In the camp of the Luo family in the northern part of Satsuma Province in southern Kyushu, Luo Hui Liang personally explained the reason for the deliberate postponement of the alliance meeting with Kai, the main general of the Luo family's army.

Jia Fei listened directly, frowned, and pondered, the purpose of the young master's postponement of the meeting is indeed understandable, but it will also cause misunderstanding to despise other wealthy families, if you are not careful, it is very likely that it will be difficult for the coalition forces to work together. It's just that, when you turn your head and think about it, it seems that the shape of the wealthy clans in the northern Satsuma region is no longer qualified to complain, after all, this is a battle related to their life and death!

"Lord Qinzhi, don't worry, with the prestige of this family and the strength of the coalition forces, I'm afraid that the Shimazu family who learned the news is already thinking about whether to escape." At this time, Roche Huiliang's close attendant Wan Manmaru said.

"Hmph, the Shimazu family won't be so stupid!" After hearing this, Kai said coldly, "Don't underestimate the enemy, the Shimazu family did not hesitate to tear up the peace treaty formulated by the family this time, obviously determined to take the entire Satsuma country and even Osumi Province and other places into their arms. ”

"Straight Adult......"

"Okay, Wanmanmaru" Just when Wanmanmaru was about to refute Kai's pro-straightness, Luo Che Huiliang immediately stopped. Immediately, Luo Shi Huiliang bowed straight to Kai, and then said: "What Lord Qinzhi said is good, this time the Shimazu family is menacing, and it seems that some Ming pirates along the coast have been invited to help, which is definitely stronger than those mobs and monks in Kitakyushu at the beginning, and must not despise each other." So, my lord, it's almost time, so I'll wait as much as I can to go to the meeting. ”

Immediately, a smile appeared on Luo Huiliang's face, and he didn't say anything more directly to Jia Fei. Get out of the pergola. Turn over and get on the horse. Urging the horse to whip up, he went straight to the big tent.

As Jia Fei personally expected, in the big tent, the generals were already seated, waiting for the arrival of Luo Huiliang. The deputy generals of the Seventh Standing Brigade of the Luo Family, Shiga Yoshikin, Takeuchi Hisaharu, Yasutake Minbu, and Sano Kinshige and other generals got together, and the two fathers and sons of Hishigari Shigeaki and Hishinori Shigeaki of North Satsuma; The two brothers of the Prayer House and the Prayer House are heavy; More than a dozen wealthy families, such as Kitahara Yukane and Kitahara Kanemori, father and son, all gathered to discuss tactics over and over again. The only empty space in the tent is the seat of the main seat and the other position next to the main seat. When Roche Huiliang and Kai Fei entered the big tent in person. The crowd immediately fell silent and saluted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to be polite." After sitting on the two main seats with Jia Fei in person, Luo Che Huiliang smiled and said in return. As for several of Luo's close attendants, Huiliang also sat directly behind Huiliang at this time.

"I don't know what you have to do about this place?" Roche Huiliang continued. Previously, when he went out of battle, Luo Zhi Huiliang and Jia Fei Qin Zhi had a discussion, in the future coalition army, Luo Zhi Hui Liang was the mainstay, and Jia Fei Qin Zhi only assumed the responsibility of auxiliary, and this time the responsibility for the battle was borne by Luo Zhi Hui Liang himself. Therefore, this meeting was naturally presided over by Roche Huiliang.

"Your Highness. According to the following, the Shimazu family will definitely come to the decisive battle this time. Below, Kitahara Yukane glanced at Kai Kai and kissed him. He smiled at Teruara.

"Then, with the help of the Luo family's army, our army will undoubtedly win." Ryoshi Shigeming on the side immediately echoed. Immediately, everyone in the big tent also chimed in.

"That's true." After hearing many words praising the strength of the Luo family's army, Hui Liang also nodded happily and said, "Just in case, I have something to say to you below." ”

"Your Highness, I would like to hear about it."

"Nothing else. It's just that the Shimazu family is your old enemy, and you must want to decide the outcome of this battle, and then stop the invasion of the Shimazu family, and even regain the territory previously occupied by the Shimazu family. If you really want to do this, please do your best, and never underestimate the military strength of the Shimazu family. Luo Huiliang immediately alerted everyone, "Please also be sure to obey the deployment." ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will definitely obey the order and do our best." Everyone immediately replied. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Luo family planned to take this opportunity to assist them in winning, so as to show off their strength to the world, but at this time, it was indeed the stage of their life and death, and they would definitely do their best, of course, under certain conditions, they still had to preserve their strength a little.

"That's very good. If someone does not listen to orders or secretly delays the fighter in order to preserve strength, then please don't complain about the punishment from your own family......" After saying that, Luo Che Huiliang moved his gaze to the map unfolded in the big tent. This is a map of the military headquarters of the Shimazu family in the Zoe area, and it is full of circles and dots with a red pen. These are all troop deployments.

This time, the army on the Luo family's side had 500 standing troops and 2,000 reserve troops from the 7th Standing Brigade on land, while the two armies had more than 4,000 people. In total, the two armies numbered nearly seven thousand people. Judging from the information provided by the Intelligence Pavilion and the wealthy clans, the Shimazu family has more than 10,000 troops in the Zoe area, but this time it is the Shimazu family that attacks, and they defend, in fact, as long as the coalition forces are stationed here, then the Shimazu family can only attack here if they want to completely solve the wealthy clan in Northern Satsuma.

"In that case, is it to stay where you are for the time being and not take the initiative to attack?" Luo Shihui pondered in his conscience.

"Your Highness, do you have any suggestions for this battle?" Everyone saw that Luo Che Huiliang was looking at the map with his whole body instilled, so someone asked.

In response to everyone's questions, Luo Shi Huiliang did not answer, but lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "In this battle, what strategy do you have, let's listen to it, don't be restrained." ”

"Yes." Everyone immediately agreed, and after being deeply bowed by Yukan Kitahara, the eldest in the middle grade of the Satsuma wealthy clan, he solemnly walked up to Luo Shihuiliang, knelt on one leg, pointed to the map unfolded on the ground, and said: "Your Highness, we can hold on to the camp, the Shimazu family came this time, naturally hoping to defeat us as much as possible, as long as we can defend to the death, then the main force of the Shimazu family will inevitably be attracted here, then the rear of the Shimazu family will be vacant." ”

"Will it be vacated?"

"Yes. At that time, our army quietly sneaked behind the enemy and took the opportunity to seize the enemy's fortifications in the Zoe area. ”

"Capture the Zoe area in the enemy's rear......" Roche Keiraa muttered.

"Yes. As long as we take the Zoe area, when the time comes, Shimazu's main force in front of our battalion will lose its rear route, and logistics will not be guaranteed, and we will definitely be able to win a big victory. Ling Jiao Chongming also said at this time.

"What do you think?" Luo Shi Huiliang turned his head at this time and looked at Jia Fei, who had not spoken all this time, and asked directly.

"This plan works!" Kai himself agreed to the plan.

"In that case, let's do as it is. Let's discuss the specific arrangements. After pondering again, Luo Huiliang finally agreed to this plan.

Thus, the meeting continued. However, the subsequent deliberations always revolved around luring the Shimazu family near the camp and how to secretly send people to infiltrate the Zoe area, and of course, if the enemy did not take the bait, it had to be reconsidered. When night falls, the meeting is almost over, and the congregation will go back to their tents.

In the camp of the Shimazu family's army, after learning the news of the Luo family's departure and stationing in the Magen area, Shimazu Yoshihisa, as the main general this time, also hurriedly called the generals together to discuss the military situation. There were many large candles lit in the tent, and it was so hot that when I walked in, it was as if I had followed the steam room. Everyone's faces were shining.

"So, what does the lord mean that he has to fight to the death no matter what?" Facing Shimazu Yoshihisa, it was the chief family old Ijiin Tadaro who hesitated to speak.

"Yes, my father had already expected that as long as the family was stationed in the North Satsuma region, then the Luo family would intervene sooner or later, not to mention that the second brother who was the envoy would be put under house arrest. My father had already made it clear before he went out to fight, if he encountered the Luo family, then he had to fight to the death! Shimazu Yoshihisa nodded and said. Although he had expected it in his heart, when he really learned the news of the Luo family's battle, he also felt a sense of oppression.

"In that case, let's discuss how to fight against the Luo family and those wealthy clans in Northern Satsuma."

As a result, the Shimazu family also urgently held a round of military meetings overnight.

On the second day, the military reports of the allied forces of the Luo family and the Northern Satsuma Hao clan finally came one after another, and the military deployment of the other party had begun to emerge.

"It seems that the other party is planning to defend the camp!" After reading the information, Shimazu Yoshihisa said with a frown.

"Then the family will have to attack according to the second plan discussed last night. Otherwise, the family will have to take a detour, and in this way, the Zoe area in the rear left will be threatened by the other party. Ijiin Tadaro said.

"In that case, let's strike."

So, on the afternoon of the 20th, the Shimazu family finally attacked. The first force was a thousand cavalry led by Shimazu Yoshihisa's third brother, Shimazu Suihisa. The second group consisted of 3,000 men led by Tadaro Ijiin and Tadanaga Shimazu. The third group was 3,000 people led by Yingwa Kuhu and Uehara Naokin. The fourth group consisted of 2,000 men led by Kawakami Tadahisa and Kayama Tadasuke. The fifth group consisted of 2,000 men led by the brothers Xinna Zhongyuan and Xinna Zhongyao. Shimazu Yoshihisa was the general of the Shimazu family's army. This is the first time that the Shimazu family has confronted the Luo family's military strength, so all the generals of the Shimazu family are cautious, after all, the Luo family's military strength is too prestigious in the Kyushu region. But more people hope to defeat the Luo family's army head-on, so that the world will officially know the prestige of the Shimazu family's army.

As Shimazu Yoshihisa's fourth brother, Shimazu Iehisa also happened to be with the army this time, and he very much wanted to participate in this decisive battle, but he was left behind Zoe by Shimazu Yoshihisa. As for the second brother Shimazu Yoshihiro, Shimazu Yoshihisa also sent someone back to the rear Shimizu Castle cell with the news of the Luo family's official departure from southern Kyushu, I don't know how the second brother felt after getting the news?
