Joining Liangshan
On Liangshan, the incompetent and selfish chief Wang Lun refuses to allow the seven men to join his outlaw band. Wu Yong instigates Lin Chong into killing Wang Lun and Chao Gai is then nominated to be the new chief. Liu Tang takes the fifth position of leadership in Liangshan. Chao Gai is grateful to Song Jiang for alerting them of the danger earlier and he sends Liu Tang to pass Song a letter and some gold pieces to express his gratitude. When Song Jiang returns home after spending a short time outside as a fugitive, he is arrested by the authorities for killing Yan Poxi. Liu Tang attempts to rescue Song Jiang but Song strongly refuses to leave with Liu and surrenders himself.

Famous quotes containing the word joining:
“Behold the walls of Jericho. Maybe not as thick as the ones that Joshua blew down with his trumpet, but a lot safer. See, I have no trumpet. Now just to show you my heart’s in the right place, I’ll give you my best pair of pajamas. Do you mind joining the Israelites?”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
