It is said that Song Jiang was originally the custodian of Yuncheng County, Shandong Province. He was famous for his daily righteousness, distributing wealth, and helping those in need. He secretly released Chao Gai and his party who had kidnapped the birthday card, and then furiously killed Yan Poxi, who was not abiding by women's ethics. He went to Qingfeng Village to seek refuge with Hua Rong. However, while watching the lanterns, he was framed by the wife of Liu Gao of Zhizhai Village and imprisoned. He was rescued by Yan Shun and others on the way to Qingzhou. Song's father lied in his letter that he had died of illness. Song Jiang went to the funeral alone but was caught and sent to Jiangzhou. One day, he was drunk and wrote an anti-poetry in Xunyanglou, Jiangzhou, and was sentenced to death. However, someone in the court came up with a plan, saying that if Song Jiang could be allowed to overthrow Liangshan, wouldn't it be possible to kill two birds with one stone? So the imperial court secretly negotiated with Song Jiang, asking Song Jiang to overthrow Liangshan, allowing the imperial court to successfully integrate Liangshan, and then use Liangshan troops to defeat Fang La. In this way, the imperial court could easily eliminate the two major uprising rebels. The condition was that Song Jiang would be exempted from the death penalty and promised a high official and generous salary. Song Jiang was tempted, agreed to the imperial court, and became a double agent from then on. So on the day of execution, he pretended to be rescued by Liangshan troops and went up the mountain to fall into the grass. Whenever there was a war in Liangshanbo, Song Jiang took the initiative to go out to fight, and his prestige in the village was rising day by day. Chao Gai was defeated and Zeng Toushi died, and Song Jiang was elected to the top spot by everyone. At this time, the imperial court found him and asked him to fulfill his promise and lead Liangshan to accept the imperial edict. After accepting the invitation, Song Jiang led the Liangshan troops to fight in the south and north, and successively pacified the Liao Kingdom, Tian Hu in Hebei, Wang Qing in Huaixi, and La in Jiangnan, and successfully won the title. However, he was framed by the traitorous ministers in the court, drank poisonous wine, and ended his life.
