In the vast story of Liang Shanbo, Chao Gai's death by poisoned arrow is not only a thrilling history, but also a hidden power struggle. Chao Gai, the leader of Liangshanbo, was unfortunately hit by an arrow in the battle of Zengtou City, and this arrow actually carried the assassination intent of Song Jiang. Lin Chong, as a think tank and military general, had long been aware of Song Jiang's ambitions, but he had to make a choice in the whirlpool of power.
Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. In Shuibo Liangshan, a group of heroes with unique skills gathered, either to escape the pursuit of the government, or to seek a job, and finally gathered together to seek a great cause. As the leader of Liangshanbo, Chao Gai has strong martial arts and excellent wisdom, and is deeply supported by everyone. But the good times did not last long, and Liangshan was no exception, and internal power struggles and conflicts of interests were always with us.
During a campaign to Zengtou City, Chao Gai was unfortunately shot by a poisoned arrow with the word "Shi Wengong" engraved on it. This arrow is not only a physical injury, but also a deep political implication. Lin Chong, as Chao Gai's right-hand man, understood that there must be something strange behind this. It is said that this expedition was originally planned by Song Jiang, and the origin of the arrow directly pointed to Song Jiang's intention to get rid of Chao Gai.
After Chao Gai was injured, Song Jiang showed great grief, and did not leave the bed, personally dressing Chao Gai, seemingly caring. Lin Chong, who was well versed in the art of war, saw Song Jiang's hypocrisy and grievance. Why didn't you invite a skilled imperial doctor to treat him? Why did Song Jiang rush to preside over the overall situation as soon as Chao Gai was seriously injured? All of this seemed to imply to Lin Chong that Chao Gai's death had nothing to do with Song Jiang.
As a military advisor, Lin Chong knew that his situation was precarious. As soon as Chao Gai dies, Liangshan's power structure will inevitably be reshaped. He had to take refuge in Song Jiang again in order to protect himself. Although Lin Chong understood that Chao Gai's last wish was to hope that he could inherit the throne of Liang Shanbo, he had to make a choice between power and survival.
Chao Gai's last words were: "If you can catch the enemy who killed me, let him be the master of Liangshanbo." On the surface, this sentence seems to be shirking responsibility to his murderer, but it is actually testing Song Jiang's loyalty and ambition. Lin Chong and the other leaders finally chose to support Song Jiang to ascend to the throne. Do you think, who can explain the things on the rivers and lakes clearly?
At Chao Gai's funeral, Lin Chong took the initiative to ask Ying to support Song Jiang for the throne, while Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng became the role of conformity. This move not only established Song Jiang's authority, but also marked a major shift in the core of Liangshanbo's power. Lin Chong knew at this time that if he did not show absolute loyalty, he would probably become the next target to be shot by an arrow.
Liangshanbo has never been simple. Although Lin Chong obeyed Song Jiang on the surface, his heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He knows very well that the real battle in the rivers and lakes is not only the sword and sword, but also the scheming and strategy in the undercurrent. Lin Chong's resourcefulness and patience allowed him to temporarily keep himself in this whirlpool of power, but how long can this way of survival last?
During his days at Liangshanbo, Lin Chong was in danger every day, and he had to be vigilant at all times, analyzing every possible threat. He knows that only by constantly improving his own value can he stabilize his foothold in the uncertain rivers and lakes. At the same time, he is also looking for the right time, waiting for a chance to turn the tables.
Who could have predicted the future of the affairs of the rivers and lakes? Although Lin Chong's wisdom and courage allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Liangshanbo, his heart was never at peace. His loyalty and suspicion of Song Jiang, Chao Gai's death and Liangshan's all of this are like a nightmare that cannot be shaken off.
In the complex whirlpool of power, Lin Chong has always been thinking about the question of whether he is really working hard for the future of Liangshan, or just for his own survival? This question may be difficult for Lin Chong himself to answer. In that troubled world, each person could be a tool for another person, and every choice could be the difference between life and death.
Chao Gai's death by poisoned arrow is not only the end of a tragedy, but also the beginning of another story of Liang Shanbo. Lin Chong, as a think tank and military general beside Chao Gai, every decision he made affected the fate of Liang Shanbo. In this seemingly contest of loyalty and betrayal, it is actually more of an individual's struggle and choice in the troubled times. Lin Chong is not only an echo of history, but also a profound reflection on power, loyalty, and survival choices. In this gripping history, everyone is fighting for their own survival, and who can be the real winner?
