Warring States Eagle

"Your Highness Zheng Liang, Ichito Shenglong grew up in a temple. He is knowledgeable and has contacts with many people in Kyoto. He will definitely help His Highness in the future." Seeing Zheng Liang's silence, Xuan Zhi immediately continued.This time, after all, it was his good friend who decided to become an official, and of course he would try his best to help him fulfill his wish.

"Hehe, please don't worry, master. I'm just a little flattered by Xuanzhi." After Xuanzhi said this, Zhengliang finally woke up from his contemplation, and said quickly, "Then, please tell my lord that my family solemnly accepts his appointment." Although the shogunate Gradually losing power, but the necessary status is still required.The arrival of Yiyi Shenglong just brought help to the issue of Hou Zhengliang's status.

"Then, please Your Highness," Master Xuanzhi said solemnly after receiving Zhengliang's reply.

"Then, master, can you tell me about the second matter?" Zheng Liang said.

"Since His Highness agreed to the first thing so readily, then His Highness will definitely agree to the second entrustment," Xuan Zhi said.

Zhengliang nodded, motioning for Xuanzhi to continue.

"A friend of the poor monk came here to visit the poor monk some time ago, and now he is planning to leave, but he is trapped here due to the laws of His Highness's territory. I hope His Highness can let him go," said Master Xuanzhi.

"This?" Zheng Liang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Master, please forgive me! If I take the lead in breaking the law, how will my servants treat this matter?"

"Your Highness, please be more accommodating," Xuan Zhi said earnestly.

"Master, what do you think of this?" Zheng Liang frowned, "It's better to let the subordinates find out. If the friend of the master is not harmful to our family, then I would like to treat the master with the courtesy of the master." The border policy of the territory is blocked, on the one hand, to prevent the leakage of territorial secrets.On the other hand, it is also to stabilize the territory that has just been occupied. Of course, Zheng Liang will not allow people to come in and out at will.

"Then, please Your Highness." Xuanzhi knew that this was Zhengliang's biggest concession.

After discussing with Xuanzhi the time for the two people he recommended to visit Zhengliang, Zhengliang personally sent the master out of the gate of the meeting hall.This master really came and went in a hurry. After bidding farewell to Zhengliang, he will leave the Luo family's territory directly, then rush to Hakata Bay, and finally set off for Kyoto from there.As for the matter of his friend, it seemed that Zheng Liang would definitely release him, so he didn't mention a word.

"Send someone to check the details of the master's friend immediately," Masaragi ordered to Akabane Shinnosuke after sending Xuanzhi away.As a retainer who followed Zhengliang, after receiving Zhengliang's authorization.It has the right to temporarily call the detectives or even the Black Hawk.

Akabane Shinnosuke was ordered to leave immediately.

afternoon.Akabane Nobunosuke has already found out, and immediately rushed to the lord's mansion of Kishidake City to report to Masara.

"Kakukuma Ishimune from Otomo's house?" Masara exclaimed after receiving the report from Akabane Shinnosuke.Today really gave him too many surprises.He never expected that this time the Luo family's blockade policy after the reversal of Bodo's war would catch so many big fish all at once.

Big fish, this one is really a big fish.Who is Ishimune Kakukuma?That's the military advisor of Otomo Zonglin, the No. 20 generation patriarch of Otomo's family in the future.Otomo Zonglin was assisted by Kakukuma Ishimune.Only then became stronger and stronger, and even almost dominated Kyushu.It was also Otomo Zonglin who did not listen to Kakukuma Ishimune's advice and launched a war against the Shimadzu family. In the end, he was defeated in Otomo, leading to the decline of Otomo's family.

Counting the time now, Otomo Zonglin is still only a ten-year-old child, and has not yet inherited the family governor, and the master is also Tian Danhou who keeps relatives and sincerity.Kakukuma Ishimune also gradually entered the ranks of important officials of Otomo's family after Tian Danhou Shouqincheng was killed by Otomo Zonglin.at the same time.Thunder God Tachibana Doxue has not worshiped Kakukuma Ishimune as his master at this moment.More importantly, Kakukuma Ishimune at this time is nothing more than a dispensable retainer under Otomo Yoshikam's command.

Since it is a big fish, of course it cannot be let go. Thinking of this, Masara immediately ordered Kakukuma Ishimune to be invited.

Soon the guests were brought in.

"Otomo's Kakukuma Ishimune has met His Highness." The moment he was invited by the Luo family, Kakukuma Ishimune knew that his identity had been exposed, so he reported his family directly as soon as they met.

"Hehe. I didn't expect to meet Kakukuma-sama here." Masara said with a slight smile.

"His Royal Highness's reputation has long been heard throughout Hizen, and the foreign ministers are also very admired. When I saw it today, I was even more surprised," Kakukuma Ishimune replied.

"Oh? Why are you surprised?" Zheng Liang asked, taking over the topic.

"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid His Highness has just taken Yuanfu not long ago?" Kakukuma Ishimune asked.

"Hehe" Zheng Liang nodded noncommittally.During the Warring States Period, people who were over eight years old would be treated as adults.Therefore, it is not unusual to become the head of the family in the form of Zhengliang [-]th.

"When the ministers first arrived in Karatsu, they heard His Highness's title of 'Eagle of Matsuura'. At one time, they thought His Highness should be a battle-tested veteran. Now, it seems that His Highness is really a young hero." Kakukuma Ishi Zong sighed.

"Oh? How is it compared to Lord Chikuzen?" Masara asked.In order to cause conflicts between the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family, and to check and balance the Ouchi family's growing power, the shogunate deliberately appointed Ouchi Zonglin, who was only four years old, as the guardian of Chikuqian.So at this time, many people directly called Otomo Zonglin the Guardian of Chikuqian.As long as there are two intentions in this question asked by Masamune, one is to confirm whether Ishimune Kakukuma is indeed a master of strategy, and if so, he will definitely understand Masara's intentions; Whether he is loyal to Otomo Zonglin, because in history, Kakukuma Ishimune resolutely burned the secret book that condensed his lifelong learning and painstaking efforts after he failed to persuade Otomo Zonglin not to send troops before the Battle of Erchuan.Then he decided to join the battle. Although it was very likely that he would be defeated and die, he had already made up his mind to die and proved his loyalty with blood.In the end, in the Battle of Erchuan, he led several brave soldiers into the enemy line, and finally died in battle, proving his loyalty to Otomo Zonglin with his own sacrifice.

"Your Highness, I'm just a foreign minister, how can I talk about His Highness Shintaro at will?" Kakukuma Ishimune said with a smile.

"Then, what does Kakukuma-sama think about the battle at Kishidake Castle?" Masara continued to ask.

"The foreign minister once heard some rumors about this battle after the fact. Your Highness was put to death in this battle and survived." Tsukuma Ishimune said with emotion, "After the sneak attack was successful, he was besieged by enemy troops several times his own. Then he cleverly used the method of misleading, secretly gathering troops for counterattack, even more so, gathering thousands of troops in one day, and caught Bodo by surprise. Such feats are really what Phil thought.". . )
