Chapter 598
The originally clear sky in the morning suddenly turned dark clouds near noon, and even a strong wind blew, with a storm coming.
"Damn weather!" At this time, Otoyo Yoshiki was sitting in the Miaomi City Council Hall. Originally, after receiving the news that he had not successfully killed Luo's Masayoro, he was ready to launch a fierce attack on the Luo family's border Kaori Castle immediately. But in such weather, he had to give up.
The matter of joining the big family this time has gone through a long negotiation.
In recent years, with the rapid rise of the Luo family, not only did the Otomo family repeatedly retreat, but it also gradually caused dissatisfaction among the Otomo family. The relationship between the Luo family and the Otomo family. Before the Battle of the Izumo family against the Nizi family, in Otomo Yoshiki's opinion, it was indeed unbreakable. However, since the Otomo family's defeat in Izumo, the relationship between the Otomo family and the Luo family has gradually begun to appear rifts.
First of all, when the Ouchi family suffered a crushing defeat in Izumo, the Luo family won a great victory in the country of Himemaki. The sharp contrast highlighted the incompetence of the Ouchi family, which made Yoshitaka Ouchi very uncomfortable. More importantly, the Luo family replaced the Ouchi family's sphere of influence in the country of Himemaki, cutting off the possibility of the Ouchi family being involved in the Hoshimaki family. In addition, the Luo family took advantage of the conflict with the Harada family and extended its power to the Yitu County of Himemaki. From this moment on, Yoshitaka Ouchi had already begun to be dissatisfied with the Luo family. Of course, since the Ouchi family had to face the double-sided attacks of the Nizi family and the Ouchi family at this time, Yoshitaka Ouchi did not reveal these dissatisfactions, and even hoped that the Luo family would accelerate the confrontation and conflict with the Ouchi family, which could reduce the pressure from the Ouchi family on the one hand. On the other hand, it could also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Luo family.
However, as the Luo family continued to win, the Otomo family continued to retreat, and the Otomo family found that the strength of the Luo family was a little beyond his control. At this time, Yoshitaka Otomo family hoped that the Otomo family would be tougher. This can be seen from the fact that the Otomo family remained silent when the Otomo family conquered the Luo family several times. Of course, at this time, the Otomo family still had the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight and reaping profits.
As the shogunate court granted the official position of Dazai Shaoer to Masara Luo, the Luo family strongly rejected the Danaga's move to release Akara Nagaki last year, which made the Danaga realize that the Luo family had become a threat to him. At this time, Ototo Yoshikazu realized that the opportunity to jointly attack the Luo family with the Danaga had come, so he immediately secretly sent someone to secretly meet with the Danaga Yoshitaka in April this year to discuss the joint containment of the Luo family between the two families.
Of course, the Oui family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The Oui family did not immediately agree to the joint proposal made by the Oui family. At this moment, the Luo family suddenly swept across the central and northern regions of the Homoto country with the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, which shocked the Oui family and the Oui family. What was even more timely was that Aoi Nagaki, who had returned to Nanfei, also secretly sent people to send someone to the hand of Yoshitaka Oui, a secret letter from the civil strife of the Soui family, which was actually made by the Luo family. The furious Oui Yoshitaka immediately agreed to Yoshitaka Oui's joint proposal. Yoshitaka Oui also decided to attack the Luo family with all its strength.
So Yoshitaka Ouchi sent Tao Longfang, who had previously clearly opposed the destruction of the alliance and plotted against the Luo family, to An Yiguo to assist the Maori family in fighting against the Niko family. At the same time, he sent Takeru Satori and Kiyoshi Duanmu to Ishimiko and put them under house arrest in disguise.
Although both Tao Longfang and Saori Takeru were dissatisfied with Yoshitaka Ouchi's arrangements. After all, the Danei family was their master's family, and the Luo family was just a powerful man with better relationships with them. There was no need to fall out with the master's family for the sake of the Luo family. In the Warring States Period, where interests are paramount, they finally accused Yoshitaka Ouchi's approach. Of course, what Saori Takeru and others did not expect was that when Saori Takeru was discussing with his retainers about jointly dealing with the Luo family with the Otomo family, Saori Risa was accidentally heard by Saori Risa, so she immediately sent someone to send the letter to Fatchai, but in the end she was still one step late.
In order to unite with the Oui family, Oui Yoshiki this time spent a lot of money. First, he directly divided the Oui family's Oui family's Oui family's Oui family's north bank. Secondly, he also sent his legitimate son Oui town to the Oui family as a hostage. Finally, in order to make the important officials of the Oui family agree with the alliance between the two families, he secretly sent many valuable gifts.
After the two families secretly reached an agreement, the Ouchi family first pretended to join forces with the Luo family to attack the Otomo family, and then the Ouchi family took the lead in attacking the Otomo family's Mihara County in the Chigo Kingdom.
In order to make the Luo family Masaru fool, the two families really fought in Ohara County with real swords and spears. Of course, in order to accurately grasp the movements of Luo family Masaru, Ototo Yoshiki even joined forces with the Hado family on Iki Island to secretly contact the Hado family's detailed works lurking in the Luo family's territory through the Hado family. It was through this detailed works around the Luo family's side that Ototo Yoshiki accurately grasped the plan of Luo family Masaru's sneak attack on the city of Takera, and made arrangements for ambush before being discovered by the Luo family's ninjas.
However, such a complete arrangement ultimately allowed Masaro Luo to escape. Although this battle caused the Luo family to lose a lot of elite troops, Otomo Yoshiki was still very dissatisfied.
"No, you must inform the Da Nei family immediately. If you cannot kill Luo's Masayoshi this time, you will inevitably suffer constant revenge from the Luo family in the future. Moreover, you have killed many elite members of the Luo family this time. You must take this opportunity to defeat the Luo family in one fell swoop." Ototo Yoshiki thought. The so-called "to take your life while you are sick, Ototo Yoshiki can be said to have learned the essence of this statement.
"According to the original plan with the Ouchi family, after this battle, the Ouchi family will first assist the family in capturing the Luo family's Korago Castle, located in the Katsuo Castle and Asahiyama Castle on the border of the Luo family. Finally, the Ouchi family is responsible for the attack on the Hokage Kingdom, and the Otomo family is responsible for the attack on the Katsuo Kingdom, and each divides the two countries. Even though the Luo family Masaro has fled now, the plan of the two families must continue."
"In addition, I believe that the military force of the Ito family has begun to march towards the border of the Hirago country at this time, and the powerful families of the Saira family in the Mitsugo Koma County should also be on the battlefield at this time. Although the Shimazu family has not yet made up its mind to betray the alliance with the Luo family, I believe that after learning that the Mitsugo had actually fallen into the hands of the Luo family, the Shimazu family will also be in great shock." Ototo Yoshiki continued to think.
Just as Ototo Yoshiki thought, after learning that the Kafei family, who currently controls most of the Nankaihou area, was actually a subordinate of the Luo family, the Shimazu family was indeed shocked.
This time, both Shimazu Takahiko himself and Shimazu keepers headed by Tadaro Ijiyuan all believed that they had to join forces with the Otomo family to stop the Luo family. However, at this time, they had to face a solemn problem. That is, once the Shimazu family betrayed the alliance with the Luo family, Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was hostage at the Luo family, would probably be beheaded.
Of course, in the interests of the family, even his own son, Takahisa Shimazu decided to give up. In this way, after discussion, the Shimazu family unanimously decided to betray the alliance with the Luo family. The time for betrayal of the alliance was chosen after the result of the decisive battle between the Luo family and the Oto family army came.
At the same time, Masayoshi finally convened the first retainer evaluation after being ambushed.
