"Water Margin": Chao Gai's death is full of mysteries, is Shi Wengong the real murderer? Wrong, the purpose of Zengtou City is to catch alive, and the arrow will not quench the poison. So, who is the most suspicious of the 20 good men of Liangshan who followed Chao Gai on the expedition?
If anyone catches Shi Wengong, he will be made the lord of Liangshan.
After saying this, Chao Gai closed his eyes reluctantly.
Chao Gai believed that the arrow in his face was shot by Shi Wengong, and Liangshan's great enemy was None other than Shi Wengong.
Is this really the case? There are many doubts about this matter.
First of all, will Shi Wengong's arrow be quenched?
Shi Wengong's arrow technique is high, and it goes without saying much. Under normal circumstances, people with high arrow skills will not quench poison.
Whether on the green forest road or in the thousand-mile battlefield, quenching poison is a despicable act and a proper rat.
Shi Wengong was a man with a face, and his arrow technique did not need to quench poison at all.
Secondly, in the face of the good men of Liangshan, the purpose of Zengtou City was not to exterminate them all, but to capture them alive and escort them to Bieliang for merit.
This point is clearly written in the original book of "Water Margin".
The good men of Liangshan fought with Zengtou City for the first time, and Zengtou City put up more than a dozen prison carts.
The boss of the Five Tigers of the Zeng family, Zeng Tu, shouted loudly in front of the battle:
"See me stuck in the car?" I killed you in the house, not a good man!" I'm going to catch you alive one by one, loaded into a trap car to untie Tokyo, Fang Xian is the means of the five tigers! ”
What does this mean? It shows that Zengtou City is very clever, and catching Liangshan thief Kou alive is the best choice.
If Zengtou City wins, he can send the Liangshan thief Kou to Bieliang to ask for credit.
If Zengtou City was defeated, it could also negotiate with Liangshan with the Liangshan thief Kou who had been captured alive.
Apparently, Shi Wengong's head went into the paste, and he would shoot Chao Gai with a poisonous arrow.
Once Chao Gai is shot, there is no room for easing between Zengtou City and Liangshan, and only you are left to fight to the death!
In addition, the name engraved on the arrow is also very suspicious, appearing to be very deliberate, deliberately planting stolen goods for Shi Wengong.
You've read a lot of ancient renditions, who would engrave their name on the arrow? Afraid of not having enough enemies?
When Elder Brother Song led the good men of Liangshan to conquer Zengtou City for the second time, Li Kui was hit by an arrow.
The original book of "Water Margin" is written like this:
"Black whirlwind Li Kui, with an axe in his hand, once raised, he called for an arrow. Li Kui was shot by Zeng Sheng, his legs were upright, and his body was like Mount Tai, and he fell to the ground. ”
Li Kui was hit by an arrow, but he was not poisoned and killed, and there was no name on the arrow.
The good men of Liangshan didn't care if the arrow had been quenched this time, and no one checked whose name was written on the arrow.
Through the above analysis, we can judge that Chao Gai's death has little to do with Shi Wengong, but has a lot to do with Brother Song.
Chao Gai died, and Brother Song was able to sit in the top seat of Liangshan with a straight face.
Big Brother Song really has enough motivation, enough reason, to plan this matter.
Elder Brother Song's martial arts are very good, and it is estimated that he does not know how to use arrows, and he must have arranged for others to do it.
Who will Brother Song arrange to do this? It is estimated that most readers will think of Xiao Li Guanghuarong.
Hua Rong is the concubine of Big Brother Song, and is willing to die for Big Brother Song.
If Brother Song arranges Forayth to do this, I believe that Huarong will not frown and will do it beautifully.
However, Hua Rong did not have a chance. Chao Gai himself ordered 20 leaders to follow him to conquer Zengtou City, and Hua Rong was not among them!
The original book of "Water Margin" is described as follows:
On that day, Chao Gai ordered Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Xu Ning, Mu Hong, Zhang Heng, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Sun Li, Huang Xin, Yan Shun, Deng Fei, Ou Peng, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiao'er, Ruan Xiaoqi, Bai Sheng, Du Qian, and Song Wan, a total of twenty leaders, and three soldiers and horses descended the mountain.
Let's see, Chao Gai deliberately avoided Big Brother Song's confidants, and chose the old brothers.
If Hua Rong sneaks into the battlefield, secretly shoots Chao Gai, and then secretly runs back without leaving any clues, the difficulty coefficient is too great.
Because once a good man from Liangshan sees Hua Rong, will Hua Rong also kill this person?
If Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, and Xu Ning saw Hua Rong, would Hua Rong have the strength to kill the three of them?
It was the middle of the night, and in the dark wilderness, Chao Gai was running around with a group of people like headless flies.
Unless Hua Rong wore night vision goggles and eight-fold goggles, it was impossible to hit Chao Gai with one arrow.
Therefore, the one who hit Chao Gai with an arrow should be the leader beside Chao Gai.
Of the twenty leaders around Chao Gai, who is the most suspicious?
We can use the exclusion method to first exclude Bai Sheng, Du Qian, and Song Wan, the three idlers.
Chao Gai stood still in the daytime, and neither of them could necessarily shoot Chao Gai, so they were directly excluded.
Ruan Xiao'er, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi were Chao Gai's confidants, and it was Chao Gai who brought them out of Shijie Village, and the three of them could not have been brothers.
Liu Tang defected to Chao Gai, and only then did he have a team of outwitting the Birth Anniversary Gang, chao Gai was kind to Liu Tang, and Liu Tang could not do it.
Zhang Heng is good at swimming, and he knows nothing about archery, nor is it likely.
Huang Xin was Qin Ming's apprentice, who had been beaten by Qingfeng Mountain Sansan, and his arrow technique was obviously not up to this level.
Yan Shun and Deng Fei, both from mountain thieves, have a body of strength, and the arrow technique is a bit unattainable for them.
Mu Hong is a ground snake, and the original said that he can light sticks and sticks, and there is no need to fiddle with arrows.
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu are both experts in infantry combat, good at using knives and ignorant of archery techniques.
Speaking of this, there are only five people left who are suspicious: Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Xu Ning, Sun Li, and Ou Peng.
Ou Peng should not be underestimated, he is a martial artist, and in the original work, he has a wonderful performance of receiving arrows with his bare hands.
Of these five people, who is the most suspicious? In my opinion, Sun Li and Ou Peng are the most suspicious.
Secretly calculating chao gai's things, Lin Chong should not be able to do it.
Moreover, Lin Chong and Big Brother Song have almost no intersection, and This kind of thing Big Brother Song will not arrange for Lin Chong to do.
Xu Ning was calculated by Big Brother Song and Wu to go up the mountain, and he was very disgusted with Big Brother Song in his heart, and Big Brother Song would not use him.
Hu Yanzhuo was an upright warrior, and this kind of thing was not like Hu Yanzhuo's style.
This kind of thing is actually very similar to Sun Li's style.
When he was three times Zhujiazhuang, Sun Li took the initiative to defect to The Elder Brother Song, and in order to join Liangshan, he did not hesitate to betray his brother Luan Tingyu.
That is to say, Sun Li has no bottom line in doing things, and Sun Li also has this strength.
Sun Li has more strength than Ou Peng to do this well.
