The seventeenth year of Astronomy, 1548 AD.

This year was a very troublesome year for Kyushu.

In the southern part of Kyushu, the Shimazu family, which unified the Satsuma Peninsula, started war against the central part of Satsuma again, and suppressed the Togo family in the central part of Satsuma, the Iriyao family and other wealthy families are now sharpening their knives and heading towards the northern part of Satsuma that has not surrendered to them in the end. The war is about to break out again.

The civil strife of the Saira family lasted for more than a year and finally ended. The Jiafei family, which was originally an important official of the Omiya Si family, appeared, and occupied most of the Nanfei family, and forced the Saira family to huddle in the Higashikoshi County. Relying on the support of the local wealthy family, Ito family and the Ito family separated by the a mountain, and the Kitasatsuma, the Kitao family could withstand the invasion of the newly rising Jiafei family.

In the central area of ​​Feihou, the Luo family, which had been dormant for two years, suddenly appeared. Under the city of Kenshida in Shishige County, the Luo family suddenly attacked the Otomo family coalition and the Kikuchi family coalition, which were in fierce battles. They took advantage of the victory to capture the entire Feihou central area and advanced to the border between Feihou and Fenghou, and were very likely to invade the Otomo family's base camp Fenghou at any time.

Just as everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by the two places of Satsuma and Feihou, the autumn harvest had just ended, but the Ouchi family suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the territory of the Ouchi family in Chuhou. Only then did people realize that as the most powerful overlord of Kyushu, the Ouchi family had been watching the struggles of the powerful Kyushu, and at this time they finally had to participate in the feast of Kyushu.

"Reported that the army of the Oui family is fighting fiercely in Shanxi City with the army defending the city of Otomo family. The double-counterattack fight is quite fierce. The casualties are also quite heavy." A detective came to Masara to report in front of Masara.

As early as the Ouchi family launched an attack on the Otomo Castle Fortress, Masara personally led the army to the city of Kaori. This time, the first formation was the second standing team of four hundred people in the second standing team, the main generals were Tomohisa Oishi, the deputy generals were Samuda Nagakuen and Kazuhiro Kazui; the second formation was Masara's 100 cloaks and the 500 samurai team; the third formation was the 100-man iron artillery team, and the main generals were Ander; the fourth formation was the fourth standing team of five hundred people, the main generals were Masana Kinoshita, Masahiro Ueda, Junshi Shimahara, and Nagaru Akagi; the fifth formation was the logistics team of one thousand people, and the main generals were Honda Toshimasa. Hidemasa Akimoto was the military physician. The Kiyogokawa Kishikawa was responsible for guarding Katsuo Castle, and the third standing team of five hundred standing team led by Yoshida Shimamasa of Asahiyama Castle will be put into the battlefield at any time according to the situation.

"Well, who are the generals of the Daou family?" Masara continued to ask after hearing the situation on the north bank of the Chihou River when he heard the Detective Fan.

"The heads of the Ouchi family are Naito and Sugi, and the villain also saw Harada's governor Harada's family," the detective immediately reported.

"Why did you disappear from Tao Long's house in the Da Nei family? And also Suo Liang Wu Ren seems to have not responded to his inquiries yet." Zhengliang said in confusion.

"Tao Longfang and Takeru Saira seem to have been sent to support the battle between the Maori family and the Niko family before this." said Kanasuke Yamamoto, who was the military advisor to the army this time.

"Well, what do the two military advisors think about this?" Masaruo nodded, then asked Yamamoto Kansuke and Kakukuma Ishisou on both sides.

"From the current situation, the Ouchi family seems to be sincere in joining forces with the company to guide the Otomo family." Kakukuma Shisou said.

"I can't see anything unusual about the Okuno family for the time being." Yamamoto Kansuke also said.

"Since that's the case, then the Ming Japanese family raided the Takeno Castle of the Kusino family. According to the investigation of the detectives of the family, the Otomo family's military power was almost concentrated on the north bank of the Chigokawa River in order to deal with the attack of the Ouchi family. At this time, there will definitely be no reinforcements in the Kusino city. It is the best time for the family to conquer this city." Masarara said.

"Lord, why not lead the army directly to the city and then slowly carry out the siege?" Yamamoto Kanasuke said immediately.

"Haha, Kawasuke, if we can use the simplest method to capture the opponent's city, it is best for us to use a surprise attack. Otherwise, once the opponent persists to the arrival of the Otomo family's reinforcements, it will be a confrontation battle. Even if the family wins in the end, it will still lose a lot." Masayoro said with a laugh.

"Lord, please forgive me for saying that although my family's detectives did not find a large amount of military force around Kusano Castle, I don't know the situation in the city after all. I think the strategy of sneak attack is a bit too risky." Yamamoto Kanasuke advised again.

In Kanasuke Yamamoto's view, Masara was too pursuing the maximization of victory, which was a bit pathological. In his opinion, whether it was a big victory or a miserable victory, as long as it was able to achieve the victory goal, it was enough. Therefore, he felt very inappropriate about Masara's strategy of taking the risk of leading a small number of troops to sneak attack Kusino Castle.

"Kansuke, there is absolutely no castle in this world that can be easily obtained without taking risks." Masaru replied meaningfully.

"Lord, since you insist on doing this, then the minister begs not to participate in this battle, but instead takes on the position of the chief general." Yamamoto Kansuke, who knew Masato's character well, knew that no matter how to persuade him at this time, it would not shake Masato's decision, so he simply proposed a compromise solution.

"Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore. This time, Shi Zong will follow me to join us. If you help you stay at our own team, you will pay attention to the various information from our family and our family at any time." Zhengliang finally decided.

In this way, the decision was made about the departure of Kusino Castle.

In the 17th year of astronomical 19th year, the Gaoliang City of Houguo was built.

A torch was lit in the courtyard. The sky in the east gradually turned white, and the flames were no longer as fierce as before. The generals sat under the light, and their shadows swayed on the walls, revealing a solemn atmosphere everywhere.

Masara sat in the middle, Kakukuma Shisong on his right hand, and Tomohisa Oishi, Nagakura Samuda, Kenhiro Kurachi. In addition, Hidden, Ali, Sautoo Satorimaru, and Ryutsu Tatsu, who sat around. Everyone was fully armed and all had serious expressions. This time, Masarara only brought one hundred cloaks and the second-ranked light team led by Tomohisa Oishi. The rest of the people set out again after Masara launched an attack on Kusino Castle.

Zhengliang picked up the simple pottery wine glass, drank it, and followed it to everyone. No one said anything, but there was no sense of tragicness. Instead, it was very relaxed. It seemed that today's battle was just an indescribable battle. Of course, this was mainly because everyone knew that the Luo family was the invincible military gods' governor Luo family, and almost everyone thought that this battle would be won.

"Let's have a big fight." Tomohisa Oshima handed the cup to Samuda Nagakuen.

"Okay!" Samuda Nagaki was wearing brand new armor and laughed.

The war horse was already led into the courtyard and suddenly neighed. The cup was sent back to Zhengliang.

"Are you all ready?" Zhengliang stood up and suddenly smashed the Sucao wine glass to pieces.

"Oh! Oh! Oh..." Everyone raised their swords and shouted in unison. Started by Kuchi Kanhiro, everyone arrived in the courtyard. The dispersed atmosphere in the air was very inconsistent with the solemn ceremony of the expedition. The little surnamed Naoshiro Kaori led Mitsuki to Masara.

Before the sky was clear, Masara's army set out. According to yesterday's information, the reinforcements of the Otomo family had no time to take care of Zhucheng on the south bank of Kaochuan. The nearest Kusino family's guards were less than 100 soldiers. Masara was slapped at the grass wet with dew, and thought that the enemy might not know about this surprise attack, so that he could directly capture the enemy's general.

It was not yet dawn. The samurai carried a fan-shaped horse seal on his shoulder and followed with difficulty.

Just about half an hour after Zhengliang left, a family servant with a frosty face came to Gaoliang City, and threatened to hand it over to Zhengliang with an emergency token.

In view of Masayoro's absence, Yamamoto Kansuke personally received the visitor.

"Who are you?" Yamamoto Kansuke asked, looking at the servant in front of him who was obviously embarrassed because he came in the dark.

"Sir, the villain is Mrs. Riki's servant. This time, Mrs. Riki's servant ordered the villain to secretly send this token to the hands of the Lord." After the servant finished speaking, he took out a two-foot-long black lacquered wooden box from his arms, held it with both hands, and placed it respectfully on the desk in front of Kanasuke Yamamoto.

"Oh?" Yamamoto Kansuke also understood immediately. The Riki mentioned by this servant was the daughter of Saori Takeru. Originally named Saori Risa. In order to form an alliance with the Luo family, he was taken as his adopted daughter by Yoshitaka Ouchi and then married Masara. A year ago, Saori Takeru took Saori Risa back to Chikuma's home on the grounds that his wife missed her daughter. Later, he had an unhappy relationship with the Dainai family because of the fact that Saori Nagata was placed under house arrest by the Luo family. Due to the opinions of the retainers within the Dainai family, Saori Risa was never sent back to Taichung.

"Please thank the wife for her kindness on behalf of the head of my family, and at the same time, I also ask the wife to return to Feiqian as soon as possible. The head of my family misses her very much." After taking the wooden box, Yamamoto Kansuke didn't know what to say for a while. After all, this was a matter between the lord and his wife and concubine, so he had to bite the bullet and say in the end.

"Sir, isn't the Lord of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People? I learned that the Lord of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People, my wife repeatedly told the villain to hand this item over to the Lord of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People as soon as possible."

"Oh? This thing is so important?" Yamamoto Kansuke was stunned immediately, then seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a while, he simply opened the wooden box directly.

After the lid of the wooden box was opened, Yamamoto Kansuke's eyes suddenly straightened. Inside was a white cloth bag tied to the bulging ends, shaped like a pig's leg and a strand of black hair. Yamamoto Kansuke's hand trembled and untied the rope at one end, and a few beans fell out.
