Regarding the changes in Oda Nobunaga's family, the Luo family detective who was lurking in Owari Province collected this information as soon as possible, and prepared to send it back to Kyushu at the end of the year for Masarashi to review.

And Masa's side has also begun to prepare to send troops to the eastern part of Fengqian Province and the northeastern part of Fenggo Province. For some time, under the calculations of the Luo family's several schemes, the two regions have fallen into chaos. The northeastern part of Bungo Province was managed by Otomo Yoshijin to avoid large-scale turmoil, but in the southeastern part of Bungo Province, due to the lack of talented generals, each family fought on its own, which eventually led to varying degrees of riots in their respective territories.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhengliang immediately decided to go out of the two places. This time, the Luo family's strategy for these two places was divided into six armies.

The First Route Army marched from Sangukuji Temple in Chikujo-gun, Toshimae Province, and attacked Kamimo-gun, which was occupied by the Kamimoyamada family. The general of this army is Yoshida Shigemasa, the deputy generals are Takeuchi Hisamori, Kamiyo Victory, Ueda Shinji, Kuroki Minori, and the military eye is the one-eyed dragon of the Luo family, Luo clan Masamune. In addition, he also worked with Yoshida Shigemasa's retainer Anto Ietada, Toshi Setsu, Yubu Yuji and others. In terms of military strength, there are 500 standing ashigaru units and 1,500 peasants and soldiers, for a total of 2,000 people.

The second route army set out from Moji Port, with the naval army as the main force, waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with the strategy of the first route army to invade and sneak attack the coastal areas in the southeast of Toyozen Province. The main general will be Murakami solemn, and the deputy generals Oyano Tanemitsu, Kamitsuura Tanekyū, Tsuruta Nao, Ariura Town, and Kankinaki. In terms of military strength, the first detachment of the navy had 400 standing sailors, 600 temporary peasant soldiers, and 20 ships. Forty ships in the morning.

Furthermore. The military advisor Kansuke Yamamoto will serve as the military division of the two armies. Assist in coordinating the joint operations of the two armies. There are also lieutenant generals Andel, Takasaka Masanobu and others. In terms of military strength, there are 300 standing cavalry of the second standing cavalry, 200 iron cannons of the iron artillery team, and three large cylinders specially arrived from Hizen Kokugakufu Castle. There were more than 500 logistical peasants and soldiers, as well as heralds and others.

As a result, the first and second armies alone had more than 4,000 troops.

The Third Route Army set out from Hikyu Castle in Hita Prefecture in Bungo Province and attacked along the Yama River and the mountain road from Mt. Yufutake to Shimo-gun, which was controlled by the Nakake of Bunzen Kunino. The main commander will be Kinoshita Masanao, the deputy will be Kobun Shigetada, Watanabe Tsuri, Tetsunosuke, Inudo Ryan, Takeuchi Hisakatsu, and the military head will be Roshi Masahide. In terms of military situation. There are more than 900 standing personnel of the 1st Standing Ashigaru Brigade, peasants and soldiers, and other logistics personnel.

The Fourth Route Army marched from the Castle of Hinati in Kuju County of Bungo Province, and they attacked Usa-gun along the mountain road from Mt. Fufu to Usa-gun, which was controlled by wealthy clans such as the Toyozen Kunisugi family and the Usa Omiya family. The main commander will be Akuta, the deputy generals Asakura Muneta, Shimahara Junshige, Fukuda Nobukiyo, and the military commander will be Kawada Yoshiro. In terms of military strength, there are more than 900 standing troops of the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Brigade, peasants and soldiers, and other logistics personnel.

In addition, the military advisor Kakukuma Ishizong will serve as the military division of the third and fourth armies, and will be responsible for coordinating the strategies of the two armies. The two armies totaled more than 3,000 men.

The Fifth Route Army marched from Takasakiyama Castle, Oita Prefecture, Bungo Province, and was to attack along the coast of Beppu Bay towards Otomo's stronghold in Ami-gun, Kamei-Etsu Castle. The main general is Tomohisa Oishi, the deputy general Yoshikawa Kokyo, the questioning note is Jianjing, the well bottom Fufang, the Rufa Temple Terunori, and the military head Fu Luo Sasuke. In terms of military strength, there are 500 standing members of the 4th Standing Ashigaru Brigade and 1,500 peasants and soldiers.

The Sixth Route Army set out from the port under Tsurazaki Castle in Kaibe County, Bungo Province. The purpose is to use the naval army as the main force and wait for the opportunity to cooperate with the strategy of the Fifth Route Army. Raids on the northeastern coastal areas of Bungo Province. Takeyoshi Murakami and Wakabayashi Echigo were the main generals, and Ukyu Junding, Uto Yukyoko, and Ariurataka were the deputy generals, and they were in charge of 30 ships and 50 ships. In terms of military strength, there are 300 standing naval troops and 700 peasant soldiers.

Under Masayo, there were also lieutenant generals Isono Motomasa, Mitsukiyo Akagu, Tadao Nakamoto, Yoshimi Irita, Toshimasa Honda, Hidemasa Akimine, Michiyuki Tachibana, Nagabo Shiroi, Takataka Hatata, Takashi Aokei, Sagara Takeren, and Ryosen Takatoyo.

Tachibana Michiyuki, Joi Nagabo, Hatatoka, Aokei Takashi, Sagara Takeren, and Cold Spring Takatoshi are all new to the Luo family, and this time Masahiro took them with him, mainly to let these people experience the majesty of the Luo family's military power. Among them, Lengquan Takatsu was in accordance with the order of Ouchi Yoshitaka before his death, and brought Ouchi Yoshizun and others to join the Luo family.

After escaping under the deliberate cover of Yoshitaka Ouchi, he took Yoshizun Ouchi to live in seclusion in Toyoura-gun, Nagato Province, while secretly gathering the other people who had scattered and fled that day. Later, after the Luo clan occupied the southern area where the Kanmen Strait in Fengpu County was located, he took everyone to join the Luo family. Masayoshi then left Ryosen Takatoyo by his side to investigate, and as for Ouchi Yoshizun, Kohata Yoshimi, and Nijo Yoshitoyo, several children were accepted as Masayo's small surnames. The rest of the Ouchi retainers were assigned to various positions in the territory.

This time, in addition to the above-mentioned people, there were also people with the military surnames Shimazu Yoshihiro, Eriguchi Nobutsune, Hyakuza Kenkane, Narimatsu Nobukatsu, Yamanaka Yukimori and others. As for Kato Duanzo, Fei Duan, Ahri, Takahashi Shaoyun and others, who have always followed Masara's side, they have another task, and they have already infiltrated the territory of the Otomo family in advance according to Masara's instructions.

As the army of Masahiro, there are mainly 100 cloaks, 400 samurai standing samurai, 400 standing cavalry, 200 iron cannons, and more than 300 others, such as heralds. In addition, this army also carried two large cylinders.

The Fifth and Sixth armies together had a total strength of nearly 4,500 men. And this time the Luo family's strategy, the six-way army attacked and dispatched nearly 12,000 troops, which can really be described as a blow from the Luo family's full strength.

This time, the six armies did not attack at the same time, but attacked separately according to the tasks of each army. And it was the Third Route Army that fired the first shot of this raider.

Why was the Third Route Army the first to go into battle? The reason is that at this time, Kamimo County in Bunzen Province was the place where the riots were the most severe. In addition, Ichinoto Castle, the gateway to Bungo Province in Kamimo County, seems to have been blocked by a large group of displaced people recently, because these displaced people have asked to go from the Ichinoto Castle checkpoint to the territory of the Luo family in Bungo Province. However, due to his young and vigorous youth, the city lord Ye Yi Kanefang not only did not agree to the demands of these homeless, but even killed several homeless people who made trouble on the spot. This immediately angered the displaced people outside the city, who took up wooden sticks, bamboo guns and other weapons to riot. At this time, it is naturally the best time for the Luo family to attack.

Under the leadership of Kinoshita Masanao, the Third Route Army set out from Higashi Castle in Bungo Province, and quickly arrived at the last checkpoint of the Luo family, Yama Creek, along the mountain marching road that had been built by the slave army of the Luo family in recent years.

Yama Creek is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yamakuni River, which flows into the southeastern region of Bunzen Province and has an alluvial plain area in the area, and the area is a calcareous lava terrain that has been cut by the flow of water to form a valley terrain, including Honyama Stream, Riyama Stream, Deep Yama Stream, and Oyema Stream, all of which are named after Yama Stream. Later, it was even selected as one of the three scenic spots in the Japanese Kingdom, and the area around it was designated as "Yama Hida Hidehiko Quasi-National Park".

At this time, Yema Creek, like a turquoise gem embedded in the mountain forest, polished a sparkling light on the ripples. According to Kinoshita Masanao and others who arrived here, there is indeed no fertile land along Yama Creek. If the population is sufficient, a large area of land may be reclaimed, but in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, there are still many people cultivating the fertile land along the coast of such as the Ono River in Bungo Province, as for the Yema Creek deep in the mountains and forests, only some people who try to escape the world will come to settle down, so the Luo family checkpoint located here is actually not very populated, and the more than 200 Luo family troops stationed in the local area have already accounted for more than half of the local population.

After a short rest at Yema Creek, the army immediately continued its advance. From here, it is close to the border of Bunzen Province, so the mountain road here has not been built by the slave team of the family, and the mountain road is rugged and overgrown.

The army had to send people to beat the weeds with sticks to alarm the snakes and beasts that were dormant in them (mainly to drive away the snakes in the grass), and to clear the weeds that blocked their path, and slowly moved forward, and soon they came to the backmost valley before entering the border of Kamimo County in Bunzen Province.

The sun had already risen in the sky, but when Kinoshita Masanao and his party stepped into the valley, they felt cold and silent, and the primeval forest was so deep and silent. The towering mountains and forests block the view of everyone.

There are mostly ravines and ravines several meters deep in the valley, and it is difficult to climb up without dying, so everyone has to move slowly and cautiously. At this time, although everyone had the intention to speed up, they couldn't go too fast, but fortunately, there shouldn't be many such mountain trails. The footsteps of the crowd creaked among the weeds, and they went all the way around and forward, over a hill or two, and gradually became rough as they went.

As soon as they stepped out of a valley, a vast field appeared before them, and a small river flowing from the mountain flowed through the fields. In front of the field is a hill built on a hillside. In fact, this hill was only built at the border and served as a warning. At this time, several of the guards in the fortress were chatting idly there.

"Pay attention to hiding, send someone to touch it and kill the guards on that place first." Seeing this, Kinoshita Masanao immediately ordered in a low voice. (To be continued......)
