Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Just as Song Jiang was bidding farewell to Chao Gai, a group of leaders from Naitou Mountain came to Juyi Hall one after another.

When Song Jiang ignored Chao Gai's obstruction and insisted on bowing three times to Chao Gai, Li Kui was the first to jump out and shouted:

"Let's go! Let's go! Go pack your luggage and follow your brother down the mountain. I, Tieniu, have long disliked Naitou Mountain. It's like a woman's big deal. If I tell you, my friends in the world will laugh at me. If my brother hadn't been here to beat me to death, I, Tieniu, would never have come to this shameful place, Luocao!"

Qin Ming followed closely and said: "There are so many mountains in the world. If it weren't for my brother's persuasion, why would we come to Fengshan to serve? Now that my brother is going down the mountain, I will definitely not keep this Fengshan!"

Kong Ming shouted: "My two brothers only recognize Master, and everyone else is nothing in our eyes. Master is on Naitou Mountain, and we are on Naitou Mountain. Master is not on Naitou Mountain. If he kneels down and calls us grandpa, we will definitely reject it." I won’t stay on Naitou Mountain!”

Next, Huang Xin and others expressed their intention to advance and retreat with Song Jiang.

Chao Gai saw that if Song Jiang was allowed to go down the mountain, then Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Shi Yong, Dai Zong, Li Kui, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Eighteen leaders including Xue Yong, Li Li, Hou Jian, Song Qing, etc. will definitely follow Song Jiang down the mountain.

And this is just the leader. There are not many leaders and minions below who will follow Song Jiang down the mountain.

It is worth mentioning that just before Song Jiang came in, Gongsun Sheng had already told Chao Gai and Wu Yong:

"I am grateful to all the heroes who have taken care of me for a long time, and my kindness is the same as my own flesh and blood. It's just that Xiaodao has never returned to his hometown since he followed Mr. Chao to the mountains and feasted every day. Jizhou's old mother is there, and I am afraid that I, the real master, will be anxious and want to I will go back to my hometown for a visit. I will say goodbye to the leaders for the time being and come back to see you again in three to five months to fulfill my wishes on the path and avoid making my mother and master worried and anxious."

If according to Chao Gai's wishes, Gongsun Sheng remembered that his old mother was in Jizhou and had no one to serve him, and he missed his mentor Luo Zhenren. He had been away from home for a long time and wanted to go home to see him, so he must have agreed immediately.

But Wu Yong, uncharacteristically, persuaded Gongsun Sheng to stay and not leave.

Before Gongsun Sheng could decide whether to leave, Song Jiang arrived.

Now according to the worst plan, Song Jiang took Qin Ming and other eighteen leaders down the mountain. If Gongsun Sheng left again, twenty leaders would go down the mountain.

In this way, including Chao Gai, there are only nine leaders left on Naitou Mountain, including Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Li Ying, Liu Tang, Gu Jian, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Du Xing, and Bai Sheng.

Judging from the number of leaders, the remaining strength on Naitoushan is less than one-third of its peak.

This is an unacceptable result for Chao Gai, who has always wanted to be the boss of the mountain.

So Chao Gai quickly said: "Brother Xian, what are you talking about? Brother Xian Jiang Yan..."

Chao Gai deliberately said that Jiang Hongfei had misjudged Song Jiang.

But there was no need to look at anything else, just the scene of forcing the palace in front of him. How could Chao Gai, who was not a fool, insist that Jiang Hongfei had mistakenly seen Song Jiang?

And Song Jiang was actually waiting for Chao Gai to say, "Brother Jiang Yanxian, he is a slanderer!", "Brother Jiang Yanxian, he is full of nonsense!", "Brother Jiang Yanxian, he has misjudged Brother Xian!" and so on.

But what Song Jiang was waiting for in the end was just: "Brother Xian, Jiang Yan, he may have misunderstood Brother Xian."

As a "misunderstanding" was not enough, Chao Gai also added the words "possible" in front of the two words "misunderstanding".

How could Song Jiang not see that Chao Gai was indeed doubting him?

After receiving such a result, Song Jiang was both sad and secretly relieved.

What's sad is that Song Jiang and Chao Gai used to be such good friends, but now they have reached a point where they don't even have the most basic trust in each other.

As for what was secretly relieved, at this point, Chao Gai still couldn't even tell a decent lie, he was still so incompetent, still so womanly, and still so fearless.

Song Jiang took retreat as a way to advance: "Brother, don't say any more. Song Jiang has made up his mind to leave and it will never be changed."

Li Kui and others heard this and shouted: "It's going down the mountain! It's going down the mountain! It's going down the mountain!"

Song Jiang scolded: "Why are you joining in the fun to trap me, Song Jiang, in an unkind and unjust place? You all stay on the mountain for me to assist King Chao Tian, ​​and no one is allowed to go down the mountain to destroy my loyalty. Only my brother Song Qing and I take my father and Your family members can just come down the mountain!”

Hearing what Song Jiang said, Chao Gai was a little moved, but he couldn't help but look forward to it!

Chao Gai thought that if this could really happen, it might be the best result. At most, he would think of a way to settle Song Jiang's family, such as...

For a moment, Chao Gai really didn't know how to arrange the Song Jiang family.

But Chao Gai didn't need to worry about it, because he didn't have this chance at all.

Zhang Shunchong bowed to Song Jiang and said, "My brother is surprised by what he said. Even if my brother forces the brothers to stay on Fengshan Mountain, how can he teach the brothers' hearts to stay on Fengshan Mountain?"

Yan Shun said: "What brother Zhang Shun said is absolutely true. Our hearts have followed our brother down the mountain. Even if we are still on the mountain, we will not be happy. Sooner or later we will go down the mountain to find our brother."

Mu Hong said: "My two brothers burned their village and left their hometown and left Jiangzhou just to follow my brother and fulfill their loyalty. If my brother is not on this mountain and leaves us alone, what kind of loyalty can we talk about?"

Dai Zong concluded: "Brother, don't talk anymore. If you want to stay, stay together, and if you go, go together."

Song Jiang pointed at Dai Zong and others: "You are trying to trap me, Song Jiang, into being unkind and unjust!"

Song Jiang turned around and bowed to Chao Gai on the ground, saying affectionately: "My dear friend, don't be surprised, this is definitely not Song Jiang's original intention!"

Now that things have come to this, Chao Gai still can't understand that the best result he thought before was simply wishful thinking, and there is absolutely no such possibility.

Now there are only two ways in front of Chao Gai.

Or, accept Song Jiang's threat to his position as village leader, or even his life.

Or, accept failure, accept that Naitou Mountain will turn back into the unfavorable hilltop it once was, and stop dreaming about Naitou Mountain catching up with Shuibo Liangshan Mountain.

Chao Gai would not make such a decision, nor was he willing to make it.

Therefore, Chao Gai looked at Wu Yong as always, hoping that Wu Yong would come out to clean up this mess.

Seeing this, Wu Yong was extremely disappointed with Chao Gai!

To be honest, even if Chao Gai gritted his teeth and agreed to Song Jiang taking his people to leave, Wu Yong would not be so disappointed with Chao Gai, because that would at least show that Chao Gai could see the situation clearly and know the trade-offs. Although he was still incompetent, at least he would Knowing how much you weigh won't help, but it won't bury the root of your trouble.

But Chao Gai obviously knew about Song Jiang's ambition, but he was hesitant, indecisive, and hesitant because he was reluctant to let go of Song Jiang's power.

How is this the behavior of a person who does great things? !

Wu Yong thought to himself: "If you and Jiang Yan had exchanged places and had so much time, Jiang Yan would have taken the initiative to get rid of Song Jiang before Song Jiang knew about it. In that case, how could it be possible to turn around?" Come to Songjiang to force your palace? To make you fall into such a passive state?"

Wu Yong thought tiredly: "Also, you haven't realized it so far. If you ask me for help at this time, it will only make you look down upon and lose more completely."

After shaking his head and suppressing his disappointment in Chao Gai, Wu Yong said, "Asi, how about you and I talk alone?"

Song Jiang had never been afraid of Chao Gai. From beginning to end, there was only one person he feared in Naitou Mountain, and that person was Wu Yong.

But despite this, Song Jiang still looked at Chao Gai and asked with a troubled face: "King of Heaven, Chao Gai..."

Chao Gai seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said: "Brother Xian, teach Wu Xuexuu to talk to you alone. This is really a misunderstanding!"

Seeing that Chao Gai had no objection to him and Wu Yong talking alone, Song Jiang stood up and walked out of the Juyi Hall with Wu Yong.

When he walked to a place where no one was around, Wu Yongcai said leisurely: "Oshi should know that if you and the King of Heaven break up, the King of Heaven will definitely not be the biggest loser, right?"

As soon as Wu Yong opened his mouth, Song Jiang was hit hard.

Even though Song Jiang was making such a fuss, in fact, Song Jiang's current situation was much more difficult than that of Chao Gai.

yes.

Song Jiang put Chao Gai on the fire and roasted him.

But the premise is that Jiang Hongfei put Song Jiang on the fire first.

Because Song Jiang really had no other choice, he could only retreat in order to advance, forcing Chao Gai who could not pick up or let go.

But Song Jiang's little tricks could scare Chao Gai, but not Wu Yong.

Wu Yong could see clearly.

If Chao Gai had allowed Song Jiang to take his people away from Naitou Mountain, Naitou Mountain would have gone back to the time when Song Jiang and Song Jiang's people had not gone up to Naitou Mountain.

To take a step back, there is Jiang Hongfei, the number one hero in the world, who will succeed Chao Gai. Therefore, Chao Gai will never have no way out no matter when.

But Song Jiang can't.

That's right.

There are many people who are willing to leave Naitoushan with Song Jiang.

But don’t forget that while these people are a powerful force, they are also a huge and heavy burden.

In other words, if these people leave Naitou Mountain with Song Jiang, should Song Jiang be responsible for what these people eat, drink, and defecate?

Song Jiang, who left Naitou Mountain, didn't even have a place to stay. They had to find ways to pay for food and clothing by themselves. Even if they were short of needles, they had to grab them themselves.

There is a special term for gangs like that - rogues.

If the world is in chaos, there are rogue bandits everywhere, and even the imperial court cannot wipe them out, but the rogue bandits can still have some room for survival.

But now, although the Zhao and Song Dynasty has declined, it is still far from the time when the world is in chaos. How can the Zhao and Song Dynasty allow the existence of rogue bandits who are extremely easy to fight?

Moreover, don't forget that Song Jiang and others are not all soldiers, there are also a large number of family members among them.

Under this situation, if Song Jiang and the others were beaten by the army, it would be easy for them to lose their position and then be defeated, and countless families would be killed.

By then, how many of them will be able to follow Song Jiang all the time?

Three against two, Song Jiang's team will be disbanded.

Without the team, Song Jiang would have to be captured by the army sooner or later and then cut into pieces.

Some people may say that there are so many mountains in the world, and Song Jiang and the others can just occupy any one of them, isn't that enough?

It's not that easy.

You know, there are many mountains in the world, but not all of them are suitable for Luocao as bandits. Even if they are suitable for Luocao as bandits, they may not be suitable for Song Jiang and his group.

If a hilltop is to be suitable for Luocao, it must first be easy to defend and difficult to attack, otherwise it will be easily wiped out by the army.

There must also be a place to grab near this hilltop.

But even so, most of the mountains can barely feed three to five hundred people.

There are too few big mountains that can support thousands of people and horses.

Otherwise, why do you think Chao Gai and the others dislike Naitou Mountain so much but haven't moved to another mountain yet?

And even Naitou Mountain can actually support one or two thousand people and horses.

It was Jiang Hongfei who gave Naitou Mountain a large salt market. Chao Gai and the others were able to develop Naitou Mountain to include thousands of people and have the strength to raise these people.

Otherwise, these thousands of troops, plus their families, would have a population of nearly 10,000. These nearly 10,000 mouths waiting for food are not so easy to feed.

All in all, if Song Jiang leads his men down the mountain, whether he can survive or not is a question.

Some people may ask, couldn't Song Jiang lead his troops to surrender to others?

Who to vote for?

Song Jiang and his group have more than 20 leaders and thousands of troops. Who dares to take them in except a big force like Shuibo Liangshan? Who is not afraid that they will kill themselves first and then seize their mountaintop?

And drowning in Liangshan?

Jiang Hongfei must not be afraid, and he must welcome him very much.

The question is, does Song Jiang have the courage to drown Liangshan?

Therefore, for Song Jiang and his group, staying in Naitou Mountain is their best choice.

Song Jiang knew that it was useless to act in front of Wu Yong, so he told the truth: "Xiao Ke doesn't want to do this, but Jiang Yan..."

Wu Yong interrupted Song Jiang and said: "Brother Jiang Yan's support is indispensable for the survival and development of Fengshan at this stage."

After hearing this, Song Jiang changed his words and said, "But the leader of Jiangzhai said so harshly to Xiao Ke. If Xiao Ke doesn't do that, what can he do?"

Wu Yong probed: "How about giving up the recruitment?"

Song Jiang remained silent.

Obviously, Song Jiang still insists on taking the road of recruiting people, and he firmly believes that recruiting people is the right way.

Seeing this, Wu Yong was completely disappointed with Song Jiang. He said:

"Then Asi must suppress his true feelings. If one day, Asi replaces the King of Heaven in charge of Fengshan, Brother Jiang Yan will definitely take back everything he gave to Fengshan, and Asi will also face Brother Jiang Yan directly. The enemy, I think I already know how scary brother Jiang Yan is?"

With Jiang Hongfei's words, Song Jiang's character development that he had worked so hard for many years almost came to naught. Now he even dared not touch Chao Gai. He could only let Chao Gai, who was both incompetent and conflicted with his ideas, suppress him. He, he was really afraid of Jiang Hongfei from the bottom of his heart.

For Wu Yong, the matter has been resolved here.

The result is obvious. Although the relationship between Chao Gai and Song Jiang cannot return to the past, for the entire Naitou Mountain, the sound of waves remains the same.

Of course, beneath the sound of the waves, there must be an undercurrent.

At this time, Song Jiang stopped, looked at Wu Yong and asked, "Xiao Ke would like to take the liberty to ask, who are the scholars?"

Feeling that such a question would be detrimental to himself, Song Jiang added: "With his scholarly knowledge, it is impossible not to see that the King of Heaven is not a man who will achieve great things. He has too many problems. If a scholar helps him, he can only help him in the end." Fetching water from a bamboo basket is all in vain.”

Wu Yong met Song Jiang's gaze and said with a smile: "Xiaosheng is the one who can achieve big things. Whoever can achieve big things, Xiaosheng will help him..."
