In the novel "Water Margin", Liangshan has a total of 3 leaders, the first leader Wang Lun, is a narrow-minded villain, he is both thirsty for the virtuous, but also jealous of the ability of the sage, and later killed by Lin Chong, who was hit by the radical law; the second leader Chao Gai, is a righteous and wealthy man, righteous and thin clouds, he is righteous, love to make friends with good men in the world, famous in the jianghu. However, Chao Gai was not good at managing interpersonal relations, and after Song Jiang ascended the mountain, his position gradually declined, and it was not long before he was replaced.
After Song Jiang came to power, liangshan's atmosphere was "renewed", Chao Gai's old party was suppressed, and the seat ranks did not rank in the forefront. In addition, Song Jiang also changed the "Juyi Hall" to "Zhongyi Hall", and his loyalty to the court of the Great Song Dynasty had been clearly revealed, and the only purpose of his gathering of good men from all walks of life was to make meritorious achievements, first, to wash away the sins of killing Yan Po Xie before, and second, to make military achievements and pave the way for future officials to become knights. However, not all the good men of Liangshan were willing to fight for him, at least Wei Dingguo was not.
Wei Dingguo, nicknamed the Divine Fire General, was originally a Lingzhou regimental trainer, and he could play with fire control with one hand. After the First World War of Damingfu, the imperial court launched a fierce discussion on the future of Liangshan, and zhao Ding advocated Zhao An, after all, Liangshan was powerful, or it was more reliable to adopt a gentle strategy. However, Cai Jing did not think so, saying that Liangshan was just a ragtag group of people, and there was no need for a large army to conquer. Therefore, he recommended Wei Dingguo as the main general of the conquest of Liangshan, believing that with his 500 firemen, it would be enough to win a complete victory.
Soon after, Liangshan heard the news that Guan Shengyin and Wei Dingguo knew each other, so he took the initiative to ask Song Jiang for help. After Song Jiang nodded, Guan Sheng led 5,000 soldiers to Lingzhou, and before he knew it, Wei Dingguo casually defeated him, and even took down his deputy generals Xuanzan and Hao Siwen. Subsequently, Guan Sheng was defeated all the way, and Wei Dingguo chased after him until he met Lin Chong, who came to meet him, and he only collected the remnants of the soldiers.
A few days later, Wei Dingguo went out of the city to engage Guan Sheng, and within a few rounds, Wei Dingguo fled back to the home front, and after Guan Sheng chased after him, he defeated Guan Sheng again with a firearm and repelled him for 40 miles. However, at that time, Lingzhou had already been captured, and Wei Dingguo was attacked by the enemy and forced to retreat to Zhongling County. During this period, Guan Sheng "moved with affection for Wei Dingguo and knew what he was doing" and repeatedly advised him to surrender. In the end, Wei Dingguo and his 500 musketeers submitted to Liangshan.
Similar to Wei Dingguo, Shan Tingjue, known as the "Holy Water General", also submitted to Liangshan at the same time, and his 500 "Xuanjia Army" were strong, no less than Wei Dingguo's firemen. Therefore, the two of them have always been colleagues, for the "two generals of water and fire". After going to Liangshan, Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingjue were always inseparable, and even their seats were next to each other, one 44, one 45.
However, they were not very interested in Song Jiang, they were originally military attaches of the imperial court, but because Song Jiang had fallen into the grass, and his purpose was actually to recruit security, so wouldn't they go back to the beginning? How could it be the work of a great husband to repeat it so repeatedly? Therefore, after they went up the mountain, they did not use their housekeeping skills, and they could paddle when they could paddle in battle, and they did not want to fight for Song Jiang. Unexpectedly, they fell into Wang Yin's pawn in the Battle of Shezhou, and both fell into the pit and were stabbed to death by spears, which was really regrettable.
