Preface
Some people say that true heroes don't care about the next life, they only care about the present life. So, the legend finally returned to dust, and how many years did these loyal Liangshan heroes live?
Those thrilling grievances and hatreds back then are now only speculations between the lines. Song Jiang smiled but did not speak, Wu Song gradually drifted away, and their story faded in the years. What we see is nothing more than an old dream with an afterimage, but it is enough to shake the earth.
1. The glorious years of Liangshanbo
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's changes caused public indignation, and the people were struggling to make a living. Young people with unique skills gathered in Liangshanbo, not for money, but for their ambitions, shameful and strong, even just for an insignificant favor.
Liangshanbo gradually became an important town, and 108 heroes gathered, each leading the way. Song Jiang smiled and chanted, elegant and elegant; Li Kui is heroic and rough, but he is also loyal and honest; Wu Song has a cold and quiet personality but acts decisively, and is extremely trustworthy. Although the heroes have different temperaments, they are all loyal and single-minded, and they value love and righteousness.
In their days in Liangshanbo, they wrote a popular legend. Every time I go to war, there is a scene of thousands of empty alleys. The enemy was terrified, and their fame spread far and wide, and they gradually became the national heroes of the day. The people cried and laughed and said, "If you want to kill the giant kou, you will find Liangshanbo."
The pillars of Liangshanbo often stand on high places, their eyes firmly telling their brothers that we are for justice. Every battle is a test, but the heroes of Liangshan never flinch. Lin Chong's spear was like a flying dragon thundering, Li Kui's double axe was dry in the air, and Wu Song was always calm and wise, quietly hunting enemies. And Song Jiang is their soul, the embodiment of the spirit of Liangshan.
For a time, Liang Shanbo's reputation skyrocketed and became a symbol of justice in that era. Countless boys and girls revere their chivalry and righteousness, and dream of becoming heroes like them. And the heroes of Liangshan also realized in this process that they were not only for personal grievances, but also to support a fair sky for the people.
2. Swear allegiance to the death Follow Song Jiang to swear to the south
Liangshan won successive battles, and the heroes scattered. Song Jiang was determined to go south and exterminate the remnants of Fang La's forces. As soon as the news came out, Bo Zhong was suddenly silent.
Li Kui shouted loudly, and said arrogantly that he wanted them to see the majesty of Liangshan. But Song Jiang's eyes were clearly solemn and solemn. He reminded everyone that Fang La is not an idle person, and this will be a tough battle.
Wu Song was silent for a moment, and said firmly and forcefully, I will wait for life and death to follow my brother. A trace of melancholy flashed on Lin Chong's face, which was fleeting. He said solemnly, I am willing to follow the Liangshan brothers and swear allegiance to the death.
The brothers expressed their stance one after another, vowing to advance and retreat with Song Jiang. Although the future of the southern expedition was uncertain, they only had trust in Song Jiang and a lonely spirit in their hearts. The war drums of Liangshan played again, and 108 heroes went south in full gear. This time, they were not only for personal grievances, but also for Liangshan's beliefs. Solemnity and perseverance were written on everyone's faces, and a neat procession walked through the mountains and rivers.
3. Losing Vitality Many heroes in Liangshan sacrificed
The journey to the south was even more difficult than they imagined, stumbling and dangerous. When he arrived in Hangzhou, Yang Xiong fell ill under the horse, and his life was on the verge of death. Before he died, he said to his old friend Zhang Shun, take care... I can't walk anymore.
After that, Zhang Qing, Liu Tang and others also died heroically in the battles in southern Zhejiang. Kong Ming was killed by an arrow during the attack on Kunshan. Liangshan's new force suffered heavy losses, and there was no grass. But they still gritted their teeth and moved forward, because behind them were Song Jiang and Liangshan, and it was their faith.
Then came the Battle of Kinmen in Hangzhou. The enemy is sharp and the situation is critical. The Liangshan people will take advantage of the darkness to launch a surprise attack. Lin Chong had a spear, and thousands of troops were invulnerable. Later, Lu Zhishen fiercely broke out of the encirclement and rescued Song Jiang. Lin Chong retreated because of his success and was accidentally hit by an arrow and fell off the city. He took one last look at the night sky before landing on the ground, and said softly, Liang Shanbo is immortal.
Many people wept bitterly, and Lin Chong's death became the deepest grief of the people of Liangshan. After that, they were like mourning, and under the leadership of Song Jiang, they finally conquered Shezhou and exterminated Fang La. But...... Is the price too painful to be worth it? All the Liangshan brothers are asking themselves.
Fourth, the end of the hero's fate is a hero
After the war, more than half of the brothers died in Liangshanbo, leaving 38 people, who were destitute. After hearing the news, Li Kui said: These are all good men, and they are jealous of their talents! Countless Liangshan brothers have died in other places and will never be able to return to their homeland. Song Jiang couldn't be himself on the top of the mountain for a long time, looking at the sky with his hands folded, and his heart was mixed.
Wu Song broke his arm and became a monk in a temple in Hangzhou. He said to the little monk that the children of the rivers and lakes are all dust. All I want now is peace of mind. If you put it down, you will be relieved.
Lin Chong died of war wounds, and Wu Song guarded him at his tomb for 20 years... Until the age of 80, he still did not give up. This is their brotherhood, life and death together, inseparable.
Most of the remaining people in Liangshan died in the subsequent turmoil. Song Jiang and Li Kui voluntarily drank poisoned wine in order to take care of the people and avoid the disaster. Before dying, Song Jiang sighed, my life for Liangshan ended like this. Li Kui laughed and said that Li Kui has acted all his life and has no regrets about his death today!
5. The immortal legend of the spirit of Liangshan through the ages
Time has passed, and those heroic figures are no longer real. Their stories have been washed through history. Liangshanbo has long been empty, overgrown with weeds, and there is no vitality in the past.
But people often think of those fierce and loyal bones, and those soft intestines. It is with them, with that warm blood and flesh fascia, that we can live comfortably under this blue sky and white sun.
They will also grow old and have a bad fate. But the legend of Liangshan and their story have been integrated into this land and become a bloodline that has lasted for thousands of years. The people are still singing and singing to this day. Those figures who parted indifferently seemed to be close at hand. They are heroes, heroes, and the most precious spiritual sustenance in our hearts.
Liangshanbo is immortal, precisely because of their dedication. So, remember these names: Song Jiang, Li Kui, Wu Song, Lin Chong... To remember them is to remember the bone and flesh fascia of the Chinese.
epilogue
Heroes are sad about fate after all, this is the unfortunate truth. The good news, however, is that their spirit lives on, and their stories are passed down from generation to generation, serving as a source of inspiration for future generations.
We must not forget history and the sacrifices and dedication of our ancestors, which is the least respect for them. When we are faced with difficulties and setbacks, we can't help but ask ourselves: "What would Song Jiang do if he was present? If Wu Song was present, what would he do?"
By integrating their spirit into the blood vessels of our skin, perhaps we are worthy of being their heirs. From generation to generation, we will eventually break through the encirclement and continue to move forward towards the other side of the ideal. It is precisely because of these immortal names that the direction of our lives is lit.
Therefore, we must remember, and only remember, that these legends can endure through the ages and illuminate the future of children. Because of nostalgia, we have never forgotten them and never given up on our dreams.
