In the battle at the foot of the Hokami Yamashima in the Nagato Kung Fu, Nagato's army was defeated by the army that rushed out of the mountains and forests and the cavalry of the Luo family who blocked the retreat in the rear.

Naito Takae and Katsumada Morinaga died in battle. Many of his retainers and relatives were killed. Even the others who were not killed in battle were unable to escape due to the restrictions of the terrain and all became prisoners of the Luo family.

After a little rest, after the garrison of the Bizaki Castle who arrived after hearing the news, Kakuma Shisong immediately led the army to kill the city of Katsuyama Castle overnight in the Naito family's important town in Toyoura County. And that night, with the secret help of Sesao, who lurked in Naito's house in the city, opened the gate of Katsuyama Castle at night and took down Katsuyama Castle in one fell swoop. Since then, all the plains in the southern part of Toyoura County fell into the hands of the Luo family.

In early October of the 21st year of the Astronomy, when the Luo family was reorganizing their troops in Katsuyama Castle and preparing to continue to attack other areas of Toyoura County, Naito's house, shocking news came from the Naito family's main castle, Arakaki Castle. The most hopeful that after Naito Takashi's death, Naito Takaharu, who was about to go out to fight the invasion of the Luo family, was killed by his retainers because of a conflict with his retainers. The Naito family was instantly in chaos.

So Tao Longfang, who had already been ready, immediately entered the territory of the Naito family under the banner of assisting the Naito family to fight against the invasion of the Luo family, and secretly began to accept the territory of the Naito family. When some of the Naito family's retainers saw the decline of the main family, they took the initiative to join Tao Longfang's arms.

While the Naito family was in chaos, Tao Longfang was busy taking over the influence of the Naito family, the Luo family army led by Kakumakuma Shisen also continued to set out. In just a few days, he captured the Kayayama Castle located at the mouth of the Koya River, along the coast of the Nagato Nationality Shobatan, and at the junction of Toyoura County and Osaka County.

However, after conquering Qishancheng, the army of the Luo family did not take the opportunity to enter the territory of Housaka County. Instead, after leaving some guards to guard Qishancheng, they turned north along the coast of Muwuchuan, and included the territory along the way into the territory of the Luo family. Until they arrived at another important town in Fengpu County, Yada Castle.

Yada Castle was originally a territory of the Qingjing Takashi clan, but later it was taken down by the aggressive Tao Longfang. The Qingjing Takashi clan, who was short of soldiers, was under house arrest in a nearby territory. This time, after receiving letters from Qingjing Takashi sent people to send them back in advance, they immediately launched an riot in the territory. The Tao defenders of Yada Castle took the opportunity to use this as an excuse to give up the fortress and retreat to the nearby border of Mine County.

At the same time, Tao Longfang also took this opportunity to hand over the Qing Jinglong clan to the Luo family and fulfilled the contents of the alliance agreement. These Qing Jinglong clan members will be uniformly sent to Zhuhou Kingdom to settle down soon. Although these clan members are a little reluctant to leave these territories, at least from then on, they can stay away from the sphere of influence of the Tao family, which can threaten their clan, and live a stable life, so the resistance is not high. As for the clan mentioned in the alliance agreement, the clan of Xiangliang Wuren was exchanged with the excuse of exchanging prisoners of war after the war.

After taking down Yada Castle, the Luo family army left some soldiers to stay in the local area to be responsible for the guards. They immediately entered the local mountain path, shuttled through the dense forests in the local area, and successfully captured the Maruguyama Castle, which was already in the shore of Yugo Bay in early November. Since then, the entire Fengpu County of Nagato Country fell into the hands of the Luo family.

At this time, the Tao family army in the inner county town, which was also located on the border between Fengpu County and Housaka County, finally took action. They took action from the inner county town on the side of Housaka County. They began to march towards the Jiashan Castle on the side of Fengpu County, trying to recapture the Jiashan Castle. Umura Moto Tsuna, who was responsible for staying here, and the two of Luo Shingoro immediately went out to fight and "fighted" at the border on the side of Housaka County.

A few days later, the Luo family army was defeated and retreated back to Qishan City, and the Tao family army also retreated back to the inner county city. The two armies then confronted each other at the border.

This battle was actually the final battle between the Luo family and the Tao family, the Nagato country. The so-called fierce battle was just a good show for other powerful people to watch. The purpose was to avoid people seeing that the two families were colluding against the Naito family this time. In this "fighting battle", not only did no one person die in the battle, but even the injured injured on both sides were only injured in the explosion.

After the battle of the Naito family, the Nagato Guardian clan, who helped the Ouchi family manage several generations of the Nagato country, basically announced his withdrawal from the stage of history. The one who benefited the most this time was naturally Tao Longfang. On the surface, although he lost the territory of the Nagato country's Toyoura County compared to the same period of history, the Tao family gradually annexed the other Nagato family, Toyoura, Mine, Otsu, and Awu counties, and the affiliated Nagato family, became the direct territory of the Tao family. If we calculate its true strength, the Tao family at this time was even stronger than just nominally controlling the Nagato country (in history, it is necessary to control the Nagato country through the Nagato family).

Masayoshi was also happy to see such a result. After all, the Luo family needs Tao Longfang as the striker of the Maori family, the Yoshimi family and even the Nizi family. In addition, with the help of the Tao family, the Luo family easily obtained another county land. Why not do this?

In December, just as the Luo family was busy taking over the newly occupied Nagato territory and began to resettle the thousands of weeks of defense countries that the Tao family "driven" and the Nagato was famined and refugees. Good news came from the official garrison stationed in Kyoto. After receiving the instructions of Masaru, after the operation of Masaru, the newly appointed Shogun Yoshito Ashikaga Yoshito (later renamed Ashikaga Yoshiki) officially appointed Masaru as the guardian of Kazuno and the guardian of Toyoto.

With the death of Ouchi Yoshitaka, some Ouchi Yoshitaka's official positions were naturally taken back by the shogunate and the court. Although Tao Longfang had sent people to regain these official positions in the name of Ouchi, they were blocked by the Nezi family's ministerial forces in the court. Instead, they were picked up by the Luo family.

Ashikaga Yoshihide's appointment to Masarara was also a move to win over. Since the mediation of the Hexaki Tachinora and Yoshiken and his son at the beginning of this year, the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshihide and Miyoshi Nagaki who defeated Hosokawa Harumoto and took advantage of the situation to control the Kyoto area. Hosokawa Harumoto became a monk and fled to Wakasa, while Ashikaga Yoshiki was able to return to Kyoto from Kenta and officially live the life of a shogun.
