Volume 3 A Small Test Chapter 9 The Thirteen Alliances of Righteousness
Then, the three of them went to investigate again, and saw which one of them who was not long-eyed dared to stand in the way of our eight kings!
Not long after, Huang Que reported the news that he had discovered, and in front of him was Ai Changsheng, the owner of Yingshan Cottage, who came to avenge the enmity of the same sect and immediately raised his might.
This Yingshan is located at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, the northeast and Anhui Yuexi, Taihu, Huoshan, Jinzhai four counties junction, southwest and Luotian, Xishui, Qichun three counties of the province. It has been called "Wu Tou Chu Wei" and "Eastern Hubei Gateway". Yingshan has a long history of humanities, there is one of the ancient "four great inventions" of movable type printing, the inventor of movable type printing is here to make words, the mountain shape is not too grand, but it is very quiet, it is also a good place for training troops in Tibetan Mountain.
Although everyone knows that the so-called revenge of the same sect is mainly to come to immediately raise their prestige. Zhang Bingzhong has only said about thieves such as cottages, and now he no longer cares about them. It's just a matter of deciding how to deal with it, so he ordered the three sparrows to go around to find out if this gang of bandits is disturbing the people. I was thinking in my heart which battalion to use to suppress the bandits. I was still calculating in my heart, but I heard someone behind me asking for merit. Looking back, it turned out that it was the head of the Nangong of the Changfeng Camp who came to ask for battle.
Bingzhong saw that it was him, and even nodded in agreement. It turned out that among the six battalions, only the Changfeng battalion had not yet been combated, and they were trained as a formation flag battalion on weekdays, for fear that they would be a little spoiled. In this way, it is also good to use the experience of this group of mountain bandits to train them and see how effective the actual combat is. Bingzhong immediately grabbed the reins, and immediately waited for the Changfeng camp to move forward to suppress the bandits.
Bingzhong and the Luo brothers came to a high slope, and saw Nangong Chang ordering his team around, seeing that this posture was to show their formation flag. Looking at the flag team that was diverted out, Bingzhong knew at a glance that it was a four-elephant and two-ritual array. Looking at this formation, he couldn't help but nod and said: This Nangong chief is still a little advanced.
Bingzhong smiled and replied: On weekdays, I teach the Liangyi and Four Elephant Formations. Now that it is located in the mountains, the mountain bandits will only gather together, and they only need to set up a formation and intersperse, and the mountain bandits will definitely be in chaos. These four elephants are the security array, and the two instruments are used by the two small flag teams to intersperse. In the formation, these two instruments are Taiji, and the four images are Qiankun Kanli, representing heaven and earth, water and fire respectively. In the earliest days, the heavens brought clear air on the surface and turbid air on the surface, and the four major elements that made up the world, earth, water, fire, and wind. All things are inseparable from the four elements, and Bagua is the source of eight kinds of power in nature, which represents: heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountain, and ze. Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip, with the evolution of things. Life two, two life three, the top person is the eye of the array, and all the changes come from him. The eye of the Sixiang Bagua Array is Tai Chi, and if you can't break through the surrounding obstacles and teams, you won't be able to go to the array. Now, he has reversed the formation he has learned and used it, which shows that he has also put a lot of thought into it. If you don't believe it, you'll see the show coming down right away. Look at him, Nangong Chang means to capture this bandit leader alive!
Before the words fell, the yellow finch came to report. Reported, this Yingshan bandit leader - Ai Changsheng, turned out to be the head of this pair of farmers, and later because of the government's exploitation, so he pulled up the pole to occupy the mountain as the king, and on weekdays, he mainly robbed the rich and helped the poor, and rarely harassed the people under Pinggu. Oh! I see! I thought to myself: It is estimated that the rebels in the world are probably the same as the scene in the Eighteen Villages, which are nothing more than official corruption and rebellion, licking life on the knife edge for a bite of food. Thinking of these, I couldn't help but look at Feng Chi, and felt that in these sad years, when is the beginning......
After a while, I saw Nangong Chang personally bring two personal entourages and personally escort a middle-aged strong man to Zhang Bingzhong. Yu Zhang Bingzhong reported the battle report, and told him to capture the owner of the cottage, Ai Changsheng and others, waiting for the major general to fall. The soldier pushed Ai Changsheng in front of Bingzhong, and Bingzhong didn't know what to ask for a while. After thinking for a while, he slowly asked: Who are you? Why do you want to block us from crossing the border? I have no relationship with you this time, so why do I have a grudge?
There is no grudge, just to be famous immediately. How do you know that this Ai Changsheng is quick to talk, looking at Na Ning's unbending temperament, it makes Bingzhong's heart move. Bingzhong asked tentatively, then what do you plan to do in the future?
"If your subordinates are defeated, what a shame. ”
"If I kill you, it will be as easy as a hand. But seeing that you are so quick to talk, so if you ask one more question, would you like to discuss the plan with me?"
"Ha, ha! I came to kill you and wanted to make a name for myself, but I didn't expect to be caught by you. If I am asked to discuss a plan with you, you are not afraid that I will be attacked by me again?"
Bingzhong also laughed, and said to the Luo brothers: Knowing people cares about knowledge, how can such a refreshing person do those dirty things?
I saw that Ai Changchang sighed and said: It is said on the road that the eight kings are wise, tenacious and forbearing, and righteous and angry. After saying that, Shuangqi knelt on the ground and said: I am willing to be driven by the major general and swear to die. After hearing this, Bingzhong hurriedly dismounted, helped Ai Changsheng up with both hands, and hurriedly said that the words are serious! The words are serious! Untie the ties, and several people sit on the ground. Introducing each other, chatting with each other about the local customs, and slowly waiting for Changfeng Camp to clean up the mess.
After a while, Feng Chi stepped forward and reported everything after the war to Bingzhong, and did not shy away from whether Ai Changsheng was present. Bingzhong listened carefully, and Ai Changsheng admired Zhang Bingzhong for his good governance of the army and his decisiveness, and he made up his mind to follow Zhang Bingzhong in the future. After attacking Fengchi, Bingzhong turned around and asked Ai Changsheng. "Lord Ai Zhai, are there other people in your village?" Changsheng said embarrassedly: "There are still some relatives and family members left in my village, if the young general continues to march, I am willing to pull out the village and set up camp to follow." When Bingzhong heard this, he immediately ordered: Then according to the lord of Ai Village, the soldiers and horses will still follow you, and when you go back to straighten out your family, you will follow the team to the north and go to Henan first. After Bingzhong said this, he was about to get up and leave immediately, only to see Feng Feng Chi take a step forward and stop talking. Bingzhong knew what he was going to say, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop him. just said plainly: Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people. Ai Changsheng deeply felt his sincerity towards others, and couldn't help but bow down again to thank him for his sincerity. Bingzhong hurriedly helped him up, and blamed him again and again for not being polite.
Bingzhong led the team for about half a day, and a string of horse bells rang behind him. Looking back, it turned out that Ai Changsheng chased after him. "Report to the general, Ai Changsheng came to return to his life. Bingzhong saw that his face was covered with dust, so he nodded with satisfaction and said Let's follow! How do you know that Ai Changsheng did not retreat, and continued to speak: General, there is still a group of mountain bandits in front, but there are nearly a hundred miles away from here, and I am willing to be the leader and clear the obstacles for the general. Bingzhong saw that he was very interested, so he had to nod in agreement.
Mainly because he was evading the pursuit of the Sichuan army, he did not stop along the way. When Huang Que found that there were no pursuers, Bingzhong ordered his troops to slow down their horses. This is still a hundred miles of time to walk for a day and a night, as soon as he stepped into the realm of Huoshan Mountain, Ai Changsheng was convenient for Zhang Bingzhong to accompany him. While walking, I introduced the situation of Huoshan Mountain: Huoshan is located in the western part of Anhui Province, the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, Huoshan people are outstanding people, the humanities and history have a long history, many literati and ink writers have left exquisite chapters here, the landform characteristics are "seven mountains, one water, one field, one road and manor", the vegetation is rich, there are many species, it is a natural treasure house with a relatively complete ecosystem, vertical distribution of forest vegetation, and rich in rare species. There are mainly Tongluo Village, Yueding Tianchi, Xishan Waterfall and so on, among which the owner of Huo Cottage is called Liu Neng, who is also a local owner, who offended the government in order to report the grievances. So, I pulled up a team in the mountains. It turns out that I have had a relationship with my Yingshanzhai, so this time I want to go and say that I surrendered to him, but I don't know if the major general will agree. Bingzhong saw that he was very interested, so he readily agreed, if you accept the general, you will be allowed to set up another camp - Yingshan Camp. This is good, he originally went to ask for credit, but now he is allowed to stand on his own, and what trust is self-evident. Ai Changsheng, who was almost excited, had tears in his eyes, and he made up his mind to talk about the master of Liu Zhai in Huo Cottage.
Before I walked to the foot of Huo Mountain, I visited the Malay newspaper. Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, led his troops to take root in Henan, and was inviting heroes from all walks of life to join him, and was preparing to hold an alliance to unify the rebel forces to jointly fight against the Ming army. Zhang Bingzhong was very happy to hear that he could meet Gao Yingxiang again. When I first entered the rivers and lakes, it was rare to have such a predecessor, and such trust had today's situation. Immediately the order was given, urging the horse to go quickly.
Ai Changsheng took the lead in the forefront, and before he came to the foot of Huo Mountain, he was intercepted by Liu Neng, the owner of Huo Mountain. Ai Changsheng immediately got off the horse and explained his intention to Lord Liu, who knew that this Lord Liu was also going to participate in the alliance and went down the mountain early, but he never thought that he would meet Ai Changsheng, the master of Yingshanzhai here.
It is precisely because of the previous relationship that the two often communicate with each other, and see that Ai Changsheng is willing to work with Zhang Bingzhong to seek a living for the poor people to fight against Ming. He immediately agreed, like the lord of Ai Zhai, and was willing to carry the horse for the young general. Bingzhong saw that he was coming happily, so he also nodded and agreed, if the team expanded, you and others could set up their own camp. As soon as these words came out, they were grateful, and Liu Neng was also willing to take his family members to accompany the army. The so-called family members of these two people are essentially sons and nephews who have no daughters, just because when they rebelled, their daughters were slaughtered by the government, and they were extremely resentful in their hearts. It was precisely this point that made Zhang Bingzhong make up his mind in his heart, he must not believe in Mingjun's leniency, because this is equivalent to bullshit for both parties! The living are alive, and the dead are dead, living in this troubled world, you can only take one step at a time like this.
Most of the rebels crossed the Yellow River and headed south, joining forces at Shangqiu in Henan. Zhang Bingzhong's subordinates are all one of the thirteen families with Gao Yingxiang as the leader of the alliance, and they are called the thirteen alliances.
