In the "Water Margin" we see, three of the characters who appeared in the first seventy times mysteriously disappeared, they are Wang Jin, the head of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, Luan Tingyu, the iron rod teacher of Zhujiazhuang, and Fei Tianhu, the lord of The Shaozhuang of Hujiazhuang.
"Water Margin" ranks among the four famous works, should be like gold, will not waste so much ink on three short-lived cutscene characters, in the novel writing, this situation is called "digging a pit".
Shi Nai'an is a famous giant, and he will never do such a thing as digging a hole and not filling it, so we have such a guess: the three mysterious disappearing characters were supposed to appear, but for some reason, they were deliberately erased.
The popular version of "Water Margin" takes the seventyth time as the watershed, and the performance of Liangshan's one hundred singles and eight generals is judged to be like two people: song Jiang, who is titled with anti-poetry to stain the Xunyang River estuary and ridicule Huang Chao's husband, has become a pug with a wagging tail and begging for mercy, and the remaining one hundred and seven good men have also become marionettes, especially the performance of Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others, which has lost their distinct personality - this is not in line with historical facts, but also overturns the persona carefully created for them by Shi Nai'an in the first seventy times.
In recent years, many famous people have suspected that the fifty times after "Water Margin" are not the original works of Mr. Shi Nai'an, but have been maliciously tampered with by the imperial literati. Those who hold this view have also found "Guben Water Margin" as ironclad evidence: the last fifty times of "Guben Water Margin", the plot is tortuous, and the characters have distinct personalities. The plot structure before and after is coherent, the layout echoes before and after, without the former, the latter cannot be established, without the latter, it is difficult to understand and accurately understand many of the plot arrangements in the first seventy times. In terms of artistic description and language expression, the last fifty times not only reproduce the advantages of the first seventy times, but also reproduce some of the weaknesses that existed in the front.
In the last fifty times of "Guben Water Margin", those who should not have disappeared but mysteriously disappeared reappeared, among which the more eye-catching performance was Zhujiazhuang's iron rod teacher Luan Tingyu: this person was the brother of the sick lieutenant Chi Sun Li, whose martial arts were not inferior to the five tiger generals of the Liangshan Horse Army, but when Zhujiazhuang fell, he only said that he was killed by someone, but he did not say which good man killed him, which was to lay the groundwork for Luan Tingyu's later appearance.
Luan Tingyu appeared in the seventy-fifth episode of "Gao Chong Han was shot and killed, Luan Tingyu was summoned to Xingbing": "When Luan Tingyu was song Gongming three times Zhu Jiazhuang, he saw that the general trend had gone, and the defeat of Zhu Shi was imminent, so he single-handedly killed from the rebel army, saved his life, and then transferred to Gao Li's door, Luan Tingyu was extremely willing to pander, Gao Li was happy, did not promote, and soon turned to the outside world, became a Laizhou soldier and horse capital. ”
Luan Tingyu can not hate the good man of Liangshan, but he cannot but hate chi Sunli, the sick lieutenant of the "master and disciple": I think that when you came to Zhujiazhuang to say that you wanted to help, I was so happy that I danced with joy, and I thought that you cared about the love and righteousness of the master and pulled out the sword to help, but I did not expect that you stabbed me in the back of the heart - if you were born a thousand years later, wouldn't you want to say crosstalk? You should call Sun Yunli!
Luan Tingyu's hatred for Sun Li was only a grudge against Shimen, and Fei Tianhu Hucheng had a vendetta against Liangshan for destroying the door: "Because the sister Yizhangqing was captured, she reconciled with Song Jiang and arrested Zhu Biao. Originally wanted to change the sister, but unexpectedly met Li Kui, cut Zhu Biao, did not ask for reasons, killed everyone, and later the whole family was killed. ”
The two enemies of Liangshan both defected to the imperial court and led nine thousand men and horses to kill Liangshan -- thus it can be seen that "Liangshan has 100,000 minions" is unreliable: the so-called Liangshan is a small lonely mountain surrounded by water, and if there are really 100,000 people, they will have to stand like horses when they sleep, even if they only eat leaves, they will not last for ten and a half days.
Luan Tingyu took nine thousand soldiers and horses to kill Ben Liangshan, and the flying tiger Hu Cheng held the Kaishan Axe as the vanguard, and defeated the iron flute Xian Ma Lin, Hua Xiang Hu Gong Wang, and the Middle Arrow Tiger Ding Desun in one go, and finally the featherless arrow Zhang Qing sneaked in, and a stone hit the Hu Cheng Face Gate, which saved some face for Liangshan.
After the defeat, it was the turn of the main general Luan Tingyu to get off the horse: the red-haired ghost Liu Tang had just fought for more than twenty rounds, and was beaten down by Luan Tingyu and captured alive; the sick lieutenant Chi Sun Li was weak and timid, and after twenty or thirty years, he returned to his horse and left; Shan Tingjue and Wei Dingguo fought one, and finally fled into the wilderness.
After that, The Jumping Tiger Chen Da, the Ugly County Ma Xuanzan, and the Well Wood Hao Siwen appeared one after another, all of which were defeated by Luan Tingyu one by one, Luan Tingyu defeated the seven generals of Liangshan in a row, which was the turn of the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi to appear eighth, and even few rounds, the vanguard Suo Chao picked up a large axe to fight side by side with Yang Zhi, did not expect Yang Zhi to talk about martial arts, dragged the spear and turned around, leaving only Suo Chao there "rat tail juice".
Of course, Suo Chao couldn't beat Luan Tingyu: "The tip of Luan Tingyu's gun stabbed like a raindrop, killing Suo Chao's strength was weak, his eyes were dizzy, and his axe method was panicked." Luan Tingyu shouted loudly, only a gun, knocked Suo Chao off the horse's back, and twenty scratching hookers were gathered in the formation, and they were immediately captured alive. ”
Liang Shanjiu will be out of the horse, only Yang Zhi will retreat completely, "Li Kui endured a stomach full of anger, and only touched two plate axes. ”
It can make Li Kui swallow his breath, which shows how fierce Luan Tingyu is in his fight.
In the ensuing fight, Zhen Sanshan Huangxin was quickly defeated, and Li Kui and Guan Sheng were shot successively. Such a rough calculation, in addition to the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, who refused to reduce his self-worth, there were already eleven good men of Liangshan folded under Luan Tingyu's hands, which made us have to pinch a cold sweat for Song Jiang: Liangshan one hundred single eight generals, who else can withstand Luan Tingyu's vengeful anger?
Looking further down and thinking about it, we know that this worry is completely superfluous: even if we fight alone by force, Liangshan is not invincible to Luan Tingyu - leopard head Lin Chong, flower monk Lu Zhishen, and walker Wu Song have not yet shot it!
Leopard head Lin Chong refused to shoot, probably because everyone was a peer, and Lu Zhishen's refusal to take action may be because he did not approve of Liangshan attacking Zhujiazhuang - at that time, he and Yang Zhiwusong did not go to Liangshan, it can be said that luan Tingyu had no grudge in recent days, and when he was under the jurisdiction of The Weizhou Terracotta Army, he caught thieves and caught thieves, and also cooperated with township brave militia groups like Zhujiazhuang.
Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen were reluctant to wade in muddy waters, but Wu Song, who saw the hunter's heart, was very itchy: "Dancing with two swords in one hand, a ball of wind swept in front of Luan Ting's jade horse, and between words, the double ring knives had already been cut in, and the stars were racing, killing people in horror." Luan Tingyu understood in his belly that the person who came was to fight the tiger Wusong, did not dare to be sloppy, and started to fight with a gun. Wu Song fought with divine power, and the two swords flew up and down, turning into a piece of white light. Luan Tingyu has a long gun, protecting himself and protecting his horses, making it difficult for wind and rain to invade, which is really a good fight... Wu Song had the heart to sacrifice some skills today, wanted to capture Luan Tingyusheng alive, and did not want Li Kui to break into the general, Wu Song did not want to fight again, so he jumped out of the circle and returned to the main front. ”
In the above description, the reader ZhuJun must have seen the full "Water Margin Fan", and at the same time, he could also see that with his life, Wu Song was likely to take Luan Tingyu, while Li Kui was worthless in Luan Tingyu's eyes: "Wu! And live, I don't want to kill such pickled things, Hugh came to send to death! ”
Luan Tingyu was reluctant to do anything with the pickled Li Kui, but just knocked him down with an arrow from a distance--Li Kui was a big loss this time.
In front of Luan Tingyu's bows and arrows and spears, Li Kui could not even catch a move, in fact, Luan Tingyu really did not care to shoot at him, according to the description of the "Guben Water Margin", among the one hundred single and eight generals in Liangshan, those who could win Luan Tingyu in a single fight with their martial strength could be counted on a slap.
After the defeat of Luan Tingyu's army, the official was reinstated to his post (Laizhou Terracotta Warriors and Horses Capital), together with Qian Ji, the zhengzhou Soldier and Horse Capital Supervisor, and others, and returned as a pioneer general. After Luan Tingyu defeated the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, the leopard head Lin Chong and the jade qilin Lu Junyi finally struck.
Qian Ji, the Zhengzhou Terracotta Warrior and Horse Governor of the same rank as Luan Tingyu, preemptively challenged, Lin Chongyuan opened his eyes and tilted the tiger's whiskers like a giant thunderous force like a galloping horse: "Two horses intersect, and two spears are raised at the same time." After fifteen or six rounds of battle, Lin Chong sold a flaw, released Qian Ji a spear to stab, held the snake spear in place, and the two horses staggered half of the horse's head, and then reached out and dragged it, grabbed it alive on the horse's back, and turned the horse back to the main line."
Luan Tingyu personally went out on the horse, and Lu Junyi raised his gun to meet him: "After the two great battles reached more than fifty years, Lu Junyi released his life skills, made a portal, let Luan Tingyu stab with one shot, only flicked the gun shaft, pulled it away, quickly picked up the golden gun and stabbed it with his hand, Luan Tingyu hurriedly dodged, the tip of the gun skimmed over the top, wearing a crown and breaking his hair, and picking a helmet off the dust." Luan Tingyu was terrified, and even if he dared to fight again, he rushed to defeat the horse and returned to the main front. ”
Luan Tingyu finally died under the siege of Guan Sheng and others, Lu Junyi did not participate, Lin Chong did not join in the fun, and Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, before Luan Tingyu made a comeback, had both left Liangshan - under the pretext of meeting Elder Zhizhen, never to return.
Luan Tingyu's deeds in the "Ancient Book water margin" are finished, in the author's opinion, not counting the mage Gongsun Sheng and the gunner Ling Zhen, among the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, that is, the leopard head Lin Chong, the flower monk Lu Zhishen, and the walker Wu Song can fight with Luan Tingyu, or there is a slight advantage, and the only one who can really capture Luan Tingyu is Yu Qilin Lu Junyi, but I don't know if the readers think so?
