukuma Ishimune, Yoshioka Nagamasa, Liu Raku, Arima Harusu, Nabeshima Kiyobo, Kinoshita Masanao, Isono Motomasa, Takasaka Masanobu, Kai Jinnao (Soun), Kashikane, Li Huamei, Andel, and Sayoshi Kusaka to the assessment room to discuss Ashikaga Yoshiteru's letters.
"My lord, it seems that this time the Shogun really hopes that the family can respond to his call to go to Luo!" After reading Ashikaga Yoshiki's letter, Togo Heiji immediately said.
"Hmm." Masarashi also nodded, "I'm afraid that the previous Imagawa Yoshimoto's Kamiro gave him a great shock, if it weren't for Oda Nobunaga's appearance, I'm afraid that Kyoto would soon fall into the competition between the Miyoshi family and the Imagawa family, as for the dignified shogun's family, they can only watch them compete for the position of the world, if Imagawa Yoshimoto wins, then Ashikaga Yoshiki will even face the danger of being forced to abdicate." ”
"My lord! Nowadays, the family is the first overlord of the Warring States, and it is indisputable, why not obey the call of the shogun and officially go to Luo, so that the people of the world can see the strength of the family? Takasaka Masanobu also spoke excitedly at this time.
"Exactly, my lord! Now that Kyushu has been unified by the family, the Shimazu family, who was the most concerned about the family, has also surrendered, and at this time is fighting fiercely with the Kono family in the Shikoku Iyu region. Isono Masanoya, who was sitting next to Takasaka Masanobu, immediately echoed.
"Yes, now not only Kyushu has been unified by the family, but even the territory of the former Ouchi family of the Western Kingdom is also owned by the family, and the Xitu Temple family, the Ichijo family and even the recent Chozong family in the Shikoku region have become allies of the family.
"By the way, even the Nizi family in the western region is also an ally of the family, if you are worried that the Maori family will take the opportunity to cause chaos, the family can use the Nizi family to contain the Maori family......"
When it came to Shangluo, except for Li Huamei and Liu Le, who had never expressed much opinion, the rest of the retainers (especially the generals of the Military Pavilion) immediately excitedly submitted a request to Zhengliang for Shangluo.
"Ahem!" Seeing that everyone was so excited, Dongxiang Heiji, as the chief family elder, coughed lightly a few times, as an old minister who had followed Zhengliang from the beginning, he was very clear about the character of the lord Zhengliang, especially in recent years, as the Luo family has become stronger and stronger, the prestige of the lord Zhengliang has become greater and greater.
Although the lord is still the master who is good at listening to the opinions of his retainers, but with the continuous increase of his majesty, the method of persuasion must also be changed slightly, and now Togo Heiji is really a little worried that Masato is dissatisfied with the persuasion of the retainers at this time too direct, so he has rebellious thoughts, and once again shelved the decision of Shangluo, so he immediately used the cough to remind everyone not to be too excited.
Sure enough, as soon as Togo Heiji's cough came out, many of the retainers in the assessment room immediately realized that they were indeed too excited, so the entire assessment room finally began to quiet.
"My lord, before deciding how to respond to the invitation of the shogun, Ashikaga-sama, let's wait for the old minister to report to you about the situation of the southern Kyushu land inspection this time."
