Toji Michiyuki gathered the news that the troops of Chikugo, Higo and other places had crossed the Chikugo River and stepped into Hizen Province, and at one time it was passed on to the hands of Ryuzoji Takanobu and Shaoji Dongsao, and the reactions of the two were different, one was shocked and the other was excited.

At this moment, Shoji Dongshang was meeting with Ono Jinyuki, the secret envoy of Toji Michiyuki, in the precarious Sefukuji Castle, while Ryuzoji Takanobu was listening to the report of the Chikugo Uraike family's secret envoy Metoshi Harano in the main camp of Sefukuji Temple, not far from Sefukuji Castle.

The news brought by Ono Zhenyuki made Shao Erdongshang happy and ashamed.

Joyfully, Otomo Yoshijin did not give up on him, and sent the famous Kyushu general Toji Michiyuki to lead the army of Chikugo, Higo and other places to come to the rescue, and he will arrive in Hizen Province in the near future. What is ashamed is that he was already ready to open the city and surrender treacherously.

Now that Otomo Yoshijin had sent reinforcements, Shoji Dongshang put down his treacherous intentions, and he regained his strength, and the originally precarious and demoralized Sefukuji Castle was rejuvenated by the news of the imminent arrival of reinforcements.

One positive and one negative, Shao Er Dongshang and Shifu Temple City regained their strength and strengthened their determination to fight in the cage city. Longzao Temple Longxin hates Shao Erdongshang, and Shao Erdongshang does not believe in Longzao Temple Longxin, otherwise Shao Erdongshang will not hesitate and can't let go of his body.

The news that Metoshi Harano came on behalf of him was too shocking, and nine times out of ten it was true.

Because although Kamachi Kanmori is a retainer of Otomo, he is very kind to the Hizen Ryuzoji family. The Ryuzoji family and the young two winter Shangquan ministers Baba Lai Zhou fled to Puchi Castle for refuge, and with the help of Kamachi Jiansheng and Nabeshima Kiyobo, he eliminated Baba Lai Zhou. When Ryuzoji Takanobu was besieged by Tsuchihashi Eiyi's rebellion, he also retreated to the Kamachi family to take refuge, and also relied on the help of Kamachi Kanmori and Nabeshima Naoshige to recapture the castle and revitalize the family business.

However, in history, under the great kindness of the Puchi family, in the end, Ryuzoji Takashi Shin took revenge and killed the Puchi family, which was considered to be the inevitable decline of the family business. In the end, Naoshige Nabeshima, who had forgotten his friendship with Kamaike Supervisor Sheng, had the last laugh.

Now, Kamachi Kanmori apparently wouldn't know that Ryuzoji Takanobu would slaughter his family after his death. Now close relationship, after learning of the arrival of Toji Michiyuki, he secretly sent his retainer Harano Keizumi to report to Ryuzoji Takanobu and issued a solemn warning to Ryuzoji Takanobu.

Ryuzoji Takanobu knew that the news brought by Puchi Jiansheng was true. Because the scouts he sent to Chikugo Province also reported the abnormal actions of Chikugo Province's grass and trees in due time, and he was still at a loss for these actions, but now everything is clear. The most likely reason is that reinforcements from Otomo Yoshijin arrived, and Chikugo Kunitsu was asked to send troops and food from the Kunito clan of the Otomo family, and now it is clear that the general general of the Otomo family is the famous general Toji Michiyuki, and the number of troops is as high as 25,000 to 30,000.

Ryuzoji Takanobu was the leader in Hizen Province, known as the "Bear of Hizen", and in Hizen there were Matsuura, Omura, Arima, Shaoji and other families who did not obey his rule, so that his total mobilization force was only eight or nine thousand people. Originally, I thought that Ouchi Yoshicho would send troops, take advantage of the fire to rob, defeat Shaoer Dongshang, and complete the unification of Dongfei. Who would have thought that just as he was about to see the dawn of victory, Otomo Yoshijin ignored the crisis of Bungo Province and sent the famous general Toji Michiyuki and gathered tens of thousands of people to crusade against him.

Ryuzoji Takanobu was in a dilemma, and he looked at his righteous brother Naoshige Nabeshima, who was sitting with his eyes closed and pondering.

Speaking of righteous brothers, I have to say more here, after all, in the Warring States Period, where the identity system was strict, it was rare to renew the retainers with the respect of the lord and widow.

At the time of the alternation of the Ryuzoji family and Takashin, it can be said that there have been several ups and downs, among which the role of Nabeshima Kiyofang and Naoshige father and son is undoubted. Nabeshima Naoshige's mother is the uncle of Ryuzoji Takanobu, in fact, Nabeshima Naoshige and Ryuzoji Takanobu are cousins.

After the death of Nabeshima's mother, the mother of Ryuzoji Takanobu, who had been widowed for many years, suddenly announced that she would marry the handsome old man Nabeshima Kiyobo. Therefore, Naoshige Nabeshima and Ryuzoji Takanbu nominally became brothers by blood.

The story between the mother of Takanobu who still exists and the Nabeshima Kiyoya who is in the prime of life is not listed here, but if you are interested, you can imagine it. Anyway, Nabeshima Naoshige has been loyal to him since then, during his lifetime at Ryuzoji Temple.

Nakashima Naoshige opened his eyes, leaned over to look at the map, and did not speak.

Ryuzoji Takanobu expressed his gratitude to Harano Keizon, Harano Keizumi bowed and retreated, and only Ryuzoji Takanobu was left in the tent, staff officer Naoshige Nabeshima, one gate Ryuzoji Nobushu, and the Four Heavenly Kings Narimatsu Nobukatsu, Kinoshita Masanao, Hyakumi Kenkan, and Eriguchi Nobutsune.

Before Naoshima Naoshige didn't speak, even Nobushu, the younger brother of Ryuzoji Takanobu, didn't dare to speak, not to mention the so-called Four Heavenly Kings, which shows how Nabeshima Naoshige's status in the Ryuzoji family is respected, and everyone looks at Nabeshima.

Naoshige Nabeshima pointed to a place on the map and drew a circle, then looked up and said, "Immediately abandon Sefukuji Castle and withdraw to Nakamura Castle." ”

Ryuzoji Takanobu heard Naoshige's words of Nabeshima, and felt a little unbelievable, and fled back to Nakamura Castle in fear before he met Toji Michiyuki, which was obviously not in line with his character, but he still didn't get angry and asked, "Reason!" ”

All the ministers did not dare to speak, they knew that the more concise the Ryuzoji Takanobu was, the greater the anger.

Nabeshima Naoshige glanced up at Ryuzoji Takanobu and explained: "Otomo Yoshijin sent Toji Michiyuki, the head of the three elders, to come, and at the same time gathered twenty or thirty thousand people, and the battle was a strategy of quick victory with all his strength. ”

After a pause, Nabeshima Naoshige continued: "Otomo Yoshijin wants a quick victory, why should we follow his rhythm, our strategy is to slow down and drag down, and wait for Otomo Yoshijin and Ouchi Yoshicho to divide the victory and defeat in Bungo Province. "He didn't know the news that the Date family had landed in Bungo Province.

Ryuzoji Takanobu was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "If it weren't for our containment, do you think Ouchi Yoshicho still has a chance to win?" Once Yoshicho Ouchi fails, Yoshitomo will not let us go, so what should I do when the time comes? ”

Ryuzoji Takanobu means that it is better to fight late than early, and now there is Ouchi Yoshicho entangled Otomo Yoshicho in Bungo Country, and when Ouchi Yoshicho fails, Otomo Yoshicho must be the next person to deal with Ryuzoji Takanobu, and there will be no helper at that time.

Nabeshima Naoshige pondered for a long time, and his intuition was that it was better to withdraw to Nakamura Castle, but seeing that Ryuzoji Takanobu was stubborn and couldn't listen to his words, he began to waver. If he knew that the Date family had landed in Bungo Province, he probably wouldn't be so shaken.

Ryuzoji Takanobu was stubborn, Nabeshima Naoshige's mind was shaken, and the rest of the retainers immediately spoke up, mostly agreeing with Ryuzoji Takanobu's words.
