Hearing that Yoshizane kept on doing it,
“The plan of chastity is not dangerous, but there is no profit for us. Takayoshi’s plan is skillful, but very dangerous. I think that the ancient kings and wise generals raised an army of benevolence and justice, but won with deceit. Duke Wen of the Jin dynasty of China was one of the top five assistants to the Zhou dynasty during the Spring and Autumn period without resorting to sophistication. This is a common tactic in the Warring States period, but no matter how good the strategy is, even if the enemy is destroyed by deceit and the land is ruled, how can the people be led correctly? This is why I can’t agree with your strategy.Yamashita has fertile land, is locked in an impregnable castle, and has food for three years, but is exceptionally good at defense. isn’t it”
Yoshizane continued,
“Takita is by no means difficult to take down, but if he were to take over the castle in one fell swoop, he would probably kill a lot of innocent people. If you were pressured by power, feared by power, and temporarily confined to a castle, you would end up sharing your sorrows, instead of sharing your joys, and losing your life there. I’m very sorry for that.There is no future for a military commander who commits violent acts.My aim is only for Sadakane Yamashita.It will be enough if I defeat him alone.It is unbearable to see anyone else conspiring and losing. ”
When I explained it seriously, both Sadayuki and Kanamari were impressed and didn’t say any more.
After a while, these two involuntarily sighed,
“It’s impossible for an ordinary mind to come up with wisdom. The old saint kings and wise generals must have done the same. Nonetheless, the times are now in turmoil, and there are a great many people who are interested in virtue. The current situation is that there are very few people.The lord’s charity is not shallow, and even if he wants to save the people who are holed up in the enemy’s castle, he does not have an army to match. I will not accept hijacking the , nor will I be nodded to deceiving and retreating. Who will you be able to start the great business with? If there is no concrete action, it will end like this.Please make a decision.”
I say.
Yoshizane smiled and said,
“Of course, I was also concerned about the shortage of provisions. After thinking about it, I looked around and noticed that there were many domestic pigeons looking for food in the bean field on the southeastern side. ‘Where did that come from?’ I wondered if they would come together.’ In the morning, they would come from Takita Castle, and in the evening they would return.The pigeons are said to be messengers of Hachimangu Shrine, the tutelary deity of the Genji clan. I prayed to the gods, told the young men, and secretly set up a net to catch about 60 pigeons. If you let it go again, it will surely return to the castle.Then people will be suspicious and will catch the dove and look at the book.Even if it is not caught, the knot will be untied and it will fall.”
continue,
“If every single person in the castle opens this proclamation and leaves the traitor and returns to the right path, an incident will occur and the castle will be destroyed without attacking. If things go well, it will be the enemy of the country. The hopes of the people will be fulfilled if only Yamashita, a certain bandit lord, is defeated.The castle soldiers were worried that even those who originally had no intention of following Yamashita would be killed anyway if they went over there. There is also the possibility that he is unwillingly protecting the castle for the sake of his enemy.This is also pitiful.It seems to be a fleeting plan that is about the wisdom of a child, but when heading here first, the white flag on the bank of Machisaki I prayed to the gods, and I got a good omen for the turtledove.
