After Song Jiang and others robbed the law field and outwitted the Wuwei army, they went to Liangshan. Chao Gai was grateful for Song Jiang's past kindness, and knew that he was famous in the rivers and lakes, so he intended to give up the position of the leader of Liangshan. However, Song Jiang politely declined, and finally only sat in the second position.
As time passed, Song Jiang's influence in Liangshan grew, and his power loomed beyond Chao Gai. Although Chao Gai is still nominally the lord of Liangshan, in fact it has become a virtual reality, and his power is controlled by Song Jiang. Chao Gai was like a puppet in bondage, in name only, and Song Jiang not only did not discuss the affairs of Liangshan with him, but also deprived him of the right to speak. This is the case with three dozen Zhujiazhuang and Dapo Serial Horses, and Chao Gai has completely become a small transparent.
At this time, Liangshan had gathered nearly forty heroes, more than half of whom were recruited by Song Jiang. Faced with such a situation, Chao Gai felt helpless, he never expected that the hospitality he had for Song Jiang in the past would evolve into today's predicament. In order to save face and power, Chao Gai was determined to lead his troops to the battle, but unfortunately he was killed by an arrow in Zengtou City.
On his deathbed, Chao Gai left his last words: Whoever can capture the person who shot him can succeed him as the lord of Liangshan. As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Chao Gai did not want Song Jiang to take over power.
However, the wheel of fate was already doomed, and Song Jiang finally ascended to the throne of the leader of Liangshan. At this time, the number of heroes in Liangshan had reached one hundred and eight, and the entire Liangshan was under the control of Song Jiang. In order to show respect and order, Song Jiang decided to rearrange the seats according to everyone's status, family background, ability and prestige.
This ranking not only established Song Jiang's supreme position, but also laid the cornerstone for the future of Liangshan. This ranking not only reflects the difference between respect and inferiority, but also reveals the far-reaching intentions of Song Jiang and Wu Yong. Therefore, in this ranking, there were a few people whose strength was obviously not good, but they were all ranked among the thirty-six Tiangang of Liangshan. The five of them combined, they couldn't beat Wu Song.
4/5: Xie Zhen, Xie Bao brothers
These two brothers, who were originally hunters in the mountains, knew almost nothing about the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and had never experienced the guidance of any martial arts masters. When it comes to the high martial arts of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, they are like unattainable stars for the two of them, and even compared with Sun Li, Huang Xin, Hao Siwen, Shan Tingsi, etc., among the seventy-two earths in Liangshan, they may only tremble in front of each other, and they are powerless.
Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, although they have cousins with Sun Li and Sun Xin, their prestige and influence in the territory of Dengzhou are far inferior to their cousin, Sun Li, who is respectfully known as the sick lieutenant Chi.
In the land of Dengzhou, Sun Li's words and deeds were like the decree of the law, and no one dared to disobey them, but when the gears of fate turned and they stepped into the broader world of Liangshan, the rules were no longer up to Sun Li. Here, Song Jiang's will is the iron law that the heroes of Liangshan must follow.
In other words, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were able to catch up, surpass Sun Li, who was famous in Dengzhou, and rank among the Tiangang stars, all of which are inseparable from Song Jiang's thoughtful and ingenious arrangements. Song Jiang did this in order to suppress Sun Li.
3、没遮拦穆弘
Mu Hong, the leader of the three tyrants of Jieyang in the past, stood side by side with his brother Mu Chun and created a legend of hegemony in Jieyang Town. Although his martial arts are not outstanding, he has a wealth of money and is rich. When the banner of Liangshan was unfurled, he resolutely embarked on this heroic road with all his net worth, and became a veritable hero of "bringing capital to the mountain" in Liangshanbo.
However, when it comes to military exploits, Mu Hong is much inferior. In the 36 Heavenly Gang Stars, he seems to be more of an obscure bystander, and in the Eight Hussars, his presence also seems to be a touch of water that is difficult to ignore. His martial arts are mediocre, there are few feats of capturing the flag on the battlefield, except for a draw with Zhu Hu in Zhujiazhuang, there are almost no bright spots in his record book.
In the Eight Hussars, the other generals were all from the military and had superb martial arts, even Shi Jin had studied under Wang Jin and learned half a set of military martial arts. is the only Mu Hong, his martial arts are purely Jianghu style, lacking the rigor and killing of the military. In the original book, military martial arts often override the kung fu of the rivers and lakes, which also makes Mu Hong's position in the eight hussars more and more embarrassing.
Some readers may mention that Mu Hong once dragged Li Kui away in an attempt to justify his martial arts. However, if the level of martial arts is measured in this way, how can the plot of Jin Cuilian's father, Jin Laohan, dragging Lu Zhishen away? Could it be said that Jin Laohan also has the strength to uproot the weeping willows? Obviously, this cannot be a powerful evidence to prove that Mu Hong's martial arts are high.
2. Sick Suo Yang Xiong
Yang Xiong, one of the 36 Tiangang stars in Liangshan, is actually deeply cowardly and incompetent. He has neither strong martial arts nor a wise mind, like a crammy stumbling in the rivers and lakes. If it weren't for Shi Xiu's help, Yang Xiong would have died many times in danger.
In the original work, Yang Xiong's cowardice and incompetence are vividly depicted. In the face of the siege of Zhang Bao and two idlers, he was helpless, so he had to swallow his anger and could not break free from this predicament.
Zhang Bao, a little person on a par with Niu Er, his martial arts level is not high, and he was even killed by Yang Zhi in one second. However, it was this Zhang Bao who put Yang Xiong in such an embarrassing situation.
Such a Yang Xiong seems so out of place among the many heroes of "Water Margin". His cowardice and incompetence not only put him in danger, but also greatly reduced people's evaluation of him. It is this Yang Xiong who also highlights Shi Xiu's bravery and wisdom to a certain extent. With the help of Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong was able to save the day again and again, which also made people look at Shi Xiu with admiration.
1. Zhiduoxing Wu Yong
Wu Yong, the military advisor who was respected as "Zhiduoxing" in Liangshanbo, if compared with Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, the gap in his wisdom and strategy is like a faint firefly and a bright moon, a trickling stream and a vast sea. In "Water Margin", although Wu Yong's performance has its own uniqueness, it seems that his strategy and methods are always inseparable from those old routines: sweat medicine, harming innocent people and children, and stealing techniques.
Before he became a lawyer, Wu Yong was only a teacher in the countryside, and his understanding of war and military formations was indeed limited. He may still be able to barely recognize the common military formations, but once he encounters complex or rare military formations, Wu Yong seems to be overstretched, and even finds it difficult to identify.
Although Wu Yong was able to show a certain amount of resourcefulness and strategy on some occasions, overall, his level of resourcefulness was not high. Among Liang Shanbo's many heroes, Wu Yong's resourcefulness may be able to rank among the famous, but if compared with true strategists, his gap is particularly obvious.
