Li Jun, the good man in "Water Margin", is one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, the one with the best ending, and the winner of life. But what is puzzling is that the author Shi Nai'an would make a mistake, that is, to take Li Jun's nickname wrong. What's going on here? If Li Jun is not called ChaojiangLong, what should he be called? If you want to know, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

"Water Margin" is one of the four classical masterpieces in China, but also a modern people like to see an ancient vernacular novel, the book describes the story of the uprising of one hundred and eight good men, profoundly reflects the indomitable spirit of resistance of the ancient lower class people, the most memorable element of "Water Margin" is the nickname of the good men, such as thunderbolt fire Qin Ming shows that his temper is hot, the eagle Li should explain his bravery, the prodigal son Yanqing shows that he was once turbulent and displaced, etc., everyone's nickname can reflect the character or appearance of this person from one aspect. Arguably one of the most outstanding highlights in the book. However, Shi Nai'an, the author of "Water Margin", also missed a nickname, which is Li Jun's Mixed River Dragon, because mixed River Dragon is definitely not an elegant name.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River once broke its banks, and An shi, the king of the Yellow River, took on the heavy responsibility of controlling the flooding of the Yellow River, and in the process of harnessing the Yellow River, he accidentally invented a special large iron rake and named it Mixed River Dragon. Wang Anshi originally thought that this rake could dredge the river channel very well, but it backfired, although the iron rake stirred the river mud in the water, it did not have much effect, on the contrary, it also completely mixed the river water, stirred up the sediment, with the river flowed for a distance, and then sank to the bottom of the river, the result is that the silting at the bottom of the Yellow River is more serious, mixed with the river dragon, this kind of thing, can not really dredge the Yellow River. After this, the Mixed River Dragon was extended to be a useless thing that could only cause trouble and could not stop, in other words, the Mixed River Dragon was something that was outside the golden jade and destroyed in it. Shi Nai'an's nickname for Li Jun, Chaojiang Long, is completely inappropriate, because judging from the information reflected in every place in "Water Margin", this person does have extraordinary things, not idle people. Let's talk about Li Jun's extraordinary things.
Li Jun, the dragon of the Mixed River, is one of the three hegemons of Jieyang, the so-called hegemony, in fact, is the local head snake, doing some unseemly deeds, and also knows many people in black and white. Li Jun was a very scheming person, and his first encounter with Song Jiang was on the ship of Zhang Heng, a water bandit who specialized in robbing merchants who came and went, and the weak and gold-rich Song Jiang naturally became an important target for him. Under the persecution of Zhang Heng, the ship fire, Song Jiang was cornered, which can really be said to be called heaven should not be, and the earth is not spirited. However, at this moment, Li Jun suddenly arrived, interrogated Zhang Heng, and finally rescued Song Jiang from water and fire. But the question is, as a hegemon of Jieyang, Li Jun can't not know Zhang Heng, so why should he interrogate him in one fell swoop? Obviously, he acted in a play with Zhang Heng and deliberately showed it to Song Jiang.
After this, Song Jiang was turned upside down in the black shop of the urging judge Li Li, and it was Li Jun who arrived in time to save Song Jiang's life. The two life-saving graces seem to be inadvertent, but in fact, it is not a chess game that Li Jun has already set up, waiting for Song Jiang to drill into the sleeve. From this point of view, is Li Jun really a useless person? Apparently not. And then we move on.
After the good han of Liangshan recruited An, he accepted the task of recruiting Fang La, resulting in countless deaths and injuries to the good men, and the Liangshan clique suffered an unprecedented blow. After this, Li Jun left Liangshan, and also took away the two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng, and joined with Fei Bao and others to start a business in Siam, and eventually became a generation of state lords. This can also show that Li Jun, the dragon of the Mixed River, may have been ready to withdraw from Liangshan, and found a special retreat for himself, not only secretly contacting the original salt owl team, but also expanding in the process of conquest, gathering a lot of like-minded people, so that he could rely on his own strength to go away and be qualified to become the lord of Siam.
It is not difficult to see that when Mr. Shi Nai'an wrote "Water Margin", he did spend a lot of brains, such as the timely rain song jiang, that is, he is good at throwing money, just like the representative of spring rain, and Li Kui's black whirlwind is a kind of artillery of the Song Dynasty, indicating that he is a temper like an artillery. It can be seen that when Shi Nai'an conceived the character of Li Jun, he may have been negligent or imprecise, and finally took his nickname wrong. But the white jade is slightly flawed, which still can't change the fact that "Water Margin" is a great work.
Speaking of this, we should also say that reading history is to learn the successes and failures of the characters in history, not to watch the hilarity, nor to deliberately find fault. Only by learning from the survival and struggle experience of the ancients and applying it correctly to our lives is the true meaning of our reading history.
