There are many heroes in "Water Margin", and the character characteristics and personalities are obvious, such as Liangshan One Hundred Singles and Eight Generals, so the book successfully attracts readers into the support of heroes when interpreting their respective stories. If you say, who is the most scolded, or least favorite, of the Liangshan heroes? The author regrets that most people will say that it is Song Jiang in unison, because Liangshan was recruited by him to direct and promote, before Zhao'an, Liangshan can be described as the peak, brothers have wine and meat, full of heroism, after Zhao'an, Liangshan forces declined, and even went to failure. The Liangshan uprising can be described as: Chengye Songjiang, defeat also Songjiang, simply put, Song Jiang let Liangshan go to its peak, and it was Song Jiang who made Liangshan go to its demise, so they didn't like Song Jiang.

Song Jiang's personal charm, regret once believed that loyalty and righteousness are standable, and compared to Song Jiang, Wu Yong, personality charm can be worse than one or two grades, it can be said that loyalty and righteousness are completely absent. For his own purposes and way out, he did not hesitate to betray Chao Gai Chao Tianwang and turn to Song Jiang, forgetting the oath of righteousness with Chao Gai when he first went to Liangshan, in the matter of Zhao'an, he sided with Song Jiang, to tell the truth, Chao Gai will eventually go down and fail, to a large extent, it is inseparable from his "betrayal", which is really an unjust move.
In addition, Wu Yong's biggest criticism is not here, but there is no bottom line in his bones. What is the bottom line? It is not loyal to the country, to put it bluntly, there is a suspicion of treason. This is not a confession of the past, but there are facts in the book to prove it. In the "Water Margin", "The Eighty-fifth Time Song Gong Ming Night Yijin Pass Wu Xuezhi Zhi Zhi Wen'an County", it is preached that this Liangshan army captured the city of Bazhou, which greatly shocked and panicked the whole Liao state. In order to defuse the crisis, the Liao state was ready to recruit Song Jiang and other Liangshan troops on attractive terms, because they knew that the Northern Song Dynasty was corrupt, the traitors were in charge, and the Liangshan army such as Song Jiang was not welcome in the Song Dynasty: except for Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, the rest were white (like the common people, there was no official position). The conditions for the expulsion of the Liao state were: "Seal Song Jiang as a great general of the Zhenguo, the general leader of the Liao Army, and give him a mention of gold, a scale of silver, and the right to be a relic." The Sect copied the names of all the leaders and gave him all the titles. ”
The great general of Zhenguo, the grand marshal of the Liao army, and the rest of the brothers were all officials one by one, and such conditions could not but be tempting, but Song Jiang scoffed and categorically refused, but one person was tempted, and under the conditions of temptation, he had a treasonous heart, and tried in vain to persuade Song Jiang to abandon Song and surrender to Liao, this person was none other than Wu Yong.
After receiving the envoys of the Liao State, Song Jiang asked Wu Yong to come out to consult (Wu Yong listened clearly behind the tent) and asked for his opinion, and Wu Yong sighed, bowed his head and did not speak, and fell into a state of contemplation. When Song Jiang saw Wu Yong sighing, he asked him why he sighed, and Wu Yong said what he said to Song Jiang in his heart, and the original words were like this: "I think about it, but the elder brother is mainly loyal and righteous, and the younger brother does not dare to say more." I think that what Ouyang Shilang said was reasonable. The son of heaven of the song dynasty, the most holy and the most famous, was monopolized by the four traitors Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Li, and Yang, and the Lord listened to him. If there is success in the future, there will be no reward. I waited three times to recruit security, and my brother was respected, so I had to be a pioneer. If my little boy is foolish and abandons Song congliao, he will not win, but only lose his brother's loyalty. ”
Wu's words were clear enough, simply saying: "Big brother (Song Jiang), for the sake of the future, let's still turn to the Liaoguo!" Wu Yong, for the sake of his own future, took the initiative to persuade Song Jiang to defect to the Liao state and be a traitor. Song Jiang quickly rebuked Wu Yong for such a thought, and he said to Wu Yong: "The military division is bad! If you follow the Liao state, this matter must not be mentioned. Even if the Song Dynasty bears me, I am loyal to the Song Dynasty. After a long time, even if there is no merit reward, it will also be left in the history of Youth. If you turn your back on the right and go against the grain, Heaven will not forgive! My generation should be loyal to the country, and after death, it will be over. Wu Yong dismissed the idea of treason. Although Wu Yong did not eventually go to treason, it was because it was Song Jiang who was in charge, and if it was him, I am afraid that the treason had become a reality. Wu's behavior of persuading Song Jiang to treason was indeed disloyal, and it was also a great disloyalty.
To sum up, Wu Yong cannot but be said to be an unfaithful and unrighteous person, and this insult is really deserved. Therefore, compared to the people who do not like Song Jiang, the author regrets that he is even more disdainful of Wu Yongye!
