Yes, it was the military strength of the Luo family that appeared in the direction of Hakata's west at this time. And the Harada family, who is responsible for guarding this direction, did have an accident.

At the beginning, after receiving the order of Masarashi, Shinnosuke Akabane, who was in Mise Castle, immediately led the second standing ashigaru team over Mise Pass in the Hokuqua Mountains and marched towards Iimori Castle in the Harada family's Uito Prefecture in Chikuzen Province. At the same time, the 5th Standing Ashigaru Brigade, with Akuda as the main general and Watanabe and Kamiyo Katsuri as the deputy generals, also marched from Fukae Takeshi Castle to Takazu Yamajo Castle in Chikuzen Kunishoma County. The 1st Standing Navy Brigade with Murakami Tsuru and Sun Goro as the main generals, and Oyano Tanemitsu and Kamitsuura Tanekyo as the deputy generals was to attack the Haradaya coast in order to cope with the attack of the two armies on the land route.

In an instant, the original situation of the Luo family to prevent the invasion of the Ouchi family changed to the main attack of the Luo family, while the Ouchi family defended. Seeing that the situation on Sugi Xingyun's side was unfavorable, Naito Xingsheng had no choice but to temporarily transfer the Ouchi family's military strength stationed in the Harada family, and then only the Harada family's own military strength was left to hold the territory.

Yes, if the Harada family held on to the territory, the Luo family's military strength would indeed not be able to continue to penetrate deep into the Hakata region. It's just that Shinnosuke Akabane used a divisive tactic and directly instigated Harada Tanemon, the fourth son of the Harada family, to assassinate his third brother Harada Qinxiu and take refuge in the Luo family.

Harada has a total of four sons, the main room is Harada Harada Yoshishige, the second son Harada Sada, and the side room is the third son Harada Hide, and the fourth son Harada Tanemon. The sister-in-law was in the 12th year of the Astronomical Otomo family invasion Hizen, and when the Ouchi family army led by Sugi Xingyun was defeated and fled, he happened to bump into the army of the Luo family who was rushing to the battlefield and was killed by Masaara. And this son also died in the chaos of the army in that great battle. It can be said that Harada lost two sons-in-law all at once.

As a result, the family business could only be inherited by the remaining two sons who were born out of concubines and were not of the same mother, and the third son was naturally the first heir. But about his third brother inheriting the family business. The fourth son has always been obsessed. It's just because of the grandeur of his father Harada. He has never shown it, and even pretended to be a dedicate copy of his brother's inheritance of the family business. Seeing that he was about to serve Yuanfu and then was sent to Zhou Fang to become a small attendant next to Yoshitaka Ouchi, he completely lost the opportunity to inherit the family governor, at this time, the Luo family took the initiative to find the fourth son Harada Tanemen, and showed the head of Harada June, who was trampled to death by the rebels at the foot of Mt. Takara, he immediately took refuge in the Luo family, and with the assistance of the Luo family, he murdered his brother Harada Hide, and his cronies, and at the same time slaughtered the samurai who Naito Xingsheng left in the Harada family. Thoroughly mastered the Harada family.

It's just that before Harada Tanemon celebrates his ascension to the throne of the family governor, he and his cronies were all slaughtered by Shinnosuke Akabane with thunderous means. Shinnosuke Akabane knew the hatred between the Taoist governor Masaro and the Harada family, so after completely controlling the territory of the Harada family, he then launched a massacre of the entire Harada family's males, leaving only the female dependents to wait for the fate of the Harada family.

After dealing with all this, Shinnosuke Akabane ordered the navy to go to Hakata Bay on the one hand, and on the other hand, he personally led the second and fifth standing ashigaru teams to march from the west to Hakata. So there was a scene where Naito Xingsheng saw the Luo family's army approaching. Coupled with the military strength of Shinnosuke Akabane's side, Hakata has been surrounded by the Luo family on three sides at this time, and the only thing that has not been surrounded is the direction of Hakata Bay's exit to the sea, but at this time, the Zongxiang naval army responsible for guarding this place is also in the confrontation with the Luo family naval army that has just arrived.

"Is there still no movement in the direction of Iki Island?" Seeing the army besieging the city. Naito immediately thought of the Bona sailors on Iki Island, who had been in contact with him before. In this raider of the Luo family, Boduo also contributed a lot. First of all, he used the fine work that was ambushed in the Luo family to know in advance that Masato was preparing to attack Bamboo City, so he set up an ambush for Masahiro, and according to the agreement, the naval army of the Hakata family would also come to help. It's just that now, Naito Xingsheng has not seen the shadow of a naval ship of the Bojia family.

"My lord, there is no news yet." The retainers behind him immediately replied. His voice was a little timid at this point. Seeing that there were many Luo family troops outside Hakata City, and the defenders of the Ouchi family in Hakata City were weak, and Hakata was originally a place of commerce and trade, and the city walls were relatively low, it was obviously impossible to withstand the onslaught of the Luo family's army at a low level, although he didn't understand why the Luo family had not launched an attack for a long time, but he was already timid.

Masarashi did not immediately launch an attack on Hakata, naturally, for a purpose. First of all, he intended to show off his might outside the city, so that the power of the Hakata region could see the power of the Luo family, which would help the Luo family's management of Hakata in the future. Secondly, since Hakata was the commercial and economic capital of Kyushu, and he learned from the temple that at this time, in addition to a large number of materials left by other forces in Hakata, there were also a large number of materials that the Ouchi family had secretly scattered and arrived there in order to deal with the Luo family, and Masayo naturally hoped to grab these materials.

It's just that Masarashi underestimated Naito's determination to prosper. Just as he was thinking about how to conquer Hakata, Naito Xingsheng decisively gave the order to evacuate Hakata.

"Huh? My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. At the same time as the order to retreat was given, Naito also gave the order to burn Hakata. As soon as this order came out, it immediately surprised all the retainers. Although everyone knows that this is a decision made by the adults in order to delay the Luo family's pursuit of them, and at the same time do not want to leave the materials that cannot be taken away in a hurry to the Luo family, but such a burn not only burns their own materials, but even burns the materials left in Hakata by other power forces, so that these power forces are offended to death, not only making it easier for the Luo family who entered Hakata to receive Hakata, but also adding a lot of enemies to the Ouchi family.

"I've made up my mind, and I don't need to say more. I will bear all the blame, and I will order the Zongxiang naval army at the mouth of the sea to defend the sea route, and at the same time send a ship to meet us and others. Go down and do it at once. Naito decided after a while.

"This damn Naito is thriving!" When Hakata suddenly rose with thick smoke, Masayo, who had already rushed back to Ori last night, immediately thought of Naito's plan to prosper. He didn't expect Naito to be so resolute at all, and he was almost angry.

"My lord, do you want the army of your family to immediately enter Hakata to pursue, the other party must have fled from the port on board." Shigemasa Yoshida, who was beside him, immediately asked.

"Hmph, there's no need to attack, just let everyone continue to be stationed locally." Masara snorted coldly, and then decided. Perhaps Naito is hoping that the Roshi family will pursue him into Hakata. Although such a pursuit can kill and capture some of the Ouchi soldiers, the soldiers of the Luo family will also suffer losses in the battle and the fire, and at the same time, Naito Xingsheng will put some of the blame for burning Hakata on the Luo family (spreading rumors, accusing the Luo family army that entered Hakata of also participating in the arson), so that the Luo family can share the hatred value.

Moreover, burning Hakata to a blank field, although a lot of materials were lost as a result, it was conducive to the Luo family's complete control of the Hakata region in the future. If Hakata is intact, then when those fleeing forces return to Hakata, Hakata will be a mixed place, and now it is good, the Hakata burned into white ground is naturally re-established by the Luo family, and all the rules inside will naturally be controlled by the Luo family, and what power can be settled in it is also the Luo family's final say. So after weighing the pros and cons, Zhengliang naturally chose to stand still.

"But, my lord, what if those who were also watching nearby asked the family to enter Hakata's pursuit?" After Masarashi decided to stay put, Yoshida Shigemasa immediately continued to ask.

"Let's just say that I am not in the camp, and without my warrant, my army must not move recklessly. As for the other forces, if they plan to enter Hakata, let them enter the passageway. "I want the Luo family to be cannon fodder, but there is no door. If you want to save your own supplies, then let these powerful forces save themselves, such a fire, it's strange if you guys don't burn them to death, Zheng Zheng muttered to himself in his heart.

Yoshida Shigemasa glanced at the main flag of the family representing the governor next to Masashi, but said secretly in his heart: Nima's, isn't the lord talking nonsense with his eyes open? The main flag is here, but it is strange to tell others that it is not there, and people believe it? It's just that with the current strength of the family, even if they say they are not there, what can they say?
