Song Jiang can become the lord of Liangshan, the flower monk Lu Zhishen and the walker Wu Song are indispensable, without their support, Song Jiang will not be able to sit in the top position.
In Jin Shengsi's "Water Margin", Li Kui naturally supported Song Jiang without principle at any time, and Wu Song, Liu Tang, and Lu Zhishen's reasoned statements were to watch Wu act with his eyes: "Wu Song saw that Wu used to show people, and also went forward and shouted: 'Many of the officers under my brother's command have been ordered by the imperial court, and he just let his brother, how can he be willing to follow others?'" Liu Tang then said, "When we first went up the mountain seven times, we had the intention of making my brother respectful." Today, let the people who come after. Lu Zhishen shouted, "If your brother still wants these many rituals, the sprinklers will spread out!" ’”
Lu Zhishen was an officer, Liu Tang was both a high-roller and a Liangshan elder, and Wu Song was a member of the gongmen, and the words of the three of them were very representative, so Song Jiang borrowed a donkey and proposed a solution to attack Dongchang Province and Dongping Province in order to determine the choice of the master of the village.
All of this was intertwined, just like after rehearsals beforehand, Jin Shengsi could not help but be indignant when he saw this: "Leave the will of the King of Heaven alone, and do not give birth to many discussions, many truths, and write ugly and hateful." ”
Li Kui didn't need a reason to support Song Jiang, and if he needed to, he could find out a whole bunch of them, but how could Lu Zhishen, the first hero of Liangshan, and Wu Song, who was a pair of fists who specialized in hitting unclear things, be muddy with his conscience?
Erlongshan merged into Liangshan later, the flower monk Lu Zhishen did not have any friendship with Chao Gai, and he only heard of Song Jiang's name and did not see his face; yang zhi, the blue-faced beast, had a deep grudge with Liangshan, because it was Chao Gai Wu who ruined his great future; although the walker Wu Song had worshipped Song Jiang, but after partnering with Lu Zhishen, he gradually drifted away from Song Jiang - Song Jiang was escorted to the execution ground in Jiangzhou, and the whole jianghu was sensational, only the seven leaders of Erlong Mountain did not pay attention to it, did not mix, they ate and drank.
It is reasonable to say that Lu Zhishen and Wu Song can remain completely silent on the question of who is the lord of Liangshan: in terms of seniority, they are not the elders of Liangshan, and on the relationship, they are not too close to Song Jiang, especially Chao Gai's will is still in the ear, and whoever supports Song Jiang is suspected of treachery.
The reason why Lu Zhishen Wusong stood up against Lu Junyi sitting in the top position was also the trap of Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and it was Song Jiang's words of praise for Lu Junyi that made Lu Zhishen Wusong feel alert: If Lu Junyi is not prevented from taking the throne at this time, the Liangshan brothers will be in danger! For the sake of everyone's long-term interests, the top spot must let Song Jiang sit!
Lin Chong, who had urged Song Jiang to act as the head of the village, did not say a word in this controversy over who was in the top spot, but Zhi duoxing Wu was extremely active with jumping up and down: "The elder brother is respected, and Lu Yuanwai is inferior, and everyone is ambushed." If the elder brother pushes and gives in repeatedly, he is afraid that he will chill the hearts of everyone. ”
Wu Yong did not want Lu Junyi to be the lord of Liangshan, because everyone knew that Lu Junyi's transformation from being the richest man on one side to being empty-handed was all due to Wu Yong: the evil man did not reflect on evil, but often hated the object of his harm, which was extremely evident in Wu Yong.
In order to prevent Lu Junyi from taking revenge on himself after he took the throne, Wu Yong can be said to have played a trick. During the attack on Zengtou City, Wu Yong urged Song Jiang to make peace with Shi Wengong: "Brother is bad! I wait for each other, all for the ear of qi. If the Zeng family sent someone to write a book to talk about peace, would it be a momentary anger to lose the great righteousness? ”
Song Jiang attacked Zengtou City, and during the negotiation process, he did not mention Chao Gai's arrow, but insisted on asking for the horse.
Zeng Sheng and Yu Baosi went to Songjiang Dazhai to make peace, and in addition to the horses they snatched for the second time, they also sent a "golden cart" to Dazhai as interest. Song Jiang was basically satisfied, but still put forward a non-negotiable condition: "This horse was won the next time, and there was the thousand-mile white dragon foal sent by Duan Jingzhu earlier, 'Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse', how can it not see the future?" You (Zeng Sheng) hurriedly wrote a book and taught (Shi Wengong) to lead the horse to return me early! ”
Song Jiang bargained with Shi Wengong (after several encounters from people, Song Jiang was determined to die for this horse), and Shi Wengong also put forward his own conditions: "If you still want me to have this horse, even if he retires, I will send him back!" ”
Just when Song Jiang and Wu Yong were hesitating whether to get the horse first or retreat first, someone reported that Qingzhou and Lingzhou were rushing to aid Zengtou City, and Song Jiang was anxious: "When they learned, they must change their minds!" ”
Jin Sheng sighed here and commented: "Wonderful pen magic pen." Writing About Song Jiang has the intention of even retreating from the army, so as to see this single as a horse, let alone have no ambition. Those who change their minds, who refuse to return the horse, if they are determined to take revenge, will they be worried about changing their minds! ”
If Zengtou City had handed over the Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse before the arrival of the two reinforcements, would you say that Song Jiang and Wu Yong would have left Chao Gai's "great vendetta" behind, riding a BMW, and returning to Liangshan with Zengtou City's condolences and gifts?
When The Liangshan Army attacked Zengtou City twice, Shi Wengong wrote a letter denying that he had shot Chao Gai (Shi Wengong didn't know who shot it, so what he said was that "the unprovoked pawns cast cold arrows, and the crime is so heavy that what is the word?"). After stealing from the original, not the original intention also"), Song Jiang Wu yong never mentioned it again - Shi Wengong was forced to be anxious, he would take out his bow and arrow, and compare it with the poisonous arrow with the name written on it in front of the public, if he found that the shape was completely different, it would be a lot of fun.
According to Wu Yong's original intention, the revenge with Zengtou City was cleared after they handed over the Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse, but they did not expect to kill two imperial armys halfway, so that the two sides had to fight a final decisive battle.
Many people say that Chao Gai "entangled" Shi Wengong in order to avenge that arrow, but I don't know if everyone has ever thought of such a question: Chao Gai still has so much "ability" after death, why not directly kill Shi Wengong? He just couldn't die, and he could also throw Shi Wengong in front of Song Jiang, so why did he bother to send Shi Wengong, who had been entangled in combat effectiveness to zero, to Lu Junyi's simple knife--according to Wu Yong's arrangement, Shi Wengong would never appear in the place where Lu Junyi "ambushed", and Chao Gai did this to sabotage Wu's plan to push Song Jiang to the throne.
Chao Gai asked Lu Junyi to capture Shi Wengong, which seems to have given Song Jiang two problems: first, will Shi Wengong admit that the poisoned arrow was shot by himself; second, who should do the top job?
The first question was easily solved by Song Jiang: instead of interrogating, Shi Wengong was directly "dissected from his abdomen and heart, and sacrificed Chao Gai", and Shi Wengong was not given the opportunity to speak at all.
The second problem is more difficult to deal with: the top seat is a good thing, Lu Junyi also has the heart of fame and fortune, and he will not be willing to sit under Song Jiang, whom he has always looked down on and even hated.
Lu Junyi once thought of arresting Chao Gai Song Jiang and sending him to the imperial court in exchange for his own future, and readers who have read the original work of Water Margin know that the author will not talk nonsense.
Song Jiang and Lu Junyi both wanted to sit in the top spot, but they tried their best to "belittle themselves and elevate each other", which was extremely modest, and Song Jiang even scolded his own looks and origins: "Song Jiang is black and short, and he is a cousin of the outside world, and everyone is powerless." In the second case, Song Jiang was born as a small official, committed a crime on the run, felt that the brothers did not abandon him, and temporarily held a dignified position; he was born in a rich and noble family, and he had the reputation of Haojie, which was beyond the reach of everyone. ”
While Song Jiang praised Lu Junyi, he was also pulling hatred for him, and Lu Junyi's acting skills were not bad, he directly lay on the ground and prostrated his head: "Brother talks about himself in vain; Lu Mouning dies, it is really difficult to obey his fate." ”
Before that, Lu Junyi also said something like this: "Brother Hu Wei, who is entrusted to the elder brother, deeply feels the virtue of all the leaders, works together to save the untouchable body, and it is difficult to repay!" What a man Lu is, daring to be the lord of the cottage! If you have to carry a stirrup with your brother, it is a blessing to be a pawn and repay the grace of saving your life. ”
I don't know how readers feel after reading Lu Junyi's confession, the author always feels that he is saying the opposite: If it were not for your "Tiger Wei" and "Ende", I would still be the richest man in Daming Province!
Excessive modesty is hypocrisy, and Song Jiang did not intend to give up the top spot at all, so he praised and secretly demeaned Lu Junyi, and said a curse that could make Lu Zhishen Wusong can't help but stand up: "The enemy of foreign forces is ten thousand people, and the present is Bogu, and everyone is powerless to reach it." He has such talent and virtue outside the staff, and he is the lord of the cottage. He submitted to the imperial court from time to time, made meritorious achievements, and promoted officials and lords, so that the brethren could be fully glorious. ”
At the beginning, Song Jiang praised Lu Junyi for his good looks and rich family, and Lu Zhishen and Wu Song didn't care, but when it came to Zhao'an, these two good men couldn't sit still: Now that the emperor of the court is a traitor, Lu Junyi's being the lord of the village means leading everyone to be recruited to jump into the fire pit - this is simply uncle can't stand aunt and aunt can't stand it!
In their view, Song Jiang, who wrote the anti-poem "Blood Stains the Xunyang River Mouth" and "Dare to Laugh at Huang Chao's Husband", has no way out, and can only lead everyone on the road of opposing the imperial court all the way down, compared to letting Song Jiang be the lord of the village, it is more beneficial to the Liangshan brothers.
Readers are invited to imagine from the perspective of Lu Zhishen and Wu Song: One is a rich man who once wanted to destroy Liangshan and ask for merit from the treacherous ministers of the Emperor, and the other is a fugitive who has committed the most heinous crimes with the inscription anti-poetry, who will lead the brothers to the end with corrupt officials and corrupt officials?
Therefore, in the secret battle between Lu Junyi and Song Jiang's village lord throne, the former imperial court officers without exception remained silent, and even Song Jiang's hardcore fan Hua Rong did not stand up and speak, and the leopard head Lin Chong also rode a bit on the wall on the issue of whether to recruit security, which shows that those officers who surrendered did not oppose Lu Junyi as the owner of the village, Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Lin Chong and others also held a natural attitude, and the real strong opposition to Lu Junyi as the owner of the village was precisely the three characters of the three rivers and lakes, that is, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Liu Tang, and Li Kui . They are all anti-Ann faction.
Song Jiang dug a big pit in praise of Lu Junyi, implying that Lu Junyi would lead everyone to Recruit An, which of course aroused strong opposition from Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, all of which was in Wu Yong's calculations: as long as Lu Zhishen and Wu Song stood up and spoke, then the overall situation was decided - everyone wanted a rebel leader (originally there was a more appropriate term, but it was a bit of a violation), not a rich man!
Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were keenly aware of the meaning of Song Jiang's words, and for the sake of Liangshan's long-term interests, they must stand up and be "evil people" who "offended" Lu Junyi. Speaking of which, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were still calculated by Song Jiang and Wu.
Whether Lu Zhishen Wusong is a good plan or not cannot change the fate of Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals, but there is a question we need to discuss: If Lu Zhishen Wusong does not stand up for Song Jiang, or if they and Lin Chong say that they will follow Chao Gai's will to help Lu Junyi sit in the top position, what kind of conflict will occur in the Zhongyi Hall?
