The Heavenly Dark Star Blue-faced Beast Yang Zhi, ranked seventeenth in the Liangshan Po seat, was proficient in eighteen martial arts, and was very good.
Like many good men, Yang Zhi also had no choice but to fall into the grass, because when it comes to his lineage, it is quite prominent, he was originally "the grandson of the fifth marquis Yang Linggong (a descendant of Yang Ye of the Yang family) after three generations of generals", when he was young, he should have passed the martial arts and achieved the position of envoy of the palace marshal, and was under the control of the favored minister of the dynasty, Gao Qi, and was also a very popular figure.
Wang Lun, the first leader of Liangshan Po, Cao Zheng, the sword master, and Hu Yanzhuo, the ruler of Runing County, had heard of his name, and even Liang Zhongshu, the remaining secretary of the Daming Prefecture in Beijing, recognized Yang Zhi, so he intended to promote him.
Yang Zhi is not only prominent in life, but also extremely strong in martial arts, Zhou Jin and Cao Zheng are his defeated generals, and he has no victory or defeat in forty or fifty rounds with leopard head Lin Chong, no victory or defeat in more than fifty rounds with the vanguard Suo Chao, no victory or defeat in the forty or fifty combinations with Hua Shang Lu Zhi, no victory or defeat in the forty or fifty combinations with Hu YanZhuo, and a proper "invincible hand within forty combinations"!
Yang Zhi is not only strong in martial arts, but also very flexible in his mind, from the ability to martial arts can see that he is not a reckless man, when escorting the birth of the Gang, he "Zhizang whereabouts", "wisdom selection path" and "wisdom change of time", has always been IQ online, and later when attacking Qingzhou City, his mind was also very clear, persuading Lu Zhishen, Wu Song not to act arbitrarily, but to wait for reinforcements to arrive to attack together.
It is reasonable to say that Yang Zhi should have a bright future, so why did he end up in the dilemma of occupying the mountain as king and robbing his family and robbing his house? This starts with his three life choices.
Life Choice One
When he was still serving as an envoy, he was ordered to carry Huashigang by the Taihu Lake, but as a result, he was overturned by the wind in the Yellow River and lost Huashigang, and Yang Zhi chose to escape in the choice of returning to Beijing or escaping. Although escaping avoided being punished at that time, the pot that had fallen into Huashi Gang was to be carried by his superior Gao Li, so when he later collected a load of money and goods to do something and wanted to reinstate himself as an official, he was scolded by Gao Li in person: "Since you waited for ten envoys to transport Huashi Gang, and nine of them returned to the Beijing Division to pay for it, you lost Hua Shi Gang in this fight!" He did not come to the first accusation (surrender), but he was on the run, and many times he could not be arrested! If you want to do it again today, although it is difficult to use it after being forgiven for the crime! "Hey, if Yang Zhi could have taken the initiative to take responsibility or thought of bribing Gao Li at that time, would he not lose his official position?"
Life Choice Two
After the official's plan to reinstate himself fell through, Yang Zhi was already penniless, leaving only an ancestral sword, and had to come to the market to sell the knife in exchange for coiling, but unexpectedly encountered a pimp Niu Er looking for trouble, he had to let him demonstrate that the treasure knife "kills people without blood", in the face of Niu Er's nonsense, Yang Zhi has two choices, beat him and kill him, how to choose, but see Yang Zhi "got up for a while, hoping that Niu Er's voice would follow and shake it, and fell to the ground." Yang Zhi rushed in, slashed Niu Er's chest twice, and died on the ground." The anger accumulated these days has been vented, but killing people is cool for a while, and the shackles on the neck are carried, and killing people is to pay for their lives. Fortunately, Yang Zhi chose to surrender himself this time, and was only cut off by Fu Yin with twenty scepters, and was assigned to the Daimyo Fu Chongjun (it can be seen that self-surrender can be dropped lightly). But this choice made Yang Zhi a criminal after all, and the ancestral sword was not officially put into storage.
Life Choice Three
The prisoner Yang Zhi was deliberately promoted by Liang Zhongshu and transformed into Yang Ti and was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of escorting the birthday gang, he was cautious along the way, but was still robbed by Wu Yong and Chao Gai, who were more intelligent, and seven people in Huangnigang. At this time, Yang Zhi was faced with the choice of surrendering himself or fleeing, although it was difficult to escape the matter of surrendering, but a large part of the responsibility was to be attributed to his "pig teammates", and the boss who went there also said, "You people do not listen to Yang Tizhi's good words, and today you sent (harmed) me!" Everyone also admitted that "we are not", but Yang Zhi still chose another way, the third way - suicide (Yang Zhi thought: Now it is difficult to run home, there is a country that is difficult to vote, where to go?). It is better to find a place of death on this gangzi), according to incomplete, unscientific, and irresponsible statistics, Yang Zhi may be the only good man among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan who has thought of committing suicide. Fortunately, he thought that he could not be so wrong in the end when he thought of his "grand appearance and a cold body", and finally Yang Zhi still chose to escape. When he ran, the others let him carry all the black cauldrons on his back, and went back to report to Liang Zhongshu, saying, "He made a deal with the strongman, turned the Menghan medicine over, tied his hands and feet, and took Jin Bao captive." Liang Zhongshu scolded, "If I hold him, I will be torn to pieces!" ”
As a result, Yang Zhi cut off all the retreat routes, and had to take the Erlong Mountain with his compatriot Lu Zhishen, and then defected to Liangshan, and finally fell ill on the way to conquest fang la, died in Dantu County, and was posthumously awarded the title of Zhongwulang by the imperial court.
If Lin Chong is a typical example of being forced to go to Liangshan, then Yang Zhi is his own representative of "doing" Liangshan, first running a boat, losing the official, then rushing a set, throwing away the knife, and finally sending a courier, losing the glory of the ancestors. Later generations have poems lamenting Yang Zhi's encounter:
Three generations will be out of my generation, one into the jianghu years urge.
A good hand of cards is broken, and it is sad to die of illness.
