"Water Margin" is one of the four famous works in China, depicting the process of one hundred and eight good men of Liangshan rebelling against the oppression of the imperial court and ultimately failing, reflecting the corrupt and backward nature of the imperial court. In the early period of the book, it is mainly based on the story of the good men of Liangshan who are righteous and thin, and the stories of the liver and gallbladder are mainly based on the tragic ending of the good men of Liangshan after Zhao'an. However, behind these good men's heroic courage is hidden an unknown power struggle, Song Jiang pushed his brothers to the road of no return for his own selfishness, Wu used a plan for power to frame Wang Lun, and the death of Chao Gai was the inevitable result of internal power contradictions.
These hidden intentions hidden under the friendship of the jianghu, once faced with the struggle for power, will naturally become a fight with teeth and claws. Was the death of Commander Chao Gai the work of Song Jiang, or was there someone else?
The death of the commander Chao Gai was killed by an army ambushed in the shadows, deeply poisoned by the arrow, the arrow is engraved with the name Shi Wengong, so why do people talk about Chao Gai's death, why would people directly attack Song Jiang?
Song Jiang was sinister and cunning, bent on promoting officials and getting rich, and going to Liangshan was only to prepare for the future of the imperial court, Song Jiang burned and looted, indiscriminately killed innocents for the purpose, he plotted to frame Lu Junyi, causing his family to die and force him to Liangshan, framed Qin Ming's entire family, in order to let Qin Ming follow him, and even knew what the battle of Fang La meant, still led his brothers to die These things Song Jiang did were only to realize his own desires.
Song Jiang had already put the position of commander in mind before he went to Liangshan, and on the surface he pretended not to be interested in the commander, but secretly laid an ambush. Chao Gai's death is too logical, Shi Wengong's crime is also too blatant, how can Shi Wengong clearly know the route of Chao Gai, and how can he accurately shoot the bow and arrow engraved with his own name on Chao Gai's body in the dark night, this is obviously a conspiracy that has been laid out for a long time.
When Chao Gai was stabbed, it was on his way to fight Zengtou City, so why did Chao Gai, who was the commander of Liangshan, personally go into battle? In fact, at this time, Liangshan had already been polarized, following Chao Gai's deathly cronies, following Song Jiang's good men, at this time Chao Gai if he did not lead the army to take back his rights, this Liangshan would one day fall back into Song Jiang's hands, but Chao Gai did not take the initiative to attack but accelerated his own death. If it wasn't Shi Wengong, then who assassinated Chao Gai? Whether it was Hua Rong, who had a high archery ability, or Zhang Shun, who ignored Chao Gai's death, or Song Jiang himself who killed him. Liangshan shang has long been fighting for power, chao gai did not have a brother willing to come out to testify against the murderer, in the face of this Liangshan is already Song Jiang's world, no one wants to be this head bird, Song Jiang also conforms to the will of the people to tell the world that the murderer is Shi Wengong.
Shi Wengong's name as a murderer is only a victim of the liangshan regime' rivalry, and since no one is willing to expose this hypocritical surface, then these good men on Liangshan are all murderers, killing people with knives or remaining silent, so the result of the Water Margin story is destined to be tragic.
