The three of them said as they walked towards Dongxi Village. On the way, Wu Song told Yang Zhi and Hu Sanniang about Chao Gai

In fact, these situations come from the memories of previous lives. However, judging from the people he came into contact with after crossing over, although these people were not the same as in the memories of his previous life, their personalities were also generally similar. Of course, for the sake of safety, he still added the word "heard" to all the situations about Chao Gai and others.

I heard that Chao Gai is a wealthy family in the county, and he lives a righteous and squandering fortune, and loves to get acquainted with the world's heroes, but if someone comes to him, no matter how good or bad, he stays in the village to live; And when he wanted to go, he gave him two pieces of silver to help him get up. I love to use a spear and a stick, and I am also strong, I don't marry a wife, and I just boil my muscles and bones all day long, so my martial arts are not too bad.

I heard that Chao Gai also has a nickname called "Tota Heavenly King". It turned out that there were originally two villages outside the east gate of Yuncheng County, one Dongxi Village and one Xixi Village, separated only by a big stream. At the beginning, there were often ghosts in this Xixi Village, and they went into the water charmingly during the day. One day, a monk passed by, chiseled a pagoda with bluestone, and placed it in its place, and lived by the stream. At that time, the ghosts of Xixi Village all drove over Dongxi Village. At that time, Chao Gai learned about it, was furious, walked from here, and took the bluestone pagoda alone and put it down in Dongxi Village, so everyone called him the king of Tota.

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "This is indeed a ghost story, where are there ghosts in this world, this story is clearly made up, it just means that this Chao Gai is a village tyrant!" ”

Wu Song said: "It is true that Chao Gai dominates this village, but the village tyrant can not help but say it. I heard that this person is actually very sympathetic to the people, benevolent and righteous, does not oppress ordinary people, and is also very principled. Although he loves money, he pays attention to robbing the rich and helping the poor, and sets a rule that he cannot kill or injure people, and let others live! ”

Wu Song's evaluation of Chao Gai was based on his own records of Chao Gai in the book of his previous life. Indeed, Chao Gai and Song Jiang are actually fundamentally different, although Song Jiang is known as benevolence and righteousness, and is known as timely rain, but he is actually ruthless and bloodstained on his hands, for example, he does not hesitate to kill in order to earn a hero to go up the mountain or take revenge. But when Chao Gai was in charge of Liangshan, he set a rule: it's okay to rob money, but you can't kill people. Every time the people of Liangshan went out to loot and came back, Chao Gai would ask: Have you ever killed or injured people? If he says no, he will be "overjoyed".

Take the robbery of the Birth Gang as an example, the reason why Chao Gai agreed to do this was not only because he was greedy for money, but also because he felt that this money was the people's fat and people's ointment collected by Liang Zhongshu, and it was the "ill-gotten gains" accumulated by corrupt officials, and it was not against morality. Moreover, after robbing money, he did not kill or injure any of Yang Zhi and his party, and did not come to "kill people and kill people".

When Yang Zhi thought about it like this, he also felt that what Wu Song said was good, and his hatred for Chao Gai faded a little. Wu Song had the intention of recruiting Yang Zhi and Chao Gai and his gang under his command, and naturally hoped that Yang Zhi would let go of his hatred so that they could unite and work together.

The reason why he wanted to recruit Chao Gai was because Wu Song felt that if what was written in the book in his memory in his previous life was good, then this Chao Gai was indeed a very good general.

This person has some martial arts, and he also has some prestige among the heroes in the rivers and lakes, and he can be as good as a stream, and later he was in charge of Liangshan for a time, and he also made a fortune, and he can be regarded as a leader.

But this person is also affectionate, does not have much ambition, and does not attach so much importance to power, and will not think of usurping power. Therefore, it will be more reassuring to use. With leadership talent but no ambition, this kind of general talent who is safe to use is actually very rare, and it is also what Wu Song needs the most.

Wu Song had already thought that after recapturing the new forbidden army, people like Chao Gai could actually help him to take charge of himself, occupy a mountain somewhere, establish a base for the new forbidden army, and train an army, without worrying that Chao Gai would be like Song Jiang would be rebellious.

As for Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang and Ruan's Sanjie who are with Chao Gai, judging from the memories of their previous lives, Wu Yong is not to mention, the other characters are not bad, and their skills are also good. If these people still submit to the Liangshan bandits, then they will become a huge help to the Liangshan bandits and become a threat to the new forbidden army; Countermeasures, if Wu Song can preemptively let them return to obedience and join the new forbidden army, then they will also become valuable talents of the new forbidden army.

Even Wu Yong, Wu Song felt that he must also be recruited into the new forbidden army. Although, when Song Jiang later wanted to seize Chao Gai's Liangshan throne, he did not firmly defend Chao Gai, and was quite a bit suspicious of betraying his friends, but objectively, this person was indeed very resourceful, Wu Song thought that he might be inferior to Wen Huanzhang, the existing staff officer of the new forbidden army, but he was still a rare senior staff officer.

Thinking like this, Wu Song also had a clearer plan on how to recover Chao Gai and Wu Yong's gang.

Yang Zhi is strong in martial arts, and he is actually very talented in military tactics, but he is very confident in his martial arts, and he went to Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others to ask about Shengchengang, and he didn't think too much about it. According to his thoughts, these people are just local tyrants in the countryside, and if they don't use conspiracy and trickery, where will they be his opponents behind this dignified general? Just find it and crush it by force.

Wu Song is very clear: he has now made a new breakthrough in the "Dharma Heart Sutra", and it should not be a problem to deal with Chao Gai and his gang. But Yang Zhi, although his martial arts are higher than those in Chao Gai's group, they are not too high, and they can deal with any of them one-on-one, if many people on Chao Gai's side join forces, Yang Zhi may not be able to please.

For example, Yang Zhi ranked seventeenth among the one hundred singles and eight generals, but Liu Tang also ranked twenty-first, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were also in the top thirty, and Ruan Xiaoqi ranked thirty-first. If any or two of these people join forces, Yang Zhi may not be able to win.

What's more, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng on Chao Gai's side are ranked third and fourth respectively among the one hundred and eight heroes! Their martial arts are not very good, but if they join forces to use their wit, Yang Zhi is afraid that he will not have to spit out his bones if he is eaten!

Therefore, Wu Song introduced to Yang Zhi the situation of Chao Gai's friendship with Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others. When Yang Zhi heard this, he quickly confronted the gang of robbers on Huangnigang who used a scheme to rob him and escort him to the Birth Gang, and couldn't help but get angry again, gritted his teeth and said: "It's this gang of thieves who has made me so miserable!" ”

Wu Song smiled: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." In fact, according to my analysis, if this batch of Birthday Gang is really taken by Chao Gai and his gang, then although Chao Gai is the leader, the mastermind behind the scenes must be Wu Yong! This group of people seems to have the highest prestige and is the eldest brother of everyone, but in fact, the real promoter behind the scenes is often Wu Yong. Therefore, if you want to get back the Birth Gang and deter this group of people, you should first start with Wu Yong! ”
