Wang Lun, the first leader of Liangshan, if he was not killed, could he better lead Liangshan?
As the first ruler of Liangshan, Wang Lun died quite badly, and he was the first leader to die of infighting. So if Wang Lun didn't die, if he had been ruling Liangshan, what would be the difference in the outcome?
Liangshan small group battle
First of all, it is difficult for Wang Lun to always rule Liangshan, and the setting in the Water Margin is a dark society, and it is normal for big mountains to merge small hills, including Liangshan under the command of Song Jiang, and it is also constantly merging many small hills to have a later scale. When Wang Lun first went up the mountain, he had a group of people and horses, but his subordinates, Du Qian, Song Wan, were mediocre in ability, and Zhu Gui's ability was not strong enough.
Wang Lun can sit firmly in Liangshan, mainly relying on the natural advantages of Liangshan, where there are hundreds of miles of water, and the terrain is very dangerous. Later, Liangshan relied on the terrain and was able to repel the imperial court's attacks again and again.
Such a good territory is easy to be targeted by the big mountains, for example, after chao gai and other people had an accident, they thought of Liangshan at the first time, and the reason why chao gai and others did not dare to openly clash with Wang Lun was mainly because Lin Chong's position was uncertain, which could also show how important it was to have a very strong subordinate, but a master like Lin Chong, Wang Lun could not tolerate him, and also tried to find a way to exclude him.
A leader without ambition
Wang Lun thought about living on an acre and three points, and he didn't dare to provoke the imperial court, so when he heard about the practices of Chao Gai and others, his face slowly changed, and he decided to drive Chao Gai out of them.
Wang Lun is such a person with no ambition, he just plans to guard the cottage life, then Lin Chong does not move, Lin Chong will not continue to stay here for a long time, such as Yang Zhi these masters will not join Liangshan, Liangshan will not have the status of the later jianghu.
However, with Wang Lun's train of thought, the imperial court would not necessarily destroy Liangshan, after all, they could not rise in scale, and the imperial court would not bother to fight them, Liangshan relied on the water, plus Wang Lun's people, it was no problem to resist the attack of the local government.
After all, a small bandit like Qingfeng Mountain can survive in Qingzhou for a long time, and Wang Lun has a very good attitude, not opposing the government, and the government will not do any good to beat him.
Insufficient capacity
But Wang Lun could not resist the attacks of other mountains, and there were too many large and small cottages in Shandong, many of which had extremely strong strength. Like the later Erlongshan and other places, the combat strength is quite strong, from the encounter of Song Jiang on the road, we can see that many mountains are trying to expand the territory, or rely on large forces.
Such a good place as Liangshan, but Wang Lun occupied it in advance, he did not have enough talent to control here, and it was sooner or later that something would happen. Even if he could resist one or two attacks, he would not be able to block the next enemy attack.
Wang Lun himself did not have excessively high martial arts, nor did he have a very high prestige in the jianghu, and he was still too narrow to tolerate other masters. Although he was not too bad for Lin Chong, his behavior had already allowed Lin Chong and others to see the future of Liangshan, and if he did not get rid of him, Liangshan would be doomed sooner or later, so Lin Chong took the risk of killing him.
Wang Lun was pushed into the wrong position, he should not have become the boss of the cottage, but fate put him in this position, he did not do it and waited to do it, this is the most tragic place for Wang Lun, if he has the prestige like Song Jiang, even if he is not strong enough, he can suppress many good men under his command.
