Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the overlord of a generation, passed away due to illness, and the world was suddenly in turmoil. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who harbors ambitions in his heart but looks like a down-to-earth farmer, is waiting for the opportunity to become the world leader. He was well versed in people's hearts, and he flattered Hideyoshi's main wife Homasa Sho in every possible way, aiming to win over the generals Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori, who regarded Homasa as his mother. Mitsunari Ishida, the capable official whom Hideyoshi trusted most during his lifetime, saw through Ieyasu's ambitions and devoted himself to defending the Toyotomi regime.
Although Sancheng has a superb intellect to make plans, he is arrogant and upright and does not understand the secrets of the human heart. He often offends people and has many conflicts with military commanders. Ieyasu used careful strategies to win over the generals of the "anti-Misei faction" one after another. On the way to conquer Kagekatsu Kamikami, at a military meeting in Noshu Oyama, he turned the generals who followed the orders of Hideyoshi's successor Hideyori into the Tokugawa family's private army in one fell swoop.
Ieyasu's Eastern Army and 30% of the Western Army were fully deployed in Sekigahara on the Nobi Plains, intending to show off. The scheming Ieyasu is thinking about how to bring about the collapse of the Western Army camp. When Kobayakawa's army collapsed behind the Western Army, the Toyotomi era ended and the Tokugawa era came.
