After Hideyoshi's death, Yoshimasa Tanaka approached Ieyasu Tokugawa and joined the EASTERN ARMY in the Battle of Sekigahara. Yosimasa fought a fierce battle with Ishida in the Battle of Sekigahara at the foot of Mt.Sasao. The solitary and helpless Ishida’s forces fought valiantly until the end, and Mitsunari escaped from the battle to Mt. Ibuki.
After the fight Ieyasu gave Yoshimasa an order to search for Mitsunari Ishida. Because Yoshimasa knew the geography of Shiga well. Yoshimasa’s soldiers arrested Mitsunari in Fuhashi village and sent him to the mansion of Ieyasu.
Yoshimasa treated Mitsunari politely, in return Mitsunari gave Yoshimasa a short sword which Mitsunari was originally granted by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. <!-- [if gte mso 9]> |
