It was in the middle of March that the Eagle of Hizen in Kyushu, Roshi Masara, led a large army to leave Takamori Castle in Aso County, Higo Province.

At this time, the soldiers of the Luo family divided into three routes, and marched to Zhijin County and Jiuzhu County in the territory of the Toyomi family of Fenghou Guoda. Within a few days, the towns of Kuju, Noyama Castle, Tsuga Murei Castle, and Okajo, which had entered the county, were approaching Ono and Oita in the hinterland of Bungo.

But at this time, the Luo family finally encountered fierce resistance from the Otomo family, because the retainers of the Otomo family who were divided in the matter of the heir to the family governor quickly united and resisted the Luo family's army outside Ono and Oita respectively.

Just when the Otomo family thought that they had entered a tug-of-war with the Luo family from then on, the Luo family governor quickly persuaded Nanshan City to surrender, and then crossed the mountainous Jiulian Heavy Mountain Range, and occupied Xiong Mouli City like a divine soldier, and quickly united the remaining two Luo family armies to attack the reinforcements of the Otomo family at night against the Jiuzhu Army Jiaomu Li City, reversing the confrontation between the two sides in one fell swoop.

Immediately after that, despite the fatigue of his own military situation, after solving the reinforcements of the Otomo family, he resolutely transferred his troops and rushed into the western part of Oita County with lightning speed. In just a few days, the Yoshioka family, a wealthy family in the western part of Oita County, announced their surrender, and the Sa family and Shibata family, who had lost troops in the previous night raid of the Kuzhu Army, were wiped out.

That's when something even more shocking happened. At the end of March, one of the commanders of the Otomo coalition army in Ono County, Irita Qincheng secretly communicated with the Luo family, and united with the Lu family to wipe out the local 10,000 Tian family and other wealthy families in one fell swoop. Since then, Ono County, including Odaira ore, and other places have quickly fallen into the hands of the Luo family. And along the way, the army of the Luo family also took the opportunity to seize the opportunity that everyone could not react. Attacked Nakatani Pass, an important passage connecting the western part of Bungo Kaibe County to Ohno County. The power of the Saeki family in Kaibe County was blocked at the other end of the Tilt Mountain Range.

After completely controlling Ono-gun. The army marched non-stop to the coastal area of Haibe County. The local Usuki family and the Tsukumi family also lost their troops in the previous battles at this time, and there was no definite way to resist the attack of the Luo family, so the northern coastal area of Haibe County also quickly fell into the pocket of the Luo family, and the branch cities such as Kuriyama Castle and Tsuraga Castle, which were responsible for protecting the inner hall of the prefecture, also fell, and at this time, the army of the road had begun to regroup at Tsuuga Castle on the border between Haibe County and Oita County, ready to attack Oita County from the south, and then close to the Funaikan.

The Otomo family, who had not been beaten by enemy forces in several generations to the ruling center of the Funaikan, were furious at the incident. The Saeki family, who was in charge of guarding the border in the southeast of Umibe County, was furious. Regardless of the safety of the border, he quickly assembled his army, and under the leadership of the Governor Saeki Yukyo, he began to march along the coastal strip of Bungo to Tsukumi Bay (the former territory of the Tsukumi family) in Kaibe County, and confronted the army of the Luo family under the command of Takasaka Masanobu who had gathered there.

To the north of Bungo, the wealthy families of Kunisaki and Ami also took action in an attempt to quickly support the Funachikan. But they argued about when to send troops to help.

"I'm afraid it's a conspiracy of Irita Qincheng this time!" The new governor of the Tianbei family, Tian Bei Jianzhong (the younger brother of Tian Bei Jiansheng, inherited the position of the family governor of the Tian Bei family after Tian Bei Jiansheng's death) spoke.

Irita's previous betrayal is well known, and while everyone is angry, they are also worried about the attack on the Fuuchi Pavilion. It's a conspiracy. What's more, at this time, most of the wealthy families of the Otomo family in Quicki County and Kunisaki County were against the Shioichimaru Inheritance Governor, who was being attacked at this time. If it weren't for the Fuuchikan, it would be a symbol of the Otomo family's rule of Bungo. They won't even send troops to help, but even if they do, they must first ensure their own safety. As for the insidiousness of the Hizen Eagle of the Luo family, everyone had already deeply understood it before, and if it was really the conspiracy of Hizen Eagle and Irita Qincheng to lure them into Oita County this time, they would naturally be extra careful.

Therefore, even though everyone had already gathered troops, they still maintained a posture of concern and did not immediately send troops. It's just that it was because of their slight hesitation that they completely lost the opportunity to rescue the Funachi Pavilion (later historians also believed that if they could rescue the Fuuchi Museum in time in this battle, at least the Otomo family would not have perished so quickly).

At the beginning of April, an army of more than 4,000 men under the command of Masarashi finally surrounded the Funachikan, and at this time, the rest of Oita Prefecture was occupied by the Luo family, except for Takasakiyama Castle, a branch town at the junction of Oita County and Quickami County, and the area east of Tsurazaki Castle, which was established at the entrance of the Ono River into the sea. The forces of the Luo clan gathered in the south at Tsuraga Castle at the junction of Oita and Kaibe guns, and after receiving an order from Masayo, they also began to march towards the Funaikan.

What made Masarashi even happier was that after several days of fierce fighting, with the Great God family as the internal response, Kinoshita Masanao and Andel finally captured the Kakumu Castle in Jiuzhu County. On the occasion of the destruction of the castle, in order to prevent the body of the ancestor from being desecrated by the Luo family, the three of them prepared to self-immolate with the body of the ancestor Otomo Yoshikan. Fortunately, this move was discovered in advance by Hosaku arranged by the three of them by the god town, which allowed the god town to lead people to snatch back the body of Otomo Yoshikan, and in the fierce battle, Yamato Mamoru Sakai, Misaku Tsukumi Mamoru and Taguchi Tibetan Sato were killed respectively.

Outside the capture of Kumamu Castle, under the persuasion of the great god Zhenzheng, the nearby Japanese-born castle guard at the border between Bungo and Bunzen countries finally opened the castle and surrendered, and since then, the Jiuzhu County has also fallen into the hands of the Luo family. After leaving part of the army to garrison the castle, Kinoshita Masanao was leading the army to escort the remains of Otomo Yoshikan and others and their heads to the camp where Masarashi was.

The Luo family's series of actions finally attracted the attention of neighboring countries at this time.

Since March, the Bungo area of the Otomo family has been very lively. First, the news of the death of the Otomo family governor came out, and then there was a dispute between the Otomo family and the governor that shocked Kyushu. Subsequently, the Luo family, who was unwilling to be lonely, took the opportunity to go out of Fenghou in an attempt to avenge the ambush by the Otomo family last year.

At first, the Luo family took advantage of the chaos and robbery, and everyone was unimpressed. Everyone believes that even if the Otomo family suffered a crushing defeat to the Luo family last year, with the strength of the Otomo family at this time, it is absolutely no problem to ensure the safety of its home base, Bungo Country. Moreover, after last year's war, the Luo family must have consumed a lot of materials, and in this invasion war, how long the Luo family can support it is a problem. So they were very calm, and in addition to continuing to send people to pay attention to the farce between the Luo family and the Otomo family, they waited there to see the show.

It's just that as the Luo family continued to conquer the city in Fenghou, the surrounding heroes finally began to sit still. It seems that the Otomo family is likely to be destroyed. So, everyone finally made a move.

The first to make a move was the Ouchi family. After Otomo's son-in-law, Otomo Yoshizhen, disappeared in his own territory, Ouchi Yoshitaka quickly sent two messengers, one to the Otomo family's camp, and the other to Masaara, presumably preparing to put pressure on the Luo family to force the Luo family to stop invading the Otomo family.

The envoy sent by the Ouchi family to the Luo family this time is no longer Masahiro's cheap father-in-law, Sagara Takeren (the last time he sent the Luo family to negotiate peace, although the goal of peace was finally achieved, but it also paid the price of tens of thousands of people, which was regarded by the retainers within the Ouchi family as a submission to the Luo family, and Sagara Takeren, who suffered a lot of criticism, simply pretended to be sick at home), but the local wealthy clan of the Toyozen country, the Jojing family, a gradually sixty-year-old old guy.

This old guy is also a shrewd fellow, after being forcefully assigned this mission mission, he also knew that he would definitely not be treated by everyone in the Luo family, so he simply used the reason that he was too old to hurry quickly, and slowly rushed to the Luo family's main city, Anyue Mountain Castle, where he learned that Masayo had personally led the army to Bungo Province, and he followed Masayo's footsteps slowly, and arrived at the Rijo Castle at the junction of Bungo and Chikugo countries two days ago. At this time, he was rushing to Masayo's place with Kinoshita Masanao's army.

On the one hand, he sent people into the Otomo family to encourage the Otomo family to resist the Luo family, and on the other hand, he hoped to force the Luo family to compromise. And in the case that the grain reserves in the territory are about to bottom out, it is indeed not appropriate for the Luo family to conflict with the Ouchi family again at this time. Of course, it is estimated that Ouchi has the same idea. That's why Yoshitaka Ouchi sent an envoy to mediate. So Zhengliang decided to use the procrastination trick, not to mention that this guy is so knowledgeable about current affairs, Zhengliang believes that the two will have a good chance of cooperation after meeting.

Of course, the Ouchi family will definitely not just send an envoy to mediate, in fact, according to the supervision of the Intelligence Pavilion during this time, it was discovered that some of the Ouchi family Hosaku had infiltrated the territory of the Luo family in the western part of Chikuzen Province and began to be active frequently. Masahiro already smelled a strong smell of conspiracy. Therefore, he immediately ordered Shinnosuke Akabane and Shigemasa Yoshida, who were stationed in the area, to pay close attention to local movements and attack decisively whenever there was any trouble.

In addition, in addition to the actions of the Ouchi family, the Ito family, which is a traditional ally of the Otomo family to the south, also issued a denunciation order against the Luo family at this time, asking the Luo family to stop the invasion of Bungo, and has begun to gather troops and prepare to go out to Bungo Kunkaibe County to support the forces of the Saeki family, which is facing off with the Luo family's army there.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, the Luo family's strategy for the Bungo Kingdom must be stepped up.
