"Water Margin" is a very good ancient Chinese novel, especially the Liangshan One Hundred Singles and Eight Good Men in it, and it is also the idol of many teenagers. The first half of the Water Margin is written with stories of unevenness and happiness and revenge, which makes people very happy; the second half is a lot of things that are suffocated. Especially when Song Jiang marched on Fangla, 108 would be piled up in death, which was the most sadistic section. Then, Fang La only had eight generals, why could He let Liangshan lose most of the good guys? Expert: Not at one level.
Before conquering Fang La, the good men of Liangshan looked particularly powerful. During the conquest of the Liao, the 108 generals did not even have a single injury, and it felt like they were pushing all the way through. However, this situation gradually changed in the later period, especially during the conquest of Fang La. It was as if the combat effectiveness of this group of "Demon Lords" had all declined, and even "little hair thieves" like Fang La could not defeat them, and the good men died in a bunch of piles.
And Fang La is really not a force that can be compared with Liangshan, Liangshan alone has 108 generals, while Fang La has only eight generals. What caused Liangshan to actually lose 70 good men in a row here in Fang La, and to destroy the entire Liangshan family foundation? After studying the Water Margin, experts proposed that the strength of Liangshan at this time was no longer at the same level as fang la's strength. Why? There are four reasons for this.
First of all, Fang La fights at home and Water Margin fights away. Once upon a time, the Good Han of the Water Margin was also very powerful, and the Song Dynasty sent tens of thousands of troops several times, but they were all defeated by the Good Han of the Water Margin at Liangshan, so why was it different here in Fang La? Because the former good han of Shuihu relied on the geographical advantages of Liangshan, the people of the good han of Liangshan "defending their homeland" fought against the Song army, and now these advantages were transferred to Fang La's hands.
Everywhere Liangshan went, it was Fang La's territory, and there was a group of "anti-thieves" who followed Fang La's uprising. They knew that once they were defeated by Song Jiang, their group of "anti-thieves" would definitely be destroyed by the three tribes. Therefore, for the sake of freedom and the safety of his family, Fang La's men are desperately resisting. However, Song Jiang's subordinates did not have this momentum, they were fighting for others on other people's turf, and had nothing to do with themselves. secondly:
"Those who are poor in the country lose far from the teacher, and those who lose far away are poor; those who are close to the teacher are expensive to sell, and if they are expensive to sell, the people are exhausted, and when the wealth is exhausted, they are anxious to serve the hills." Li Qu Cai, the Central Plains in the void of the family, the people's fees, ten to seven; the fees of the public family, the broken army and horses, the armor and crossbow, the sword and the fence, the hill and cattle cart, the ten to six. ”
Once the good men of Liangshan fought well in Liangshan, and if they couldn't win, they ran back to the mountains to drink wine and eat a few pieces of meat, and their hearts were very comfortable, but the imperial court couldn't do anything with them. However, now they are on other people's turf, others want to fight, want to keep, the form and psychology are completely different. Most importantly, the logistics of the imperial court will not be as good as Liangshan's, and good wine and good meat will not give them this group of former "anti-thieves". Therefore, this combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
The second point is that the Liangshan team has lost a lot, and Fang La's power is flourishing. Liangshan had already fought several battles in the southern and northern wars before conquering Fang La, and although the main generals had not lost much in those few times, the losses of the soldiers were inevitable. An important reason why Liangshan was able to fight in the early stage was also because of this group of veterans who could recruit good warriors. The imperial court did not add too much to Liangshan's losses—even if they were, they were those Song soldiers with poor combat effectiveness, so the Song Jiang army was much inferior to Fang La.
Secondly, the mentality is completely different. Song Jiang's army's view of this battle was that he had come to die for no reason; while Fang La's army's view of this war was: to protect himself, to protect his homeland, and to defeat him would be more than three tribes. The Song Jiang team had won several previous battles in the south and the north, and each time they had won a big battle, but the imperial court did not give them any substantial rewards, but killed their old brothers one after another.
Therefore, Liang Shan generally felt that there was no benefit in winning this battle, and perhaps he could be stable in the second half of his life after being defeated. Therefore, when Liang Shan faced Fang La, he had a negative attitude, except for a few people such as Song Jiang. On Fang La's side, whether he can survive or not, whether he can be an emperor or not, all depends on the outcome of this battle. In such a comparison, the fighting spirit and military spirit of the two sides are completely at the same level.
In the end, Liangshan has become a team that has lost its heart because of Zhao'an, while Fang La has become a united team because of the arrival of Liangshan. In fact, Liangshan Zhao'an is largely Song Jiang's idea alone, and the vast majority of people are opposed to Zhao'an. For example, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Li Kui and others have all directly stood up to express their opposition to Zhao'an, so they are now in an extremely uncomfortable state. It is strange that such an army can fight a good war!
Therefore, from the above four points, it can be known that Song Jiang's army and Fang La's strength at that time were not at the same level at all, even if Fang La only had eight generals, he could also make Song Jiang suffer heavy losses. "Water Margin" is a very good novel, but if there is no famous review, we often look at the blind man when he looks at it. For example, many readers will wonder when they see Song Jiang's conquest of Fang La: Why has Liangshan's combat effectiveness declined so much?
