Secretary He also said before leaving, if Brother Lian Tianzhai intended to fight the enemy together, he sent someone to the county office to find him on the morning of the third day, and after thinking about it, it was decided that Wang Xinghui, Uncle Yi and Huwa would stay in the cottage, Du Gang insisted on going to the Han'an County Office to find Secretary He in person, and Uncle Yi had to put on a felt hat for him and said: "Your bald head is too eye-catching." As soon as Du Gang left, Uncle Yi instructed Wang Xinghui to bring a few people, and then followed in case of accidents.

On the morning of the third day, Du Gang found the Han'an County Office, the gendarmes at the door went in to report, not long after, a car drove out of the office, and the horn was screaming, Du Gang thought he was telling him to give way, the car stopped, the door opened, and a man wearing glasses and a Western-style jacket walked down and held Du Gang's hand: "The master of Du Zhai really came single-handedly, admirable, come, go, get in the car, I will take you to see the county magistrate to ......"

Du Gang shook off his hand and squinted at him: "Eh, this brother, who are you?" The man took off his glasses, and Du Gang recognized it, it was Secretary He, Du Gang said: "Secretary He, you are dressed like this, but it is very eye-catching, I can't recognize you." Secretary He smiled, and pulled him into the car, with the foreshadowing of the last meeting, this time the two got a lot closer, Du Gang still looked sideways from head to toe: "I said, is the current master wearing this dress to sit in the yamen?" Secretary He said: "Yes, yes, this is the national ** new official uniform, and after the master of Du Zhai accepts the reorganization, even if he wears this dress." ”

Du Gang took a car for the first time, felt much faster than the carriage, he quietly touched the cushion with his hand, soft and slippery, he looked around for a while, and did not understand how the coachman in front of him drove this foreign guy, he grew up working in Hu Guiquan's yard since he was a child, and rarely entered the county, after occupying the Tianshan Mountain, and Han'an County became a rival, and did not dare to enter the city easily, counting him into Han'an County only more than ten times. He was afraid of Secretary He's jokes, coughed, and asked, "I said, where are we going?" Secretary He said: "Didn't you say okay? I will take you to see the county magistrate, I have reported to the county magistrate, and said that you, the people of the county are the most important, and you are willing to accept the reorganization and resist the strong enemy together." ”

Du Gang said: "Wait, I said okay, we can't even separate the brothers of Tianzhai, but you promised me......" Secretary He: "Promised, promised, rest assured, pay salaries according to the capitation settlement every month!"

Du Gang was overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly wanted to laugh, so he hurriedly said: "This county magistrate is not sitting in the county office, where does he live?" Secretary He said: "Oh, the county magistrate is worshipping in the church!"

This was the first time Du Gang had heard this word, and Secretary He also told him a lot of Christian knowledge along the way, and talked about the sects in the world, with the largest number of Bodhisattva Buddhism and Christianity worshipping God worshipping God.

Du Gang didn't understand why County Magistrate Li chose to see him in the church, but he saw that Secretary He said so mysteriously, and County Magistrate Li was just on a row of benches in the church, listening to him briefly introduce the situation of Lian Tianzhai and accept the request for reorganization, after sincerely saying a few words of agreement and thanks, he handed over to Secretary He to arrange the specific matters of the next reorganization, Du Gang was a little angry in his heart, he thought that this County Magistrate Li was too calm and cold, and he looked down on Lian Tianzhai. Thanks to Secretary He's explanation on the side for a long time, he reluctantly accepted County Magistrate Li's statement that it was because a sacred place like a church should not be loud and noisy, so it turned into a bland statement.

The two came out of the church, and Secretary He arranged Du Gang to be in the guest house of the county government and drank wine for seven or eight days. After Secretary He went to complete the registration of money and grain in Liantianshan and the establishment of people and horses, and gave Du Gang an official document stamped with the Southwest Administration of the Republic of China, the matter was completed. Since then, Liantianzhai has officially become the armed force of the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army under the command of the National ** in Guangzhou.

Secretary He put on the uniform for Du Gang, and brought a tall horse, Du Gang brandished the war knife equipped with the horse, and ran back and forth a few times. Secretary He took him to various organs in the county to visit and get acquainted, and unconsciously half a month later, Du Gang thought to himself, the matter of eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king, on this day, Secretary He asked Secretary He to convey to the county magistrate Li: I am willing to turn back to Liantianzhai to mobilize people and horses, cross the river and retreat from the enemy. County Magistrate Li was already anxious, Guo Xunqi's vanguard had been stationed in Jiangbei for many days, and he had to cross the river just waiting for a reply. Seeing that Du Gang asked for battle, he hurriedly agreed, and asked someone to bring the weapons and clothing he was equipped with, loaded two trucks with a truck, and went around Liantian Mountain with Du Gang. Wang Xing was very happy to see Du Gang safe and sound, and returned with a full load, and the two turned back together.

Before leaving, County Magistrate Li gave Du Gang a short gun and delivered a sincere speech: "I hope that the lord of Du Zhai will go here, live up to the trust of the party and the state, exert the power of the sky, stop the death of the war, and save the people of the city from hanging upside down." ”

Du Gang returned to the cottage, reorganized the team, left 500 people and Uncle Yi and Huwa to stay in the cottage together, picked up 3,000 people, and Wang Xinghui together, and went down the mountain, Deng Jinfan prepared wine and meat in Banqiao Hotel, everyone had a big meal, and headed north, Uncle Yi couldn't be dissuaded, and his heart was anxious. Along the way, where have the people seen such a formation, they all leaned on the door to watch, Du Gang and Wang Xing would ride on horses, full of spirit. Walk to two kilometers away from the county seat, the army set up camp, the city has already seen, Secretary He then, with a truck to pull a cart of rice noodles, two pigs, reward the three armies, the troops to the south bank of the Yangtze River, the opposite bank of the shadow is full of shadows, the voice of the people is boiling, Du Gang sent people to guard the ferry, dig down fortifications along the river, line up the men and horses along the river, and Guo Xunqi's vanguard across the river to confront, Li County Magistrate in the name of Guangzhou national ** will not be allowed to adjust the telegram to the Tang division commander army, bring people back to the city, close the city gate.

As early as half a month before Guo Xunqi arrived in Jiangbei, the residents on the north bank of the Yangtze River received a pre-war warning in Han'an County, which inevitably left the other party with the handle of open confrontation. The guards beat gongs and drums to inform them from door to door, most of the villagers have packed up and gone to the south bank to take refuge, only one surnamed Zhao and one surnamed Zhu are rich, the family is big, and they can't move out in a hurry, so they have to send the female dependents and men to live with relatives in Han'an County.

That day, after the Hu family's dependents and Lei Degui were driven away from Liantian Mountain by Du Gang and others, they naturally defected to Guo Xunqi's brigade headquarters in Fushun, Hu Guiquan cried all the way, Guo Xunqi was also quite angry, even the Tianshan Mountain terrain was dangerous, and he guarded the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou into Shu, he had long had the intention to treat it as a painstaking management of the rear, so as to keep it as the political capital for him to compete with others in the political arena, and specially arranged for his henchmen to be captains and company commanders to assist in the defense, but he didn't expect to let a group of Diao people take it away. Lei Degui was still angry about Wang Lingji's transfer of bamboo, and explained the causes and consequences of the riot to Guo Xunqi, and said: "I think this matter has nothing to do with Brigade Commander Wang, if he hadn't deceived people too much and pressed too hard, we wouldn't have rushed to work day and night, which angered the bandits." ”

Han'an County is the residence of Wang Lingji, Guo Xunqi was helpless, had to keep this debt in mind temporarily, the intervention of the people of Guangzhou, so that all the forces in central Sichuan are facing a new situation, the first ten years of the establishment of the Republic of China, whether it is Mr. Sun, or the president of Yuan Datou, Cao Kun, Prime Minister Duan Qirui can not mobilize all the people in Sichuan, but where there is an official document, the Sichuan army Liu Governor army is tired in Yizhou, lack of money and food, and all over Sichuan, there are many bandits, and also need a critical embankment to prevaricate. Governor Liu's army must listen to the opinion of one of his office directors surnamed Yang in all major military affairs, in the words of this Director Yang: "This is easy to do, whoever wants to transfer our troops, we will ask him for food, and the soldiers and horses will go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the money and food will not be available, and it will be difficult for the men and horses to walk." "Governor Liu's nephew's power is getting stronger and stronger, and he is unwilling to be controlled by Governor Liu's army everywhere, so he took the lead in showing goodwill to Guangzhou, opening up Yibin and other places in southern Sichuan to accept the first batch of county magistrates appointed by the Guangzhou National ** Southwest Travel Agency, and Li County Magistrate of Han'an County is one of them.

Not long after the arrival of these county magistrates, Division Commander Tang once said to his subordinate generals: "As the saying goes, day and night defense, it is difficult to prevent thieves, Liu Xiang betrayed my territory in central Sichuan to show favor to Guangzhou, hoping to use the power of Guangzhou to restrain his uncle, and he is bound to make a mistake and become hated for thousands of years." Wang Lingji wants to follow Liu Xiang to the dark, we are close at hand, we can't sit back and watch other people's forces insert into our territory, we have to find an excuse to take Han'an County. ”

Guo Xunqi thought that the opportunity for revenge had come, and he immediately answered: " I heard that there is a group of bandits in the south of Han'an County, even the Tianshan Mountain, occupying the mountain as the king, harassing the good people, why don't we ask the general for life, just say that the army is sent to levy Liantian Mountain, even Tianshan is ten miles to Xingwen County, General Fu Wei and Cai Yi have a bad relationship, the world knows, Cai Ye belongs to a group of people, we have been driven to Yunnan, only the surname Lu is still entrenched in Xingwen and other places, as long as the Liantian Mountain is taken, the entire Xingwen County is under the nose, the general must approve us to send troops, when the time comes, the soldiers to Han'an County, I think this new county magistrate can not shirk, and so he opens the city to meet, we have a hand to take the sheep, is it not a matter of course, hand to takeHis thoughts can be described as killing three birds with one stone, and they were all guessed by Secretary He. Guo Xunqi thought to himself, as long as Han'an County is included in the sphere of influence of Senior Commander Tang, a small one can escape from the palm of my hand!

Sure enough, everything was expected by Guo Xunqi, after General Fu Wei's approval, Guo Xunqi couldn't wait to volunteer to act as the vanguard of the front, he took the money sent by the two masters of the Zhao family and the Zhu family to please the money, and put the brigade headquarters into the Zhu family compound, and ordered the troops to line up, the north bank of Chen Bing, and the entire Han'an County was in front of him. Like a farmer looking at his own land, he said earnestly: "Good thief, there is a thief, at least it proves that there is surplus grain in the warehouse!"

After receiving Division Commander Tang's order to start the war, it was half a month later, and there was only one word on Division Commander Tang's order: "Fight!" From this categorical word, it can also be seen that Division Commander Tang was completely enraged. Division Commander Tang was originally reluctant to tear his face and start a war, but he didn't expect Han'an County to not give face, not only did he not give face, but also delayed with the snake for a month, the adjutant said: "It seems that Han'an County has seen through our intentions, we are in a delaying tactic, he must be on ......guard at this moment" Division Commander Tang crumpled the telegram from Han'an County that was not allowed to adjust the defense, and slammed it to the ground: "The land of small projectiles, no relatives and no reason, There are no more than 100 guns, even if you are prepared, tell Xun Cai, beat him hard for me, and limit him to take Han'an County within a month. ”

The two armies confronted each other for a month, sporadically took over a few battles, both sides had injuries, Du Gang and Wang Xinghui had no way to retreat, anxious, at noon on this day, Wang Xinghui had just gone to the city to transport grain back, the soldiers were holding guns and napping, suddenly "dong dong" When the cannon sounded, everyone hurriedly watched, a small boat upstream went downstream, the waves splashed next to the boat, and a young man rowing the boat had no hair on his head, wearing a straight jacket, he was a small novice monk, thinking that he did not know that the two armies were fighting here, and strayed into the position, and then saw the cannon fire on the north bank, and hurriedly rowed the boat to the south bank.

The south shore saw it clearly, and the cannon fire stopped when the boat was out of range. The little monk jumped out of the boat, and without saying a word, helped an old man out of the cabin, carried him on his shoulder, and walked to the shore. The old man was bleeding from his feet, thinking that he had just been in the boat and had been injured by the cannon wind. Du Gang ordered the soldiers to catch it, and when he asked, it turned out that the old man was the abbot of the nearby Qingfeng Temple, Monk Guangzhi. Du Gang has lived in southern Sichuan for a long time, and knows that the monk Guangzhi is accumulating virtue and doing good deeds in the local area, and the people nearby respect him very much. Du Gang hurriedly asked someone to bandage his wounds, Wang Xinghui called someone to prepare a vegetarian banquet, and the little monk devoured it and ate three bowls of rice and five steamed buns.

Guangzhi was old and bloody, and the wound on his leg was bleeding a lot, but he still couldn't get up, Wang Xinghui would bring a small bowl and personally deliver the porridge water to Guangzhi's mouth. Guangzhi asked the little monk to kowtow and thank, Wang Xinghui hurriedly stopped, Du Gang said: "Qingfeng Temple is a famous temple, the master is a living Bodhisattva here, Shi Fu Hua water, save the suffering, who doesn't know? ”

Guangzhi was stunned, was silent for a while, and said: "The general has the heart to benefit the people, which is a great merit, but I want to ask the general, what should happen after the unification of Sichuan?"

Du Gang said: "I live here, only ask for a side of peace, people do not offend me, I do not offend people, if you can unify Sichuan, it is already a great blessing, do not dare to do him again, now Zigong people and horses are in the border, we have no way to retreat, the master lives here, I don't know if there is a good way to tell?"

Guangzhi smiled slightly, the river wind blew, the trees on the shore rattled, he pointed to a ginkgo tree and said: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the general please look at the leaves on the tree, the wind passes, some of the leaves fall on the avenue, some fall in the gutter, the way back is different, but they all fall because of the wind." ”

Du Gang didn't know how to answer, Guangzhi said again: "The world is all leaves on a tree, and they will eventually turn into dust. Guangzhi clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name silently, ignored Du Gang, turned his head slightly and said to the little monk: "Tongguang, what do you think?"

The little monk named Tongguang replied, "Master, I wanted to be a leaf and wait for the four seasons to reincarnate, but I didn't know where the wind came from; ”

Guangzhi nodded slightly. Du Gang saw the master and apprentice answering each other, put him aside, between the words, as if the words were quite contemptuous, the corners of his mouth were slightly deflated, and his heart was not happy, but after thinking about it, a thought suddenly came to his mind, he explained that Wang Xing would hold the position, not act rashly, help Guangzhi, led by the little monk, and secretly came to Qingfeng Temple. Along the way, I saw the little monk, carrying Guangzhi on his back, walking like flying, walking for three miles, without resting, Du Gang secretly applauded.

It turned out that Du Gang had a strange dream last night, dreaming that he was sitting in a sedan chair, carried by four people, swaggering into the county seat, and the people on both sides of the strait welcomed him. He secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he didn't dare to assert that the dream master was auspicious, so he wanted to come to Qingfeng Temple to ask God for divination. He played three trigrams, and the hexagrams were all shun hexagrams, and he shook the lot, took the signature, and asked Guangzhi to crack it. Guangzhi is grateful to Du Gang for saving him once, but he does not agree that he participates in this dispute of separation, and knows that this person has a normal heart, and he expects that he is incapable of how to enlighten and cannot be enlightened.

Du Gang stood aside, and asked out loud: "Please ask the master for advice, how is the hexagram elephant! In this confrontation, what is the master Ji Ji?" Guangzhi didn't want to make perfunctory remarks, so he had to feel it, and said a few words, he folded his hands and said:

"The mud ox roars on the water, the Trojan horse hisses in the wind, and there is nothing outside, all of which are born from the heart. With that, he closed his eyes.

Where did Du Gang know what Guangzhi was thinking, he said while thinking about it: "Oh, the mud cow enters the water, then Guo Xunqi's cannonball hits the water and can't hit the shore, isn't it the mud cow that enters the water, and what is nothing, what is chasing the wind, doesn't this mean that Guo Xunqi will disappear in the near future and disappear with the wind?" Du Gang didn't care either, he felt that he was a sign, and returned to the front line satisfied.

Things in the world, there is such a coincidence, at dusk that night, Jiang'an was blowing the south wind, the other side was full of people, and soon the troops retreated, Du Gang stood on a high place, took out a telescope to take a closer look, only to see the opposite troops retreating all the way north, going farther and farther, until it was getting late, had walked cleanly, and could not see a person. Du Gang laughed loudly: "Go with the wind, isn't this going with the wind! Wonderful, wonderful! Qingfeng Temple really has some fame." Wang Xinghui and the three thousand soldiers of Tianzhai also thundered.

There are still two miles away from the city, the county magistrate Li took Secretary He and a cadre to greet him, set off firecrackers all the way, the people were happy, Du Gang rode on a horse and led the troops into the city, thinking about last night's dream, his heart was full of ambition, and he had reached the peak.

County Magistrate Li held a feast in the city to celebrate for three days, Du Gang talked about the matter of asking hexagrams in Qingfeng Temple, and County Magistrate Li hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, hurry, there is such a miracle thing, quickly prepare incense, candles, money paper, let's go to Qingfeng Temple to worship the Buddha." ”

Du Gang drank slightly, strode on the mountain road, Secretary He of County Magistrate Li accompanied each other on the left and right, more than 20 relatives followed, carried livestock tribute, paper horse incense candles walked in front, Wang Xinghui took a few brothers, far behind, and the group came to Qingfeng Mountain. At this time, there was a lot of noise in front, the team stopped, and Secretary He asked: "What's the matter?" Why did it stop, what happened to the front?" ”

At this time, County Magistrate Li also took advantage of the spirit of alcohol to push aside the crowd, pulled out a short gun, and fired twice into the sky. The monkeys are the most impatient, and they will take revenge on the spot if they have a vengeance, and at this moment the monkeys were frightened, and they retreated slightly, and immediately screamed and surrounded them from all sides, grinning their teeth, and their expressions were even more fierce, as if they were going to devour a dry of people alive. County Magistrate Li was taken aback and was completely drunk. The group gradually retreated back to back, and only two people in the entourage carried guns, which would be overwhelming. Wang Xinghui rushed forward with a few brothers to drive him away, but he didn't dare to shoot, and after a while, he was surrounded by a group of monkeys.

Seeing that everyone didn't know how to end, Du Gang was drunk and didn't know the fear, he separated the crowd, stood forward, and scolded: "Damn the monkey, when you see the owner of the village, you won't retreat." At this time, a strange thing happened, when the group of monkeys saw Du Gang, their faces froze, and they screamed and fled as if they were greatly frightened. One of the monkey kings ran to the middle of the road, bowed four times with both hands, whistled, and led the monkeys to scatter.

Du Gang was stunned, drunk and didn't know what was going on, but he was stunned and amazed by County Magistrate Li, Secretary He and others, and Wang Xinghui didn't know why. After being stunned for a while, County Magistrate Li led everyone to bow down and said: "It turns out that the master of Du Zhai is really a god and a man, and even the beasts are afraid to worship, presumably he has the air of a king, and his future will be unlimited, no wonder this time he succeeded and saved the people of Han Safe City, please accept my wait!"

Du Gang was in a daze, and when he saw that County Magistrate Li and others were so respectful, he was extremely happy, and he laughed loudly, and the laughter was like a strange scream, drifting away to the sky for a long time. The twenty people present at this incident all saw it, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the world would have believed that it was just a legend, but so many people saw it, and no one could not believe it. What you see with your own eyes will be praised, even Wang Xinghui later had many times with the brothers of Lian Tianshan about Du Gang's "manifestation", in addition to the manifestation, Wang Xinghui could not find a more suitable word to describe the situation at that time, and then a ten, ten to a hundred, soon spread in the whole county - even Tianshan produced a true son of heaven, is the Monkey King appeared, led 3,000 warriors to drive away the 30,000 troops of the Tang Division, even the hundred beasts saw all bowed, since then the people of the city have respected Lian Tianshan as a god.

In fact, at that time, there was another person at the scene in his eyes, he was the little monk Tongguang, he was chopping wood nearby, heard the gunshots here, hurriedly came, just witnessed all the passages, he saw that everyone did not know why, and saw Du Gang get carried away, laughed for a while, and did not want to break it, and walked away by himself.

It turns out that Guangzhi monk is very benevolent, usually treat the birds and beasts on the mountain are doubly cared for, there are often wild dogs and wild cats come to the temple to steal food, Guangzhi can not bear to hurt and disperse, willing the monks in the temple are not enough to eat, but also half of the feed to the group of beasts, over time, the beasts in the mountains have respect for Guangzhi, among which the monkey is the smartest, the monkey every time he sees Guangzhi worship in front of the Buddha, he actually learns to do it, Guangzhi leads to strange things, often gives more food to the monkeys who worship the Buddha as a reward, since then this group of monkeys is very respectful to the Bodhisattva Buddha statue and Guangzhi master and apprentice, there is a monkey king, and even often sit aside to accompany Guangzhi when meditating and chanting。 This group of monkeys stood in the way this day, robbing the tribute, because only Du Gang was bald in the group, as soon as he stood up, the monkeys naturally thought that Du Gang was a group of Bodhisattva monks, so they immediately got out of the way. Tongguang followed Guangzhi in the temple for a few years, few believers on the mountain came with so many tributes, so many monkeys surrounded and grabbed tributes, although there was no precedent, but the group of monkeys to worship the Buddha and the monks, he had already seen no surprise. Of course he knew why.

Tongguang was sent to the temple by his parents to become a monk since he was a child, he couldn't eat enough food, he didn't have enough clothes, he saw that Du Gang and Wang Xinghui saved his master and apprentice, and he had a good feeling, and wanted to beg him to stay in the army to serve, and since then he has a place to settle down. Not long after, the monk Guangzhi passed away, with the light to bury the master's body, the heart of a side, left the Qingfeng Temple, out of Sichuan, in Henan Shaolin Temple to settle down, later the Red Army occupied the whole territory of Henan, he threw himself into the four front army to serve, starting from an ordinary Red Army soldier, successively served as a squad leader, platoon leader, battalion commander...... , he fought bravely, made countless contributions, and was invincible in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, which made the opponent fearful. He was the founding general who later became the chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army - General Xu Shiyou.

As for the group of monkeys, later the Central Plains War broke out, and then the iron-blooded Sichuan army went north and south out of Sichuan to resist the Japanese, and the war finally spread to the entire Sichuan border, and when the middle of Sichuan was peaceful, it was already decades later on the eve of liberation in 1949, this group of monkeys hid in the deep mountains and old forests, but it was more peaceful than the thousands of displaced people in the world. To this day, the monkeys in the area of Zhuhai and Mount Emei in Shunan, Sichuan, when they see tourists coming, will still come forward to block the road and beg for food, but they only do not grab their bald heads, which is from this.
