"Well, yes, that's what the Lord wills!" Fei nodded profoundly. At the same time, I have to admire Zhengliang's ability to recognize people.

In fact, Takasaka Masanobu's talent, when Masara stationed Takasaka Masanobu to Kai's side, he told Kai Qinzhi, and hoped that Kai Qinzhi would cultivate more talents for the future pillars of the Luo family. At the beginning, Kai was still a little skeptical about Masahiro's evaluation of Takasaka Masanobu, but after this period of contact, Kai felt that as Masato said, Takasaka Masanobu was indeed a manufacturable material. With such a good general, why is the Luo family not strong?

So, the three of them once again urgently discussed a detailed plan for secretly withdrawing from the army.

On March 20, the 17th year of Astronomy, Kai personally led a large army out of Takao Castle.

After leaving Takao Castle, Kai personally marched steadily and steadily, but quickly and smoothly captured the Kushichi Pass south of Hitoyoshi Castle. Kushichi Pass is an important checkpoint connecting the border of South Higo to the Oguchi Castle of the North Satsuma Ryoka family, and in the past, it was occupied by a small local wealthy family, the Tano family, and after the arrival of the army of Kai, this small wealthy family chose to surrender very honorably, so it was directly transferred to Yatsushiro County by Masaara, and the vicinity of Kushichi Pass was completely reclaimed by the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the checkpoint.

After solving the problem of Kushichi Pass at the border, Kai's army turned around and returned to Hitoyoshi Castle for a short rest, and then marched along the mountain road to the Kukiri Pass on the border between Minamihigo and Osumi Province, and along the way, some small local lands were recovered one by one, and when the army arrived at the Kukiri Pass, it was fiercely resisted by the troops of the Kitahara family guarding the Kukiri Pass.

The Wagaki Pass is located on the border between Minamihigo and Kitasuki. Due to the towering mountains on both sides of it. It can be described as a natural danger that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After several days of fruitless fighting, Kai had no choice but to retreat, and established a new checkpoint in the Kusuke Valley opposite the Kukiri Pass with the help of the terrain to warn the Kitahara family army behind the Kokiri Pass.

After the establishment of the Suggestion Wooden Fortress in the Kusuke Valley, there was basically no strong local power in the West Ball Mill County, which was already occupied by the Luo family, and the small local lands that did not give in were uprooted along the way of the army, and the lands that were willing to give in were forcibly transferred to other places. At the same time, the domains of some of the Luo family's retainers and samurai were also rewarded as military merits, and when Kai's army returned to the Ishino area, not far from Hitoyoshi Castle, the Cabinet was already in full swing to settle them.

At this time, a lot of troops from Higashi-choma County were also gathered in the Ishino area. It is impossible for the series of conquests in Xiqiumo County by Jia Fei not to attract the attention of these wealthy families. When it was learned that the army of Kai had marched into the Ishino area, the army composed of the wealthy clans of Dongqiumo County immediately assembled at the border.

At this time, it was already mid-April, and in the spring ploughing season, this series of actions made the wealthy families in Dongqiumo County miserable. And this is also a strategy of Zhengliang, this time the strategic policy of Dongqiumo County is mainly to harass, so that the other party can not feel at ease for spring ploughing. Then they sent detectives into their area to vigorously promote the laws of the Luo family, attracting local troubled peasants to settle in the area controlled by the Luo family. Meantime. In order to cooperate with the secret transfer of Jia Fei and others, this time the strategy momentum should be made as big as possible, so as to confuse the heroes of Kyushu.

And in order to make the play more realistic, in the previous series of strategies, Yoshikawa Kotsune was the one who showed his face the most, while Kai and Takasaka Masano only showed their faces occasionally, so when Kai and Takasaka Masano suddenly disappeared from everyone's eyes, no one even noticed it.

In mid-May, while Yoshikawa Kokei was still quite aggressively entangled with the local wealthy clans in Higashi-Kyuma-gun, Kai Shinnao and Takasaka Masanobu had already dispersed to Takatsuka Castle in Yatsushiro-gun.

At this time, the camp of the Otomo family and the camp of the Kikuchi family had already fought each other several times. The two sides won and lost each other, and the war lasted until the beginning of June, and it was about to enter the middle of summer, and Otomo Yoshikan could not sit still, so he replaced the general of the Otomo coalition army, Takita Kensheng, who had not achieved much, and replaced it with Toji Kanren, who had been temporarily summoned from Chikugo, as the general general.

As a famous general who will be called "Thor" in the future, his ability naturally has two hits, and soon Toji Kanren let the Kikuchi family coalition suffer two defeats in a row, and forced the Kikuchi family coalition army to Hibikinohara in the village. This move of Toji Kenren is almost equivalent to forcing the Kikuchi family coalition army to fight a decisive battle with the Otomo family coalition army.

Because Hibikino in the village, you actually arrived at the Midorikawa River. There is a ferry port located on the bank of the Hiwase River, from which you can quickly reach Kenshida Castle in Shimoijo-gun, and the entire coast of Midorikawa is the nest of the Ichisu, Nawa, and Nagawa families, once they cross the Midorikawa to the south bank, it not only means that the Kikuchi family, the Kako family, and the Aishi family will lose their territory on the north bank of the Midorigawa River, but the Ichimune and Nawa families will also be beaten to the doorstep. So this time, the Kikuchi family's coalition can be said to be fighting against the water.

On June 20, the allied forces of the Kikuchi family lined up on the north bank of Midorikawa. Among them, the general of the Kikuchi family is Kikuchi Yoshitake himself, and the deputy general is Ryuzoji Takanobu, a total of more than 200 troops; The military strength of Ichijo Sect was served by Honganji Shoyi himself as the general, and because he had lost a lot of soldiers before, this time he risked the emptiness of the garrison of the base camp Kenshida Castle and urgently dispatched most of the guards in the city to him, which barely raised enough troops for 300 people.

In terms of other wealthy families, the head of the Minghe family will be Minghe Wutou himself, with an army of 200 people; The military leader of the Luzimu family is the family governor of the family, and the important ministers of the family of the relatives of the Luzimu family have Luzimu Town; The main commander of the Hezhi family's army will be Hezhiqin, and the deputy will be his important minister Dao Anqiu, and the army will be more than 100 people. The rest of the small wealthy families such as Honda, Yoshida, Tanaka, Ama, Kona, and Kuroki together have more than 300 people.

The entire Kikuchi family coalition army totaled more than 1,200 people. As for the Otomo family's coalition army, as the head snake of the land, the main general this time is Aso Weifeng himself, who has just recovered from illness, and he has almost concentrated most of the Aso family's military strength this time, with more than 500 troops.

On the Otomo family's side, the main general was Toji Kenren, and the deputy generals were Imanda Kenmi and Shiga Kantaka, with an army of more than 1,000 people. Combined, there are more than 1,500 people in the Otomo family's coalition army.

Just when the two armies were about to fight off in Hibikinohara, Masarashi also secretly came to the vicinity of the battlefield of the battle between the two armies.
