Li Kui is definitely not a good person, he bullies the weak and is afraid of killing innocents indiscriminately, and he is definitely not a hero, but to say that Li Kui is a scumbag of war, it seems that it is not very objective: if Li Kui's ability is low, not only Song Jiang will not rely on him as a confidant, but Lu Zhishen and Wu Song may have killed him under the sword and staff a long time ago.
Lu Zhishen and Wu Song did not kill Li Kui, on the one hand, it may be because Li Kui belongs to the city fox society rat in Liangshan, and most people have to give Song Jiang some face, on the other hand, it may also be because Li Kui is not so easy to kill, such as Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang and Bantam Tiger Wang Ying, who have not avenged Hujiazhuang's father and fellow villagers, it may be because they can't beat Li Kui - Li Kui ranks 22nd in the 36th Tiangang, and Wang Ying and his wife are only ranked 58th and 59th among the 100 single and 8 generals, and the gap between the two sides is large.
Hu Sanniang's martial arts are not weak, she does not seek revenge against Li Kui, it is not only a rat trap, but also there is no certainty of killing with one blow: it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, once he misses, the consequences will be unimaginable - we have seen Li Kui's four heads-up records, and we will also sweat for Hu Sanniang, and even feel that Li Kui has the power to fight Wu Song.
Hu Sanniang was afraid of Li Kui, not without reason, when the Liangshan Army fought in Zhujiazhuang for the first time, Hu Sanniang chased Song Jiang and fled in embarrassment, first Li Kui was so frightened that Hu Sanniang looked for another way, but ran into Lin Chong, and was captured alive in less than ten rounds: "Yizhangqing was catching up with Song Jiang, and when he was about to start, he only heard someone on the hillside shouting: 'Where is the bird lady driving my brother?'" When Song Jiang looked at it, it was the black whirlwind Li Kui, with two board axes, leading seventy or eighty little minions, striding into the future. As soon as he was green, he turned his horse and looked at the edge of the woods. ”
Zhujiazhuang's boss Zhu Long's martial arts are good, "Lin Chong raised his Zhangba snake spear and fought with Zhu Long. fought to more than 30 in a row, regardless of victory or defeat. The gongs sounded on both sides, and each returned to his horse. ”
Zhu Long's martial arts are relatively high, but it seems to be high and low, he and Lin Chong fought for thirty rounds and ended in a draw, but he went head-to-head with Thunderbolt Qin Ming, and he showed defeat in ten rounds, doesn't this mean that Qin Ming is more powerful than Lin Chong?
Of course, Qin Ming would not be higher than Lin Chong's martial arts, and Zhu Long might be weak in terms of strength, and he was not very suitable for Qin Ming's powerful mace.
It was this Zhu Long, who retreated under the Zhangba snake spear and the wolf's tooth stick, but was beheaded by Li Kui like chopping melons and vegetables: "Suddenly hit the black whirlwind, and arrived immediately, wielded the double axe, and cut the horse's feet early." Zhu Long was caught off guard, knocked down, and was hit by Li Kui with an axe, and his head was knocked to the ground. ”
Li Kui's killing of Zhu Long is quite the style of Wu Song killing Yelu Dezhong and Bei Yingkui, so some people say that Li Kui can fight with Wu Song, which is not without basis.
Wu Song killed Zhu Long, showing his will to fight without fear of death and extremely fast shooting speed, and in the next three battles, Li Kui's performance was also very brave.
Li Kui and Jade Qilin Lu Junyi went head-to-head, and the fight was very interesting: Lu Junyi couldn't wait to swallow Li Kui, who pretended to be a dumb Taoist boy to fool him, but Li Kui was careless, but Li Kui turned around and ran away after three rounds, and Lu Junyi was helpless.
If there is a huge difference in martial arts, Li Kuizi and Lu Junyi will definitely not be able to support three rounds under the knife. Song Jiangwu arranged for Li Kui to take the lead, and like Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, they only fought alone for three rounds, and the other five heroes fought against Lu Junyi, but it was Zhu Tong and Lei Heng who joined forces, and Liu Tang, Li Ying, and Mu Hong were beaten by three people, doesn't this mean that in Song Jiangwu's eyes, Li Kui is higher than Zhu Tong Mu Hong and others?
Li Kui not only survived under Lu Junyi's knife when he was alone, but also showed the same bravery as Wu Song in the regular battle later, in the battle to break the Liao State, "the black whirlwind Li Kui picked up a double axe, slashed and killed the Liao soldiers along the way, was facing He Yun, grabbed the horse, cut off the horse's feet with an axe, fell at that time, and He Yun fell off the horse." Li Kui's double axes are like flying, even people and horses, and he only cares about chopping. ”
Many people say that Lu Zhishen and Wu Song don't care about Li Kui at all, which is obviously contradictory to the record of the original Water Margin, when conquering Tian Hu, Li Kui and Lu Zhishen joined forces to make contributions, and they cooperated quite tacitly: "Niu Wenzhong saw that Gaizhou had been lost, so he had to run out of the city, and he was protected by Yu Yulin, Guo Xin, Sheng Ben, and Sang Ying, and was bumping into Li Kui and Lu Zhishen, leading the infantry to intercept the way. Li Kui got up and down with an axe, and cut down Guo Xin and Sang Ying early. Niu Wenzhong was so frightened that he was caught off guard, and was beaten to pieces by Lu Zhishen with a Zen staff and a helmet to take the lead, and knocked off the horse. ”
Li Kui wanted to kill them all, but Lu Zhishen hurriedly stopped: "Leave those two donkey heads!" ”
Li Kui was still relatively obedient in front of Lu Zhishen, he cut off three heads and went back to report his merits, and he really didn't kill - it seems that Li Kui and Lu Zhishen are together, and their performance is still good, if Song Jiangken deploys Li Kui to Lu Zhishen as a deputy, he may not be able to become the second Wu Song. This is called the red and the black near the ink, and the fluffy hemp does not support itself.
Li Kui was not greatly affected by Lu Zhishen, this is a tragedy, but Li Kui and Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Liu Tang are not no friends at all, and they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe and even live and die together. When fighting Tianhu, Li Kui and Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were all captured by Qiao Daoqing, and everyone behaved amazingly.
After being captured, Li Kui was the first to open his mouth and scolded Qiao Daoqing: "What kind of person do you see the old man? If you want to cut Grandpa Hei, you can take it and cut hundreds of knives, if Grandpa Hei frowns, he is not a hero. ”
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Liu Tang followed and reprimanded angrily: "Demon Dao, you don't have to dream! The heads of my brothers can be broken, and these iron legs can't be bent." ”
In the end, Lu Zhishen laughed and said on behalf of the brothers: "The Sprinkle family regards death as home, and today is the right way to die." ”
Readers, just imagine, with such a fateful friendship, how could Lu Zhishen and Wu Song turn their faces and fight for their lives with Li Kui?
Li Kui and Lu Zhishen and Wu Song fought side by side more than once, and the three of them took care of each other and formed a deep affection on the battlefield.
During the conquest of Tian Hu, the three of them fought side by side again, and Li Kui also showed a strong ability to resist blows - Lin Chong was "hit in the face" by Qiong Ying's stone, blood burst out, and he dragged his spear back into battle...... Joan Ying chased after him. flew out of the 500-foot army, first of which were Li Kui, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao, five fierce generals who were accustomed to foot combat. Li Kui grabbed the axe in his hand and grabbed it directly, Qiong Ying saw the ferocity of his coming, and held the stone in his hand, hoping that Li Kui would hit it, and he was in the middle of the forehead. Li Kui was also taken aback, fortunately the skin was old and the bones were hard, and the pain was only painful, but it was not broken. ”
Li Kui's skin is thicker than Song Jiang, Qiong Ying can beat Lin Chong injured and put in formation, Li Kui was hit with a second stone, although both times hit the same part caused Li Kui's blood to burst out, but "Li Kui is an iron man after all, that black face, with bright red blood, Wu is a fire horn, swinging a double axe, crashing into the formation, and cutting the northern army indiscriminately." ”
In that battle, Li Kui entered the enemy formation alone, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were worried about Li Kui's safety, and they also rushed in, but the result was that Li Kui and Wu Song returned to the camp "covered in blood", but lost Lu Zhishen - this is the reason why Lu Zhishen strayed into the "fate entangled well".
Lu Zhishen freed himself from the fate of the well and captured the god horse Ma Ling, after this battle, Li Kui and Lu Zhishen Wu Song's comradeship has increased a few points, Li Kui is so brave and resistant, it must have left a deep impression on everyone.
Li Kui is indeed not a good person, and what he does can even be called the "Four Evils of Liangshan" with Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Dong Ping, but when we look at people, we always need to divide them into two: Before Li Kui met Song Jiang, "in Jiangzhou prison, but when he was drunk, he was helpless (bullying) sinners, as long as he beat an ordinarily strong prison (a jailer like Li Kui)", after meeting Song Jiang, he became unconscionable and indiscriminately killed innocents. Although Li Kui's nature has changed greatly, his martial arts have not weakened, and in the four fights we have taken stock of today, he has shown himself as brave as Wu Song, and even his fighting style is eighty percent similar.
If Li Kui first met not Dai Zong and Song Jiang, but Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, then the trajectory of his life would have changed fundamentally, and it was not impossible for him to become a real hero.
Li Kui met someone unladylike and was finally poisoned by Song Jiang, which also left us with such a topic: If Li Kui had not met Song Jiang and became a butcher, he met Wu Song on the rivers and lakes and had a conflict, and the two fought alone, how many rounds would it take to distinguish the winner from the loser? What is the probability of Li Kui winning?
