Fall of Buzen Castle
Spies report that Buzen Castle was poorly defended. Mori Takamoto decides that a small force of samurai would be sufficient to take the castle. In Autumn, Mori Takamoto personally leads fives companies of samurai and ashigeru into Buzen province by way of the sea, and attacks Buzen Castle by main force.

Diplomacy
The rapid advance of the Mori in Kyushu might cause the Ouchi to feel uneasy. The Mori make a small donation to the Ouchi to assure them of our friendly intentions.
Clan management
Mori Motoharu's loyalty has always been questionable. This is partly due to the influence of his ambitious wife. To keep him happy the clan has appointed him Commissioner of Finance. Mori Takakage is appointed Commissioner of Warfare.
