Zhao Yue, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, twice transformed into Song Jiang in "Water Margin". For the first time, with his naive desire to "recruit", he tried to find a way out of Liangshan in the name of "loyalty", but in the end he could not escape the ending of the betrayal of the treacherous ministers and the tragic death of his brothers - the expedition of Fang La lost his troops, a glass of poisonous wine broke the hero's soul, the scenes of Li Kui being buried with him, Wu Song having his arm broken, and Lin Chong dying with hatred became his eternal nightmare.
His obsession at the end of his life actually made him reborn at a critical point after three attacks on Zhujiazhuang. This time, Chao Gai was not dead, and the foundation of Liangshan was initially established, but Zhao Yue only had a bloody lesson left in his heart: Recruitment is a dead end, and the court cannot be trusted!
With the memory of his first failure, he worked step by step: correcting the consequences of Li Kui's killing of Xiaoyamen and preserving Zhu Tong; preventing Chao Gai's death in Zengtou City, and smoothly taking over the power of Liangshan; tearing apart the pretense of the imperial court's recruitment of security, and establishing a separatist base in Shandong under the banner of "protecting the territory and the people". He is no longer the "Hu Baoyi", but wants to be the helmsman in troubled times - building agriculture and mulberry, making ordnance, uniting with Fangla, rejecting Tongguan, working in the cracks of Song, Liao and Jin, and accumulating strength before the Jingkang Incident.
When the Jin army crushed Tokyo with its iron hoofs, and when Zhao Gou went south to Pian'an, Liangshan led by Song Jiang was no longer a grassroots bandit who acted for heaven, but a Shandong barrier that raised the banner of "anti-Jin and Baohan". He wanted to keep a hundred and eight generals alive, to protect the people of Qilu from the iron heel, and to find a way out of Liangshan in this unprecedented change in three hundred years.
This is a story about Song Jiang, who carries the memories of two lives, reversing the deadlock between loyalty and rebellion, life and death, rivers and lakes, and family and country.
