Kuroda Kanbei's strategy was very effective, and without outside assistance, the two sides decided in late December of the same year. Joi Zhenfang accepted the conditions of the monkey's territory, accepted the Toyotomi family's request for submission, and gave his thirteen-year-old daughter Atsuru as a hostage to the monkey, and the monkey got his wish and the daughter of the Utsunomiya family, and let out a bad breath.

Kuroda Kanbei wanted to carry out a policy of tenderness towards the Joi clan and take it for his own use, but at this time, Kuroda Nagamasa had already received the task of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he must get rid of all the Joi clan in order to completely solve the possible threat to their family in the future.

On April 20, 1588, Kuroda Nagamasa recruited Joi Zhenfang into Nakatsu Castle, the Kuroda family's residence in Toyozen Province at that time.

After the castle town house was recruited into Nakatsu Castle, on top of the banquet prepared for him by Kuroda Nagamasa, the unarmed city town was murdered on the spot, and more than a dozen people surnamed Matsuda Koyoshi who entered the city with the city with the city at that time were all beheaded in the courtyard of Honmaru.

Joi Zhenfang's father, Joi Naga, was killed by the Kuroda family samurai when the Kuroda family army led by Kuroda Nagamasa attacked Joi Valley Castle.

On April 22, Tsuru, the daughter of Joi Jinbo, along with her thirteen maids-in-waiting, was killed by Kuroda Nagamasa and his men in Hirotsu Chibon Matsukawahara on the banks of the Yamakuni River. Murder is a form of torture, a cruel criminal law in which a person is killed by mutilating their limbs.

When these news reached Heyuan Temple, the military situation of the Kuroda family was about to pacify the people of Higo Province, although Kuroda Kanbei said that he admired the ability of the castle house very much, and also hoped that the castle family could be used for himself, but now that the family of the family has been killed by their own bear children, what can they do?

Because the martial arts of the castle house are too high, the Kuroda family is invincible, so Kuroda Takataka can only pretend to summon the castle room to discuss the matter, and kill it, a generation of fierce generals died in a daze, and the people of the castle family who were with him were also killed by the Kuroda family in the formation of Heyuan Temple.

Perhaps it was because God had eyes, but Ryūko, the pregnant wife of Joi Asah, escaped in the Kuroda family's extermination of the Joi family, and gave birth to the only surviving son of the Joi family, Uto Asamae, and the grandson of the Joi Asaga, Uto Nobutaka (Takabo), was later recruited by the Echizen Matsudaira family to become a samurai in their family, and the blood of the Joi clan was thus preserved.

This is the process of the rise and fall of the Joi family that started from the castle house, we can see that the Kuroda Kanbei actually wants the Joi family to work for him, and all of this is bad in the hands of Kuroda Nagamasa, as for why Toyotomi Hideyoshi instructed Kuroda Nagamasa to exterminate the Joi family, his idea is really hard to say, it is to prevent the Kuroda family from becoming bigger, or just hate the Kuroda town and look down on himself, maybe the former is more.

You must know that Kuroda Kanbei was the leading wise man at that time, so he was deeply guarded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and even said that after I die, it will be Kuroda Kanwei who will win the world. The castle is the world's leading general, two people with one article and one martial arts, one piece and one relaxation, if the Kuroda Kanbei can completely integrate the castle family, the development of the Kuroda family after that is indeed immeasurable by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Let's get down to business here, after Nozhong Town said about the death of Otake Yabei, the castle town house didn't react, but just turned around and said indifferently to Nozhong Town: "Otake Yabei, don't respect the leader, if you die, you will die!" Our Bunzen country is not bad for such a character, as for his soldiers, control it first, and definitely not let them run, and then the army of the Kuroda family is 30,000 people, and our side is currently at an absolute disadvantage, and one more person is good. ”

"Hey! I understand it below. ”

"How many people are there in the Kuroda family?"

"After investigation, there are only 1,000 people, but they are all elite people of the Kuroda family, and they are all very well-equipped, so they should only be the vanguard of the Kuroda family."

"It's just the vanguard of the Kuroda family, isn't it?"

"Hey!"

"The person who can kill the Otake Yabei should already be a very good samurai, after all, the Otake Yabei still has a little strength. Now it seems interesting, how should we deal with these pioneers of the Kuroda family? Chengjing Zhenfang suddenly turned his head to Nozhong Zhenkan and asked.

"My lord, please forgive me for being stupid, the idea below is to simply defeat this group of people directly." Nonaka said cautiously.

"Defeat them! Where have they been? ”

"The Kuroda family striker has now entered the Joi Valley path, what should I do after I wait? Should you go straight to it? Nonaka asked.

"Nozhong, don't panic for the time being, since this team is only a team of the Kuroda family to explore the way, and the number of people is really small, it really can't pose any threat to us, what you said is very good, let's just defeat them directly, and it is indeed not a good way to let them continue to advance." Chengjing Zhenfang touched the mustache on the side of his mouth.

"The lord doesn't know that the leader of this team is Kuroda Ritaka, the younger brother of Kuroda Ritaka, the governor of the Kuroda family, and his colleagues are also with Kuroda Rishinori, the third brother of Kuroda Rikanori, the most valued young samurai of the Kuroda family, and Kuriyama Riyasu, the favorite general of Kuroda Hikaraka." Nonaka Zhenkan said, the island that killed Otake Yabei, and the Kuroda family's fierce general Aoki Ichishige were directly ignored by **naked.

"Oh! Are the two direct members of the Kuroda family? Joi's eyes suddenly lit up, and in his eyes, Kuriyama Riyan was also ignored, only Kuroda Ritaka and Kuroda Toshinori were the only two, if they could be captured alive, it would be the best result.

"Hey!"

"That Tojijianren-sama ...... them"

"I think we're almost to the west." Nochu replied.

"Okay, let's all go down and prepare!"

"Hey!"

It didn't take long for Kuroda to come to the meeting with the follow-up 800 people, and after Shima Taka explained the reason, Kuroda felt that he was doing the right thing, so he didn't say anything.

At the same time, the Kuroda family's army was divided into three, and the Kuroda family's army of 15,000 people followed the direction behind Kuroda's army and came straight to the castle valley.
