"My lord, the two armies of the Otomo family have arrived at the border of Bungo all the way and are about to enter Chikugo; The other road has also come along the coast of the Toji River in Bungo to the Higo border. In a secret room in Kishigaku Castle, Kansuke Yamamoto reported to Masayoshi with a solemn face.

"Well, there is nothing to worry about all the way to Chikugo, as long as Kinoshita Masanao and Yoshida Shigemasa can hold the castle, this army can only linger on the border. It's just that the army of Higo, if the Otomo family unites the wealthy families of Higo to attack the family again, then the family's territory in Higo will be a little critical. The Kakuma Stone Sect on the side frowned.

"Hmph, this matter is not to be feared, as long as Shinnosuke Akabane and Nobuyin of Enjoji Temple and others can hold on for half a month, the army of the Otomo family will undoubtedly retreat." Masato snorted coldly. Otomo Yoshikan's act of starting a war despite the spring ploughing is simply a sign of annoyance, and he will soon withdraw from the army because of the unsatisfactory attack. If the delay is too long, the peasants in the army will probably flee. Compared with the war of the lord lord, these peasants and soldiers are more concerned about their own fields.

Similarly, for the wealthy families of Higo, in the special period of spring ploughing, they will definitely not actively cooperate with the strategy of the Otomo family. Of course, Masahiro will also be stupid and wait for others to attack, so he must also fight back.

"Deliver the news to the Otomo family, and say that if the Otomo family dares to step into the territory of the Luo family, the family will first take Yoshioka Nagazen's head to sacrifice the flag! Focus on spreading the news to the Yoshioka family's territory. I'd like to see if Otomo Yoshikan dares to go to war with the family at the risk of chilling his retainers and making enemies with the Yoshioka family. Masato commanded.

After a slight pause, Masarashi continued, "It has been widely spread throughout Kyushu that the Otomo family has betrayed its faith and openly tore up the peace treaty that has just been signed. To ruin the reputation of the Otomo family as much as possible. Furthermore. At the same time, rumors were spread in Bungo that the Yoshihiro family and the Kita-Shiga family were at odds with the Otomo family because of the death of the family governor. At the same time, spread rumors that the Great God family would follow in the footsteps of the Immortal Gang and plot rebellion, causing chaos in the territory of the Otomo family. ”

"As for the Higo clans, in the name of Dazai Shaoji, a requisition order was issued, calling on the Higo clans to requisition the treacherous Otomo family."

"Lord, this?" Hearing this, the Kakukuma Stone Sect suddenly became puzzled, now as long as it is a normal person, he will know that this requisition order will definitely not get a response from the wealthy families of the Fat Queen.

"Well, of course I know they won't respond. I'm just providing an excuse for the Higo family not to get involved in the dispute between the Otomo family and the Luo family. Masato said.

Hearing this, Kakuma Ishizong immediately thought for a moment, and then immediately understood Masahiro's intentions. Now the Otomo family and the Luo family are calling on the Higo clan to participate in the conquest of each other.

If it is according to the past, afraid of the strength of the Otomo family, even if the Higo families are unwilling, they will send some troops to show their cooperation. Now that the Luo family has also made such a conquest order, they immediately have an excuse not to participate.

They could have said to the Otomo family, you see, now the Luo family is ordering us to send troops to conquer you with the righteousness of the imperial court, which we will naturally not do, but out of respect for the imperial court. And in order to support your Otomo family's conquest of the Luo family to the greatest extent, we will remain neutral.

Meantime. They also have an explanation for the Luo family. You see, I'm neutral now, it's enough to save face for your Luo family, don't use the excuse of disrespecting orders to beat us in the future.

Of course, it was not enough to rely on such a conscription order, and Masato also had to keep the Higo wealthy clans completely busy, so he continued: "Spread the rumor that the silver mountain was found in Miyahara. ”

"Huh? Lord, this is true, there is really a silver mountain in Higo Miyahara? This time, it was Togo Heiji, who managed the internal affairs of the family, who spoke.

"Hmm." Masara replied affirmatively. According to historical development, Higo's Miyahara Silver Mine and Bungo's Odaira Gold Mine were almost always discovered several years later. The location of Miyahara Ginzan is located on the edge of Higo Kamiyijo-gun, and it is close to the range of the power of the Aishi family and the Kagoko family, and even the inner space family, Nawa family, which is a little further away, can be touched there.

If in the past, when Shimoyijo County was not attacked by the Ichijo clan, the Nawa family, and the Sagara family, then no one really dared to compete with the Omiya family, the overlord of Shimoicheng County, for this silver mountain, but with the chaos there now, the ownership of the silver mountain is a little uncertain.

According to Masahiro's original idea, he planned to develop this silver mountain after occupying Fei in the future, but now the situation forces him, and Masahiro has no choice but to use this silver mountain. I believe that under such a huge temptation, it is impossible for the nearby wealthy families not to be moved, and the situation in Higo will become even more chaotic at that time, so that it will be beneficial for the Luo family to concentrate on dealing with the invasion of the Otomo family and dealing with the rebellion in the territory.

"That's a brilliant plan!" After understanding Masayo's intentions, Kansuke Yamamoto exclaimed.

"Although these strategies of the lord can alleviate the tension faced by the family, but the lord, please forgive your subordinates for saying bluntly, your subordinates think that it is better for the lord to show up as soon as possible, at this time, the rebels in the territory have almost appeared, and there is no need to go on like this." The Kakuma Stone Sect on the side said.

During this period of time, they were indeed under considerable pressure, as one of the few retainers who knew the true situation of Zhengliang Dao, they not only had to be careful not to leak the situation of Zhengliang, but also had to cooperate with Zhengliang to perform the drama well, and at the same time, they also had to secretly carry out Zhengliang's various orders, and make arrangements in advance in order to quickly quell the rebellion. In addition to the above, they have to endure a lot of gossip. After all, some of their previous actions can't help but make people suspect that they are taking the opportunity to control Zhengliang's heirs and usurp the real power of the family.

"Ladies and gentlemen." After listening to Kakukuma Ishizong's complaints, Masarashi looked at the people in the secret room and said, "It's almost time to wipe out all the rebels, please hold on for a little longer." ”

"Oh no." Just as Masara was about to comfort these retainers who were loyal to the Luo family, the little surname Nabeshima Naoshige ran in recklessly.

Although Zhengliang pretended to be unconscious, his daily diet still needs to be taken care of, in this case, ordinary subordinates are naturally inappropriate, so this heavy responsibility falls on the four small surnames around Zhengliang. That's why Naoshige Nabeshima suddenly appeared.

"Why are you so reckless!" Seeing Naoshima's panicked look, Masashi immediately asked unhappily.

"My lord, the third master of Qu Naase Dao, he ...... He ...... again, "Nabeshima Naoshige suddenly knelt on the ground and reported.

"Isn't he going to injure himself again and use himself to try surgery?" Zhengliang immediately asked.

"Lord, yes, Master Xuanzhi is being treated, but he ordered the villain to hurry up and report this matter to the lord." Naoshige Nabeshima said immediately.

"This stupid hat!" Zheng Conscience was speechless. (To be continued......)
