Chapter 446: Spring with Horses
"Although Gorou seems to be rude and unreasonable on the surface, reckless, indulgent, and does not listen to people's persuasion, but the lord of the country, His Majesty, the ministers, think that if the Otomo family is under his command, he will definitely be a fierce rival of his family." Seeing that Masashi was chasing after him, Kakuma Ishizong was silent for a while, and then commented very pertinently.
"The Kirin of the Otomo family? It's just that, will Otomo Yoshikan make you get your wish? Hearing this, Masahiro chuckled. It seems that it is not an accident that the Otomo family will almost dominate Kyushu under the leadership of Otomo Yoshijin in the future. Even Kakukuma Ishizong commented on him at this time, it seems that this Otomo Yoshizhen is indeed not simple.
After thinking for a while, Masarashi looked up at Kakuma Ishizong, who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Since you have such a high opinion of this person, why don't you go back now that he has personally written to you?" You must know that as the heir of the future governor of the Otomo family, it is a good position to be able to serve as its master of the art of war? ”
After hearing this, Kakuma Shizong first trembled slightly. It's really hard to answer such a question. This is especially true when the person asking the question is the head of the family. If you make the slightest mistake, your head will be ruined. Even family members are implicated. So the Kakuma Stone Sect simply responded silently.
Of course, he also has something in mind. Aside from personal feelings, although the head of the Luo family is slightly older than Otomo Yoshijin, he has already single-handedly led an ordinary small tyrant family into a powerful man who shocked Kyushu. Both ability and courage are admirable. In addition, the so-called one minister does not serve two masters, since the current head of the family can afford himself, and even sealed himself as a military advisor, he naturally cannot live up to the expectations of the head of the family.
It's just these sycophants. He couldn't say it anyway. It's not good to belittle the previous owner. So just keep silent.
"Now that you've made your choice, I appreciate the loyalty you've shown." Seeing that Kakukuma Ishizong had been forced to dare not speak, Masarashi finally showed a soothing smile on his face, and at the same time began to persuade him.
"Your Majesty is guilty." Kakukuma Shizong bowed his head again and said.
"Get up, I forgive you." Zhengliang said.
"No, my lord, the messenger who came to deliver the letter has been let go by his minister, and his minister is guilty." Kakuma Ishizong then said. All the way. He didn't even lift his head.
Masahiro, who was still smiling, was slightly stunned. But he quickly reacted again, so he sighed and said, "Have you ever complained about trapping you in your own family and secretly moving your family to your own territory?" ”
"Your Majesty's loyalty to your family is evident." Kakukuma Ishizong said immediately.
"Hehe, that's a complaint?" Masato said with a smile. Kakukuma Ishizong only expressed his loyalty and did not directly answer Masayo's words, so he naturally expressed his complaints. However, it is no wonder that when the Kakuma Stone Sect was not reused in the Otomo family, he took the opportunity to recuperate and came to Karatsu to visit Master Xuanru. By the way, I recuperate my body, but I don't want to be trapped in front of the fat by Zhengliang. He also bribed two of his retinue and asked them to falsely pass on his orders and move his family to Hizen.
By the time he learned of his family's arrival, rumors had already spread in Toyogo that he had asked the Otomo family to resign. And Otomo Yoshikan also received a letter of resignation written by Shinnosuke Akabane in imitation of Kakukuma Ishimune's handwriting. The matter of Kakukuma Ishizong becoming a retainer of the Luo family has also changed from raw rice to cooked rice. In the end, in desperation, the Kakuma Stone Sect had to stay in the Luo family. In this regard, the Kakuma Stone Sect has always complained.
"This time the matter of letting go of the enemy personnel can be regarded as a counteract to the previous incident of the family forcibly leaving you." After being silent for a while, Masahiro spoke again, "But, Shizong, you have to remember that this is the last time, and I don't want another time. You know, I hate betrayals. ”
"Yes, my lord." After receiving Masayo's pardon, Kakukuma Ishizong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Dao Zhengliang was definitely a decisive person, so this time he also took a risk. It's just that he also knows that after this incident, the little grace he has in his political conscience has also been consumed, and he will have to be a man with his tail between his legs in the future. Of course, deep down, he has no regrets about what he did this time. To be a man is to be clear and fair.
Witnessing the figure of the Kakuma Ishizong gradually walking out of the castle tower, Masarashi pondered. The most reluctant grinned and said to herself: "I escaped a few spies, but I got the heart of a retainer, which can be regarded as a harvest." Black Hawk. ”
"Your Excellency." With a loud shout from Masara, a Black Hawk ninja quietly appeared in front of the door of the castle tower.
"Send someone to search carefully around Kishigaku Castle to find the spies of the Otomo family." Although the people sent by the Otomo family have fled, they still have to search for it, and they also have to deliberately make the noise bigger, so that the envoy of the Otomo family, who is hiding in the dark, knows the final decision of the Kakukuma Stone Sect and the determination of its decision. To prevent the Otomo family from not giving up, they still keep sending people to dig the foot of the wall.
"By the way, the surname of the gatekeeper of the Kakukuma Stone Sect should be the appearance of those people in Zhilu Dao, bring him and look it up carefully for me."
"Yes, my lord."
Poor Kakukuma Shizong family, he still doesn't know that another crime is waiting for him.
After instructing Black Eagle to deal with the affairs of the Otomo family, Masara walked to the balcony of the castle tower and looked up at the scenery under Kishidake Castle.
As the strength of the Luo family expanded, the Luo family faced more and more enemies.
Just yesterday, a Moritaka from Kyoto sent back a message that the battle with the Otomo family in the imperial court and the shogunate was still deadlocked. In Masarashi's opinion, the imperial court and the shogunate, who had always liked to make peace with the mud, would definitely not have come to a conclusion so quickly. Now that the prestige of the Imperial Court and the Shogunate has almost dropped to freezing point, no matter what decision they make, it is likely to offend one or both at the same time. Such a thankless thing, they naturally won't do it.
In addition, there are Maori father and son. Judging from the news transmitted from the battlefield, after the return of the pursuit army of the Niko family, there was no news of the death of the Maori father and son, but the strange thing is that the detectives who were ambushed in the Maori family in Masara did not send back the news that the Maori father and son had successfully returned to the territory. Where did the father and son go?
In fact, Masashi has ambivalent thoughts about the Maori family. As a powerful celebrity during the Warring States period and the number one planner in the world, Zhengliang really hopes that Maori Yuan will not be buried so quickly. At least after a bit of competition with yourself, it's not too late to enter the ground. It's just that this kind of thinking is too bloody.
From the enemy's point of view, Masahiro should have hoped that the Maori father and son would disappear, so that the Luo family would have one less enemy in the future.
When I think of the Maori family, I naturally think of the Ouchi family. At this moment, Masahiro also remembered something, so he immediately returned to the desk, wrote a letter by hand, found a detective, and then gave him a detailed order. In this way, soon a war horse carrying a scout rushed to the Chikuzen area.
Just when Masahiro was arranging some territorial affairs in full swing, the Arima family in front of Nanfei was also festive at this time.
Half a month ago, Kikuchi Yoshitake, who had always been unable to stand up, finally showed his strength, and even brought a large number of weapons and a team of subordinates to temporarily join the Arima family. It was when there was a shortage of soldiers and food, and Arima Qingchun was naturally happy.
And today, after a hard battle, Arima finally occupied Gonkangaku Castle, an important stronghold that controlled the entry of Fujitsu County from the land route to Nanhima, and severely reduced the strength of the Saigo family. The retainers of the Arima family were naturally festive. This month, it's really spring with horses.
"My lord, I asked my lord to go once." At this time, a relative samurai suddenly said to Harumi Arima, who was instructing his retainers to clean up the battlefield.
Arima Qingjun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately walked quickly towards the wooden house where Kikuchi Yoshitake was healing. In total, the Arima family and the Kikuchi family have maintained an alliance for several generations. When the Kikuchi family's last generation of orthodox family heads assessed the rebellion, the Arima family also contributed a lot of strength to it. Even now that the Kikuchi family is in the middle of the road, the Arima family still maintains their support for the Kikuchi family.
In the past few years, when Kikuchi Yoshitake fled several times, the Arima family secretly reached out to help. Now it is rare that the current head of the Kikuchi family, Kikuchi Yoshitake, who has always been not very good, rises up once, could it be that he followed the unlucky Kikuchi family's most orthodox head of the later generation, and died after the war because he was seriously injured?
Arima Harumi thought as he walked briskly towards where Kikuchi Yoshitake was.
