In "Water Margin", Song Jiang can be said to be an official fan, and everything he does is for himself to be an official. Therefore, after Liangshan became the leading brother, Song Jiang trained Liangshan's military horses, and achieved a great record of two wins and three defeats in the process of confrontation with the imperial court, and all of this Song Jiang's purpose was to get capital for Liangshan after all, and he could have the ability to bargain with the imperial court. Isn't that a good saying: "You have to be an official, kill people and set fires to be recruited." Zhuangzi once said, "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished." If you want to do these things, you have to do a big job, so that you will have a chance to ascend to the throne. So after Song Jiang achieved brilliant achievements in Liangshan, he chose to formally bargain with the imperial court, and the whole gang was recruited. In fact, before this, Song Jiang had taken action in this regard, and even found a relationship with Master Li, and caught up with Song Huizong through Master Li.
After receiving Zhao'an, Song Jiang and others were ordered to fight in the south and the north, destroyed Wang Qing and Tian Hu, and even led the army to break through the Great Liao and fight Youzhou, but Gao Yu and Cai Jing in the court always couldn't tolerate Liangshan and his people, and they were constrained everywhere, and later Song Jiang finally led the army south to conquer Fang La. It turned out that Song Jiang and others conquered Wang Qing, Tian Hu and Zhipo Daliao, how many people went and how many people returned, but when they conquered Fangla, they lost their troops and lost their generals, and more than half of the one hundred and eight generals died, and when they finally returned to the dynasty after the battle, there were only thirty-six people left. Among these 36 people, in the process of returning to the teacher, Lu Zhishen passed away, Lin Chongfeng was paralyzed, Yang Xiong died of back sores, and Wu Song stayed in Hangzhou to take care of Lin Chong because he broke a hand, and finally only 27 people returned to Tokyo to return to the court. Song Jiang was appointed as the doctor of Wude, the pacification envoy of Chuzhou and the head of the soldiers and horses, and Li Kui was also given the command of Zhenjiang and Runzhou.
Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others still refused to let go of Song Jiang and others after all, so they made conspiracies and tricks there, and even the imperial wine given to Song Jiang by Song Huizong dared to use their hands and feet, and put chronic poison in it. Song Jiang didn't take precautions, he drank it directly, and when he found out that he was poisoned, it couldn't be cured. However, at this time, Song Jiang died by himself, and he actually called Li Kui over to die with him. I think Li Kui has been loyal to Song Jiang since he met Song Jiang in Jiangzhou, although Li Kui is a person who kills people indiscriminately and is anxious, but he has nothing to say about Song Jiang, but he is such a good brother, Song Jiang actually wants to drag Li Kui to die together. What was the reason? Song Jiang finally said to Li Kui: "Brother, don't blame me! The day before yesterday, the imperial court sent an angel to give me medicine and wine, and I died. I am a human being, and I only advocate the word 'loyalty', and I refuse to be deceived at all. Today, the court gives innocent deaths, and I would rather the court bear me, and I will be loyal to the court. After I die, I am afraid that you will rebel and ruin my name of Liangshan Bo's loyalty to Tianxingdao. Therefore, please bring you to meet you. Yesterday in the wine, I have taken the slow medicine with you, and I will die when I return to Runzhou. In order not to damage the name of "loyalty", he poisoned his most loyal brother, which is really done by a talent like Song Jiang.
In other words, will Li Kui rebel? Xia Kejun thinks that Li Kui is really a person who may rebel again. At the beginning, after arranging the seats in Liangshan, at the chrysanthemum party, when Song Jiang ordered Tie to call Zile and sing the song "Man Jianghong", there was a sentence in it, "Looking at the king of heaven to send an edict to recruit an early, and his heart is full", Li Kui listened to it, and after listening to it, he "opened his eyes and shouted: 'Zhao'an, Zhao'an, Zhao'an!'" and kicked the table to smithereens, Li Kui was resolutely opposed to Zhao'an. Later, Chen Taiwei was ordered to go to Liangshan to recruit An, and Li Kui tore Zhao'an's edict to pieces, and he really received Zhao'an, and Li Kui was also coerced by everyone, especially under the influence of Song Jiang, Li Kui himself was very disgusted with Zhao'an. After Song Jiang drank the poisonous wine, Li Kui also said to Song Jiang: "Brother, it's the opposite!" Song Jiang said that there were no soldiers and horses, and Li Kui also said that he had 3,000 military horses in Zhenjiang, as well as Chuzhou military horses, so he could rebel directly, and also asked Song Jiang, "When will my brother rebel against the army, I will also raise an army there to respond", but at this time Li Kui had already drunk poisonous wine. Song Jiang told Li Kui the truth at this time, and in the end, Li Kui could only say to Song Jiang: "Wait, stop, stop! I served my brother when I was alive, and when I died, I was just a little ghost under my brother!"
In the final analysis, Song Jiang had to pull Li Kui when he was dying, because he didn't want Li Kui to rebel again after his death and humiliate his name of loyalty. After these people died, Song Huizong was taken by Dai Zong to play in a dream, and he actually saw Li Kui with a plate axe to take revenge. It's a pity that Yin and Yang are separated, even if Li Kui wants to kill Song Huizong, he can't. When it comes to Li Kui's death, Xia Kejun feels that Song Jiang is really too inauthentic, not to mention whether he is worthy of others, but after all, he is most sorry for Li Kui.
