Warring States Eagle

Winter of Tianwen 22.

In a wooden house in a yard outside Yueshan Tomita City in the Izumo Kingdom of the Western Country, the Luo family stayed at Nizi's house as hostages in the allied government, Duanmu Qingzheng, who had just thrown a letter into the firepit of the wooden house.

"Presumably at this time, the lord has already started fighting against Bungo and Bungzen countries? It's really the lord's style, always going out when others don't expect it. It's just about the Nizi family, but it's really confusing. " Duanmu Qingzheng frowned and said to himself as he looked at the letter written by Zheng Liang who was gradually being burned to ashes in the fire pit.

In fact, since September this year, some rumors about the Nizi family's Shingu Party began to circulate around Gassan Tomita Castle.The so-called Xingong party refers to the Nizi family's elite troops commanded by Nizi Qingjiu's uncle Nizi Guojiu and his sons Nizi Chengjiu, Nizi Fengjiu, and Nizi Jingjiu.Because Nizi Kunihisa lived in Xingong Valley in the north of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, Nizi's main city, it was called Xingong Party.This powerful army is the biggest reliance of Nizi's family to attack the city and land.

The rumors that have been circulating around Gassan Tomita Castle in the recent period are aimed at the Niko family Shingu party. The main content of the rumors is that Niko Kunihisa and his son secretly colluded with the Yoshikawa family at the junction of Ayi Kingdom and Izumo Kingdom. In an attempt to unite the Maori family and the Yoshikawa family to seize the position of the clan.Under normal circumstances, when people hear such rumors, they will naturally not believe it.

However, with the increasing meritorious deeds, Nizi Guojiu and his son became more and more arrogant, and gradually lost the courtesy of Nizi Qingjiu as a minister.In Duanmu Qingzheng's view, Nizi Qingjiu, who is the governor of the clan, should have started to fear Nizi Guojiu and his son, and now these rumors are added.It is hard to guarantee that Nizi Haruhisa will not have doubts about Nizi Kunijiu and his son.So these rumors are obviously deliberately fabricated rumors aimed at the current situation of Nizi's family.It has the purpose of causing chaos in Nizi's house.

Look at it from an ally's point of view.Duanmu Qingzheng naturally didn't want Nizi's family to fall into civil strife, so after realizing that these rumors were wrong, he immediately wrote the rumors and his own judgment into a letter, and ordered someone to rush it back to Zhengliang in Kyushu.

Zhengliang received the letter from Kiyomasa Duanmu before he officially went to the Bungo and Bungzen Kingdoms.As soon as he saw the content of the rumors, Zhengliang knew that it was Motozuru Mori's handwriting, and his purpose was to use the hands of Nizi Haruhisa to eliminate the Xingong Party, which he saw as the biggest threat to Nizi's family.And historically, Nizi Haruhisa really obediently eliminated the Shingu party next year according to Mori Motozuru's idea.

As for the conspiracy of Maori Yuanzuo, it was just as Duanmuqing said in his letter.As long as you tell Nizi Qingjiu the purpose of this rumored conspiracy, perhaps the destruction of Nizi's Xingong Party can be avoided.But this is only temporarily avoided. The conflict between Nizi Guojiu and his son and Nizi Qingjiu will conflict again sooner or later, unless one of them is willing to take the initiative to compromise.

Moreover, from the perspective of a third party, the collapse of the Nizi family's Xingong party is beneficial to both the Maori family and the Luo family.If the Xingong Party of the Nizi family is really preserved, then with the current family background of the Nizi family, it is really possible to become a giant.Although the Luo family and the Nizi family are allies now.But these so-called allies are nothing more than allies between interests, once the two parties do not have the same interests.Then the Luo family will face a battle with the Nizi family.So Zhengliang naturally didn't want Nizi's family to expand.Anyway, even if the Xingong Party is destroyed, the Nizi family can still spend a long time with the Maori family.When the Nizi's family and the Maoli's family were fighting to lose both, the Luo's family happened to be a fisherman who reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Zheng Liang wrote back to ask Duanmu Qingzheng to wait and see what happened, and not to do anything, as long as he reported back the situation of Nizi's family in time.However, Zhengliang's order made Duanmu Qingzheng, who was about to speak out to remind Nizi Qingjiu, into confusion.Of course, no matter how confused, Duanmu Qingzheng faithfully carried out Zhengliang's orders.

In fact, Mao Liyuan didn't just carry out conspiracy against Nizi's family during this period of time.He also set his sights on Tao Longfang, who was entangled with Iwami Kunijimi's family.This time Mao Liyuan's goal is Jiang Liangfangrong, Tao Longfang's right-hand man.

Tao Longfang was not the one who rebelled against Ouchi Yoshitaka back then, as the chief of the Ouchi Arbitrary Sect, he also had his own personal forces, the most powerful of which were Jiang Liangfang Rong and Hong Zhonglong Bao , are all famous generals known for their wisdom and bravery.Especially Jiang Liangfang Rong, who is good at calculating and has a vision of the overall situation.Since he had dealt with Mao Liyuan many times before, Jiang Liangfang Rong knew the inside story of the Mao Li family, so he suggested to Tao Longfang many times during this period, telling Tao Longfang that the main attack direction of the family should not be neglected at this time. In the country of Shi Jian, it should be placed in the country of An Yun. In addition, we must try our best to manage Yan Island well, win over the local wealthy families and pirates, and don't let them turn to the Maori family.It is a pity that due to the issue of territorial distribution after the war, Jiang Liangfangrong had argued with Tao Longfang, and Tao Longfang was still angry about it at this time, so there was no suggestion from Torie Liangfangrong.

Jiang Liangfangrong's suggestion was learned by the secret work of the Maoli family lurking beside Tao Longfang, and it was passed back to the ears of Maoli Yuanjiu of An Yiguo.This immediately made Mao Liyuan want to kill Jiang Liangfang Rong.

So in the same way as dealing with Nizi's family, Mao Liyuan sent people to infiltrate around the Yamaguchi Ouchi Hall to spread rumors, saying that "Jiang Liang's family is trying to respond to Mao Liyuan."

Tao Longfang is indeed a talent in military affairs, but he is very poor in internal affairs strategy.Such a simple rumor immediately caught his attention.Probably Tao Longfang himself was a rebel, and over a long period of time, everyone has a "reversed" suspicion and suspicion. If I go to Yandao, do you want to give me to Mao Liyuan?”

So this year, when Luo's family aggressively expanded the areas that were not included in the territory of Bungqian and Bungo, Tao Longfang also forged Jiang Liangfangrong's injustice case with his own hands.After hearing the rumors, he murdered Jiang Liang's family without serious investigation. Jiang Liang Fang Rong's brother Jiang Liang Xianxuan and his son Yanjiro were killed. Jiang Liang Fang Rong himself was also killed by Tao in the Amber Temple in Iwakuni near Itsukushima. Another confidant of Longfang, Hongzhong Longbao, was assassinated.

In fact, this incident dealt a great blow to the Tao family. You must know that Jiang Liang Fangrong had been in charge of offensive and defensive affairs in the Yandao area before. Fang felt resentful, and in the wartime in the future, they all invested in Mori Motojiu. More importantly, Tao Longfang actually self-destructed one eye facing the Itsukushima battle. In the subsequent Itsukushima battle, Tao Jun was almost blind and deaf in the local area, and he was passively beaten everywhere, and the consequences were very bad.This is also one of the reasons for the outcome of the Itsukushima water battle in the future.

After the Jiangliang clan responsible for the offensive and defensive affairs in the Itsukushima area was destroyed, Mao Liyuan immediately began to implement his strategy of dividing and encroaching on the Itsukushima area.While Tao Longfang was still fighting fiercely with Yoshimi Masarai in Ishimi Country, Mao Liyuan was holding a knife, cutting the flesh of Itsukushima: Under the intimidation and lure of the Maoli family, the God of Itsukushima led the crowd When a split occurred, the Shishido family, the Sakano family, and the Ohno family continued to be loyal to Tao Fang, while those headed by the Kihi family, the Nisato family, and the Itoga family happily had an affair with Motoga, and became the glorious " Leading the way party".In history, the most famous Itsukushima bloody battle is slowly beginning to kick off.

Regarding the situation of Zhou Fangguo and An Yiguo, the Luo family also stepped up surveillance, so when the extermination of Jiang Liang's clan happened, Zheng Liang, who was already on the way to the expedition, naturally received the news immediately.Aside from being surprised, Zhengliang became anxious about the progress of the Bungzen and Bungo Kingdom's raids this time.Depending on the situation, the Itsukushima bloody battle is about to happen according to the historical trajectory. Since the opportunity to remind Tao Longfang has been missed, it is better to be a fisherman.But to be a fisherman, you must get out of this strategy as soon as possible. (To be continued..)
