After the Uesugi army besieged Yamagata Castle, Satomi Genemon began to regret that he should not have betrayed the Tone family by listening to Yoshimitsu Mogami's rhetoric. He took advantage of the fact that Mogami Yoshimitsu and Date Terumune were going to Ninomaru to prepare for the opening of the castle, and quickly led 100 people from his headquarters to take over Honmaru and killed all of Mogami Yoshimitsu's family.

Mogami Yoshimitsu can only think about it at this moment, even if he wants to break Satomigen Emon's body into ten thousand pieces, after all, there are wolves in front of him and tigers in the back, and his priority now is not to be captured by the Uesugi army.

However, Yoshimitsu Mogami's illusions have gradually been shattered.

Most of Ninomaru was quickly captured by the Uesugi army and others who were stationed in various parts of Ninomaru Yamagata Castle, such as Settsumoru Koguni, Kanbei Chokai, and Sakashigeuchi, as well as Takashiro Muzuna, Tamate Munemitsu (Date Ieshuryu), Tate Sotoki (son of Tamate Munemitsu), Nakajima Tadamune, Nakajima Soki (Nakajima Tadamune's son), and others who were stationed at various parts of Nichimaru, and most of Ninomaru was quickly captured by the Uesugi army.

"Mogami Youkyo Hall and Date Zuokyo Hall are still captured! Most of Yamagata Castle has been captured by our army, so don't resist stubbornly! Tao Nagabo came to the outside of Honmaru, who closed the door, and looked at Mogami Yoshimitsu and Date Terumune, who were at a loss, and said.

"The Date family is a famous family of the shogunate, and I must not ruin my reputation! Ukyo Hall went first! When Date Terumune saw a large number of Uesugi troops coming towards the Honmaru Gate, he resolutely drew his saber and killed himself.

"Mogami has come to this point, it's all my self-help! Even if you go with Zuojing, it won't help, I'll go with you to see the town government. Mogami Yoshimitsu said after throwing aside the saber "Oni Kiri" in his hand.

When Satomi Genemon saw the Uesugi army coming, he immediately opened the gate of Honmaru to welcome the Uesugi army in, and ordered all his troops to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Uesugi army. And Tao Qingxian thought that this person was capricious, and even if the Uesugi family left him, it would be a scourge, so he ordered him to be dragged out and let Togen Yorijing, the son of the tendo Yorizhen, who participated in the battle, deal with it. After all, Satomi Genemon is still an important minister of the Togen family, and it is most appropriate for Togen Yorikei to deal with him.

When Togen Yoshikei saw Tao Qingxian hand over the traitor Satomi Genemon to him to deal with, not to mention how happy he was. His disposition was also very simple - a slash.

Just after the fall of Yamagata Castle, the Mogami family, which had been based on the two places of Namizukami Hamurayama and Mogami for more than 200 years, was destroyed by the Uesugi army, and the governor of the house, Mogami Yoshimitsu, was also taken prisoner. Unless Asadashi wants to keep this famous family of Nanide Yu, the Mogami family will disappear from now on.

After Tao Qingxian completely occupied Yamagata Castle, he began to prepare for the invasion of Date Domain. The generals of Mogami and Murayama, such as Katsunaga Shibabe, Keisuna Takemata, Shitomi Tsukiji, and Yorisada Tendo, were responsible for stabilizing and garrisoning the castles that had already been captured, in case they were captured by the remnants of the Mogami family.

When the news of the fall of Yamagata Castle and the suicide of Date Terumune reached Rifu Castle, it was already March 20th.

"Lord, now I can only bow to the Uesugi family, and I can only surrender to the Uesugi family's military gate as a last resort!" The retainer Harada Nagashi spoke earnestly to Date Harumune.

"What?! Let the family bow their heads? Go to submissions? It's not that simple! Date Harumune was angry after listening to Harada Nagasei's words.

"But now the Date family doesn't have the strength to fight the Uesugi family again, and even the Soma family in the south can't beat it!" Harada Nagasei said helplessly.

"I don't care! Hurry up and find a way to persuade the southern family and the Spoo family to go south, now the old man doesn't want dignity! Don't be territorial! I just want to avenge my son's tragic death! "Date Harumune is determined to fight the Uesugi family, and he doesn't care about the truth about his leadership.

"The lord is wise! The Uesugi family is the sworn enemy of the family! has successively seized the seven counties of Zhici County and Xiandao, and its ambition is already immeasurable! If you continue to let it go, your family will be swallowed up sooner or later! "The head of the family supported Date Harumune's idea.

"The 1,000 troops gathered by the important ministers of the family were completely wiped out by the Uesugi army in Yamagata Castle, and it is already thankful that another 1,000 troops can be summoned at present!" Harada Nagasei said after pouting his eyes.

"Shouldn't my son die a tragic death and take revenge? Should you bow to the Uesugi family? Date Harumune was clearly carried away by the rage.

"Lord, now we can only find a way to repel the Kasai family first, otherwise the family will be attacked on the back!" Kurokawa Fujihachiro on the side immediately stood up and spoke to Date Harumune.

"Tell the Lord! The Mogami Shigetomi clan was guarding the building, Dan and Saemon, and the military advisor Horiki asked to see him outside the castle. "While the important ministers of the Date family were arguing with me for a word, the three retainers of the Mogami family came uninvited.

"Please!" Date Harumune took this opportunity to learn about the reality of the Uesugi army from the mouths of the three of them.

"The foreign minister's family Owari Mamoto, Dan and Saemon, and Horiki Sasai see Date Exploration Hall!" After the three of them entered the Ohiroma, they let the important ministers of the Date family who were present guess the strength of the Uesugi army.

"Why don't you three freshen up first? The three of them were covered with blood stains, and the saber on their waists was also lost, leaving only the scabbard. Harada Nagasei took the opportunity to ridicule the three of them.

"The military situation is urgent, and I can't wait to freshen up first! The enemy Tao Qingxian's army has begun to climb over Mt. Zao and Mount Pingfeng with a force of 9,000 troops! Look at the temple and quickly think of a countermeasure! The clan Shoudong said anxiously after taking two steps forward.

"What?! Why did the Uesugi Army come so quickly?! "The important ministers of the Date family in the Ohiroma couldn't believe this news, and they thought that the Uesugi army should have come from the Seven Counties of Sendo, instead of going over the mountains.

"Lord, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Many of the retainers of the Date family said in unison, and they all wanted Date Harumune to come and get an idea.

"As long as you keep the Shigu card, there will be a glimmer of life for the family!" Date Harumune thinks he still has a chance.

"Lord, the Tiantong family has always been the only one in the Uesugi family! They are quite familiar with the surrounding terrain, and if they press everything on that level, their family will lose badly! Harada Nagasei still intends to persuade Date Harune bitterly.

"I've made up my mind! Recruit ashigaru and peasant soldiers as soon as possible in all parts of the territory! The family is going to fight to the death with the Uesugi family! After saying this, Date Harumune immediately left from Ohiroma, and he didn't want to listen to any more words to persuade him to submit to the Uesugi family.

The urgently convened assessment meeting ended unhappily, and the important ministers of the Date family returned to their territories one after another to begin preparations for war. Many of the Date family's retainers knew that once the Uesugi army invaded Natori-gun and Miyagi-gun, which bordered Minamiide Hamurayama-gun, then Kurokawa-gun and Shida-gun would be in no danger.

On March 22, Tao Qingxian led 8,000 Uesugi troops to cross Mt. Zao, preparing to threaten the remnants of the Mogami family and destroy the Date family. At the same time that Tao Qingxian led his army eastward, a thousand Soma troops also crossed the Abu Kuma River under the leadership of his head Minister Ma Yoshiyin, and they were eyeing Natori County.

Ono Castle Lord Ono Yaleyo and Amaba Moriyoshi, the Lord of Ono Castle, still closed the city when they saw the Uesugi army approaching the castle, trying to force the Uesugi army to return in vain by virtue of their geographical advantages. The idea of Ono Masarayoshi and Baba Shengyoshi is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Tao Qingxian would not retreat in the face of difficulties, and the combined defenders of the two cities were only two hundred. Soon, Tao Qingxian launched an attack on both cities at the same time. In just one hour, the heads of Ono Yaleyun and Baba Shengyi were sent to Tao Qingxian, and all the city soldiers in the two cities were beheaded.

Not to be outdone, Soma Yoshiyin saw that Tao Qingxian instantly captured Ono Castle and Aoyama Castle, and immediately led his army to launch a fierce attack on Kitome Castle. A moment later, the two guards of Kitome Castle, Aoki Sabu, Shikagu Hizen Mamoru and 120 city soldiers, were begged to death.

When Date Harumune repelled the Kasai army at Iwakuya Castle, the Date family of Natori-gun was suddenly attacked by the Uesugi army. Most of the guards in Kitome Castle, Ono Castle, and Kayama Castle were already in a different place before they could react. Kitome Castle, Ono Castle, and Kazuyama Castle are the major towns in the west and east of Natori Gun, respectively, and if they lose three places, the county will not be protected. Tao Qingxian didn't give Date Harumune too much time to breathe, and he quickly marched into Miyagi County while informing Maori Keihiro, who was garrisoned in Shibata County, to go north to take over the cities.
