On the other side of Dazaifu, a huge military camp rises from the ground, and in the core tent of the military camp, Kiyokawa Hengxiu took out a large pair of silk cloth and spread it on the ground, and the silk cloth has drawings of various colors, which is a very detailed map covering the entire Chikuzen, Hizen, and Chikugo countries.

From this map, we can also see how deep the Date family's plans for Kyushu are, and the Date family's espionage activities in Kyushu can be traced back to the Yoshitaka Ouchi period, providing the Date family with a lot of first-hand information.

Qinghe Hengxiu got straight to the point, went straight to the point, and said: "Two, the boss has made rapid progress, breaking through more than ten important castles one after another, forming a two-sided attack on the mansion, well done!" We should also hurry up, otherwise it will be too late to wait until the city is broken. ”

Matsushima Hengsheng and Iwase Hengzhong all nodded yes, it is true, Funai Castle is the residence of the famous Otomo family of Bungo, if even the Funai Castle is broken, they will play soy sauce on the periphery, and their faces will be lost.

The first phalanx of the Date Nishi Route Army set out from Okayama Castle, and immediately after arriving at Kokura Castle, they marched along the Chikuzen Street towards Dazaifu, with guides along the way, and arrived at Dazaifu without a battle.

They must start the war as soon as possible, and this battle must be fought beautifully, display their prestige, and cause a major impact in Chikuzen, Hizen, Chikugo, and Higo, and they must also boost their morale with victory, and then they can make persistent efforts and continue to fight.

Qinghe Hengxiu pointed to a point on the map and said: "We are here now, Dazaifu Miyajiyue, this is the city mountain, Shao Erdong still lives in the location of the castle Shifukuji Castle, the great friendly army is stationed here, the angle between Gaoliang Mountain and Feiyue." Toji Michiyuki is worthy of being a famous general of the Otomo family, he relies on the Chikugo River and Mt. Kora, and forms a diagonal with Sefukuji Castle, no matter where we attack, he can attack and retreat. All of us were dispatched, and he was able to calmly withdraw from the battlefield and retreat into the mountains by relying on the blocking of the Chikugo River and Mt. Kora. ”

Matsushima Hengsheng looked at the map, pondered for a while, and said firmly: "Hit Fukuji Castle." ”

Qinghe Hengxiu was stunned, he didn't expect that Songdao Hengsheng, who had always been bold, would let go of the bigger goal and ignore it, and kill chickens with a knife, and said suspiciously: "Songdao, tell me your reason?" ”

Matsushima Hengsheng said without hesitation: "This is our first battle into Kyushu, not only to win, but also to win beautifully." Relying on the Chikugo River, Toji Michiyuki seems to be at a close position to Sefukuji Castle, but in fact it has abandoned Sefukuji Castle. We attacked Sefukuji Castle, which had been half-crippled by Ryuzoji Takanobu, and it can be said that it was effortless, so when the time comes, do you think Toji Michiyuki will save it or not? ”

Qinghe Hengxiu's eyes lit up, he had always looked forward to a decisive battle with Toji Daoxue, if Toji Daoxue rescued Sefukuji Castle, then the decisive battle he was expecting would break out at the same time, if he didn't come to the rescue, would the originally weak Shao Erdong still have the courage to stick to it? Thinking of this, Qinghe Hengxiu glanced at Songdao Hengsheng, he didn't expect Songdao Hengsheng to grow a lot.

Iwase Hengzhong licked his lips and said with a smile: "The former Zhenxi general Shao Er clan has long been different from what it used to be, although he relied on the help of the Otomo clan to defeat the challenger Ryuzoji Takanobu, but it also made the Shao Er clan suffer heavy losses, and he is no longer the male leader of the year. However, due to the defeat of the challenger Ryuzoji Takanobu, the Shao Er clan can be said to be thin-skinned and stuffy, with weak troops, and the territory is not small. ”

Although the Shaoji clan has fallen, he still has the duties of Chikuzen Guardian and Hizen Guardian, of course, Chikuzen Guardian Shaoji Dongshang, Ouchi Yoshinaga, and Otomo Yoshizhen are shared, and Hizen Country is limited to a small piece of territory. However, with the complete defeat of the challenger Ryuzoji Takanobu, nominally the territory of Ryuzoji Takanobu belongs to Shaoji Dongshang, and Toji Daoxue is just a guest residence.

Sometimes the name doesn't do much, but sometimes it can be very useful.

Kiyokawa and Matsushima naturally understood the meaning of Iwase Hengzhong's words, and the three of them nominally had their own jurisdictions, but they all carried the word "acting" in front of their respective official positions.

The meaning of the agency is obvious.,Whether it's Izumo or Misaku, it's nominally the direct territory of the Date family.,They just manage it on behalf of the Date family.,In fact, there is another system of internal affairs.,Their main job is to convene and supervise various forces.。

Now there are rumors that Osaka Castle will establish a feudal domain in the Kyushu region after the conquest of Kyushu is over, and these retainers who fought in the south and north are among the people who are on the list.

In order to establish a feudal domain, you must first have enough land. If all of them surrender like Chikuzen Province, even if they were able to establish a domain, there would not be many feudal domains. This is also the intention of Kiyokawa Hengxiu, Matsushima Hengkatsu, and Iwase Hengzhong to attack Fukuji Castle first, if they cross the Chikugo River to find a decisive battle with Toji Michiyuki, Toji Michiyuki is afraid that it will be difficult to find in the mountains, and it will also cause Shaoji Fuyutsu to surrender to Kokura Castle.

Stealing chickens is not a matter of rice, they don't do it.

You must know that before and after the attack, the treatment of Shao Erdongshang surrender is very different, surrender before the attack at most reduce the seal, surrender after the attack light to reduce the seal, heavy directly remove the seal, at least have to reduce the seal to the distance.

In this way, the Hizen Province left behind by the Shoji clan, plus the Chikugo Province and Higo Province of the Otomo clan, can be divided into at least four or five feudal domains, and their chances of establishing a feudal domain in Kyushu will be greatly increased.

This one in and one out, the three of them can still be counted.

Kiyokawa Hengxiu, Matsushima Hengkatsu, and Iwase Hengzhong reached a unified opinion, and then held a plenary meeting to inform everyone of their decision, of course, to tell everyone to pack it a little.

The intention of attacking Shifukuji Castle is to force the big friendly army to come to the rescue, and the idea of besieging the city to send reinforcements is much taller, and it will not make people feel like they are cutting the door frame with an axe.

Qinghe Hengxiu resolutely ordered that troops could be dispatched and an attack could be launched.

Tsukushi Yuimon attended the meeting, and when he learned that the Date army was going to attack Sefukuji Castle first, so that Toji Michiyuki could come to the rescue, forming a situation of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, he was torn up when he heard this suggestion. He has been doing the work of Shao Er Dongshang, and through Baba Ken, he told Shao Er Dongshang twice on Wednesday to go to the Ogura Castle camp as soon as possible to submit the reduction table to Date Mashiro.

Unexpectedly, before waiting for Shao Er Dongshang's reply, Qinghe Hengxiu took the lead in launching an attack on Shifuji City, and now it will pay a heavy price to surrender and sign an alliance under the city.

However, Tsukushi Yumen still sent his henchmen to inform Baba Kanshu of Qinghe Hengxiu's decision, and make the final exhortation, surrendering before and after the siege, and the final result was also very different.
