===Conflict with Uesugi===
{{Main|Siege of Nanao}}
The conflict between Oda and Uesugi was precipitated by Uesugi intervention in the domain of the [[Hatakeyama clan]] in [[Noto Province]], an Oda [[client state]]. This event provoked the Uesugi incursion, a ''coup d'état'' led by the pro-Oda general [[Chō Tsugutsura]], who killed [[Hatakeyama Yoshinori]], the lord of Noto and replaced him with [[Hatakeyama Yoshitaka]] as a puppet ruler. In response, [[Uesugi Kenshin]], the head of the Uesugi clan, mobilized an army and led it into Noto against Tsugutsura. Consequently, Nobunaga sent an army led by Shibata Katsuie and some of his most experienced generals to attack Kenshin. They clashed at the [[Battle of Tedorigawa]] in Kaga Province in 1577.

====Battle of Tedorigawa====
{{Main|Battle of Tedorigawa}}
In November 1577, the Battle of Tedorigawa took place near the [[Tedori River]] in Kaga Province. Kenshin tricked Nobunaga's forces into launching a frontal attack across the Tedorigawa and defeated him. Having suffered the loss of 1,000 men, the Oda forces withdrew south. The result was a decisive Uesugi victory, and Nobunaga considered ceding the northern provinces to Kenshin, but Kenshin's sudden death in early 1578 caused a succession crisis that ended the Uesugi's movement to the south.<ref name= Turnbull2/>{{rp|12–13, 228, 230}}<ref name= Sansom2/>{{rp|288}}
