"勝てば官軍負ければ賊軍" is tagged [sK] in the referenced entry.

I see we already have five entries which use commas in cross references (2417290, 2419720, 2833702, 2844869, 2845915), so this shouldn't cause any problems.

  Comments:
shinmeikai, oukoku, meikyo, and iwanami all explicitly
contrast ("⇔") this term with 賊軍. Rather than referencing it
directly, perhaps it would be more useful to reference the common
proverb in which they are mentioned? Or maybe reference them
both?
