Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The Juyi Hall brings together heroes and heroes through the banner of loyalty and emphasizes equality. All the brothers sitting in the Juyi Hall were all equal, drinking from big bowls and eating large pieces of meat. He talks about brotherly loyalty and will not hesitate to go out of his way to help his friends. They all act based on loyalty, and the organizational relationship between them is relatively loose.

Such a group of people can rob ordinary people in a small way, but once they fight a regular army, they will definitely not be able to fight a tough battle.

Loyalty hall means that everyone who enters the hall must be loyal to the master, emphasizing hierarchy. Although everyone is a loyal and good buddy, they must be loyal to the supreme leader and must obey him unconditionally. The relationship between them is relatively tight, and obedience comes first.

Such a team must have strong combat capability and can defeat a regular army if it encounters it.

Although it is only a word difference, if it changes, it will be completely different from before.

——The management model has changed, and the relationship between people has also changed.

More importantly, this will point out the future development direction of Naitoushan and pave the way for the final recruitment.

Although Chao Gai was not as smart as Song Jiang, he was not stupid either.

The key is that Song Jiang once discussed with Chao Gai that there were problems with Naitoushan's management model, and they also discussed recruiting people.

Therefore, when Song Jiang opened his mouth, Chao Gai understood that what Song Jiang proposed was not a trivial matter of changing a plaque.

Chao Gai was silent for a long time, and then said to Song Jiang from the bottom of his heart:

"In today's Song Dynasty, the emperor is extravagant and lustful, and the traitorous ministers are in power. They are slanderous and dictatorial, so that they don't use it unless they are relatives, and they don't take anything except money. Such a dynasty should die early, so why should we be loyal to it? We just want to be free and happy. Not afraid of heaven, not afraid of earth, not afraid of lawsuits, weighing spiritual stones, wearing different silks and brocades, eating wine in jars, and eating meat in large chunks. Only in this way can one come to this world in vain."

This is Chao Gai's truest thought.

This is also Chao Gai's problem.

yes.

Chao Gai always wanted Naitoushan to catch up with Shuibo Liangshan.

But this was just because Chao Gai wanted to be more famous than Jiang Hongfei and be more praised by his friends in the world.

To put it bluntly, what Chao Gai enjoys is that when others mention his name, he is treated with the same respect from the inside out as when others mention Jiang Hongfei's name.

Other than that... nothing.

Chao Gai never thought about what he would do after developing Naitou Mountain.

rebel?

Chao Gai never thought about it.

Because in his opinion, this matter is too big, and it is not something that a small person like him can do.

Recruited?

Chao Gai was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.

Just like what he told Song Jiang, in his opinion, the Zhao and Song Dynasties were hopeless, and it would be better to die early.

Chao Gai wanted to maintain the status quo and have a large group of heroes surrounding him. They would eat, drink, and have fun together, and be happy.

Let's put it this way, Chao Gai is not suitable to be the top leader of a big mountain at all, because he just wants to be the boss, but he doesn't know that being the boss means facing the adulation and respect of others and enjoying the kind of praise from the stars. At the same time, he must fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a boss, and he must also find a common goal for his subordinates, so as to unify their thoughts and prevent them from falling apart.

The reason why Naitou Mountain can reach its current scale is not so much because of Chao Gai, but because of Wu Yong.

Chao Gai was the first member of the Seven Stars Juyi.

Gongsun Sheng came here by himself.

Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and Zhen were brought here by Wu Yong.

Liu Tang and Bai Sheng were Chao Gai's people.

Later, all the old team members of Naitoushan wanted to stay in Shuibo Liangshan and join the gang. It was Wu Yong who got them down from the mountain.

After all the funds Jiang Hongfei gave to Naitoushan were exhausted, and Naitoushan could no longer develop, it was Wu Yong who shamelessly approached Jiang Hongfei for the refined salt business.

Lijiazhuang was also destroyed by Wu Yong, and Li Ying and Du Xing were also brought up to Naitoushan by Wu Yong.

What did Chao Gai do during this period?

Waiting for Liu Tang and Sui to go down the mountain to rob?

Give all the trophies that should have been obtained from Naitou Mountain to Shuibo Liangshan?

Send all the food, grass and baggage that Wu Yong finally obtained from Lijiazhuang to Shuibo Liangshan with a wave of his hand?

It is no exaggeration to say that Chao Gai really did not play a very positive role in the development and growth of Naitou Mountain. On the contrary, he hindered the development and growth of Naitou Mountain several times.

The bigger problem is that Chao Gai never gave the people on Naitou Mountain a direction.

Such Chao Gai obviously couldn't carry Naitou Mountain very far.

As for Chao Gai's fantasy that Naitou Mountain under his leadership would surpass Shuibo Liangshan under Jiang Hongfei's leadership, that is pure fantasy.

It was precisely because he saw through all this that Wu Yong led Song Jiang to Naitoushan.

Wu Yong wants to replace Chao Gai with Song Jiang?

No.

At least Wu Yong hasn't made up his mind yet.

Song Jiang also has problems with Song Jiang.

That is, Song Jiang was too obsessed with the officialdom of the Zhao and Song Dynasties where he had been involved, and wanted to return to that system.

If Wu Yong had never been to Liangshan, he might still be able to accept Song Jiang's idea.

But Wu Yong spent some time in Liangshan.

During that time, Wu Yong had an in-depth chat with Jiang Hongfei about the general trend of the world and the problems of the Zhao and Song dynasties. He also had personal contact with the political education system of Shuibo Liangshan. He also personally followed Jiang Hongfei to preach for heaven and listened to Jiang Hongfei speech, and witnessed the performance of those people supporting Jiang Hongfei from the bottom of their hearts.

This made Wu Yong realize that the path Song Jiang wanted to take was simply unworkable.

To put it another way, in Wu Yong's view, although Chao Gai had many problems, Chao Gai's views on the Zhao and Song dynasties were correct, while Song Jiang was fundamentally wrong.

Some people may wonder, if this is the case, why did Wu Yong bring Song Jiang to Naitou Mountain?

The answer is simple.

Catfish effect.

Wu Yong wanted to use the ambitious Song Jiang to stimulate the unmotivated Chao Gai and make Chao Gai a qualified boss.

What's more, Wu Yong has long seen that Song Jiang is the same type of person as him, the kind of people who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. With Song Jiang here, Naitoushan will not worry about its development.

To be honest, Wu Yong himself felt tired after all this tossing and internal friction.

But who told Wu Yong that he didn't meet a wise master like Jiang Hongfei, and he was not willing to go to Jiang Hongfei to be a phoenix?

Wu Yong thought to himself: "Let's develop it first and then talk about it. Maybe...slowly, it's not necessarily that the three of us can reach a consensus..."

Seeing that Chao Gai clearly rejected his idea of ​​taking Naitou Mountain to develop in the direction of Zhao'an, Song Jiang said obediently: "What my dear brother said is absolutely true, and I obey my orders.", and then kept silent about changing the plaque. It seemed that he really gave up their claims.

After a while, when the matter subsided, Song Jiang said again:

"My dear friend rescued me, and I went up to the mountain to have banquets for days. I was very happy. But I don't know how sad my father was at home. I first wrote an anti-poetry and then robbed the execution ground, which will definitely affect my family. I was afraid that my father would be frightened and his life would be at risk. I'm sorry for my parents who worked so hard to give birth to me. I want to repay my deep kindness, but Haotian is extremely indifferent. My younger brother wants to go back to my hometown, go to my home to pick up my old father, go up the mountain, and look at him in the morning to show his filial piety and not miss him. I wonder if my brother will tolerate it? "

Chao Gai said: "This is a major matter of human relations. It is the way of the son of man to preserve one's health and sacrifice one's life. How can you and I be free and happy here and teach our father at home to suffer? As a brother, I am not an unreasonable person. How can I not follow my virtuous brother?"

Chao Gai then suggested: "Brothers have just returned from Jiangzhou and are still tired of traveling and traveling. Why don't you ask them to wait for a day or two to rest, raise the troops in person for the brother, and accompany the wise brother to fetch the old father?"

Song Jiang said: "It doesn't matter in a few days. I'm afraid that the Jiangzhou clerk's office will move to Jezhou and hunt down the family members. If this happens, my father will be frightened. If he gets sick, it will be Song Jiang's unfilial piety. It's not advisable to delay this matter." . There is no need for others to accompany Song Jiang to get it. Song Jiang sneaked back quietly, and together with his brother Song Qing, he and his brother Song Qing escorted his father up the mountain overnight, without anyone noticing. If more troops were to go there, the villagers would be frightened. It’s an inconvenience.”

Chao Gai was still worried: "In this case, if there is any mistake on the road, no one can save my dear brother and his family."

Song Jiang insisted: "If I were an old father, I would die without regrets."

Chao Gaikun couldn't keep him, so Song Jiang insisted on going home alone to get his family.

Chao Gai could only agree.

Soon, Song Jiang took a felt hat to wear, carried a short stick, and a sharp knife at his belt, and went down the mountain.

The entire journey was silent.

It is only said that Song Jiang is hungry for food and thirsty for drink, and he stays at night and travels at dawn.

Finally returned home late one night.

Song Jiang explained the situation to Song Taigong and Song Qing.

Song Qing said: "Brother, what you did in Jiangzhou is now known here. This county sent two Zhao Dutou to come and seize them every day. We were held down and we were not allowed to move. We just waited for Jiangzhou to catch us. My family's documents have arrived and they are going to capture our whole family. My father is old and in a panic, how can he escape the pursuit? Go to Fengshan quickly and ask King Chao Tian and other leaders to come and rescue my family. Life, welcome my father up the mountain."

After hearing this, Song Jiang was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and went out all night, preparing to return to Fengshan to bring in reinforcements.

It was night, the moonlight was hazy, and the road was not clear.

Song Jiang just chose a secluded and clean path to run.

After walking for about an hour, Song Jiang heard someone shouting from behind: "Song Jiang, don't leave! Come early to surrender!"

When Song Jiang looked back, he saw a large number of torches a mile or two away. At a quick glance, there were no less than forty or fifty people.

Song Jiang secretly regretted: "I regret not listening to Chao Gai's words, which will lead to today's disaster. God is pitiful, please save Song Jiang!"

At this time, the wind swept away the thin clouds and the bright moon appeared.

Song Jiang saw a place to go.

The book hints that this is the Huandao Village that Jiang Hongfei couldn't find out about.

This place is among high mountains and ridges. There is a stream at the foot of the mountain, and there is only a path into the village in the middle.

Song Jiang looked back and saw that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, leaving him no chance to change places and escape.

Song Jiang could only flee into Huandao Village to find a place to hide.

Passing through a forest, Song Jiang saw an ancient temple. But see:

The walls are in ruins and the buildings are leaning. Moss grows on the walls of the two corridors, and green grass grows on the tiles on the floor. The kid in front of the door has to fold his arms to show off his ferociousness; the judge in the palace doesn't have to wear a bun as a courtesy. For the spiders to build their webs on the bed, and for the ants to nest in the incense burner. The fox often sleeps in the paper stove, and the bat never leaves the god's tent. I don't expect any visitors to come here for many years, but I also know that clouds will arrive in the coming days.

Song Jiang pushed open the temple door and hurriedly hid inside...

At this time, riding on the moonlight, dozens of men and women walked out of the woods behind Song Jiang.

This group of people was Jiang Hongfei and his entourage who had fallen behind Song Jiang all the way to Huandao Village.

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei stopped and had no intention of entering the ancient temple, Chen Liqing asked, "Why don't you continue chasing?"

Jiang Hongfei glanced at Chen Liqing. Although Jiang Hongfei didn't say anything, Chen Liqing also understood what Jiang Hongfei meant: "Are you stupid? If you follow me, won't you be discovered by Song Jiang?"

Hu Sanniang, who had been holding back her doubts, asked, "Sir, I couldn't wait to go to sleep. I stayed outside his house for half the night, and then chased him all the way. What happened?"

Jiang Hongfei said leisurely: "This may be an opportunity for me."

Everyone is puzzled!

Jiang Hongfei did not explain.

Some time ago, Jiang Hongfei had been busy sending Li Jun to Liuqiu to open up wasteland and to do justice in Qingzhou, and he really couldn't care less about the opportunity to grab Song Jiang.

As a result, without Jiang Hongfei paying attention, Song Jiang went to Jiangzhou to recruit so many people, greatly increasing the strength of Naitoushan.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei could only sigh: "The protagonist is the protagonist. If you don't pay attention, he will become famous."

Based on Song Jiang's experience, Jiang Hongfei speculated that Song Jiang would soon meet the Nine Heavens Xuannv.

This Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl is a BOSS bigger than Zhenren Luo, a true immortal.

Thinking that he had benefited a lot from the last time he met Zhenren Luo, Jiang Hongfei had an inexplicable urge to meet Jiutian Xuannv.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei asked Shi Xiu, who had just established the second intelligence department of Shuibo Liangshan - Jinyiwei, to send people to keep an eye on Song Jiang and make sure to notify him in advance when Song Jiang returned to Yuncheng.

Just in case, Jiang Hongfei gave Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu the same order.

That's what happened today.

Not long after, Zhao Neng and Zhao De led forty or fifty people, holding torches, to the ancient temple.

Apart from the mountains and forests and this ancient temple, there was no other place to hide nearby, so Zhao Neng and Zhao De naturally led people into the temple without hesitation.

After about a stick of incense, Zhao Neng and Zhao De of Song Jiang were searched inside and outside the ancient temple several times but could not be found, so they had no choice but to lead people out of the ancient temple again.

Zhao Neng said with confusion on his face: "This guy is not in the temple. Could he be hiding in the forest?"

At this time, a soldier said: "Look, Dutou, there are two handwritings on the temple door, that guy must be in the temple!"

Zhao Neng said: "You are absolutely right. Go in and search carefully."

This time, Zhao Neng and Zhao De took people in and searched carefully, but they still couldn't find Song Jiang.

Zhao Neng and Zhao De discussed with their soldiers and felt that there was only one way in and out of Huandao Village. They were not afraid of Song Jiang's escape. As long as they guarded the entrance of the village, Song Jiang would be the turtle in the urn.

So, Zhao Neng and Zhao De left Huandao Village with their soldiers.

Seeing this, Chen Liqing asked curiously: "Song Heitan has clearly entered this ancient temple, why did they search twice but couldn't find it?"

Hu Sanniang suggested: "Shall we go in and take a look?"

After saying that, Hu Sanniang looked at Jiang Hongfei expectantly.

Not only Hu Sanniang, but Chen Liqing and Hua Baoyan also had such expectations. Even Ruan Xiaoqi, Shi Qian, Shi Xiu, Liu Lin, Lin Chong and Yan Shude who were temporarily called by Jiang Hongfei as bodyguards were a little curious.

Only a few people, such as Gao Liang and Liu Huiniang, could see the extraordinary nature of this ancient temple and it was relatively stable.

Jiang Hongfei didn't say a word nonsense, he just said: "Wait."

Jiang Hongfei said this, and others could only suppress their strong curiosity and continue to be patient, waiting here for Song Jiang to come out.

Jiang Hongfei and others waited from dusk to sunrise.

In the morning light, Jiang Hongfei saw four gold characters engraved on the forehead of the ancient temple's old plaque: Temple of Xuannv!

Jiang Hongfei thought to himself: "Finally, I found you, Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens."

Not long after, Song Jiang came out of the temple.

Seeing this, everyone became even more curious. They didn't understand how Song Jiang escaped the pursuit of Zhao Neng and Zhao De.

Jiang Hongfei looked at Song Jiang and saw that his sleeves were bulging.

Jiang Hongfei turned his head and lowered his voice and said to Shi Qian: "Brother, he has three volumes of scriptures in his sleeves. Go and get them for me. Remember not to teach him that it was you who did it..."
