The Fukuhara clan has always been loyal to the Maori family, and the Fukuhara clan of Azuki is from the surname Oe, and the ancestor of the Fukuhara clan, Oe, Hiromoto, was a courtier at the end of the Heian period and the beginning of the Kamakura period. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Hiromoto's fourth son, Mori Jimitsu, inherited the Mori Village in Aika-gun, Sagami Province from his father, and used Mori as the Miao character. His grandson, Mori, came to Yoshidaso, Yoshida-gun, Azuki Province to develop, and was the ancestor of the later Mori family.

The daughter of Hirotoshi Fukuhara, the head of the eighth generation, married Hiromoto Mori as the main room, and gave birth to Mori Komoto and Mori Moto. Hirotoshi Yashiro also contributed a lot in the process of inheriting the Mori family, which made the Fukuhara family's influence in the Mori family great.

The current governor Fukuhara Sadatoshi, starting from the Motofu, has been transferred to various places with the Mori Moto, and in the 19th year of Astronomy (1550 AD), because of the exploits of previous battles and his honest character, he was promoted to the head of the Mori clan.

In the previous wars of the Mori family, whether it was the Itsukushima Battle during the Hongji period, the perimeter strategy of the Ouchi clan's domain, the rebellion of Nagato and Yamajo Naito Takayo and Ouchi Yoshinaga.

After the death of Mori Motoshi in history, Fukuhara Sadatoshi, together with Yoshikawa Motoharu, Kobayakawa Takakei, and Kuchiwa Tsura, formed the power system of the four members of the Mori family, and served as the assistant of Mori Terumoto, so they are also known as the "Mori Family Four".

The Fukuhara family has served the Maori family for generations, and there is no problem with loyalty, and there are nearly 600 people under their command, if it is just to delay time, finding a place with dangerous terrain is enough to cause a lot of trouble for the Kuroda family, even if it is Kuroda vocational high school.

Another person who took the initiative to stand up was Iwami Province's wealthy clan Izuwa Motosuke.

Dewa Motosuke said: "I am also willing to stay and be loyal to the Maori family." ”

Dewa Motosuke is also an important minister of the Maori family, the lord of Yamajo Castle in Chigun, Iwami Province, and a powerful local wealthy family.

Historically, Dewa Motosuke adopted six sons from Maori Motosuke as adopted sons, named Dewa Motoju and inherited the name of the Dewa family.

Dewa Motosuke was in the thirteenth year of the Astronomical Universe (February 16, 1544 AD) Yuanfu, and when he was in Yuanfu, as his black hat pro, it was the eldest male of Mori Motoshi, Mori Takamoto.

After his father died in battle for the Mori family, in the eighteenth year of Astronomi (1549 AD), with the approval of Yoshitaka Ouchi, Dewa Motosuke became the governor of the Dewa clan.

In the fifth year of Eiroku (1562), the Dewa clan, as one of the wealthy clans of the Mori clan in Iwami, had contact with the hostile Honjo Tsuneko, which made the Mori Motomo suspicious of the Dewa clan. It wasn't until Tsunemitsu of the castle turned to the Maori family that he wanted to get a chance to be forgiven by the Maori family. After all, his family is all in the mountain castle of Yoshida County, and there is the only sister-in-law he finally gave birth to in middle age.

Mao Liyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the two people who came out, Fukuhara Sadatoshi was a retainer he could definitely trust, and he was also a very capable retainer, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the head of the retainers.

Dewa Motosuke didn't seem so credible because of his previous contact with Honjomitsu, but Fukuhara Sadatoshi would never use it to break off, after all, he was a heavy minister he relied on very much, and he definitely couldn't fold here.

Mao Li Yuan finally said helplessly: "Since this is the case, I will hand over the task of the broken end to Lord Dewa Yuansuke, your army is only four hundred, and I will give you another hundred elites, making up the number of five hundred." You only need to go two miles after that, and there is a small valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so you can face Kuroda Vocational High School there! ”

"Thank you for your trust, please rest assured that you can hand over the task to the next one, and you will definitely die for the Maori family." Dewa Motosuke said loudly.

"Very good, naturally so, it's decided at this time, everyone go down and prepare!" Maori Yuan said.

"Hey!"

"Young Lord, I just got the news that the Maori family is ready to retreat from Fukuyama City." Riyan Kuriyama came to say.

"Ansuke, how do you say Maori Yuan will retreat." Kuroda asked as he sat on the marching horse and smiled at Riyan Kuriyama.

Ansuke knew that this was probably Kuroda Vocational High School's examination for himself, so he immediately thought about it, and after getting the answer, he organized his own language before he slowly spoke.

"Lord Young Lord, this time the family of nearly 30,000 people surrounded the Maori family, it was because of the intention to calculate or not, the Maori family thought that the family would be delayed for a long time in Shikoku, and then dared to send troops to the family, which is the same as the Honganji Temple they sent troops. It can be said that the Maori family thought that the young master should still be in Shikoku, so they were absolutely unprepared for the sudden appearance of the family. ”

"Hmmm! That's right, you go ahead. Kuroda nodded.

"When the Maori family attacked their own family Fukuyama Castle before, they didn't know that we would appear in their rear, and now they are retreating backwards, because after the young master released the news, the Maori family knew that there was our army in the rear, which had seriously threatened their survival.

The young lord now chooses to set up a formation in the logs, cities and villages, on the surface, has cut off the back road of the Maori family, if they don't retreat before the encirclement of the main army of the Maori family now, they will inevitably be cut off by the family of all the back roads, and fall into a place of no return, this is the place where the Maori family is most worried. Riyan Kuriyama said.

"That's true, but do you think the Maori family still has a chance to escape and go back to An Yun now?" Kuroda nodded his head and continued to ask.

"Young Master, in fact, you have been teaching us to look at the problem holistically, but we must not ignore any details. I had checked the nearby march map before, and found that there were still several places that could actually be passed before the Maori family came to the logs, cities and villages, which was enough to ensure that the Maori family could return to the country of Azumi quickly.

As for how the Maori family chooses in the end, it depends on the choice of the Maori Yuan. But I think the young lord must have been in other places, ready to welcome the Maori family in advance, otherwise he would not have stayed here with a large army, but would have already gone to besiege the Maori family. Riyan Kuriyama told all his guesses.

"Ansuke, you said it very well, as for my arrangement, you will know this soon, we will leave tomorrow to besiege the Maori family. By the way, apart from the fact that the Maori family has begun to retreat, is there any other news? Kuroda asked.
