In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and strategies will be rendered useless in the end. China was just stronger than Japan in this exchange. They had more troops, better trained and better equipped troops, and a better commander. It's really no surprise that the battle went the way that it did. Its a shame that Ieyasu died the way he did, but if I'm honest I am actually not that surprised, as I've always considered him the weakest among the 3 Unifiers. Most of his achievements prior to Sekigahara were the result of him being on the right side at the right place at the right time. And by the time Sekigahara happened, there was arguably no one left to compete with him for supremacy. And while I recognise that he was an outstanding figure of his time, I always felt that his abilities paled when compared to his peers, not just Nobunaga but also Takeda Shingen and Kenshin Uesugi. Hopefully Nobunaga will put up a more decent fight against Great Xia. As the most prominent user of fierarms of the Sengoku Period, I wonder how he will respond to the Great Xia Cavalry? And hopefully he'll survive this Country War to join Great Xia later.
