In mid-March of the 12th year of Yonglu (1569), the sky above Japan, which was turbulent, was once again shrouded in dark clouds of war.

At the beginning of this year, in order to unify Kitakyushu, Otomo Sorin, the overlord of Kyushu, launched an attack on the Ryushu family, which had been colluding with the Mori family, and surrounded Saya Castle. Ryushu Takanobu himself was unable to resist and could only ask for reinforcements from Mori. Maori Moto, who had been committed to the Kyushu strategy in recent days, was very aware that this was a big deal and did not dare to neglect. He personally led 40,000 troops to Kitakyushu for reinforcements. Yoshikawa Motoku, Kobayawa Takake, Fukuhara Satoshi, Kumayaya Nobunaga, Yoshimi Masara and other important officials all joined the army, which can be said to be the strongest lineup of the Mori family. After the Maori army landed in front of the tide, it immediately surrounded Tachihayama Castle on Otomo's side.

Seeing that Mori Moto came to the entire army, Otomo Sorin gathered troops again in the leadership. The Mori family and the Otomo family were both Daimi with a total height of more than 1.1 million stones, but the Otomo family had the advantage of local combat, making it more convenient to mobilize troops. Including the alliances such as the Asu family and the vassals, the total number of Otomo army was close to 50,000. Otomo Sorin relied on his superior forces to force Takanobu Ryuzoji to negotiate peace with him, and then turned to Chiqian, intending to fight the main force of the Mori family.

At the same time, the island of Shikoku is not peaceful. Miyoshi Nagaki and Awa countries gather a large number of troops, obviously needing to make big moves. Miyoshi's family is fighting with the Akamatsu family, Oda family and Nagazome's family. The Ikeda Rebellion of the Ikezoic country was completely suppressed at the beginning of the year, and the army of the Kazuzoic country is now turning to the Kazuma area. Nagazo's Motomi also had no choice but to take the main force of the Sanyoshi family, and had retreated back to Tosa in shame before the spring plowing. Kishiwata Castle and Takaya Castle's head army were also very active after the spring plowing, and were constantly rubbing with the garrison troops of the Yuqiu family.

Whether it is the Akamatsu family in the Homo country, the Nagazomomo family in the Tosa country, or Yuqiuhei in Kazui, Hanoi, they are all in a panic, fearing that the army of the Miyo family on Shikoku Island will come directly to attack him. Yuqiuhei specially requested reinforcements from Oda Nobunaga. After a winter of renovation, the Oda family has restored its combat capabilities. Shibata Katsue, Sakuma Nobumo, and Morike in Chengdu have gathered troops and are ready to reinforce Yuqiuhei at any time. Oda Nobunaga himself is also in Ohara and Mino began to recruit militias in advance. If the Miyo family really comes, Oda Nobunaga will also come to Kyoto again and compete with Miyo Nagaki again.

Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere day by day, and none of the forces involved dared to take it lightly. On May 1, Anzai Dongyao's navy arrived at the port of Sanqi and Awa countries, and a large number of Sanhao troops began to board the ship. After Yu Qiuhei learned the news from the Seizai of the Military Information Department, he immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly sent a request for help to Oda Nobunaga. The Akamatsu family of the Matsu country was already beaten by the Sanhao family of the Seizu country, and was also worried at this moment. The heart of Nagazo, my group of the Motoki family, finally let go of the Mihao family, boarding the ship, means that the target is no longer his Tosa.

However, to everyone's surprise, after boarding the ship, the army of the Miyo family drove straight to the west and landed in the Iyu country at the northwest end of Shikoku Island. The wealthy families of the Iyu country were caught off guard and before they could react, Lumori Castle was surrounded by the Miyo family's army. Miyoshi Yoshigen claimed that the current governor of the Kono family, Tononako Kono, relied on conspiracy to seize the position of the next governor, and placed a house arrest on the former governor of the Miyo family. The trip to the Miyo family was because of receiving a secret letter from Kono Tononako asking for the help of the Miyo family, and came to support the restoration of the Kono Tononako. Although Kononako immediately denied the rumors, saying that he had never written such a letter and voluntarily gave up the position of the family governor to Kono Tononako, the Miyo family ignored this.

There are many wealthy families in the territory of Shikoku Island, and the Kono family is just a nominal Kanto family and does not have that strong control over local affairs. The reason why Iyo country can stand together with the Miyo family and the Nagazomoto family on Shikoku Island is because they have strong backers behind them - the Mori family and the Otomo family.

However, the main forces of the Maori family and the Otomo family were all in Kyushu at this moment, and the people left behind were unable to support Iyu. The Kono family's head, Tomizu Kono, hurriedly sent someone to mediate the Maori family and the Otomo family, trying to get the two to return to rescue him. The Maori family immediately agreed, but the Otomo family refused. When they found something strange, Mori immediately sent his ninjas to investigate, and found that the Miyo family seemed to have formed an alliance with the Otomo family in secret. Otherwise, the Otomo family would have no reason and let the Miyo family attack his allies.

Under pressure, the Maori family had to seek a quick battle and decide so as to withdraw from the Kono family to rescue the Kono family and save the Mori family's fulcrum on Shikoku Island. However, the Maori family itself was slightly inferior to the Otomo family, and it was a away game, so it was particularly difficult to take the initiative. The two armies fought a bloody battle in Tadarahama, and the Mori family ended in failure.

However, the methods of the Miyoshi family and the Otomo family were one after another. A large part of the territory occupied by the Mori family were the land of the Otomo family in the past. And the Otomo family was in exile at the Otomo family. As early as last year when Ashikaga Yoshiei was still alive, the Otomo family had already contacted the Miyoshi family and applied for a letter of approval from the court and the shogunate to inherit the Otomo family. Seeing that the time was ripe, the Otomo family funded the Otomo family's troops, money and food, and asked him to return to the Zhou Fangguo and summon the remaining ministers of the Otomo family to revolt. Soon after, the army captured the main castle of the Zhou Fangguo. At the same time, the Miyoshi family also sponsored the Niko Yuki Yamaakaya to lead the Niko's retainer group to uprising, and led the Izumo country in the Maori family to make a plan to attack Tsukiyama Tomota Castle.

What Mori did not expect was the next move of the Miyo family. After Anzai Tomokashi's Awaji navy, after putting down the landing Miyo family troops, did not return to Awaji country, but continued westward to the Guanmen Strait between Kyushu Island and China, attacking the Mori family's transport fleet. The Mori family's naval army leader Ichikawa was caught off guard and was challenged by Anzai Tomokashi's fleet.

Seeing that the situation could no longer be cured, the helpless Maori Yuan had to order the withdrawal of his troops. Before leaving, he lit up all the lights in the camp. The Otomo family thought it was a fraud and dared not pursue it, so that the Maori family successfully withdrew under the cover of the navy. However, under the attack of the Miyoshi Navy and the Otomo Navy, it was already very difficult to cover the evacuation of the troops, so he had to abandon a large amount of supplies. When the Maori family retreated to China, they were unable to support the country because of too much loss of supplies.

After receiving the news that the Miyo family's army was advancing westward, Oda Nobunaga also made a quick decision and led a large army gathered in the Ono area to attack Ise. As early as two years ago, Takigawa Ichie had attacked Ise several times and subdued the Kobe clan, Nagano clan and other northern Ise tribes. Kobe clan and Nagano clan even had to welcome Oda Nobunaga's son Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobunaga's younger brother Oda Nobunaga as his heirs. Now, Oda Nobunaga's army's front is directed at Ise and Ise. Ise Kyotoriki Kanoku was not showing any weakness and personally took charge of Ohanoi Castle and prepared to resist Oda Nobunaga's attack.

Kawaizumi, which was about to become the center of the Kinki Storm, was calm because of the Oda family and the Miyo family's respective strategies. Yu Qiuhei breathed a sigh of relief. His new system had just been established, and if he was about to be baptized by military disasters, it would be a lot of danger. Now, the Miyo family's expedition to the Iyu country in the west will not be pacified in a few months, so he has bought him enough time.

On May 22, outside Ruojiang Castle, Yu Qiushan was practicing wrestling with Naoe Seimonmaru and Ii Tomatsu. Although Takamasato Shiyama was a scheming man, he did not put Yu Qiuyu under house arrest like Sakaimachi merchants. Instead, he gave Yu Qiushan a lot of free space. If Yu Qiushan was willing to go out to practice martial arts, then Takamasato Shiyama would send more than a dozen people to follow him, and even allowed Yu Qiu's family to send people to visit Yu Qiushan.

Yu Qiuhei and Imagawa Kaede were busy with official business, so they entrusted Ichinato to take Naoto Naoto Naoe Seimonmaru and Ichinatomatsu, two children who were usually able to play with Yu Qiushang, to see him. Ichimasa Suiyama didn't know where he got the news, so he immediately came to Yu Qiuhei and told Yu Qiuhei that he was willing to take on the escort task of the group. Yu Qiuhei couldn't resist him, so he sent him over.

At this moment, Shinji Aiyama was following Naoto Ii, trying hard to come up with some topics. However, Naoto Ii was not as serious and cold as before. Looking at her three children, a faint smile appeared on her face, which made Shinji Aiyama a little trance.

"Young Master is still so persistent." Naoto Ii looked at Yu Qiu Shang being thrown by Tu Song and Naoe Seimonmaru who were a few years younger than him, but he still continued to train tenaciously. He couldn't help but sigh: "A child like this will definitely have a promising future."

"Yes, it's not easy for him to be a young master." Aiyama Shiki-shi sighed helplessly, "If he hadn't had that hand incomplete, it would be even more amazing than it is now."

"Master Xueshan, this is not necessarily true." Naoto Jing Yi shook his head and said, "If there is no incompleteness, the young master may not have developed the quality of perseverance today." She said, while looking at Jing Yi Husong meaningfully, "Just like Husong, if he had not had a father since childhood, he would not have become sensible so soon."

Ii Naoto's words made Hitoyama Shikishi suddenly stunned for a moment and swallowed nervously.

Is this a hint to him to confess? Or is it just a heartless word!

Just when Xushan Xinshi was feeling uneasy, the dozen guards who were responsible for monitoring Yu Qiushang came over and whispered: "Master Xueshan, the time is almost over. Please take those two young masters back. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to do it."

"I understand, I won't cause you any trouble."

After Aiyama Shishi and Ii Naoto left with two children, Yu Qiushang still refused to go back, but wanted to continue training in the suburbs for a while. For this reason, he also asked a young surname from Takamasa Kazuya to be his partner. These guards were not worried about what a disabled child could do. As long as the Yu Qiu family members left, he would make trouble any matters. This little surname is not Hu Song. The children who grew up with Yu Qiushang were naturally not light or heavy when they attacked him, and they threw Yu Qiushang into dust in a few moments.

"Young Master Yuqiu, why are you doing this? Why do you have to practice this wrestling?" The young surname snorted coldly with disdain, "No matter how you practice one-armed person, you can't compare to normal people."

"When I fall, I will get up there." Yu Qiushang struggled to get up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and then put on his posture again, "I have lost all my dignity because of falling. I will take it back through my own efforts."

"It's useless, it's useless for no matter how long you practice." The young surname smiled contemptuously, "But if you deserve a beating, I'm happy to accompany you."

"What if I say it's useful?"
