In Sugimoto Castle, the home city of the Akizuki family in Yasu-gun, Chikuzen Province, Kyushu, Kamiya Sause, as the envoy of the Luo family, is stating the conditions for peace between the Akizuki family and the Luo family.

"Completely withdraw from the Yasu County, and recognize the rule of the family over the upper seat, the lower seat, and the three Yasu counties. Surrender all the castles in the three counties of the ancient mountain castle and Sugimoto castle. ”

Kamiya Sakure first mentioned the conditions for the Akizuki family to give up the Yasu-gun, especially the need to control Sugimoto Castle and Koji Mountain Castle. Sugimoto Castle naturally doesn't need to say much, since it is the main city of the Akizuki family, it is naturally necessary to control it completely. As for the ancient mountain town, it is also very important. It is located at the foot of the ancient mountain range of the Sangunsan mountain range, which divides Chikuzen Province into eastern and western parts from north to south, and controls the mountain artery from Yosu County in the Chikushi Plain in the west of Chikuzen Province to the Kama and Hoba Counties in the Chikuga Plain in the east of Chikuzen Province. It is a place where soldiers must fight, and in order to ensure the safety of the Luo family's territory in the western part of the Chikuzen country, this walled city must be controlled by the Luo family.

"Send the house-sister and her children to our house as hostages." After talking about the conditions of the territory, Kamiya Shaoce paused slightly, and said the most difficult conditions.

Before leaving, Kamiya Shaoce had discussed with Masara whether to ask the Akizuki family to send their son-in-law or send their second son as a hostage. After weighing it up, Masara finally gave up the original request for the Qiuyue family to send his son-in-law, and asked him to send his second son instead. After all, after Kamiya Shaoce's humiliation of the Qiuyue family today, the side room Zhiji from the Kamiya family will definitely be angered by the other retainers of the Qiuyue family, which will then affect the healthy growth of her children in the Qiuyue family in the future, and Shenwu Shaoce will naturally not allow this kind of thing to happen. Masahiro did take this into account. Furthermore. This time it can be said that the Qiu Yue family is bleeding profusely. If you want him to give up his son-in-law, it is obviously a bit difficult.

So, in order to better win over the Kamiya family, Kamiya Shaoce has been guaranteed by Masahiro, and after returning to the Luo family, Jiji's mother and son will live in the Kamiya family. When Ji-hee's son grows up to the age of six, he will become Masaryo's nickname and stay by Masara's side. This is equivalent to being able to receive Masayo's personal education like Nabeshima Naoshige and others, which is the gilded road to becoming an important retainer of the Luo family in the future. Even Zhengliang promised that in the future, the Luo family would support Ji-hee's child to become the governor of the Qiuyue family. After all, for the Luo family, a pro-Luo family's Qiuyue family governor is more in line with the interests of the Luo family.

"If peace is negotiated, what will be the benefit to our family?" Seeing that Shenwu Shaoce finished talking about the peace conditions, Qiu Yue Wenzhong immediately asked. Although the Qiuyue family is at a disadvantage at this time, for the sake of the family's interests, and in order to appease the retainers, the Qiuyue family must strive for the interests of the Qiuyue family as much as possible.

"The family immediately formed an alliance with the Qiuyue family and opened a safe passage. Make sure that the Akizuki family can move their troops from the three counties of Nightbeard, Upper Seat, and Lower Seat, and lead the people away. If the Qiuyue family is attacked by other enemies in the future, the Luo family will send troops to help. When necessary. We can also exchange strategic goods with you. ”

After listening to Shenwu Shaoce's statement, Qiu Yue Wenzhong was silent for a quarter of an hour, and only then did he say:

"This matter is very important, and I would like to ask Lord Kamiya to let me think about it for a while."

"This matter is understood, but I still ask Lord Akizuki to make a decision as soon as possible. The actions of the family's military forces outside the city will not stop just because I stay here. Hearing this, Shenya Shaoce nodded, and reminded Qiuyue Wenzhong to hurry up and think about it, so as not to delay the time of both parties. After all, time at this time is precious to both parties. If the peace negotiation is successfully reached, the Qiuyue family can quickly return to the territory in the eastern region of the Zhuqian Kingdom, and the Luo family can continue to rapidly expand the results of the war.

After Shenwu Shaoce left the council hall, Qiu Yue Wenzhong glanced at all the retainers, and then said:

"What do you think about the peace?"

Faced with Qiu Yuewen's questioning, everyone in the council hall was silent at this time. No one seems to want to speak first.

"Saburo Guard, let's talk about it."

"Lord!" Seeing that Qiuyue Wenzhong asked himself first, Ida Qinyuki had no choice but to bow to the former first, and then said, "Is the matter of the Ouchi family's battle credible?" He didn't answer Qiu Yue's original question, but instead asked a new question. And this issue is precisely the one that everyone is most concerned about.

"Imatsuro." Akizuki did not answer Ida directly, but instead asked Yoshibe Yasumori on the side. The latter is almost the most strategicistic person among the many retainers of the Autumn Moon literary genre.

"My lord, I'm afraid that the Ouchi family is really going into battle." In fact, with a little analysis, it is not difficult to come to such a conclusion. What's more, does the Qiuyue family really dare to bet on the truth of this news? When Akizuki Wenzhong asked himself, Yoshibe Yasui Shouzhi Dao Lord had actually made the decision to negotiate peace, and now he was just looking for himself to solve the siege. Or rather, the sovereign is now asking him to find a reason for it. Find a reason to make peace with the Luo family so that you can appease the retainers.

As far as the sovereign is concerned, it is absolutely impossible to say that he is ready to make peace with the Luo family in the first place. Because once peace is negotiated with the Luo family, it indicates that the peace conditions of the Luo family will be accepted. In this way, not only the family of the sovereign will be forced to move, but also the families of all the people in the council hall. This has already touched the vital interests of the retainers, and if Qiu Yue Wen expressed his position at this time, it was likely to cause dissatisfaction among the retainers. So Yoshibe Yasakimori became the spokesperson of the Akizuki genre.

"If the family can repel the Luo family or force the Luo family to fight before the Ouchi family goes out, it will naturally be fine." Sure enough, after Yoshibe Yasakimori said the above words, some of the retainers immediately said. They still cling to the last vestiges of illusions.

"Hehe, do you think this family can repel the Luo family's army?" Yoshibe Yasushi was laughing angrily this time. As soon as these words came out, even Mino Fukae, who had always been hot-tempered and brave, was silent. Not to mention repelling the Luo family, it is difficult to even defend Sugimoto Castle now.

"If you don't want to make peace, you can leave your family here, and I think Hizen Eagle will accept you." Yoshibe Yasumoru said again. When everyone heard this, they immediately frowned. Will the Roche family accept us? Is this possible? Even the most generous lord would not allow the retainer families of other noble clans to live in his territory. If they stay here, the only thing that awaits them is submission or annihilation.

As a result, around whether to accept the conditions of the Luo family and negotiate peace with the Luo family, there was a continuous debate in the council hall of the Akizuki family, but under the guidance of Akizuki Wen and Yoshibe Yasumoru, the topic gradually changed from whether to accept the peace to what peace conditions to accept.

In the evening, Kamiya Sausei finally returned to the Luo family's camp outside Sugimoto Castle with Akizuki Wengen's reply.

"Lord, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" After seeing Masahiro, Shenya Shaoce immediately replied.

"Oh? It seems that the Qiuyue family chose to compromise? Masara smiled and said, "It's just that you may not agree to the family's conditions so easily, right?" ”

"The Lord God counts!" Shenwu Shaoce took the opportunity to pat himself on the back, and then said seriously: "Regarding the matter of letting go of the city, the Qiuyue family hopes to hand over after the family completely withdraws from the three counties. ”

"Hehe, I'm still worried that my family will treacherously take advantage of their migration to sneak attack! This condition can be agreed to them, but the ancient mountain castle must be handed over to the family first. Masato said. As long as they control the ancient mountain city and cut off the connection between the three counties of the Qiuyue family's Yesu and the two counties of Jiama and Suibo across the mountain, no matter what tricks the Qiuyue family is playing, the Luo family will not be afraid.

"Regarding the external statement to recognize the family's rule over the three counties of Yasu, Shangza, and Xiaza, the Qiuyue family categorically refused."

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Zhengliang nodded, and agreed to the conditions of the Qiuyue family. For ordinary wealthy families, after the territory is occupied, they have to publicly declare the legitimacy of the enemy's rule over their own occupied territory, which obviously damages their own prestige, and the Qiuyue family will naturally not agree. Zhengliang can also understand this, in fact, as long as the Qiuyue family is willing to take the initiative to withdraw from Yesu County and no longer hinder the Luo family's next step, Zhengliang's purpose has been achieved, and it is not impossible to agree to these subtle conditions.

"Regarding the alliance between the two families, the Qiuyue family hopes to carry it out secretly."

"Hmph, are you still unwilling to openly break with the Ouchi family? Still planning to curry favor with both sides? As soon as Masara heard this, he knew the plan of the Qiu Yue family, which was nothing more than that he did not plan to openly break with the Ouchi family, and at the same time secretly maintain an alliance with the Luo family to obtain the greatest benefits from the two camps.

"Well, let him go."

Masara thought for a while, and finally agreed to the request of the Qiuyue family. At present, the main goal of the Luo family is to seize the western part of Chikuzen Province, as for the eastern part of Chikuzen Country, first, because it is blocked by the Sanjun Mountain Range, it is difficult to attack and govern; The second is that at this time, if the Luo family plans to enter the eastern region of Chikuzen Country, the only way is through the territory of the Qiuyue family, which will inevitably conflict with the Qiuyue family again, which is even more popular with the Ouchi family, and it also affects the Luo family's strategy of competing to expand the results of the battle, which is naturally undesirable; The third is that the eastern region of Chikuzen Province is directly connected to the Bunzen Province controlled by the Ouchi family, and it is very easy to attract the attack of the Ouchi family, and before fully controlling the western part of Chikuzen Province, Masayo does not plan to fall into a battle with the Ouchi family, after all, there are still many tigers and wolves around the Luo family.

The most important thing is that after this incident, the rift between the Akizuki family and the Ouchi family can no longer be filled. Therefore, the Autumn Moon family is a buffer zone deliberately left by Masayo and the Ouchi family, and it is even more of a nail.

Of course, because the Qiu Yue family was so persecuted this time, the Qiu Yue family would not have a good face towards the Luo family. It's just the lesser of two evils. All the Qiuyue literature that focuses on interests is naturally Zhilu Dao, and it should move closer to that side.
