I have previously researched the Battle of Sekigahara. I looked into whether it was true that the difference in troop strength was even. It was said that the Tokugawa forces numbered 70,000 and the Ishida forces 80,000, but in fact, as July wrote, due to diplomacy and treachery by the Kobayakawa and other forces, the number of troops directly involved in the battle at the start of the war was 74,000 Tokugawa troops and 36,000 Ishida troops, an overwhelming difference. (There was also a lot of backstabbing and backstabbing, as well as scheming.)
Furthermore, about 20,000 troops, including those of Kobayakawa, joined the Tokugawa forces on the way to the battle, and if the battle became a direct decisive battle on the plain with 94,000 against 36,000, Tokugawa victory would have been obvious to all, and with diplomatic moves in advance, the victory or defeat would have been already decided before the battle.
