In October of the first year of Hongzhi (1555), the Luo family raised a large army of the Nine Routes, and attacked the four countries of Zhoufang, Nagato, Aki, and Bigo and their surrounding areas.

The aforementioned five armies were sent out by land, while the next few armies were attacked by water.

The Sixth Route Army is the first standing naval army under the solemn command of Murakami. This army was responsible for clearing the Seto Inland Sea and the Iyu Beach from other maritime forces. Due to the fact that in the First Battle of Itsukushima, the strongest local naval forces such as the Mishima Murakami Naval Army, the Mori Iekawauchi Police Force, and the Kono Family Naval Army were all wiped out, so at this time, it is estimated that only some of the Konojia naval forces and some other weak sea bandits are left, so this army will easily control the waters in this area.

After controlling the waters in this area, this naval army will make a posture of landing and attacking along the coast of the Kono family, forcing the Kono family not to dare to move, and avoiding the joint harassment of the Luo family's stronghold in the Jinye Port of the Luo family in Yiyu Province with some forces of the Kono family and Shikoku.

In fact, Masara's prediction was indeed very correct, and after learning that his own Imaye Port and the nearby Takasenyama Castle and Kokubun Yamajo Castle were suddenly conquered by the Luo family one after another one day and one night, the Kono family immediately withdrew the troops that were fighting against the Saitoji family at the border. Although the Kono family did not know the specific situation of the battle of Itsukushima in the province at this time, after learning that several days had passed, and the navy that the family had sent to support the Maori family had not returned, and the Luo family had suddenly occupied the situation in the Imaye Port area, the hub connecting the Kono family and the Maori family, the Kono family already had a bad premonition at this time.

Moreover, the Luo family, which was the overlord of Kyushu, suddenly landed on the coast of Yiyu Province and mastered the stronghold. This also shocked many wealthy families of the Yiyu Kingdom, including the Kono family. They all have a sense of self-endangerment. Afraid that the Roche family would take the opportunity to invade the Shikoku region. And the Kono family also took this opportunity to send people to contact the nearby wealthy families (the invasion of the Luo family instead prompted the originally somewhat divided Kono family to unite), trying to unite these wealthy families to confront the Luo family. At this time, the Luo family's naval army's attack on the coastal waters of Yiyu Country and the posture of landing at any time suddenly made the Kono family nervous.

What made the Kono family even more troublesome was that at this time, the Luo family's allies, the Xitu Temple family, also seemed to be deliberately echoing each other with the Luo family's navy, in addition to sending their own navy to appear along the coast of Uwajima Bay (the bay is connected to the Yiyu Bay where the Luo family's navy was attacking), they also continued to harass at the land border. As a result, the Kono family's original plan to use the instigated coalition of local wealthy clans to recapture Imaye Port had to be postponed for the time being.

The Seventh Route Army is the second standing naval army where Guna Tong is located. This army will make every effort to clear the remaining naval forces on the coast of An Yi Country, Zhou Fang Country, and Nagato Province in Anyun Bay and Zhou Fang Beach. At the same time, it is ready to support the various army teams that are fighting in the local areas of An Yi Country, Zhou Defense Country and Nagato Province at any time.

After the objectives of these two armies are completed. Then the Seto Inland Sea, Anyi Bay, Zhoufang Beach, Iyu Beach, and Beppu Bay, which are located between Kyushu Island, Honshu Island, and Shikoku, will completely become the sea areas controlled only by the Roche Navy. Since then, it has basically become the inland sea of the Luo family.

The Eighth Route Army is the Fourth Standing Water Army led by Murakami Takeyoshi. This army will first be responsible for transporting the Fifth Route Army under the command of Kaneji to the border area between Bigo Province and Aki Province, and then launch a strategy to attack the Suitan along the coast of Bigo Province and compete for control of the sea area in this area. However, it should be noted that if it is not the other party who takes the initiative to provoke you, for the time being, try to avoid engaging with the Miyoshi family Awaji naval army, which will also appear in Suitana. Of course, if the other party takes the initiative to provoke. Then we must attack fiercely, and we must not weaken the momentum of the Luo family.

The Ninth Route Army. It is the local army of Zhengliang. This way the army will attack by land and water. On the land side, it was led by Masarashi, and the troops mainly consisted of the Cloak Clan, the Samurai Clan, the Iron Cannon Clan, part of the Luo family's reserve peasant troops, and the remaining Maori family combined forces that surrendered to the Luo family. Masara and the others will land in the Iwakuni area at the junction of Zhou Fangguo and Anyi Kingdom, and then begin to attack all parts of Zhou Fangguo.

As for the waterway, Li Huamei will be the main general, and he will lead his huge fortune ship and other ships to be on standby in the waters near the Masato land army, ready to support Masayo's army at any time.

As a result, after the First World War of Itsukushima, with the simultaneous departure of the Luo family's nine-way army, the Luo family's white background and black striped eagle banner carried the angry waves of Itsukushima's great victory, and attacked Zhou Defense Kingdom, Nagato Kingdom, Anyi Kingdom, Bigo Kingdom and their surrounding areas. The western country of the Japanese kingdom and the Sanyang Province area have since been "earth-shaking and generous".

At this time, because the waters near the First Battle of Itsukushima had been blocked, the final result of the First Battle of Itsukushima had not yet been reported. Zhengliang hopes to take advantage of the fact that the surrounding powerful people learn of this news and take action, and quickly carry out the Luo family's actions against the Zhoufang, Nagato, Anyi, and Bigo areas, so as to avoid the influence of the outside world on this strategy.

It's just that the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny. Not long after Masarashi landed in the Iwakuni area of Zhou Fangguo, the family's intelligence cabinet sent two urgent letters.

The first urgent letter was the news of the Shimazu family's sudden attack on the Kita-Satsuma region.

Masarashi naturally didn't know that the Shimazu family had deduced from his previous actions that the Luo family would intervene in the Itsukushima War, and fell into the quagmire of wrestling with the Ouchi family and the Maori family, and the Masara family didn't know how to do it, because of the rapid expansion of the Luo family over the years, it had completely made the Shimazu family and other surrounding powerful names nervous, so as long as the timing was right, they would take the risk and fight hard, cherishing every opportunity to expand their own strength to avoid being powerless in the face of the invasion of the Luo family in the future.

On October 4, the Shimazu family suddenly began a large-scale invasion of the area under the pretext that they had been invaded by the wealthy clans of Northern Satsuma and fought back. By this time, the area was already in the midst of fierce fighting. In addition to introducing the attack of the Shimazu family, the letter also specifically mentioned that the Shimazu family may have secretly formed an alliance with the Ito family of Hyuga Province. Because on the same day that the Shimazu family attacked, the Ito family, who were violently attacking the Kitago family in Nanri, suddenly turned their guns and invaded the territory of the Kitahara family on the other side. The Intelligence Pavilion deduced that the Ito family's surprise move was an attempt to encroach on the Kitahara family's territories in Hyuga and Osumi in order to connect with the Shimazu family's territory, which was invading Kita-Satsuma and even Nishi-Osumi.
