Gugawa Castle is the residence of a wealthy family on the northern coast of Ano County in Sanki Province, and the territory of the Gugawa family is not large, and it has only been a few hundred stones for hundreds of years, so it can be said that there is a tradition of being a small wealthy family in history.

However, it is very fortunate for this small wealthy family that because their territory is facing Kojima, so in recent years, they have relied on the Kuroda family to do some simple transactions of aquatic products and local products, sell some information about Sanki Country to the Kuroda family, and even go to sea to be a water thief themselves. The life of this small wealthy family is relatively nourishing. Yes, you read that right, it's the Kuroda family's Nojima Water Army. Don't look at the fact that this should be the chassis of the Ataka family's navy, but in private, the Kuroda family's navy has basically controlled the entire sea area in this area.

On this day, the head of the family, Yasuo Bonegawa, was discussing with his two brothers, Keno Bone Kawa and Yoshio Bone River, how the Bone River family could increase the amount of seafood and local products sold, when suddenly a subordinate came to tell him.

"Lord, the big thing is not good, there is an army of hundreds of people, coming towards my Guchuan City, it looks like it is coming to attack my family."

"What? The army that attacked his own family, which family did not have a long eye? Don't say hundreds, how many people came? Keio Karukawa immediately stood up and shouted.

"I've seen their banners, but I'm not sure, it seems to be the Kuroda family's military strength."

"The military strength of the Kuroda family, how is this possible?" Yoshio Furukawa said in surprise.

"Their flag is a rattan pattern."

"Fujiba Wen, that may really be the Kuroda family, how many people are there?" Yasuo Furukawa asked.

"There were five or six hundred of them."

"Five or six hundred Kuroda family's military strength, then this is really not easy to do. If you think about it, the Kuroda family's navy is so powerful, I heard that the Kuroda family's army, even the Maori Yuan Gong can be defeated several times (counting the defeats of Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa), where is the opponent of the family! Yoshio Bone River said at this time.

"This ...... Our family can gather less than 200 people at most, even if it is Cage City, we are definitely not their opponents! Keno Bonekawa, the militant among the three brothers, who had the strongest reaction just now, all sat down at this time and expressed his admittance to the arrival of the Kuroda family's army.

"Brother, since this is the case, this family is not the opponent of the Kuroda family at all, so what should we do?" Yoshio Bone Kawa asked anxiously to Yasuo Bone Kawa.

"For the arrival of the Kuroda family, I actually think it's very simple, it's good to just open the city and submit. Since the family is not the opponent of the Kuroda family, and the family has always needed to rely on the Kuroda family to make a living, it is better to surrender the Kuroda family. Yasuo Furukawa said with a calm smile, as if it wasn't a big deal.

"What, brother-in-law, submit to the Kuroda family?"

"You heard it right, it's just the direct submission of the Kuroda family, Jiro, and Saburo, in fact, there is nothing to submit. The most important thing for us now is to find out what the Kuroda family wants to do when they come to Sanuki Province this time. If only the Kuroda family had only come to Sanuki Province for a short time, and when they withdrew to the other side, it would have been a big deal for us to stay and continue to live our own lives in Sanuki Province. Of course, if the Kuroda family has good conditions and can accept us, it would be good for us to go to Harima Province with us. If the Kuroda family decides to conquer Shikoku as their own territory, then they will sincerely join the Kuroda family. Anyway, joining the Kuroda family now doesn't hurt us no matter what. Yasuo Karukawa said with a smile.

"It's still my brother!" Yoshio Bone River said.

When Motoyama Shigeru's army came to the castle of Guchuan, the gate of Guchuan Castle was wide open, and the three brothers of Yasuo Gukawa stood respectfully at the gate.

"Yasuo Shimokugawa is the head of the Gugawa family, and my Gugawa family is willing to submit to the Kuroda family, dare to ask what this adult is called?" Yasuo Furukawa asked.

"Shigeki Motoyama, the head general of the Kuroda family, is here as the forward of the Kuroda family, hoping to find a place to rest for the army that comes later."

"It turned out to be Motoyama-sama, and I seem to have heard about it when I heard the name of the adult, and I don't know the ...... of Motoyama-sama-sama and my lord," asked Yasuo Furukawa.

"It's the father who is below."

"It turned out to be the heir of Lord Motoyama Somo of the famous town of Shikoku, and it was rude to him." The three brothers of Guchuan bowed to Motoyama Maochen.

"You don't need to be polite, the past is over, since you are willing to surrender to my Kuroda family, I don't know how many people and horses Guchuan City can accommodate?" Motoyama asked.

"This ...... My Guchuan City is just a small city, which can accommodate a maximum of 1,000 people. Yasuo Bone River said.

"Is there a bigger city nearby? The army that came to attack Sanuki Province this time was 7,000 people. Motoyama said.

"What, there are seven thousand people...... "Keno Bone Kawa said in surprise.

"The cities of the nearby Kamo, Hakuyama, Hayama and other families have all been captured, and it is estimated that they will not be able to accommodate the seven thousand soldiers of the Kuroda family!" Yasuo Furukawa said.

"The Katsuga City of the Xiangxi family is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people, but the Xiangxi family is enough to mobilize more than seven hundred people, even if we are added, it is estimated that it will not be enough to take the Xiangxi family!" Yoshio Bone River said.

"It's okay, I'm just a striker, so I'll take one or two small cities first, and Katsuga City will wait for the lord to arrive." Motoyama said with a smile.

"In that case, I'm willing to say that the Kuroda family will descend to Kamo, Hakuyama, and Hayama." Yasuo Furukawa said.

"Is what Lord Bone Kawa said true?" Motoyama asked.

"Hey! My brothers and I have made friends with Kamo and Hakuyama, and we are willing to go and persuade them. Yasuo Bone River said.

Sure enough, the next day, Miyata Mitsuji, Sakabuchi Nagadori, and Funatsui Tsuji, led by Ashigaru, who was left by Motoyama Shigeta, came to Bone River Castle, and at the same time, Kamo and Hakuyama did come with a surrender table and hostages to express their submission to the Kuroda family, as Bone Kawa Yasuo said.

Within a few days of that, Kuroda took Masayuki Sanada, Yoshitane Harada, Hiratsuka Yuhiro, Yamamoto Takasuma, Wang Erzhu, Date Masahiro, Suzuki Shigenari, Wakaya Susumitsu, Hongo Kamitoyo, Aoki Kazuki, Sugihara Iesada, Mizuri Junsei, Shimizu Soharu, Makikuninobu, Makakiharu, Makishoharu, Makiyama Nobu, Sugiyama Noshi, Sugiyama Naga, Nakamura Yorimune, and Numamoto Boya. Miyamoto Takeno and others and more than 5,000 soldiers all came to Guchuan Castle.

After really seeing the thousands of heroes of the Kuroda family, whether it was Guchuan, Kamo, or Hakuyama, they were very glad that they had surrendered to the Kuroda family. (To be continued.) )
