What are the descriptions of gossip in Water Margin?

The author confessed that when Tong Guan was heading for Liangshan, he probably met an enemy on the ground in Jeju. At that time, Tong Guan's 100,000-strong army column marched forward, with Duan as the pioneer, Tachileik as the deputy pioneer, Xu Zhou as the deputy pioneer, Han Tianlin and Deng Zhou as the left whistle and the right whistle. This regiment consists of five teams: the front, the back, the left, the right and the middle. Each team has a lieutenant except the Chinese army.

At that time, loyalist met sentinel horses led by Zhang, Gong Wang and Ding Desun. Although there were only more than 30 riders, they whistled three times in a row. Then, the loyalist met 500 infantry vanguard troops of Fan Rui and Li Bao, covered by rattan cards. Under the impact of the officers and men, the 500 people walked down the mountain separately.

Tong Guan's army drove out of the mountain pass, saw the empty terrain ahead, and first laid a "four-door bucket bottom array" to turn the marching formation into a battle formation.

After Tong Guan lined up, the military forces of Liangshan Brigade were immediately killed. They also went through a process of discovering the enemy and turning the marching formation into a fighting formation. The former has been explained by ZQQ and Li Kui jy, while the latter is seen in Tong Guan's eyes. At that time, Liangshan military forces came in two columns. The first team in Dongshan played red flags, the second team played miscellaneous colored flags, the third team played green flags, and the fourth team played miscellaneous colored flags. Xishan No.1 team played miscellaneous colored flags, No.2 team played white flags, No.3 team played miscellaneous colored flags, and No.4 team played soap flags. Behind it are yellow flags and horses.

There is no specific explanation for the formation process, but from the comparison of the flag color sequence of the two columns and the flag color of the later Bagua array, this process is not complicated. The two columns are a set of solid color flags and a set of variegated flags staggered, while Dongshan column 1 is a solid color flag and Xishan column 1 is a variegated flag, which shows that the order of expanding into Bagua array has been preset in the arrangement of columns. The east and west armies are probably divided according to the ugliness in gossip, which is similar to the so-called 1.7 position, which is what Li Jing said.

According to this principle, Dongshan No.4 Team will be launched in four directions: due south, southeast, due east and northeast, and Xishan No.4 Team will be launched in four directions: southwest, due west, northwest and due north. How the Yellow Flag Army at the back entered the middle and became China's army is not explained in the article, but it is likely that two columns crossed between them when they arched.

After becoming a battle formation, the formation like gossip is completely presented.

Due south is the former army, that is, the former Dongshan No.1 team, with red flags and red armor, and the southern bucket is embroidered with a banner in the shape of a six-star suzaku. The main commander is Qin Ming from Thunderstorm, and the deputy commanders are Shan Tingjue and Wei Dingguo.

On the southeast phalanx, that is, the original Dongshan Second Team, there are green flags and red armor, and the banner of haiku is embroidered. The main commander is Dong Ping, a general with two arms, and the lieutenants are Ou Peng and Deng Fei.

Due east is Zuo Jun, the original Dongshan No.3 Team, with green flags and green armor. The flag is embroidered with the shape of a four-star fight and a dragon. Guan Sheng, the commanding general, and Xuan Zan and Hao, the deputy commanders.

On the northeast square, that is, the original Dongshan No.4 team, the soap flag is green and the banner is embroidered. The main commander is Shi Jin, nine dragons, and the deputy commanders are Yang Chun.

On the southwest phalanx, that is, the first team of Xishan, there are red flags and white armor embroidered with the banner of Kun Gua. The main commander is Suochao, a deep-water bomb, and the deputy commanders are Yan Shun and Ma Lin.

Just to the west is the right-wing army, that is, the original Xishan Second Team, with white flags and white armor, embroidered with a banner in the shape of a five-star white tiger. The main commander is Lin Chong, the leopard head, and the deputy commanders are Huang Xin and Sun Li.

On the northwest phalanx, that is, the original Xishan Third Team, there are white flags and black armor, and the big flags are embroidered with dry hexagrams. The main commander is Yang Zhi, a green-faced beast, and the assistants are Yang Lin and Zhou Tong.

Due north is the rear army, that is, the original Xishan No.4 team, with black armor and black flag, embroidered with the shape of the Big Dipper and Xuanwu. The main commanders are Shuang Bian and Hu Yanzhuo, and the deputy commanders are Han Tao and Ni Peng.

The structure of the Eight Arrays around here is obviously dominated by four directions, supplemented by four corners, because the commanders of the four directions all belong to the Five Tiger Generals, and among the four corners, only Dong Ping is the Tiger Admiral, and the other three are a title of generals in ancient times. According to Li Zhi's "The enemy of God is too white and silent":

Heaven, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird and snake represent eight directions, and the celestial array is Tianmen. The ground array is located in Kun, which is the underground gate. The wind array is the air door. Cloud array in the ridge, for the cloud gate. Dragonfly lives in an earthquake, and it is a dragonfly gate. Tiger wings are exchanging, which is the tiger wing door. The birds flew away. They flew to the door for the birds. The snake lives at the root, and the door is flat. Heaven, earth, wind and clouds are four positive, while dragons, tigers, birds and snakes are four strange.

Anyway, Qin Ming, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and Hu are soldiers, while Dong Ping, Shi Jin and Yang Zhi are Indiana Jones.

The situation in Zhong Jun is more complicated, with a triple structure. The outermost layer is centered on Huangxingqi, the middle layer is centered on Qi Shuai, and the innermost layer is the headquarters. Zhu Tong and Lei Heng led Zhong Jun to form the outermost protective net, and they met round by round, all with apricot yellow flags, with sixty-four hexagrams and long foot flags.

The array gate is also divided into four, each guarded by a special person. The East Gate is the Empress, the South Gate is Song Wan, the West Gate is Zheng Tianshou, and the North Gate is Xue Yong, all of which belong to leaders with mediocre martial arts. Inside the south gate is the apricot yellow flag, which is guarded by four soldiers led by Bao Si. Followed by artillery, under the command of Thunder and Ling Zhen, responsible for more than 20 gunners. Behind it is a layer of grasper, which is used to capture the enemy generals alive.

What constitutes the security force between the outer layer and the middle layer is the seven-layer fencer under a circle of variegated flags, with 28 flags erected on all sides and a handsome flag in the middle. The flag bearer is the faceless Jiao Ting. The flag-protecting warriors on both sides of Qi Shuai are Kong Ming and Kong Liang, who are called flag-protecting warriors in Sun Tzu's Art of War by Li Jing. They lead 24 armored soldiers with hammers. Behind these two teams are twenty-four soldiers armed with Tian Fang's halberd, led by Lv Fang and Guo Sheng respectively.

The security forces between the middle and inner layers are infantry led by Jie Zhen Xie Bao. Into this layer, began to have civil servants, one is Xiao Rang, one is Pei Xuan, respectively, responsible for the documents and official duties. After the two, there were twenty-four purple clothes sacrificial sons and twenty-four Mazha swordsmen, led by Cai Fu and Cai Qing, who were responsible for the execution. Behind the law enforcement officers is the last layer of security line, consisting of 24 gold gunmen and silver gunmen led by Huarong and Xu Ning.

After this last line of defense is the headquarters, with the prodigal son Dai Zong who can quickly transmit information and the prodigal son Yan Qing who can do confidential tasks. There are three umbrellas lined up inside, with Wu Yong on the left, Gongsun Sheng on the right, and the coach Song Jiang in the middle. Behind Song Jiang is a 35-member tooth general and a 24-angle golden drum, which is the decision-making information center of the whole army.

Behind the headquarters are two brigades, each with 1500 horse infantry. The left team is led by Mu Chun and the right team is led by Liu Tang and Tao. After the second array, there was a group of "Yin soldiers" composed of 2,000 troops, led by Hu Sanniang, Gu Dasao and Sun Erniang, followed by their husbands and Sun Xinhe.
