What was the biggest change Song Jiang made after he came to power in Liangshan? One was to erect a large banner with four big characters "For The Heavenly Path", and the other was to change the name of the hall, which was originally called Juyi Hall, and now it was changed to Zhongyi Hall.
These two actions represent that Song Jiang's line of moving closer to the government has matured, and the next step is to gradually persuade his brothers to accept the edict and gain a good reputation for future generations.
If Chao Gai is still the boss, Song Jiang does not even dare to mention this set, what zhongyi hall? Also for Skywalker? Oh, what The Boss Chao Gai did was to rob the rich and help the poor, drink wine and eat a large piece of meat, and when he went down to Kaifeng to take the emperor Lao Er off the throne and sit down!
One hill, two routes, fortunately, Chao Gai Chao Tianwang was killed by a poisoned arrow when attacking Zengtou City, otherwise, there would definitely be a big chaos on Liangshan.
As a reader hundreds of years later, I pondered deeply, if Chao Gai had not died, what would the story of Liangshan have developed?
We set the hypothesis that when Chao Gai attacked Zengtou City, he did not hit the arrow, but successfully took Zengtou City, hand blade Shi Wengong, and triumphantly went up Liangshan.
At this point, Liangshan has determined two factions and two routes, and although he is still called brother and brother in the chair where the righteous characters are at the head, the irreconcilable line contradictions will eventually break out.
This is like the discord between the first and second leaders of many units, and the first leader wants to do Plan A, but the ability of his cronies is almost poor. The second in command wants to do plan B more, and there are many elite soldiers under him, but the right to make the decision is in the hands of the boss, and it is also very entangled.
Once or twice, maybe the second in command will give up a lot of B-plan and seek perfection. A hand with inconvenient people, exhausted and tired to get out of Plan A. Over time, because of the difference in doctrines, one day, the two sides will no longer compromise, and a head-on conflict will break out.
Chao Gai's road of robbing the rich and helping the poor was very supported by San Ruan, Li Kui, and even Lin Chong Wusong, and although some of them had good personal relations with Song Jiang, they were related to the future and the future, and the friendship had to stand on the sidelines.
Song Jiang's bottom card, Wen has Wu Yong, Wu has Yang Zhihu Yanzhuo and other sticks of military han, as well as good men who have a skill but do not want to live in the mountains and forests, such as An Daoquan, Le He, Jin Dajian and others.
In other words, Chao Gai can get the support of the people at the bottom, and Song Jiang can win over a large number of elites.
So, the two factions fought each other, and there were only three outcomes.
First, Song Jiang defeated Chao Gai, or took his life, or Chao Gai surrendered, or went down the mountain to find another way out.
Second, Chao Gai defeated Song Jiang, together with Wu Yonghuarong and other hardcore fans under house arrest, with the character of Chao Tianwang, he would not kill Song Jiang who was benevolent to him. Then Liangshan hung up the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and continued to rob the house to drink wine and eat meat.
Third, the imperial court took advantage of the infighting between the two factions, sent people to alienate the good men of the cottage, and then took the liangshan of eight hundred miles in one fell swoop.
First of all, the first kind, killed Chao Gai, but also put the three Ruan Liu Tang and even Gongsun Sheng, who were hardcore fans of Chao Gai, together with them, San Ruan and others were good to say, the water army and Li Jun Zhang Heng, and Gongsun Sheng's monasticism was a very big blow to the strength of Song Jiang Liangshan.
Therefore, in the process of repeatedly counter-encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, Song Jiang would not win so easily. Even if you are recruited in the future, there are not many chips to negotiate the conditions.
In the second case, if Chao Gai defeated Song Jiang and continued to take the Jianghu route, he would also be under pressure from all sides. The various resistances of the generals of the imperial court, the marching and fighting will certainly not contribute. The Huarong Daizong were not reused, and Liangshan's strength would also be greatly reduced. In this way, facing Zhang Qing, Dong Ping, and Guan Sheng later, the battle was not so easy to fight.
In the third case, it is better to say that Gao Li followed the example of the Three Kingdoms Zhou Lang Chibi, sent a famous head of the forbidden army in the jianghu, the county seat, the prison city section, and the catcher to the capital, go up to Liangshan, first say to move the Song River, and then provoke Chao Gai, which can also play a catalyst effect, create two factions of fire, and then, still can not run out of the first two situations.
In the final outcome, Liangshan's strength was greatly reduced, the imperial court successfully encircled and suppressed, and Zhao'an became a suppression.
There is also a possibility that Chao Gai defeated Song Jiang, and then led a large army to directly attack the Tokyo Liang, driving the emperor Lao Er out of the tai, and adding his own yellow robe.
Unfortunately, such a day will not last too long, and soon the iron horse of the Jurchens will go south, and the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed more quickly because it does not have the rule of the head.
