Let’s talk about Liangshan in Shandong.
Chao Gai, known as the "Tower-Bearing Heavenly King" by the local people, hurriedly led his brothers to Zengtou City.
But.
Who could have predicted that it was because Chao Gai's coming down the mountain was too grand, or because someone with ulterior motives deliberately leaked the news.
In short, when Chao Gai and his party were about to reach the city wall of Zengtou City, they were suddenly ambushed by the enemy.
Shi Wengong led his troops to attack from both sides.
Chao Gai only brought 5,000 men, how could he be a match for Shi Wengong?
At the command, he and his brothers turned their horses around and prepared to withdraw.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the enemy had rushed into their own team.
In an instant, a chaotic situation of fighting among the troops was formed.
Chao Gai was an excellent rider. No matter how many arrows the enemy shot at him, he could easily dodge them by just swaying from side to side.
Who would have thought that horses can stumble and people can be careless?
He was shot in the face with an arrow, knocking him off his horse.
The arrow hit his face right in the face.
Seeing that their eldest brother had been shot and fell off his horse, how could the brothers dare to fight for long?
They rescued Chao Gai and rushed out.
However, at this time, he was already unconscious.
When he was sent back to Liangshan, he was already dying.
When Song Jiang and others learned that he would not live long, they were very sad and depressed.
After a while.
Chao Gai woke up with a strong breath.
I saw Song Jiang and others were there.
But the person who shot the arrow was missing.
Whenever I think of this, I feel more depressed.
Logically speaking, there is a high probability of survival if you are shot in the face.
But that arrow is poisonous.
Chao Gai took a deep breath and said his last words, "Take care, my dear brother. If anyone can catch me and shoot me to death, I will make him the leader of Liangshanpo!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he died.
Seeing this, Song Jiang hugged his body and cried loudly, "Shi Wengong! Give me back my brother's life!"
Therefore, everyone in Liangshan believed that it was Shi Wengong who shot and killed Chao Gai.
It is a pity that a generation of grassroots heroes ended in this way.
After Chao Gai's death, Lu Junyi's status in the mountains was no less than Song Jiang's.
Therefore, even though Chao Gai left a will, the brothers in Liangshan had already regarded Song Jiang as the leader of Liangshan.
With this, the ownership of Liangshan Marsh completely changed.
......
Shandong Road.
Langya County.
In a remote village.
This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has fertile land.
It’s just that there are few villagers.
It's a nice and quiet place.
A scholar, eight feet tall, with a handsome face and wearing a silk scarf on his head, was busy plowing the fields with his sleeves rolled up.
Suddenly, at this moment, a servant came running over, shouting, "Sir! Sir!"
Hearing the sound, the scholar looked up at the sky. It was almost noon and time to have a meal and rest.
So he put the hoe in his hand on his shoulder and walked towards the edge of the field.
If others saw his actions and the change of his clothes, they would definitely think that he was not a scholar, but just an ordinary person who only knew how to farm.
"What are you having for lunch today?"
Arriving at the edge of the field, the scholar put his hoe aside and sat down on it regardless of the muddy ground. He looked at the servant boy carrying a lunch box in his hand and smiled.
The servant said, "Mrs. Huang made roast chicken for you today. I'd like to ask you if you would like to go to the market later to buy some of the dumplings that Mrs. Huang likes to eat."
The scholar laughed and said, "Why not buy more and tell the cook at home tonight so that he doesn't have to light a fire to cook and can just eat dumplings."
"Yes, sir."
The servant bowed obediently.
Then he opened the lunch box.
The scholar couldn't wait any longer when he saw the fragrant roast chicken, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
The servant boy stood by and watched.
However, his saliva was almost flowing.
Seeing this, the scholar chuckled and said, "Get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and sit down to eat together."
"Thank you, Mr.
The servant boy was a little nervous, a little excited, but mostly happy.
After all, Mrs. Huang's cooking skills are well-known in the surrounding area.
However, sometimes it is not a good thing for a woman to be too outstanding.
For example, a woman who can cook, is talented, and is beautiful.
Therefore, Mrs. Huang was often falsely accused of being ugly, unable to cook, and a pretentious woman.
After a pause, the servant boy seemed to remember something and said quickly, "Sir, just now I saw the government officials recruiting laborers over there on the city wall.
"If the canal is really built, wouldn't it be much faster for us to travel to Jiangnan? We wouldn't have to endure the bumpy ride in the carriage."
Taking a boat is definitely more stable than driving a horse-drawn carriage all the way.
After all, if the latter encounters a pit or a rock on the way, it is very likely to shake people to the point of being scared to death.
Hearing the sound, Dushu asked curiously, "Do you like Jiangnan so much?"
The servant nodded in confusion and said pretentiously, "Jiangnan is so beautiful, how can I not miss it?"
The scholar burst into laughter and said, "Don't worry, once the canal is built, I will take you to see the splendor of Jiangnan. What do you think?"
Hearing this, the servant lost all interest in eating the roast chicken and said excitedly, "Sir, is it a deal?"
"It's a deal."
The scholar nodded.
The book boy was originally very happy, but suddenly he thought of something and his expression quickly became lonely.
"But sir... I heard that the canal project is too huge and it's not certain whether it can be completed.
