495 Dilemma
Faced with Shan Xingyun's difficulty, Duanmu Qingzheng sneered and condemned:
"At the end of the previous year, before the Otomo family invaded Fei, some people deliberately put the Luo family, the most loyal ally of the Otomo family, aside and fought alone. Later, they were even more strangely defeated to the Otomo family under a great situation. After returning to the territory, they not only did not reflect behind closed doors, but also talked about the matter of the heirs of the Lord's family, and it seemed that they had known that the result of the war in their family was average. Since the Otomo family's envoy came to Zhoufang, some people have had a close relationship with him, which really made people wonder whether he was secretly engaging in the Otomo family!"
"You?" Sugi Xingyun was so angry that he lost his composure. After suddenly awakening, he immediately knelt down at Yoshitaka Ouchi and said, "Lord, my subordinates request a life and death dispute with him."
"Hahaha, come on, I have the intention of this. A guy who was frightened to the point of losing his hands when he saw Otomo's family was not afraid at all." Duanmu Qingzheng said with a bold smile.
"Okay, please calm down!" Yoshitaka Ouchi finally said this. As soon as this was said, the ministers, Duanmu Kiyoshi and others immediately bowed their heads and apologized.
"Tell me, Kiyoshi. Talk about Masayora's meaning." Yoshitaka Ouchi continued.
"Master Dazai Dayi, since the Battle of Otahara, the Otato and Otomo families have reconciled under the mediation of the shogunate Yoshikyu Ashikaga, but just before the last year, the Otomo family took advantage of the emptiness of the Otomo family, and it can be seen that the Otomo family is a traitor and is definitely not trustworthy. On the contrary, not only actively responded to the Izumo strategy of Otomo, but the head of the family resolutely returned to the Otomo family with injuries before returning to the Otomo family. This shows that the Otomo family is indeed a close ally of the Otomo family. Now, the Otomo family sends troops to the Hokyu family again. If the Otomo family chooses to stand by and watch at this time, once the Otomo family is in a great position in the Hokyu family, it will definitely be a powerful enemy of the Hokyu family." Duanmu Kiyomasa said bluntly.
"What do you think?" After listening to Duanmu Kiyoshi's words, Yoshitaka Ouchi pondered for a while, he looked up and looked up at the ministers in the meeting hall and asked.
"Lord, the Otomo family is the current enemy of our family. Our family should immediately send troops to support our ally, Luo family." Tao Longfang, who had not spoken before, said.
"Opposition is a battle between the Otomo family and the Luo family. There is no need for the family to send troops to build the village and fall into the dispute between the two families." Sugihiroyuki raised the banner of opposition again.
"Where are you?" Yoshitaka Ouchi once again turned his attention to Naito Yoshimori, Saori Takeru and others, obviously hoping to listen to their opinions.
"Everything is decided by the lord." Unexpectedly, Naito Hiromori, who had always opposed his family's troops, no longer expressed his opposition to the situation clearly.
"Everything is decided by the lord." Xiang Liang Wu Ren, who has always been smooth in his work and also said to avoid suspicion.
"Everything is decided by the lord." Seeing this, the rest of the retainers knelt on the ground and said.
For a moment, the decision-making choice was back to Yoshitaka Ouchi.
"Since that's the case, I'll discuss this later." Yoshitaka Ouchi said simply. At this time, he was still worried about the tea party this afternoon, so he really didn't care much about the dispute between Otomo and the Luo family. So the matter about whether to send troops to build the post was put on hold.
Sugi Yoshiyuki seemed very happy about this result, because at least Yoshitaka Ouchi did not make the decision to send troops. Although Duanmu Kiyomasa still frowned, his heart felt relieved. Even though the Ouchi family did not decide to send troops, as long as the Ouchi family did not pursue the assassination of the Ouchi family's envoy being assassinated, this was enough. The only one who was most dissatisfied with this result was probably the Ouchi family. However, except for Yoshitaka Ouchi who became Yoshitaka Yuko Ouchi, there was no one else who could speak at this time.
Just when the three families of Otoku, Luo family and Otomo were still in Yamaguchi Pavilion, the game was constantly on whether the Otoku family should send troops to build the future, Otofumo Yoshimi, who was in the main formation of the Otoku family, was in a dilemma.
Although he had built an encirclement of the Luo family during his expedition to the Luo family, everything has been going well since the army began.
First of all, Shiga's army, as the pioneering force, was ambushed by the Luo family and suffered heavy losses. Even his important minister Shiga's army died tragically. This was not a blow to him who was determined to give the Luo family a heavy blow. What's more serious is that it was also a blow to the morale of the entire conquest army.
Secondly, just when Otomo and Luo family armies confronted at the foot of Gaoliang Mountain, bad news came from Feihou. The Feihou's expedition army was ambushed by the Luo family in Feihou territory. Not only was the entire army defeated, but it even suffered heavy losses. As the general of the expedition army of this expedition army, Yoshihiro Kanri was not only conquered, but even the military powers of the various rich families of Feihou were defeated and could no longer threaten the Luo family's territory. What made Otomo Yoshiki the most furious
Yes, Kikuchi Yoshio, who had previously secretly promised him to reconcile, actually betrayed him again. Not only did he participate in the ambush battle between the Luo family and the Oto family, but he also launched an attack on the Chixing family, the Chixing family, the loyal ally of the Chixing family. During the ambush battle, he killed the Chixing family's army headed by Chixing family, and then even captured the Chixing family's Jucheng Jufucheng. The Tong family, who escaped by luck, was forced to escape to Fenghou and defect to the Oto family.
Finally, it was news from the Goshima Navy. Although at the instigation of the Oto family, the generals of the Goshima Navy came to the Luo family envoy, Masato Tao, who was accomplice of the Goshima, were detained. However, the Goshima Navy did not follow the advice of the Oto family envoy to kill the Luo family envoy. What disappointed Oto Yoshima even more was that the Goshima Navy only gathered on the edge of the Luo family's territorial sea, but did not launch an attack on the Luo family's navy.
Therefore, since the expedition in June, each of the three armies organized by Otoyo Yoshiki has suffered a blow to varying degrees or made no progress.
"Damn the Luo family!" Otomo Yoshikazu said angrily. He knew that as long as his army made progress, the Five Islands naval troops would make up their minds to attack the Luo family, and the wealthy families in the Feihou side would unite again, and even re-establish a Luo family to conquer the army. However, he was helpless at this time.
It has been nearly a month since the two families started war at the foot of Gaoliang Mountain. August is about to enter, but the Otomo family's army has been trapped in a tug-of-war with the Luo family.
The Luo family adopted the trench tactics, constantly digging trenches on the battlefield between the two armies, and then relying on the trench to block the Otomo family's attack. This forced Yoshiki Otomo, who originally planned to use the advantage of the number of people to launch a tactic of the Luo family's family, to fall into a battle against the trench with the Luo family.
However, the bows and arrows and iron cannons of the Luo family are really powerful, especially those weapons called iron cannons. When attacked at close range, even the wooden shield used as guards will be shot through by the round beads shot by the iron cannons. In order to deal with these weapons, Yoshiki Yoshiki was racking his brains, but they still had little effect. Therefore, since the two armies started the war, the Otomo family's army did not have the chance to reach the edge of the Luo family's own formation at one time. Based on this situation, Yoshiki Yoshiki's temper is getting worse and worse, and he often finds people to vent his anger.
As a military advisor, Utsuki Kanji, he was also very clear about why Otomo Yoshiki's temper was so irritable. While he felt deeply guilty about suggesting Otomo Yoshiki and Kikuchi Yoshitake to discuss peace, he also hoped that Otomo Yoshiki could decisively order the withdrawal of troops. With the incident between the two major troops of the Goshima Navy, the army of this route encountered obstacles. Utsuki Kanji had already predicted that this time the conquest against the Luo family could only be temporarily given up. If the stalemate continues, it will only become increasingly unfavorable to the Otomo family.
Regarding the withdrawal of troops, Usuki Kansui had already proposed to Otomo Yoshiki Yoshiki, but was rejected by Otomo Yoshiki. Otomo Yoshiki still had hope of defeating the Luo family army at the foot of Gaoliang Mountain, and he relied on an army of more than 10,000 people under his command.
In this regard, Utsuki's Speed Agent is a bit helpless. In Utsuki's Speed Agent, there is only one way to break the Luo family's trench positions, that is, to attack the Luo family's position regardless of casualties. However, in order to maintain its own strength, neither the Otomo family nor the tyrants subordinate to the Otomo family will do this. This is also the reason for the current confrontation between the coalition forces. After sighing in his heart, Utsuki's Speed Agent opened his mouth to persuade Otomo Yoshiki to temporarily stop the army again.
"Report!"
At this moment, a warrior came out of the tent to report loudly.
