This is a valley sandwiched between two forests.

The humid and rainy weather in the south allowed the entire canyon to be occupied by pine, cypress and low shrubs all over the mountains.

"Wow!" As the sky darkened, the open canyon was blowing, making the entire canyon sound.

Night falls, and the cold moon hangs in the sky.

"Tait..."

At this time, a team of troops slowly walked into the valley with torches.

"Sir, it's this valley." A man with a little short but very agile figure turned his head and looked at a man in the team with red armor tied with a water-colored knot, a white star pocket on his head, and an eight-phase front finger, and a beautiful samurai sword hanging on his waist.

"Well, send the order and let's rest here tonight." With this man's order, a large army entered the valley one after another, and then quickly built a temporary camp on the spot. The person who issued the order was Zhengliang himself. In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy as the primary target because he was wearing too conspicuous armor, Zhengliang chose to wear such a slightly ordinary armor.

This was the third night that Zhengliang and others entered the Jiulian Chongshan Mountains.

Three days ago, Masarara offered the conditions to hand over the territory of the Shiga family directly into the Quehara Kita-shiga family to the Minami Shiga family, and then let Irida Yoshimi enter the city alone and persuade him to surrender.

Masara gave this condition to the Minami Shiga family for a reason. Yoshimi Irida told Masarara that in the past, the Minami Shiga family was originally a family, but later they separated because of the competition for the position of the family governor. The elder brother took control of the Minami Shiga family, and the younger brother took control of the Minami Shiga family. It turned out that the Minami Shiga family also had territory on the east bank of the Ono River, but it was later occupied by the stronger Kitashi family. Since then, the Minami Shiga family was driven to the barren area of ​​the Minami Shiga family that was invaded by the volcanic ash of the Nine-Lian Heavy Volcano that erupted at any time, and was far away from the fertile land in the Ono River Basin.

At this time, Shiga Jiantou, the head of the Minami Shiga family, was reportedly assassinated by the Kita Shiga family. Therefore, the two families have been in disagreement. If it weren't for the mediation by the Otomo family, the weaker Minami Shiga family would have been annexed by the Kita Shiga family. The Minami Shiga family had always planned to regain its original territory on the east coast of the Ono River. Now Masara promised that as long as the Minami Shiga family was willing to surrender, the territory of the Kita Shiga family would be granted to the Minami Shiga family.

With the current interests, and Nanshan Castle has been besieged by the right formation of the first army of the Luo family, Shiga Jianlong and Shiga Yoshiki's brothers tried to go out of the city to fight, but were defeated by Shiga Nobuyuki and Gongwen Chongtaka, and had to retreat back to the city to defend the city.

Although I had been reminded by the Otomo family to beware of the invasion of the Luo family of the Hokage Kingdom in the west. So they also prepared some materials to defend the city in the city, but because the Minami Shiga family was not very wealthy, the materials in the city were not enough to support for two months. If the Luo family army outside the city had not retreated and the Otomo family had no reinforcements, they would suffer. When the two brothers were sad, Yoshimi Irida entered the city to persuade them to surrender. In the eyes of Shiga Jiantou and Shiga Yoshiki's brothers, the Otomo family had always favored the Kita Shiga family before, and even when supporting the various families to prevent the invasion of the Luo family, they only supported the Kita Shiga family, and did not care about their Minami Shiga family. In addition, Yoshimi Irida's emotional persuasion, driven by interests, the two brothers decisively surrendered the city.

After receiving the surrender of the Minami Shiga family, Masara decisively left some generals and military forces to stay in the local area to ensure that the siege of the Kita Shiga family and the Oto family in Ono County were continued. Then, under the leadership of the mountain hunters provided by the Kita Shiga family, he led the remaining military forces to march into the Jiulianzhong Mountains.

Masayoro was happy that there was indeed a mountain road leading to the Oita-gun area. The only problem was that this mountain road was just a mountain road for hunters to enter the mountain, so it was quite narrow and winding.

"Lord, please sit down." Just as Masara stood there waiting for everyone to arrange the big tent, Yoshimi Irida and Shiga Jiantou and several other tyrants who had already surrendered to the Luo family, put up a horse for Masara (Masara also brought the military power of the tyrants to the Oita County this time). Because he joined the Luo family, these tyrants were worried that Masara would destroy the bridges across the river, so he rushed to show goodwill to Masara along the way.

Masara nodded slightly to the people, sat on the stool, and then said to the person standing beside him: "Changzeng. It's about to enter Oita County, don't forget your and my bet at that time."

When the people around Zhengliang heard this, they immediately smiled bitterly. The other wealthy families who had already defected to the Luo family were immediately happy after hearing this.

The person Masarara said was Yoshioka Nagato, the Otomo family who was captured by the Luo family two years ago. The Yoshioka Nagato family was a tributary of the three-generation governor of the Otomo family, and therefore was also the Otomo family of generations. It was only a dozen years ago that Yoshioka Nagato was defeated again and again in the battle with the Otomo family in Kitakyushu. Even surrendered to the Otomo family (not surrendering to become the Otomo family’s retainer), although he later returned to the Otomo family. However, Yoshioka Nagato has been despised by Otomo Yoshioka since then, and the Yoshioka Nagato was also suppressed by Otomo Yoshioka. In history, Yoshioka Nagato was reused after he came to power in Otomo Yoshio Town, and gradually showed his talent in diplomacy and strategy, and eventually grew into one of the famous "Three Olds of Tomogo" in the Otomo family.

Now, Yoshioka Changzeng's fate has changed with the arrival of Masara. In the Otomo family's strategy for the Luo family two years ago, Yoshioka Changzeng unfortunately became a prisoner of the Luo family. He was then placed under house arrest in the Luo family Tadao Temple in No Takayama, Matsuura County, Himeko. He originally thought that Otomo Yoshioka Yoshioka would find a way to redeem him, but Otomo Yoshioka not only did not redeem him, but even stopped the Yoshioka's action of redeeming him, and also spoke to the Yoshioka's hope that the Yoshioka family would choose another governor. This greatly hit Yoshioka's loyalty to the Otomo family.

Of course, Yoshioka Geng is not so easy to lose his integrity. After several persuasions by Masayoro, he still cares about the Ototo family (after all, it is also the division of the Ototo family. I guess he is worried that his surrender will bring bad luck to the family). However, over the past few years, the Ototo family has been defeated by the Luo family, which has made Yoshioka Geng increasingly disappointed with the Ototo family. He is increasingly dissatisfied with the Ototo Yoshiki, the governor of the Ototo family.

It was not until last year that the coalition forces of the Otomo family and the Oui family were defeated by the Luo family that he realized that it was not that the Otomo family's governor was incompetent at this time, but that the Luo family's governor was too strong. In the past, his thinking was mainly focused on his own (this is also one of the reasons why he has never surrendered to the Luo family. Before, the Luo family did not even get the opportunity to face him). Now he has finally begun to examine the young Luo family's governor, Masaliang.

This time, Masayora found him specifically before he went out and asked him if he was interested in following the Luo family's army to launch a battle with the Otomo family's base camp Fenghou.

After hearing the news that the Luo family was about to take the Fenghou, he was stunned at first, and then laughed immediately. He admitted the Luo family's ability and even more recognized the strength of the Luo family, but he believed that the Luo family planned to take the Fenghou shortly after a war last year. This was too delusional. Don't talk about whether the Luo family could still support a war in such a short time after experiencing a war last year. With the strength of the Otomo family, he could also drive the Luo family out of Fenghou in shame. So he immediately said that the Luo family would be defeated this time.

Masara immediately sarcastically at Yoshioka Nagazuki. Angry, Yoshioka Nagazuki simply swears that if the Luo family could reach his family's territory, then he would surrender to the Luo family. After all, the Yoshioka family's territory is within Oita County, the hinterland of the Fenghou Kingdom. If the Luo family's military power can really march here, it means that the Otomo family is not far from destruction.
