The bones are soft and strong, and the eyebrows are thick and the eyes are fresh. Described as a strange man, walking like a flying fairy. The silence of the night passes through the wall, and it hangs deeper around the house. Stealing camp master guests, drums on the flea time to move.
This is a poem describing the good Han Shiqian in Liangshan, the detailed description of the shiqian in the text, and there is no lack of praise, in fact, shiqian in the Liangshan after the repeated construction of qigong, has been evaluated by posterity as "Liangshan five tigers can lose two tigers, but absolutely can not be less time shift." The problem is, since Shi Qian has such an important role in Liangshan, but only one hundred and seven in the big ranking, and the last three seats are in the same row as the traitor Bai Sheng and the horse thief Duan Jingzhu, if according to Song Jiang's original promise, Shi Qian's ranking is obviously too low, it can be said that Liangshan is the most depressed good man.
When All liangshan gangs went down to the mountain to rob jiangzhou, Song Jiang was rescued and went up the mountain to make arrangements for employing people: "The merits of the rest are high; the old leaders of Liangshan Po and his party go to the left main seat to sit, and the new leader goes to the right guest seat to sit." To see how much effort will be made in the future, then another decision will be made. ”
However, by the time of the real merit and reward, Song Jiang had already forgotten the original promise, and the so-called merit in the big ranking was divided into ranks by many factors such as origin, faction, seniority, etc., and even Song Qing, who had not yet achieved meritorious service, ranked seventy-four, why? Because he is Song Jiang's younger brother, the ranking is too low Song Jiang's face to hang, let's look at Shi Qian, why is his ranking so low?
Shi Qian was born as a thief, once did the work of robbing graves and digging graves, for how Shi Qian became a thief, there is no explanation in the book, but it can be analyzed from it that he was born at the bottom of society, his parents died early, and Shi Qian had no fixed place to live, forced to engage in the profession of thief for a living, Shi Qian's first appearance, which can be seen.
The original text says: Yang Xiong asked Shi Qian: "How are you here?" Shi Qian said, "Brother Jie listened, the little man has no road today, digging some ancient tombs in the mountains, looking for two things, because he saw his brother acting here, he did not dare to come out and collide." I heard that I went to Liangshan Tobo to join the gang, the villain is here now, only doing the work of chicken and dog theft, when is it? Follow your brother up the mountain, but it's not good? ”
These words conveyed at least two messages: one was to show that the status of thieves at that time was very low, and even inferior to the bandits who blocked the road and robbed them; second, Shi Qian also wanted to seek a stable place, seek a big backer, and seek great development.
When he was in Zhujiazhuang, he tried his best to woo Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu, fetched water for them to wash, and when stealing chicken, he said: "Cooked, give it to the two brothers to eat." It was precisely because of his humble origin that Shi Qian had the attribute of a slippery beard, because he knew in his heart that only by taking care of these two leaders in place could he have greater hope of being tied to them.
After going up the mountain, Shi Qian was arranged to make a hotel because he was not looked at by people. It is estimated that the time should feel satisfied, and after decades of wandering alone, it finally has a foothold. If the life continues like this, the time may also end here, after all, he came from a humble background, and being able to live a carefree life is his lifelong dream. But life is never calm, let alone robbers who rob houses? After Liangshan attacked Gao Tang prefecture, a Huyan scorching horse suddenly popped up, and at Wu Yong's suggestion, Shi Qian once again showed his housekeeping skills, allowing Liangshan to resolve the crisis.
Tang Long said, "Xu Ning's ancestral treasure is unparalleled in the world, and it is the treasure of the town family." When Tang Longbi accompanied his father Zhizhai to Tokyo to visit his aunt, he saw many of them, and it was a pair of round gold armor, which was draped on the body, light and stable, and the sword and arrows could not penetrate; everyone called Sai Tang Yi." Many noble princes asked to see each other, and they refused to look at it, and this armor was his life; it was held in a leather box and hung directly on the beam of the bedroom. If you deal with his armor first, he will not come here. Wu Yong said, "If this is the case, why is it so difficult?" There are master brothers here, and this time they are moving away when they use the drum to put on fleas. ”
Shi Qian was marginalized at the beginning of Liangshan and sent to the bottom of the mountain to assist Shi Yong in running the hotel, but Wu Yong knew him very well, indicating that Wu Yong had a certain ability to organize And personnel identification in Liangshan, and as a result, Shi Qian lived up to expectations and successfully completed the task.
Later, in the attack on the Daming Mansion, his agility was reflected, and Shi Qian and a group of people lurked in the city of Beijing, and pointed out sharply when they saw the brother Kong Ming Kong Liang, who was disguised as a beggar: "The face is red and white, unlike the appearance of starvation, Beijing is more public, and if you see through it, you will miss a big thing." Then Shi Qian burned the Cuiyun Building, causing chaos in the city, frightening the chief official of the Daming Mansion, Liang Zhongshu, and his subordinates to panic and flee in all directions, laying a solid foundation for Liangshan to successfully capture the Daming Mansion and save Lu Junyi.
When attacking Zengtou City, Shi Qian showed his subtlety, when Daizong still did not know what way to enter, Shi Qian had already mixed into Zengtou City, and the military deployment inside was clearly explored, and he also infiltrated the Fahua Temple as a hostage and agreed to ring the bell code, and the result can be imagined, Liangshan once again achieved a big victory.
When Liang Shan attacked Jizhou in the Liao Dynasty, Shi Qian and Shi Xiu mixed into the Baoyan Temple in the city, using fire as a trumpet, so that the Liangshan army launched a general attack, shi qian put three fires on the pagoda, the Buddha Hall, and the mountain gate, "the fire shone more than thirty miles away." Shi Xiu, who was traveling with him, only set a fire in front of the government gate, and this time the light of the Celestial Comet was far less dazzling than that of the Earth Thief Star.
In the battle of Yuling Pass, the most tragic attack on Fang La, Lu Junyi lost his troops, and Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Li Zhong, and Xue Yong were collectively killed.
At that time, Shi Qian quietly slipped down the tree, turned to the pass, saw two piles of firewood, Shi Qian touched inside, took out the fire knife and flint stone, emitted the fire, put the cannon on the firewood pile, first put some sulfur and flame salt to burn the grass pile over there, but only then did he light the cannon, take the fire seed, and climb straight up to the ridge of the guan roof but only then did he light it. In the piles of firewood and grass on both sides, they were on fire at the same time, and the artillery was shaking at a high price. Close the generals, do not kill themselves, all the armies are only concerned with leaving, where there is the heart to meet the enemy. When Pang Wanchun and the two deputy generals rushed to put out the fire after the shutdown, Shi Qian set up artillery on the roof ridge again. The artillery shook the house and moved, frightening the southern soldiers into abandoning their swords, guns, bows and arrows, robes, and armor, and running to the back of the pass. Shi Qian shouted from the house, "Ten thousand Song soldiers have already passed the pass first, and Ru will surrender as soon as possible to avoid Ru's death!" Pang Wanchun listened, and was so shocked that his soul was not possessed, and he just fell to his feet. Lei Jiong and Ji Ji were so shocked that they were numb and unable to move.
In the Art of War, it is said: "In the way of soldiers, the attack on the heart is the top, the siege of the city is the bottom; the heart is the top, and the soldiers are the bottom." "Shi Qian, as a chicken and dog thief, knows his reasoning well, indicating that he has a high degree of emotional intelligence and understanding. After a long history of battlefield success, shi qian died of acute appendicitis, and only the phrase "shi qian died of stirring up the sand in the intestines" was passed in the text, and finally he was posthumously awarded the false title of "Righteous Festival Lang", although the holy will has "If there is no descendant, give the temple, where the sacrifice is", but in the historical environment at that time, no matter what, a thief will not live above the temple.
Throughout this life, the early drift around for a living, mixed in the bottom of society helpless to steal for a living, lifelong want to find a stable place, but can give him a safe place only Liangshan this "bandit nest", repeatedly made military achievements but because of the humble origins are despised by colleagues around, the final ranking is not as high as the traitor Bai Sheng, may be in the logic of these bandits in Liangshan, thieves and traitors are always shameful and untrustworthy, even if there is a great contribution, your identity is the standard for considering your ability. Although Shi Qian tried his best to climb up, this super-clever thief, has been trying his best to change the disgust of others and join the robber group to wash away his own stains, but when he was about to succeed, he died unexpectedly, Shi Qian's life is depressed, can only say that he was born in the wrong era, cast the wrong place, met a group of wrong people, his ending is lamentable, lamentable!
