For the ranking of the 108 generals of Liangshan, although the book is said to be a heavenly stone jie, the ranking is doomed, but many people do not believe it, most people think that this is a trick played by Song Jiang. This point was even mentioned by Xin Shuihu, but it was not Song Jiang's means, but Wu Yong's idea, and Gongsun Sheng was responsible for cooperating with him. The ranking is the result of the discussion between the two people, and the stone jie has long been buried.
As a result, some people feel that there is a problem with the ranking. For example, the ranking of Xie Zhen and Xie Bao's brothers and sisters is high for many people. Because before these two people went up the mountain, they were only hunting, almost no record, and not much reputation, not as good as Sun Li in all aspects, but they could rank in the Heavenly Gang Star and surpass Sun Li, which was really incomprehensible.
Yes, obviously it is a hunter, why can Xie Zhen and Xie Bao enter the Tiangang Star?
Many people said that Xie Zhen Xie Bao was able to enter the ranks of the Tiangang Stars because the two often went up the mountain to hunt, and their mountain combat ability was strong, which belonged to the special skill of the class. Therefore, the two were valued by Song Jiang and promoted to TiangangXing. This assessment is correct, but not comprehensive enough.
After reading xiezhen xiebao's record, you will understand.
First, let's talk about individual combat capabilities
When Gao Li attacked Liangshan for the third time, he used a sea loach ship built by civilian masters, and he and Wen Huanzhang and others sat in the Chinese army, and he thought that there was no doubt that he would win this time, so there were still song and dance beauties in the Chinese army. However, Zhang Shun led Jian Er to leak the loach ship with a chisel and captured Gao Li alive.
This time, many people have merit, Zhang Jun, Yang Xiong, Tong Wei and others have captured the general alive. However, Xie Zhen and Hua Bao captured Wen Huanzhang and the singer and dancer in the Chinese army alive. The two fought from the rebel army to the Chinese army, which showed that their ability was not ordinary. Because the Chinese army is protected by layers of heavy generals. Note that this is on the boat and in the water, indicating that Xie Zhen and Xie Bao's water warfare kung fu is also good.
In fact, Xie Zhen XieBao's invasion of the Chinese army was not once, but also in the Liao Campaign.
Moreover, it is said that Lu Junyi led the troops to kill the Chinese army, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao first cut down the Shuai Zi banner, killed the Fan soldiers indiscriminately, when there were escort ministers and many tooth generals, tightly protected the Liao Guolang Lord Luan, and went north. - "Water Margin"
See, Xie Zhen Xie Bao and the two were almost like the gods of war, cutting down the Liao Army Shuai Zi Banner. It must be known that the Shuai zi banner is the eye of the three armies, extremely critical, the Shuai zi banner fell, basically defeated, liangshan army also has Yu Bao four guard Shuai zi banner.
Some people say that maybe it is just that everyone has a clear division of labor, others are responsible for others, and Xie Zhen Xiebao is responsible for attacking the Chinese army. That's not right, just look at the two siege battles.
Xie Zhen took the simple knife, went up the flying building, climbed the female wall, and jumped up. Then Xie Bao also jumped up. The two shouted, grabbed the female wall, and slashed with knives. ...... Chu Heng saw the two of them going to the city, and they fought with their guns for a dozen rounds, and were overturned by Xie Bao's simple knife. Xie Zhen caught up and chopped off his head. - "Water Margin"
Chu Heng was one of the four Wei generals under Niu Wenzhong in Tian Hu's camp, and the other four Wei general, Fang Qiong, had fought with Sun Li for thirty rounds, which showed that Chu Heng's strength was not bad. However, in this way, he could only walk a dozen rounds in front of Xie Zhen Xiebao, and he was stabbed to death. Most importantly, the two climbed first, the first to climb to the head of the city.
In the ancient armies, the merit of the first ascension was the most rare, because the risk was too great, and people with low martial arts could not do it at all. Le Jin and Yue Fei's son Yue Yun during the Three Kingdoms period were the first to ascend many times, and it is needless to say how fierce these two were. It can be seen from this that xie zhen xie bao's combat effectiveness is not weaker than Sun Li's.
Let's talk about the ability of the two men to unify the army
When Tong Guan won the two victories, Xie Zhen Xie Bao led thousands of ironclad troops, not only shattered the long snake array, but also the two of them rushed into the Tong Guan's army and killed Tong Guan's horse with infantry combat. If it were not for the four major future rescues of Feng Mei, Bi Sheng, Han Tianlin, and Wang Yi, Tong Guantie would have been captured alive. Before Xie Zhen xie bao, let alone rushed to the Tong Guan Army, that is, even Tong Guan's long snake array was not broken.
In the Battle of Yutian County, Lu Junyi and others were scattered, and Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Shan Tinggui, and Wei Dingguo, who did not care about their subordinates at all, ran away alone, and only then did they collect the remnants of the army and gather more than a thousand people. At this time, Xie Zhen Xiebao, Yang Lin, and Shi Yong actually counterattacked into the Liao Army's Five Tigers, so they also won back a round and returned with two thousand people.
This kind of unified army ability is obviously much stronger than Guan Sheng and others who run away on their own when they lose.
What is mentioned above is not all the credit for Xie Zhen XieBao. In fact, if we talk about mountain combat capabilities, the comprehensive strength of the two is definitely higher than Sun Li, and even higher than shi xiu and Yang Xiong. The ranking of the two was not raised, but suppressed.
