On the morning of March 12, the morale of the Mogami army, who learned that Hidebo's army had come to help, was greatly boosted, and Mogami Yoshimitsu arrived at Hasedo and personally led 3,000 troops to pursue Naoe Kansue in the direction of Kokoshi Street. Ignoring the retreat of the Date army, Mogami Yoshimitsu stubbornly pursued the Uesugi army, ready to vent his resentment these days. In the early morning of the next day, Mogami finally caught up with Naoe Kanesu, who at this time had no possibility of retreating as originally planned.

From 6 o'clock in the morning to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after 28 battles, the Uesugi army marched to the six mile road, when the Mogami army pursued to the vicinity of Sugawa, it was blocked by the Uesugi army Mizuhara and Maeda Keiji, first the Mizuhara pro-Ken iron artillery team in the northwest of Sugasawa Mountain Fujin Mountain fired at Mogami Yoshimitsu's troops, taking advantage of the chaos of the Mogami army, Maeda Keiji held a spear, flew off his horse, and led Mizuno Fujibei, Niratsuka Riemon, Usamiya Goemon, Fujita Moriemon and other four people into the enemy formation. The martial bravery of the "Wondersman" was once again displayed in this battle, dozens of Mogami soldiers died at his hands, and coupled with the blow of the Suwon pro-constitutional iron artillery, Mogami Yoshimitsu gradually could not resist Maeda Keiji's attack and retreated.

In the melee, Yoshimitsu Mogami was almost hit by an iron cannon, but fortunately, Yoshiyasu Mogami led reinforcements to arrive, allowing Yoshimitsu Mogami to escape. During this period, there were many casualties, including 1,500 Uesugi families and more than 600 Mogami families. After three days of pursuit, on March 15, Naoe returned to Yonezawa Castle with his troops, and Mogami Yoshimitsu withdrew his troops. At this point, the battle of the Mogami campaign, which lasted for a month and a half, came to an end for the time being.

As for the military situation in the Nanshonai area, Shida Yoshihide and Shimoyoshitada's Uesugi Rangers were not easy to retreat because the battle line was too deep, and as a result, Shimoyoshitada was surrounded by Mogami Army at Tani Castle on March 13 and was forced to surrender, and Shitoyoshi Yoshihide retreated to Tsuruoka Castle. Mogami pursued the Uesugi army to Shonai, and not only recovered the Korean and Japanese military routes, but also captured Oura, Kagawa, Yome, Fujishima and other places one after another, and the front of the troops was directed at the two castles of Tsuruoka and Oura, which were near the sea. However, because the strength of Shida Yoshihide who retreated to the place was still there, he besieged it but did not attack it. The intention was to force Kaesong by cutting off food.

Having lost a large number of troops at Hasedo and not being able to weaken his defense of the Date family, Mogami Yoshimitsu agreed to Naoe's request to exchange Tsuruoka and Oura Castle for the neutrality of the Mogami army, and promised to give Zhishi-gun to the Mogami family after the war. Mogami Yoshimitsu is a staunch supporter of Hidebo, how could he be locked by this little profit, the reason why he agreed, first, that his current strength is damaged and he needs to recuperate, and second, he can deceive the soldiers of the two cities of Opo without a fight, as for whether he will still abide by his promise when Hidebo's army is killed. It depends on his recovery.

The same. In order to appease Date Masamune. Naoe said that the two counties of Karita and Date that were now occupied would be owned by the Date family, and that if the Date family remained neutral, the three counties of Senhoku, including Nobuo-gun, would be ceded to Date Masamune after the war.

Got such a promise from the Uesugi family. Date Masamune was a little moved, if he cooperated with Hideho to attack the Uesugi family, even if he won, it would be impossible to get the reward of the five counties; On the contrary, if he remained neutral, he could obtain an increase of more than 200,000 without sending a single soldier, which was worth no matter how he calculated, and with the frequent persuasion of Tokugawa Ieyasu's envoys, Date Masamune temporarily gave up the attack on the Uesugi family. Even if he received Hideho's order soon after, he only brought the army to Shiraishi Castle and stood still, and there was a great tendency to watch the fire from the other side.

After ceding their territories in exchange for temporary stability in the north, Uesugi Keikatsu and Naoe Kanesuke hastily gathered their forces from all over the country to Wakamatsu Castle, including the remnants of the retreating army that had been defeated after the opening of the castle in Minamishonai. As of March 25. The total strength of the Uesugi army reached 25,000 men, and at this time, the crusading army led by Hideho was marching along the west streets of Aizu on the way to Wakamatsu Castle, and before entering the Aizu area, the biggest obstacle they faced was the Shimono Sanya, which was controlled by the Uesugi family, and in the adjacent Otawara Castle, there were 12,000 troops led by Masaaki Otawara who were eagerly waiting for Hidebo's arrival.

Compared with the smoke of gunfire in the east, the situation in the west is not optimistic. According to the previous agreement with Tokugawa Ieyasu, ten days after Hideho sent troops, that is, on the tenth day of the first month of March, Mori Terumoto took Mori Motoyasu's eight men on Mori Motoyasu as the forward, and Ankokuji Huiqiong as the military advisor, led 30,000 troops from Hiroshima Castle, along the mountain Yin Road all the way east, and arrived at Bichu Takamatsu Castle at the junction with Ukita in two days. Osaka Castle was air-defense, so the Mori family led their troops eastward.

Although he did not believe the words of the Maori family, there were only 200 defenders in the city, and most of the troops were advancing eastward with the Xiu family, which made the defense in the territory empty, and under the stalemate, the Maori army was forced to open the city and let it go after the threat of force. After the army passed, the general of the castle defense sent ninjas to to confirm the truth of what Mori Motoyasu said, and on the other hand, to inform the elders who had stayed behind in to carry out the news of the Mori army's march into.

With the precedent of Takamatsu Castle, Mori Terumoto entered the uninhabited land of Bichu and Bizen under the command of Ukita, and entered Harima Province in just two days. The Harima people had gone out with the army earlier, and the inner city was almost empty, and the Mori Terumoto was menacing, and the retainers who stayed behind did not dare to stop it, so they opened the city one after another to let them go, and the same situation also happened in the Settsu Province under the direct leadership of Toyotomi Hideyori, where the small daimyo were not in the skill, and the retainers who stayed behind were all forced to let go.

However, when the army crossed the Inona River unhindered and prepared to camp at Amagasaki Castle on the other side, Ukita Hideya led an army of 15,000 troops to the riverside, occupied the ferry and pontoon bridge, and demanded that the Mori army return to Hiroshima or face a battle.

The Inona River flows through a river in the central part of Settsu Province, and like the Yodo River, it is a river that flows out of the sea through Osaka Bay, and not only that, but the two rivers are very close to each other, and it takes less than half a day to reach the Yodo River, which is known to be the moat of Osaka, so the importance of the Inona River is self-evident.

Mori Terumoto, who had been smooth sailing for five days, did not expect to confront Ukita Hideya here, and due to his unfamiliarity with the terrain, the boats on the Inona River and the ferries and pontoons on the east bank were all controlled by the Ukita army, and the Mori army was suddenly at a disadvantage.

Despite this, the 30,000 troops of the Maori army were still twice the size of the Ukita army, and the Inonagawa River was not very long, and even if it was a detour, it would not take a few days, so Ankokuji Huiqiong was entrusted by Mori Terumoto to cross the river to negotiate with the Ukita Hideya, indicating that the Maori family only wanted to "help defend Osaka" in order to fulfill the responsibility of the elder, and would not pose a threat to Toyotomi Hideyori.

But Ukita Hideya didn't plan to eat him, saying that it was enough for Osaka to have himself, Maeda Toshiie, and Ishida Mitsunari, and Hideho had arranged a task for the Maori family before the expedition was to defend the western country, and it was really inappropriate to raise troops into Beijing at this moment, and still insisted that the Maori family retreat to Hiroshima.
