The smooth arrival of Lu Jiaocheng gave Luo Shifan time to rectify a little.

In the council hall of Lu Jiaocheng, Masa-liang summoned all the retainers for a brief evaluation.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty thinks that the family should gather forces, pursue the coalition forces of the Shaobi family at full speed, and take down Kanzaki County, where the Shaoji family is located, even if the rest of the Haoqiang are subservient to the Ouchi family, but the road to enter the remaining counties of Hizen has been blocked by the family, and the Ouchi family will lose the opportunity to continue to advance, and after stabilizing the Ouchi family, the family will go back and clean up the rest of Saga County and Ogi County one by one." Shinnosuke Akabane said first.

Do you close the door and hit the dog? Masara understood what Shinnosuke Akabane meant. In fact, what he suggested was a quick way to seize Hizen, and the effect was to grab time with the Ouchi family, and get as much territory as possible before their army entered Hizen or went deep into Hizen. This is the fastest option, but it also comes with a lot of risks.

"This method is also feasible, but there are also a lot of risks!" Kakukuma Ishimune first approved of Shinnosuke Akabane's approach, "The premise is that the army of the Ouchi family must not advance too quickly, and the strong forces of Ogi-gun and Saka-gun will not cause trouble behind the family. His Majesty thought that the army of the family could be divided into two, and the army of one way went north first, and cooperated with the troops of the family who came out of the Lion City to attack the county of Ojo and the county of Kamisaga, and the other army was responsible for pursuing the army of the young family, and attacked the territory of Saga County and even Kanzaki County along the way. This method is a little more secure. ”

The two methods given by the two military divisions clearly reflect their respective characteristics, Akabane Shinnosuke's strategy lies in strangeness, danger, speed, and even poison, while Kakuma Ishizong's strategy is first to seek stability, and then the strategy is relatively strong.

"If you hastily separate the army, it is easy to be ambushed by the Shao Er family." Tomohisa Oishi spoke.

"Well, judging from the damage of the various families in the First Battle of Rokkakugawa, in a short period of time, they will not be able to gather enough troops to threaten their own family." Kinoshita Masanao also said.

"Let's wait for His Highness to make a decision."

"I have made up my mind, and the army is divided into two ways." Masahiro quickly cut through the mess and decided. In the past, the family was small and the business was small. Therefore, Zhengliang can sacrifice his life to gamble, but now with the continuous expansion of power, this cannot be the case. At least the overall strategic direction is to focus on seeking stability, and then take action step by step. Gradually expand your power. Shinnosuke Akabane's plan is also very good. It's just that Zhengliang really can't afford to take the risk of losing and leaving the army at the back.

Now that the mind has been decided. The army was immediately divided into two, and the army on the left was headed by Kinoshita Masanao as the general and the military advisor Shinnosuke Akabane. The generals Tomohisa Oishi, Toshimasa Honda, and Tetsunosuke, accompanied by Shinyin of Enjoji, who had just become a close member of Masahiro, would be responsible for convincing the Enjoji family to submit to the Luo family, and then send troops to assist Kinoshita Masanao in attacking Ojo County. At the same time, Masayo also sent a herald. Order Roche Shingoro in Lion City to go out to Ojo-gun and cooperate with Kinoshita Masanao's actions.

On the other hand, it is with Masayo as the general general, the military division Kakukuma Ishimune, the generals Akuda and Miyazawa Heihachi, the side is close to Kato Duanzo, Feidan, Ahri, Ueda Shinji, and the small surnames Murakami Takeyoshi, Nabeshima Naoshige, and Luo Masamune. Along the way, they will pursue the fleeing Young Coalition Army.

After leaving some soldiers to guard the city of Lujiao and ensure the safety of the rear road, the two armies immediately embarked on the journey again.

Zhengliang's road was unexpectedly smooth. Along the way, there were no attacks, and some of the fortresses were not even guarded. In the afternoon of the same day, Masara had already captured the village castle, the water river castle, and the Saga castle, so far. The original territory of the original Longzoji family was almost occupied by the Luo family.

After occupying Saga Castle, Roche finally met resistance. It turned out that the nearby Fukuchi, Katatae, Noda, Shimomura, Ishii, Jinji, Baiwu and other local tyrants saw the army of the Shao Er family leave suddenly, and planned to take the opportunity to seize the city, but the Luo clan who came later took the lead. Before them entered the city. And at this time, those local tyrants had just gathered their forces. These wealthy families actually started the idea of Luo's fan. I came to Saga Castle.

After receiving the report, Masahiro snorted coldly and said: "These guys, when the Longzo Temple family was caged in the city, chose to stand by and watch, and now they have the idea of their own family, it seems that they don't know the strength of their own family to make such a stupid choice." "Originally, according to Masashi's idea, he was waiting for the stabilization of Saga County to slowly turn back and clean up these local tyrants, but now they took the initiative to send them to the door.

"With such a rabble, it is okay for our family to directly defeat them head-on." Kakukuma Ishizong said.

"That's what it is." Masahiro agreed.

With Masayo's order, Luo Shifan took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the attack, and the two sides met in Kihara Village. History seems to have a very similarity, when the Oda family thought that the cause of the disaster of the young family was almost wiped out by the Ouchi family, the cause of the disaster was the fact that the Takazoji family passed through the Ouchi family to conclude a fake peace contract for the young family, so they angrily sent troops to attack the Takuzoji family, and the two sides started a joint battle here, which is known as the Kihara War. The battle ended with the victory of the Ryuzoji family.

At this moment, the army of the Luo family, which drove away the Shao Er family and occupied the territory of the Longzao Temple family, fought against these former retainers of the Longzao Temple family.

When the two armies met, they immediately fought, and the brave and unusually brave of the other party made the other party dizzy, and at this time, the cavalry of the Luo family, which went around to the rear of the other party, suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind under the leadership of Miyazawa Heihachi. The local tyrant coalition was defeated, hundreds of people were captured, and the rest were almost all captured. At the same time, in this battle, Toji Saemon, Noda Mikawa Mamoru, Secretary Noda Ken, Inuzuka Zenhachi, Nishiyama Kozaburo, Shimomura Genhachi, Ebu Matajiro, Tabira Daikaisuke, Tabira Inubo Maru, Fukuchi Saemon Ieying, Fukuchi Shinemon, Fukuchi Zenhachi, Ishii Saemon These local tyrants were either taken or captured.

After this battle, the local tyrants of Saga Prefecture were almost defeated in one fell swoop. After dealing with these local tyrants, Masara once again set his sights on the Nabeshima family of Honjo Village, the last one in Saga County, who had a certain strength. In order to put pressure on the other side, Masarashi directly sent a large army to be stationed near the village of Honjo. All this was done, and it was already early in the evening.

At this time, information was sent from all over the world.

The first is the intelligence of Kinoshita Masanao's army. They also went well, under the instigation of the Enjo Temple Shinyin, the Enjo Temple family decisively surrendered to the Luo family, and cooperated with Kinoshita Masanao's army to deceive the gate of Qingqi City in the afternoon of the same day, allowing Kinoshita Masanao to successfully attack Qingqi City. Chiba Yinlai, who had just gotten Qingqi City, had not yet slept on the tatami mats in his bedroom before he was taken by the warriors of the Luo family.

It is worth mentioning that Chiba Yinlai is actually not a member of Chiba Yinren's clan, he is actually the younger brother of Shao Er Dongshang. For a long time, Chiba Yin didn't even agree with Chiba Yinlai. This time, Chiba Yinlai took advantage of the opportunity of Chiba Yinlian's death in the battle of the Rokkakugawa, and took the opportunity to seize the position of the governor of the Chiba family, and claimed that he was the orthodox Chiba family, which angered the power of the original Chiba Yinlian clan, and it was precisely because of this that when Luo's large-scale attack on Qingqi City, most of the soldiers belonging to the Chiba Yinlian clan chose to surrender without stubbornness, so that Luo's Fan captured Qingqi City extremely easily.

The rapid fall of Sunny City gave Kinoshita a lot of free time. Therefore, with the cooperation of the Enjoji family, Kinoshita Masanao and the team of Roche Shigoro, who had arrived, immediately launched a large-scale attack on the wealthy families such as the Tsuruta family, the Kamoda family, the Tokushima family, and the Chinaga family in Ojo County.

When Scout Fan rushed to Masaara, the war was still going on.

In addition to the information of Kinoshita Masanao's army, the information of the Ouchi family's army has finally arrived. With Tao Takabo as the general in chief, the Ouchi family led an army of 3,000 from Chikuzen Kaharudake Castle, united with the 1,000-strong army of the Akizuki family, a total of 4,000 people, and was storming Shibata Castle of the Chikushi family at this moment.

"How's Duanmu Kiyomasa?" After reading the information, Masarashi looked at the Black Eagle who was in charge of delivering the letter and asked.

"Lord Duanmu also followed the army of the Ouchi family this time, but his personal freedom was not restricted, and after his subordinates infiltrated the military camp of the Ouchi family, he easily met Lord Duanmu."

"What does he need you to report to me?" Masara asked. In the letter from Duanmu Qingzheng to Zhengliang, Duanmu mentioned that the details could be asked by the Black Eagle who sent the letter. Apparently a hint that there is still intelligence that Black Hawk needs to dictate personally.

"Yes, my lord," Black Eagle replied respectfully, "Lord Duanmu asked the villain to tell the lord that the Ouchi family sent troops this time, not only to weaken the Shao Er family, but also to restrict the Luo family, so that the adults must be careful before leaving." ”

"Very good, I already know the information, you go down and rest first." Hearing this, Zhengliang nodded and said.

The Ouchi family really has another purpose. Historically, the Ouchi family has entered Hizen several times, all to deal with the young family. The first two times were failures, and the last one finally forced the young two to commit suicide, and occupied the three counties of Hizen, Kanzaki, and Saga. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and these three counties soon gradually fell into the hands of various retainers loyal to the Shao Er family, and Shao Er Dongshang also used these retainers to revive the Shao Er family in Hizen. This time, the Ouchi family is still coming for the Ouchi family, but perhaps in Ouchi Yoshitaka's heart, the threat of the Luo family is even greater than that of the Ouchi family at this moment. Although the other party played the banner of accepting the invitation of the Luo family to support the Luo family this time, who knows what they really thought in their hearts.

From the point of view of strength, don't look at the Luo family is already the first powerful in Hizen, but compared to the giant that controls Chikuzen, Fengqian, Anyun, Nagato, Zhou Fang and other national universities at the same time, it is much weaker. Therefore, it is very unwise to confront the Ouchi family now. Since you can't fight, you can only show goodwill, and there are many ways to show goodwill, but in what way to show goodwill, it mainly depends on your own strength. Therefore, what the Luo family has to do is to strengthen their strength as much as possible before the Ouchi family enters Hizen.

"Your Highness, there is an abnormality in the Nabeshima family." Just as Masara was pondering, Kato Duanzo suddenly came to report.

"Hehe, is that really the case?" Masara smiled and said, "Pass the order down and let everyone do what they want." ”
