Chapter 638 Rumors Are Spreading
On the 18th of the Astronomy (1549th), the cherry blossoms have begun to bloom, and the orioles are singing everywhere in the mountains and fields. It is the tender voice of early spring, and it is the melodious singing of competition, flowing into the ears of everyone like a clear spring.
This is the courtyard of the residence of the Lord of the Lord of the Hiraki Kyushu Hiraki. Masara's legitimate son Tang Wangmaru, second son Song Wangmaru and eldest princess Miki (i.e., Ta Miko) are slowly learning Cuju. Masara's daughters are teasing Masara's second daughter, Haruhi, who is just one year old, while watching the three children play with interest. Masara's second daughter was born last year and was born to Butuhi Miki. Because she was born in spring, she was named Haruhi.
At this time, Masara himself also laid a carpet in the corridor and enjoyed the joyful scene in the yard. Because Tang Wangmaru and others were very diligent in studying during this period (even received unanimous praise from several normal schools such as Kakumakuma Shisong, Yamamoto Kanasuke, and Masara really rarely spent time with everyone during this period, so today I organized everyone to play in the yard of the mansion for a day (it was almost crazy about three little guys).
The sun was shining. Looking into the distance from the yard, the top of the mountain in the distance was shining under the snow. Masayoshi leaned gently on the shore, wearing a Kyoto-style outfit and also drew his eyebrows. He was not so much appreciating Cuju, but also observing the beauty of the girls, but also caring about the affairs of the family. Just yesterday, he personally met Kato Duonzo, who rushed back from Zifeng Houguo, and learned about some of the situations in Otomo's family at this time.
During the battle between the two families in October last year, Yoshiki Otomo was directly shot by Masaru Masaru when he was about to escape from the rescue, and then hid in Kaoruli City under the escort of the army. Since then, he has hardly appeared in public. In Masaru Masaru, Yoshiki Otomo should be healing his wounds at this time. But he failed again on the Luo family's strategy (plus this time, the Otomo family has been defeated by the Luo family three times in a row), and the rich people in the country were panic and needed the family supervisor to stand up and stabilize the people's hearts, Yoshiki Otomo became quiet.
This made all the remaining officials in the family speculate and even rushed to Kakumu Licheng to seek a visit to the governor of the family. As an ally, the Outo family was also responding to the attack of the Luo family. While urging the Outo family to quickly go out again to reduce the pressure of the Outo family against the Luo family and stop the Luo family from invading the Luo family. However, until the Luo family completely occupied the western part of the Yuuto family and then signed a peace agreement with the Outo family, the Outo family still did not do anything. This forced the Outo family to pay attention to the situation of Outo Yoshimi.
When the Ouchi family faced the situation where the Nizi family and the Luo family attacked each other, and there were unstable factors within the territory, the Ouchi family also urgently needed a stable Ouchi family to help him share the pressure. They also knew the news that Ouchi Yoshiki was shot by Masaru himself (this news was actually deliberately promoted by the Luo family in various countries, and the purpose was naturally to create chaos in the enemy territory while promoting the bravery of the family governor Masaru. Masaru, who came from later generations, knew that the power of public opinion was very powerful, so he naturally tried his best to use it). Therefore, at the end of last year, he also sent an envoy to Kakumu Licheng to learn about Ouchi Yoshiki's injuries.
In order to resolve the speculations of the people and avoid the riots in China, it even caused the coveting of powerful people like the Luo family. Otomo Yoshiki unexpectedly appeared at the Otomo family's New Year's Annual Meeting at the end of last year. Since then, the situation in the Otomo family has gradually stabilized, and even the envoy of the Otomo family returned to the Otomo family after the Otomo family's New Year's Annual Meeting.
After obtaining the information from the god Shinmasato sent back by Kato Tamazo, Masara immediately came to a conclusion that Otoyoshi was seriously injured and was even dying. Otherwise, he would definitely not have met the retainers in the next scene (as for the doctor in charge of Otoyoshi's treatment, Masarara completely disbelief).
Is Ototo Yoshimiya really dying? The Ototo family's second-level collapse change that appeared in history has become a bubble. No, the Ototo family must not be safely transferred to the family governor. Even if the second-level collapse change cannot be repeated, we must find a way to create chaos within the Ototo family. Only in this way can the Luo family have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
So Masayoshi immediately issued several orders yesterday. First, he asked the Intelligence Bureau to send a large number of people into Fenghou Kingdom. While continuing to closely monitor the changes in Otomo's family, he also spreads a large number of rumors.
The first rumor is that the Otomo family's supervisor Yoshiki Otomo was about to die because of his serious injury. As for the most direct evidence, of course, it was the way that Otomo Yoshiki Otomo family met with his retainers at the next scene.
The second rumor is that Ototo Yoshiki decided to pass the position of the family governor to the third son, Hashimaru. The position of the family governor did not belong to the eldest son, Ototo Yoshijin (the later monk's name was Zong Lin), nor was it the second son who had been renamed Ouchi Yoshikazu.
The third rumor is to promote the bad things of the eldest son Otomo Yoshi-jin in an extremely ugly way. At the same time, he highly praised the wiseness of the third son. For example, the eldest son Otomo Yoshi-jin was rude and greedy for pleasure, while the wise and wise man Shimo-jin showed the potential of being virtuous and wise.
The fourth rumor is to talk about the deposed elders and the young children, as if they were talking about the eldest son.
The four rumors appeared at the same time, naturally to make the water in the Otomo family turbid. If only the two rumors above were spread, it would only make the retainers of the Otomo family realize that they were bad intentions of foreign pretenders. If the four rumors were circulating together, it would cause chaos among the retainers of the Otomo family and prevent them from gathering into a ironclad piece in constant doubt.
After issuing the above order, Zhengliang issued a new order to Ali and others in the Zhou defense area of Daneijia.
I don’t know why, after the war with the Luo family was temporarily over, the Oui family did not immediately release Otoyoshi Town, who was temporarily hostage in Zhou Fang, as the two allied hostages. Now, after learning that Otoyoshi Yoshiki was in critical condition, Masara naturally wanted to monitor Otoyoshi's movements immediately. The so-called name of a person and the shadow of a tree. As a famous hero in the Otoyoshi family in history, Masara really did not want Otoyoshi Town to inherit the position of Otoyoshi's family governor.
After formulating plans for Otomo family and Otomo Yi Town, Masara immediately ordered the border and other related combat teams to secretly prepare for combat, and even made the Internal Affairs Cabinet and Logistics Department ready for another battle. Opportunities will only favor those who are prepared. No matter what changes happen within the Otomo family this time, Masarara must also be prepared to obtain fighters at any time.
Regarding Masayoro's request, Dongxiang Heiji and others immediately raised objections, because of the successive wars and post-war arrangements, the family's grain reserves were already in a critical state. If there was another war, it would likely lead to a food crisis, and even the daily territory operation would be affected. At that time, we can only pray for a good harvest this year.
