Water Margin, Chapter 67: riassunto

Cosa succede

1. Reports of stolen horses bring Song Jiang’s forces against Zengtou City, where Wu Yong scouts and defeats the defenders’ pit traps.
2. Fighting kills Zeng Tu, wounds Li Kui and Qin Ming, and ends with a failed night raid against Liangshan’s empty camp.
3. Peace negotiations bring hostages and returned horses, but Shi Wengong refuses to surrender his prized mount.
4. Yu Baosi changes sides and deceives the defenders into another raid, allowing Liangshan forces to seize their camps.
5. With Chao Gai’s ghost obstructing Shi Wengong’s escape, Lu Junyi captures him; Liangshan destroys the Zeng family and returns with plunder.
6. The chiefs sacrifice Shi Wengong to Chao Gai, then dispute the leadership until Song Jiang proposes another means of deciding.

Cosa notare

Wu Yong states the arrangement favored by the chiefs. It conflicts with Song Jiang’s argument that Chao Gai’s instruction gives Lu Junyi the leading position.
