In "Water Margin", the stories of those heroes in the green forest punishing rape and eliminating evil are really exciting, of course, even if they are heroes who go to Liangshan, they may not all be good people, but the author always presents the story from their perspective, and what readers have to do is naturally to experience the plot from their perspective, so just enjoy the pleasure and hatred.
However, the story of "Water Margin" has always been short, yes, the setting of the whole book is a bit too yang and yin, almost 90% of the scenes revolve around men, and most of the women in the book are portrayed as villains, but there is one woman whose light is particularly dazzling.
That person is Hu Sanniang.

It is strange to say, as the most dazzling female general on Liangshan, why did she not marry Song Jiang, who is the lord of Liangshan, but was given by Song Jiang to the ugly and short Wang Ying?
1. Song Jiang and Hu Sanniang
When the plot developed to the forty-sixth time, almost all the rough men in Liangshan were still there, of course, it was not that there was no woman, but whether it was Sun Erniang or Gu Sister-in-law, not to mention how they looked, at least they were all famous, so Song Jiang didn't have to choose.
And the appearance of Hu Sanniang just made up for this vacancy, it seems that from the bright side, Shi Nai'an is to shape Hu Sanniang in the direction of "Mrs. Zhai", after all, the evaluation he gave Hu Sanniang is really not comparable to the second woman.
The book only says: "Yuxue skin, hibiscus appearance, there is a natural standard." The golden armor is brilliant, and the scales are moving, and the silver seeps red and wipes the forehead. The jade hand is slender and the blade is double-wielded. The hero Xuan He, his eyes slip through the autumn waves, and ten thousand kinds of enchanting can be picked. At present, the frost blade is like the wind, and the officers and soldiers must be beheaded. The dust is flying, the robe is sweaty, and the chest and armpits are murderous. The warrior dies the soul, the enemy loses fear, and the female general is peculiar in the middle. Returning victorious, with a faint smile on his cheeks. ”

To sum up, it is necessary to have good looks, to have martial arts, and to have martial arts, she is really a heroine among women, and she is the best choice for the wife of the owner of the village.
Of course, the lord of Liangshan at this time was not Song Jiang at all, but Chao Gai, but judging from the details in the book, Song Jiang already had the intention of replacing Chao Gai, because this Hu Sanniang had just been captured, and he had already been "robbed" by Song Jiang.
You read the description in the book: "Let's say that Song Jiang took back the brigade and went to the entrance of the village to get off the fence." The first sect will be a zhang qing, call twenty old and young minions, four leaders, ride four fast horses, tie a zhang qing's hands, and also ride a horse, 'send me to Liangshan overnight, hand over to my father Song Taigong to take care of, and then talk back. When I return to the cottage, I will have my own destiny. All the leaders only said that Song Jiang wanted this woman, and they were all careful to send it. ”
You see, the brothers all think so, and they all think that Song Jiang wants to marry this woman, but who would have thought that he turned his head and gave this woman to Wang Ying.
Second, pheasant with phoenix
So what kind of goods is Wang Ying?
If Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are heroes who "roar when they see injustice", then Wang Ying is the thief who creates injustice.
When this guy first appeared, Shi Nai'an didn't give him any good reviews, everyone was a hymn, but he was a derogatory poem.
The only thing is: "The camel brown jacket is splendid and mended, and the appearance is grandiose and rough." The strongest beam who is greedy for money and lustful, set fire to kill the king dwarf tiger. ”
In addition to being greedy for money and lustful and ugly, Wang Ying also has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, he is not righteous.
Of course, you just look at the follow-up plot and may think that he is very loyal to Song Jiang, in fact, this guy has fought with Yan Shun before, and Yan Shun is his sworn brother, just because Yan Shun killed Liu Gao's wife, and he wanted to marry that woman, the two of them just slashed at each other, completely ignoring brotherhood, or Song Jiang blocked it, and this matter was over.
At the same time, Song Jiang also owes Wang Ying a favor because of this.

Even so, Song Jiang can give Wang Ying a woman at will, why should he give a beautiful girl like Hu Sanniang to Wang Ying?
It's not because Chao Gai said that people who practice martial arts should not get close to women, but only polish their muscles and bones, after all, Song Jiang is not a person who is keen on practicing martial arts, he is only a third-rate martial artist at best.
The real answer may be simple, and for him, this is a multi-task.
First, he can use this to repay the love he owes Wang Ying.
Second, the brothers thought that he wanted to marry this woman, but he wanted to do the opposite, so that the brothers felt that they were wrong to blame him, and felt a sense of guilt, and then became more loyal to him.
Third, he has long seen through the women in the world, or in other words, he has long been disappointed in women, which can also start from the first woman who made him break the ring.
3. A woman who is worse than Pan Jinlian
Who was the first woman to break Song Jiang's ring?
It seems that there is no mention in the book that Song Jiang and a certain woman gave birth to a son and a half daughter, and the breaking of the ring referred to here is actually a killing ring, and the person the author refers to is Yan Poxi.
It can be said that Yan Poxi is a more hateful woman than Pan Jinlian.

That Pan Jinlian's murder of Wu Dalang was actually based on several premises.
One of the books clearly mentions her life experience, saying: "There is a big family in Qinghe County, there is a maid, whose nickname is Pan Jinlian, who is more than 20 years old and quite colorful. Because the big man wanted to pester him, the envoy just went to sue the master's wife, and refused to obey. The big man hated it in his heart, but he paid some money for the house, and he didn't want a penny from Wuda to marry him for nothing. ”
To put it bluntly, Pan Jinlian used to be a martyr, she was retaliated against by the big family and was given to Wu Dalang, and Wu Dalang bit the swan meat to her mouth again, so she was willing to fall, obviously, Wu Dalang is not innocent.
Second, everything Pan Jinlian did later was carried out at the instigation of Wang Po, and without Wang Po's guidance, she would not have the courage to do those evil things.

Therefore, although Pan Jinlian deserves to die, she is not as hateful as Yan Poxi, because Yan Poxi's every move is based on her own inner thoughts.
Song Jiang treated Yan Po very badly, but after this guy found out Song Jiang's secret letter, he wanted to expose Song Jiang, but in the scuffle, Song Jiang killed Yan Po by mistake, so he had to fall into the grass and embark on the road of no return.
It can be said that Song Jiang has suffered a big loss in women, how could he let himself fall twice in the same place?
It's better to be a favor, give Hu Sanniang to Wang Ying, and buy people's hearts, he is really smart.
