Yamashita said that the servants he had sent to Maro and Anzai had returned to Takita.
“They didn’t explicitly say they would surrender, but to be honest, they were afraid. There is no doubt that the two of them will come here before it is too late and apologize for not giving an immediate response, so they will come down to their subordinates. “That state is…”
Yamashita became even more arrogant because he told him that he had made up things that had never happened before, and told him to flatter him in details.
On one occasion, he and Tamazusa rode a rickshaw and enjoyed viewing the flowers in the garden.
Yesterday, he made a pond out of sake and drank a lot of sake around it, and today he made a forest by hanging meat on trees, and he seems to be eating gluttony. Since those who stand at the top are like this, the old retainers also indulge in alcohol and greedily seek luxury.
However, the day when Wang Mang, the founder of the new dynasty in ancient China, ruled the world, and the time when An Lushan in the Tang Dynasty tilted politics. Even if the sunlight seems to shine unequally, there are no examples of traitorous retainers who have tied their lives together for a long time.
“It won’t be long before Yamashita perishes.”
And those who did not lose sight of themselves stayed away from traitors.
At that time, the inside and outside of the castle became noisy, and it became noisy that “the enemy army is rushing close.” Yamashita was hosting the lead role in the back room, but even after hearing this, he calmed down and said,
“What happened to that? If it wasn’t Anzai and Maro who twisted the tiger’s whiskers, it would be a bandit who threatened and robbed the people. Come see how it goes.”
I immediately dispatched a scout, and after a while that person returned,
“The enemy is neither Anzai nor Maro, nor bandits. It is unknown who they are, but they are about 1,000 men, and their formations and formations are orderly and calm. I don’t think it’s a normal enemy. It looks like it’s about 2km from here, resting for a while and then trying to attack.”
and report out of breath.
Hearing that, Yamashita frowned,
“Speaking of white, it’s the color of the Genji clan. I don’t think anyone would use the white flag in Awa and Kazusa. Again, this must be the enemy’s strategy to mislead people. Well, it’s okay. Anyway, the enemy must be tired from the long journey. They’re probably going to attack at dawn.
He delivered the order and gave 500 soldiers to his confidant vassals named Iwakuma and Sabizuka.
The two gladly accepted the order, hurriedly led the soldiers, mounted horses from the front gate, and marched enthusiastically.
By the way, this Iwakuma and Sabzuka are unfairly fierce. In addition to being superior in martial arts, he was also a cunning personality, so he was suitable as a subordinate of Yamashita. was behaving like However, the surrounding people were overwhelmed by this momentum and followed reluctantly. For that reason, Yamashita, who gets along well with them, has always trusted these two, and on this day as well, he selects them to be the generals of the subjugation force, saying,
“If you leave it to the two of you, I have no doubt that you will scatter the attacking guys.
Having said that, he only let the soldiers guard the gates on the four sides, and he himself went back inside and called the maids together and held an entertainment with singing and dancing.
