During the Battle Of Nagashino , he led a night attack against the Takeda, which proved out very successful, with the help of Kanamori Nagachika . During the Komaki Campaign , he was commanded to turn back a Toyotomi move against Kiyosu , which was led by a Toyotomi commander known as Mori Nagayoshi . Tadatsugu successfully completed the task. In the year of 1590 , during the Odawara Campaign , Tadatsugu was to accompany Tokugawa Hidetada , the third son of Ieyasu, to Kyoto, since he was meant to be the current hostage for the Toyotomi. After they moved from the due to diplomatic reasons, Tadatsugu was confronted with the fact that Tokugawa Nobuyasu was plotting against the Oda . Since Tadatsugu was no friend whatsoever to Nobuyasu, Tadatsugu made no attempt to refute the charges, and forced Nobuyasu to commit suicide. When Tadatsugu himself died in the year of 1596 , he was succeeded by his son, Sakai Ietsugu . |
