Sung River failed to stop Lin from killing Gao Qiu.
Actually, it's not that Song Jiang didn't kill Gao Qiu, but that Song Jiang didn't dare to kill, couldn't kill, and didn't want to kill Gao Qiu.
First of all, Gao Qiu is a court official. Although he was greedy and cruel, he coaxed Hui Zong very well and was deeply loved by Huizong. If Sung River kills Gao Qiu, it will inevitably cause Hui Zong's anger. Although the Song Dynasty at that time had begun to decline gradually, it was easy to really make up your mind to destroy a bandit organization, so Song Jiang couldn't kill Gao Qiu.
Secondly, after Song Jiang became the leader of Liangshan, he thought he could get the favor of the court, and then led his brothers to live a stable life. Gao Qiu is a red man around the emperor. He is also the chief military officer of the imperial court and a senior official of Qiu. He has the ability to decide to win over Liangshan. If Gao Qiu is killed, it will be half the battle. So after the request for harness failed, Sung River decided to take the initiative to capture Gao Qiu alive, forcing Gao Qiu to agree to harness him. In order to woo, sung river can't kill Gao Qiu.
Finally, Song Jiang and Gao Qiu did not have a great hatred. Lin Chong and Gao Qiu had revenge for killing their wives. Many other people in Liangshan officialdom have a little hatred with Gao Qiu more or less. But there is not much conflict between Song Jiang and Gao Qiu. Song Jiang was just a petty official, wanted by the court for accidentally killing someone, and Jiangzhou was almost beheaded for being harmed by a villain, which had nothing to do with Gao Qiu. In addition, if sung river woo success, Gao Qiu is likely to be his boss. For the sake of his future, Sung River didn't want to kill Gao Qiu.
This is why Song Jiang didn't kill Gao Qiu.
Why did Song Jiang get poisoned? After Song Jiang was recruited, he was arranged by the imperial court to explore the East and West. Song Jiang was not liked by the imperial court at that time. Song Jiang's men and himself were looked down upon by the orthodox officials of the court because they were gangsters. Finally, Sung River was poisoned by treacherous court official Gao Qiu with poisoned wine, so why was Sung River poisoned?
Song Jiang drank poisoned wine.
Treacherous court official Gao Qiu poisoned Sung River for two main reasons:
First, because the hatred between Gao Qiu and Song Jiang has a long history, anyone who has seen the Water Margin should know that Gao Qiu was a big traitor in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he harmed many people for his own power. Above Liangshan, many people were directly or indirectly framed by Gao Qiu. The most typical one is Lin Chong, who was originally the imperial coach of 800,000 in Tokyo and lived a carefree and happy life with his wife. It was because Gao Qiu's son Gao Yanei took a fancy to his wife that he was persecuted by Gao Qiu, and finally he could only kill people in Liangshan. So these people in Liangshan have no good impression on Gao Qiu, plus Song led the Liangshan army to defeat Gao Qiu three times, including losing Gao Qiu's face in front of his colleagues, so Gao Qiu was very dissatisfied with Song Jiang.
Second, it lies in Song Jiang himself. Song Jiang didn't mix in the imperial court. He doesn't understand the rules above the court. Song Jiang has only been a small official, and his experience in officialdom is different from that after wooing. In Song Jiang's eyes, the boss of the Song Dynasty court must be Hui Zong. He regarded the imperial court as his own thatched cottage and thought that Hui Zong had a dominant position in the imperial court. In fact, his judgment is wrong. At that time, although Song Huizong was the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, the whole court was controlled by treacherous court officials such as Gao Qiu and Cai Jing, and Hui Zong had no real power. And Song Jiang put all his thoughts on Hui Zong. Although he was appreciated by Hui Zong, he was envied by Cai Jing and Gao Qiu.
Later, Sung River fought in Fang La. After coming back, Song Huizong gave him wine to appease Song Jiang. Gao Qiu got in the way, turned the wine into poisoned wine, and finally poisoned Song Jiang. This is the reason why Song Jiang was poisoned.
At the end of the novel, Song Jiang, the tomb of Song Jiang, was framed by traitors such as Gao Qiu and died of poisoning in his royal wine. According to Song Jiang's living will, he was not sent back to Liangshan Park for burial after his death. Finally, Song Jiang's tomb is in a place called Liaoerwa, because the scenery there is very similar to that of Liang Shanbo.

It turned out that Song Jiang was appointed as the envoy and military commander of Chuzhou by the court, so he went to Chuzhou to live for a period of time. Moreover, he often went out to play, and found Liao Erwa outside the south gate, where there were mountains in the middle, water on all sides, beautiful scenery and shady pines and cypresses. Song Jiang was very happy to see that the geomantic omen here was very good, just like "Scenery Water Margin". After that, he came here as soon as he was free, and he decided to use this place as his grave.
Soon, Song Jiang was poisoned by royal wine. After discovering the poisoning, he was worried about the rebellion in jy, Li Kui, so he called him to cheat him and drank the poisoned wine. Then, Song Jiang told Li Kui jy the truth and said that he would be buried in Liaoerwa after his death. So, Song Jiang's mausoleum was placed in the depths of the plateau, and Li Kui II was buried beside it. Later, Song Jiang gave Wu Yong and Hua Rong a dream. They found his grave one after another, hanged themselves in front of the grave together, and were buried next to Song Jiang's grave after their death. Besides, Song Qing knew that after his brother died, because he was seriously ill, he could not travel far, so he had to let his family come to pay homage to Song Jiang's tomb, guard and build it.
The local people in Chuzhou sympathized with what happened to Song Jiang and others, so they later built an ancestral temple in front of his grave and came to worship devoutly every spring and autumn. Some people came here to pray, which was said to be very effective, and then the hall was rebuilt.
Sung River Peasant Uprising Sung River Peasant Uprising is not a plot in the novel, but a real thing in history. Those people in the water margin in the novel are not real peasant uprisings, but only folk gangs. Song Jiang in history is much worse than Song Jiang in the novel.
Part road map of Sung River peasant uprising
In A.D.119, that is, in the first year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang rallied 36 people in Liangshan Park, Shandong Province to rebel against the rule of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty. The insurgents first attacked Qingzhou (now Qingzhou, Shandong Province) and qi zhou (now Jinan, Shandong Province), laying a dozen counties and cities. The Northern Song Dynasty imperial court could do nothing about it. Song Jiang led his men to deal with the imperial army in a flexible way.
In the face of the rebels, Hui Zong had to compromise. He ordered people to woo Song Jiang, but the growing Song Jiang refused to allow the court to woo him. Helpless, Hui Zong had to intensify the conquest of Sung River Rebels, and was defeated by Sung River as a result, and the reputation of Sung River Rebels gradually expanded.
In the third year of Xuanhe, in order to avoid the imperial army, Song Jiang led his men to the present Jiangsu and other places, and captured the Huaiyang Army, which is now the Suining area of Jiangsu Province. Later, Song Jiang became interested in Haizhou (now Haizhou District, Lianyungang, Jiangsu). Song Jiang intercepted the imperial ships and took a boat to Haizhou, ready to attack. Unfortunately, Zhang Shuye, a star of the Northern Song Dynasty who was rushed to woo, seized the opportunity, burned the rebel ships and cut off Sung River's back road.
After Zhang Shuye burned Song Jiang's ships, he sent a good soldier to ambush in the only way to open the way for Song Jiang. Song Jiang was ambushed in an accident and suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the impassable roads in the rear, they had no choice but to surrender and the peasant uprising failed. As for whether Song Jiang was sent to pacify Fang La or beheaded, there is a constant debate among historians.
There are 108 generals who failed in the Song Jiang Uprising in Liangshan, Shui Bo in Water Margin. Everyone has his own specialty, which can be said to be full of talents, but in the end, he accepted the favor of the court and the uprising failed. So, why did Liangshan, a talented city in Shui Bo, fail in the uprising?

There are three reasons for the failure of the Sung River Uprising:
First, class contradictions continue. After the death of Classical, almost all the people who had the right to speak in Liangshan were from the landlord class, such as Song Jiang and Lu Junyi. Those who come from the peasant class either rank very low or serve as cannon fodder in the army, and they have no rights at all. These landlords become bandits only because they have no choice but to do it temporarily. Their hearts are still thinking that one day they will be re-recruited by the court. In fact, Liangshan at that time was not coordinated by Qi Xin as outsiders imagined, and there were many people with different ideas, so there were still some contradictions within Liangshan.
Second, in the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, there were insurgents not only in Liangshan, but also in Fang La, Zhejiang, which was much stronger than Liangshan in terms of strength. Liangshan army has a long way to go if it wants to succeed in the uprising. It will not only defeat the imperial court in the Song Dynasty, but also defeat other insurgents. This is an almost impossible goal. Let's look at the later Liangshan army's conquest of Fang La, which was so tragic that it was supported by the imperial court.
Third, although Liangshan defeated several encirclement and suppression campaigns by the imperial court, most of them relied on the special terrain of Liangshan in Shui Bo. Liangshan, Shui Bo, can only defend passively, but the ability of active attack is poor. Even a small village in Zhujiazhuang was beaten three times, which also cost a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
Based on the above three reasons, Sung River Uprising is doomed to failure.
Song Jiang defeated Gao Taiwei three times. That is to say, in Water Margin, many heroes of Liang Shanbo defeated Gao Taiwei of the Northern Song Dynasty three times. At that time, Liangshan's power in Shui Bo became more and more powerful, and the court began to fear Liangshan's power, so it sent troops to attack Liangshan.
The cover of the story of Gao Qiu's three defeats
Before Song Jiang lost to Gao Taiwei three times, it should be said that Song Jiang won to Tong Guan twice. Song Jiang assembled 108 hero, became an outlaw and mobilized troops to revolt. With the growing power of Liangshan, the court paid more and more attention to Liangshan, a bandit force. Send regular troops to deal with Liangshan. At that time, the court sent minister Tong Guan to crusade against Liangshan. But Tong Guan was defeated twice in succession, and Tong Guan's men were either killed or captured. Finally, only Tong Guan and one of his men fled back to Tokyo.
At that time, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu had a good relationship. Both of them are treacherous court officials, a little in cahoots. After Tong Guan's defeat, Gao Qiu led an army to crusade against Liangshan and avenge Tong Guan, also to show the majesty of the imperial court. Gao Qiu's three expeditions to Liangshan all ended in failure.
Song Jiang defeated Gao Qiu, and Gao Qiu's men Liu Menglong and Dang Shixiong were also defeated. These two men are generals with strong ability to lead troops in Gao Qiu's army. The failure of these two men forced Gao Qiu to lead troops himself. Sung river trounced Gao Qiu, personally led the troops of Gao Qiu trounced. At that time, Liu Tang burned Gao Qiu's warships, and Li Junhe Zhang Heng killed Gao Qiu's generals Liu Menglong and Niu Bangxi. The third time, Song Jiang courted Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu rejected Song Jiang's request and insulted Song Jiang. Sung River chose to take the initiative, sank Gao Qiu's largest capital dolphin boat, and captured Gao Qiu himself. Gao Qiu had to agree to Song Jiang's request for harness.
The above is the story of Song Jiangsan's defeat to Gao Taiwei.
