Chapter 263 Gathering

For some of the more powerful leaders, the positions written on the flags are Marshal, General, Commander-in-Chief, etc.These people bargained with Yang An'er for the past few days, and that's what they talked about.Many official titles were finally determined, or last night.

Several leaders exchanged glances with each other and nodded slightly.Anyway, it took Yang An'er only one night to prepare these big banners so that everyone could stand up in front of Liu Erzu... This is really very 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. Now they are seeing their surnames embroidered on the flags fluttering in the wind, and the official titles before their surnames are at least Dutong. , Wanhu.Such an official title, how many people dare not even dream of it... and this is just the starting point!
Most people are overwhelmed in an instant.Some people even shed tears, saying repeatedly: "Done it! Done it! We will follow Marshal Yang and do it!"

The soldiers guarding the flag were all tall and tall, with their heads held high, they came from the school grounds, turned out of the main gate, lined up in twos along the mountain road, and walked forward side by side.

After dozens of general flags, they raised high the five-party flag, eight-party flag, star flag, animal pattern dragon pattern flag, and even bear and tiger flags, bird falcons, turtles and snakes.Flags are gathered in the mountains, and the flags are billowing in the wind, like a sea of ​​five-color clouds, and the soldiers holding the flags marching along the mountain road are even more like a sea of ​​clouds pouring down, making people dazzled.

At the same time as the flag was hoisted, dozens of leather drums arranged in the mountain pass north of the school grounds were beating together, and the sound of the drums was like rolling thunder, shaking the sky.

Accompanied by the sound of the drums, Yang An'er pressed his bridle and walked slowly, laughing: "Everyone follow me!"

Yang An'er used to have a straight nose and a wide mouth, with a mighty appearance and outstanding spirit, but now she was wearing iron armor and a brocade robe, and surrounded by countless soldiers holding flags, she was simply majestic and majestic.

Not to mention, there are Liu Quan, Li Siwen, Zhan Hui, Wang Min, Ji Junli, Wang Lin, Yang You and others by his side. Role!

Look at the mountains behind, the layer upon layer of fortresses, those soldiers with 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.With such power, I am afraid that Liu Erzu and Li Quan are far behind.With such a sudden launch 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 went down the mountain to welcome them.

At the foot of the mountain, Liu Erzu shaded his head with his hands and looked up to see the mighty procession winding and circling in the mountains.

"What a big momentum!" He murmured.

Huo Yi, Shi Qing, Xia Quan, Hao Ding and the others were chatting and laughing, but when they saw this momentum, they all silently shut up and stared dumbfounded, the surroundings were completely silent.

Liu Erzu and Yang An'er are the leaders of the rebels named in the Shandong border.

Liu Erzu has been fighting against the imperial court in the mountains since he started his army in Tai'an.From Wanyan Chenghui to Heshi Liezhizhong, and later on to Wanyan Sala, Huang Pangwudian and others, Liu Erzu has a record of fighting with them, and it has never stopped for more than ten years.

The partners who persisted in the mountains with Liu Erzu have almost always lived a hard life, just like weeds in the mountains.

They ate chaff and swallowed vegetables with the people, and were exposed to the wind and rain, so there were hardly any fat people, and most of them were thin and ragged.When they came down the mountain this time, they had deliberately put on decent armor and carried the long bows that they were not willing to string. Even though they were dusty, they felt full of momentum.

But compared to the guard of honor Yang An'er lined up at this time... the thieves and chiefs in Mount Tai are more like old farmers who stop the road and sue, beggars.

Yang An'er was recruited by the imperial court back then, served as a governor, served as a defense envoy and commanded an army, many people envied him for this experience.His posture at the moment is really unique to the court's important generals and ministers.

The village owners and leaders around Liu Erzu couldn't help admiring, knowing that only well-trained backbone soldiers can do this.But they all fought with the imperial court for many years and had blood feuds. Looking at this appearance, they vaguely felt a little annoying, as if Yang An'er was different from the companion who lived and died together back then.

At this time, Yang An'er's guard of honor descended slowly, the front team had just left the mountain pass, and the rear team was still on the mountainside.In front of Liu Erzu's eyes, several roadside people at the foot of Moqi Mountain knelt down one after another, which was more like a court official.

Liu Erzu turned his mouth and reined in his horse to stop.

The hundreds of people who came with him also stopped.The donkey and mule with only a few people did not obey their orders and kept going forward.The knight yelled again and again, and it took a lot of effort before he smoothed the animal's hair under the crotch amidst the laughter of the crowd, and returned to the queue.

Liu Erzu's riding skills are also not good, so he was trying to get off his horse, so he didn't bother to smile.He stepped on the stirrup with one leg, and reached the ground with the other leg, but because the horse was not obedient and walked in small steps, the left leg that stepped on the ground could not always land on the ground.

Fortunately, several discerning subordinates were at the side and hurried up to help.

Because of the continuous horse riding for the past few days, the inner sides of Liu Erzu's two thighs were worn out, and it hurts very much at the moment.Standing on the ground, he frowned again when he saw his crooked companions around him, and then at the majestic team ahead.

"Everyone!" He raised his voice and shouted to the leaders and village owners who came to the left and right: "Get off your horse and sit down! Loosen your muscles and bones, and nourish your spirit. We are poor ghosts in the mountains, so don't be poor!"

These leaders and village owners are all ghost spirits who can open up a situation in the deep mountains. How can they not understand Liu Erzu's meaning?
Everyone echoed at the moment: "Yes, yes, our own brothers, don't be particular about it!"

In an instant, hundreds of people all got off their horses and lay resting on the ground in disorder, occupying the entire road.

According to the usual practice, a few masters dug stove holes by the side of the road in order to burn some hot water.Others laughed and said: "What are you doing all this time, we have come to Moqi Mountain, do we still want to eat our own?"

"Hey!" The men who boiled the water said unconvincedly: "There is something to eat if we talk about it, what if we can't agree?"

"Why can't we agree? The heroes around Marshal Liu and Marshal Yang's subordinates are originally in the same line. Everyone is rebellious. Now they are talking about rebellion. Why can't we agree? Are you out of your mind? !"

Liu Erzu sat at the front of the crowd, stretched a few times, wiped his face with a cloth towel, pretending that he didn't hear the nonsense of the people around him.

The cloth towel he used was a linen cloth that was about to be torn, black and dirty.After wiping it twice, someone patted him on the shoulder and handed him another cloth towel: "Old Liu, use mine."

Liu Erzu looked at the leather boots of the person in front of him, without looking up, he took the cloth towel casually, only to feel that it was soft in his hand, it turned out to be a snow-white cotton handkerchief.

"Hey!" Liu Erzu pinched the handkerchief hard, feeling a little bit reluctant, subconsciously stretched out his other hand and stroked the handkerchief twice, smoothing the handkerchief smoother.

"Old Yang, you have really lived a good life these past few years! Such a good material...is it used to make handkerchiefs?"

It was Yang An'er who handed the handkerchief to Liu Erzu.

He descended the mountain with a splendid guard of honor, and ran into Liu Erzu and others in the plains among the mountains.According to Li Siwen and others' intentions, it was time to continue to mobilize people to show off their prestige, but Yang An'er changed his mind in the end.

He asked his subordinates and guards of honor to wait in the distance, and he brought a few cronies and local leaders who were close to him to come forward, and stood directly in front of Liu Erzu and others.

Liu Erzu's subordinates didn't dare to ignore Yang An'er, they all saluted Yang An'er, saying, "I have seen Marshal Yang."

Yang An'er nodded slightly in return, and continued to smile at Liu Erzu: "Most of the villages on my side are near the sea, and they often receive some merchant ships from the Southern Dynasty; to the south of Haizhou, it is the Huainan East Road of the Song Dynasty, and merchants come and go. I can always save some good things, and my life is better than in the mountains.”

"That's too strong, I think, now you don't look like a thief, but like a court official." Liu Erzu said in a deep voice.

Yang An'er laughed loudly, her voice was thunderous: "Why do you care about this? I was a thief before, and then I became an official. When I got tired of being an official, I continued to be a thief. In this world, what is the difference between a thief and an official? A thief is a thief, and an official is also a thief!"
