A round of red sun gradually rose from the sea in the east, it was already early in the morning, the fog on the city of Wofu was much thinner, Zhengliang stood on the hill where the main formation was not far from the city, and saw the army of the Luo family in the distance like a mountain and a sea.

The Luo family's army in the distance moved one after another, and one by one the Luo family's siege troops were ready and waiting at the bottom of the mountain. On the mountain road, another group of Feihou Xiaohao army who attacked the mountain as a vanguard rushed forward, and the banners behind them swayed like a dense forest.

This is already the second day that the Luo family's army has launched a siege battle against the city. Yesterday, there was a fierce battle, and he almost captured the outer pills of the castle. Of course, the reason why it didn't succeed in the end was because the main force of the attack yesterday was the military strength of the small wealthy clans and small lands in Kikuchi and Yamaga counties. With their strength, they really don't expect them to be able to capture the city.

The reason why Masara let these people take the lead is to let them know who is the boss of Kikuchi County and Yamaga County now, and second, to take the opportunity to weaken their strength and let them fight to the Kikuchi family in the city first. At the same time, by the way, the morale of the defenders in the city was hit. After all, when the soldiers in the city saw the banners of many local wealthy families they were familiar with, they would imagine that they were already enemies on all sides at this time.

"So Kikuchi Yoshitake is making peace?" Masara looked at the mist from afar, and then said majestically.

"Yes, the villain was ordered by Kikuchi Yoshitake-sama to express his peace to Dazai Shaoji. The family thinks that the biggest enemy of your two sides at present should be the Otomo family and the Higo wealthy families who belong to the Otomo family. The two of us should join hands to attack the common enemy of these two families. And not infighting here. Not far behind Zhengliang, a middle-aged man who was being guarded by the two Luo family cloaks immediately said in a low voice.

"Common enemies? Ha Lu haha...... "After Zhengliang heard this, there was a big laugh. Then he suddenly turned to stare at the envoy sent by Kikuchi Yoshitake and said, "If the two families have a common enemy, then why did the Kikuchi family suddenly send troops to attack the Higo Pass Ninja who were hired by the family?" Why did the Kikuchi family get out of the way and let the Otomo family reinforcements calmly arrive in Kikuchi County? Even when the family invited the Kikuchi family to jointly send troops to flank the Higo coalition army, it was a long time to get a response from the Kikuchi family? ”

"This?" The envoy sent by Kikuchi Yoshitake was suddenly speechless by Masayo.

"Go back and tell Kikuchi Yoshitake that the treacherous people can't make people believe that Kikuchi County can only have the Luo family and not the Kikuchi family from now on. ! Zhengliang scolded. Kikuchi Yoshitake, a brainless guy, wants to re-ally with the Luo family at this time, which is simply a fool's dream.

"Yes. Yes, the villain must bring the words to the lord of the family! Seeing that Masara was so angry, the envoy of the Kikuchi family immediately said, and then turned around and prepared to slip away.

"Wait!" At this moment, Masayo's voice came again.

The envoy of the Kikuchi family was stunned for a moment, and his heart was immediately happy, could it be that this Hizen Eagle temporarily changed his mind?

"Come, pull him down and cut off one of his ears."

"Huh? Dazai Shaoji spares his life, spares his life! After hearing Masayo's words, the envoy of the Kikuchi family was like a thunderbolt from the sky. Immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. However, Masara didn't look at the messenger out of the corner of his eye, but continued to say loudly: "This is a small punishment for the perfidy of the Kikuchi family. When he breaks the castle in the future, I will personally cut off the head of the villain Kikuchi Yoshitake. Drag it out! ”

The two cloaked people immediately pulled down the Kikuchi family envoy, who was still desperately begging for mercy. Soon after, a terrible scream came from the bottom of the mountain where the large array was located.

"Report, the messenger from the Otomo family is asking to see you outside the barracks." At this moment, a cloaked crowd came in to report.

"Oh? It seems that today is really lively.,Just left a messenger from the Kikuchi family.,Now there's another messenger from the Otomo family.。 Zhengliang muttered after hearing this.

"Biography!" After a little thought, Masara nodded and agreed to meet the visiting Otomo family envoy. He wanted to see what the Otomo family was going to do at this time when the overall situation of Kikuchi County had been decided.

Soon the envoy of the Otomo family was brought in. Along with the envoy of the Otomo family, there was also a military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke who had arrived after receiving a notice from Masayo.

After the envoy of the Otomo family finished saluting Masayo, he did not say much, but trembled and presented the letter drafted by Yoshioka Nagazou in his arms to Masashi. The reason why this envoy was so nervous was because he had just seen the miserable plight of the envoy of the Kikuchi family, so at this time he simply pursued the strategy of talking less and only sending letters. lest he anger the overlord in front of him because of his momentary gaffe, and end up with the same fate as the Kikuchi family.

Masarashi opened the letter and read it, the content of the letter was mainly Yoshioka Nagasama, who briefly expounded the intention of the two families to negotiate peace at this time, but did not talk deeply, and there seemed to be no rush to negotiate peace with the Luo family. Masarashi chalked it up to a temptation by the Otomo family. But this is also in line with Masayo's meaning, he doesn't want to attack the city with all his might, and the Higo coalition army will still run to make trouble, so Masato also intends to use the two families to negotiate peace to stabilize the Higo coalition army a little.

"Why did the Otomo family suddenly ask for peace? Could it be that Yoshioka Nagazen is planning to take advantage of the peace negotiation to drag the family first, and then take advantage of this time to mobilize a large army from Bungo to support? Or take advantage of the peace negotiations to paralyze the family, and then launch a surprise attack? After sending the envoy of the Otomo family away, Masara couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart. Although the Luo family also needs this rare time to completely pacify Kikuchi County, it is inevitable that the other party will also use this time to plan some things against the Luo family, so Masahiro has to be cautious.

"No, my lord, maybe your subordinates know why the Otomo family suddenly took the initiative to bring up the matter of peace?" Kansuke Yamamoto on the side said.

"Oh? Strategist, why is that? Masato couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"My lord, please read the information you just received from Fenghou and Nanfeigo." Kansuke Yamamoto pretended to mysteriously hand a stack of information to Masara. The latter immediately took the information and looked through it.

"I see!" After a long time, Zhengliang gently put down the information, and then suddenly realized.

This information was about the Sagara family, the Nawa family, and the Ichijo clan of Nanhigo to jointly launch an attack on the Kai family and the Omiya clan territory in Yicheng County, Lushita. At the same time, there is also the matter of Bungo Otomo Yoshikan's subordinate general Tsunitsuna Kiyoman rebelling and attacking the castle of Funai.

The Omiya family has tried to annex the Nawa family several times, so the Nawa family has long regarded the Omiya family as a mortal enemy. The last time Masara wrote a letter, he mentioned the benefits to the Nawa family in the battle between the Luo family and Higo in Kikuchi County, and the most important point was the information that General Aso had actually transferred the forces of the Omiya family in Kamiyijo County to leave. After receiving Zhengliang's letter, the original name and family governor Ming and Wu Tou couldn't make up their minds in their hearts, but after receiving the news that the Luo family had contacted Yixiangzong to send troops at the same time, he immediately made a decision and immediately sent troops with Yixiangzong.

As for Ichijomune, although a rebellion was launched throughout Kyushu after the autumn harvest last year, almost all of these rebellions ended in failure, although with this rebellion, Ichijomune finally made his mark on the political scene in Kyushu. It's just that Honganji Shangyi, who has long been deeply influenced by the great achievements created by Honganji Renru, will naturally not be satisfied with the status quo.

Therefore, when he received Masayo's suggestion to build a castle like Ishiyama Castle, a Buddhist shrine near Kyoto, in Higo, Honganji Shoyi was immediately moved. In addition, after the subsequent matchmaking of the Luo family, Honganji Shangyi hooked up with the Nawa family again, so he resolutely jumped on the thief ship built by the Luo family, and joined forces with the Nawa family to send troops to Sakami Yicheng County, aiming to win a castle in Shimoijo County, and then build it into a Kyushu Buddhist holy place comparable to Ishiyama Castle near Kyoto.

Of course, he also knew that the Luo family worked so hard to match them with absolutely no good intentions, but the Luo family was a clear conspiracy this time, and they couldn't help but take the bait. And not only did he take the bait himself, but Honganji Shangyi even pulled the Sagara family, who had been secretly with him for a long time, into the water. As a result, this eventually evolved into a grand occasion in which the three families of the Nawa family, the Ichijo clan, and the Sagara family joined forces to march to Yicheng County.

(It's been a long time since this book has been tipped, so I beg you for a tip.) At the same time, I took advantage of the last two days to ask everyone for a monthly pass. (To be continued......)
