Chapter 632: Burning Hakata
Yes, the military force of the Luo family appeared in the west of Hakata at this time. Something happened to the Harada family, who was responsible for protecting this direction.
After receiving the order from Masara, Akaba Nobusuke in Mise Castle immediately led the second standing football team to cross the North Shinsan Mise Izumi Castle to move towards Iimoshi Castle in the Harada family in Yitoshi County, Tsubaki. At the same time, Aguda was the main general, Watanabe Toru, and Kamiyoshi Seungri were the deputy generals, and the fifth standing football team also took off from Fukago Castle and advanced to the Harada family in the Harada family in Shima County, Shinmaki. Murakami, Sun Goro as the main general, Oya Nobuki Hiroki, and Uetsuura Asuka Asuka as the deputy generals, the first standing water team invaded the coast of the Harada family to support the attacks of two armies on land.
In an instant, the original situation of the Luo family preventing the Danui family from attacking changed to the Luo family's main attacker, while the Danui family defended. Seeing that the situation on Sugitsuki's side was unfavorable, Naito Yoshimori had to temporarily transfer the Danui family's army stationed in the Harada family, and then only left the Harada family's own military force to defend the territory.
Yes, if the Harada family defended their territory, the Luo family's military power would indeed not be able to continue to go deeper into the Hakata area. However, Akaba Nobusuke used a divisive strategy and directly instigated the fourth son of the Harada family, Harada Hoshimen, to assassinate his third brother Harada Hoshi and defect to the Luo family.
Harada Tengge had four sons in total. The ones who were born in the Masashimi were the legitimate son Harada Yoshige, the second son Harada Satozuki, and the other son Harada Satozuki, the third son Harada Thune and the fourth son Harada Semen. The legitimate son was before the Otomo family invaded Hime in the 12th year of Astronomy, and when the Danai family army led by Sugi Yoshimi fled, he happened to run into the Luo family army who was rushing to the battlefield and was killed by Masara. This son also died in the chaos in that battle. It can be said that Harada Tengge lost two legitimate sons in an instant.
So the family business can only be inherited by the remaining two illegitimate sons and are not the same mother's sons, and the third son is naturally the first heir. However, the fourth son has always been worried about his third brother's inheritance of the family business. However, due to the grand suppression of his father Harada, he has never shown it. On the surface, he even pretended to be illusion of copying his brother's inheritance of the family business. He was about to be sent to Zhou Fang to become a
A small servant next to Yoshitaka Ouchi completely lost the opportunity to inherit the governor. At this time, the Luo family took the initiative to find the fourth son, Harada Semen. After showing the head of Harada Tengjin, who was trampled to death by the rioters at the foot of Gaoliang Mountain, he immediately defected to the Luo family and murdered his brother Harada Hoshi and his confidants with the help of the Luo family. At the same time, the supervisory samurai who left Naito Yoshimori in the Harada family was also massacred and completely mastered the Harada family.
But before Harada Seimen celebrated his ascension to the position of the governor of the family, he and his confidants were slaughtered by Akaba Nobunosuke using thunderous means. Akaba Nobunosuke knew the hatred between the governor of the family Masaru and the Harada family, so after completely controlling the territory of the Harada family, he then started a massacre of the male members of the entire Harada family, leaving only the female family waiting for Masaru to fall.
After dealing with all this, Akaba Nobusuke ordered the navy to go to Hakata Bay, and on the other hand, he personally led the second and fifth two standing light teams to head from the west to Hakata. So Naito Yoshimori saw the advance of the Luo family army. With the military force of Akaba Nobusuke, Hakata was surrounded by the Luo family on three sides, and the only thing that was not surrounded was the direction of Hakata Bay to go to sea. However, at this time, the Son-Shi Naito-Shi Nai was also confronting the Luo family navy that had just arrived.
"Is there still no movement in the direction of Iki Island?" Seeing the army besieging the city, Naito Yoshimori immediately thought of the Hodo naval army of Iki Island that had been in contact with. In this guide to the Luo family, the Hodo family also made a lot of efforts. First, he used the detailed work of ambushing the Luo family to know in advance that Masara was preparing to attack the city of Takeda, thus setting up an ambush for Masara. In addition, according to the agreement, the Hodo family's naval army will also come to help. However, Naito Yoshimori has not seen the shadow of a Hodo family's naval ship.
"Sir, there has not been any news from it yet." The retainer behind him immediately replied. His voice seemed a little timid at this time. Seeing that the Luo family was in large numbers outside the city of Hakata, the defenders of the Daou family in Hakata were weak. Moreover, Hakata was originally a place of trade and the city walls were relatively low, it was obviously impossible to stand the fierce attack of the Luo family army. Although he didn't understand why the Luo family had not launched an attack for a long time, he was already timid.
Masayoshi did not launch an attack on Hakata immediately, which naturally had a purpose. First, he intended to show off his power outside the city, so that the forces in the Hakata area could see the power of the Luo family, which would help the Luo family manage Hakata in the future. Secondly, since Hakata is the commercial and economic capital of Kyushu, he learned from the temple forces that in addition to the large amount of materials left by other forces in Hakata, there were also a large number of materials that were secretly transported there to deal with the Luo family. Masayoshi naturally hoped to grab these materials.
However, Masara underestimated Naito Yoshimori's determination. Just as he was considering how to conquer Hakata, Naito Yoshimori decisively issued an order to evacuate Hakata.
"Ah? Sir, this matter is probably inappropriate." When the retreat order was issued, Hiromori Naito also issued an order to burn Hakata. As soon as this order was issued, it immediately surprised all the retainers. Although everyone knew that this was a decision made by the adults to delay the pursuit of the Luo family by the Luo family and did not want to leave the materials that could not be taken away in a hurry to the Luo family, but after this burning, not only did the materials of his own, but also burned the materials that other forces left in Hakata, which was left to other forces in Hakata, which offended these forces to death, not only made it easier for the Luo family to accept Hakata, but also added many enemies to the inner family.
"I have decided, and there is no need to say much. I will bear all the blame. I will send the sacred naval army at the mouth of the sea to defend the sea route and send a ship to pick me up. You can go down and execute it immediately." Naito Yoshimori decided finally.
"This damn Naito Xingsheng!" When Hakata suddenly raised thick smoke, he rushed back to the Daying Masaruto immediately thought of Naito Xingsheng's plan. He had never expected Naito Xingsheng to be so decisive, and he was almost angry.
"Lord, will the army of our family enter Hakata immediately and pursue it? The other party must have boarded the ship from the port and fled." Yoshida Shigemasa, beside him, immediately asked.
"Hmph, there is no need to attack, let everyone continue to be stationed locally." Masara snorted coldly and decided to say. Perhaps Naito Yoshimori wanted the Luo family to pursue Hakata. Although such pursuit could kill and capture some of the soldiers of the Danai family, the soldiers of the Luo family would also suffer losses in the fight and the fire. At the same time, Naito Yoshimori blamed some of the crimes of burning Hakata to the Luo family (spreading rumors and accusing the Luo family of the Luo family that entered Hakata also participated in the setting fire), so that the Luo family could share the hatred value.
Moreover, burning Hakata into a white land, although a lot of materials was lost, it would be beneficial to the Luo family's complete control of the Hakata area in the future. If Hakata was intact, when the fleeing forces returned to Hakata, Hakata would be a place where fish and dragons were mixed. Now, the Hakata that was burned to a white land was naturally re-established by the Luo family. At that time, all the rules inside would naturally be controlled by the Luo family, and the Luo family had the final say on which forces could enter. So after weighing the pros and cons, Masayoshi naturally chose to remain silent.
"But, lord, what should I do if the forces that are also watching nearby ask our family to enter Hakata to pursue?" After Masarara decided to hold on, Yoshida Shigemasa continued to ask immediately.
"Just say that I am not in the camp and without my own warrant, my army will not be able to move rashly. As for other forces who plan to enter Hakata, let them enter." If you want the Luo family to be cannon fodder, there is no door. If you want to save your own supplies, let these forces save them by themselves. It would be strange if you don't burn them to death. Zheng Lian murmured in his heart.
Yoshida Shigemasa looked at the main flag of the family, which represented the governor of the family next to Masarara, but he thought to himself: Damn, isn't the lord talking lies with his eyes open? The main flag is here, but he says it's strange if he doesn't exist. It's just that with the current strength of the family, even if he doesn't exist, what can they say?
