Wu Yong said, "I expect Brother Xian to bury me here after he sees me dead." How can you do the same? Hua Rong said, "The younger brother is thinking of Brother Song's benevolence and righteousness, and his kindness is unforgettable." When I waited in Liangshan Po, I was already a man of great sin, and fortunately I did not die. Fighting hard, but also a good man. Feeling that the Son of Heaven forgives sins and recruits peace, he will go north and march south to establish meritorious deeds. Now it has become famous and famous, and the whole world has heard of it. Since the imperial court is already suspicious, it is bound to come to seek the sin of the affair. If he is wrongly tortured by his treacherous schemes, then there will be no remorse. Now that he died with Brother Ren and Huang Quan, he also left a clean name in the world, and the corpse will be returned to the grave. Wu Yong said, "Brother Xian, you listen to me." I'm single and homeless, so why should I die? You see a young son and a wife today, so why should you rely on them? Hua Rong said, "This matter may as well be, it is enough to have its own pocket." The wife's house is also cooked by someone. The two cried and hung themselves in the trees. When the people on the boat waited for a long time to see the official come out, they all went to the grave to look at it, only to see Wu Yong and Hua Rong hang themselves. Hurriedly reported to the state bureaucracy, prepared a coffin, and buried it on the side of the tomb of Song Jiang in Tateshiwa. It's like something. The people of Chuzhou remembered Song Jiang Rende, loyal and righteous, built an ancestral hall, and enjoyed sacrifices at four o'clock. The people in the house prayed, and all of them felt.
Among the good men of Liangshan, Wang Lun was the founder of Liangshan, and Wang Lun, with the help of Chai Jin, became the first owner of Liangshan, and under the leadership of Wang Lun, Liangshan Po began to make a name. After that, Chao Gai and Lin Chong, who came to admire the name, because of the contradiction with Wang Lun, Lin Chong and Wang Lun, Chao Gai became the second owner of Liangshan Po, under the leadership of Chao Gai, Liangshan gradually became stronger. In time, Song Jiang later joined the Liangshan forces because of the pursuit of the government, and gradually replaced Chao Gai. After Chao Gai was shot and killed by Shi Wengong, Song Jiang became the third lord of Liangshan Po.
After the good Han of Liangshan pacified Fangla, he was rewarded by Emperor Huizong of Song to various places, and the good Han of Liangshan, who was originally united, was "scattered" by Emperor Huizong of Song and gradually centrifuged. Emperor Huizong of Song once faced the "Liangshan Bandit Army", and could not sleep at night, lying on the side of the bed, and allowed others to sleep soundly. When Emperor Huizong of Song faced the good man of Liangshan who was nailed in his eye, his previous rewards were all superficial hypocrisy, and he had already moved the killing machine in his heart. In the Water Margin, it is recorded:
Lu Junyi returned to Luzhou at night, feeling that his waist and kidneys were painful, he could not move, could not take a horse, and returned by boat. Travel to the Huai River in Sizhou, the number of days will be exhausted, and naturally accidents will occur. He was drunk at night and was to stand on the bow of the ship for recreation. I don't want mercury to fall into the waist and crotch and go into the bone marrow, the book is not firm, and after drinking, I lost my foot and fell into the depths of the Huai River and died. After Song Jiang drank the imperial wine, he felt pain in his stomach and doubts, and wanted to be drugged in the wine. However, when he was anxious to inquire about the envoy, Yu Luguanyi drank alcohol again. Song Jiang knew that he had won the treacherous plan, and it must be the thieves who gave the medicine and wine.
Jade Qilin Lu Junyi was poisoned with mercury in wine, and on the Huai River in Sizhou, Lu Junyi was poisoned and fell into the Huai River and drowned. Emperor Huizong of Song murdered Lu Junyi, where would he spare Song Jiang. Soon after, the palace sent a reward for the imperial wine, Song Jiang was overjoyed, and drank with the black whirlwind Li Kui, and finally Li Kui and Song Jiang both had poisoned hair and died shortly after. After the deaths of Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, Emperor Huizong of Song pretended not to know and further promoted their official positions, but what use was this for the dead?
After Wu Yong and Hua Rong learned of the death of Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, they came to the grave to mourn, in the "Water Margin" record:
The two cried a lot, both hanging from the trees, hanging themselves to death. When the people on the boat waited for a long time to see the official come out, they all went to the grave to look at it, only to see Wu Yong and Hua Rong hang themselves.
Before Wu Yong committed suicide, he finally understood that the boss of Liangshan Po was not Song Jiang, nor Was he Lu Junyi, and that the boss of Liang Shan Po was the banner of "For the Heavenly Path", and from Song Jiang to hang this flag in Liangshan Po, the fate of Liang Shan Po was already doomed.
After the banner of "For the Heavenly Path" was hung, the goal of Liangshan Pohaohan's struggle changed. In the early days of the establishment of Liangshan Po, the purpose of Liangshan Po's good Han Juyi was to make decisions for the people and eliminate evil. After Song Jiang was forced to come to Liangshan Po, Song Jiang, in the name of his own benevolence, gradually won the hearts of the people in Liangshan Po, and the good men of Liangshan fell under his command.
Song Jiangben was a small official in the county, from a small landlord family, and his education from childhood was to read and study, honor his ancestors, and obtain meritorious names. Song Jiang, a small official, scattered his family wealth and gathered all kinds of powerful people, just to gain greater power. If it were not for the mistaken killing of Yan Poxi, Song Jiang would have been cornered and would not have gone up to Liangshan. After Song Jiang became the boss of Liangshan Po, his mind still did not change, he still wanted to serve the imperial court, after he grasped the power of Liangshan Po, he rushed to set up a banner of "for the Heavenly Path", and soon after, Liang Shan po was recruited by the imperial court.
The "heaven" in "For the Heavenly Path" has represented the imperial power and the emperor from ancient times to the present, and the ancient emperor was called "The Son of Heaven". After this banner was raised, Liang Shanbo was already leaning toward the Song Dynasty court, and the matter of Zhao'an entered the fast lane. Compared with the rebel armies of Liangshan Po and Fang La, Fang La was a resolute rebel, they did not hesitate, it was entirely to rebel against the tyranny of the Song Dynasty, while Liang Shan Po was in order to gain fame, under the leadership of Song Jiang, he became a puppet of the Song Dynasty court.
Song Jiang understood this before he died, and Wu Yong, as Song Jiang's large army division, naturally understood this. It was under the impetus of Wu Yong and Song Jiang that the good Han of Liangshan surrendered to the imperial court, was used as a gun, attacked Fang La, and lost dozens of good men, and the remaining good han was uprooted by Emperor Huizong of Song. Liang Shanbo was originally a rebel army, but because of this phrase "for the Heavenly Path", he fell into a trap and became the prey of the Song Dynasty royal family, and eventually went to extinction.
