"Water Margin", a masterpiece of classical Chinese literature, created many heroic and loyal people with one hundred orders and eight generals, created lifelike characters, and left a deep impression on future readers. Some experts and scholars have conducted a detailed study of the book, believing that its structure is extremely ingenious, using a unique linear structure pattern, and each character's story can not only be written independently, but also delicately connect each character through an invisible line.
Therefore, there is a saying that "Wu (Song) ten times, Song (Jiang) ten times", each article is fascinating, and each time touches people's hearts. Among these popular chapters and familiar characters, is there a peerless master?Today, we are going to comment on a peerless master in "Water Margin" and seven other first-class masters!
The peerless hero Lu Junyi
Lu Junyi, the leader of Liangshan Zhongyi Hall, was originally a wealthy merchant in the famous mansion of Hebei, and enjoyed a good reputation on the rivers and lakes, known as the "Three Uniques of Hebei", nicknamed "Jade Qilin".
Song Jiang has long admired Lu Junyi. At that time, he may have pondered in his heart that if he could invite Lu Junyi to the mountain, firstly, to attract more heroes and heroes through his prestige and influence, and secondly, Lu Yuanwai's identity would become the "golden signboard" of Liangshan. In addition, Lu Junyi himself is strong in martial arts, his eyes are bright, and he is eight feet tall, like a demon god descending from the sky.
However, it is really not easy to deceive such a wealthy and outstanding martial artist to go up the mountain. Zhiduoxing Wu used to plan a plan, maybe not so open-minded, but for extraordinary people, doing extraordinary things, as long as Lu Junyi can be allowed to join the gang, everything else can be ignored.
With Li Kui pretending to be a fortune teller and a mute Taoist boy respectively, using fortune telling as a cover, they skillfully blended into Lu Junyi's mansion. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wu Yong took out the pen and ink prepared in advance and wrote a Tibetan poem on the wall of Lufu: "A flat boat in the reed bushes, Junjie and Russia swim from here."
If the righteous can know this, they can flee without worry. This mysterious poem completely changed Lu Junyi's fate, and the first word of each sentence was connected to read: "Lu Junyi is reversed!."So, the wealthy Lu Yuanwai fled hastily, and the next plot was carried out according to Wu Yong's pre-designed strategy - forced to go up the mountain, house arrest for two months, reputation damage, framed by servants, thrown into prison, rescued by righteous soldiers, and joined the gang, everything seemed to be fate, pushing Lu Junyi to become the second leader of Liangshan.
With Song Jiang leading Liangshan, Lu Junyi and his brothers fought in the north and south, especially in the battle of Tong Guan, Lu Junyi was brave and fearless, rushed into the enemy formation, single-handedly challenged the generals, and finally captured Tong Guan and captured Yumei. When conquest of Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La, and other three major Song Dynasty identified as "confidants" of the rebel army, Lu Junyi went through hundreds of battles, large and small, and his opponents such as Bian Xiang, Du Bai, Fang Han, Li Tianyan, Si Xingfang, etc., were all captured or killed. It's a pity that this hero was unfortunately framed by the ministers Gao Yu and Yang Jian, and the poisonous wine cut off the course of his legendary life.
Heroic martyrs, Liangshan Bo heroic
The heroic and resolute Wu Song is a prominent hero in "Water Margin", and his image is deeply imprinted in this classical masterpiece. After his brother was killed, Wu Song was filled with righteous indignation, resolutely killed his sister-in-law, splashed blood on Mandarin Duck Tower, and finally ended up in Erlong Mountain. After encountering the help of Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, he made many like-minded heroes, integrated into the mighty righteousness of Liang Shanbo, and finally became the leader of the rebel army and sat on the fourteenth position.
Like Lu Junyi, Wu Song also showed outstanding military talent during his adventures in Liangshanbo. After recruiting An, he actively participated in the campaign against the enemy in all directions, and became a rare fierce general in Liangshanbo. He stood out with his strong combat effectiveness in the battles with strong enemies such as Yelu Dezhong of Liao, Shen An in Tianhu's army, and Fang Maung in Fangla's army.
However, in the battle against Fang La, Liang Shanbo broke into the city of Hangzhou, but Wu Song was unfortunately plotted by Bao Daoyi, a young general under Fang La, and lost an arm. This catastrophe may have been arranged by fate, because it was this setback that allowed Wu Song to leave the imperial court as soon as possible, choose to become a monk, and get rid of possible imperial court dangers.
Lu Zhishen, another good man in Liangshanbo, has a completely different experience with Wu Song. He was originally a low-level ** in the imperial court, but he was forced to shave his hair and become a monk because of punching bullies. The legendary story of Lu Zhishen is widely sung, not only the heroic deeds of the town of Guanxi, but also the fascinating fragments such as uprooting the weeping willows, making trouble in Wutai Mountain, and burning the clay pot temple.
Like Wu Song, Lu Zhishen was associated with Liangshanbo in Erlong Mountain, and after the southern expedition to conquer Fang La, he also chose not to accept the ordination path of the imperial court. In Hangzhou Liuhe Temple, he shaved his hair and became a monk, and finally after hearing the news of Song Jiang's death, he sat quietly and became **, with "listening to the tide and rounding, seeing the letter and silence" as the final chapter.
These two heroes, one chose to escape the world because of a catastrophe, and the other finally achieved a martial arts legend because of his honest refusal to hold an official position in the imperial court. Their stories are intertwined in "Water Margin", forming a vivid chapter in this epic masterpiece.
The blood of loyalty, the brave general
After the Yang family, the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi is destined to have a legendary life. He had a rough life due to a momentary mistake, but with his heroic will, he finally became the seventeenth general of Liangshanbo. Yang Zhi showed excellent military strategy and brave combat effectiveness in the process of conquest, and became an admirable tiger general in Liangshan. However, he eventually died in the Northern and Southern Wars, and was unable to fight alongside his brother.
In Liangshanbo, another heroic general is Guan Sheng. He is the martial saint Guan Yu, majestic, loyal and courageous. Guan Sheng was once appointed as the commander of the army during the attack on Beijing, and fought alone against Lin Chong, Qin Ming and other fierce generals, and finally joined Liangshanbo. However, he died young on the way to Fangla, and was unable to witness the battles of Liangshan.
Another Liangshan Tiger will be Xiao Li Guanghuarong, who is good at riding and archery, and he joined Liangshanbo because of his righteous deeds. Hua Rong's martial arts are strong, and he and his brothers are fighting in all directions. However, after dreaming that his brother was buried in Tateerwa, he went to look for his brother and finally chose to hang himself.
In the end, the double whip Hu Yanzhuo in Liangshanbo was after the famous iron whip king Hu Yanzan. With the double-water mill eight-edged steel whip as the **, he defeated his opponent in a duel with the Golden Vulture and showed an amazing force value. However, he died heroically in the battle against Phunla.
After these famous generals, they showed their courage and loyalty to Liangshanbo, although they failed to go to the south and the north together, but left immortal heroic legends in the pages of history.
Megatron's hero Leopard Head Lin Chong
Lin Chong, the head of the leopard, was the head of the imperial court in the past, full of justice and courage. originally had an official position and a virtuous wife, but his fate was changed by the non-divided love of Gao Ya, the son of Gao Yu. Relying on his power, Gao Yanei designed Lin Chong to enter the White Tiger Festival Hall by mistake, which eventually led to his conviction and exile to Liangshan.
In the early days of Liangshanbo, Lin Chong showed no mercy to Wang Lun, the leader of the improper behavior, and resolutely beheaded him, advocating Chao Gai as the leader. With Song Jiang at the helm, Lin Chong sat on the sixth position of Zhongyi Hall. Despite his heroic performance in the battle against Fangla, he resolutely refused to be rewarded by the imperial court, and finally died of illness in the Liuhe Temple in Hangzhou, just like Lu Zhishen.
