…

The Hall of Righteousness brings heroes together under the banner of righteousness, emphasizing reciprocity. All the brothers sitting in the hall of righteousness were equal, drinking wine in large bowls and eating meat in large pieces. Talking about the righteousness of buddies, he does not hesitate to stick a knife in his ribs for his friends. Acting entirely on righteousness, the organizational relationship between them is relatively loose.

It is okay for such a group of people to fight and rob ordinary people in small fights, but once they fight with the regular army, it will definitely not work in a tough battle.

Zhongyitang means that everyone who enters the door must be loyal to the master, emphasizing rank. Although everyone is also a good buddy who is righteous, 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 be strong in combat capability, and it can also win in battle when it encounters a regular army.

It's just a word difference, but if you change it, it's a complete change compared to 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 Nai Tou Mountain, and lay the groundwork for the final recruitment.

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

The key is that Song Jiang once talked to Chao Gai that there was a problem with the management model of Naitou Mountain, and he also talked about Zhao'an.

Therefore, as soon as 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 before he said to Song Jiang in his heart:

"Today's Great Song Dynasty court, the faint monarch is poor and extravagant, the court traitors are in charge, and the authoritarian power is slandered, so that they don't use their relatives and don't take money. Such a dynasty, early death is better, what is loyal to it? We just have to be happy and happy, not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, not afraid of lawsuits, on the scales and spiritual stones, wearing silk brocade in strange ways, eating wine in urns, and eating meat in large pieces. In this way, it is not in vain to come to the world. ”

This is Chao Gai's truest thoughts.

This is also the problem of Chao Gai.

Be.

Chao Gai has always wanted Naitou Mountain to catch up with Shuibo Liangshan.

But this is just because Chao Gai wants to be more beautiful than Jiang Hongfei and is more touted by friends on the rivers and lakes.

To put it bluntly, what Chao Gai enjoys is that when others mention his name, it is like the kind of respect shown from the inside out when Jiang Hongfei's name is mentioned.

Besides...... Nope.

Chao Gai never thought about what he was going to do after he developed and expanded Naitou Mountain?

Rebel?

Chao Gai didn't think 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 didn't want to do it from the bottom of his heart.

Just like he said to Song Jiang, in his opinion, the Zhao Song Dynasty is no longer saved, and it is better to die early.

Chao Gai wanted to maintain the status quo and let a large group of heroes surround him, and they would eat, drink, and have fun together.

Let's put it this way, Chao Gai is not suitable to be the supreme leader of a big mountain at all, because he just wants to be the boss, but he doesn't know that being the boss, while facing the praise and respect of others and enjoying the kind of stars and the moon, 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 thinking and keep them from falling apart.

And Naitou Mountain can have today's scale, not so much by Chao Gai, but by Wu Yong.

Chao Gai's original Seven Stars Juyi member.

Gongsun Sheng hit it himself.

Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and Jian Ji were brought by Wu Yong.

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

Later, the old team of Naitou Mountain all wanted to stay in Shuibo Liangshan and couldn't leave, and it was Wu Yong who got them down the mountain.

The foundation of Jiang Hongfei's gift to Naitou Mountain was all consumed, and after Naitou Mountain could no longer develop, it was Wu who cheekily went to the refined salt business with Jiang Hongfei.

Li Jiazhuang was also destroyed by Wu Yong, and Li Ying and Du Xing were also brought up by Wu Yong to Naitou Mountain.

What did Chao Gai do during this period?

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

Give all the loot that should have been obtained by Nai Tou Shan to Shuibo Liangshan?

With a wave of the grain and grass that Wu Hao finally got from Lijiazhuang, he gave them all to Shuibo Liangshan?

It is no exaggeration to say that Chao Gai really did not play a too positive role in the development and growth of Naitou Mountain, on the contrary, it dragged down 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 a cover obviously can't go too far with Naitou Mountain.

As for Chao Gai's fantasy, the Naitou Mountain under his leadership surpasses the Shuibo Liangshan under the leadership of Jiang Hongfei, which is purely a fool's dream.

It was precisely because he saw through all this that Wu Yong got Song Jiang to Naitou Mountain.

Wu Yong wants to replace Chao Gai with Song Jiang?

No.

At least for now, Wu Yong has not made up his mind.

Song Jiang also has Song Jiang's problems.

That is, Song Jiang was too obsessed with the officialdom of the Zhao and Song dynasties that he had mixed with, and he wanted to return to that system again.

If he hadn't been to Liangshan, Wu Yong might still be able to accept Song Jiang's idea.

But Wu Yong stayed on Liangshan for a while.

During that time, Wu Yong had an in-depth conversation with Jiang Hongfei about the general trend of the world and the problems of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and he also personally contacted the political education system of Shuibo Liangshan, and also personally went to Tianxing with Jiang Hongfei, listened to Jiang Hongfei's speech, and saw the performance of those people who supported Jiang Hongfei from the bottom of their hearts.

This made Wu Yong realize that the path that Song Jiang wanted to take would not work at all.

In other words, in Wu Yong's opinion, although Chao Gai has many problems, Chao Gai's view of the Zhao and Song dynasties is correct, while Song Jiang is wrong from the root.

Some people may be puzzled, since this is the case, why did Wu Yong get Song Jiang to Naitou Mountain?

The answer is simple.

The catfish effect.

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

Besides, Wu Yong has long seen that Song Jiang and him are the same kind of people, they are the kind of people who can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

To be honest, with such a toss and such internal friction, Wu Yong felt tired by himself.

But who asked him Wu Yong not to meet a master like Jiang Hongfei, and he was unwilling to go to Jiang Hongfei to be a phoenix tail?

Wu thought to himself: "Let's develop it first, maybe ...... Slowly, the three of us can reach a consensus, and it may not be ......"

Seeing that Chao Gai clearly rejected his proposal to take Nai Tou Mountain to develop in the direction of Zhao'an, Song Jiang said obediently: "What Brother Ren said is extremely true, and the younger brother obeys the order. Then he kept silent about changing the plaque, as if he had really given up his claim.

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

"The younger brother went up the mountain from Brother Mengren's rescue, and went to my peak mountain to drink and feast for days, and he was very happy. But I don't know how sad my father is at home? I first wrote anti-poems and robbed the Dharma field, which will definitely affect my family, lest my father be frightened and his life will be in jeopardy. Mourn my parents, give birth to me, and work hard. If you want to repay your deep kindness, Haotian is reckless. The younger brother wants to go back to our hometown, go to the house to pick up the old father up the mountain, and save the morning in the morning, so as to pay filial piety and never worry about it. I don't know if my brother will tolerate it? ”

Chao Gai said: "This is a major human affair, health preservation and death, the way of the son of man." How can you and I be happy here, but teach the old father in the family to endure hardships? As a brother, he is not an unreasonable person, how can he not rely on a virtuous brother? ”

Chao Gai also proposed: "The brothers have just returned from Jiangzhou, and they are still in the middle of a long journey, why don't you ask him to wait for a day or two of rest, raise troops for his brother personally, and accompany his brother to fetch his father?" ”

Song Jiang said: "It might as well be a few days later." I am afraid that the Jiangzhou clerk will move to Jeju and pursue the family, if so, the old father will be frightened, and if he is disturbed by this illness, Song Jiang will not be filial. Without further ado. There was no need for others to accompany Song Jiang to fetch it, only Song Jiang sneaked back quietly, and together with his brother Song Qing, he escorted his father up the mountain overnight, and he didn't know it, and he didn't know it. If you bring more troops to go, it will inevitably frighten the township and make it inconvenient to counter-attack. ”

Chao Gai was still not at ease: "In this way, if there is a mistake on the road, no one can save the virtuous brother's family." ”

Song Jiang insisted: "If you are an old father, you will die without resentment." ”

Chao Gai couldn't keep it, and Song Jiang insisted on going home alone to get his family.

Chao Gai could only agree.

Soon, Song Jiang took a felt hat and put it on, carried a short stick, a sharp belt and a blade, and went down the mountain.

Nothing to say all the way.

It is only said that Song Jiang is hungry and thirsty for food and drink, and lives at night.

I finally returned home late at night a day later.

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 to hook every day, and we were not allowed to move, just waiting for the arrival of the documents to catch my family in Jiangzhou, and we would catch our family. The old father is old, how can he escape from the pursuit in a panic? You quickly go to Fengshan and invite the Heavenly King and all the leaders to save the lives of my family and welcome my father up the mountain. ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and went out overnight, preparing to go back to Fengshan to move the rescuers.

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

Song Jiang only cared about running on a secluded path.

After walking for about an hour, Song Jiang only heard someone shouting behind him: "Song Jiang is leaving!" Come early! ”

When Song Jiang looked back, he saw that one or two miles away, there were a large number of torches, and when he looked at it in a hurry, there were no less than forty or fifty people.

Song Jiang secretly regretted: "I regret not listening to Chao Gai's words, and if I don't listen to today's disaster." God is pitiful, save Song Jiang! ”

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

Song Jiang saw a place to go.

It is implied in the book that this is the Huandao Village that Jiang Hongfei couldn't inquire about.

It is in the middle of a high mountain, and there is a stream of water at the bottom 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, so that he had no chance to escape from another place.

Song Jiang could only flee into the village of Huandao, looking for a place to hide.

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

The walls are crumbling, and the temples are tilted. The two corridors are covered with moss, and the ground is full of tiles and green grass. The little ghost in front of the door, the folded arms are not hideous; The judge of the palace, no head is not a courtesy. Spiders on the bed build webs, and ants camp in the incense burner. Foxes often sleep in paper stoves, and bats do not leave the tent of the gods. It is expected that there will be no guests for many years, and I know that there will be clouds every day.

Song Jiang pushed open the temple door and quickly hid in it......

At this time, by the moonlight, dozens of men and women came out of the woods behind Song Jiang.

This group of people is Jiang Hongfei, who fell all the way behind Song Jiang and came to Huandao Village, and his entourage.

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

Jiang Hongfei glanced at Chen Liqing, although Jiang Hongfei didn't say anything, but Chen Liqing also understood what Jiang Hongfei meant: "Is you stupid, follow up, won't Song Jiang find out?" ”

Hu Sanniang, who held back her doubts, asked: "Official, I can't wait to sleep, I stayed outside his house for half a night, and chased him all the way, what is the matter?" ”

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

Everyone was puzzled!

Jiang Hongfei did not explain.

Some time ago, Jiang Hongfei had been busy sending Li Jun to Liuqiu to open up the wasteland and do the right thing for the sky in Qingzhou, and he really didn't care about the opportunity to rob Song Jiang.

As a result, Jiang Hongfei didn't pay attention, and Song Jiang went to Jiangzhou to recruit so many people, which greatly increased the strength of Naitou Mountain.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei could only sigh leisurely: "The protagonist is the protagonist, and if he is not careful, he will become a trend." ”

Based on Song Jiang's experience, Jiang Hongfei speculated that Song Jiang should be about to meet the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

This Nine Heavens Xuannu is a boss bigger than Luo Zhenren, a real immortal.

Thinking that the last time he saw Luo Zhenren, he didn't take advantage of it, Jiang Hongfei had an inexplicable urge to see the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei asked Shi Xiu, who had just built the second intelligence department of Shuibo Liangshan, Jinyiwei, to send someone to keep an eye on Song Jiang, and when Song Jiang returned to Yuncheng, he must inform him in advance.

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

That's what we are today.

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

There was no other place to hide in the vicinity except for the mountains and forests and this ancient temple, so Zhao Neng and Zhao De naturally led people into the temple without hesitation.

After about a pillar of incense, I searched the ancient temple inside and out several times but did not find Zhao Neng and Zhao De of Song Jiang, so I could only take people out of the ancient temple again.

Zhao Neng said with a puzzled face: "This guy is not in the temple, is he hiding in the forest?" ”

At this time, a soldier said: "Come and see, there are two dusty handwritings on the temple gate, and that guy must be in the temple!" ”

Zhao Neng said: "That's right, go in and search carefully." ”

This time, Zhao Neng and Zhao De took people in and searched carefully, but they still didn'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 this village, and they were not afraid that Song Jiang would 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 was curious: "Then Song Heitan obviously entered this ancient temple, why did they search twice but didn't find it?" ”

Hu Sanniang proposed: "Let's go in and have a look?" ”

After speaking, Hu Sanniang looked at Jiang Hongfei expectantly.

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

Only a few people such as Gao Liang and Liu Huiniang saw the extraordinaryness of this ancient temple, and it was quite stable.

Jiang Hongfei didn't say a word of nonsense, only said: "Wait." ”

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

Jiang Hongfei and others waited from dark to sunrise.

Through the morning light, Jiang Hongfei saw that the old plate of the ancient temple was engraved with four golden characters: The Temple of Xuannu!

Jiang Hongfei said in his heart: "Finally asked me to find you, Nine Heavens Xuannu." ”

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

Seeing this, everyone was even more curious, and they didn't understand how Song Jiang escaped Zhao Neng and Zhao De's pursuit?

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 Xian, he has three scriptures in his sleeve, you go and get them for your brother, remember not to teach him to see that it was you who did it......"
