Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi were not good, why did Dong Ping become the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan? See what Song Jiang said

First, the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan

First of all, I would like to throw out a question, we all know that the five tigers of Liangshan will be: Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo and Dong Ping. So do you think all five are qualified?

I am afraid that many people will shake their heads and deny: they do not represent the highest combat strength of Liangshan at all. In this regard, even the new TV series "Water Margin" is also this attitude, changing the "Five Tigers of Liangshan" to: Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo and Zhang Qing!

As for the reason, I am afraid that Zhang Qing had even beaten 15 generals in Liangshan, and even Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo had been beaten. What about Dong Ping? I'm so sorry! In the original work of "Water Margin", only Xu Ning was single-handedly provoked, "Fighting to more than fifty combinations, regardless of victory or defeat." After a long battle, Song Jiang was afraid that Xu Ning would lose, so he taught Ming Jin to collect the army." (From "Water Margin" 68 times)

From the perspective of the battle situation, Xu Ning is probably not an opponent, otherwise Song Jiang would not have "afraid that Xu Ning would be lost", and was obviously at a disadvantage. But even if Dong Ping is stronger than Xu Ning, he still lacks the single challenge performance with first-class warriors.

For example, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, and Qin Ming, all four of whom had competed with each other before they gathered in Liangshan. Hu Yanzhuo first singled out Lin Chong, and then singled out Qin Ming under Qingzhou City. On the surface, Guan Sheng was the strongest, and the elder brother had fought Lin Chong and Qin Ming alone.

What about Dong Ping? Only when pursuing Song Jiang, "There is Lin Chong on the left and Hua Rong on the right, and the two generals come out in unison, each with weapons to fight Dong Ping." The approximation is combined, and the two will go. Song Jiangjun was defeated and scattered in all directions", and then Dong Ping was captured alive... It is equivalent to him winning the plan, Song Jiang is the bait, Lin Chong and Hua Rong are "dead runners", and the two have no intention of fighting him with all their might.

So it is no wonder that the new "Water Margin" will kick out Dong Ping and stuff Zhang Qing into the selection - there is no record of getting a hand, why let you Dong Ping come to the scenery? But no matter what, it is obvious that the "Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan" given in the original work of "Water Margin" have a huge controversy, of course, "there is an insider or a black curtain" is also true, and the key point of controversy is that Dong Ping was selected!

So what about the readers, who do you think the "Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan" should be? If you're interested, leave a comment in the comments section. Of course, the author would like to express my position here first: I am not in favor of Dong Ping's selection! Even if he calls himself a "hero with two guns, a man of many families."

Just because he can brag about himself so much, the author is very speechless. After Wu Song beat the tiger, he exaggerated at most that "I killed the tiger with three fists and two feet", but Wu Song could boast of being a "hero"? It's all said by others.

Yan Qing can charm Master Li, but has he ever called himself "Wind Flow"? People are more low-key - real cattle people, all have distinct personalities, but they are low-key and reasonable. Where is Dong Ping like this, "a small flag is planted in the arrow pot, and a joint road is written on it: Hero double gun general, wind and flow of thousands of households"! Look at this self-aggrandizing posture, the whole Water Margin River is unique!

Then, since Dong Ping is not worthy of entering the "Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan", which good man is qualified to replace Dong Ping and be selected? The author's answer, only three people!

2. Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong

Lu Zhi's in-depth selection of the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan is probably the biggest consensus.

Lu Zhi is deeply on the war horse, and can fight to the end of the battle! I'm afraid that many people have fooled Lu Zhishen to immediately put the essence, let's see what the original book says:

See the dust head, when the head of a fat monk, riding a white horse... Zhi Shen shook the iron Zen staff, Hu Yan scorched and danced with two whips, and the two horses intersected, and the two sides shouted. Fight forty or fifty times, no matter whether you win or lose. Hu Yanzhuo secretly applauded, "This monk, he has fallen to the ground!" ”

Sure enough, the person riding the white horse was not necessarily Tang Monk, but also Lu Zhishen!

As for stepping down the martial arts, Lu Zhishen was more cattle, had fought Yang Zhi in a big battle, and was still fighting Deng Yuanjue when he was fighting Fang La! These are all recognized as the first-class masters of water margin.

Just by virtue of Lu Zhishen's comprehensive martial arts, plus having served at Border Pass (under the hands of the old Xianggong), that is a legitimate officer! Will he have a problem entering the Liangshan Five Tigers? No problem!

So why didn't Lu Zhishen ride a war horse later? There is no way, his identity as a monk, but not to "learn the scriptures", the identity is limited!

As for why Lu Zhishen was ultimately defeated, the author has analyzed it in detail, so it is not unfolded - the most important reason is that Lu Zhishen's influence is too large, and he opposes Zhao'an, and he will inevitably be suppressed by Song Jiang!

Yang Zhi, along with Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo, is called "after the three famous gates of Liangshan". Also a well-rounded good man, he stepped on the war horse and beat all the praises: "Good birth!" Not a means in the green forest! The key is this last sentence, which proves the origin of Yang Zhi's martial arts, and it is indeed the descendants of the Yang family!

As for the record of stepping down, it was also a big hit, and Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen were all tied.

And according to the thesis, Yang Zhi is also the hardest, and he is the "martial arts origin" of the class. So-called, to have a diploma and a business ability to have a business ability, shouldn't such a battle be selected as the Five Tigers of Liangshan? At least it is more reasonable than Dong Ping!

So why wasn't he selected and only mixed into one of the eight Biao of Liangshan? Yang Zhi had offended, the two people who could not be offended the most.

The first is Gao Li, Song Jiang Zhao'an, there is a "Feng Gao (Gao Li) is not fierce", Gao Li is the key figure of Zhao An, how can Song Jiang stimulate Gao Li? Don't talk about Yang Zhi, you see Lin Chong, because he has this, he has lost the position of the head of the Five Tigers!

The second is Wu Yong, who kidnapped the Birthday Gang, and Wu used the pit to get Yang Zhi to almost commit suicide. Who dares to expect these two people to abandon their previous suspicions and truly call them brothers and brothers? What is even more fatal is Wu Yong, who is also one of the four cores of Liangshan. Therefore, Yang Zhi can only become an unlucky egg!

As for Hua Rong, don't just look at his archery, people have also singled out qin ming and other first-class masters. An arrow shot at Lu Junyi's "soul flying away". The reason why he did not enter the Liangshan Five Tiger Generals was the simplest.

Anyway, if I am Song Jiang, I will never let Hua Rong enter the Five Tiger Generals, the so-called "Hua Rong Town Eight Biao" (Hua Rong is the head of the Eight Biao), how real is this, and the face is also good? It seems that I Song Jiang, how fair and just it is.

Play - just play a little technical, don't be like Dong Ping, so bluntly show off to the point of narcissism!

Third, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi are not good, what does Dong Ping rely on?

We talk too much, but unfortunately, "Water Margin" is to let Dong Ping be selected as the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan, even if Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi are good men, Why is Dong Ping so special?

There is a representative view: Dong Ping's scum essence is in line with Song Jiang's employment style! After Dong Ping was captured alive, he immediately surrendered, and after taking Liangshan to attack Dongping Province, he "ran to the private court, killed the Cheng Taishou family, and took this daughter" (from the "Water Margin" 68 times).

This is Dong Ping's worst thing about "killing fathers and taking daughters"! Song Jiang's employment of people is a typical "use of evil". The most obvious are Li Kui, Wang Ying and so on. In this way, Song Jiang's means and so-called benevolence can be highlighted.

There is also a very reasonable view that it is based on martial arts characteristics! Maybe Dong Ping's martial arts are not too high, but he is nicknamed "Dong Yi Bump", and the material of the pioneer general is appropriate. The Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan are the settings of the five big guys, so these five can't be big guys, but also have candidates who can do dirty work and hard work. Therefore, Dong Ping is the candidate of the Five Tiger Generals who specializes in dirty work and hard work.

However, the author believes that if you want to thoroughly understand this problem, you must also consider "Water Margin", and you can't deviate too much from the original work. This is Song Jiang's attitude! Let's look at Song Jiang's attitude towards Dong Ping, we can see it at a glance.

After Dong Ping was captured alive, Song Jiang "came to untie his ropes, took off his armor and robes, and dressed dong Ping, and worshiped with his head", and then Song Jiang said: "If General Meng does not abandon the lowly, he will be the lord of the cottage." ”

Song Jiang's abdication is a very famous bridge section in "Water Margin", and a total of four good men have said this kind of abdication.

The first was Hu Yanzhuo, and Song Jiang said: If General Meng does not abandon the cottage and is lowly, Song is willing to give way to the general; when the imperial court sees the use and is recruited, then it is not too late to be loyal to the country.

The second is Guan Sheng, but it is not directly said to Guan Sheng, but to Lin Chong and others: If this person is allowed to go up the mountain, Song Jiang is willing to give way. Lin Chong, Qin Ming changed color and retreated...

The third is Lu Junyi, who not only said this to Lu Junyi's face, but also said the same to all the good people of Liangshan.

The fourth is Dong Ping! Even in the face of Zhang Qing, who even beat the 15 generals of Liangshan, Song Jiang had never said such a thing.

Now, let's analyze these four.

Lu Junyi was the most special, Song Jiang said it to his face, and then publicly expressed his position, creating a great momentum, and as a result, Lu Junyi became the second in command.

The reason why Song Jiang expressed his position to Lin Chong and others and gave way to Guan Sheng was actually for the future, Guan Sheng forced Lin Chong to be the head of the Five Tigers as a paving stone.

Hu Yanzhuo and Dong Ping both said it to their faces! The difference is only that Song Jiang promised Hu Yanzhuo an extra promise, but not Dong Ping!

Now we can see Song Jiang's attitude, that is to say: all the good men who have been given up by Song Jiang are regarded by Song Jiang as indispensable figures, and they are the key points in building and building the Liangshan team!

Dong Ping, because of his "scum" or martial arts characteristics, all show that he is easy to control! Putting such a person in the Middle of the Five Tigers can make Song Jiang better control the Five Tiger Generals, which is just the reverse operation of putting Hua Rong into the head of the Eight Biaos!
