Can Shi Wengong really defeat Qin Ming, and what level of his martial arts is there?
Many Water Margin fans think that Shi Wengong's martial arts can rank in the top three of the Water Margin, and some people even think that he can compete with Lu Junyi for the throne of the first place in the world, is Shi Wengong really so powerful in the original book, and how did he defeat Thunderbolt Qin Ming in only 20 rounds
In other words, Song Jiang attacked Zengtou City, the two armies set up a formation, the original text said, "Shi Wengong out of the horse, cross-killed, Song Jiang on the battlefield Qin Ming to take the lead, gallop down the horse to welcome, the two horses intersected, the weapons were raised, about more than 20 fights, Qin Ming was timid, looking at the formation and leaving, Shi Wengong rushed bravely, the spear was everywhere, Qin Ming's hind legs were early, and he fell off the horse", this is the process of Shi Wengong's defeat of Qin Ming, and it is also a stain on the life of Thunderbolt
But as one of the four famous novels, the Water Margin can't simply be regarded as a martial arts cool text, the details often hide the truth, and the same is true for this battle, as a famous tiger general of the Water Margin, Qin Ming's battle can be described as extremely abnormal, as long as Qin Ming is on the battlefield, he usually advances without retreating, and rarely loses, and there is never a time when he is halfway, why is he suddenly "timid" this time
Affected by the TV series, many people on the Internet like Hei Qin Ming, thinking that he is very good and does not deserve to be ranked among the five tigers at all, the new version of the Water Margin TV series is more completely black, and the outrageous drama of Qin Ming being called Yanzhuo for a second is staged, in fact, Qin Ming in the original book is a rare master
He once defeated Zhu Long in 10 rounds, retreated Han Tao in 20 rounds, drew Hua Rong in 50 rounds, drew Yuan Lang in 150 rounds, and even Sun An, the dragon slayer who is on par with Lu Junyi's martial arts, Qin Ming can fight with him for 50 rounds without winning or losing, which is enough to prove that Qin Ming is a first-class general
The reason why the battle of Zengtou City was lost so quickly and so miserably was not that Qin Ming's martial arts were not proficient, but that there was another hidden secret
In the battle of Zengtou City, Qin Ming's goal was very clear, that is, to "take the first credit", and the so-called first merit was to kill or capture Shi Wengong alive
But the problem is that Qin Ming, who is hot-brained, forgot what it means to take the first credit, according to Chao Gai's dying will, "If anyone catches and shoots me, he will be called the master of Liangshan" But after Song Jiang's revision, it became "Whoever catches Shi Wengong is Liangshan's bearer"
Therefore, Qin Ming is not only facing the problem of making meritorious contributions, but also involves the big problem of power replacement within Liangshan, at this time, Qin Ming, who is bent on taking the lead, obviously has not realized the seriousness of this problem
But seeing Shi Wengong coming out, with Qin Ming's personality, he would not be a thunderbolt if he didn't rush to the front, so Lao Qin was also pessimistic about life and death, and he would do it, but these 20 rounds also gave him time to think
Although Qin Ming has a violent personality, he can achieve the command of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, which proves that he is by no means an iron man, so he quickly figured out the stakes, and then thought of the past when Song Jiang killed his family, Qin Ming's sweat came down, but he was not cowardly because Shi Wengong was too powerful, but because he didn't dare to win Shi Wengong no matter what, there was still a way to live if he lost, and he would definitely die if he won
This is a moment to test Qin Ming's acting skills, he lost too completely, he couldn't hang his face, and he would still be mixed up in Liangshan in the future, so he could only lose in strength, which is the "cowardice" mentioned in the original text, not that I couldn't beat Shi Wengong, but suddenly I was bored, as for the reason for the lack of energy, I didn't eat enough, and my stomach hurt, so that it could end perfectly, and it would not affect my status and strength assessment in Liangshan
Therefore, the thunderbolt that never died in the past was suddenly defeated at this time and slipped away directly
But Qin Ming made a lot of calculations, but he didn't count that Shi Wengong sat down as a thousand miles of good horses and a jade lion in the night, and chased after him with one foot on the accelerator, which led to Qin Ming's 20 rounds of being picked by Shi Wengong to dismount, Qin Ming has been questioned since then, and Shi Wengong became famous in a fight, and Song Jiang, who was watching the battle, was even more shocked into a cold sweat, if Shi Wengong was really beheaded by Qin Ming, a reckless man, his play would be in vain
There is another detail that can also prove that Shi Wengong's strength will not be higher than that of the Liangshan Five Tigers, that is, the leader that Song Jiang brought when he attacked Zengtou City, at this time, except for Dong Ping, the other four of the Liangshan Five Tigers have all joined the gang, but Song Jiang only brought Qin Ming, who is the closest confidant, otherwise why didn't he let all the four tigers go down the mountain and work together to capture Shi Wengong
It wasn't until Qin Ming was injured that Guan Sheng, who had just gone up the mountain and had an unstable foundation, to go down the mountain to help, and Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo, who had followed Chao Gai down the mountain before, were all left aside by Song Jiang, it can be seen that in Song Jiang's eyes, the five tiger generals have the strength to take down Shi Wengong, but he doesn't trust Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo
What is the level of Shi Wengong's real force?
In fact, Shi Wen Gongyuan in the original book is not as brave as in the TV series, he has always been very timid, and he was forced to be helpless against Qin Ming
After Zeng Tu, the eldest of the five tigers of the Zeng family, was killed by Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and Hua Rong, Shi Wengong tried his best to avoid the war and protect himself, but he couldn't help but avenge his brother's five Zeng Sheng, the original text said "Shi Wengong had no choice but to put on the horse", it can be seen that he was driven to the shelf
Later, the third Zeng Suo also died, and the Zeng family wanted to surrender, Shi Wengong was even more silent, the original text said "Shi Wengong also has eight points of fear" , and then personally wrote a letter of surrender, during the peace negotiation between the two sides, Shi Wengong was also grabbed and beaten by Li Kui, from these details, it can also be seen that Shi Wengong even if his martial arts are against the sky, but his heart is a coward, such a mentality, even if he is a first-class master, at most he can only exert second-rate strength, if he really has the courage and martial arts of Lu Junyi to fight against thousands of people, he would have already left the piece of armor killed by Song Jiang and his gang, how could he surrender easily
Besides, in the battle between him and Qin Ming, Qin Ming ran away, and blinded Shi Wengong, who was not confident, thinking that he was too powerful to beat Qin Ming away, so he rode his horse to chase after him, it stands to reason that such a good opportunity, such a good mount, Qin Ming, who was exposed in the back, would definitely die, but Shi Wengong didn't know whether he didn't aim, or his hands trembled with excitement, and he actually stabbed Qin Ming in the thigh
The original work deliberately used the words "magic gun everywhere" here, I have to say that Shi Wengong's gun is really godly, and he didn't hit the key point, but he was stabbed in the thigh, and it was thanks to the fact that there were no double quotation marks in ancient writing, otherwise it would definitely be a irony here
Therefore, Shi Wengong and Qin Ming, one went into battle hard, but picked up a big bargain, and the other was afraid of offending the eldest brother, so he slipped away, and as a result, his reputation was discredited, but there is one thing to say, except for Lu Junyi, who was stunned, with Qin Ming's situation at the time, in exchange for Guan Sheng, Lin Chong also had to be beaten off the horse by Shi Wengong, otherwise, how to explain to Brother Song when he went back
If it is really hard, with Shi Wengong's cowardice mentality, he will not be Qin Ming's opponent, not to mention anything else, Qin Ming will crush him to death in terms of momentum alone
Therefore, Shi Wengong is actually not that powerful, and the upper limit of his martial arts will never exceed Qin Ming, and it may even be the level of Xu Ning Suochao's eight hussars, let alone compared to Lu Junyi
