Hi everyone, I'm a bug world, follow me, and continue to update more reviews about literary stories!
Everyone knows that there are 108 heroes in Liangshan, even if Duan Jingzhu, Shi Qian or Bai Sheng, who are at the end of the list, many people know their stories. However, can you think of Guo Sheng as a person?
It can be said that for people who are not very familiar with the novel "Water Margin", Guo Sheng is like he does not exist, although Guo Sheng's asterisk is Diyouxing, which is so similar to the asterisk of Tianyouxing Xu Ning.
So, why is it so difficult for everyone to think of Guo Sheng?
Insect World personally thinks that one of the very important reasons is because Guo Sheng is in the novel, and in most of the scenes, he can be seen as the shadow of Di Zuoxing Lu Fang.
It is precisely because of a person who exists like a shadow that it is most easily ignored by everyone, and then it is not remembered by everyone, and then it becomes an unknown person in the novel.
So, why is Guo Sheng said to be Lu Fang's shadow?
If you carefully look at the three things related to Guo Sheng in the book, it is not difficult to understand this statement.
The first thing, when facing Shadow Mountain, it was Lu Fang who first occupied the mountain as the king, and then Guo Sheng came to compete with Lu Fang for the top of the mountain.
According to the book, although Shadow Mountain is not a famous mountain, nor is it as large as Liangshan, it can at least become a treasure land for Lu Fang to survive. However, as soon as Guo Sheng arrived at Shadow Mountain, he took a fancy to this place and had to compete with Lu Fang for the right to manage Shadow Mountain.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, Guo Sheng followed Lu Fang's footsteps to come to Shadow Mountain, and then became Lu Fang's shadow.
The second thing is that the two are similar in appearance, have the same weapons, and even have the same nicknames, just like to Kageyama.
In the novel, Lu Fang is a handsome young man, and Guo Sheng is similar. In addition, the weapons used by the two of them were both Fang Tian Painting Halberds, and if both of them were wearing the same clothes, it would be difficult to tell who was who at once from a distance.
Even their nicknames are indiscriminate.
For example, Guo Sheng's nickname is Sai Rengui, while Lu Fang's nickname is Xiao Wenhou.
Wen Hou generally refers to Lu Bu, how heroic Lu Bu was during the Three Kingdoms period, everyone knows, Lu Fang is nicknamed Little Wen Hou, and his strength can be seen.
And Xue Rengui in the Tang Dynasty was even more well-known, although his reputation was not as good as Lu Bu, he was also a hero who could not be ignored, and Guo Sheng was nicknamed Sai Rengui, that is, he was more powerful than Xue Rengui, and his strength was directed at Lu Bu.
This is like the opposite shadow mountain where Lu Fang is located, Lu Fang is on one mountain, and Guo Sheng is on another mountain, just like the inside and outside of a mirror, so Guo Sheng is Lu Fang's shadow.
The third thing is that there is a place where Lu Fang is fighting, basically there is nothing to do with Guo Sheng, only when Lu Fang is not in front of Guo Sheng, can Guo Sheng's strength be shown.
Although some people say that Guo Sheng and Lu Fang are both Song Jiang's bodyguards, many times, all they see is Lu Fang charging into battle, and it is difficult to see Guo Sheng take the initiative. Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why Guo Sheng is difficult to remember.
After all, Lu Fang's strength seems to be stronger than Guo Sheng, otherwise he would not be stronger than Guo Sheng. In addition, since they were both Song Jiang's bodyguards, when Lu Fang took the initiative to attack, then Guo Sheng did not dare to leave his post without permission, so the combat time that belonged to him was basically very little.
And the only time Guo Sheng was slightly away from Lu Fang was when he was killed by people and horses flying down a boulder from the mountain, it can be said that Guo Sheng could not get rid of the fact that he was Lu Fang's shadow even if he died.
Fortunately, since Guo Sheng is Lu Fang's shadow, then after Guo Sheng's death, Lu Fang, as the owner of the shadow, will not have much time, perhaps, this is the best reward for Guo Sheng as a shadow!
