Chapter 856: Zengtou City
Shen Long and Gongsun Sheng didn't talk about this to attract him with magic, Gongsun Sheng wasn't that stupid, his purpose was actually to create a rift between Gongsun Sheng and Song Jiang.
At this time, Gongsun Sheng came to talk to him for so long, Song Jiang and Wu Yong would definitely suspect that Gongsun Sheng was not a simple-minded person like Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, what did he come to talk to him about? Song Jiang and Wu have a black belly and a lively mind, this kind of person is very easy to suspect others.
And once he is suspected, Gongsun Sheng must be aware of it, in this case, will he still be pulled over by Song Jiang? If there was no Gongsun Sheng's help in the matter of Shijie, it would probably not be so easy for Song Jiang to use this to rank Liangshan.
In addition, Shen Long just deliberately pointed out that the Regent Mind was also deliberate, he didn't believe that Gongsun Sheng had no doubts about Chao Gai's death, but Gongsun Sheng didn't confirm the method of his suspicions, and it would be different with the Regent Thought, if it was really confirmed that Chao Gai was killed by Song Jiang, it would not be Gongsun Sheng's business alone.
Chao Gai still has a few sworn friends, Liu Tang and the Ruan brothers will turn their faces because of this, and the heroes of other factions will also despise Song Jiang because of this, and come out to mix, who likes this kind of guy?
Chao Gai is not Wang Lun, Lin Chonghuo and Wang Lun are excusable, after all, Wang Lun can't convince the public, he did a bad job, although Chao Gai is not very good, but he is also a qualified boss, he is righteous to his brothers, and even he led people to save Song Jiang, Song Jiang was ungrateful and killed Chao Gai, I'm afraid I can't say anything.
Shen Long carefully analyzed the factions on Xialiang Mountain, and the Song Jiang faction was the strongest, headed by Hua Rong, Dai Zong, Li Kui and others, and then Qin Ming, Song Qing, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Yu Baosi, Shi Yong, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, Ou Peng, Jiang Jing, Ma Lin, Tao Zongwang, Yang Lin, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, Meng Kang, Tang Long, Jiao Ting, Bao Xu, Zhu Fu, Li Yun and others, adding up to more than 30 people, accounting for almost one-third of the heroes of Liangshan.
However, these people also have a weakness, that is, they lack the strength of the faction, except for a few people such as Hua Rong, Li Kui, Qin Ming, etc., most of them have average strength.
And many of them admired Song Jiang's righteousness and joined in, if the truth about Song Jiang's killing of Chao Gai was revealed, how many people would stand on Song Jiang's side?
Then there is the old Liangshan faction, the first batch to go to Liangshan, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui, Bai Sheng plus Lin Chong, originally Wu Yong also belonged to this faction, but he voted for Song Jiang; After Chao Gai's death, it stands to reason that these people should be headed by Lin Chong.
If this is the case, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen's Sanshan faction may not be able to compete with Song Jiang, but Lin Chong is not very good at being a man, so he can't unite this force.
The Sanshan faction is Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Wu Song, Shi En, Cao Zheng, Zhang Qing, and Sun Erniang of Erlongshan; Zhou Tong and Li Zhong of Peach Blossom Mountain; Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun of Shaohua Mountain; There are a lot of people and enough strength, but it's a pity that the leaders Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin lack some ideas.
There is also the Jieyang faction headed by Li Jun, including Li Li, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Xue Yong, Hou Jian and others, Li Jun is a person with ideas and abilities, otherwise he would not be the king of Siam in the future.
Li Jun, like Huang Chao and Zhang Shicheng, is from selling smuggled salt, it seems that selling smuggled salt is indeed a talented business, but now Li Jun knows that his strength is not enough, so he doesn't do much things, the Jieyang faction is the same as the Sanshan faction, most of the time they don't participate in major events, they just go with the flow.
There are also the imperial court faction, all of which are military generals who surrendered from the officers and soldiers, Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, Peng Xi, and Ling Zhen from Gaotang Prefecture, Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Shan Tingqi, Wei Dingguo, and Suo Chao from the Daimyo Mansion, Zhang Qing, Gong Wang, and Ding Desun from Dongchang Mansion, as well as Huang Xin, Dong Ping, and Xu Ning, these people are supporters of Zhao'an.
The strength of the Dengzhou faction cannot be underestimated, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Gu Sister-in-law, Le He and others have their own strengths, but they are feared by Song Jiang and cannot be reused, so they may be able to win it over.
There are also some small factions in the rest, such as Gongsun Sheng and Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon of Mangdangshan; Li Ying and Du Xing of Lijiazhuang; Technical talents Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, An Daoquan, Huangfuduan, Duan Jingzhu, etc.
Lu Junyi is actually a small faction, Yan Qing, Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong, Shi Qian, Cai Fu, and Cai Qing all have a good relationship with him, but it is a little difficult to sit in the second position just by relying on this.
Maybe this is also the reason why Song Jiang arranged for him to sit in the second position, otherwise according to his qualifications, Lin Chong sat in this position, and then united with the people of the old Liangshan faction and the Sanshan faction, Song Jiang, the boss, would be unstable, no matter in any organization, it is not a good thing for the boss that the second-in-command is too strong.
So, who can I win over? Yan Qing and Shi Xiu needless to say, Shen Long has already subdued them these days, and Gongsun Sheng and the old Liangshan faction can also recruit them, as long as Song Jiang kills Chao Gai, this matter will be done.
The Dengzhou faction is unwilling, Li Jun has ideas, and these can be used; The Sanshan faction is a bit difficult to deal with, Shen Long admires Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Shi Jin, but there are still two guys in it, Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing.
Shen Long went through the Liangshan heroes in his mind, and put this matter aside for the time being, now that he has just gone up the mountain, he is still in a hurry, he needs to do something first, let the big guy see his own ability, understand his own personality, and then make plans, now he only has the name of Hebei Jade Qilin, neither merit nor prestige, who will obey him?
A few days later, Zengtou City captured Liangshan's horses again, and Song Jiang felt that he would lead troops to attack Zengtou City, because Zengtou City had set up five camps, so Liangshan also decided to send five troops and horses to meet the battle.
Shen Long immediately asked for battle, "Lu was saved to go up the mountain, but he couldn't repay him; I wish to move forward with my life today, and I don't know what the respect is? ”
This move was in line with Song Jiang's intentions, and he invited Lu Junyi to come up the mountain, in order to help him solve Shi Wengong, and not let Lin Chong take the credit, and immediately asked, "If you are willing to go down the mountain, can you succumb to the front?" ”
Wu rolled his eyes and said, "When I first arrived at the cottage, I didn't have a battle formation, the mountains were rugged, and it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so I couldn't be the vanguard of the front; Don't lead a military horse, go to Pingchuan to ambush, only listen to the sound of Chinese artillery, and come to respond. ”
Song Jiang pretended to think a little and agreed, this was actually discussed a long time ago, of course Shen Long would not have an opinion, is this how the original book was arranged, and in the end, Shi Wengong just ran to the place where he was ambushed.
