Kitahara Kasuo is already in his thirties. For a wealthy general in his thirties, not only is he upright and young and strong, but his life experience is also quite rich. It is precisely because he likes this little bit that he is also the legitimate son of the Kitahara family, and he is not looked down upon by the Luo family in terms of identity. So after discussion, the Qi Dayuan family, the Takashi family, the Takashi family, the Ryukari family, and the Kitahara family unanimously elected Kitahara Kasuo as the envoy for this envoy.

However, when facing Masayoshi, who was only twenty-five years old, Kitahara Kasuo also played his above advantages at all. Whether it was on-the-spot response or experience, Kitahara Kasuo felt that he was not facing a young family governor, but a cunning and cunning big name.

After some negotiations, the forces of Kitasatsu, Kitao Osumi and Nishihiga, represented by Kitahara Kazuma, finally achieved the goal of alliance with the Luo family, but also paid a lot of money:

First of all, they must assist the Luo family in taking over the Sagami family, which is entrenched in the Minami-Hayou Komo County, so that the Luo family can completely control the entire area of ​​the Hokage. The Luo family who proposed this condition also has sufficient reasons. First, let the Kitahara family and other forces make up for the mistake of sending troops to help the Sagami family and the Uemura family when they sent troops to help the Sagami family; second, the verbal mediation of the Luo family alone may not be able to stop the Shimazu family's strategy, so the Luo family must fully occupy half of the remaining Komo County in the Feihou Kingdom, so that the Luo family's sphere of influence can be connected with their sphere of influence, so that the Shimazu family can understand that as long as the Luo family is willing, they can send troops to support these forces at any time, and the Shimazu family will be restrained.

Secondly, the forces represented by Kitahara Kazuo Detention Center must pay 20,000 shi of food to the Luo family as apologize for the last offense to the Luo family, and even more so as the reward for the Luo family to mediate this time when the Luo family risked breaking the alliance with the Shimazu family.

Finally, the Luo family proposed that the forces represented by the Kitahara Kazuya Detention Center could submit to the Luo family in form. This way, the Luo family had an excuse to mediate. However, this request was firmly rejected by the Kitahara Kazuya. After a debate, it finally changed from surrender to forming an alliance. This gave the Luo family the righteousness to mediate the conflict between the Shimazu family and them.

Of course, the idea of ​​making the forces represented by Kitano-Kahara Detention Center surrender to the Luo family was just a means to further exploit the negotiating opponents discussed by Masayoshi and his retainers. After some analysis, the Luo family actually thought that this was not the time to directly intervene in the local interest competition. Even if the other party is willing to surrender at this time, the Luo family must seriously consider it.

The situation in Mian Kyushu at this time was indeed quite complicated. Especially at the borders of Satsuma, Osumi, Hinata and Hiroko, there were a large number of forces from all sides here.

In the northeast of Satsuma Country, there are the Qidayuan family, the Takagi family, the Takada family, the Shibuya family, the Rikika family and other forces here; in the northern and western regions of Osumi Country, close to this place, there are the Kitahara family, the Pusheng family, the Kamayama family and other forces; and in the adjacent southwest of Hinata, there are the Kitahara family and the Miraki family and the Komakoshi area adjacent to these three places, there are the local wealthy forces such as the Saira family and the Uemura family.

In addition to these forces, there are even greater forces. In the Satsuma region to the southwest, the Shimazu family is rapidly expanding its forces to the North Satsuma and even the North Osumi and West Osumi regions.

To the south, the Ganfu family, the most powerful man in Dayu, who is trying to fully occupy the Dayu Kingdom. To the southeast are the Hinata Ito family and the Kitago family, which are fighting. Finally, the giant Luo family is in the northwest.

The relationship between these major forces is also complicated. On the surface, the Shimazu family in the southwest is an alliance with the Luo family and the Ganfu family on both sides, but on the one hand, it is guarding against the Luo family, and even decisively taking advantage of the Luo family when the Luo family is in an unfavorable situation (Masara is self-aware of the Shimazu family's idea. If the Shimazu family is in trouble, Masarara will also make this choice). On the other hand, it is preparing to invade Osumi Kingdom and oppose the Ganfu family.

The Ganfu family in the south formed an alliance with the Shimazu family while guarding against the Shimazu family. At the same time, it supported the Saigo family in the south Hinata region northeast of the Osumi Kingdom to fight against the Ito family (in history, after the Shimazu family began to invade the Osumi Kingdom in the future, and the Ito family embezzled the South Hinata and was invited to enter the northern part of the Osumi Kingdom to fight against the Shimazu family, the Ganfu family formed an alliance with the Ito family).

In the southeast, the Kitago family just took advantage of the fact that another local tycoon, Shimazu Family, Fengzhou, had no son. So Kitago family, Tadaosaki, gave his son Tadaosaki, his adopted son Tadaosaki, to Tadaosaki Shimazu, as the adopted son of Tadaosaki Shimazu, and he inherited the position of Shimazu Family in Fengzhou. Tadaosaki Shimazu Family afterwards abdicated and lived in seclusion. He handed over the position of the Tadaosaki Shimazu Family in the first son of Tadaosaki Shimazu Family in the north to Tadaosaki, the eldest son of Tadaosaki.

So the Shimazu family and the Kitago family in Fengzhou were equivalent to being under the leadership of the Tadonic family in the Kitago family. So in fact, these two families had already joined forces to form one. After unifying the local area, the Kitago family was not satisfied with its current territory, so they began to march towards the capital basin in the northwest. Here, it met the Iton family, which was also moving southward.

The Ito family, under the rule of Yiyu Ito, under the control of Yiyu Ito, had occupied all the territories in the central and northern Hinata Kingdom at this time, but even so, since more than 70% of the land area is Kyushu Mountains, Kirishima Mountains and other mountainous areas, and the arable land area is less than 10%. Although forestry resources are relatively abundant and fishery around the coast are relatively prosperous, the territorial income is too low, which is obviously not enough for the ambitious Ito Ito Yoshio.

So Yiyu Ito targeted the Kobayashi, Capital and other basins in the southern region. At this time, the Kobayashi Basin was controlled by the Kitahara family, while the larger capital basin was controlled by the Kitagaya. In order not to immediately touch the vigilance of all the wealthy families in the south, Yiyu Ito took the method of fighting against the Kitahara family and the Kitagayashi family. First, he pointed the attack target at the Kitahara family, the capital basin, and at the same time he also brought the Kitahara family, and even the Aoki family joined forces to deal with the Kitahara family for foreign aid.

At this time, the main purpose of the Ito family was to occupy the southern part of the Hinata as soon as possible to achieve the unification of Hinata, and then rely on the mountainous terrain on the Hinata border to resist the suddenly rising giant Luo family. So he first actively responded to the Oto family's request for support when the Oto family of the Hinata was attacked by the Luo family. Then he sent troops to enter the Nanfei Hou Suori family when the Nanfei Hou Suori family was on the verge of destruction. He even loudly condemned the Luo family when the Oto family's old nest was invaded by the Luo family, and even sent troops to the Sahiro family, the Sahiro family, who was invaded by the southern part of the Hoso country of the Hoso country of the Hoso country of the Hoso country of the Hoso country, to fight against the Luo family. All this was just to defend the enemy outside the gate and let some scapegoats block the Luo family's approaching towards the country.

The complex situation in the southern part of Jiuzhou is really like a big fish and a small fish mixed in a pool of muddy water, and the situation is confusing.

The Luo family's goal for the southern part of Kyushu was quite simple, that is, to seize half of the Qiumo County, which had not been unified in the end, was occupied by the Suiliang family, the Uemura family and several local small families, and to complete the entire rule of the Feihou country.

Why does Zhengliang attach so much importance to the remaining half of the Qiumo County?

First, because this half of the Qiumo County is located in the most fertile area of ​​the Qiumo Basin, one of the famous granaries in Feihou Kingdom. After seizing this place, the Luo family's income will increase by at least 30,000 stones.

Second, this place connects the Nankai and Bei Osumi area, and is almost the east gate of the Nankaigo area. Once this gate is opened, the forces of the Hinata and Osumi can easily enter the Nankaigo area, causing damage to the territory of the Luo family.

Third, for the need for defense, similar to the terrain of Hinata, the border junction between Hinata, Hinata, Osuki and Satsuma are almost all mountainous terrain. As long as this area is closed in your hands, the Luo family will form a complete mountainous defensive front on the border of Hinata, which is conducive to the Luo family's external defense.

As for what strategy the Luo family will have after occupying the last half of Qiumo County, it depends on the specific situation.
