Chapter 827
Just when Maorimoto learned that an unknown naval army was approaching quickly (it was likely the Luo family naval army), because the ship was limited, he had to decisively cut off his arm. Not only did he abandon a large number of Itsujima, Anyiguo, some powerful military forces in China and the country, but he even abandoned his third son Kobayakawa Takake, and then quickly took a boat to evacuate Itsujima overnight.
Just as Mori Moon was cutting off his arm's arms in Anyikuo's Itsukishima, in the Shimazu Family Council in the distant Mian Kyushu Satsuma Country, the Shimazu Family Governor and several important officials in his family were listening to the detailed report from his home who had just returned from Tsushima Island.
The Shimazu family was extremely concerned about the every move of the Luo family. Especially when its power had expanded to the Mitsukishu side, it can be said that the every move of the Luo family was likely to affect the Shimazu family's own development strategy. As the Luo family had been continuously exerting to the southeastern region of Fenghou Kingdom and Tsushima Island, Shimazu Kiku sent his family's detectives to closely monitor the actions of the Luo family. So when the huge navy of the Luo family was about to enter Tsushima Island, it suddenly turned around and Shimazu family Hidden on Tsushima Island immediately drove a boat to Satsuma Country to report the news.
"What a trick to hide the truth. I can use my family's resources to concentrate my troops on Iki Island, which is far away from Itsushima. After a little battle with Tsushima, I went straight to his real purpose." Resident Tadaro Ijiyuan sighed.
"Itsuki?" Shimazu Takahisa's father, Shimazu Tadaroki, was puzzled.
"Master, can you not see it yet? At this time, the Ouchi family and the Mori family were confronting near Itsujima on the coast of Anyiguo. Judging from the information obtained a few days ago, the two companies will probably start a war during this period. Although I don't know which one the Luo family united with in this Yidao battle. But the Luo family's goal this time will definitely be there." Tadaro Yijiyuan affirmed decisively.
"Well. Not bad, this is in line with the usual offensive style of the Hatsumaki Eagle." Ishimazu Takahara also agreed.
"The Luo family shouldn't take advantage of the loss of both the Ouchi family and the Maori family to annex the two families directly?" At this time, the legitimate son Shimazu Yoshihisa, who had not spoken, suddenly said.
As soon as Shimazu Yoshihiro said this, everyone in the meeting hall immediately calmed down. After a while, Tadaro Yoshishi Shimazu took the lead and said: "If the Luo family took advantage of this opportunity to invade the Xiguo area of the state, then the Zhou Fangguo, Nagato, and even An Yiguo of the Western Kingdom are likely to fall into the hands of the Luo family one by one!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded with consent. At the same time, their faces became more and more serious. Having such a stronger neighbor is definitely not a good thing for the Shimazu family. Once the Luo family frees up their hands, it is estimated that all the powerful men in Mikuzu, including the Shimazu family, will suffer.
"However, if the Luo family really attacked Yidao this time, it would not be a completely bad thing for our family!" The old man named Zhongyao said.
"Where are you talking about this?" Shimazu Takahisa asked immediately.
"Lord, even if the Luo family intends to enter the Western Country, the Tao family and the Maori family, which have been operating for several generations in the local area, are not easy to deal with. According to the ministers, even if the Luo family has gained a lot of benefits this time, the Da Nei family, Tao family and Maori family will not be defeated by the Luo family so quickly. At that time, the most likely situation is that the Luo family is trapped in the quagmire of entanglement with these families, and then the opportunity for our family will come." Xinna Zhongyao analyzed.
"Well! This statement makes sense!" Tadaro Shimazu immediately agreed after hearing this.
"No. Lord Zhongyao's analysis is very reasonable, but the ministers think that our family should not wait for the news from the Western Kingdom to make plans, but should attack immediately and implement the strategy that our family has been planning to implement last year. This time, even if the Luo family learned about our family's actions, they would be powerless." Zhonglang Yijiyuan suggested.
"Does it carry out an attack on Kitasatsu?" Shimazu Takaratsu said this by Tadaro Ijiyuan, and Shimazu Takahisatsu also said to himself. Last year, the Shimazu family was indeed secretly preparing to take advantage of the fierce battle between the Luo family and the Outomo family in Kitakyushu and the remaining forces of the Otomo family. However, just as they were about to attack, it was reported that the Luo family had completely taken Kitakyushu and received rewards from the court shogunate. After discussion, the Shimazu family finally stopped this strategy plan.
"My lord, can't wait. I have missed several opportunities. Seeing that the Luo family's power is getting bigger and bigger, the Kyushu area has no powerful reputation that can compete with it independently. If I don't take the opportunity to grow, I'm afraid it will be annexed sooner or later. Now the Luo family will definitely be trapped in the quagmire of the Western Kingdom, and the family has just secretly formed an alliance with the Ito family, the Sahiro family and even the Maori family. This is the opportunity for the family to take the opportunity to develop." Seeing that Takahisa Shimazu was hesitant to decide, Tadaro Ijiyuan persuaded again.
The Shimazu family missed several opportunities mentioned by Tadaro Ijiyuan, but instantly hurt Shimazu Takaku's heart. Since he inherited the family governor, with the help of his father Tadaro Shimazu and his family's retainers, the Shimazu family has indeed grown stronger in Mian Kyushu. Shimazu Takaku was also increasingly supported by everyone in the family. However, Shimazu Takaku's decision-making mistakes with the Luo family were the only place that dissatisfied the family. If Shimazu Takaku was not too cautious at the time and participated in the encirclement of the Luo family by the Oui family and the Outo family several times, the Outo family might not have declined so quickly, and the Luo family would not have dominated the family in Sikkaido (i.e., Kyushu). Even now, whenever I think of this, Shimazu Takaku would feel regretful.
"Yes, lord, no matter where the Luo family suddenly changed lanes this time, they could no longer wait. This time it was indeed a good opportunity for our family to attack!" Xin Na Zhongyao also echoed at this time.
"Indeed, this time, I can't wait and see anymore. Moreover, I have reached a joint decision with the leader of the king. I believe that after learning that the leader of the king, the Luo family will also have some concerns." His father Shimazu Tadaroya also said. Since the old lord agreed, other Shimazu family officials in the meeting hall immediately agreed.
"Since that's the case, then I will attack immediately." Seeing that everyone in the family agreed to go out of the battle with Kitasatsu, Shimazu Takaha gritted his teeth and agreed to everyone's request.
