Since Shimazu Yoshihiro has been under house arrest, it indicates that the Shimazu family is determined to violate the peace agreement in the Mikushu area that the Luo family has previously formulated...

Of course, in Masaru's heart, even if the Shimazu family really canceled the strategy for the North Satsuma and the West Dayu region this time, he would eventually deal with the Shimazu family. Moreover, in Masaru's subsequent plan, annexation of the Shimazu family was also an inevitable step.

If the Shimazu family could surrender this time, Masayoshi would naturally be gentler when dealing with the Shimazu family in the future. After all, if the Shimazu family really surrendered, it would be of great help to the current strategy of the Luo family for the Western Region.

But what disappointed Masaru was that Shimazu family finally chose to confront each other. Yes, Masaru believed that Shimazu family's decision this time was a confrontation against the Luo family. Although Shimazu family was only retaliating against the invasion of the rich families of Kitasamo and Nishioyuki, and did not confront the Luo family, it was just that Shimazu family was not planning to tear apart the face with the Luo family and temporarily maintain peace between the two families. For Masaru, this was just a piece of ugly cloth.

The expansion of the Shimazu family's power and the intention to connect with the Ito family's power are indeed intolerable, which caused great trouble to Masaru's plan that Masaru came down immediately. However, Masaru was also hesitant to how to deal with the Shimazu family's decision.

If the Shimazu family decisively advances against the Shimazu family and joins the powerful families in the Kitasatsu, Nishi Osumi, and Nishi Hyuga region to fight against the Shimazu family, then the Luo family will probably go to the war vortex in the Mikushu region. After all, the Ito family in the Himazu region will not miss this opportunity to join the Shimazu family to fight against the Ro family.

More importantly, at this time, nearly 80% of the troops within the Luo family had been fully invested in the war vortex of the Xiguo region and the Kitakyushu region. In these two areas alone, the Luo family successively invested nearly 80,000 troops. Among these 80,000 people, they included nearly 90,000 permanent troops of the Luo family, as well as the majority of the reserve troops of the Luo family and the temporarily recruited peasant soldiers (these peasant soldiers naturally also included peasant soldiers who participated in logistics tasks such as material transportation and maintenance of newly occupied territory).

If this battlefield in Nanjiuzhou also emerged at the same time, Zhengliang was expected to invest at least about 20,000 troops. Then, together, nearly 100,000 troops would be invested in all battlefields. Not to mention that most of these 100,000 people were not always available and had low combat power. Just the resources consumed by these 100,000 people every day would be a huge number. Not to mention the unnecessary natural loss caused by the transportation of their respective materials.

Unlike those powerful people who have accumulated over several generations, the Luo family is only a family that has only been around for more than ten years. The accumulated resources and foundations are naturally limited. Although the Luo family had occupied the Kaiqian Kingdom, the Kaiqian Kingdom, the Kaiqian Kingdom, the Kaiqian Kingdom, the Fengqian Kingdom, the Fengqian Kingdom, the Fengqian Kingdom, the Iki Island, and also guided some areas of the Nagato country, the Zhou Fangguo, the Anyi Kingdom and the Beihou Kingdom, but in fact, the areas such as the Chuqian Kingdom, the Fengqian Kingdom, the Fengqian Kingdom, and the Iki Island were newly occupied and had not yet reached the level of support for the Luo family's strategy (can

It would be good enough to provide self-sufficient), not to mention that there had just been riots in the areas of Chuqian Kingdom, Fenghou Kingdom, and Fengqian Kingdom. As for the last Nagato, Zhou Fangguo, Anyi Kingdom and Beihou Kingdom, they only provided part of the material support for the Luo family's army plundered by the war, and there was no long-term support at all. So at this time, the three areas that were actually supported by the Luo family's nearly 80,000 people participated in the strategy of the Luo family's participation were Feiqian Kingdom, Chuhou Kingdom, and Feihou Kingdom, which had been ruled by the Luo family for a long time.

But even with the stability support of the above three regions, it is still limited. If a new battlefield is opened in the Southern Kyushu at the same time, it is equivalent to the Luo family launching three battlefields in the Western Kyushu area, Kitakyushu area and Nan Kyushu area at the same time. In this case, Masayoshi estimated that the internal affairs system of the entire Luo family would be shaken. You should know that the stability of the internal affairs system is the foundation that determines the stability of the Luo family's rule and the foundation that the Luo family's continuous strategy is also the foundation that the Luo family's continuous strategy has actually put great pressure on the internal affairs system of the Luo family. Not long ago, this issue was jointly written by the retainers of Donggo Heiji, Arima Haruku, and Sorara Goruren and other internal affairs cabinets.

Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the rule of the Luo family, Zhengliang must carefully consider whether to open up the battlefield in Nanjiuzhou. After reading the letters in his hand, Zhengliang stood up and looked out the window through the wooden window where the room was located.

Although it was the end of January, the weather outside still seemed a little cold. In such weather, it also affected the progress of the Luo family's army to a certain extent.

"Am I too greedy?" Zhengliang suddenly said to himself as he looked at the gradually gloomy sky outside the ship.

Yes, when he first launched an army to attack Itsuki, what Masaraki had only wanted to take advantage of the defeat of the Mori family and the Tao family to pick a peach. The purpose at that time was just to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Mori family and prevent him from growing into a new powerful hostile force of the Luo family, and at the same time take the opportunity to capture the territory of the Hara Ouchi family and seize the benefits as much as possible.

However, as the situation continued to develop, the originally planned goals also changed greatly. At this time, Masayoshi hoped to defeat the Nagato country, Zhou Fangguo, An Yiguo and even Beihou countries in one fell swoop, and become the overlords of the Western country.

But things will never go smoothly. After all, the enemy will take the initiative to deal with the situation of the Luo family. For the Maori family in the Anyiguo area, the Maori Moto, who had returned to Tayyama Castle in Yoshiguchi at this time, used his superb methods, which caused the two armies of the Luo family in the last two counties of the Maori family in the Anyiguo area to be greatly blocked and almost no progress was made.

As for the Beihou region, it was even more trapped in the interweaving of the Luo family, the Maori family, the Nizi family and the local wealthy family, which made the progress of the army extremely difficult. The riots in the Kitakyushu area also had a lot of impact on the Luo family, resulting in the Luo family having to use sea transportation for the transportation of materials in the Xiguo area. While increasing the difficulty of logistics support for the Luo family, the Luo family's naval army had to distribute part of its troops to ensure the safety of water transportation, thereby weakening the Luo family's control over the newly occupied Seto Inland Sea and other waters.

In addition, the Luo family fell into the war vortex of the Western Kingdom and Kitakyushu area, and the surrounding forces would naturally pay close attention to it. For example, the Yoshimiya family and other wealthy families in the Ishimiya area had already taken action. If Masaru had not arranged a large army to take the initiative in advance to prevent him from being able to split up, these wealthy families would have led the army to get a share. And the Nizi family behind the Ishimiya family would have certainly taken action when they figured out the situation in the Western Kingdom area at this time.

Even the Situji family in Nanyiyu, which had already formed an alliance with the Luo family, had a very strange behavior at this time. Masayoro had sent someone to invite him to jointly attack the Kono family in the northern Yiyu country, but until now, the Situji family has not responded to the invitation of the Luo family.

As for the Kono family, which had already fought against the Luo family naval army in the Shikoku region and the Seto Inland Sea coast, if it were not for being restrained by the Luo family's army, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would take the initiative to attack the Luo family. What made Masara even more cautious would naturally be the Hosokawa family, which claimed to be the overlord of the Four Kingdoms. If there was a change in the Luo family, Masara believed that the Hosokawa family, which had always coveted the Western Region, would definitely join the strategy of the Western Region immediately.

It was not because Zheng Liang deliberately became enemies with the surrounding forces, but as the Luo family continued to grow, it naturally had to become the target of the surrounding forces. After all, no one wanted to appear around him that was ready to annex them at any time. In this case, as long as he was not a fool, he would naturally be alert to the Luo family, which naturally made it difficult for the Luo family to achieve diplomatic relations with these forces. At the same time, it was even more destined that once the Luo family had a situation, these forces would pounce on the Luo family's territory like wild wolves.

Under such circumstances, if Zhengliang opens up a new battlefield in Nanjiuzhou again, the risks faced by the Luo family will be much greater. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. In order to ensure the benefits obtained in the Western Region and achieve greater achievements in the Western Region, Zhengliang decided to temporarily suspend his investment in Nanjiuzhou.

Of course, inevitable response is also necessary. Thinking of this, Zhengliang immediately returned to the original tatami, took out his pen and ink letters, and began to write a response letter to the situation in Nanjiuzhou.

First, he ordered Jia Fei on the border of Nanfeihou to be honest and ordered him to lead the seventh standing team to pay close attention to the changes in the situation in the Nanjiuzhou area, report the situation in the area to Zhengliang in a timely manner, and ensure the safety of the border of the Luo family's territory and be prepared to respond to the attack.

Secondly, the legitimate son, Tang Wangmaru, who was rioting in Kitakyushu, ordered him to speed up the pacification, and then organized the military force to go to the border area of ​​Nanfeihou to meet with Jiafei directly to jointly respond to the changes in Nankyushu.

Finally, he ordered Kakuma Ishisen, who was still in the Mian Kyushu area at this time, to immediately rush to the three regions of Kitasatsu, Osuki and Mian Hyuga, to try his best to unite the powerful forces in these regions to block the attack of the Shimazu family and to delay the expansion of the Shimazu family and Ito family.
