"Lord Takayama, instead of rushing to preach in Nosaka Castle now, it is better to wait for me to unify Wakasa Province and stabilize the territory, and it is not too late to come back!" Naito Ruan said solemnly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"So that's the case, then I'll take Mr. Floyse with you, and thank Brother Ru'an first." After Takayama Yuzhao got the answer of hope, he left happily.

"There are many sects of Buddhism in the world, and the shrines cover the whole world, so it is not easy to preach here, Mr. Louis Floyse is really not easy!" Naito Ruan shook his head and muttered to himself.

As for what he said about unifying Wakasa and the like, it was just a perfunctory Takayama Yuzhao, not to mention that this matter was very difficult, even if he really took Wakasa Province, he would not let Freud come to preach, which would only affect his own ruling base. What should be done and what should not be done, he still has a clear distinction on this.

At this time, in the castle of the Bungo Kuni Otomo family's main house, Otomo Sorinsho and Kakuma Ishimune were sitting in the middle of the castle tower, and something was being discussed.

"Teacher, the Kuroda family has defeated the Maori family." Otomo Sorin, a little anxiously, said to the Tsukakuma Ishizong.

Otomo Sorin is a sturdy middle-aged man with an angular face that looks a little fierce. A big sparkling bald head didn't make him look a little merciful, on the contrary, it seemed to be more fierce.

To be able to become the lord of the six countries of Kitakyushu at the age of 38 is a very remarkable degree. At present, the whole world can be compared with Otomo Sorin, that is, the head of the Kuroda family, who is currently forty-four years old Kuroda Zhitaka.

"My lord, please don't be impatient, for this family, this may not be an opportunity." Kakukuma Ishizong said.

Kakukuma Ishimune, the military advisor of the Otomo family who is proficient in the art of war of Takeda-ryu and Ogasawara-ryu, is also the teacher of Otomo Sorin, in the second-order collapse rebellion, it was he who gave advice to Otomo Sorin, helped the side of Otomo Sorin, who was already at a disadvantage at the time, won the battle, and won the support of many important ministers in the family for him.

Because of his relationship with Otomo Sorin, as well as his excellent strategy and courage, Kakukuma Ishimune soon became Otomo Yoshijin's right-hand man and right-hand man, and he was also the teacher of Tachibana Michiyuki and Yoshihiro (Takahashi Shaoyun). And Tachibana Michiyuki and Yoshihiro Zhenri are characters known as Otomo Shuangbi.

"Teacher, you said that it may not be an opportunity, what do you mean? Also ask the teacher to explain. Otomo Sorin said suspiciously.

"The Kuroda family has defeated the Maori family, but the Kuroda family seems to be too confident, and the Kuroda family in Zhou and Chang states has not even occupied it, so it can be said that Zhou and Chang are completely borderless now."

"Teacher means ......"

"Hey! Lord, how about the family sending troops for two weeks? ”

"Teacher, but at present, there are more than 30,000 troops in the Kuroda family's Yasui and Iwami, and there are also many famous generals from the western countries such as Kuroda Vocational High School, Iute Tomoji, Takenaka Shigeharu, and Tsuchihi Yahachi. And the largest number of troops in the main family is only 20,000 at present, and they also have to guard against the Akizuki family, the Tachibana family (Tachibana Jianzi), Ryuzoji, the Arima family, and the Sagara family, it seems that it is ......" Otomo Sorin's eyes lit up just now, but he immediately hesitated.

"Lord, please don't hesitate, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our family! Once you hesitate to go out and miss this opportunity, when the Kuroda family occupies Zhou and Chang, the family will regret it too late. Lord, that's more than 300,000 stones! Kakuma said excitedly.

"It's just that the Kuroda family is indeed extremely powerful...... I'm afraid the family ......" Otomo said hesitantly, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Kakuma Ishizong.

"Although the soldiers of the Kuroda family are very strong in combat and have a large number of people, but after the great war between Shikoku and the Western Kingdom, the army of the Kuroda family must already be at the end of the strong crossbow, whether it is morale or the combat effectiveness of the army, it will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to fight with high intensity.

If the family plays this time, it may not be impossible to defeat the Kuroda family. Moreover, the Kuroda family has risen for a short time, and the foundation must be unstable, if the Kuroda family can be defeated once, maybe the family can completely defeat the Kuroda family and accept its people and land. The more Kakuma Shizong spoke, the more excited he became.

"Teacher, the Kuroda family is in the limelight at the moment, and it is better for the family not to have evil relations with the Kuroda family." In the end, Otomo decided not to fight the Kuroda family.

"In that case, it's up to the lord to decide."

Just a few days after Otomo Sorin's decision not to send troops to the two states of Zhou and Chang, the Kuroda family of 10,000 troops each, led by Kuroda Vocational High and Ite Tomoji, entered the Zhou and Chang states respectively.

At the same time, in fact, the battle in the western country was not completely over, and Matsui Shigetaka led 9,000 men and horses to besiege Hamada Castle, the residence of Yoshimi Masayori, the former lord of Iwami Kuni.

These 8,000 people, including 2,000 people from the Inaba Province brought by Matsui Shigetaka himself, and another 1,000 people from the Inaba Country, were stationed at Shikano Castle in the Inaba Province under the leadership of Matsui Shigetaka's eldest son, Matsui Takataka.

In addition, there are 2,000 Sanada Masayuki's troops, 1,000 Izumo troops of the Mori family who surrendered to the Kuroda family, 2,000 people from Hakuki Province, and 1,000 Ikumi people from the country.

It is also worth mentioning that the Ming army of the Three Thousand Hidden Ambiguity Kingdom stayed in Izumo Province with Dawn Shinen, and quickly took over the land occupied by Yoshikawa Motoharu.

Yoshikawa Motoharu had already carried out a campaign to abolish the castle in Izumo Province, so it greatly reduced the workload of Dawn Nobuen's army, and finally Dawn Nobuyen led the army to be stationed in Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, and the Izumo people of the Niko family were actually in a confrontation situation.

Although there are only 3,000 people in Dawn Shinen, but in the face of only 1,500 people left in the mountains Yukimori Izumo, the number still has an absolute advantage, and these 3,000 Ming people are carefully selected warriors, and the combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of Yoshikawa Motoharu's command before, it can be said that after Yoshikawa Motoharu was eliminated, Yamanaka Yukimori ushered in a more powerful opponent.

Yamanaka Yukimori has a lot of complaints about this, and he feels that after defeating the Mori family, the Kuroda family, as an ally, should return the Izumo country to the Niko family. But after negotiations, the Kuroda family ignored this, and directly garrisoned 3,000 people, and if you have the ability, you Yamanaka Yumori came to attack Tsukiyama Tomita Castle to try.

This is the Warring States, this is the era when strength is king, and if you have to keep any samurai traditions, it can only be said that it is too pedantic. And that's half of Izumo country!
