Chapter 866 Request for Armistice
The Battle of Itsukijima was also a far-reaching impact on the Konoya...
First of all, as an ally of the Maori family, at the invitation of Mori Motozumi, during this battle, the Kono family almost sent all their naval forces to support the Maori family. As a result, after the battle, the Kono family's naval forces did not even float back to the Kono family.
What's even more serious is that the Luo family's naval army took advantage of the victory and not only annexed the three naval forces of Inshima Murakami, Noshima Murakami and Raishima Murakami in the waters near Ichiyu, but also took advantage of the situation to attack and capture the nearby Imae Port, Takashenyama Castle and Kyotobian Yama Castle. At this point, the Luo family not only completely controlled the Seto Inland Sea at once, and the navy forces infiltrated the Suitan Sea, but also obtained the entire Noma County and half of the Otsuchi County of the Beiyiyu Country. What made Konobu Nao feel depressed was that these one and a half counties were the territory of the Kono family.
Just when Kono was depressed, the Luo family naval army attacked again and robbed or destroyed the ships on the Iyutan (the waters west of the Iyutan Kingdom, which is connected to the Seto Inland Sea to the north and the Fenggo Waterway to the south. After mastering this, the Luo family turned the entire sea area around Kyushu, Xiguo, and Shiguo into the Luo family's inland sea) and the shipbuilding dock along the coast. In the Yiyutan, the Kono family was basically dominated by the Kono family's naval army. So this time, the Kono family suffered another disaster.
Seeing this, the Kono family was so heartbroken that they were crying. Kono's Tononaro really didn't know where the Kono family had offended the Luo family. Even if they had sent their own naval forces to support the Itsuki Battle of the Maori family, they would have attacked the Danai family. What's more, your Luo family did not even let go of the wooden board of the Kono family. The main force of the Kono family was destroyed by the Luo family. Now the Luo family is here to kill them again. It directly caused the Kono family to lose all the water ships and facilities.
You know, the territory of the Kono family is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Isn’t your Luo family breaking the wealth of the Kono family? Kono Tetsunaga really doesn’t know what life he has been in trouble. The Luo family, aren’t you bullying people? In desperation, Kono Tetsunaga had to send envoys to the Luo family’s naval barracks and fortresses in the Luo family’s naval barracks in the current Yegang Port to seek peace and truce.
This time, Tonona Kano finally knew why he was always bullied by the Luo family, because the messenger who went there to seek peace found that the Luo family's main general in the Yiyu area was actually Hunatong.
Who is Hunatongzhu? He was the legitimate son of Hunatong, a powerful general of the Kano family. Because the wealthy families of the Kono family took advantage of his father's death, they secretly united with Hunatongzhu's second brother to steal the interests of his family. They also supported his younger brother to obtain the position of governor of his family. As the lord, Tonaro Kono was unreasonable to Hunatongzhu's mother and son, which eventually led to Hunatongzhu's mother and sister being driven out of the territory by their second brother and embarking on a wandering journey.
Kono Tonaro really didn't expect that this little guy he looked down upon at that time had grown into a naval general of the Luo family. He secretly supported his younger brother to inherit the position of the Huna family's governor because he had accepted bribes from Huna Tongzhu's younger brother. It was estimated that Huna Tongzhu had always been resentful of this, so he deliberately targeted the Luo family this time.
In fact, this is just because Kono Toru Nao became a frightened bird and thought too much. Everything Hunato did before was done according to Masayoro's orders. Since he wanted to turn Kyushu, Xiguo, and Four Kingdoms around the entire sea area into the inland sea of the Luo family, he naturally had to fight all his strength to attack the forces around this sea area, especially their maritime forces. Masayoro only allowed the Luo family to dominate the sea area, and would never allow the appearance of maritime forces that could threaten the safety of the Luo family in this sea area. Of course, in the process of executing Masayoro, Masayoro also allowed his subordinates to avenge their revenge when completing his orders. After all, this was the promise made by Masayoro when he recruited these generals.
When they learned that the leader of the Luo family was Hunatong, the Kono family was really panicked. This panic was even more powerful than the previous series of invasions of the Luo family, because the Kono family had more or less participated in the actions of murdering Hunatong. Among these people, the one who was most afraid of was Hunatong's younger brother, who robbed Hunatong Gong, who was the governor of Hunatong.
Of course, before this, Hunatonggong had already received revenge from his brother Hunatong, because the Huna family's main territory in Yiyu Kingdom, the seven islands of Huna Beach, including the Taishan City, the residence city of the Huna family's previous dynasties on the main island, had all fallen under the control of the Luo family's naval army. Hunatonggong was only a small piece of territory on the main island of the Four Kingdoms, and this territory was still on the coast of Yiyu Beach, and it could be harassed by the Luo family's naval army at any time.
The reason why Huna Tonko was frightened was that in addition to his brother becoming a big shot who could threaten him, he also worried that Daime Kono Tonnao would give himself to his brother in order to truce the Luo family.
It is true, as Hunato Kyoko expected, not long after, in order to truce with the Luo family, Toruna Kawano and other rich families actually gave him a gift as one of the conditions for requesting a peace ceasefire.
After receiving the request for a truce from the Kono family, Hunatong sent someone to report the situation to the lord Zhengliang, who was in charge of the acceptance of the Oui family territory in the Yamaguchi area of Zhoufangguo. After Masarong learned about the situation, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to bring it to Hunatong.
After reading the lord Masayoro's confession, he suddenly closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then immediately found the messenger who the Kono family had been waiting for a reply, and said:
"If you want to truce, please hand over the remaining half of the Vietchi County."
"Sir, this is really too difficult for me. Besides, I can send Hunatong, who was unhappy back then, and ask for kindness to me." The envoy of the Kono family was shocked when they heard Hunatong, and immediately begged. You must know that it is humiliating enough to send his generals to the invading party to cease to fight. Now that the envoy has to ced the land and seek peace, the envoy can only be prepared to go back and be beheaded by his lord's hair to vent his anger.
"Hmph, if you don't want to hand over it, as for what the result will be, your side will be responsible for it. That villain, let him borrow the remaining little field to survive." Faced with the request of the envoy of the He Ye family, Hu Natong gave such a reply and ordered people to drive the envoy out of the Luo family's camp. (To be continued...)
