In the Water Margin, there were three leaders in Liangshan, Wang Lun, Chao Gai and Song Jiang. As the boss of Liangshan, they all had a lot of supporters under them, but unfortunately, they were all killed by others. They each had three major confidants, so why did no one avenge them after they were killed?
1. Wang Lun
Wang Lun was the first leader of Liangshan, with 3 leaders under him, Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui. Lin Chong was framed by Gao Li's father and son, and after being cornered, he also came to Liangshan. Lin Chong was a criminal in the imperial court or an enemy of Tai Wei Gao, and Wang Lun was afraid that Lin Chong would invite the imperial court to suppress him, and did not dare to take him in. At the same time, Wang Lun and his subordinates Du Qian and others were all people with mediocre abilities, and they did not have the ability to control Lin Chong, a top master. After Lin Chong went to Liangshan, Wang Lun tried his best to make things difficult for him, wanting Lin Chong to retreat and leave Liangshan.
Lin Chong had nowhere to go, he could only swallow his anger and insist on staying in Liangshan, but it also made Lin Chong bury resentment and dissatisfaction with Wang Lun in his heart.
Soon after, chao gai's 8 people robbed the birthday gang and was known to the government. In order to avoid disaster, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, and San Ruan fled to Liangshan. Chao Gai's prestige was very high because of his good charity, and the skills of the seven of them were also above Wang Lun. Wang Lun was not qualified to be their boss. Wang Lun was also worried that the seven doves of Chao Gai would occupy the magpie's nest and rob him of Liangshan, so he was reluctant to take in the seven people of Chao Gai.
Wang Lun wanted to give Chao Gai a few people some silver and send them away from Liangshan. Chao Gai and others had just robbed the 100,000 birthday class, and there was no shortage of this little money, they had come to Liangshan to avoid trouble, and naturally they did not want to leave Liangshan. In order to stay in Liangshan, Wu deliberately provoked Lin Chong with words, which ignited the anger in Lin Chong's heart, and he killed Wang Lun and supported Chao Gai to become the leader of Liangshan. Wang Lun's three henchmen, Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Guiwugong, could not defeat Lin Chong together, not to mention Chao Gai and others. In order to save their lives, they did not dare to take revenge.
Second, chao cover
On Liangshan, Gongsun Sheng is a member of Chao Gai's "Seven Stars", but he is otherworldly and not Chao Gai's confidant. Lin Chong helped Chao Gai become the leader of Liangshan, but Chao Gai did not regard him as his confidant. Chao Gai has three confidants, namely San Ruan, Liu Tang and Wu Yong.
Chao Gai was the leader of Liangshan, but after the Song River ascended to Liangshan, his prestige and merit surpassed him, which threatened Chao Gai's position as the leader. In order to increase his prestige in Liangshan, Chao Gai decided to seize the meritorious service and stabilize his position as the leader, so he led people to attack Zengtou City.
During the confrontation with Zengtou City, Chao Gai made a meritorious contribution, fell into the enemy's plan, and was eventually shot and killed in the confusion. One of Chao Gai's confidants, Wu Yong, and Chao Gai are from the same village, and they are also small, and the two should have a deep affection, but Wu Yong is a delicate egoist. During the infighting between Song Jiang and Chao Gai, Wu Yong saw that Chao Gai was not Song Jiang's opponent, and for his own benefit, he quickly betrayed Chao Gai and fell to Song Jiang. Wu Yong helps Song Jiang deal with Chao Gai, indicating that he does not have much affection for Chao Gai, and he is very interested in avenging Chao Gai.
San Nguyen and Liu Tang have always been loyal to Chao Gai. Who killed Chao Gai is a mystery of the Water Margin. On the arrow that shot Chao Gai, there was Shi Wengong's name, and Song Jiang determined that the murderer was Shi Wengong. Shi Wengong is a super master, and San Ruan and Liu Tang are not his opponents, nor can they avenge him. Fortunately, Lu Junyi helped Liang Shansheng capture Shi Wengong and avenged Chao Gai's revenge. If the murderer was someone else, San Ruan and Liu Tang could not find out.
3. Song Jiang
Song Jiang led his brothers to recruit the imperial court, but he was not the same as Cai Jing, Gao Qi, and others, and they could not tolerate the Song Jiang and Liangshan brothers.
After recruiting An, Cai Jing and others came up with a strategy of "fighting anti-thieves against thieves", and let Liangshan fight with Tian Hu, Fang La and other anti-thieves, resulting in 10 Liangshan brothers dying of illness, 59 brothers killed in battle, and more than half of them were killed and injured. They also refused to let Liangshan go, and poisoned Song Jiang and Lu Junyi.
Song Jiang is very prestigious in the rivers and lakes, and many brothers on Liangshan are only on Liangshan because they admire Song Jiang, so in Liangshan, Song Jiang has many supporters. Among these supporters, the three most loyal confidants to Song Jiang were Li Kui, Song Qing, and Hua Rong.
Li Kui was a reckless man in the Water Margin, or an evil man, for the sake of Song Jiang, he went up the sword mountain and down to the sea of fire, and his eyes would not blink. When Song Jiang was beheaded by the imperial court for writing anti-poetry, he alone carried a large axe to save Song Jiang. If he learned that someone had killed Song Jiang, he would avenge Song Jiang no matter who his opponent was and how much he would have to pay. Song Jiang knew Li Kui and knew that after he was poisoned and killed, he would rebel and avenge himself. For the sake of Liangshan's reputation and for the sake of his brothers who were still alive, song Jiang drank poisonous wine, called Li Kui to his side, and also let him drink poisonous wine. Shortly after Song Jiang's death, Li Kui also died, and there was no way to avenge him.
Hua Rong and Song Jiang are old acquaintances. After Song Jiang's death, Tuo Meng gave Hua Rong and Wu Yong, and the two came to find Song Jiang together. After Hua Rong knew that Song Jiang had been poisoned, he did not try to avenge Song Jiang, but left his wife and children, committed suicide with Wu Yong, and followed Song Jiang away.
Song Qing was Song Jiang's younger brother, and he had no martial arts himself, no skills, no ability to fight against Cai Jing and other powerful people. After his brother was killed, he chose to resign his official post and return to his hometown and live the life of a common man. He did not dare to avenge Song Jiang, nor did he have the ability to avenge Song Jiang.
