Looking closely at the administrative divisions of the Northern Song Dynasty, we will find that Liangshan was exactly the problem of the imperial court's elbow: at that time, the capital of the Song Dynasty was in Kaifeng Bieliang, which is today's Kaifeng City, Henan Province, Liangshan was not a prefecture in the Song Dynasty, and its surroundings were the four counties of Yunzhou Xucheng, Dong'a, Zhongdu, and Shouzhang County. ”
If Cheng bites Jin sheng in the Song Dynasty, or If Li Kui is a thief in the Tang Dynasty, these two people have a chance to become rivals. Of course, in the main history, Cheng Biting Jin used a horse mallet without using the Bagua Xuanhua Axe, and Li Kui did have his own person, but whether he used a double-plate axe is not recorded.
In the novel "Water Margin", including Li Kui, there are at least five fierce generals with axes, they are sorted according to how martial arts, who can survive in front of Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, will be a very interesting topic, we are idle today, you can relax and talk.
Whether it is Zhengshi or Yanyi, Li Kui is not qualified to fight with Cheng Biting Jin: martial arts, wisdom, status, Cheng Biting Jin can shake off Li Kui for 18,000 miles, if the jailer Li Kui encounters Cheng Biting Jin, who sells smuggled salt, he can be lifted up and pinched to death long ago.
Whether in the main history or the interpretation, the "axe generals" seem to have some blessings and some dullness, and the smartest of them may be Cheng Biting Jin - in the novel, he has a son also called Iron Bull, Cheng Tie Niu and much smarter than Li Tie Niu.
Of course, Cheng Yaojin did not care to fight with Li Kui, and the Liangshan army could not win the Battle of Wagang Army, the five tigers on both sides would duel, and the Wagang Army would send a Qin Qiong.
Li Kui's martial arts ranked in the top thirty in Liangshan, and he could only rank at the bottom in the "Five Axe Generals" of the Water Margin, and the remaining four, the weakest of which may also have the strength of the Five Tiger Generals of the Liangshan Horse Army, they killed Li Kui as easily as cutting melons and cutting vegetables.
Readers who are familiar with Water Margin know that Li Kui's martial arts are wild roads, and his double-plate axe is good at killing small soldiers and people and cutting horses' feet, and when he encounters a first-class master, he can only cry and run away.
The same good man of Liangshan also uses an axe, but the axe of the black whirlwind Li Kui is very different from the axe of the vanguard Suo Chao, and the martial arts are also very different - if Li Kui and Suo Chao are single-handed, they may not even be able to support three moves.
The martial arts of the vanguard Suo Chao should be similar to that of the leopard head Lin Chong: Lin Chong and Yang Zhi are tied, and Yang Zhi and Suo Chao are tied.
Among the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, the vanguard Suo Chao was not too tall, and should be a strong man with a fat pier: "More than seven feet in stature, with a round face and large ears, a wide lip and a square mouth, a tribe of beards on the side of the cheeks, a majestic style, a dignified appearance, a golden dipping axe in his hand, and a snow-white horse that can be used to fighting." ”
Unlike when Lin Chong robbed Yang Zhi, both sides used simple knives, Suo Chao and Yang Zhi both used hand-to-hand weapons and rode on the Shenjun warhorse of Li Cheng and Liang Zhongshu, and the two of them fought fiercely with all their strength for fifty rounds, making the general and soldier look stupid: "We have been in the army for many years, and we have also been subjected to several conquests, and He once saw such a pair of good men fighting!" ”
The vanguard Suo Chao's martial arts ability crushed Li Kui, but he seemed to be a little worse than two of the other three "axe generals", and he could only fight with Wang Qing's subordinates (can not be written as Mi Sheng, 縻 is binding, 貹 is wealth) to fight a draw: Ji Jiao's face was purple flesh, his eyes were open, he took on a long-handled mountain axe, he cut down Wen Zhongrong, the "Shaking Mountain Force" who surrendered to Liangshan, cut the "Moving Mountain Force" Cui Wei in six or seven rounds, fought with Suo Chao for fifty rounds, and successfully broke through under the siege of the Liangshan army.
The martial arts of Ji Yan were on par with Suo Chao's, and the martial arts of Zhou Ang, the deputy head of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, and Bian Xiang, a famous general in the Tian Hu Army, were similar to those of the Five Tiger Generals of the Liangshan Ma Army.
Speaking of Zhou Ang, he was also the superior of Lin Chong, the head of the leopard, one was the deputy chief instructor of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, the commander of the Right Righteous Guard Army, and the general of the Che Riders, and the other was the 800,000 Forbidden Army Sect Leader without formal ranks, and the status of the two was very different.
Zhou Ang "made a sword to deceive Yuan Da (a fierce general of the State of Qi during the Warring States period, the weapon was Xuanhua Axe), Sai Shi Bing (Yan General, with a hammer, defeated by Yuan Da), and split the Mountain Gold Dipping Axe." ”
Although Zhou Ang was the deputy of qiu Yue, the leader of the 800,000 forbidden army, it seemed that he could still fight than Qiu Yue, and Lu Junyi set up an ambush to wait for work, but he could not keep Zhou Ang: "Lu Junyi raised his spear and galloped straight to Zhou Ang, and Zhou Ang also swung a large axe and sent horses to the enemy." The two generals clashed on the main road in front of the mountain, and the battle was less than twenty times, and there was no victory or defeat. Guan Sheng and Qin Ming in the southeast, Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo in the northwest, many heroes, all four roads arrived. Zhou Ang, Wang Huan did not dare to fight, dragged the gun and axe, and took the road and left. ”
Being able to escape from the siege of the five masters of Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Lin Chong, and Hu Yanzhuo, Zhou Ang's big axe was really not a vegetarian.
The question of who is the first axe general of the Water Margin has always been very controversial: some people say that it is Zhou Ang, some people say that it is Bian Xiang, and some people say that Bian Xiang's weapon is not a big axe at all.
Although Bian Xiang, who was nine feet long and short, had served as a general under Tian Hu, he resolutely refused to be a traitor--Tian Hu's soldiers were in danger of defecting to the Jin Kingdom, and Bian Xiang would rather die than yield, carrying a large axe to fight with the Liangshan army: "The Nine-Striped Dragon History beat the horse and danced with the three-pointed, two-edged eight-ring knife, and directly grabbed Bian Xiang. Bian Xiang also took a big axe to meet him. The two horses intersect and the two instruments are lifted at the same time. Knives and axes run rampant, and horseshoes scramble. Fight to more than thirty times, regardless of victory or defeat. Hua Rong patted his horse gun and stepped forward to help the battle. Bian Xiang fought against the second general, and fought for more than thirty times, regardless of victory or defeat. ”
After surrendering to Song Jiang, Bian Xiang did not know why he would never use an axe again, and after he stabbed Wang Qing's General Feng Tai of Huaixi with a spear, he was set on fire by the Poisonous Flame Ghost King Kou Wei.
After the "Water Margin Five Axe Generals" were finished, the martial arts ranking of these five generals, the reader Zhu Jun must have already had a clear judgment in his mind: Li Kui was the worst, and the other four could easily kill him.
It doesn't matter who the "Water Margin Five Axe Generals" are, the author has always believed that if these five people were born at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, none of them could carry cheng's three-plate axe to bite jin, but I don't know if the readers think so?
