"Mr. Tachibana asked, then I think that it is not advisable to leave Tachibana City at this moment. At present, the Kuroda Shimazu coalition has achieved a decisive victory in Erkawa. So I think that the next step is the time for the Ryuzoji family to appear, so you need to shock the opponent at this time. As for the Shimazu Kuroda coalition, although the Otomo family was defeated this time, it was only defeated, not completely eliminated. You only need to think that the troops who went out to defend the front line and at the same time rectify the defeated troops to defend the city. Compared to the other party, it is difficult for the other party to make a difference. With this period of breathing time, it is enough for the adults to defeat the Ryuzoji family. Without worries, all the strength can be mobilized to defeat the opponent."

Since the person facing him has changed from Otomo Sorin to Takayasumi, Masayuki Sanada spoke very carefully. Once there is any mistake, it is easy for the other party to notice the true intention of Takayama's family. After all, Takayasumi is also a samurai who is famous for his talent, so these words are in line with his usual style of doing things, that is, caution.

After hearing this, Tachibana Xue just nodded and then began to think. The Takayama family's Measurement Military Advisor. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Master Sanada, do you think Kuroda officers and soldiers do not want to join forces with Shimazu and Ryuzuoji to destroy Otomo, but..." He did not continue to say this, because he suddenly had a flash of inspiration for this idea, because if Kuroda wanted to fight to the death with Otomo, then with the help of the big victory of Oragawa, he should immediately go north without hesitation. In this way, no matter whether there is a declining force of the Ryuzuoji family, the declining force, it will be enough to achieve a decisive victory. But after this battle, Shimazu only took back his old leader and took some advantage. That's it?

Things are definitely not that simple. Will the Kuroda family’s target not Otomo at all, but...

Although Tachibana Xue did not explain, Sanada Masayuki immediately understood. "What Tachibana meant is that the Kuroda family's target is not Otomo at all, but Ryumaji?" When he said this, Sanada Masayuki also felt that this possibility was very high, because before coming to Kyushu, the lord had analyzed it with him, and it seemed that it was very likely that the lord had really guessed it.

After all, the Kuroda family is new and the military power is limited. If they have been helping the Shimazu family advance north, then with the strength of both sides, it is very likely that they will be a wedding dress for the Shimazu family in vain. Kuroda officers and soldiers are here to establish a foundation this time, so how can they not think about themselves? So it is very likely that the other party has set their sights on Nishi Kyushu.

"Well, I think it's very likely that with the character of Kuroda officer and man, I would never do such a thing that would give up halfway, so I guess I'll just fight in the battle. However, if this is true, then the Otomo family will have a chance to breathe. Oh, it's a pity that I'm going to have to return to the three families' strong situation."

Didaki Tachibana, whether it was emotion or gladness, after saying this, shook his head, accused him of guilt, and left first.

"Master Sanada. What will we do next? If the Kuroda family really follows what the adult guesses, wouldn't it mean that we can set off and return?" Ke'er-sam found that Rikado Xue had left, and then returned, and asked quietly.

"It's not enough to return now. You can't say that when the lord asks about it, you're just guessing? In addition, the lord ordered me to come here to cause trouble for Kurota. If you don't do anything, you're simply ashamed of your lord's trust."

"What the adults said is reasonable, but they are not thinking well."

...

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, but the Kuroda family did not make any moves in the past half month. Kyushu, which had just been chaotic due to its arrival, suddenly calmed down again. However, everyone knew that the appetite of Kuroda officers and soldiers was not only this, but also knew that the current calmness was just a sign of the coming of a war.

After the defeat of Erkawa, the Otomo family lost its former prestige. Not to mention fulfilling the ambition to unify Kyushu, they can protect themselves at this moment. They must also thank the Shimazu family for not using the victory of the Erkawa battle to attack north. Therefore, Otomo Sorin, who should have retired, was disheartened after the defeat and finally passed on the role of the family to Yoshitomo Otomo.

The battle of the Shimazu family not only completely shattered the Otomo family's ambition to unify Kyushu, but also gained a lot. Not only did it regain Osumi, which originally belonged to the Shimazu family, but even Hinata Ichi was basically taken over by the Shimazu family. In this way, Shimazu's strength increased significantly.

When the officers and soldiers disturbed Kyushu, the Ryuzoji family became a bystander. Ryuzoji Takanobu originally thought that the family could take this opportunity to take the Kuroda family's ship and destroy the Otomo family in one fell swoop. However, just when Takanobu had already started mobilizing the military force and was about to wait for the Kuroda officer and soldiers to summon the Kyushu, the other party had already defeated the Otomo family. This was not counting, which made him feel deeply humiliated. The Ryuzoji family was also one of the three heroes of Kyushu. Although at present, it was the weakest among the three families, he actually regarded him as an outsider for such a big matter. However, although he was angry, what could he do? He wanted to admit it like this, but unfortunately, within a few days, the fat man of our family actually let the Kuroda officer and soldiers soldiers take it away quietly. At this time, Ryuzoji Takanobu was already aware that the other party seemed not to be heading for Otomo, but towards him.

If it were before, Takanobu Ryuzakuji would not have any fear. But now, through the several major battles in Kyushu in recent years, he has completely realized that the era of peasant soldiers has passed, but because it was too late to wake up, although the Ryuzakuji family currently has some banners, the number is really small. It has a large part of the Ryuzakuji family that has a total of 500,000 stones. Now the flags that have completed the separation of soldiers and farmers are only 800, and the remaining military forces are all peasant soldiers.

Looking at Kuroda officers and soldiers who had already won the fat, although the army was not strong enough, the three thousand flags under his command were soldiers of a hundred battles. If the two families started a war and used 15,000 peasant soldiers to fight against three thousand elite flags, you will know that there is no possibility of victory.

It has reached a critical moment of life and death. He is no longer allowed to care about the past. He is still clear about the truth that the face is small and the family business is big. Therefore, while gathering the already mobilized peasant soldiers like the Tuogo Kingdom, he sent Naoshima to Otomo's house for help.
