When the plot developed to the seventy-first chapter of the original work, after Liangshan gathered one hundred and eight leaders, the book only said: "The mountain is divided into eight villages, and the flags are lined up in five directions." The friendship is like a humerus, and the righteousness is really the same as flesh and blood. On the broken gold pavilion, the stone green monument is hung high; In front of the Hall of Loyalty, the amount of the special flat gold book. ”
How can this situation not make people's blood boil, the author read this paragraph at the beginning of the year, and I couldn't wait to rush into the book and drink with all the heroes, and work together for the heavens.

But do the heroes of Liangshan really have the ability to "do the right thing for heaven"? Not to mention the strength, Song Jiang's way of employing people alone may not be reasonable, for example, there is a person who was as famous as Wu Song before going to Liangshan, but after going up the mountain, he was used as a coolie by Song Jiang, and as a result, he became cannon fodder as soon as he went to the battlefield.
1. A person with the same name as Wu Song
Wu Song may not be the most famous hero in the book, after all, Song Jiang, the eldest brother of Liangshan, is far more famous than him, but in terms of Wu Song's strength, he is a first-class master, at least the person who made the feat of fighting the tiger with his bare hands in the book is Wu Song alone.
However, if you want to say that there are as famous as Wu Song, there are still a lot of them in the book.
For example, the "flower monk" Lu Zhishen, although he did not have the feat of fighting the tiger with his bare hands, but he also used brute force to uproot the weeping willows, and those monks were shocked to call Lu Zhishen really a god, the so-called "one force to ten meetings", saying that this Lu Zhishen is as famous as Wu Song, I am afraid that he will underestimate him, Wu Song may not be his opponent, otherwise when the two of them fall into the grass in Erlong Mountain, how can Wu Song be willing to be subservient?
In addition to people like Lu Zhishen who are as famous as Wu Song with their strength, there are also some people who deceive the world and steal their fame, which can also be said to be as famous as Wu Song.

For example, compared with the nickname of "Walker", in fact, Wu Song's name of "Tiger Fighting Hero" is more widely known, and when it comes to fighting tigers, it is inevitable that people think of Wu Song, but there is another person in the book who claims to be a "Tiger General", that person is Li Zhong, of course, Li Zhong is just a street artist, and his martial arts are at most third-rate level, but it is undeniable that his name of "Tiger General" has been launched, in a sense, he is also on the same level as Wu Song, but he is not worthy of his name.
In addition to being as famous as Wu Song in terms of strength or nickname, there is another type of hero who can also be regarded as being as famous as Wu Song, just because their identities before they went to Liangshan are the same, for example, the one mentioned in this article is the same official position as Wu Song, and he is also a capital head.
Second, the head of the tiger is as fierce as a tiger
There are four major capitals on Liangshan, in fact, it is not difficult to see through Wu Song's experience that the people who can mix with the position of the head of the capital are by no means idle, in fact, the four heads of the four capitals on Liangshan are all talents.
Wu Song doesn't need to say much, just the deeds of Jingyanggang fighting the tiger are enough for him to blow for a lifetime, and among the remaining three, although the roles of the "beautiful bearded man" Zhu Tong and the "winged tiger" Lei Heng are not as good as Wu Song, they also have enough room for performance, especially Zhu Tong, as far as he avenges Xiao Yanei, he shows his courage and loyalty, and it is not difficult to see from the ranking given to them by Song Jiang that their strength is not bad.

And the "blue-eyed tiger" Li Yun was lined up by Song Jiang in the midst of the earth, is this person's strength really so unbearable?
In fact, otherwise, you must know that Li Kui is the twenty-second fierce man in Liangshan, in addition to the Five Tiger Generals, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and others, how many people dare to say that they can stabilize Li Kui?
You must know that this guy has also killed four tigers, although he is not like Wu Song who fights tigers with his bare hands, but who else dares to say that he has the courage to face four tigers? Obviously, Li Kui is not weak, at least much stronger than those earth demons, but when Zhu Fu and Zhu Gui planned to save Li Kui, they didn't dare to come hard.
The book only says: "Zhu Fudao: 'Big brother, don't panic. This Li Dutou has good skills, and there are thirty or fifty people who can't get close to him. You and I are only of one mind, how dare you approach him? You can only outwit, not fight. Li Yun loves me the most in his daily life and often teaches me how to use some equipment. I have a reason for him, but I can't live here. Tonight, I cooked thirty or twenty catties of meat, cut more than a dozen bottles of wine, and cut the meat into large pieces, but mixed some sweat medicine in it. I took a few fire families with two five watches, and waited for him in a secluded place halfway, and when I came, I only congratulated him with wine, and turned everyone upside down, but let Li Kui go. ’”

Later, Li Kui and Li Yun had a fight, and it was indeed indistinguishable, which shows that this person is not as strong as Wu Song, but at least he has Tiangang-level strength.
Li Yun, who lost his job, naturally could only follow his apprentice Zhu Fu to fall into the grass together, but what he didn't expect was that he was a dignified head, and he was still Zhu Fu's master, but in the end the ranking was not as good as Zhu Fu, Zhu Fu was still ranked ninety-third in Liangshan, and Li Yun was actually ranked ninety-seventh, which is really outrageous.
It can be seen that Song Jiang simply didn't treat Li Yun as a person, and it is true that Song Jiang did not make the best use of it at all.
3. Talents who were scrapped by Song Jiang
What position was Li Yun assigned after he went up the mountain?
In the forty-fourth chapter of the original work, Song Jiang arranged the positions of a group of leftover heroes, and the original book said: "Let Tao Zongwang take charge of the work, dig the port, repair the waterway, open the river, tidy up the Wanzi city wall, and build the road in front of the mountain." He was originally a farmer and had been used to repairing for a long time. Jiang Jing was in charge of the treasury, and the expenses were included, accumulating thousands of dollars, and he was proficient in book calculations. Ling Xiao let set up the outside of the village, the mountain and the mountain, and the three passes, many lines of the pass to move the customs to prevent the document, and the number of the big and small leaders. He ordered Jin Dajian to make and engrave a soldier's talisman, seal, card and other items. Ling Hou Jian made robes and armor, five-party flags and other pieces. Ordered Li Yun to supervise the construction of Liangshanbo and the hall of the house. ”
In fact, the accusations that Song Jiang gave to other heroes can be regarded as making the best use of people, for example, Tao Zongwang was originally from a peasant family, he was arrogant, and it was appropriate to do the work of a supervisor; Jiang Jing is a bookkeeper, and it is reasonable for him to manage the treasury; Xiao Rang is a scholar, and it is natural that clerical work should be given to him; Hou Jian was a tailor, and he had no problem making clothes and battle flags.

And Li Yun is different, he is a capital, how can he say that he also has a good martial arts, why did he do hard work? Became a construction worker? It really doesn't make sense.
And Li Yun later did not have a chance to prove that Song Jiang's arrangement was wrong, because during the expedition to Fangla, he died in a very hasty way, and Wang Yin killed him in five rounds.
Is this Li Yun's fault? Maybe not, in the author's opinion, Song Jiang's responsibility is greater, even if Li Yun originally had the ability to reach the sky, and was called by Song Jiang as a coolie, it was inevitable that he would be scrapped, so Song Jiang's final defeat was not unreasonable, he was not a master at all.
