Chapter 439
A red sun gradually rose from the sea to the east. It was already early in the morning, and the fog on Jufucheng became much thinner. Zhengliang stood on the hill where his formation was located not far from Jufucheng, and saw the army formation of the Luo family in the distance, which was like mountains and seas.
The Luo family army in the distance was mobilized one after another, and the Luo family siege troops were ready and waiting at the foot of the mountain. On the mountain road, another team of Feihou's little rich army attacking the mountain as a vanguard came. The flag behind them swung like a dense forest.
This is the second day after the Luo family army launched an siege against Jufucheng. Yesterday, a fierce battle almost captured Uemaru from Jufucheng. Of course, the reason why it failed in the end was because yesterday, the main attackers were the small wealthy families of Kikuchi County and Yamaru County, and the military power of the small land. With their strength, don’t expect them to capture Jufucheng.
The reason why Zhengliang asked them to take the lead was to let them know who is the boss of Kikuchi County and Shanlu County now, and to take the opportunity to weaken their strength and let them fight to the Kikuchi family in Jufu City first. At the same time, they also attacked the morale of the defenders in the city. After all, when the soldiers in the city saw many local tyrants they were familiar with, they would imagine that they were already enemies on all sides at this time.
"So is Kikuchi Yoshitori seeking peace?" Masara looked into the mist and said majestic.
"Yes, the villain is ordered by Lord Kikuchi Yoshito to express his intention to reconcile to Dazai Shaoer. My family thinks that the biggest enemies of our two sides should be the Otomo family and the various rich families who have joined forces to the Otomo family. Therefore, our two families should join hands to attack the common enemies of these two families instead of infighting here." A middle-aged man who was being taken care of by two Luo family cloaks not far behind Masayora immediately said humbly.
"Common enemy? Hahaha..." Masayoro laughed at the first moment after hearing this. Then he suddenly turned around and stared at the messenger sent by Kikuchi Yoshiwu and said, "If the two families have common enemies, then why did the Kikuchi family suddenly send troops to attack the Himeguro Ninjas employed by our family? Why did the Kikuchi family even make way for the Otomo family to arrive in Kikuchi County calmly? Even when the Kikuchi family invited the Kikuchi family to send troops to attack the Himeguro coalition forces, they were unable to get a response from the Kikuchi family?"
"This?" The envoy sent by Kikuchi Yoshiguchi was speechless by Masayoro.
"Go back and tell Kikuchi Yoshiwu that the traitors cannot believe that Kikuchi County will only have the Luo family but not the Kikuchi family from now on. Get out!" Zhengliang scolded. Kikuchi Yoshiwu, a brainless guy, wanted to re-align with the Luo family at this time, which was simply a fool.
"Yes. Yes, the villain will definitely bring the words to my lord!" Seeing Masayoro so furious, the messenger of the Kikuchi family said immediately, then turned around and prepared to slip away.
"Slow down!" At this moment, Shi Zhengliang's voice came again.
The messenger of the Kikuchi family was stunned and immediately felt happy. Could this fat eagle changed its mind temporarily?
"Come, pull him down and cut off one of his ears."
"Ah? Dazai Shaoer, please spare me, please spare me!" After hearing Masayoshi's words, the messenger of the Kikuchi family seemed to have suffered a bolt from the blue. He immediately knelt down and beg for mercy. However, Masayoshi didn't look at the messenger at the corner of his eyes, but continued to say loudly: "This is a small punishment for the Kikuchi family to betray the Kikuchi family. When the city of the capital is broken, I will personally cut off the head of the villain Yoshiwu Kikuchi and drag it down!"
The two cloaked people immediately pulled down the Kikuchi family envoy who was still begging for mercy. Soon after, a shrill scream came from the foot of the mountain where the formation was located.
"Report that an envoy from Otomo's family is seeking a visit outside the military camp." At this time, a cloak crowd came in to report.
"Oh? It seems that today is really lively. I just left an envoy from the Kikuchi family, and now another envoy from the Otomo family comes." Masayoro muttered after hearing this.
"Transfer!" Masarara nodded after thinking for a while and agreed to meet the visiting Otomo family. He wanted to see what the Otomo family planned to do at this time when the overall situation of Kikuchi County was determined.
Soon the envoy of the Otomo family was brought in. The military advisor Yamamoto Kazusuke who received a notice from Masara.
After the Otomo family's envoy paid a salute to Masaru, he did not say much, but trembledly submitted the letter in his arms, which was handed down by Yoshioka Nagato to Masaru. The reason why this envoy was so nervous was that he had just seen the miserable experience of the Kikuchi family's envoy, so at this time he simply followed the strategy of talking less and sending letters only, so as not to anger the overlord in front of him because of his own fault and ended up like the Kikuchi family.
Masara opened the letter and read it. The content of the letter was mainly about Nagato Yoshioka briefly expounding the intentions of the two families to discuss peace at this time, but there was no deep discussion, and it seemed that there was no intent to discuss peace with the Luo family. Masarara was attributed to a test by the Otomo family. However, this was exactly what Masarara meant. He did not want the Hokage coalition to come to make trouble when he was fully attacking Jufucheng, so Masarara also intended to use the matters between the two families to stabilize the Hokage coalition.
"Why did the Otomo family suddenly ask for peace talks? Is Yoshioka Nagato planning to use peace talks to drag the family first, and then mobilize a large army from Fenghou to support this time? Or should I use peace talks to paralyze the family and then launch a sudden 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 needed this rare time to completely pacify Kikuchi County, it was inevitable that the other party also used this time to plan some things against the Luo family, so Masara had to be more cautious.
"No, lord, maybe my subordinates know why the Otomo family suddenly took the initiative to raise peace talks?" said Kanasuke Yamamoto, who was standing beside him.
"Oh? Military advisor, why is this?" Zhengliang couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Lord, please read the information you just received from Toyogu and Minami Hiroshi first." Yamamoto Kazusuke pretended to be mysterious and handed a stack of information to Masarara. The latter immediately took the information and started to look it up.
"So that's it!" After a long time, Zheng Liang gently put down the information and then suddenly realized the truth.
This information is about the attacks on the Aira family of Minami, Nakako and Yoshizo-sect jointly launched an attack on the Kafei family of Shimochi County and the Omiya Shi family. At the same time, there is also the incident of the rebellion of the subordinate of Toyoto Yoshimi Yoshimi, Hiratsuka Kiyoman, the subordinate of Toyoto Yoshimi, rebelling against the inner city of the mansion.
The Omiya Si family tried several times to annex the Minghe family, so the Minghe family had long regarded the Omiya Si family as their mortal enemy. The last time Masayoshi wrote a letter, which briefly mentioned the benefits of the Luo family's battle with the Feihou coalition forces in Kikuchi County and the Taihou coalition. The most important point was that Asu Wei General actually transferred the military force of the Omiya Si family in Shangyicheng County. After receiving Zhengliang's letter, Minghe and Wutao, the general of Minghe family, was still unable to make up his mind. As a result, after receiving the news that the Luo family had contacted him with Yixiangzong at the same time, he immediately made a decision and immediately sent troops with Yixiangzong.
As for Yixiangsong, although a Yixiang Ikki that ran through Kyushu was launched after the autumn harvest last year, almost all of these riots ended in failure. Although with this riot, Yixiangsong finally made his mark on the political stage of Kyushu. However, Honyanji Shangyi, who had long been deeply influenced by the great achievements created by Renru Honyanji, naturally would not be satisfied with the status quo.
So when he received the suggestion from Masarara about building a village like Ishiyama Castle in Himeko, near Kyoto, Honanji Shangyi was very moved. In addition, after the Luo family's support, Honanji Shangyi hooked up with the Nakawa family again, so he resolutely jumped on the pirate ship built by the Luo family, and joined forces with the Nakawa family to send troops to Ukawa County. Yayi won a city in Shimai Yike County, and then built it into a Kyushu Buddhist holy land comparable to Ishiyama Castle near Kyoto.
Of course, he also knew that the Luo family had never had any good intentions to tie the bridge and line them up so hard, but this time the Luo family was a silly plot, and they couldn't help but not take the bait. Moreover, not only did they take the bait themselves, Honanji Sushi even pulled the Aoray family, which had been secretly with him. So this eventually turned into the grand occasion of the Minghe family, the Yixiangzong and the Aoray family joining together to attack the Shangyicheng County.
