Everyone will make mistakes, mistakes are not terrible, it is good to correct them, but some mistakes, as long as they are made once, may have a fatal impact on a person's life, such as The leopard head Lin Chong in the Water Margin, he is strong in martial arts, or the head of the Eight Hundred Thousand Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty, but at the critical moment, he did three things wrong, which made him be trampled under the feet of people all his life, and he was very depressed in life.
1. Divorce
Most of the women in the Water Margin have a bad image, either Sun Erniang and Gu Dajie, this kind of fierce, strong female worm, mother night fork, or Pan Qiaoyun, Pan Jinlian, Yan PoXi, this kind of watery Yanghua people, but in Lin Chong's wife Lin Niangzi, gentle and virtuous, but also very beautiful, is a rare good wife. Unfortunately, Lin Chong was a martial artist, but he did not take good care of her and failed her.
On the way to the temple to make a wish, Lady Lin and her maid met Gao Yanei, the son of Gao Qi. Gao Yanei took a fancy to Lin Niangzi and went up to flirt with Lin Niangzi, because it was in broad daylight, and was also resisted by Lin Niangzi, Gao Yanei did not dare to be arrogant and did not succeed. Gao Yanei was unwilling to give up on this, and together with Lin Chong's friend Lu Qian, he tricked Lin Niangzi into the restaurant and prepared to insult Lin Niangzi, fortunately Lin Chong arrived in time and did not let Gao Yunei succeed. After five times of failure, Takahata became ill. The fault lies in Gao Yunei, but Gao Li is a despicable and shameless person, he feels that the fault lies in Lin Chong, for the sake of his son Gao Yanei, he began to make a game, wanting to kill Lin Chong.
Gao Li designed lin chong to mistakenly break into the White Tiger Hall with a knife, and then on the grounds that Lin Chong wanted to assassinate himself, let the government arrest Lin Chong, and also planned to put Lin Chong to death. The Kaifeng governor Yin mediated from it, and only sentenced a lin to rush to Cangzhou. Lin Chong became a criminal, did not know when he would be able to return from this trip, he was ready to retire Lin Niangzi, so that Lin Niangzi could remarry in the future and not delay his wife. Lin Niangzi did not want to divorce, and Lin Chong's elder brother-in-law, Zhang Jiaotou, also promised Lin Chong that he would take good care of his daughter, but Lin Chong insisted on retiring Lin Niangzi.
Lin Niangzi is a fierce woman, and after Lin Chong left, in the face of Gao Yunei's entanglement, she chose to commit suicide to maintain her innocence. After Lin Niangzi committed suicide, Lin Chong lived his whole life in pain and regret. If he had chosen to resist and not divorce his wife, he might have ended up much better.
Second, fire and Wang Lun
After Lin Chong was forced by Gao Qi and had nowhere to go, he killed Gao Qian's confidants Lu Qian and Fu'an, and went up to Liangshan on a snowy night. After arriving at Liangshan, because Lin Chong offended the lieutenant Gao Li, he was a criminal of the imperial court. Wang Lun, the leader of Liangshan, was afraid that Lin Chong would invite the imperial court to encircle and suppress him, and refused to take Lin Chong in, so he tried everything to make Lin Chong difficult and wanted Lin Chong to leave Liangshan. The days under the fence were not comfortable, but Lin Chong had nowhere to go, he endured humiliation and insisted on staying in Liangshan. Even though Wang Lun was very reluctant, he finally took Lin Chong in.
Soon after, Chao Gai and Wu Yong were also forced to go to Liangshan after being hunted down by the imperial court for robbing Liang Zhongshu's birthday to Cai Jing. Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Liu Tang were all good men in the jianghu, and Wang Lun and his subordinates Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui were little minions compared to them. Wang Lun was afraid that Chao Gai would occupy the magpie's nest, so he refused to take in Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Liu Tang.
Wang Lun's behavior angered Lin Chong, who killed Wang Lun and supported Chao Gai as the leader of Liangshan. Wang Lun was at fault, but sin did not lead to death. At the same time, Wang Lun is the leader of Liangshan and the eldest brother of Lin Chong, and several people in Chao Gai can kill Wang Lun, but Lin Chong should not kill Wang Lun, Lin Chong killed him, just like Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo, which was very immoral, so that Lin Chong was stained with the "killing lord" and affected Lin Chong's reputation in the jianghu.
Third, support Song Jiang as the leader
After Wang Lun's death, Chao Gai became the leader of Liangshan, but after Song Jiang went to Liangshan, he and Chao Gai competed for the position of leader. Song Jiang's scheming skills and the prestige of the rivers and lakes are above Chao Gai, and in the process of Chao Gai's struggle with him, he is gradually in the ascendant and is vacated by Song Jiang. Chao Gai was not willing to concede defeat, so he led his troops to attack Zengtou City in order to establish meritorious service, enhance his prestige in Liangshan, and confront Song Jiang.
Chao Gai's lack of preparation and dedication led to his fight with Zengtou City, and he was caught in Zengtou City's plan, and in the confusion, he was shot by the enemy hiding in the shadows. Before Chao Gai died, he still wanted to fight with Song Jiang again, and he left a last word: "Brother Xian, take care, if anyone catches and shoots me, teach him to be the Lord of Liangshan!" Chao Gai wanted to prevent Song Jiang from succeeding him as the leader of Liangshan.
Chao Gai could not fight Song Jiang before he died, and he was not Song Jiang's opponent after his death. After his death, Lin Chong and others supported Song Jiang as the leader of Liangshan. No one could stop Song Jiang from being the leader of Liangshan, but Lin Chong actually made a big mistake by supporting Song Jiang as the leader of Liangshan. Gao Li killed Lin Chong and killed Lin Niangzi, which made Lin Chong hate him. Lin Chong did not want to kill Gao Li at any time to avenge his wife, but Song Jiang was a staunch recruiter, and he would not let Lin Chong kill Gao Li in order to recruit an, which made Lin Chong have a vendetta and was trampled by Gao Li all his life.
