Yang Jiaofeng on Water Margin No. 75:
As mentioned earlier, Song Jiang and Dai Zong were sentenced to death by the Cai Jiu prefect, or the kind that were executed immediately, they did not have to wait until the autumn queen. So Chao Gai immediately made a decision, leading more than a dozen leaders of Liangshan, plus more than a hundred minions, to Jiangzhou to rob the court.
However, Liangshan's rescue operation can be described as full of loopholes, not only is the division of labor unclear, the goal is not single-minded, and even the retreat route after the fact is completed is not understood, but it just blindly follows Li Kui and runs around, and the result is that it has come to a dead end.
At the White Dragon Temple, Song Jiang and his party were blocked by the Xunyang River in front, and thousands of officers and soldiers were pursuing them. At the moment when everyone was at a loss, Zhang Shun and others suddenly arrived, not only bringing ships, but also bringing dozens of people to Liangshan.
Then, the question also came, Zhang Shun and his gang had no contact with Liangshan beforehand, why did they appear in such a remote place?
Yang Jiaofeng on Water Margin No. 75: Water Margin: Jiangzhou Robbery Field, Behind Zhang Shunshan's late arrival, there is a little-known secret!
One
Let's first look at what kind of way did Zhang Shun and others come to Song Jiang's side when they appeared?
"I only saw my head slipping on the river, three boats flowing down, blowing wind and whistles and flying as if shaking the future."
Just such three boats actually made Song Jiang and more than a hundred people in song jiang and his party panic, and even Song Jiang, who did not panic in the face of thousands of officers and soldiers rounding up, lamented that his fate was not good:
"My fate is so bitter!"
From this, it can be seen that the people of Liangshan were exhausted after the battle ahead, and they were panicked in the face of three boats, a total of forty or so people with weapons. More importantly, Zhang Shun and others seemed to know that Song Jiang was here, it was like a blowing wind, and the purpose was very clear.
However, if they knew that the people of the White Dragon Temple were Song Jiang and his gang, the subsequent questioning could not be explained:
"Who are your guys?" Dare to gather in the White Dragon Temple? ”
Zhang Shun's ability to ask this proved that he did not know that Song Jiang's gang was in the White Dragon Temple, or that he was not sure that there was Song Jiang in front of him.
After determining that this gang had come to save Song Jiang and had already rescued Song Jiang, Zhang Shun explained the behavior of his party as follows:
"Today we are about to enter Jiangzhou and rob the prison to save my brother." I don't want brother Ren to have the good guys rescued and come here. ”
However, there is a big problem with this sentence, since Zhang Shun and others want to save Song Jiang, it can be said that the time is urgent, why are they still so interested in this White Dragon Temple and his party?
Therefore, there is reason to believe that Zhang Shun's words are not the truth, he is actually lying!
Two
Why is there a big problem with Zhang Shun's sentence?
There are three reasons for this:
First, there is a matter of time, Zhang Shun, as a local household in Jiangzhou or a fishing bully, cannot be unclear about the execution time of the legal field. Moreover, he himself said that since Song Jiang was imprisoned, several of their brothers were restless, and when they heard that Dai Zong had also committed a crime, they were even more anxious to discuss how to rescue them.
This proves that they are actually paying close attention to the progress of the situation at all times, and since they are always paying attention to the progress of the situation, how can they be confused until three o'clock in the afternoon, and they are late?
You know, even the people of Jiangzhou City know that they are going to cut down the Song River today, and groups of people gather in the law field to watch the liveliness, zhang Shun will not know?
The second is the location problem, Chao Gai and other people are foreigners, not familiar with the terrain, will mistakenly hit and bump, all the way to the White Dragon Temple. But Zhang Shun was a local, and if he wanted to rob the Fa, he should take a boat to the place closest to the Fa.
The place where he and Li Kui fought was the Xunyang River Wharf, which was not far from the city gate, and landing from there was the best route. The White Dragon Temple is quite remote here, and Li Kui walked five or seven miles along the river after leading everyone out of the city gate to get here:
"Yomo also walked five or seven miles along the river from the city, and in front of him he saw a mighty river, but there was no dry road."
Zhang Shun and others are best at water roads, letting go of the short road and not going, they have to go around and land from the White Dragon Temple, are they really not afraid of the officers and soldiers seeing, a group of more than forty people swinging with weapons to rob the law field?
Third, there are also problems with the personnel arrangement, Chao Gai also knows that the law field is robbed from four directions, southeast, northwest, and northwest, but Zhang Shun is here, but everyone is gathered here.
Three
Since Zhang Shun was lying, why did the group gather here?
Some people say that this just shows that Zhang Shun and others are excellent leaders and have excellent qualities as a commander. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have all seen it, we all know that in Changshanpo, Zhao Yun seven into seven out to save Ah Dou, Zhang Fei according to the water broken bridge a roar:
"Wu Nai Yan people Zhang Yi Deye, who dares to fight me to the death?"
However, how did Guan Yu, another of Liu Bei's brothers, another tiger general, disappear?
He actually went to the river to find a boat, the reason is very simple, the Battle of Changshanpo, Liu Beijun is highly likely to lose, saying that the high probability is to lift him, it is inevitable to lose.
Since you are bound to lose, you must be prepared to retreat, right?
And this person who is going to prepare for the retreat also has requirements, first of all, he must be loyal, otherwise he will defect halfway and everything will be finished. This time is the ability to be strong, do not go halfway to meet an enemy soldier, the two sides of a battle, hey, burp fart. In the end, you must be able to do a good job, otherwise you will be sent to the river to find a boat, and if the boat is not found, it will be in vain.
And Zhang Shun was the one who went to find the boat, maybe they had arrived at the edge of the law field early, and before they could do anything, Chao Gai and the others had succeeded in robbing it.
I thought they would retreat in an orderly manner, but I watched as Li Kui led the crowd further and further away into a dead end. Zhang Shun and the others did not know the people of Liangshan, so they could only observe secretly, and after finding that something was wrong, they sent a boat to meet them, and asked who everyone present was:
"I don't want brother Ren to have good men rescued and come here." Don't dare to ask, is this gang of Haojie not the Liangshan Po Yishi Chao Heavenly King? ”
Four
Some people also say that this central decision-maker is actually Song Jiang, including Li Kui, who was also sent by him, and it is still possible to secretly send a letter to Zhang Shun and others.
But these two hypotheses, there is no way to explain, why didn't Zhang Shun stop everyone at the city gate and lead to the Xunyang River wharf?
Why did Song Jiang, in the face of the three boats that came to rescue him, send out his own bad luck?
In fact, to explain all these doubts, we have to start from Song Jiang's inscription on the Xunyang Tower anti-poem, remember this sentence in the poem he wrote?
"Unfortunately, the piercing cheeks, that is worthy of Jiangzhou." If he had to avenge his wrongs in his old age, his blood stained the mouth of the Xunyang River. ”
Song Jiang's question behind him should be compared to Huang Chao, which can be understood, after all, he is playing a cruel game. However, after he was assigned to Jiangzhou, Dai Zong, Zhang Shun, and even Li Kui were all obedient to him, and they wanted to eat and drink, so why did he have any dissatisfaction, and did he have to stain the mouth of the Xunyang River with blood?
Moreover, the reason why he fell guilty was entirely because he killed Yan Po Xie, Yan Po Xi died, and Yan Po was not alive. Later, Qingfeng Zhai knew that his wife had a vendetta against him, wasn't he also held by him, and even Qingfeng Zhai Liu Gao and his wife were dug into their hearts and lungs.
Even if the two servants of Yuncheng County later captured him and had a vendetta against him, what did this have to do with the Xunyang River Estuary?
The only explanation is that Song Jiang actually has no good feelings for Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, and the Mu family brothers, and even has hatred in them. Don't forget, he was because he ate the fish given by Zhang Shun, which led to a serious illness, and after he got well, he went to Xunyang Lou to write an anti-poem:
"Song Jiang, because he saw fresh fish, coveted the refreshing taste, ate more, until the night four more, the stomach of the intestines scraped the price of pain, at dawn, a continuous diarrhea for twenty times, fainted, slept in the room."
Five
In fact, before that, Song Jiang was tormented by the Zhang family brothers, the Li family brothers, and the Mu family brothers!
At first, after Song Jiang followed the escorted messenger to the border of Jiangzhou, he quickly took the Menghan medicine in Li Li's hotel, and almost died and went out of the way. Later, he met the Mu family brothers, and even forced Song Jiang to escape all the way, fled to the Xunyang River, and fell into a desperate situation:
Crashing into the heavenly net, Song Jiang was really sad. Only then did he leave the black fierce god, and he encountered the white tiger disaster. ”
It was not easy to encounter a boat, I thought it was to save my own life, but halfway to the road, the man in the boat was going to cut Down Song Jiang again, this Man was Zhang Heng, if it were not for Li Jun's timely arrival, Song Jiang's life would be over.
From this, we can see that as soon as Song Jiang stepped into the territory of Jiangzhou, he successively encountered the Li family who wanted his life, the Mu family who wanted his life, and the Zhang family who also wanted his life.
How can the behavior of the three families support Song Jiang's name in the rivers and lakes, and spread it out to shame people?
To put it bluntly, Song Jiang and these people in Jiangzhou have no friendship, and even have a personal vendetta. Even Li Jun, who saved his life one after another, did not know him in advance, and it was only after reading the documents of the public that he was sure that this black man was Song Jiang.
Later, on the side of the Xunyang River, why didn't Song Jiang stop Li Kui and let him fight with Zhang Shun, there was also a reason in this regard, and he was sure to export his breath.
As a result, the gas did not come out, but also because of eating the fish given by Zhang Shun, it made it vomit and diarrhea, and did not come to bed after six or seven days, just like this, Zhang Shun was not interested, and the next day he wanted to send fish:
"The next day, Zhang Shunyin saw that Song Jiang loved fish to eat, and he sent two tails of a good golden carp..."
You say, Song Jiang will miss him?
Six
Song Jiang came all the way, everywhere was good food and drink, and greeted and sent, only in the Xunyang River, he suffered three big losses in succession, and almost died here, which is the reason why he wanted to stain the mouth of the Xunyang River with blood.
Just by virtue of this friendship between Song Jiang and the Jiangzhou Group, it is not too much to expect that the whole family of more than forty people, old and young, will sacrifice their lives to rob the law field to save it?
Therefore, Zhang Shun and others would not take the life of the entire family because of one Song Jiang, which also showed that they did not really want to rob the law field to save Song Jiang.
Moreover, Zhang Shun and others did not go to rob the law field, and There was no way to blame Liangshan, after all, this was a major rebellion that lost its head, and it was impossible to force others to do it.
That is to say, the key point of the problem is not on the Liangshan side, but here in the Song River, why do you say so?
Song Jiang was almost slaughtered in Li Li's tavern, why did Li Jun want to save him?
It is because Song Jiang is not representing himself, there is also a powerful Liangshan Group behind him. You must know that Song Jiang has pulled down high-ranking officials such as Hua Rong and Qin Ming, and can also make Qingfeng Zhai merge with Liangshan.
This character is so remarkable, once he suffers at his own hands, who knows what kind of revenge he will get?
After all, Qingfeng Zhai knew that Liu Gao and his wife's heart and liver had been dug up, and it was still circulating in the rivers and lakes, they failed to kill Song Jiang, and they were still treated like this, if Song Jiang died at his own hands, the consequences could be imagined.
Because I have heard too many of Song Jiang's deeds, I also understand that this person has always been blind and will be rewarded, which is also the reason why Zhang Shun rushed to send medicine for treatment after hearing that Song Jiang had eaten his own fish and diarrhea.
Seven
However, Song Jiang's case was so big that Zhang Shun did not dare to visit him in prison, and if he was not careful, he might be implicated, which was a major case of rebellion by the Nine Tribes!
Later, Lu Junyi was beaten into prison for conspiracy against him, Yan Qing dared to send him food, Song Jiang was beaten as a crime of conspiracy, and Li Kui dared to send him food, and he could not leave at all. It is because they know that Lu Junyi and Song Jiang did not really plot rebellion, including those who framed Lu Junyi and Song Jiang for rebellion, and they also knew in their hearts that this was not really a rebellion.
In fact, it is still that sentence, when people frame you for having weapons of mass destruction, you had better really have them, otherwise, you will die!
But in Zhang Shun's view, what Song Jiang is proper about is to conspire against him, after all, they know very well that behind Song Jiang is Liangshan, is it not what is rebellion?
As a result, during the period when Song Jiang was imprisoned, these people in the Jiangzhou Group did not do anything, or they should eat and drink, and they did not want to go to rescue Song Jiang at all.
Yes, they are too late to hide, how can they still get together at this time, their own little life is very good, why should they be the opposite?
However, when Song Jiang committed the case, the whole jianghu was sensational, and they were all trying to save him, but these people in Jiangzhou were indifferent.
What if Song Jiang was saved by someone else, and afterwards remembered what the Jiangzhou Clique had done, and he wanted revenge for a while?
Therefore, zhang Shun's later words to Song Jiang believe should be the truth:
"Ever since my brother ate the lawsuit, my brother was restless. There is no way to save it. ”
Zhang Shun was indeed restless, saving was not, not saving was not, of course, the choice of not saving was their best choice.
Eight
After all, Song Jiang is at best a gangster leader, running to his own territory, inviting him to eat, sing a song, take a bath, really something happened, who is still going to go forward?
Moreover, among these people, except for Zhang Heng, the others were not engaged in knife-edge licking blood trading, especially the Mu family brothers, let them rebel, they must also have the courage not to.
So, the real situation should be like this:
Zhang Shun understood in his heart that Song Jiang was somewhat dissatisfied with these people in Jiangzhou, and he did not intervene in this disaster, and once he was rescued, he would have some complaints about these people in Jiangzhou.
Therefore, they must also take action, even if it is not for fear of retaliation, it is better to hear it out. However, it was impossible for them to rob the Fa-Field, and moreover, these forty or so of them did not have the ability to rob the Fa-Field.
What they can do is to send people to stare at the law field deadly, if Song Jiang is not rescued and cut down, then send someone to secretly pick up the body and bury it thickly, which can also be regarded as an explanation.
If Song Jiang was lucky enough to be rescued, then his side would adapt to see where they were retreating from and whether they needed help. With their familiarity with the local area, as soon as Li Kui left the city, he could guess where they would eventually go, and then send a boat there to pick them up.
This is mu Taigong's doubts in the face of the crowd retreating from the White Dragon Temple:
"How did you come from that road?"
Zhang Shun naturally did not dare to answer the call, did he say that he had been following Song Jiang and his gang, if they failed, he would not know, but he did not expect that they had escaped, so he appeared from the location of the White Dragon Temple to save them.
But Zhang Shun and others came to the rescue, which did not mean that they also had to rebel, but Jiang was still old and spicy, and then they went to Song Jiang's pawn and were forced to helplessly get on the thief's boat.
So, whether Song Jiang saw through Zhang Shun's lies, and what schemes did he use, so that Zhang Shun and others had to follow him and turn against him, about these questions, we will talk about them next time!
