As mentioned in the previous article "Before the Song River went up to Liangshan, the "Tota Heavenly King" Chao Gai already had signs of being elevated", chao gai had been partially emptied by Wu before the Song River went up the mountain. Even if Song Jiang did not go to Liangshan, it was only a matter of time before Chao Gai was elevated. If chao gai is said to be the king of tota and the top of Liangshan, why is it easy to be overtaken by his own brother leader?
Generally speaking, there are three kinds of organizations whose supreme leadership is easily overlooked: the first is a leader who has no opinion on major issues and gives up the decision-making power of the organization's future planning; the second is a leader who lacks leadership and management ability and gives up the right to build the organization's system and daily management; the third is that the network resources in the organization are not strong, and no one can help realize the leader after he has an idea.
Except for the "Arrow in Zengtou City", almost all of Liangshan's major actions were not initiated by Chao Gai, and even the "Wisdom birth anniversary" was largely "driven to the shelves" by Liu Tang, Wu Yong, and Gongsun Sheng. The key reason why Song Jiang controlled Liangshan's external conquest power was that Chao Gai himself gave up the plan of foreign conquest, and Liangshan wanted to fight who Song Jiang decided, and Liangshan's brothers naturally listened to Song Jiang.
Chao Gai went to Liangshan in the nineteenth time of the Water Margin, but Liangshan did not implement the first management reform until the forty-fourth time after the Song River ascended the mountain. Only then did Liangshan begin to transform from a bandit who occupied the mountain as the king to an organized armed separatist group, and also gave those leaders who had a skill but were not high in martial arts the opportunity to settle down on the mountain. However, Chao Gai did not participate in Liangshan's management reform at all.
As for the personal resources of the liangshan leader, Chao Gai was far inferior to Song Jiang, and even the so-called "Chao Gai faction" did not exist (for example, "Ruan's Three Xiongs" were Wu Yong's cronies). It can be said that the three characteristics of the supreme leader who are easily overlooked are all occupied by Chao Gai, and it is naturally a matter of time before he is overridden. Even without Song Jiang, Chao Gai would have been suspended by Wu Yong or Gongsun Sheng.
