Campaigns
Gongsun Sheng becomes one of the two chief strategists of Liangshan alongside Wu Yong. He follows the heroes on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces after they have been granted amnesty by the emperor. During the Tian Hu campaign, Gongsun Sheng scores a major victory by defeating the magician Qiao Daoqing again, thus clearing all obstacles for the heroes to eliminate Tian Hu. After the Wang Qing campaign, Gongsun Sheng retires to study Taoism and does not participate in the final campaign against Fang La. Gongsun Sheng refuses to accept an official post from the emperor in recognition of his achievements. Instead, he returns to his hometown in Jizhou (present-day Ji County, Tianjin), where he devotes the rest of his life to the practice of Taoism.

Famous quotes containing the word campaigns:
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
