Motoie, having left the castle to the care of his brother, Motoharu KANEKO, entered Takatoki-jo Castle of Shugodai (the acting military governor) of the Ishikawa clan to command all the troops, and thus concentrated the soldiers at Takao-jo Castle in Himi (the present-day Saijo City) in order to consolidate the forces. 元宅は城を弟の金子元春に託して全軍指揮のために守護代 石川氏の高峠城に入り、兵を氷見(現 西条市)の高尾城に集めて軍勢を整えた。 |
