In the second year of Hongji (1556), at the end of January. Just as Masara was about to continue on his way to the center of the Ouchi family's rule in the Zhoubo Yamaguchi area, he received an urgent letter from Minami Kyushu.

This letter was secretly sent by the Luo family Hosaku who was lurking in Shimazu's house, and the letter mainly reported the situation of Shimazu Yoshihiro's cousin at home after Masarashi returned to Satsuma.

It can be said that Shimazu Yoshihiro did not live up to Masayo's expectations, and since returning to the family, he has repeatedly stated the disadvantages of the Shimazu family's violation of the peace treaty of the Luo family, and asked his father Shimazu Takahisa to take the initiative to stop the attack on the Osumi area and the North Satsuma area, and take the initiative to ask the Luo family for guilt to ensure the survival of the family.

For the request of the second son Shimazu Yoshihiro, Shimazu Takahisa did not respond directly, but at this time the retainers who had been dominated by the main battle faction made a strong response, and some of the retainers even bluntly said that Shimazu Yoshihiro had completely surrendered to the Luo family and became a fine work of Luo Masahiro, and strongly recommended that the lord Shimazu Takahisa put Shimazu Yoshihiro under house arrest.

In fact, at this time, Shimazu Takahisa was also up and down in his heart, he didn't know the true strength of the Luo family before, but with the tip of the iceberg revealed by the second son Shimazu Yoshihiro, he completely understood the true strength of the Luo family. In the face of such a powerful Luo family, he was really a little afraid that after failure, he would lead the zhì family to collapse due to his decision. His own failure is acceptable, but because of this, the zhì family loses hope for continuation, and that is the family's eternal sinner.

Just when Shimazu Takashi hesitated for a long time, the envoy of the Maori family, Katsura Motosumi, suddenly arrived.

After his defeat at the end of last year at the Maori family, Katsura escaped back to Tayama Castle in Yoshigun, the Maori family, via the Guò mountain forest trail. His family also suffered a great loss this time, although his family and some members of the family were saved from disaster because they had to settle as hostages in Tayama Castle, Yoshigun, a Maori home town. However, the clansmen who remained in the territory were exterminated by the army of the Luo family because of the loss of the territory. Arguably. Gui Yuancheng's family is in this big battle with the Luo family. Became almost nothing.

After returning to the residence of the Mori family, Gui Yuancheng was received by the Governor of the Mori Family, who had just fled home, and accepted the task of secretly going to the southern Kyushu region to incite the powerful forces of Southern Kyushu to rebel against the Luo family, so as to gain respite for the Mori family.

Although at this time, the Luo family's navy had already made every effort to block the water traffic in the coastal areas of the western countries such as An Yiguo and Bei China, but after all, the Luo family's navy could not fully monitor these areas twenty-four hours a day, so Gui Yuancheng, who had Mao Li Yuan entrusted the task, took advantage of an evening opportunity. Boarding a small morning, he secretly entered the Suitan Sea off the coast of Bigo Province in an attempt to contact the Hosokawa family naval forces in the area. This time, he was accompanied by a retainer of the Maori family, Amano Matsubi.

This time, Amano also took the mission of Mori Motosaku, and his goal was to contact the Hosokawa family, in an attempt to unite the Hosokawa family to deal with the Luo family. Although Maori Yuan failed miserably this time, it did not panic because of this. As he fled back to Tayama Castle in Yoshigun, he quickly gathered his family's forces and quickly learned about the situation in various places through the Guò Mori family's network in various places. After learning that the Luo family's navy had entered the waters of Suitan and began to blockade the coastal area of Bingo Province. Maori Yuan instantly realized that a new opportunity for Maori had appeared.

In his opinion, with the Luo family completely controlling the Seto Inland Sea region. And the naval forces began to infiltrate the Suitan sea area between Yiyu and Bigo Kingdom, as the Hosokawa family, which has always controlled the Suitan sea area, will naturally be dissatisfied with this, and even conflict with the Luo family because of this. As for the opportunity to unite with the Hosokawa family because of this, Mori Moto, who is known for his strategy, will naturally not let it go. So this time, he took the risk and sent his important ministers to start running here.

In addition to Katsura Motosumi who rushed to the Minami-Kyushu region and Matsuru Amano who rushed to the Hosokawa family, he also sent the rest of the personnel to Bigo Province and various parts of Beichu, and he also sent people to the Kyoto area again to meet with the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the head of the Shogun, Honganji Seruru, and even sent an envoy to the Niko family in the Izumo region, his nemesis. Attempts to use a qiē to increase the pressure on the Roche family, so as to buy respite for the Maori family.

And this time, Amano Zheng, who traveled with Gui Yuancheng, was also extremely hateful to the Luo family. Compared to Gui Yuancheng, he almost fled back to his own territory, and organized the forces of the territory to fight against the Luo family. But in the end, he was a step too late, and in the end he could only hide in a hill and grass to watch his own city, Shengcheng Mountain City, be captured by the Luo family's army, and his own people were either killed or captured. Therefore, he was determined to complete the task of uniting the Hosokawa family given by his father-in-law, Mori Moto. If he fails, he plans to commit suicide by caesarean section to prove his resolve. All the qiē is for revenge on the Luo family. Of course, this adventure to the sea is also very dangerous, after all, the Luo family's navy has implemented a blockade in this area, and once they encounter the Luo family's navy, the two of them have no choice but to commit suicide by caesarean section.

Coincidentally, in a very likely situation where they were discovered by the Luo family's patrol fleet, the ship where the two were located was the first to encounter the Hosokawa family's patrol fleet in the Suitan area. So under the escort of these fleets, the two finally landed along the coast of the Konoya Territory in the Northern Iyu Province in the Shikoku region.

Immediately after landing, Amano Mazuru rushed to Awa Province in the Shikoku region, escorted by soldiers sent by the Hosokawa family, to meet the governor of the Hosokawa family, Hosokawa Harumoto. And Gui Yuancheng followed the route of Iyu Province and Tosa Province, and finally arrived at Hyuga Province in Kyushu. Since the Yiyu Kingdom and the Tosa Kingdom did not have the strict censorship system of the Luo family's territory at this time, Gui Yuancheng did not encounter too many difficulties along the way, and it was almost a smooth journey.

After arriving in Hyuga Province, Katsura Motocheng first asked to meet Ito Yoshisuke, the governor of the Ito family. The Ito family was originally the vanguard of the rebellion against the Luo family, and naturally hit it off with the construction of the alliance proposed by Mao Li Yuan against the Luo family, so the two families immediately concluded an alliance against the Luo family. Not only that, but under the guidance of Ito Yoshiyu, Katsura Motosumi concluded a new alliance against the Luo family on behalf of the Mori family and the Saeki family, which was entrenched in the southeastern region of Bungo Province.

After completing a joint mission with the Ito family and the Saeki family, after more than two months of departure from Bigo Province, Katsura finally arrived at the true destination of the trip, the Shimazu family in the Satsuma region, and asked to meet the governor of the Shimazu family, Takahisa Shimazu. At this time, Shimazu Takahisa was also hesitating whether to continue to attack Kitasatsuma and Nishiosumi regions.

After meeting Shimazu Takahisa for the first time, Gui Yuancheng did not get a clear answer from Shimazu Takahisa, but Gui Yuancheng is also a smart person, and after obviously feeling Shimazu Takahisa's hesitation, Gui Yuancheng immediately secretly visited some important ministers of the main battle faction in the Shimazu family, so as to learn the true situation of the Shimazu family.

Therefore, Gui Yuancheng resolutely lobbied for Shimazu Takahisa's hesitation, focusing on explaining to Shimazu Takahisa and his retainers that at this time, the main army of the Luo family was trapped in the western region and was contained by the power of the Maori family. At the same time, he also took the initiative to say that Mao Li Yuan was inciting the plan of the Toyozen Kingdom, the Bungo Kingdom, the Chikugo Kingdom, the Zhou Defense Kingdom, the Aki Kingdom, and the local wealthy clan forces and temple shrine forces to jointly rebel against the Luo family. Finally, I would like to emphasize once again that if the Mori family of Aki Province, the Ito family of Hyuga Province, the Saeki family of the southeastern region of Bungo Province, the Kono family of Northern Iyu Province, and even the Hosokawa family join forces against the Luo family, the Luo family will inevitably be greatly contained. If the Shimazu family can join in this joint confrontation against the Luo family, it will naturally get great benefits.

Shimazu Guijiu naturally wouldn't completely believe the big cake thrown by Gui Yuancheng, so he secretly sent someone to investigate exactly. At this time, with the lifting of the ban on the waters of Itsukushima, the situation of the First Battle of Itsukushima was gradually transmitted to various places. At the same time, some of the situation in the western region and the Kitakyushu region is gradually spreading. As a result, Shimazu Takahisa also gradually grasped some of the situation in the area controlled by the Luo family, thus determining whether what Gui Yuancheng said was false.

What Masashi did not expect was that after completely determining the strength of the Luo family, and the fact that the Luo family was in the middle of wars and riots in the western country and northern Kyushu, Shimazu Takahisa felt that this was the only time that the Shimazu family had the opportunity to expand their power and avoid being annexed by the increasingly powerful Luo family in the future. And the so-called opening of the bow has no turning back, so after a detailed discussion with his reclusive father Shimazu Tadara, Shimazu Takahisa finally determined the plan to continue to attack North Satsuma and Nishi Dayu, and at the same time secretly joined the alliance against the Luo family in tandem with the Maori family.

Since it is an alliance with the Maori family, it is natural to dispose of the second son of his own family, who represents the power of the Luo family. But after all, it is the tiger poison that does not eat children, and under the pleading of Shimazu Yoshihiro's mother, in order to avoid prematurely stiffening the relationship with the Luo family, so as to continue to paralyze the Luo family, so Shimazu Takahisa finally put the second son Shimazu Yoshihiro under house arrest.

And Gui Yuancheng, who had successfully completed the task, also left the Satsuma region at this time and began to go to the liver of Dayu to pay home. He tried to draw the Liver Fu family into the camp against the Luo family.

Regarding Gui Yuancheng's series of actions, due to the lack of manpower in the Shimazu family, Masahiro naturally did not know, but because he had been sending people to pay close attention to Shimazu Yoshihiro's situation, so with Shimazu Yoshihiro under house arrest, the situation of the Shimazu family was naturally quickly transmitted to Masahiro's hands.
