On the mountain ridges on the west bank of the Yellow River, there are only a few serious war flags among those hunting flags facing the wind.
Most of them are made of plain cloth or floral cloth and are cut into large pieces, with names such as "Shangtian Monkey" and "Huntian Monkey" written on them.
Among a bunch of mythical beast flags, there was a black flag with a very good texture. Next to it was a leopard-tailed flag and even a floral banner of a Mongolian leader.
There is only one word on that flag, Chuang.
Several people under his banner were all leaders. They all looked different, but they all looked relaxed, watching the tribesmen scattered for several miles crossing the river.
Under the banner of the Sky Monkey, the unkempt man opened his clothes, peeled off a large piece of dirt from his belly and threw it on the road. He picked up his hair that was in a mess, picked out a louse and strangled it to death. He turned around and sighed with envy. Said: "Chief Gao, do you know why King Hengtian asked us to go south, monkey, do I want to follow you?"
Not far away from him, under the banner of Chuang Zi, a tall man with tanned skin was cleanly dressed. He wore a white robe and a white robe on top of the armor. He also had a white scarf tied on the brow of his helmet and a hand. The tail of a Guan Dao was clenched on the ground.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and was a little unhappy at being interrupted. He turned around and asked, "Why?"
The monkey in the sky said: "Because your name is good, but it's not like our name."
"Liu Jiusi, what's wrong with it?" Gao Yingxiang disagreed: "I think your name is also very good."
The monkey in the sky shook his head: "You don't understand."
His rebellion really had nothing to do with drought or corrupt officials.
Long before the drought hit, he had lost all his wealth in Qingjian through gambling, and then joined a group of gamblers to harm others, cheating and abducting, like a ghost.
Later, there was no one to harm him, and he wandered elsewhere with the refugees. When he was looking for workers, in order to get more money from gambling, he lied about being literate and did the job of registering people's names.
How can an illiterate person register someone's name? After one extra meal, he was kicked out by the nursing home, and he killed someone in return, embarking on the path of rebellion.
He thought, Gao Yingxiang's name is really good, so damn good!
No matter Yingxiang, Yingxiang or Yingxiang are all common words used in restaurants, pawn shops and gambling stalls, he can write these six words!
If it had been Gao Yingxiang who came to register at that time, maybe he wouldn't have received that beating.
On the other hand, his name is almost meaningful: "The storyteller I caught last time had just taught me how to write the nine characters. Before he could teach me how to write the word "thinking", he was beaten to death."
Gao Yingxiang had no time to pay attention to him. He concentrated on watching the army crossing the river. The officers and soldiers gathered at Yonghe Pass. With a serious face, he said: "Please clean up later, I will find someone to teach you."
Even though he was disliked, the monkey in the sky was not ashamed at all. He pointed at the Yellow River with a smile and said: "When Yonghe Pass is conquered, I can just jump into the Yellow River and take a bath. They have been talking about me all day, and the water has made the brothers drink too much." Well, I just don’t like bathing, it’s so damn annoying!”
The Huntian Monkey on the side waved his hands quickly after hearing this: "No, you must not jump into the river. You are as dirty as a ghost. If you take a bath in the river, the people on both sides of the Yellow River will get sick."
"Okay, let's make a quarrel at King Hengtian. We'll make a quarrel outside. If there's a war, we'll still quarrel. You two will open up and fight. If one of you dies, the brothers will be quiet."
The speaker's name is Zhang Cunmeng, nicknamed Bu Zhan Mu, and he is the chief leader of Suide.
He turned to Gao Yingxiang and asked: "King Chuang, King Hengtian asked us to go south to join Luochuan Wang Hu and Heisha Shen, take Yichuan Feishan Tiger and Big Red Wolf, and demolish all the post stations along the way to Yaozhou. Why should we attack Yonghe Pass in Shanxi? I don’t think there is anything good in that pass.”
Gao Yingxiang held on to the eight-pound long Guan Dao, turned his head and glanced at Bu Zhanni, and said: "You only know how to demolish the inn, but do you know whose idea it was to demolish the inn?"
"Liu Chengzong of Yan'an Mansion? Oh, I understand."
Bu Zhanni smiled and said: "I heard that he fought at Yanshui Pass and went all the way into Shanxi. King Chuang wanted to ask him to go with him. But I heard that he is different from us. He is a student. , my subordinates are capable of fighting, they are probably all border troops, can they join forces with us?"
After hearing Bu Zhan Mu's words, Gao Yingxiang tightly grasped the Guandao in his right hand, his bronze-colored face showed no signs of wavering, and said, "Try... ha."
His tense face suddenly smiled, and he shook his head and said: "How come this court has forced people like Fourth Master Liu to rebel? Your subordinates should be given the title of Liu Chengzong who forced them to take the road."
Bu Zhanni wondered: "Fourth Master Liu? I heard that Liu Chengzong is the second eldest brother in the family. The eldest brother seems to be a member of the family. It's funny. It's not surprising that people like us are rebelling. Anyway, we have never tasted good fruits. They What is the purpose of such a rebellion?"
"I'm talking about his age. He used to be an official in Mizhi, and I was arrested."
The expression on Gao Yingxiang's face was very complicated, he was angry and wanted to laugh at the same time. Jin, it’s back again.”
"What a bastard...there is such an official?" Budi Mud patted the dust on his helmet, tassel and gun while laughing: "Why do I not believe it so much?"
"Why don't you tell me." Gao Yingxiang smiled and said, "I remember Fourth Master Liu very well, and I have never been to Mizhi since then."
"Hey, let me tell you, you were released in the end." Bu Zhanni asked, "How much money did you receive in the end?"
Gao Yingxiang raised three fingers: "It's still thirty taels, give it to the magistrate, and I will be released from prison."
Several leaders laughed and said, "Then the county magistrate is not bad. He will let you go at thirty taels. He collects money to do things. He is also a good person."
Gao Yingxiang stopped laughing, turned around and said seriously to a few people: "Okay, get ready to cross the river. The officers and soldiers at Yonghe Pass will not dare to get close to take action. The most dangerous time is over. The Huntian Monkeys guard Yanshui Pass, and the others Follow me across the river.”
Several people cheered loudly, and the leaders turned around and gave orders. After a while, several teams with better equipment walked out from several mountain roads and lined up along the river bank. There were thousands of them.
They are the backbone of this team.
Just when several leaders were about to separate and join the formation, the sentry on the mountain issued a warning. People saw a large group of officers and soldiers gathering on a hill to the north on the opposite bank.
This caused Gao Yingxiang and others to stop and wave flags at the troops crossing the river.
They all thought that the government troops would attack at Yonghe Pass in the south, but no one expected that the government troops would appear from the mountains in the north.
"They don't seem to be officers and soldiers."
Gao Yingxiang's men had many surrendered soldiers and Mongolian soldiers, and he knew the camp formations of the officials and soldiers relatively well. He pointed and said: "There is no flag, could it be Liu Chengzong? Send someone to ask."
Bu Zhanni asked: "Even if it's Liu Chengzong, how do you say that we are the King of Hengtian, and we ask him to bow down and call him brother?"
Gao Yingxiang shook his head slowly: "Tell him, I am Gao Yingxiang."
"I'm a thief, you're quite powerful, why don't you tell him I'm Zhang Cunmeng." Bu Zhanni said with a sneer on his face: "What's the use of him telling you, I'm Liu Chengzong."
"It's useless to tell him that your name is Zhang Cunmeng. I might even want to give you a knife, but it's useful to tell him that I am Gao Yingxiang. If you don't believe me, try it."
Gao Yingxiang raised his head and looked at the shining blade of Guandao under the sun, thinking about how to describe the relationship between the two.
After thinking for a while, he found a very suitable word.
"I am the creditor and he owes me a meal."
