The Battle of Sekigahara was a decisive battle in which the Eastern Army, led by Tokugawa Ieyasu, against the (de facto) Western Army, headed by Ishida San, after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Taikaku, decided the direction of the world! It is generally accepted in Japanese historians that Hideaki Kohayakawa was the first to rebel and attack Otani Yoshiji's troops, and then Akaza Naoho, Ogawa Nodasa, Motosuke Motoki, Yasuharu Wakita, and other generals rebelled one after another, resulting in the defeat of the Western Army.
After conquering Kyushu and attacking Hojo, Toyotomi Hideyoshi feared that his powerful daimyō (Tokugawa Ieyasu) would seize power over the Toyotomi family after his death, so he appointed five elders: Maeda Toshiyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Keimoto, Kohayakawa Takakei, and Uesugi Keikatsu (who succeeded hayakawa Takaaki after his death).
Toyotomi Hideyoshi
After Hideyoshi's death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had succeeded his father, was not yet a minor, and the five elders, Hayakawa Takaaki, died prematurely, and it was the second eldest to balance Tokugawa Ieyasu' family, Maeda Toshiyasu. During the lifetimes of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Maeda Toshiya, the Bunji faction led by Ishida Sansei had already fought against the Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa, and other martial arts factions! The mikazu were not cold to the "old turtle" Tokugawa Ieyasu, and after the death of Maeda Toshiya, Misei's relationship with Tokugawa Ieyasu further deteriorated.
This was followed by the disintegration within the Toyotomi Group, and the martial arts school, which was guarded by Fukushima Masanori, "fell" to Tokugawa Ieyasu because it hated Sansei so much. The "sons" of Hideyoshi didn't know who Ieyasu was, so they helped him get rid of Sansei before realizing what a stupid mistake they had made. After the deaths of Hideyoshi and Toshiyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu did whatever he wanted, and his ambition to seize the world inevitably grew.

Ishida Mitsunari is because of the positive evaluation of some Japanese historians in recent years, which has changed his image of a villain in people's minds for many years. But one thing can be proved: Ishida San's ability to become a human being is very capable, but also a little arrogant, and what is more fatal is that this person has a low emotional intelligence and a high IQ! Even Sancheng's best friend Yoshiji Otani has warned him many times: You must be cautious in your dealings with the world, and do not be hated by others... Unfortunately, 30% did not listen to it at all.
On the eve of the Battle of Sekigahara, the Western general Shimazu Toyohisa, who was fighting on the front line, was besieged by the Eastern Army at Sumamata Castle, and Ishida San's preconception that he was not saved was a laughing one: in order to reduce the loss of troops before the war. Shimazu Yoshihiro, a 65-year-old veteran of the Shimazu family, had no choice but to personally lead 200 troops to support the front line before he could rescue Shimazu Toyohisa. After this incident, Shimazu Ichimon was very disgusted with Sansei, which was one of the reasons why the Shimazu Army could not contribute during the Sekigahara War.
Mitsunari Ishida
Hideaki Hayakawa (who had been Hideyoshi's adopted son) was originally inclined to the Eastern Army, but only followed the Western Army at the repeated urging of Ishida Sansei. During the siege of Fushimi Castle, the "God of War" Kohayakawa was very active; but at this time, Ishida Sansei had many military opinions with him, and the relationship between the two further deteriorated!
So why further? It turned out that before Hideyoshi became childless, he planned to give up the position of Sekibai to his adopted son Toyotomi Hideji, but who expected that Hideyoshi would have a son, and Chacha would give birth to a son for him: Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Therefore, getting rid of Xiuji, who may threaten Hideyoshi's succession, became hideyoshi's next step.
Hideaki Kobayakawa
Later, I don't know whether it was because of Hideji's psychological fear, or Whether he knew that he couldn't inherit the world, so he did some strange things; he didn't know whether Hideyoshi couldn't bear to cut love, or cut the grass and roots, so he exiled Hideji to Koyasan; soon, Hideji cut himself off from here, and the person who has been in charge of this matter is Ishida Sansei!
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Xiu qiu may regard Sancheng as the main culprit, so naturally he hates him to the bone; moreover, Xiuqiu is also very afraid that Sancheng will persecute himself, and his heart will inevitably be inclined to Ieyasu. In addition, the Punishment Department Otani had already guessed that Hideaki might betray the Western Army, so on the eve of the Sekigahara War, Otani Yoshiji promised the "God of War" that hideaki could hold the position of Sekibai before Hideyoshi was fifteen years old and obtain a total of one million stones in Omi and Haruma.
Yoshiki Otani
In addition, the nominal commander-in-chief of the Western Army was Maori Huiyuan, but even in the Maori family of the "Maori Two Rivers", there was the internal response of the Eastern Army, the Yoshikawa Hiroya. Because the Hiroyasu family had already conspired with Ieyasu, he volunteered to take the lead for the Maori gate and garrison the northern foot of Nangong Mountain. By the time the Sekigahara War began, the Guangjia did not act, and the military generals in the rear of the position were naturally unable to move.
Therefore, the samurai led by The Anguoji Huiqiong and the Nagashu Masakazu, who had a heart for 30%, did not come in handy at all; the Nagashu Masakazu did not fight after seeing that the situation was unfavorable, and the gray and slippery one ran away! And nagasaki, who has 6,600 people, also has his own small calculations; he originally planned to turn to Ieyasu because he felt that the promise given by the old turtle was not what he wanted, so he defected to the Western Army in turn. How can such a person help?
Tokugawa Ieyasu
As a result, the Hiroya not only succeeded in delaying the advance of the main family, Maori Huiyuan, as well as other allies, but also successfully persuaded Huiyuan to fall to Tokugawa Ieyasu. As a result, throughout the campaign, Maori Keigen remained neutral and did not help Ishida Sansei to attack the Eastern Army!
Therefore, based on the above events, it is not difficult to conclude that the Battle of Sekigahara was not so much the defeat of the Western Army and the betrayal of Kohayakawa, but rather the failure of Ishida Sansei as a man! You don't even know who your allies are, so how will this battle be won?
