The three mountains gathered to fight Qingzhou, the fighting spirit was full of drums and vibrations, and the fierce generals on both sides went into battle, but they did not see the head of Wudu.
"Xijiang Yue's Wu Song Avoids the War"
Brother Cao temporarily wrote a poem "Xijiang Moon", expressing his great disappointment that Wu Song could not face the hard bar, and Brother Cao felt that he was not the only one who had this disappointment, most of the Water Margin fans would be disappointed.
Why is this so?
First of all: Wu Song, as one of the most influential and well-known heroes in the people, did not have a record of fighting against any first-class famous generals, and finally caught a famous general Hu Yanzhuo.
Second: Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi have successively fought Hu Yanzhuo, all of which are difficult to win in the forty or fifty battles, at this time of crisis, Wu Song did not come forward but was afraid to move forward to be a "shrinking turtle", and the disappointment of Water Margin fans, especially Wu Song fans, has long been overflowing.
If it is in the case of Luda Yang Zhi's steady victory, Wu Song avoids not fighting and does not take the merits of others, this kind of high wind and bright festival is remarkable, but the problem is that Luda Yang Zhi is uneven and scorching, while Wu Song is watching from the wall, it is somewhat unreasonable, right?
After Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi successively leveled Hu Yanzhuo, he praised Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen in front of the Murong Prefect for his strong martial arts, not a green forest method, but he didn't say a word about Wu Song, why is this?
Is it because Wu Song's force can't enter Hu Yanzhuo's eyes?
Not really! How so?
After Hu Yanzhuo is Hu Yanzan, he thinks very highly of himself and does not look down on people, and he also praises and disparages Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi's martial arts, he once boasted in front of the prefect: the last general has already seen the martial arts of Yang Zhizhi and Lu Tizhi, only tonight, one by one, take it to dismiss the official.
Judging from Hu Yanzhuo's tone, on the one hand, he affirmed Yang Lu's martial arts, and on the other hand, he was more confident in his martial arts, and it was only a matter of time before he captured these two.
The reason why Hu Yanzhuo didn't mention Wu Song was not because Wu Song couldn't do it, but because they hadn't fought and didn't dare to jump to conclusions. Previously, Hu Yanzhuo was an official in the court, and Wu Song was a coward, and the two did not intersect, and they didn't know each other at all.
And Yang Zhizhi and Lu Tizhi were both officials in the same dynasty, so they have some understanding. Although I haven't fought before, I don't know the depth of the martial arts of the two, but there is a lot of hearsay, and there is some respect for each other.
People who are officials in the same dynasty will only respect their colleagues or leaders, and it is impossible to respect the heroes of the rivers and lakes, which is the deep-seated reason why Hu Yanzhuo did not mention Wu Song's martial arts performance.
After Liang Shanbo reinforcements arrived, Lin Chong came out of the horse and confronted Hu Yanzhuo, the two fought to more than fifty rounds and still did not win, Lin Chong turned back to the horse and left, Hu Yanzhuo knew that Lin Chong was strong in martial arts and did not pursue. It can be seen that Hu Yanzhuo is also self-aware, and he is not a person who can only brag in front of the leader as many Water Margin fans say.
Whether it is Lin Chong, Luda or Yang Zhi, their time in the court is not short, but this Wu Song not only has the lowest official position but also the shortest time as an official, and it is reasonable for Hu Yanzhuo to ignore it.
So if Wu Song really fights Hu Yanzhuo, who is stronger in martial arts?
First of all, we need to know why Shi Nai'an didn't write about the battle between the two? Because Wu Song is not proficient in horse warfare, and Hu Yanzhuo is inconvenient for foot combat, let Wu Song fight against Hu Yanzhuo's horse battle, Shi Gong felt that it was not appropriate, so he simply didn't write it.
So if the two of them are arranged to fight on foot, will Wu Song definitely be able to win Hu Yanzhuo?
Not necessarily, because Hu Yanzhuo has the aura of a famous general, and he is also one of Shi Gong's favorite generals, all the generals who can be loved by the author generally do not lose heads-up, which is why the Shu Han Five Tigers in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have never failed in heads-up.
And Wu Song is also a hero who is deeply loved by Shi Gong, as far as the heads-up level is concerned, how can the author bear to let Wu Song lose? Even if Lin Chong and Lu Junyi played against Wu Song, they could only force a draw. Without him, the protagonist's aura is too dazzling!
In the same way, Wu Song is also unable to win Hu Yanzhuo, and the aura of the famous general is also a key factor that the author needs to consider.
So the question is, since Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo are both the author's heart, why not arrange for the two to fight forty or fifty times without winning or losing?
First of all, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhiduo had a forty or fifty tie with Hu Yanzhuo, and let Wu Song repeat it again, which inevitably felt cumbersome.
Second, Shi Gong's positioning of Wu Song is not an ordinary general, but a god descending from heaven, like a demon lord in the sky, and like Pixiu coming to the seat, with a majestic and dignified appearance. Judging from the "Ten Rounds of Martial Arts", Shi Gong has signs of deliberately creating a god Wu Song, just like Luo Guanzhong who deliberately created a god Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.
Wu Song corresponds to Guan Yu and Zhao Yun in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the two books have quite similarities in creative concepts. Chapters such as Guan Yu's "Thousands of Miles to Ride Alone" and Wu Song's "Walking Centipede Ridge at Night" have the same effect, and it is self-evident that the two authors pay tribute to each other.
What's more, Wu Song's heads-up opponent generally does not exceed ten rounds, and the strongest flying centipede is only past Shihe, if Wu Song and Hu Yanzhuo are given a heads-up of forty or fifty, it will not affect Hu Yanzhuo's Yan Liang, but it will constitute a blasphemy against Wu Song's god-man positioning. This is the result that Shi Nai'an doesn't want to see, so he simply won't write it.
To sum up, in terms of martial arts, Wu Song, who has the protagonist Guan Huan, and Hu Yanzhuo, who has the demeanor of a famous general, are both a level of problem, and there is no question of who is strong and who is weak between them, even if Lu Junyi Shi Wengong is allowed to play Wu Song Hu Yanzhuo, most of them are draws, and Qin Ming has neither the halo of the protagonist nor a famous general, let alone the author's preferred character, the author is entirely likely to let him lose head-to-head and lose face in front of the enemy.
As for why Hu Yanzhuo didn't praise Wu Song's force, it was because the author took into account Hu Yanzhuo's identity after being a famous general, a master who walked the rivers and lakes killed the tiger with his bare hands, even if he could make Hu Yanzhuo feel powerful, it was unlikely to praise him. As far as Hu Yanzhuo is concerned, after the famous general, he agrees more with the martial arts routines of the traditional class, and can't appreciate Wu Song's alternative way of martial arts.
Of course, what readers should know is that even if Hu Yanzhuo does not approve of Wu Song's martial arts path, it does not mean that Wu Song's force is not good. The master in the folk saying is by no means groundless, the history of China in all dynasties, can find out some folk masters, the Three Kingdoms period Cao Pi was attracted by the folk master Wang Yue's swordsmanship, after worshiping Wang Yue as a master, concentrate on practicing swordsmanship, the legend of Wang Yue's swordsmanship has defeated Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd, which shows the power of these folk masters.
Heroes don't ask about their origins, and martial arts don't ask for it. There is an old Chinese saying: if he is a white cat or a black cat, the one who can get out of bed is a good cat.
Regardless of whether Wu Song's martial arts are green forest means or not, being able to cut those battle-hardened horsemen one by one is a clear proof of high force.
Judging from Wu Song's record, even if he fights on the battlefield, Wu Song has a record of killing the general on the horse, and the efficiency is extremely high, he is not dragging his feet at all, and his quick killing ability is extraordinary.
On the other hand, the horse generals led by the Five Tigers were tied with the enemy for dozens of rounds at every turn, how could the martial arts performance of those people from the professional class have made Wu Songgao take a look?
So what do you think?
