"Water Margin", as a popular historical masterpiece, has quite a lot of plots that swing the intestines, and it has to be mentioned that Song Jiang was killed by poisoned wine on his deathbed. To say that these good men of Liangshan were all killed and wounded for the conquest of Fang La, it was already regrettable enough, but in the end, Song Jiang still died in the Gao Li faction that remembered the hatred, and invited Li Kui to go to Huangquan together, which made people even more indignant.
And in the end, why did the Liangshan gang not make a comeback, but Wu Yong and Hua Rong hanged themselves one after another, and the remaining generals such as the big knife Guan Sheng, the double whip Hu Yanzhuo, and the beautiful bearded duke Zhu Tong why did they hold a large army but defend each side? The reason for this has to start from Wu Yongling's schemes.
"Wisdom Multi-Star" eventually failed
To say that this "wisdom multi-star" Wu Yong is full of belly economy, proficient in Wentao martial strategy, and compared to Zhuge Liang of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that all military operations throughout Liangshan were planned by him and all secrets were in charge.
He was also because of The Liangshan on the matter of "Outwitting the Birth Anniversary", which made the magic calculation have a place to play. He assisted first Chao Gai and then Song Jiang, and the plots of Wang Lun, Breaking Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City, and capturing Daming Mansion were all in his hands, so that Liangshan's career was in the sky.
Wu Yong was indeed an excellent staff talent, so that his suicide was often beaten by posterity, and some people even said that Shi Nai'an was irresponsible and hastily ended. In fact, this is not the case, and Shi Nai'an gave a hint early on.
At that time, when the Water Margin 108 general ranked Tiangang, he was being called the "Heavenly Machine Star", and to say that this Heavenly Machine Star was indeed a representative of resourcefulness.
However, this was not the case in the eyes of the ancients, good and evil were often in a single thought, and the head of the Celestial Star was flexible, but it was often regarded as a heresy in the ancient society that valued stability.
In ancient times, the society that was simple, conservative, and did not like change could not tolerate the use of "Tianji Star" Wu. He was also well aware of this, and his talent and strategy could only be used by the bandit group of Liangshan.
On the contrary, to be a stable official, it is too big to use, and it is always stared at against the bone. Therefore, when he was informed of his death by Song Jiang Tuomeng, he hanged himself in front of Song Jiang's tomb with Hua Rong.
In addition, to explain the indifference of Guan Sheng, Yan Zhuo, and Zhu Tong is also inseparable from Wu Yong. Part of the reason for Wu Yong's early suicide was also fear of retaliation from the remaining liangshan troops.
Because this one hundred and eight generals were not exactly the liangshan that they had embarked on with great courage and loyalty, some of them were often difficulties encountered by Song Jiang on the way forward, and they were recruited by Wu with a plan.
To say that from Song Jiang's point of view, this is called Wu's use of military magic and clever calculations; and When Song Jiang fell, on the other hand, it was Wu who used the conspiracy and trickery of this "dog-headed military master".
And if you investigate carefully, these three brothers are actually Liangshan who wu uses tactics to "force" Liangshan, and some are even "destroyed by the family". It is no wonder that they have heavy troops and do not continue to serve the cause of Liangshan.
The double whip was invincible
Starting from the timeline, the double whip of the three people is the earliest Liangshan forced to go up. The others were all heroes haojie who voluntarily stood up to Liangshan because they were oppressed or framed, and Hu Yanzhuo was actually forced to join by Song Jiang and Wu Yongji.
As a descendant of Hu Yanzan, the founding general of the Great Song Dynasty, Hu Yanzhuo was naturally educated by patriotic and loyal monarchs from an early age. At that time, he was the governor of Runing County, and his position was to suppress bandits like Song Jiang.
He controlled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the first battle with the Liangshan Army was to beat him to the ground. Because although the Liangshan army was assembled by all kinds of good men, it fought head-on and lost in numbers, and the army that collided with the imperial court was like hitting a stone with a pebble.
And Wu Yong's role was also revealed, and he laid an ambush to ambush Hu Yanzhuo, wiping out the three thousand ironclad horses he was proud of—and that was almost his life's work. At this time, the olive branch thrown by Liangshan can be said to be the only choice.
But both sides have suffered a large number of casualties of soldiers, and it is not very credible to say that they can still meet each other with boldness. After zhao'an, Hu Yanzhuo was also appointed as the commander of emperor Huizong of Song's imperial camp, which was not comparable to Shuipo Liangshan. It can even be imagined that if the remnants of Liangshan's forces still make a comeback, he will even personally carry out the sword to suppress the bandits to avenge the death of his brothers.
Tiangang Dajun will be "magic calculation"
The other two great swords, Guan Sheng and Zhu Tong, the Duke of Beautiful Hair, were also generals with heavy troops, but why didn't they avenge Song Jiang? First, let's talk about the DaimyoFu's chief soldier and horseman, Dadao Guansheng. "Red rabbit horse Tengteng Purple Xia, Green Dragon Sword Freezing Cold Ice."
A word tells the image of Guan Sheng, who is holding the Green Dragon Crescent Sword handed down by Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, but he has not inherited Guan Yu's bold loyalty. On the contrary, he is a small man who is only a promise, and he has no opinion of his own.
Guan Sheng was also a general sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress the Liangshan Gang at the beginning, and he was able to fight against Qin Ming and Lin Chong, the leopard head, and fought hard. It was not until Song Jiang rushed to the rescue that the two sides were persuaded to come down.
Song Jiang and Wu used two more plans to make Hu Yanzhuo pretend to surrender, and lured Guan Sheng to Liangshan, where he came to catch turtles in an urn. The outnumbered Guan Sheng saw this situation and could only say that he would return to Shunyi. He gave up his errands at the imperial court and joined the Liangshan Gang. However, he did not receive the treatment he deserved, and only became a general thug.
Later, the court's Zhao An naturally did not consult him, but he definitely supported the return to the stable life of the imperial court with both hands. He did not have a trace of backbone in his weak personality, and Liangshan's idea of "acting for The Heavenly Path" could not attract him. After returning from the battlefield, he was given the title of commander of the daimyo's army, so where is the reason for fighting for Song Jiang again?
Speaking of the last hairdresser, Zhu Tong, he was even more blackmailed by the Liangshan Gang. Zhu Tong was originally a son of a rich family, and also a warrior who neglected wealth and fought righteousness. He befriended the governor of Cangzhou and believed in the righteousness of the Liangshan gang, and persuaded him to release Chao Gai and Song Jiang.
Song Jiang sent someone to persuade Zhu Tong to go to Liangshan with him. At that time, Zhu Tong took the prefect's son to the street every day, and when he was watching the river lamp by the river, he was pulled to a secluded place by Lei Heng, and Wu used it to show his intentions and wanted to persuade him to join the Liangshan Gang.
Although Zhu Tong himself had the heart of righteousness, his life was quite happy, and he could not enter the desperate situation of Liangshan, so he politely rejected them. But when he returned to the river, there was no trace of Xiao Ya Nei. An anxious Zhu Tong saw Xiao Yanei with his head split in half by an axe outside the city, and Li Kui was the murderer.
Zhu Tong was so angry that he swore not to interact with Li Kui, and Li Kui remembered the purpose of the trip and told him, "Chao Song's two brothers will order me to do my ass!" Zhu Tong saw that there was no way out, and offending the prefect was equivalent to losing his career, so he had to go to Liangshan under Wu Yong's repeated apologies. To say that Zhu Tong also willingly joined the Liangshan Gang, I am afraid that it also made people laugh off their teeth, and it was also reasonable that he did not avenge Song Jiang later.
On the whole, it can be seen that Song Jiang's Liangshan gang is not really a righteous warrior, and they are full of courage and courage, and there are also many threats and frames before they go to liangshan as a refuge. He did not feel the concept of Liangshan Gang salvation, and he was even more dismissive of Song Jiang's grand vision of "representing The Way of Heaven".
However, judging from the fact that Li Kui, who was given by Song Jiang to prevent him from taking revenge, these "brothers in life and death" of his were all well, and it may also be a good ending.
After all, Song Jiang could kill his brother with his own hands and prevent him from ruining his "loyal" image, who would continue to serve such a leader?
