What kind of people should the heroes of Liangshan in "Water Margin" be? They are all heroic, take care of each other, and will draw swords to help each other when the road is uneven? There are indeed such people, but there are not many.
For example, when Han Bolong saw that people were eating overlord meals, he had the heart to stop them, but the other party didn't talk about martial arts, and hacked him to death with a sneak attack, and the person who hacked him to death was precisely the henchman "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui next to Song Jiang, who cut down his own family members from his own family, who is to reason with?
It can be seen that not everyone on Liangshan is a hero, and there are also some black sheep in the righteous hall, such as the womanizer mentioned in this article, although this person is loyal, but he is too lustful, he obviously has a skill, but he becomes cannon fodder when he goes to the battlefield.
1. The womanizer on Liangshan
How can there be heroes in the world who don't love beauties, in fact, men are lustful, that is also human nature, it is not unusual, but a gentleman loves beauty should also "take it in the right way", such as the Ming media is marrying, or after the hero saves the beauty, the beauty takes the initiative to give it to him, such a bridge is naturally what readers are willing to see, but the way some heroes on Liangshan pursue beauty is disdainful.

If you want to talk about the most typical of them, it has to be the "Bantam Tiger" Wang Ying, this guy is not only short and ugly, but also extremely obscene, and when he sees a good-looking woman, he can't help but think crookedly.
For example, he once had to fight with Yan Shun for the wife of Liu Gao, the Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village.
The book only said: "Yan Shun jumped up and said: '...... Ask him what is the matter!' Draw your sword and swing it in two. When Wang Xiaohu saw that he had cut this woman, he was furious in his heart, and he snatched a simple knife and wanted to merge with Yan Shun. Song Jiang and the others got up and persuaded him. ”
For a woman who has nothing to do with him, he has to fight hard with his brother, and there is no one who has a poor character.
Another example is the "little overlord" Zhou Tong, this person is also extremely lustful, he not only robbed the house, but also did the thing of forcibly occupying the people's daughters, of course, he did a good job on the surface, he had the intention to marry the daughter of Mrs. Liu, it can be said that he is "marrying", and he can't help but let people not marry, to put it bluntly, it is still "robbing".

As for the later plot, those who have read the original book know that Lu Zhishen made a move and taught him a lesson, but it is strange to say that Lu Zhishen was able to kill the fierce man in Guanxi with three punches, and even had the power to pull out the weeping willows, his sandbag-sized fist hit Zhou Tong's head, and he didn't kill this guy, which shows that Zhou Tong's strength is not bad.
However, whether it is Wang Ying or Zhou Tong, they are not the most lustful people, after all, there is a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, which is even more despicable.
Second, the Qinglou is a frequent visitor
Most people may not know that the first Liangshan hero to appear in the original book is not Wu Song, the most famous tiger-fighting hero, nor Song Jiang, who later became the lord of Liangshan, but Shi Dalang "Nine-Tattooed Dragon" Shi Jin of Shijiazhuang, this person is the color embryo to be mentioned in this article.
What kind of person is Shi Jin?
Speaking of which, he can actually be regarded as the most loyal person in the book, he is a typical stunned young man, wandering the rivers and lakes only with a blood, his three leaders of Shaohua Mountain, Zhu Wu, Yang Chun, and Chen Da are going to Huayin County to borrow grain, and met Shi Jin, the two sides fought, they are naturally not Shi Jin's opponents, but Shi Jin felt that the three of them were loyal, so he befriended them and became brothers.

Later, he met Lu Zhishen, and killed Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi with Lu Zhishen in the Broken Clay Pot Temple, and the two had a lifelong friendship because of this.
He is the kind of brother who deserves to be handed over to him, as long as he respects you, he will die for you, and it is never an exaggeration to say that he is the most loyal person in Liangshan.
However, in addition to the loyal side, Shi Jin also has a very lustful side.
In the sixty-ninth chapter of the original work, Song Jiang led the army to attack Dongping Mansion, and the general Dong Ping was very strong, and Liangshan naturally did not dare to despise it, and at this time, Shi Jin proposed that he should be used as an internal response and cooperate with Song Jiang to disintegrate Dongping Mansion.
The reason why he was confident that he could break into Dongping Mansion was because he had some old feelings with a prostitute in Dongping Mansion.
It is written in the book: "I saw the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin get up and said: 'When the younger brother was in Dongping Mansion, he had an affair with a prostitute in the courtyard, and he was called Li Ruilan, and he was familiar with each other. Now I have taken some more gold and silver, and I have gone into the city, and I have rested in his house. At the appointed time, my brother can fight the city. Just wait for Dong Ping to come out to fight, I will go to the drum tower and set fire, the inside and the outside should be combined, and it can become a big thing. ’”
(Stills from the Green Building)
In fact, it is not difficult to see from here that this guy Shi Jin is in and out of the fireworks land on weekdays, otherwise how can he be familiar with a prostitute? Not to mention how many green houses he has visited, at least this green house in Dongping Mansion, he must be a frequent visitor.
So don't look at Shi Dalang's stunned appearance, he is already an "old Jianghu", but he is not a green forest, but a green building.
And later, Shi Jin was almost planted in the hands of the prostitute, saying that the play was unrighteous, how could the prostitute be true to him, Li Ruilan turned his head and betrayed him, if it weren't for Song Jiang and others trying their best to save him, I was afraid that Shi Jin would have to explain here.
I don't know if it was the perennial Qinglou that ruined his body, and his later death was extremely funny.
3. A cannon fodder-like ending
When it came to the expedition to Fangla, the heroes of Liangshan were like losing their immortal golden bodies, dying one after another, and in the end, only about thirty percent of the victorious returnees remained.
In fact, it is normal for someone to die in the war, but Shi Jin's death is really a bit unjust.
It was a battle to attack Yuling Pass, at this time Liangshan was the besieging party, the other party had a geographical advantage, and the Liangshan side should have explored the situation of the other party's defense of the city, which was no problem, but Song Jiang made a stupid move, he actually sent several leaders to patrol, and also patrolled to the bottom of the city gate.

The result can be imagined, the book only says: "Xia Shijin and other six generals all rode war horses, and the rest were infantry troops, and they never bumped into a military horse when they went to the pass...... With an arrow, Shi Jin was in the middle, dismounted from the horse, and the five generals rushed forward together, and they could save the horse and go back. I saw a gong on the top of the mountain, and in the pine forests on the left and right, arrows were released together, and the five members would not care about Shi Jin, and each fled for their lives. ”
Shi Jin is also a good man in Tiangang, and he can still fight with Lu Zhishen back and forth in the early days, but at this time, he can't even defend against an arrow, which is really out of standard, isn't it that his martial arts have declined after many years of mixing in Qinglou?
It is really ridiculous and sad that the domineering nine-patterned dragon died in such an absurd way.
