The Siege of Takamatsu took place in
1582 in
Japan.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was attacking the Mori
castle of Takamatsu when news of
Oda Nobunaga's murder reached him. Hideyoshi had already diverted a
river to flood the castle and when he suggested a negotiated end to the
siege, the Mori (who were unaware of Oda's murder) were willing to listen.
They surrendered the castle, freeing Hideyoshi to immediately leave to
pursue Oda's assassin,
Akechi Mitsuhide.
