Chapter 778: Strategies for the Two Families
Regarding the calculation in Maori Yuan's heart, Masahiro is not a roundworm in his stomach, so he naturally doesn't know the way. And Tao Longfang's envoy this time, although he put forward the request to negotiate peace with the Luo family and get Ouchi Yoshicho as a puppet, but one of the conditions in his letter was to make the political conscience moved, so he finally agreed to Tao Longfang, after he fulfilled the conditions in the letter, he would negotiate peace with the Tao family, and send Ouchi Yoshicho.
Tao Longfang was also very sincere in negotiating peace with the Luo family, and not long after Jiang Liangeifang returned, the Naito family really stopped the increase of troops in Katsuo Castle in the southern region of Nagato Province. Although it still did not reduce the number of troops in this place, it temporarily prevented the Luo family from falling into a situation where they were engaged in fierce battles in the Bunzen Province and the Nagato Province respectively.
While the good news is received, there is also bad news. The first piece of bad news is that after returning to Matsuyama Castle, which had just been defeated by the Luo family a few days ago, he was actually mobilizing the army of his own territory in spite of the complaints of the people, trying to carry out a cage battle in Matsuyama Castle and block the Luo family's invasion of Fengzen in Matsuyama Castle.
In addition, the cause of the fire in the mountains of Goxu has also been identified.
It is true that the fire of Mt. Oxu originated in the central region on the border between Bunzen and Chikuzen provinces. What shocked the Luo family even more was that the day before the fire broke out in the mountain forest, Akizuki Fumiko and Aso Takashi happened to lead more than 1,000 people from their respective families and the main forces into Yuxu Mountain.
At first, Masara didn't believe in the news, but with the arrival of news from the Akizuki family and the Aso family, Masara was finally convinced.
"My lord, this forest fire in Yuxu Mountain has been going on for several days. Look at the fire. Unless it's going to rain heavily recently. Otherwise, it will be difficult to pause for a short time. And if the people of the Qiuyue family and the Aso family were really in the mountains at this time, then with the current fire, I am afraid that it would be more than lucky. Kansuke Yamamoto said immediately.
As Kansuke Yamamoto said, that night, Sugi Shigesuke and others secretly lit a fire around the camp camp of the Akizuki family and the Aso family. Not only were the Akizuki family and the Aso family besieged by the fire, but even Sugi Shigesuke and others, who set the fire, were also trapped in the mountains and forests by the fire.
From a modern point of view. Sugi Shigesuke is a typical rich second generation. How could he, who usually worked very little at home, have predicted that a seemingly perfect plan to burn the enemy would eventually turn into a forest fire that would spread throughout the entire Goxu Mountain?
The sky was covered with mountain fires, and the thick pillars of smoke over Mt. Goxu could be seen not only in the territories of Bunzen Province and Chikuzen Province, but also in the Shubo Beach, Hibiki Beach, and the Seto Inland Sea, and even in the places of Zhoubo Province and Nagato Province.
The Akizuki family, the Aso family, and the Sugi family, who already lacked the knowledge of escaping from the fire, were either burned to death by the fire or suffocated by the smoke during the siege of the wildfire. In the end, led by Akizuki Bunto and Aso Takashi, dozens of two retainers and thousands of soldiers of the two families died in the sea of fire in Yuxu Mountain. and all those who are buried with them. There are also more than 100 people from the Sugi family, such as Sugi Shigesuke, the initiator of this fire.
Not long after the governor and his retainers entered Yuxu Mountain, a wildfire broke out. Immediately, the Autumn Moon family and the Aso family fell into chaos. At this time, the sister-in-law of these two families, the sister-in-law of the Qiuyue family, Akizuki Haru, is only a few years old, and the sister-in-law of Takashi Aso is less than two years old. What's even more serious is that at this time, the heirs of the two families are still in the Luo family's territory as hostages of this tripartite alliance. In such a situation, it is natural to cause great confusion.
"Lord, if the two family governors of the Qiuyue family and the Aso family are really buried in the fire this time, it is a good time for the family to control these two families!" Another military advisor, Kakuma Ishizong, said.
"Yes, my lord! This time, in addition to the two family governors, the two families also lost a large number of retainers and military elites in the family at once, and it was indeed the best time for the family to settle in these two families. Kansuke Yamamoto also said.
"Oh? What do you recommend? "When Kansuke Yamamoto and Kakukuma Ishimune said this, Masarashi really had the idea of taking the opportunity to annex the Akizuki family and the Aso family.
"The family can enter the two families under the banner of allies, and then help the two sons in law who are hostages in the family to succeed to the position of family governor, and then take over the management authority of the two families under the pretext that the two family governors are still young, slowly cut off the strength of the two families, and finally control the two families." Kakukuma Ishizong immediately said.
"Lord Shi Zong's plan is good, but it's only a slow strategy. His Majesty thought that with the current situation faced by his family, if he used this strategy, I am afraid that conflicts with some powerful retainers of the two families would break out several times during this period. Your Majesty has a quick plan to cut through the chaos here, but I don't know if the lord of the Dao is willing to listen to it. Kansuke Yamamoto said.
"Oh? Don't be careful! Zhengliang said immediately.
"For the Aso family, the lord is not afraid to take Aso Hina, who is a guest at the house at this time, as a side room, and then directly settle in the Aso family in the name of his in-laws, assist Aso Nozomi's young nephew to inherit the family governor, and then quickly control the Aso family."
"And what about the Qiuyue family?"
"Has the lord forgotten? Akizuki Wen's second son and his mother are settling in the house of Kamiya at this time. And Lord Kamiya is also a guest at Akizuki's house. The family can nominate the second son of the Akizuki genre to inherit the position of the governor of the Akizuki family in the name of Lord Kamiya, and then the family will take the opportunity to directly control the Akitsuki family. ”
"Yes, because most of the retainers of the two families and the elite of the army died in the fire this time, this family just controlled the two families by force and oppression." At this time, the Kakuma Stone Sect also agreed.
"But in order to prevent the Sugi family in the southeast and the Naito family in Nagato Province in the north from dragging their feet after learning of the change in Chikuzen Province, the family should also be prepared." At this time, Kansuke Yamamoto reminded.
"This matter is not difficult, the lord, the minister is willing to rush to the Nagasaki Castle in Nagato Province, and work with the executive Tankane-sama to guard against the Naito family, as for the defense of the Bunzen, the minister suggested that the main bus should be in charge of Yoshida Shigemasa. With Yoshida Shigemasa stationed at Nagano Castle and Komidake Castle in the former Nagano family, there is no need to worry even if Sugi Shigeju attacks again. In addition, in order to increase the chaos in Bunzen, Nagato, and other places, the Honke should send a large number of detectives into these two places to spread rumors that the Naito family and the Sugi family were complicit in the rebellion of the Tao Taka Fang, and even send Black Hawk into these areas to pretend to be bandits, and the navy army to enter the coast of these two places to play the role of pirates, adding to the chaos in these areas and leaving the two families with no time to take care of anything else. Kakuma Ishizong said immediately.
"As for Kokura Castle and Moji Castle, please ask the Lord to give the bus to His Majesty. His Majesty pledged to ensure the stability of the two places and to connect with the rest of Nagato Province and Bunzen Province. Yamamoto Kansuke also said at this time, "As for the lord, he personally led the army back to Chikuzen and took down the Akizuki family and the Aso family in one fell swoop. ”
"Okay, since that's the case, then please leave it to the two military advisors." Eventually, Masarashi agreed to Kansuke Yamamoto's quick plan and Kakukuma's suggestion to guard against Nagato and Toyozen.
