Speaking of the ending of many heroes and good men in the Water Margin, it is really embarrassing. Some of their one hundred and eight died in battle very tragically, and some were secretly killed and hateful, but among them, the end of the eldest brother Song Jiang must be the most humiliating. He knew that he was killed by a traitor and had to drink poisoned wine, and as a result, he not only confessed his life, but also dragged Li Kui, who was loyal to him, to die together, which really made people anxious and angry after reading it. And his approach also made Wu Yong, the wise man on Liangshan, see through the mystery behind it, that is, Song Jiang is not the big brother of Liangshan's good man at all.
Before talking about why Song Jiang is not the big brother of Liangshan's good man, let's take a look at the evolution history of the chiefs on Liangshan. The first generation of leaders of Liangshan was named Wang Lun, and the people of Jianghu were called Baiyi Xiucai. This talent is mediocre and narrow-minded, and he can sit on the position of the owner of Liang Cottage, but he is still fortunate to have the help of Chai Jin. But his mediocre performance doomed him to be the lord of this Liangshan for a long time, especially after Chao Gai and his group went up the mountain, his end was already doomed.
Wu Yong also went to Liangshan at this time, and as soon as he went up the mountain, he keenly discovered the contradiction between Wang Lun and Lin Chong, and then took advantage of this to get rid of Wang Lun, allowing him and Chao Gai and his group to gain a firm foothold on Liangshan. Later, with Chao Gai's entry into Liangshan, his status as a military master gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he had the power to decide on many major matters after that, which did not change even after Song Jiang ascended the mountain.
And after Wu Yong followed Chao Gai through a series of events in the Birthday Gang and Shangliangshan, he thought that he would stay on this Liangshan for the rest of his life to be a wise man, but Song Jiang's arrival made him find that he still had more room to exert. Unlike Chao Gai, who is very temperamental, Song Jiang is conformist and always polite. In Chao Gai's philosophy, the brothers gathered in the mountains and forests to resist the officials is the greatest pursuit, but Song Jiang is more than that, he also wants to replace Tianxingdao.
In the end, it turned out that in terms of fighting for power and profit, Chao Gai, who looked more courageous, was not Song Jiang's opponent at all. With the fall of Zengtou City, the position of leader of Liangshan changed hands again, and Song Jiang became the big brother of Song that everyone admired in the rivers and lakes, and countless good men came to join Liangshan. Wu Yong watched all these changes, he couldn't say anything wrong, but he felt completely different from the previous situation. Later, Song Jiang said that he could not let his brothers bear the name of a thief all his life, and he wanted to recruit An for the future of his brothers.
At that time, Wu Yong understood how those imperial lieutenants in the imperial court would frame the good men of Liangshan if he recruited An. But maybe Song Jiang is too sincere, or maybe as a reader, he and Song Jiang have the same state of mind, in short, in the end, he not only agreed to Zhao'an's proposition, but also tried his best to help Song Jiang realize this cause. But he also did not expect that this choice would make them all fall into the abyss.
After Zhao'an, the once invincible good men of Liangshan were arranged to go on a campaign against the Liao State and suppress Fang La, and in the end, most of the 108 good men were lost, and the temple people who used to be hated the most by the good men effortlessly disintegrated them invisibly. And Song Jiang, who was the leader, was also framed by them and given poisoned wine.
Soon after, when the news came that Song Jiang had died after drinking poisoned wine, Wu Yong suddenly burned like five insiders, but after a little stability, he finally understood that the lord of Liangshan had never been Song Jiang, but the imperial court that Song Jiang wanted to serve. Since this leader made up his mind to recruit An, Liangshan Good Han has served the imperial court. And the good men are like puppets, manipulated by the emperor and the traitorous courtiers. In the end, the game ended, the emperor and those traitors once again sat back and relaxed, and the good man of Liangshan paid the price of his life just to participate in this game.
Wu Yong, who saw through everything, did not survive in the end, and he hanged himself in front of Song Jiang's grave with Hua Rong. The military master who used to strategize has finally become a ghost by the grave, which can't help but make people embarrassed. If he were to do it all over again, he would definitely not be the only one who followed Song Jiang's horse again.
