にて万評議を定め、「面々、馬は無用に候。豊後守殿の御
代より仕立て置かれ候馬百疋、鞍を置かせ、堀際へ牽き立てさせ
置き候。これに置かれ出で候え。この内三十人は居残り城
を相守られ、その外は皆打ち出でられ候え」と申し渡し候得共、
人々我先にと乗り出し、残る者一人もなく候。新兵衛これを見て、「今一度、衆てに合う事有り候」と呼び返し、長
柄の槍を横たえ、「これより右の衆は打ち出で候え、左の
衆は城番たるべし。今度我等の下知に付かれぬ仁は、神八
幡、切腹申し付くべし」と申して、左右へ分け申し候。休甫は左

年老い、以後の御用に立ち難く候。ここぞ幸いの事に候
間、右の内へ入りて、ひとえに頼み入り候」と手を合わせ申し候
を、新兵衛申し候は、「近頃年々不似合いに被申し分にて
候。縦え打ち出で候と申し候共、某は城を受け取り堅め候
半。跡の事気遣い致すなと申さるべき身にて、今沙
汰の限りに候」と申し候えば、「誠にもっとも至極、近比誤り候」と
申し候き。兼々家中の侍共、三分二ほどは宗夫方、三
分一ほどは新兵衛方の限りに御座候処に、今度一
揆起り申しに付き、宗夫の内よりして我（新兵衛）こそと
塗り誇り申す体を見、前々廉贔屓方の者共も見

One hundred horses prepared since the time of Lord Bungo-no-kami's governance have been saddled and led to the edge of the moat. Mount these and ride out.

Seeing this, Shinbei called them back, saying "There is one more matter to address together," and laying his long-handled spear across [the path], he said: "From here, those on the right shall ride out; those on the left shall serve as castle guards. Anyone who does not follow my orders this time shall, by the gods of Hachiman, be ordered to commit seppuku." He thus divided them left and right. Kyuho found himself sorted to the left side and, turning to Shinbei, said: "I am already
