Chapter 75 Everyone has their own plans
Although Chao Gai was the nominal leader, most of the new leaders who came to join him, as well as several small leaders who were annexed, all came for Song Jiang's face.

This is like a new vice president of a company who dilutes the original equity by continuously raising funds, and his shareholding ratio is higher than that of the chairman.

Therefore, when it comes to the "personnel transfer" in Liangshan, Chao Gai cannot make decisions on his own, and he cannot avoid Song Jiang's approval.

Song Jiang's prestige is affected at this time, and he must stabilize Wang Aihu as soon as possible, otherwise the collapse of trust will cause big problems.

There were more than sixty leaders in Liangshan at that time. If Chao Gai disrupted all of them and redeployed them, I believe it would take a while to discuss and reach a conclusion. What's more, Wu Yong was also on his side.

With the protection of the wise man, Song Jiang was not in a hurry even if he left for a moment.

Hei Cuoniao is very good at understanding human nature. When he saw Wang Ying, he did not apologize first, but instead started to scold him harshly, scolding the dwarf tiger to death. He then pointed out various shortcomings of Hu Sanniang and even hinted that this woman would bring bad luck to her husband (Zhu Biao).

By using techniques such as contrast, slander, dragging down and empathy, Wang Ying's anger was quickly turned into emotion.

Seeing Wang Aihushi's eyes filled with tears, Song Jiang used his eloquence and powerful ability to make promises to make this poor fellow a fan again.

It took Song Jiang less than an hour to appease Wang Ying, thinking that Chao Gai was still studying it slowly. But when he returned to the Juyi Hall at 9:00 p.m., the first draft of the personnel adjustment had already been completed.

Taking the list from Wu Yong and looking at it, Song Jiang appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was like a raging storm and tsunami.

What a great King Chao, he is clearly targeting me.

"What do you think, brother? I have just discussed it with the military advisor and I feel that this adjustment is the most appropriate."

"is it?"

Song Jiang looked over with curiosity and asked.

Wu Yong immediately nodded with a smile and explained: "This is mainly what King Chao thought. If Brother Gongming has his own opinion, you might as well say it out and we can discuss it later."

"Let's not talk about the others first. Why are the heroes from Qingfeng Mountain, Huangmen Mountain, Jieyang, and the last person to surrender, Sun Li from Dengzhou, all scattered to different places? Wouldn't they be more effective if they were put together?"

"That's wrong. No matter who they were before, they are one family after they joined Liangshan. They shouldn't be separated from each other. Disrupting the group is to enhance their friendship. What do you think?"

"Uh"

Chao Gai's words left Song Jiang speechless for a moment. He never expected that this former Muramasa could speak such profound truths.

In fact, during Song Jiang's attack on Zhujiazhuang, Chao Gai had been thinking about how to limit Song Jiang's power. He racked his brains for about a month before he came up with this idea.

But the two men are at different levels after all. Although Chao Gai's reasons are tenable, there are more leaders in Liangshan who support Song Jiang, so this tactic of division and disintegration may not achieve the desired effect.

"Brother, what you said is very true, but we should improve our friendship step by step. I think the general direction is correct, but it is not advisable to make it too fragmented at the beginning. For example, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, the three brothers of the Ruan family, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, etc., are all relatives whose blood is thicker than water. There is no need to separate them."

"Row."

Chao Gai left room for bargaining and made unreasonable arrangements on the surface, just waiting for Song Jiang to bring it up, and then he stroked his beard and nodded in affirmation.

"Brother, what you said is right. I will make adjustments based on your opinion later. Do you have anything else?"

"As for the rest... Hey? Why did brother let Yang Chang go to look after the horses? He can't even ride a horse, so he can only be considered the leader of the infantry."

After the [lobbying coin] expired, Yang Chang felt uncomfortable with Song Jiang, thinking that this young man was only interested in beauty and would not listen to advice, so he could not become his confidant, so he did not intend to let him get real power. His reasons for rebuttal were very sufficient, but Chao Gai had his own set of arguments.

"If you don't know how to ride a horse, you can learn. I heard that your sister is very good at riding horses. I think Yang Chang can help her to supervise the war horses and she will be able to fulfill her duties."

"Brother, no matter how brave my sister is, she is still a woman. Just let her take care of our father and raise our children. As for Yang Sanlang, you can put her together with Silang." "Silang?"

Chao Gai was startled when he heard this. "He and Zhu Futi arranged the banquet. I heard that Yang Chang is very good at martial arts. This arrangement is a waste of his talent."

"Brother, you don't know that Yang Chang's greatest skill is not martial arts but cooking. If you have eaten the buns he made, you will definitely praise them highly."

"This"

Song Jiang's words were well-reasoned and Chao Gai was unable to refute them for a moment, but he was unwilling to "retreat step by step", so he tried to procrastinate.

He pondered for a moment, skipped Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang, pointed at the list and asked, "Brother, do you have any opinions on the other arrangements?"

"Of course there is."

Chao Gai thought Song Jiang was going to quit while he was ahead, but unexpectedly, the Black Bird wanted to export more.

"For example, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, and Zheng Tianshou, they had come out of Qingfeng Mountain together before, and it was not wrong for them to disperse to different places to enhance their friendship, but why were Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou sent to guard the hotel? I think this is a little inconsiderate."

"What do you think is the best arrangement?"

"This"

Chao Gai was particularly calm today, which made Song Jiang nervous. He then tentatively said, "Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou are quite skilled in martial arts and have experience in commanding hundreds of followers. They should be assigned to various camps as generals to guard them."

According to Chao Gai's latest deployment, in addition to the three newly added hotels (intelligence stations) on the east, west and north sides, there are also the Jinshatan small village, the Yazuitan small village, the Shannan water village, the Shanqian Majun village, the Shanhou Majun village, the Shanzui dry village, the Shanyou dry village and the Shanshan big village.

The big village on the top of the mountain has the most chiefs and followers, followed by the dry villages on the left and right sides of the mountain, then the water village and the front and back cavalry villages, and finally the small villages of Jinshatan and Yazuitan. They mainly assist in defending the ferry, and have the least followers assigned to them among the eight villages.

Among the eight camps, the only ones that belong to Song Jiang's confidants are the Shanzuo dry camp of Hua Rong and Qin Ming, and the Shanqian cavalry camp of Huang Xin and Yan Shun.

Song Jiang took a fancy to the Ma Junzhai in the back mountain and wanted to replace Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang with Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou.

But before he could tell his purpose, Chao Gai interrupted him and said, "In this case, let Wang Ying go to Yazui Beach and Zheng Tianshou go to Jinsha Beach."

"Um"

Song Jiang frowned and twirled his beard, thinking that Jinshatan was the Tong brothers, Yazuitan was the Zou uncle and nephew, and it would be meaningless for Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou to be the main generals, as they only had one or two hundred followers.

"Two leaders for each of these two small camps is enough. Why not let Wang and Zheng go to the Ma Jun Camp in the back mountain? After all, Yang Chang and my sister are free now."

"Isn't this bad?"

Chao Gai finally stopped compromising and seized Song Jiang's weakness to fight back. "I heard that Yang Chang once fought against Wang and Zheng alone and was not at a disadvantage. Your sister even captured Wang Aihu alive on the battlefield. Letting the two of them guard the Ma Junzhai in the back mountain may make the brothers dissatisfied."

"Isn't Yang Chang going to help Silang? Sanniang also has to stay in the mountains to take care of her husband and children and take care of the elderly."

"It's a waste of talent to let Yang Chang be a vassal. Your sister's martial arts skills should not be buried. If you can't serve the old man well, I will send more followers. I have already set my sights on Yang Chang and his wife in the Ma Junzhai behind the mountain. As the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when selecting talents. My dear brother, please don't mind and stop me."

Chao Gai spoke so forcefully that Song Jiang's heart tightened after hearing it.

Since Chao Gai said this, he could only think of a compromise to settle Wang Ying. After all, he had just made a promise to the dwarf tiger.
