Military leader deploying guns around a house (6)
I believe the answer is:
shogun
'military leader' is the definition.
'shogun' can be an answer for 'leader'. I'm not sure about the 'military' bit.
'deploying guns around a house' is the wordplay.
'deploying' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'guns' is an anagram of 'sgun'.
'sgun' placed around 'ho' is 'SHOGUN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shogun that I've seen before include "Former military governor of Japan" , "Hereditary military dictator of Japan until 1868" , "Feudal Japanese leader" , "Leader in feudal Japan" , "No gush from this Japanese army commander" .)
