"My lord, this is a letter from a few nearby cities that have a sincere aspiration." In the assessment room of the capital of Kyushu Hyuga Province in the county town, an intelligence cabinet member who had been lurking in the vicinity of the capital city for several years sent several letters to Takasaka Masanobu who was sitting on the throne.

Just this morning, Takasaka Masanobu transported the small cylinders of Li Huamei's three fortune ships to the outside of the capital county, and directly opened artillery to attack the city. As a result, to his surprise, the defenders of the Ito family in the county town of Duyu were suddenly frightened, and the county town of Duyu was quickly lost under a strong attack by the Luo family. Most of the defenders in the city surrendered one after another, and even the Saeki family, who fled here, did not flee this time, and simply surrendered.

The only thing that made Takasaka Masanobu feel sorry was that some of the Ito family members led by Ito Yuki still took advantage of the chaos to escape from behind. The most heinous thing is that when Ito Yuki escaped, he also took away the two sons of Ito Yoshiyu, who was five years old and one year old.

Of course, this time the unintentional move of Masanobu Takasaka and Li Huamei has indeed made a great contribution. After capturing the capital of the county, Takasaka Masanobu had a brief discussion with Li Huamei, and then immediately divided his troops into two routes again.

Li Huamei was responsible for sending some of the objects in the city to the lord Zhengliang immediately, and at the same time, after reassembling the large cylinder on the ship, Li Huamei would also personally lead the navy along the coast of Hyuga Province to continue to the southern Hyuga coast, and the target was naturally the few remaining sailors of the Ito family.

Speaking of which, these Ito family sailors are estimated to have been defeated by the Luo family's navy several times in the past, so they seem very cunning, almost after seeing the fleet of the Luo family's navy. Immediately run away. Director Li Huamei has not been able to catch them all. This time, Li Huamei was determined to get rid of these trolls no matter what.

As for Takasaka Masanobu's side, he was responsible for staying in the capital of the county, on the one hand, consolidating the previous achievements, and on the other hand, cooperating with the actions of the various Luo family armies that had begun to move in the border of Higo Province and Satsuma Province at this time, as a nail, nailing it to the heart of the Ito family, so as to distract the Ito family. This makes it impossible to gather all the resources in the territory to fight against the Luo family in a short period of time.

It's just that what Takasaka Masanosin didn't expect was that on the afternoon of the day he just occupied Ito Home City, an intelligence cabinet officer with the identity token of the Luo family's intelligence cabinet came directly to him and told him that because of the fall of the county town, some nearby cities had already intended to surrender to the Luo family, which almost made Takasaka Masanobu laugh wildly, this is simply a military feat, and Takasaka Masanobu can't help but be unhappy.

"Good, good, good!"

After receiving the letter from the intelligence cabinet officer. Takasaka Masanobu immediately opened it and looked at it, and when he finished reading the last letter. Takasaka Masanobu immediately said a few hellos. It can be seen from the letters that these fortresses were indeed sincere.

In fact, Takasaka Masanobu didn't know that because the fall of the capital of Jucheng in the county town would actually have a great impact on the Ito family.

Just taking the cities around the county town as an example, the sound of the big cylinder being launched was very loud, and these cities also sent personnel to witness the scene when the Luo family's army attacked the county town. Coupled with the deliberate exaggeration and propaganda of those personnel who had been lurking in the local Luo Family's Intelligence Pavilion for a long time, everyone was quickly panicked, for fear that the soldiers of the Luo Family's army would find them next.

At the same time, in order to support the Saeki family and ensure the security of the border area, most of the Ito family's troops (including most of the local young people) and core retainers were concentrated in the western Ogawakan of Hyuga, Kakudo Castle in the west of Hyuga, Matsuyama Castle in the south of Hyuga, Matsuo Castle in the north of Hyuga, the coastal navy and the support army led by Yoshisuke Ito.

Originally, it seemed to be a solid defense system, but in the end, the Luo family found a breakthrough in Matsuo Castle, which scared the naval army responsible for assisting in the defense of Matsuo Castle along the coast half to death. So under the opportunity of Matsuo Castle as a breakthrough, Takasaka Masanobu and Li Huamei had an idea, united by land and water, and quickly followed the coast of Hyuga Province to the inner area of the Ito family.

At this time, due to the absence of most of the retainers who were the backbone, it was impossible for the localities to organize the resistance forces in a timely and effective manner in a short period of time. Moreover, since the main force and even the main young and strong were not there, it was impossible to mobilize a large number of temporary soldiers in time. What's even more strict is that because it is the spring ploughing season, the spring ploughing at home was affected because the main labor force in the family was called to leave, but now it suddenly pulls away the remaining labor force in the family again, which naturally suffers from the resistance of the people. In this way, it also delayed the assembly of resistance forces in various places.

Under such circumstances, the sudden fall of the capital town of Toyo County, the center of the Ito family's rule, was suddenly captured by the enemy, and the impact on the surrounding castles was too great. So naturally, a lot of wall grass began to prepare to surrender.

"Then, then, please leave it to Your Excellency." Since someone was planning to surrender, Takasaka Masanobu was naturally very welcome, and the intelligence cabinet personnel in front of him naturally wanted to lead the troops he sent to receive the relevant castles as messengers. Anyway, he had already sent people back to the place in the northern part of Hyuga Province occupied by the Luo family, asking for more logistical peasant soldiers and territory receivers.

And the rapid progress of him and Li Huamei is indeed very surprising to the Luo family, it is reported that the young lord of Luo Family City Xuefu City in Hizen Country Luo Shi Huiliang also personally praised him and Li Huamei in the evaluation meeting, in order to cooperate more quickly with the progress made by the two of them in the Hyuga country, the young lord Huiliang even ordered the mobilization of a new group of peasants in the territory again to speed up the progress of receiving the new territory.

In the next few days, with the assistance of the local Luo family intelligence cabinet personnel, Takasaka Masanobu quickly took over the castles of Takajo, Tomita Castle, and Suibei Castle near the county town.

Of course, at present, Takasaka Masanobu mainly receives the castles and territories directly under the Ito family, as for the surrounding wall-like ordinary wealthy families and temple shrine forces. Takasaka Masanobu only accepted their submission and did not act again. After all, now is not the time to contradict these forces. One qiē has to wait until the overall situation is completely controlled. After the Luo family has enough troops to enter the Hyuga Kingdom, they will have a complete showdown with these forces.

Just as Takasaka Masanobu and Li Huamei continued to expand in the local area of Hyuga Province, several large armies located on the border of Higo Province also officially went out after receiving orders from the lord Masaryo.

First of all, the second standing squadron of the Luo family naval army in Amakusa Beach, under the command of the chief general Kunatsu, and the deputy generals Fukuda Kanji, Murakami Ryoyasu, Murakami Naoyoshi, Kagogi Zhenyu and others approached the coast of Satsuma Province, and the Shimazu family navy urgently went to sea to intercept it. On the one hand, he asked for help from the Ming pirate fleet led by Wang Zhi in the nearby waters. However, because he couldn't find Wang Zhi himself for a while, he couldn't invite the help of the Ming pirate fleet.

Secondly, with Kai Jinnao (Soun) as the main general, Shiga Kantaka, Yasumu Minbu, Nyhoji Terunori, Sanno kinshige, Honda Masanobu and others as deputy generals, the Luo family's 7th Standing Brigade as the main force, and 3,000 temporary peasant soldiers as the auxiliary, a total of nearly 5,000 troops marched out from Minamata Castle on the border between Minamihigo and Satsuma Province, and directly entered the territory of the Shimazu family.

In the end, the main general of Enjoji Nobuyin, Takeuchi Hisakatsu, Owaya Gunbei, Kitahara Jinhisa, Sailazu Kannao, Okami Zhenmasa, Sano Takai, and Nabeshima Naoshige were the deputy generals. The sixth standing team of the Luo family is the main force, supplemented by 4,000 temporary peasant soldiers. The soldiers were divided into two routes, and they went out from Kushichi Pass and Yuyama Pass at the junction of Hyuga Province and Higo Province respectively, and approached Kakuto Castle and Ogawakan of the Ito family respectively.

The Luo family's multi-way attack suddenly shocked everyone in the entire southern Kyushu region, especially the attack on the two important border towns of Hyuga Province, which directly led the two cities to send troops to rescue the crisis in the central region of Hyuga Province.

Since then, with the large number of people who have been lurking in various places of the Luo family's intelligence cabinet to spread the news, such as the capture of the Ito family castle in the county town, the occupation of the central and northern regions of the Hyuga country by the Luo family, and the siege of the Luo family by the two governors of the Ito family and the Shimazu family, as well as the elite team under the command of the two.

In this way, the various regions of southern Kyushu immediately had turbulent currents.

Unlike the centralization of power that the Luo family has always practiced, most of the powerful names in the Warring States are currently ruled by coalition interest groups with different Cheng Dù. Such a way of ruling will be dangerous even if it pays attention to the concentration of power. For example, the Oda family in history, with the death of the powerful Oda Nobunaga, the entire Oda family interest group immediately separated.

And the Ito interest group, which is even more inferior, is facing such a situation, and its internal danger is naturally even more serious. When the governor of the Ito family is not dead and the main force is still there, most of the local small heroes have secretly expressed their surrender to the generals of the Luo family.

In fact, in history, when the Ito family was at its strongest, it used to be known as the daimyo who ruled forty-eight castles, but after the Shimazu family killed a large number of important ministers and elites in the famous Kisakiwara War, under the invasion of the Shimazu family, a large number of wall grasses immediately took the initiative to surrender to the Shimazu family, so the entire Ito family's territory immediately separated.

The same is true today. When a large number of retainers and elites were restrained and besieged by all walks of life of the Luo family, a large number of wall grasses emerged. But it is also an inevitable situation in the Warring States, after all, everyone is really doing everything for the continuation of the family and their own survival.

For such a wall grass, Zhengliang must not like it. After all, such a wall grass will inevitably be shaken or even betrayed before the Luo family is in a heavy test, and the existence of such a wealthy family is also contrary to the law implemented by the Luo family. Therefore, Zhengliang generally accepts the surrender of these wall grasses first, and then after preparation, he transfers all these wealthy clans, and directly transfers them to areas that have fully adapted to the law of the Luo family, forcing them to accept the rule of the Luo family.

Of course, in such a situation, in addition to the undercurrent of these wall grasses for self-preservation, the local wealthy families who had been fighting against the Shimazu family and the Ito family also reacted.

First of all, within the Satsuma Kingdom, the Kitahara family, the Lingjia family and other wealthy families who had been destroyed by the Shimazu family before, under such a shape, the orphans of the wealthy families who had been hiding in various places immediately came out to make trouble again.

Secondly, the Kitago family and the Toyoshu Shimazu family, which had already seized most of the territory in the southernmost part of the southern Hyuga, and only two or three castles hidden in the mountains and forests in the southern part of the Hyuga country, were now attacking with all their might and marching towards Matsuyama Castle, the important town of the Ito family in the south.
