In early December, the cold winter had arrived. However, the Luo family's army in various parts of the Western Kingdom still did not stop the strategy.

The first army still surrounded the Yoshimi family at the border north of Nagato, and defeated several troops of the Yoshimi family who came to rescue him. The second army captured the Nobuda Maru Castle in the Sugi family of Nagato. With the fall of Nobuda Maru Castle, only the Naito family's remaining tribes were left in the central area of ​​Nagato. The third and fourth armies followed Masarae's orders, and at the same time advanced from the borders of Takamiya and Shatin County to the north to Yoshida County, the old nest of the Mori family in the north, causing Mori Moto to draw a large number of military forces from the Beyond Kingdom and even the Beyond China region to go to Yoshida County to assist.

Since Masaliang landed in the Zhou Fangguo Iwako area, he has taken the banner of Yoshizuno (this banner also helped to guide the first and second armies of Nagato and Zhou Fangguo, which were very busy, causing many local tyrants to surrender to them on their own initiative. This is also why the two tyrants made such rapid progress in the initial stage). At the same time, with the help of the Tao family and other wealthy families who had surrendered to the Luo family during the Battle of Itsushima, they quickly captured the three counties of Dadao, Jiuke, Xiongmao in the eastern part of Zhou Fangguo. In these areas, the Tao family, the Du family, Jiangliang family, and Yamazaki family, all joined the Luo family camp at the call of their surrender to the Luo family. For a time, Masaliang's army increased to more than 5,000 with the addition of various troops along the way.

In Masayora's view, such a powerful army should soon arrive at the ruling center of the Yamaguchi area of ​​Yoshikishi-gun. It will mainly take over here, and then it will be announced that the Danai family will be destroyed. The Luo family will replace him as the new masters of Zhou Fangguo and Nagato.

But what Masarong unexpectedly was that in his mind, the most easily taken place in the Tao family territory (before entering Yoshikishi, he had to pass through Tono County and Sabo County respectively), a major change occurred. The reason was that after learning that Tao Longfang was defeated in the battle of Itsudao, and the Luo family immediately invaded the Danei Family on a large scale, in the eyes of the Danei Family, there was neither blood orthodox nature nor actual prestige. He had relied on Tao Longfang to support him behind him. Now Tao Longfang is dead, and the outside family and puppet Yoshikazu Okanaga actually had the courage to compete with the Luo family. He immediately ordered Zhou Fangguo and Nagato to mobilize all over the country to resist the invasion of the Luo family.

The deployment of Ouchi Yoshinaga was like this. The Naito family's remnants defended the Matsutaki Castle of the Naito family's residence in the central region of Nagato, and the Zhou Fang Sugi family defended the Nobuda Maru Castle near the Matsutaki Castle, forming a mutual support force with Matsutaki Castle. Utsuta Takaraki stood firm in the Saha County of Zhou Fang, and Tao Naito, the son of Tao Naito, stood firm in Tomota Wakayama Castle (At this time, Ouchi Yoshinaga didn't know that all the tribesmen of the Tao family's war in Itsushima had surrendered to the Luo family). Ouchi Yoshinaga himself was in the Yamaguchi area and supported the four sides at any time.

Ouchi Yoshinaga was originally very confident in his arrangements, but what he did not expect was that shortly after the order was conveyed, it was soon heard that the governor of Zhou Fangshan family, Sugi Takata, actually took the opportunity to raise an army and raided the Tomota Ruoyama Castle where Tao Changfang was located. After a death battle, Tao Changfang and his younger brother Zhenming were both defeated and killed. The family was also exterminated, which was in line with Ouchi Yoshinori's death sentence, "Those who are tempted and those who are tempted are the same." The guardian of Ishimi was also the guardian of Ishimi, Tian Takamoto.

It turned out that before the Fengqian Shan family's last governor, Sugi Shigefuki, sent someone in advance to secretly send a letter to Shan Longtai, a relative of the Zhou Fangguo, a relative of the Zhou Fangguo. The letter bluntly stated that Tao Longfang colluded with the Luo family to jointly murder the Shan family. So at that moment, Shan Longtai was waiting for the opportunity to retaliate against Tao Longfang and avenge his relative of the Fengqian Shan family. Now he has finally waited for the opportunity. Will he let it go?

After capturing the Tao Family City Tomoda Wakayama Castle, Sugi Takata entered the Yamaguchi area under the pretext of killing Tsubukura, the youngest son of Touchi Longfang who was a small surname next to Ouchi Yoshinaga. After killing Tsubukura, he quickly controlled Ouchi Yoshinaga, thus controlling the power in Ouchi's family.

After a little rectification, in order to resist the attack of the Luo family, Sugita Tai quickly reached an agreement with the Naito family, the Utaka family and other wealthy families to divide the territory of the Ouchi family and the Zhou defense country in the future, and immediately joined forces with everyone to start to set up defense against the Luo family. In addition to the Naito family and the Utaka family continuing to defend their original castle according to the previous orders of Ouchi Yoshinaga, Sugita Tai gathered a large number of small wealthy families to station in the city of Mauma, Ide Castle, Tomota Wakayama Castle and other cities, attempting to resist Masara's army in Tono County to prevent him from entering Sugita Tai's old nest Saha County.

Zhengliang, who suddenly encountered an obstruction, was immediately surprised and recalled the general process of the demise of the great internal family in history.

In history, after Tao Longfang was defeated by the Mori family in the Battle of Itsujima and committed suicide. After the Mori family took the opportunity to invade the territory of the Ouchi family, Yoshinaga Ouchi also ordered all regions to mobilize to resist the invasion of the Maori family. At that time, the Tao family was also attacked by the Sugi family and was exterminated. However, the head of the Sugi family who attacked the Tao family was Sugi Shigesuke (the military force was the military force of the Sugi Shigesuke). After Todashi Wakayama Castle fell, Sugi Shigesuke marched into Yamaguchi Castle again because Tao Longfang also had a young son Tsukosuke, who was a little surname beside Yoshinaga Ouchi, and Sugi Shigesuke was red in his eyes and wanted to kill the roots.

However, before the Sugi family's army reached the Yamaguchi area, a group of troops rushed out to block the way. The leader was Naito Hiroshi Naito's grandson Naito Hiroshi (did not die in this period of history). Originally, Naito Hiroshi was also the main force of the Daoui family's armed faction, and Tao Longfang was considered half an ally. In addition, he was highly trusted and qualified, so he could serve as the mainstay of the Daoui family. His life was that Naito Hiroshi died a year before the Battle of Itsuki. (In reality, because he was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick by the Luo family, and was worried about the rise and fall of the big family, he died a few years earlier). What's even more, Xingsheng's daughter Ozaki Kazuki married Takamoto Mori, while his granddaughter married Tao Longfang. He was no longer a human being inside and outside, and the Naito family split: Xingsheng's legitimate grandson (Xingsheng's eldest son died early and was inherited by the legitimate grandson) Takashi supported his sister, who was a pro-Tao faction; Xingsheng's fifth son Takakura also supported his sister, who was a pro-Maori faction.

Mori Moto marched into the territory of Ouchi, and Takaharu Naito immediately announced that he had parted ways with his nephew and took some of his troops to join the Maori army. Takahei Naito also bowed to Uncle Wu: "Let's go slowly and don't see you, we will see you on the battlefield." The Naito family, who had originally saved the last hope of saving the Ouchi family, was also divided. When Takahei Naito heard that Sugishi had killed the brothers Tao Changfang and marched into Yamaguchi, he immediately led his troops to stop him and wanted to fight with Sugishi.

The two armies confronted at Yamaguchi Castle, and Yoshikazu Ouchi sent someone to send a letter: "Everyone should be united and not lose his own way." Naito Takao and Sugishi Shigesuke reached a consensus for the first time when they saw Yoshikazu's letter: tore the letter apart, then set up a battlefield in Yamaguchi Town, and set fire to a fire. In the end, Sugishi Shigesuke died in the chaos. Yamaguchi Castle, which was originally in the Daning Temple, was now burned by war. The prosperous Yamaguchi culture in the past disappeared.

In this way, the Maori army of the foreign enemy had not yet arrived. As the important minister of the Daouite, the Sugi family and the Naito family collided with each other, causing the Tao family to fall and the Shan family to be destroyed. The Naito family's internal strife was really a mess, full of smoke. The fate of the Daouite family was in the Rizhao and Setoyama, which was unable to be restored. In history, Maori Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to enter the Daouite family. But even so, it took him nearly two years to completely conquer the Daouite family's territory in Nagato and Zhou Fangguo, and forced the Daouite Yoshinaga to death.

Now with the outbreak of Sugi Takata, the Da Nei family has started civil strife again. But unlike history, the civil strife initiated by Sugi Takatata in history has now been changed to Sugi Takata. What is even more different from history is that because the forces of the Naito family and the Tao family suffered great blows at this time, Sugi Takata, who initiated the civil strife, took the opportunity of his family to control the voice of the Da Nei family in one fell swoop. While quickly grasping the power of the family, he immediately arranged the strategy of the Luo family. Compared with the civil strife in history, the resistance faced by the Luo family at this time will be even more difficult.

Therefore, Zhengliang had to curse the dead Tao Longfang fiercely in his heart. He really couldn't understand how he was called the Western State Wushuang General. After assassinating his relatives in Fengqian, he actually left the Shanlongtai clan in his home, which caused him to lose his sons and grandchildren.

After being arranged by Sugita Tae, the army where Masara is located is really hard to attack! Especially the northeastern Masara. It is a strong city surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side for the attacker to operate, and this side is still a difficult swamp. This is how the name of Masara is obtained. After several discussions with the retainers, he bypassed Masara and concentrated his forces to attack the coastal Ideo Castle and Toyama Wakayama Castle behind Ideo Castle. In addition to cutting off the connection between Masara and Sugi family base camp, he also opened the Avenue to Saha County, the old nest of Sugi family.

Then, the fierce battle in the cage began. What surprised Masara was that due to the tenacious resistance of the wealthy families guarding the city and the Sugi family, and the unwillingness of his servants to fight in winter, Masara's original plan to capture the Ide Castle and Toyama Wakayama Castle, which Masara originally planned to capture within one month, was not finally captured until the end of January of the second year of Hongzhi.
