Therefore, the Kuroda family learned of all the plans of Urakami Sokei, and immediately summoned Kodera Ichitaka of Goshojo Castle, Takahisa Himeji Kotera, Murotsui Tetomo, Takino Matsui Shigetaka, Joyama Jomosato Kobei and others to discuss countermeasures, and then the Kuroda family began to operate and made every effort to prepare for the subsequent battle.

The Eiga Miki family mentioned in the middle of the information will participate in the operation of Urakami Sokei, which makes the Kuroda family very surprised, the Kuroda family and the Miki family have maintained harmony for more than ten years, but they didn't expect to fall to Urakami Sokei's side.

Unexpectedly, only one day later, Miki Tsuaki personally went to Kuroda Castle, and took Sakabuchi Nagadori and Funatsui Tsuji to meet Kuroda Jobaka.

"Kuroda-sama, long time no see." Miki Tongming respectfully bowed to Kuroda Zhitaka, and the two sons behind him also followed to meet Kuroda Zhilong.

"Yes! It's been three years! I haven't seen it since I helped solve the embankment project in your territory last time. Kuroda said with a smile and returned the salute to Miki.

"Lord Kuroda, the Miki family has been taken care of by the Kuroda family a lot over the years, and everyone in the next family is grateful to the Kuroda family. I'll be blunt, the old man came this time to represent the Miki family, to submit the surrender table to the Kuroda family, and in the future, the Eiga Miki family will become a vassal of the Kuroda family, and I hope that Lord Kuroda Shigetaka will agree. After saying that, Miki and his two sons once again bowed to the ground.

"Oh! As you said, the Kuroda family and the Miki family have always been in harmony, so how could Miki-sama have such an idea? Kuroda said in surprise.

"Don't hide it from your lordship, today the envoy of the Minister of Bizen Kunipu Kamimunejing came to my house and proposed to me to divide the land of the Kuroda family together, but the family has been friends with the Kuroda family for many years, and we must not fall into the well at this time. And after thinking about it again, the Kuroda family is so strong at present, there is already a rise of the image, and the Miki family can only ensure the continuation of the family name by following the Kuroda family! Therefore, I implore the Kuroda family to accept the allegiance of the Miki family. Miki said loudly.

Kuroda stood up, strode up to Miki Tsumei, sat down cross-legged, grabbed Miki's shoulders with both hands, and said loudly: "In this case, the Miki family has been merged into the family as the elder of the family, and the family will definitely remember the friendship with the Miki family, and the war is imminent, I hope the Miki family will lend a hand, and I will ask Miki Lord more in the future." ”

"That's right, the three hundred people in my Miki family's territory are ready to fight for the Kuroda family at any time." Miki looked at Kuroda and said firmly.

"Then please, Miki-sama." Kuroda said as he nodded a few times.

"And Kuroda-sama, you have also seen them, they are my fourth and fifth sons, Sakabuchi Nagatsu, Funatsui Tongji, this time I hope that the Kuroda family can accept two people as retainers, and I will be at ease in the next." Miki Tongming pointed to the two sons behind him and said, to put it bluntly, he was sent as a hostage.

"Nasaka Yu Nagado, Funatsu Jing Tongji is temporarily the flag of the family, and the annual service is fifty stones, which is good." Kuroda thought about it and said.

"I can't thank you enough." Miki Tongming thanked him.

After the surrender of the Miki family, the Kuroda family had one less enemy and more strength.

As a result, another incident turned the Kuroda siege into a unilateral action by the Urakami family, all right! Akamatsu Yoshisuke has long been ignored by the Urakami family, and even the Miki family has a higher status than the Shio Akamatsu family in the minds of Urakami Sokei.

The Bessho family did not receive a letter from the Urakami family, but the Bessho family still received a plan to attack the Kuroda family, and it was the excited Akamatsu Yoshisuke who wrote a letter, according to Urakami Sokei's plan, inviting the Bessho family to attack the Kuroda family together, and taking the initiative to make the decision, promising that the Bessho family would get all the territories of the Kotera family at that time.

As the banner leader of the Higashi-Harima Kingdom, he has been running the territory of the Higashi-Harima Country, and he rarely attacks other houses, but this time there is a handwritten letter from Yoshisuke Akamatsu, the guardian of Harima Country, that is, he has a righteous name, and attacking the Kuroda family is just a matter of taking advantage of the situation, and the peace of the other house is moved.

Immediately, Bessho Anji gathered all the ministers of his family, as well as the lords of the various branches of the territory, the nobles, the countrymen, and the samurai of the land, to discuss the attack on the Kuroda family.

Some of the people of the small wealthy clan were very excited, and only through war could they hope to gain a small amount of land through their military exploits, so as to strengthen their strength. However, some of the slightly stronger city lords had different opinions, and they loudly demanded that they should immediately assemble to attack the Kuroda family, and some who were more willing to think about it thought that they should think about it in the long run, and the Kuroda family could defeat Akamatsu Masahide at 10,000 koku, but now there are 70,000 koku, so can it be provoked casually? Moreover, Urakami Sokei's credit is really not good, and when the time comes, it is really difficult to say how much land the other family can get.

All of a sudden, the retainers were divided into two factions, and there was a lot of noise in the hall, but Besho Anji was not frightened by this scene, everyone has their own considerations, and it is normal for these dozens of people to disagree. The question bessho is thinking about what Bessho family can do to get the most benefit. No troops, no troops, how many troops, and when to send troops, all of these are particular, and it is impossible to make a decision immediately.

Just when everyone was arguing endlessly, and Besho Anzhi was thinking seriously. A small surname sent a piece of information. Bessho Anji opened the paper indifferently, and after looking at it twice, his brows were furrowed, and his face did not look very good.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just got the news of the fine work, Miyoshi Changqing has given an order, send his own Miyoshi Shixiu, Miyoshi Changyi led 10,000 troops to prepare to attack my Harima country, and this family will bear the brunt of the attack, and everyone listens to the order." Bessho Yasuji slapped the note on the ground.

"Hey"

"All of you will return to your home immediately, and prepare to start assembling troops to deal with the invasion of the Miyoshi army, and forget the matter of the Kuroda family! Good luck for you. Bessho Anzhi said coldly.

"Hey"

Urakami Sokei soon got the news that Yoshisuke Akamatsu had expressed his full support for the family, the Miki family of Eigajo had already expressed their submission to the Kuroda family, and the Bessho family was about to be attacked by the Miyoshi family, so they had to fight against the attack of the Miyoshi family with all their might

It is impossible to act with your own family.

Except for Akamatsu Yoshisuke's cooperation, which is good news, the others are all bad news, and Urakami Sokage has long known that after Akamatsu Yoshisuke sneaked up on the Kuroda family, and was defeated, he can only send 400 troops now, thinking that Matsu Yoshiyu's 800 people can't beat the Kuroda family's Tohi Yahachi, and now 400 people don't have to be counted on. These 400 people also include peasants and soldiers who have little combat effectiveness, and for Urakami Sokei, Akamatsu Yoshiyu's support is simply dispensable and of little significance. And later I got the news that Yoshisuke Akamatsu called on the people of Harima to attack the Kuroda family, but no one of the wealthy people responded to the call.

As for the actions of the other two families, it completely broke his arrangement, originally hoping to form a Kuroda encirclement network, and through attacks from several directions, the Kuroda family could not take care of each other, but now they can only attack hard. Since this is the case, then it is better to attack by yourself, and I don't believe that I can't defeat the Kuroda family, who can only mobilize 2,000 people, with more than 10,000 people.
