The third is that the people of the Niko family are worried that one day, when the Niko family and the Kuroda family turn from allies to enemies, the Kuroda family can easily attack the Niko family through Tsuyama Castle, and just like the performance of the Kuroda family this time, they will drive straight in, which also adds the strength of the Kuroda family and Inaba, and when the time comes, with the strength of the Niko family, it is only a matter of time before the Kuroda family is destroyed, which is what the four of them are most worried about.

But the meaning of Kuroda Vocational High School is very simple, now Misaku is in the hands of my Kuroda family, if your Nizi family doesn't know each other, do you still want the agreed half country?

At this time, the four members of the Niko family began to regret why they had not been able to resist the attack of the Miura family before, otherwise with the situation at that time, the Niko family could at least occupy Majima County, and the situation would not be so passive now. But history is a single axis, there are no other branches, and there are no ifs, and now it is too late for the Nizi family to regret it.

"What Kuroda-sama said is indeed reasonable, but when it comes to land, I don't dare to make a decision without permission, and I ask Kuroda-sama to allow me to wait for the lord to make a decision." Ushio Yukiyo is still more sophisticated, and immediately said respectfully to Kuroda's vocational high school.

"Hmmm! That's how it should be, in that case, giving the Nizi family eight days should be enough to think about it! Kuroda asked.

"Kuroda-sama, that's enough." Ushio said.

"In that case, I'm here to wait for the good news of the Nizi family!" Kuroda said to the four of them.

At the same time, in Fukatsu-gun, Bigo Province, Kobayakawa Takakei had already surrounded the Kuroda family's Fukuyama Castle with an army of 7,000. However, in view of the Kuroda family's previous defensive strength in Nogami Castle, Kobayakawa Takakei did not rashly order people to attack the castle, but let the army repair and set up camp on the spot, and he first inspected the surroundings of Fukuyama Castle, thinking about how to attack the castle.

At noon on this day, when the Kobayakawa family was preparing for a tentative siege, Hosaku came to report that thousands of men and horses from the Kuroda family had attacked the rear of the Kobayakawa family's army. It's not that the Kuroda family doesn't want to hide their whereabouts, but this Fukatsu County is all the way along the coast, and there are no obstacles to dodge, so the Kobayakawa family's Hosaku discovered his whereabouts in advance.

"Who is the leader of the Kuroda family?" Takakei Kobayakawa asked.

"Look at the banner is the Kuroda family's first fierce general, Iate Tomoji." He replied.

"Got it, someone's coming!" Kobayakawa Takashi shouted loudly.

"My lord, what do you command?" Takahei Iguchi walked in at this time.

"Order the whole army to regroup, and the army is ready to retreat." Takakei Kobayakawa said.

"Lord, why is that?" Ryuhei Ikuguchi asked in surprise.

"Because the Kuroda family's Imate Tomoshi has come from the rear of the main family with thousands of people, and it will be a quarter of an hour away." Takakei Kobayakawa said.

"Hey!" Ryuhei Iguchi immediately went down to give the order.

By the time the Imate Tomoji clan came to Fukuyama Castle with 8,000 men, Kobayakawa Takakei's army had already retreated to Anna County with his 7,000 men.

The Imate Tomoji went around from Anna-gun to the rear of Kobayakawa Takakei, preparing to sneak up on Kobayakawa Takakei's army. However, Kobayakawa Takakei learned the news in advance, and also made a detour from Anna County, preparing to return to Numata County. The two sides were surprisingly consistent this time, anyway, Kobayakawa Takakei returned to Numata County smoothly this time.

For the Imate Tomoji, although they did not defeat Kobayakawa Takakei's army, they at least forced Kobayakawa to retreat, and it can be regarded as a successful completion of the task of securing Fukuyama Castle.

The current Imate Tomoji is no longer the hot-tempered young man he used to be, and although he is not yet forty years old, Imate Tomoji, who has been the lord of the country for a long time, will no longer lose his temper for failing to defeat the enemy once. You can't beat your opponent this time, and there will be a next time. The next time Kobayakawa Takakei won't have such good luck, Iate Yuji squinted and thought.

Hanafang Masayuki and the others knew that the Imate Tomoshi was here with a large army, so they immediately brought Kuno Shigekatsu, Masuda Masaaki and several wealthy family heads to visit.

"I've seen Inoate-sama later." Hanafang Masayuki took the lead and said.

"Hmmm! Don't be polite, just now I have heard that this time in Nogami Castle, Yoshida Nagatoshi with 300 people, resisted Kobayakawa's attack, and finally fell into the city, but caused a loss of thousands of people to Kobayakawa, but is there such a thing? Imate asked.

"That's true, Yoshida Nagatoshi, a young man, is really doing well this time." Hanafang Masayuki said.

"Hmmm! This kid is really accurate, I thought these young people were just lucky, and they had something to do with the officers and soldiers, and now it seems that they are all manufacturable! It is a blessing for our family to have so many outstanding young people! Imate said with a smile.

"Inoite-sama, I've already ordered someone to prepare food, so please go into the city and rest first! The army outside the city will also be arranged. Hanafang said.

"Okay, let's go to the city, and we'll talk about the rest later. This time, we will go to Iwami Province while the Mori Yuan is in possession, and strive to lay down a little more territory in the country of Bigo, and then the Mori family will know that my Kuroda family is powerful. Imate said.

"Hey!" The crowd shouted in unison.

At this time, outside the bow cutting castle of Mimasaka Province, the Kuroda family came outside the castle.

"Look, there's a soldier from the Kuroda family." A soldier of the Jiaonan family in the city of Bow Cutting shouted loudly.

"Listen to the people in the city, my Kuroda family has captured Mimasaka Province, and the Kuroda family hopes that the Kakunan family can submit to the Kuroda family and stop making unnecessary resistance." The Ashigaru of the Kuroda family shouted.

"This is absolutely impossible, this family is a retainer of the Miura family, and has served the Miura family for generations, even if the Miura family perishes, it will never submit to the Kuroda family, don't be delusional." Kakunan Shigeyoshi said loudly.

"The Miura family has perished, and Misaku is already under the control of my Kuroda family, and if the Kakunan family blindly resists to the end, there will be no future." The Kuroda family's Ashigaru continued.

"Even if this is the case, the family will definitely not surrender, so the family will go with the Miura family!" Kakunan Shigeyoshi said.

"Everyone in the city listens, all the people of my Kuroda family are the taxes of the five princes and five people, as long as you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, my Kuroda family will definitely not blame you, and you can also enjoy the treatment of all the people of my Kuroda family. Those who are willing to continue to serve in the army can also enter their own army. Kuroda Ashigaru continued. (To be continued.) )
