Some of the more powerful leaders have positions written on their flags such as marshal, general, commander in chief, etc. These people have been bargaining with Yang An'er for the past few days, and this is what they were talking about. Many official titles were finally confirmed last night.
The leaders exchanged glances with each other and nodded slightly. In any case, it only took Yang An'er one night to prepare these banners, so that everyone could build up their momentum in front of Liu Erzu... This was really dedicated and sincere.
There are also many weaker leaders who have occupied one or two cottages and have three to five hundred strong men under their command. At this moment, they are seeing their surnames embroidered on the flags fluttering in the wind, and the official titles before their surnames are at least Dutong. , ten thousand households. Many people would never dream of such an official title...and this is just the starting point!
Most people experience an instant surge of emotion. Some people even shed tears and kept saying: "We'll do it! We'll do it! We'll follow Marshal Yang and do it!"
The soldiers guarding the flag, all tall and with heads held high, came from the school grounds, turned out of the main gate, lined up in twos along the mountain road, and moved forward shoulder to shoulder.
After dozens of general flags, they held high the Five Directions Flag, the Eight Directions Flag, the Star Flag, the Flag with Animal Patterns and Dragon Patterns, and even the Bear and Tiger Flags, Birds and Falcons, and Turtles and Snakes. Flags gathered in the mountains, and the flags billowed in the wind, like a sea of five-colored clouds. The soldiers holding the flags marched along the mountain road, and it was even more like a sea of clouds pouring down, which was dazzling.
At the same time as the flag was raised, dozens of leather drums arranged at the mountain pass north of the school grounds were beaten together, and the sound of the drums was like rolling thunder, rising into the sky.
Accompanied by the sound of drums, Yang An'er pressed the bridle and walked slowly, laughing and saying: "Follow me, everyone!"
Yang An'er has a straight nose and a broad mouth, with a majestic appearance and outstanding courage. At this time, wearing iron armor and brocade robes, surrounded by countless flag-bearing soldiers, he looked majestic and like a god.
Not to mention, there are Liu Quan, Li Siwen, Zhan Hui, Wang Min, Ji Junli, Wang Lin, Yang You and others around him. They are all famous and ruthless generals who started the rebellion during the Tai'an period and have been active until now. Role!
Look at the stacks of fortresses in the mountains behind, and the warriors holding swords and guns...
Since being recruited during the Taihe period, Yang An'er has been dormant for several years, but her hidden strength is only stronger than before. Such power is probably far inferior to that of Liu Erzu and Li Quan. Such a sudden activation of power, what enemy can resist it?
Hundreds of heroes from Mizhou, Juzhou, Yizhou, Haizhou and other places no longer had any doubts. They subconsciously lined up behind Yang An'er's generals and headed down the mountain to greet him.
At the foot of the mountain, Second Patriarch Liu used his hands to cover the shade and looked up at the mighty procession winding around the mountain.
"What a huge momentum!" he murmured.
Next to them, Huo Yi, Shi Qing, Xia Quan, Hao Ding and others were talking and laughing. Seeing such momentum, they unconsciously shut up and stared in dumbfounded silence.
Liu Erzu and Yang An'er were rebel leaders named in Shandong.
Liu Erzu has been fighting against the imperial court in the mountains since he started his army during the Tai'an period. From Wanyan Chenghui to Heshi Liezhizhong, and then to Wanyan Sala, Huang Laowudian and others, Liu Erzu has records of fighting with each of the Shandong Army envoys, and they have never stopped for more than ten years.
The companions who stayed in the mountains with Liu Erzu almost always lived a hard life, just like the wild grass growing in the mountains.
They ate chaffy vegetables with the common people and were exposed to the wind and rain, so there were almost no fat people in sight, most of them were thin and ragged. When they came down from the mountain this time, they had put on decent armor and carried long bows that they were usually reluctant to string. Even though they were dusty, they felt full of momentum.
But compared with the guard of honor lined up by Yang An'er at this moment...the thieves and leaders in Mount Tai are more like old farmers who blocked the road to complain, or beggars begging for food.
Yang An'er was recruited by the imperial court and served as governor, defense envoy and army commander. Many people were envious of his experience. His posture at this moment was truly that of an important general and minister of the imperial court.
The village owners and leaders around Liu Erzu had to admire them, knowing that only well-trained elite soldiers could do this. But they all had been fighting with the imperial court for many years and had a bloody feud. Looking at this appearance, they felt vaguely annoying, as if Yang An'er was different from the companion who lived and died together.
At this time, Yang An'er's honor guard descended the mountain slowly. The front team had just left the mountain pass, and the rear team was still on the mountainside. In front of Liu Erzu, several people on the roadside at the foot of Moqi Mountain knelt down one after another, which was more like the behavior of a high-ranking official from the imperial court.
Liu Erzu turned his mouth and reined in his horse to stop.
The hundreds of people who came with him also stopped. The donkeys and mules that were ridden by only a few people refused to obey orders and kept going forward. The knight shouted repeatedly, and after a lot of effort, he smoothed the hair of the animals under his crotch and returned to the queue amidst the roar of everyone's laughter.
Liu Erzu's riding skills were not good either, so he was trying to find a way to dismount and did not bother to laugh. He put one leg in the stirrup and reached the ground with the other leg. However, because the horse was not obedient and walked in small steps, his left leg could not reach the ground properly.
Fortunately, several discerning subordinates were nearby and quickly came to help.
Because he had been riding horses continuously for the past few days, the inner sides of Liu Erzu's two thighs were worn out, and they were in great pain. He stood on the ground, looked at the crooked companions around him, and then looked at the impressive team in front, and frowned again.
"Everyone!" He raised his voice and shouted to the leaders and village owners who were coming with him: "Get off your horses and sit down! Relax your muscles and bones and recuperate your spirit. We are poor ghosts in the mountains, so don't be too poor!"
These leaders and village masters are able to carve out a situation in the deep mountains. They are all ghosts. How can they not understand what Liu Erzu means?
At that moment, everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, we brothers, don't be particular!"
In an instant, hundreds of people dismounted and lay on the ground to rest, occupying the entire road.
As usual, a few servants dug stove holes on the roadside to boil some hot water. Others laughed and said: "What are you doing with all this effort? We have come to Moqi Mountain, do we still have to eat our own food?"
"Hey!" Several of the men who boiled water said unconvincedly: "If we talk successfully, we will have something to eat. What if we can't reach an agreement?"
"Why can't we reach an agreement? The heroes around Marshal Liu are of the same lineage as Marshal Yang's subordinates. We are all rebels. What we are talking about now is also rebellion. Why can't we reach an agreement? Are you confused? !”
Liu Erzu sat at the front of the crowd, stretched a few times, wiped his face with a cloth, and pretended not to hear the nonsense of the people around him.
The cloth towel he used was a linen cloth that was almost torn, dark and dirty. After wiping it twice, someone patted his shoulder and handed him another cloth: "Old Liu, use mine."
Liu Erzu looked at the leather boots of the man in front of him, without raising his head, and took the cloth handkerchief. He felt that it was soft in his hand. It turned out to be a snow-white cotton handkerchief.
"Hey!" Liu Erzu squeezed the veil hard, but felt a little reluctant to let it go. He subconsciously stretched out his other hand and stroked it twice to make it smoother.
"Lao Yang, you have really lived a good life in the past few years! Such good materials... can you use them to make veils?"
It was Yang An'er who handed the handkerchief to Liu Erzu.
He went down the mountain with the Xuanhe ceremonial guard, and bumped into Liu Erzu and others in this mountain plain. According to the wishes of Li Siwen and others, it was time to continue mobilizing manpower and show off their prestige, but Yang An'er changed his mind in the end.
He asked his subordinates and honor guards to wait in the distance, and he came forward with several confidants and local leaders close to him, and stood directly in front of Liu Erzu and others.
Liu Erzu's subordinates did not dare to ignore Yang An'er. They all saluted and said one after another: "I have seen Marshal Yang."
Yang An'er nodded slightly in return, and continued to smile at Liu Erzu: "Most of the villages here are close to the sea, and they often receive merchant ships from the Southern Dynasties; to the south of Haizhou, there is the Huainan East Road of the Song Dynasty, and merchants are constantly coming and going. So I have it on hand. I can always save some good things, and my life will be better than in the mountains."
"That's too strong. I think you don't look like a thief now, but more like a high-ranking official of the imperial court." Liu Erzu said solemnly.
Yang An'er laughed loudly and loudly: "What do you care about this? I was a thief and then an official. When I got tired of being an official, I continued to be a thief. In this dog world, what's the difference between a thief and an official? ? A thief is a thief, and an official is also a thief!"
