Chapter 26: Broken Dreams, Chai Jin Gambling
At dusk a day later, among a huge mountain range with green mountains and green mountains, on the top of a peak, Lin Chong was standing on top, Lu Zhishen followed him, not far away, a mountain village was filled with fire, and it seemed that many people were drinking and talking.
After a long silence, Lin Chong smiled bitterly and said, "I understand."
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhishen asked in confusion. Since they went up the mountain, Lin Chong seemed to have had a lot of worries.
"Brother, what do you think of Xiang Chong and others?" Lin Chong suddenly asked indifferently.
"Martial arts are pretty good, especially the flying knife makes you look a little bit more elegant, but judging from what you do, it seems to be a little bit past," Lu Zhishen frowned.
"Why do you think they are better than you?" Lin Chong said again.
"This" Lu Zhi smiled deeply and said, "I can hit them three."
"What about brother?"
"They are not your brothers' opponents," Lu Zhishen said proudly.
Hearing this, Lin Chong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you go back to the village first and let Brother Chai come to see me."
"Yes" Lu Zhishen left in confusion.
Lin Chong was alone, blowing the mountain wind, and murmured: "I seem to understand a little. Song Jiang, Song Jiang, the heroes in the book are beautified after all. Is this the hero of Water Margin? Eight-arm Nezha Xiang Chong, the demon king Fan Rui, and the flying saint Li Gun, the names are really louder and louder. Later generations seem to have some myths and legends about them. It is ridiculous and ridiculous to be able to set up formations."
Since leaving Yanggu, Lin Chong has been looking forward to the Shengjing of Liangshan, all kinds of heroes. In order to meet quickly, he even gave up to see Chao Gai first. However, when he passed by Mangdang Mountain, a large number of bandits were killing people and intercepting goods, and even the old people and children were not letting go. Wu Song was so angry that he couldn't help it when he saw this scene. He rushed out immediately and the battle naturally broke out. Originally, Lin Chong thought that this must be a bloody battle, but unexpectedly, only ten bandits died, and only ten were killed in the shape of birds and beasts. Lin Chong directly killed a leader using a meteor hammer with a knife. After holding the man's head, he was shocked by the other two people. After being defeated by Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, he immediately took off his horse and surrendered. Later, after knowing his true identity, he was even more excited and bowed immediately.
Next, Lin Chong realized that he was killing the future hero of Water Margin, Fan Rui, known as the devil king of the world, and the other two were the eight-armed Nezha Xiang Chong and the Feitian Great Saint Li Gun.
After knowing all this, Lin Chong not only wasn't happy, but he felt relieved. This is the hero of Water Margin. Perhaps for ordinary people, he is indeed very good, but for Lin Chong, it is simply not as good as he!
In this way, the 108 generals are simply imaginary numbers, and except for some famous ones that are passed down from generation to generation, they are simply not worth mentioning.
This incident woke him up from the beautiful dream of Liangshan. He originally thought that the heroes in the Water Margin should be similar to the Three Kingdoms. Now it seems that he is completely wrong. The heroes in the Three Kingdoms are all real commanders of all armies, with the strength of the bloody battlefield. The coverage area of the war covers the world of China and is a real hero. Although Water Margin seems to be loud, it is actually circling in several states. These states are not the state of the Three Kingdoms, but just similar to a few cities in their previous lives.
No wonder Song Jiang seemed to be in great momentum, but he was still a bandit, and he didn't even have a solid base. Just a slight fright, the army that fled in all directions was a miracle that could conquer ordinary prefectures, let alone attacking Kaifeng, where there were more than 100,000 imperial guards. No wonder Fang La, who claimed to be the largest in the late Northern Song Dynasty and occupied more than a dozen prefectures, could not even hold on to the uprising and attacking for a short year. This is enough to show how the imperial guards attacked cities and villages at that time.
He suddenly understood that Song Jiang, he gathered heroes from all walks of life with his loyalty and kindness, but he did not have the name of orthodox. These brothers gathered because of their loyalty. What they wanted was not a panic, but a leisurely life. When they were drunk today, their hearts would have long dispersed. Once Song Jiang was a little stricter, they would rather find a mountain range, set up camps, and live the life they wanted. Therefore, Song Jiang has always been very tolerant of his brothers, but this tolerance made Liangshan just a place to hide. Everyone who committed crimes and those who could not live in all places ran over. How could they go long? Liangshan's development reached a certain level and would be imprisoned. Song Jiang accepted the invitation, perhaps because he felt that if this continued, even if it was okay now, even if they were old for decades, what should they do?
I used to think that Song Jiang was foolish, but now it seems that it is not. What can he do? Will he take a group of brothers who have committed murder, theft, eat and drink wine and meat all day long, and always dominate the world? Will the people be convinced?
In addition, the so-called Liangshan heroes are actually not real heroes except those in the upper class, but just follow them to agree.
If this is the case, why did Lin Chong work hard? Although Song Jiang has too high martial arts skills, will those Liangshan people who are already entrenched in various places be the same because of your martial arts skills?
That is impossible. Lu Zhishen is his elder brother. So, he obeyed the order. Wu Song had not even mentioned Chai Jin. Those who had already climbed the mountain all day long thought about getting something for nothing, and in name, robbing the rich and helping the poor. So where did he help the poor? Kill a group of people and support the people in the village?
This is not robbing the rich and helping the poor, this is hating the rich.
Once you strictly demand them, they will be in a flash.
There is nothing wrong with gathering talents and heroes, but in this way, everything must be under the system. For this reason, even if half of these 108 generals die, it is worth it. Only with true control with iron blood can we cast a king's army.
But how to incorporate these people into the system? He is now a fugitive, and there is no difference between these people who go up the mountain. It’s just that his martial arts are better. If he forcefully, it will not be effective. Instead, it will cause riots. As for the so-called kingly aura, it is even more a joke. The true kingly aura is brought about by power, status, and army, rather than automatically generated.
Although treacherous ministers are in power, all parts of the country are still under the control of the court. There is no separatist rule by the princes and no rebellion covering the whole country. The people are still interested in the Song Dynasty, so he cannot hold up the banner and shout the slogan of destroying the Song Dynasty.
"What should I do?" Lin Chong suddenly hit the huge rock with heavy hammers. This is why he did not go to Liangshan. He only let Xiaoliu pass by. Even Liu Tang, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen have no school. If he can't figure this out, it will be useless if he goes there.
"Teacher" At this time, Chai Jin's voice sounded from behind.
Lin Chong woke up instantly, turned to look at Chai Jin with a serious face, and reluctantly smiled, "Brother Chai, here you come."
"Teacher, I heard from Brother Lu that you seem to be in a bad mood," Chai Jin said.
"No, come, sit down" Lin Chong said with his hand.
"No need, coach, Chai Jin understands your troubles." Chai Jin's eyes narrowed and he suddenly clasped his fists.
Lin Chong smiled, stood up slowly, and said, "Brother Chai, you misunderstood."
"No! Teacher, you have talent and general strategy, but you really lack an opportunity. I originally thought that going to Liangshan and gathering heroes would definitely make great achievements. But looking at today's feelings, even if these people go, they can only show their momentum. They burn, kill, loot for their own interests, but in fact they are unpopular. If they can come here, they are all people who have committed troubles everywhere. Such people can only show their power and cannot determine the foundation," Chai Jin said seriously.
Hearing this, Lin Chong smiled bitterly, knew that Chai Jin had guessed it, and sighed: "Brother Chai is the one who knows me."
"Teacher, please tell Chai Jin what you plan to do," Chai Jin whispered loudly.
"I need a title. The court gives a title. I don't need a knife or a sword. I don't even need a grain or grass from the court. I just want a name to conquer all walks of life, mountains and water in Shandong. As long as I give it to me, I can completely transform the heroes of all walks of life, take over the soldiers of all walks of life for my own use, govern them in the name of orthodox, and cast the army of kings." Lin Chong said loudly.
Chai Jin's eyes narrowed, and after a little silence, he clasped his fists and said, "Teacher, please give me a month's work. Chai Jin will definitely get this title for you."
"Brother Chai" Lin Chong was shocked.
"Teacher, Chai Jin will use all his family wealth and iron coupons to help you sneak out of the abyss." A trace of firmness flashed in Chai Jin's eyes.
"Danshu Iron Certificate" Lin Chong's pupils shrank, and he walked step by step to Chai Jin and held his hand: "Brother Chai, that's your life-saving thing!"
"The Chai family has long been declining, and there is only this little barrier. Chai Jin is willing to take a gamble," Chai Jin said sincerely.
Hearing this, a trace of emotion flashed across Lin Chong's face. He suddenly bowed deeply to Chai Jin, and then said firmly: "Brother Chai, if this matter can be accomplished, I, Lin Chong, can swear to the vast world, I will definitely return you thousands of times. To be honest, if Lin Chong is a Duke, the Chai family will be a marquis, if Lin Chong is a king, the Chai family will be a duke, and if Lin Chong is an emperor, the Chai family will be a king forever."
