After being forced to hand over half of the Otsuchi County to the Luo family to get the promise of a ceasefire in the Luo family, Kono Toshinarok obviously would not be willing to do so. () So in addition to sending important officials in his family to invite the Ono family in the central region of the Iyu Kingdom and the Utsumiya family to jointly resist the invasion of the Luo family, he also secretly sent people from the eastern region of the Iyu Kingdom and the Miyo family in the Yu Kingdom to the Miyo family in the Hokki country and the Maori family in the Beihou country from the eastern region of the Iyu Kingdom through the Suitan coast.

For the Maori family, since they are already an ally of the Kono family, Kono Nao naturally hopes to get assistance from the Maori family to deal with the Luo family together. For the Miyo family, Kono Nao is preparing to establish diplomatic relations with them. It is best to be an ally, so that they can use the powerful Daimyo Miyo family that has also risen recently to deal with the Luo family. Of course, he is also afraid that he will lead the wolf into the house because of this (historically, the Kono family has indeed been invaded by the Miyo family), so he must also be vigilant about the Miyo family.

Just as Tono Nao Kono was secretly preparing to join forces to resist the invasion of the Luo family, Shituji Minatsu, the governor of the Xituji family in Yiyu Kingdom, was also worried at this time.

Previously, when the Luo family began to attack the Ouchi family's territory and the Kono family invaded the northern part of the Iyu Kingdom after the end of the Battle of Itsuki, they requested the Nishitoji family to send troops to face the central part of the Kono family from the south to achieve the goal of restraining the Kono family.

Regarding the Luo family's request, after collecting the money and grain from the Luo family, Mitsumasa Shituji did send troops to enter the territory of the Kono family in the central part of the Iyu Kingdom to make trouble, but overall, the thunder and rainfall were loud, so the Luo family naturally had an objection to this. In the end, he even sent an envoy to remind him.

In this regard, Shituji Minashi had to try to analyze and deal with it. But secretly, Shituji Minashi Minashi still ordered his own military force to behave. After all, the Shituji Minashi family's military force was about to enter the territory of the Kono family, and actually had to pass through the territory of the Ono family and the Utsunomiya family. These two families have been in conflict with the Shituji Minashi family in recent years, especially the Utsunomiya family. Shituji Minashi's legitimate son, Shituji Minashi Gongtaka, died at the hands of this family, and many relatives of this family died at the hands of the Shituji Army. The two families are enemies who will never stop.

Under such circumstances, if the Utsunomiya family and the Ono family unite to block the Nishituji family's military force from the Kono family's territory, then the Nishituji family's army will suffer. If something goes wrong, he really doesn't know who to cry to him.

In addition, in addition to trying to get involved in the territory of the Shituji family, Tosaku, located south of the Shituji family, it is also an ally with the Utsumiya family, the mortal enemy of the Shituji family. In this case, Shituji Shituji Shima was naturally more careful.

But now Nishitoji Minami has received another news and learned that the Luo family had basically completed the strategy in the Xiguo area. In fact, this rumor was deliberately sent by Masayoshi to spread. After all, with the continuous spread of some of the warriors and peasants who were lucky enough to escape from the Battle of Yidao, the surrounding forces must know the situation in the Xiguo at this time sooner or later, in order to avoid these forces coming over like hungry wolfs that smelled blood. Masayoshi simply sent someone to spread the rumors that the Luo family had completely guided the territory of the Xiguo country, so that the surrounding forces would not dare to move.

As the news spread, after learning about this, Shituji Minami Shima was naturally nervous. After all, he was really inauthentic in this campaign against the Kono family. At this time, the Shituji family had to rely on the Luo family to support him behind him to safely confront the Utsunomiya family, the Ono family, and the south. If the Luo family blamed the Shituji family for this, or even abandoned the alliance and took action against the Shituji family, the Situji family's situation would be dangerous.

Faced with such a situation, Shituji Shishi immediately found several important officials from his family to discuss.

"Lord, since that's the case, then the ministers will personally bring valuable gifts to the Luo family for their excuse of congratulating the victory in the Western Kingdom. Let's go to the Luo family for their test." After learning about the doubts of the lord Shituji Shima, the important minister in the family, Toju Qingzong, spoke.

"Then I'll ask you, Qingzong." Xituji Shikan immediately agreed to the request of the Tuju Qingzong.

So, with the entrustment of his lord Shitu Temple Shichong, Toju Qingzong went to Yamaguchi Castle in Zhoufang, Xiguo, to ask for a meeting with Masayora there. As soon as we met, Toju Qingzong represented Shichong Shichong and the Xitu Temple family, who were alleged to Masayora to apologize to Masayora:

"The foreign minister begged Lord Wuxing to forgive my family's previous negligence, and the foreign minister is willing to apologize for his death."

"Haha, you have filtered it. You can understand the situation of Major General Zuo (Shiyuanji Shisunji Shisun). It is rare to be able to restrain part of the military power of the Kono family under such circumstances." Masarara said with a very tolerant smile, while muttering in her heart that the old guy in front of him was indeed a bit cunning. He actually blocked his chance to blame him from the beginning, took the initiative to bear the blame, and forced him to die. If he really let this old guy die, it would affect the relationship between the Luo family and the Xituji family, and then affect Masarara's next plan. However, even so, Masarara did not intend to let the Xituji family go, so he continued:

"Since Major General Zuo is so willing to share the pressure for our family, I also have a letter here. Please pass it to Major General Zuo on his behalf. In addition, I heard that there is a grandson in your family who is very smart. I intend to take it as a small surname around you. I wonder what you want?"

After hearing this, Tuju Qingzong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly. It seemed that the price he should pay was still to pay. However, at least from the words of the young overlord in front of him, we can clearly know that the Xituji family escaped this time, but the secret letter that was to be handed over to the lord Xituji Shichin was probably not a good thing, but everything was to be found out after going back and letting the lord open it and check it.
