The 108th Liangshan Hundred and Eight Generals gathered a crowd to revolt and marched towards the bright road of the imperial court Zhao'an, but this road ended dismally, most of the horses were killed in the battle, and only a few escaped. Although it seems bright at first, the ending is full of sadness and tragedy.
After Song Jiang was killed in the poisonous scheme of the traitorous ministers, Wu Yong, as Liangshan's right-hand man, met Song Jiang in a dream. Song Jiang told him that he was dead and resting in a few graves, causing Wu Yong to hurry there.
The uprising in Liangshan had actually failed, and the planning of Gao Yu and other traitors led to the death of many heroes, and leaders such as Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were also poisoned and died. The heroes of Liangshan were buried in the loess, and Song Jiang, who followed, had already passed away, leaving only Wu Yong and Hua Rong, who had nothing to sustenance, and finally chose to hang themselves in front of Song Jiang's tomb.
It is said that at the end of one's life, one looks back on one's life. Wu Yong watched his experience of following the uprising of the people in Liangshan and recruiting again, and huge remorse emerged before he died. Because at this moment, Wu Yong realized that it was actually he who controlled the fate of Liangshan and pushed the uprising to its tragic end.
Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals have their own rankings, and although Wu Yong, "Zhiduoxing", is not strong in force, he ranks third with his outstanding resourcefulness. Wu Yong, known as "Zhiduoxing" for his sagher mind, was adept at using wit and strategy to command the people of Liangshan to victory in many battles, showing excellent tactical vision and courage.
Wu Yong, as Liangshan's military advisor, not only used strategies on the battlefield, but also comprehensively planned the development direction of Liangshan. In the whole story, although Wu Yong's position is Song Jiang's military advisor, he is actually a key figure in controlling the direction of the entire Liangshan. His strategy not only played a role at the tactical level, but also involved the decision-making of Yangsan's political direction and talent appointment.
Liangshan has gone through three leaders, but in fact, Wu Yong is the real "boss" of Liangshan. His influence in the entire storyline is very large, and by guiding the direction of Liangshan, he promoted it from the Wang Lun period to the new situation led by Song Jiang. Wu's resourcefulness and decisiveness made him play a crucial role in the entire Liangshan uprising.
However, Wu Yong also made major mistakes in the overall strategic planning. Among the many heroes of Liangshan, there were some heroes who opposed accepting Zhao'an, believing that defecting to the imperial court was not a good way out. Wu Yong did not steer Liangshan in a more active political direction, resulting in Liangshan's strategic actions being limited to resisting the official army and preserving his life, rather than achieving more far-reaching political goals.
After Liangshan defected to the imperial court, he was not valued by the imperial court, and was even treated coldly and harassed. Song Jiang had no choice but to lead the heroes of Liangshan to go out to find a way, relying on bloody means to win the attention of the imperial court for himself. This is contrary to the "righteousness" that the people of Liangshan have always adhered to, and the entire uprising is going to perish.
Wu Yong also behaved too submissively in dealing with the issue of Zhao'an, did not raise any objections, and followed Song Jiang with the flow. Although he had some victories in later battles, the direction of the entire Liangshan was irreversible, eventually leading to its demise.
Throughout the story, Wu Yong is a man of righteousness and wealth, with excellent wisdom and strategy. He rescued Song Jiang from the depths of the crisis, but failed to lead a more positive direction in the political development of Liangshan. Wu Yong eventually committed suicide in reflection, feeling deep regret for his blind obedience and lack of independent thinking.
Although the ending of the Liangshan Uprising was not ideal, the image of Wu Yong in the story still left a deep impression. His resourcefulness and courage, as well as his contribution to the people of Yangsan, made him a highly respected character. Liangshan's failure can be seen as the ruthlessness of history, but Wu Yong's image makes people feel admired and thought. His story tells us that on the road of life, we need not only courage and wisdom, but also independent thinking and decisive decision-making to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
