What is the cause of Chao Gai's death in "Water Margin"? **It's in Liangshan, but unfortunately no one dares to move.
Who killed Chao Gai at the water's edge? **It's in Liangshan, but no one dares to move.
In Shi Nai'an's "Water Margin", the heroes of Liangshan are all brave and good at fighting, but they have different personalities. When it comes to Liangshan heroes, people usually think of one hundred and eight generals, but the strange thing is that the former leader of Liangshanbo,"Pagoda Heavenly King"Chao Gai is not one of them. In theory, his identity and status should be respected, but in practice he is not respected.
Chao Gai was once Liangshan"Top Hands", appears earlier in the book, but his death is unusual. The ** who killed him had already been revealed in his last words, but no one dared to avenge him.
Qualified Big Brother.
Speaking of Liangshan's eldest brother, most people first think of Song Jiang, and it turns out that readers know that Liangshan has three eldest brothers. The first one is"White-clothed Xiushi"Wang Lun, with average martial arts and superficial personality, can be said to be average in martial arts and average in knowledge. The reason why he was able to become the lord of the city was entirely because he went up the mountain earlier and took advantage of the time and place.
Although Wang Lun saw that Liangshan was a treasure of feng shui, others also knew this, so Lin Chong insisted on fighting Wang Lun to the death. Yangsan is a dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if he decides to establish a base here, sooner or later he will be able to grow and develop. However, Lin Chong did not compete for the position of city lord, but gave up the position of Chao Gai's eldest brother.
This decision shows Lin Chong's wisdom. On the one hand, he succeeded in occupying the treasure land of Feng Shui, and on the other hand, he avoided it"Usurp the throne of the lord of the city"of accusations. Chao Gai is a truly qualified brother, generous and benevolent, and strong in martial arts. According to the book, his martial arts are far above the Song River, and no matter how you look at it, he is an ideal candidate for the position of the owner of the village.
Death of Big Brother.
As we all know, Chao Gai was unfortunately killed in the Battle of Zengtou City. At that time, Zengtou City took away the war horse that Song Jiang gave to Chao Gai, offending the heroes of Liangshan. As the eldest brother, Chao Gai had to personally instruct his brothers in order to protect their honor.
In order to preserve the glory of Liangshan, Chao Gai decided to conquer Ma Chao again, and it was honorably conscripted. This time, Chao Gai led 20 leaders, including Lin Chong and other masters. They led a three-way army, which was more difficult to fight.
Halfway through the battle, a cold arrow suddenly flew in. Chao Gai fell off his horse, pulled out his arrow and looked at it, it was written"Shi Wengong"Three words. Shortly after the arrow, Chao Gai remounted and died shortly after.
Some people once thought that Chao Gai was shot to death by Shi Wengong, but a sentence that Chao Gai said to his brothers shortly before his death made Chao Gai's death even more confusing. He woke up suddenly, looked at Song Jiang and the others and said:"Whoever can catch the person who shot me is the master of Liang Shanbo. "
Hearing this, everyone changed, especially Song Jiang. Prior to this, Chao Gai had been cultivating Song Jiang to become his own ** person, if it weren't for that sentence, Song Jiang would naturally become the city lord after Chao Gai's death. As soon as Chao Gai said this, people undoubtedly thought that there was something strange about him being shot by an arrow.
Doubt everything. Since then, many people who have read "Water Margin" have had similar doubts. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when the famous writer Jin Shengxi interpreted "Water Margin", he skillfully speculated the cause of Chao Gai's death, and believed that the culprit who killed Chao Gai was Song Jiang, the third master of Liangshanbo.
Just as Chao Gai led his troops to attack Zengtou City, the wind tore the military flag in half, which was an obvious bad omen. Everyone must have known this, but they were all silent, and only Wu Yong suggested stopping the siege for a few days.
This is obviously strange. According to Jin Shengwei, Song Jiang was already the de facto leader of Liangshan, so many people thought that Chao Gai would lose the battle.
Chao Gai was injured for the second time, and everyone did not stop immediately, but continued to fight, refusing to back down. After returning to Liangshan, the crowd did not call the doctor in time, but gathered around the bed and cried, obviously unwilling to the fact that Chao Gai was destined to die.
Why did Song Jiang force this brother to death? The most important of these is that the goals of the two men are diametrically opposed. We know that Song Jiang wanted to be a soldier and always encouraged the heroes of Liangshan to accept him. Although Chao Gai was forced to go to Liangshan, he was a liberal, so he never accepted conscription.
At that time, Liangshan was still ostensibly led by Chao Gai. Due to Chao Gai's refusal to move in, the plan could not be implemented. Therefore, Song Jiang must get rid of Chao Gai in order to realize his dream of being promoted to become rich.
After Chao Gai's death, Song Jiang, who had been in charge of the house, naturally became the owner of the house. At this time, who would dare to oppose him? After Song Jiang ascended the throne, Liangshan quickly carried out a series of personnel transfers. At this moment, as long as he no longer cares about the future, no one will object to setting up a new master for the late elder brother. With the gradual expansion of Song Jiang's power in Liangshan, Chao Gai's death became a slip of the tongue, and no one dared to mention it again. It can be seen that Song Jiang is a far-sighted but hypocritical person.
