Could it be that Otomo Yoshikan has lost to Masayo several times, which has caused him to have too much liver fire, and even his mentality is unbalanced?

Now even a fool knows that Otomo Yoshikan's dispatch of troops this time will definitely do more harm than good. The army of the Luo family was approaching from two directions, and there were 2,000 people to say the least. These two thousand people are not professional soldiers who separate soldiers from peasants, but they contain a large number of peasants and soldiers. It's already June, and the Otomo family's army has been on its way since May, which means that all the farmers in the army have missed this year's spring ploughing.

Spring ploughing is a big deal! This will definitely make these peasants and the lords of their territory complain. And the Otomo family has just experienced a territorial civil strife. Together, the two will only lead to a continuous increase in the instability of the territory.

Besides, even if your Otomo family soldiers are in the city, will it be useful? Even if they have mastered some tools to attack the city first, and even have Zhengliang, a person from later generations, to guide them to use these tools to attack the city, the Luo family does not dare to guarantee that they will be able to capture a city at will.

You must know that in the Warring States, the general cage city battle will take a few months to fight for a few months, and even several years. Now that the city has already made sufficient preparations, even if your Otomo family besieges the city for several months, the defenders in the city will definitely not have any worries. Besides, will Masarashi let your Otomo's family go wild there?

The answer is obviously no, even if Zhengliang is willing, the retainers of the Luo family will not agree.

"My lord, after your subordinates request to send troops, they will immediately repel the forces of your friend's family, so that he can see the martial arts of his family again." In the last Higo Raider, although the cavalry team also participated in the final battle, Isono Yuanchang felt that the fight was too enjoyable. So this time, as soon as I heard that the Otomo family had invaded the Higo territory of the main family. He immediately asked for his life.

"My lord. The ministers also asked to fight! The rest of the retainers also asked for their orders.

"Hmph, since the Otomo family is so arrogant, the family will give him a little color to see. Kansuke. Zhengliang immediately ordered.

"Your Majesty is here!" Hearing Masarashi call his name, Kansuke Yamamoto immediately bowed to the ground and saluted.

"Tell Yoshioka Nagamasa, who is a guest at his house, about the fact that he sent troops without regard for his safety, and borrow a tuft of his hair for use. Divide this tuft of hair into two parts, and give them to the chief general of the Otomo Army outside the castle and the head of the Bungo Yoshioka family, and at the same time vigorously promote the rumor that Otomo Yoshikan disregarded the life and death of his important ministers in order to vent the evil anger in his heart. Masato said.

I believe that after receiving this tuft of hair from Yoshioka Nagazeng, the head of the Otomo family outside the city will inevitably throw a rat bogey. Otomo Yoshikan is not worried about killing Yoshioka Nagazen because of this. He's worried. You must know that the strength of the Yoshioka family in Bungo is not weak, if he killed Yoshioka Nagazen because of the execution of Otomo Yoshikan's order, then his family will have a bad relationship with the Yoshioka family, which is definitely not a good thing. As for the family members of the Yoshioka family who received Yoshioka's long hair, they will increase the pressure on Otomo Yoshikan and force Otomo Yoshikan to compromise or even withdraw from the army.

"Yes, my lord!" Yamamoto Kansuke's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he hurriedly took the order.

"Isono Yuanchang!"

"Your Majesty is here!" As soon as he heard Masarashi shout his name, Isono was immediately as excited as if he had taken a stimulant, and immediately shouted in convincing.

"I order you to immediately lead your cavalry team to Higo. Adopt harassment tactics and constantly harass outside the camp of the Otomo family. It is allowed to attack a small force of the Otomo family, but it is strictly forbidden to engage in a decisive battle with the opposing team, and violators will be stripped of their position as commander. Masato ordered again.

"Obey the orders of the lord!" Isono Yuanchang commanded.

Just when Masarashi was arranging to deal with the pressure of the Otomo family's army, at the port of the Satsuma Shimazu family's Hozu Port, a Nanban ship like a huge castle fortress suddenly appeared.

The owner of this Nanban ship is none other than Zhu Qinfeng. The time has entered June, and the typhoon weather at sea is gradually increasing, this time he is going to the territory of the Luo family with a special gift to rest temporarily, but he meets the invitation of the Shimazu family to visit him halfway, so he came to the Shimazu family's Fangzu port.

"Dear Mr. Zhu Qinfeng, welcome to our family's territory." On the wharf of Fangjin Port, the person responsible for receiving Zhu Qinfeng and his party was the old Ijiin Tadaro of the Shimazu family. Before Zhu Qinfeng's ship docked, he had already received a detailed report from the ship that had returned ahead of schedule, so he could correctly say Zhu Qinfeng's Chinese name for the first time.

"Honorable Lord, it's a pleasure to be a guest in your realm." Obviously, Zhu Qinfeng regarded Ijiin Tadaro as the lord who invited him.

For this reason, Ijiin Zhonglang did not do much analysis, anyway, Zhu Qinfeng and his entourage were also fully responsible for receiving him this time. In order to increase the bargaining weight later, it is no problem to temporarily pretend to be a big lord in front of the Southern Barbarians.

The two sides were polite, and at the same time came to a wooden house on the dock that had been arranged a long time ago. After the guest and host were seated, Ijiin Tadaro, as the host, first said straight to the point:

"Distinguished guest, I believe that before stepping into the territory of this family, you already know the original intention of the Daoist family to invite you to come this time."

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I have signed an agreement with another lord in your area that I can't just sell the weapons of the iron cannon you call to another lord." Zhu Qinfeng said with a smile.

Although Zhu Qinfeng clearly rejected Ijiin Tadaro's request to buy iron cannons, Ijiin Tadaro heard that there was room for maneuver, so Ijiin Tadaro continued to say tentatively without giving up.

"Your Excellency thinks that five hundred taels of gold is an iron cannon, what is the price?"

When Zhu Qinfeng heard this, he was immediately shocked in his heart, Nima, five hundred taels of gold, this is too easy to earn, right?

Just when Zhu Qinfeng was shocked in his heart, the Yijiyuan Zhonglang on the opposite side thought that Zhu Qinfeng felt that the price was too low, so he hurriedly continued: "If Your Excellency thinks that the price is too low, then how about seven hundred taels of gold?" ”

Now the Shimazu family has not discovered the gold mines near Mt. Purple Tail, and Satsuma has not yet been unified, so the Shimazu family's finances are really not very abundant, and the price given by the Ijiin Tadharo is already close to the maximum price that Shimazu Takahisa gave to Ijiin Tadaro, if the other party does not agree, Ijiin Tadaro will be a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, there is no problem with the lord, but we must declare in advance that if the lord attacks the territory of his friend Luo Jiazheng Liang with the iron cannon provided in Xia, then our future transaction will not be established again." In the face of high profits, Zhu Qinfeng had already thrown his agreement with Zhengliang out of the clouds. Besides, this time, he specially brought something that Zhengliang needed. He believed that with these things, he would definitely be able to dispel Masara's anger because of his dealings with the Shimazu family. (To be continued......)
