Why is Chao Gai s death so strange in Water Margin ?

In order to make up 108 generals, the author had to remove the cover.

Song Jiang's prestige at that time was already there, and the leader of the heroes of Liangshan in history was Song Jiang.

No book can be written without coincidence, and this is the inevitable result of Chao Gai's death.

Chao Gai, a character in the Chinese classic ** "Water Margin", the second owner of Liangshanbo, a native of Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Shandong, Baozheng of Dongxi Village, and the rich man of his hometown. He has excellent martial arts, outstanding martial arts, righteousness and wealth in his life, righteousness and thin clouds, loves to make friends with heroes in the world, and is famous in the rivers and lakes.

He likes to stab the gun and make the stick, is strong, does not marry a wife, and works hard all day long, and is a good man who really dares to ask for the people's life, showing his heroic nature like a sea. Legend has it that the neighboring village of Xixi Village was haunted, and the villagers dug a bluestone pagoda town by the stream, and the ghost was driven to Dongxi Village. Chao Gai was furious, so he went to Xixi Village to take the bluestone pagoda alone and put it down in Dongxi Village, so he was called the King of Tota.

Later, because of his conspiracy with Liu Tang, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Ruan's three heroes to outwit the Shengchengang, he was chased and killed by the government after the incident, and had to go to Liangshan to fall into the grass. Because Wang Lun, the owner of Liangshan Bo Village, was jealous of talent and could not be compatible, Wu used Zhiqi Lin to rush into the fire and Wang Lun, and everyone pushed Chao Gai as the owner of the village. When Song Jiang was in distress because of the anti-poem inscription in Xunyang Tower, Chao Gai and other Liangshan heroes robbed the Jiangzhou Law Field together and rescued Song Jiang and Dai Zong.

Later, in the battle against Zengtou City, he was shot in the cheek by a poisoned arrow and died.

Many people believe that Song Jiang assassinated Chao Gai. In fact, this is the worst time Song Jiang has been hacked.

The battle of Zengtou City was the first time that Chao sent troops after covering Liangshan, but the result was unfavorable, not to mention the defeat, and even he got in. He mistakenly believed the words of the two monks, was ambushed, was hit by a poisoned arrow in the face, and died after only two watches. On that poisonous arrow, there are three words engraved "Shi Wengong".

There are always people who say that Shi Wengong is a master and disdains to use poisoned arrows.

Some people also say that the author did not explicitly say that it was Shi Wengong who shot Chao Gai to death; Even, some people openly say that it was Song Jiang who arranged for someone (Hua Rong, Hu Yanzhuo, and others) to secretly shoot Chao Gai to death, completing the attempt to seize power and become the owner of the village. However, there is no evidence at all, it is all speculation, or so-called speculation.

In fact, in the original work of Water Margin, the author has long said that it was Shi Wengong who shot Chao Gai, and said it twice.

Chao Gai said: "It's not for this. Brother back, the yang is pressing, I don't dare to come closer. Today, I have come to report to you, the virtuous brother has a hundred days of blood and light disaster, and it can be cured except for the Jiangnan Spirit Star. —Water Margin

When Song Jiang attacked the Daimyo's Mansion, he was physically and mentally exhausted because he couldn't attack it for a long time, so he had a dream. In the dream, Chao Gai told him that there would be a bloody disaster within 100 days, unless the Earth Spirit Star (An Daoquan) could save him, and advised him to withdraw his troops as soon as possible.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, people are omnipotent after death and can see many things in advance. Later, it turned out that Chao Gai was right, Song Jiang suffered from a back sore and almost died, if Zhang Shun hadn't brought An Daoquan in time, he would have really hung up.

Also, when Lu Junyi fought Shi Wengong, it was actually thanks to Chao Gai's soul.

Shi Wengong was walking, only to see the clouds rising, the air conditioning was blowing, the black fog was long, the wind was blowing, and there was a person in the void, so he should stay on the way. Shi Wen suspected that he was a divine soldier, and he returned to the horse, east and west, north and south, and the four sides were entangled by Chao Gai's ghosts. —Water Margin

Shi Wengong and Lu Junyi didn't fight at all, after being haunted by Chao Gai's ghost, as soon as he turned around, he was stabbed in the leg by Lu Junyi with a knife, and then he was tied up directly.

Saving Song Jiang in a dream, and apparition to haunt Shi Wengong, this is what Chao Gai did after his death. These two events fully prove that Chao Gai's death has nothing to do with him, otherwise Chao Gai's ghost will directly seek revenge on him, and will he still help him? It also directly proves that Chao Gai was shot to death by Shi Wengong and has nothing to do with others.

Therefore, after Shi Wengong was arrested, he was dragged to Liang Shan's spiritual position in front of Chao Gai, and finally he was disemboweled, and there was no rebuttal.

It's Shi Wengong, because this is clearly recorded in the Water Margin, and the author has twice said that he was the one who killed Chao Gai.

It was Song Jiang who shot Chao Gai to death, because at that time, Lin Chong found that the arrow that shot Chao Gai was not sent by Shi Wengong, and he accidentally heard the inside story, so Song Jiang killed him.

It was Shi Wengong who shot Chao Gai, and many people in Liangshan saw it, so there was a saying that whoever killed Shi Wengong could be the boss later.

In "Water Margin", different readers have different views on the death of Chao Gai. According to the official description, Chao Gai died in Zengtou City and was shot by Shi Wengong's poisoned arrow. Some readers have different views on this description, believing that Chao Gai died in the battle for the top spot in Liangshan, and the person who secretly ordered to kill Chao Gai was none other than Song Jiang, who ranked second.

I personally don't agree with this statement, although I personally don't like Song Jiang's style of acting, but according to his personality, he will definitely not do such a thing as hurting people with hidden arrows. Such a statement is just a conspiracy theory that is dark in the reader's heart.

Liangshan Shuibo has changed several leaders, first Wang Lun who has no virtue and no talent, then Chao Gai, and finally Hubaoyi Song Jiang. If Chao Gai didn't take the initiative to attack Zengtou City, he wouldn't have been killed. After Chao Gai was hit by the arrow, some people felt that Song Jiang secretly arranged for Hua Rong to do it, and blamed Shi Wengong.

According to such a corollary, Chao Gai's death is indeed Liangshan's biggest secret, and no one dares to break it. No one wants to offend the current boss Song Jiang, if someone breaks Song Jiang, I think it will not end well, not to mention being expelled from Liangshan Shuibo, and will be pushed to the edge.

Chao Gai's death was Shi Wengong's doing, which can be seen from the description in the book, after Chao Gai's death in the book, there were two "apparitions" to help Liangshan heroes. The first time was to remind Song Jiang to withdraw his troops, otherwise there would be a bloody disaster; The second time was to help Lu Junyi, capture Shi Wengong alive, and avenge himself in the sea of blood.

If Chao Gai was killed by Song Jiang's conspiracy, I think Chao Gai will definitely not help Song Jiang, but ask Song Jiang for his life. From Chao Gai's manifestation to help Lu Junyi and capture Shi Wengong alive, it can be seen that the person who killed Chao Gai is undoubtedly Shi Wengong.

Chao Gaikong has the title of Heavenly King, but he does not have the strength of Heavenly King, so he will fall before Liangshan Juyi. What do you think about the cause of his death?

is because he died mysteriously as the leader of Liangshan, which means that Liangshan must have internal ghosts, and this secret cannot be known to outsiders, otherwise it will be known that the heroes of Liangshan have broken up.

It was because Chao Gai was killed by Song Jiang, because he fought against Song Jiang, Song Jiang was not serious for a while, but everyone was afraid of Song Jiang, so they didn't dare to say it.

She was the biggest leader and hero in Liangshan, but she died secretly because she was poisoned by the imperial court.

Summary. At that time, Chao Gai mistakenly believed the words of the two monks, and then did not listen to the dissuasion of the leaders, and rode out with Hu Yanzhuo and others, but was ambushed by the other party. In the process of escaping, Chao Gai encountered a military horse, and then ushered in a volley of arrows.

How did Chao Gai die in "Water Margin"? Who killed it?

At that time, Chao Gai mistakenly believed the words of the two monks, and then did not listen to the dissuasion of the leaders, and rode out with Hu Yanzhuo and others, but was ambushed by the other party. In the process of Chao Gai's escape, Chunlian encountered a military horse, and then ushered in a volley of arrows.

Who is the specific Ming Xiao who provoked the arrow released by the draft? No one knows, maybe it's Shi Wengong, maybe it's a little minion, anyway, the arrows are fired together, who knows who put it. So Chao Gai's death does not carry too much suspense.
