弘治元年（1555年）、安芸の毛利元就と周防の陶全姜（晴賢）とが、年々合戦す。今年十一月、元就、俄かに全姜を攻めて戦い勝つ。全姜、自害す。大友の義長は、長門にて自害す。元就、遂に長門・周防を討ち平らぐ。その嫡子・隆元、その次・吉川元春、その次・穂田元清、その次・小早川隆景、皆、軍事に達せり。元就は、そよより備中へ出張す。備前の宇喜田直家、和を乞うによりて帰陣し、隆元を周防に留めて、豊後の大友を押さえて、元就ならびに元春・隆景は、出雲へ発向し、富田の城を攻めて、尼子晴久と合戦し、年月を送れり。

His eldest son Takamoto, his second son Kikkawa Motoharu, his third son Hoda Motokiyo, and his fourth son Kobayakawa Takakage were all accomplished in military affairs.
