The largest Sengoku daimyo in the late Western region was Ouchi Yoshitaka, but the castle of Amago... After failing in the attack on Gassan-Toda Castle, he changed his policy from expanding his power through military force to enriching his territory. This deepened the rift with Sue Takafusa, the deputy governor of Suo, who was the leader of the military faction, and in August 1551 (Tenbun 20), Sue allied himself with Nagato deputy governor Naito Okimori, Aki's leading provincial leader Mori Motonari, and Bungo, Chikugo, and Higo governor Otomo Yoshishige, and decided to rebel. In just a few days, he defeated anti-Sue generals such as Ouchi Yoshitaka and his eldest son Kamedomaru (Yoshitaka), as well as Reizei Takatoyo and Sagara Taketoshi (the Taineiji Incident), and the coup was a success.

However, Motonari, who had sensed their movements, fell into a scheme and the Amago forces retreated. Pro-Amago lords such as Yamauchi and Tagayama switched sides to the Mori, and instead of conquering Bingo, it was a major blunder that resulted in the loss of control over the territory. Eda Takatsune, who was left behind at Hatagareyama Castle, also abandoned the castle and fled, so once Motonari had the castle, he began to persuade the local samurai and people of the domain to make the area his direct domain. However, the troops of Era Fusahide, a retainer of the Ouchi clan, who was heading to Hatagashiyama Castle as reinforcements, arrived...
