in Chinese characters"one"radical (Kangxi radical 1).
The heroes of Liangshan are a bright light in the dark night, illuminating Gong Yuanping's childhood.
Longyang is in the Daimyo Mansion, 800 miles to Binzhou, Liangshan is a group of heroes and hinterland...The stories in the book are exciting and inspiring, which makes Gong Yuanping, who is still in school, enthusiastic.
Zhu Gui is brave and diligent, Dai Zong is brave and unparalleled, and Wu is resourcefulIt's nice to have friends like that!
It's a pity that time has passed, and Gong Yuanping has grown up. When he picked up the book "Water Margin", his heart was full of sighs - it turned out that these legendary heroes also have a dark side.
The brave and invincible god of war will also have a weakness of cowardice. Even a cunning and skilful military advisor can misjudge the big picture, which can lead to the death of a sibling.
The saddest thing is that it seems to be the most loyal and honest"Black Hurricane"Li Kui is actually a worse person than Song Jiang!
Gong Yuanping read "Water Margin" for the first time when he was a teenager and was impressed by the heroism described in the book. He even fantasized about how good it would be if he could have such a loyal and courageous chivalrous friend. The mountain and forest stories and bloody battle scenes in "Water Margin" are like blazing meteorites that fall on Gong Yuanping's young heart. Gong Yuanping, who was at an innocent age, was deeply moved by the truth and friendship described in "Water Margin", and even longed for such a brave and deep brotherhood.
But when Gong Yuanping grew up and opened this book, which has become a classic, his thoughts and feelings changed 180 degrees. It turns out that the heroes and heroes who are as tall as a mountain in his heart also have dark sides and weaknesses. The powerful god of war also has a cowardly side, and a wise military advisor can also make fatal strategic mistakes.
These deviations from Gong Yuanping's vision of the perfect hero made him regret that all living beings are suffering and human nature is evil. What made Gong Yuanping even more sad was that he found that Li Kui, who seemed to be loyal and honest, was actually a more terrifying and insidious villain than Song Jiang! This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Gong Yuanping's once-beautiful hopes and illusions.
Two. Speaking of Song Jiang, we have to mention his tall and handsome appearance. This Liangshan leader is full of writing"The Condor Heroes"Four words.
But his character is not so flawless. Song Jiang is cautious, weak, and flexible. His dreams blind him to the death of his own people.
Walk for the heavens"'s good name is just a pretense, and the real Song Jiang is shy and cunning.
The lives of the hundred and two bandits were in danger, but Song Jiang led his brothers to surrender to the imperial court rather than fight for the future of Liangshan.
Song Jiang then sent several large armies to attack Fang La. The brothers died heroically one by one, and Song Jiang could only regret that his plan had failed.
* It is getting bigger and bigger, and even a ruthless person like Wu Yong persuaded Song Jiang to stop attacking. Song Jiang shed two lines of crystal tears at this time.
But he shed tears not for his dead brother, but to restrain himself. Only because the sacrifices of the warriors affected his reputation and status.
Song Jiang, a good man in Liangshan, seems to be the best, but in fact he is cautious, soft and flexible. He set up a righteous image for himself to save the people from fire and water, and even to"Walk for the heavens"Pose as. In fact, Song Jiang was very selfish and cunning. In his eyes, the life and death of the people are nothing more than useless pawns to achieve their goals. For the sake of his own ideals, Song Jiang can play with the lives of his subordinates and ignore the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people.
Resisting Jin and saving the country was Song Jiang's original intention, but in order to keep his position, he led 102 thieves to surrender to the imperial court instead of continuing to fight hard for the future of Liangshan. In the war against Fangla, Song Jiang knew that the strength of the two sides was disparity and the situation was unfavorable, but he still sent troops to fight continuously, resulting in the sacrifice of a large number of brothers.
Every time the plan failed, Song Jiang's heart ached not for his dead brother, but for his own failure. Even if the military advisor Wu Yong persuaded him to stop the attack, Song Jiang only shed two lines of sad tears; These tears are not shed for the dead brother, but for the hatred of the failure of their plan.
The gap between such an arrogant leader who uses power for personal gain and the righteous hero in Gong Yuanping's mind is huge.
Three generations of surnames. Wu Yong's situation is even more tragic. This one is called"Wise man"of people are just playing a reckless game.
In the Battle of Shengchenggang, Wu set up an ambush and let the unsuspecting officers and soldiers fall into the net. In the battle of the Daimyo's Mansion, he was invincible with gold-armored infantry and took him by surprise.
This is certainly a wise move, but Wu Yong's intention is also very simple - if you want to break up the enemy, there is no other way but to defect to Liangshan.
After Chao Gai's sacrifice, Wu Yong became Song Jiang's confidential deputy. But at the same time, he also became very cautious, for fear of offending this loving leader.
In the process of attacking Fang La, Wu Yong could have stopped in time, but he resolutely decided to sacrifice the lives of his brothers to fulfill Song Jiang's last wish and become a pacesetter.
It's not a big deal to lose a couple of brothers. "This is Wu Yu's cold words.
Even a wise and skilful military adviser bows his noble head to authority.
The so-called"Wise man"Wu Yong is actually not as honest and kind as he seems. His aim was to break up the enemy's families so that they could only go to Yangshan in the end.
In the Battle of the Lord's Day, Wu Sangui set up an ambush and let the unsuspecting officers and soldiers take the initiative to attack, besiege it, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop. When attacking Daming Palace, he took advantage of the invincible characteristics of the Golden Armor Army to surprise and attack it unprepared. This clever tactic was undoubtedly clever, but its purpose was not just to make the enemy lose ground and eventually be forced to come to Liangshanbo.
By sacrificing Zhao Yun, Wu Yong gradually became Song Jiang's right-hand man. However, he was no longer as generous as before, but became cautious, for fear of touching the time bomb of Song Jiang. When attacking Fangla, Wu Yong knew that he could not win with Liangshan's current strength, but he still decided to carry out Song Jiang's plan, ready to sacrifice the lives of his brothers, and also fulfill Song Jiang's wish. "Losing a couple of brothers is no big deal', such callous words actually came from the mouth of a saint.
It is difficult for a large army division not to bow to authority. This is very different from the sage in Gong Yuanping's mind.
However, the black-faced hero Li Kui is the most respectable person and the one who needs to be slapped harshly.
Speaking of Li Kui, people will have the image of a loyal and honest great man in their minds. But if you read it carefully, you will see that this person is not a combination of internal and external training.
As we all know, Li Kui obeyed Song Jiangyan. But the real reason was that Song Jiang gave him money to gamble.
As long as you can lend him money to gamble, he can call you Daddy. Song Jiang really saw this weakness of Li Kui.
As a result, Li Kui became Song Jiang's golden tongue. As long as Song Jiang speaks, Li Kui is qualified to preach to others. He knew that only by catching Song Jiang would he have money to gamble on.
What loyalty can a person who only recognizes money have to heaven, earth, and parents?
The black-faced Li Kui gives the impression of being old-fashioned and naïve. However, a close reading of this character reveals that he is nothing more than a hypocritical villain, a man who has both sides inside and out.
Li Kui's obedience to Song Jiang is well known. It turned out that the real reason was that Song Jiang gave him silver for gambling.
Li Kui is actually a person who is addicted to gambling. When Song Jiang provided him with gambling funds, Li Kui simply danced with his hands, and Song Jiang was very happy. A gambler, if you can fund his gambling, can even call you a daddy. Song Jiang was well aware of Li Kui's Achilles' heel, and firmly controlled this big man with money.
In this way, Li Kui became Song Jiang's golden microphone. No matter what Song Jiang said, Li Kui vigorously supported it and preached it to others with righteous words. Because Li Kui knew very well that only by praising Song Jiang could he make more money from gambling. How can such a person who only recognizes money on the surface be able to talk about loyalty and true love?
Li Kui seems to be the most honest, but he is not so filial to his mother.
Li Kui took his blind mother to the mountains in order to enjoy her old age in peace. One day, he went to fetch water, only to find his mother killed by a tiger.
Ordinary people will feel sad. But Li Kui was only sad because of the free trip. He was not mourning his mother's death.
How can a person who is not loyal to his mother be loyal to the country!
Li Kui took his blind old mother to live in Liangshan, wanting her to enjoy her old age in peace. But one day, when he went to fetch water, he came back and found that his old mother had been bitten to death by a tiger.
If you are an ordinary person, in the face of such a scene, you will definitely be sad. But Li Kui's reaction was unusually calm, he was just angry because he ran for nothing. Regarding the tragic death of his mother, Li Kui did not have the slightest sadness and pain.
This fully proves that Li Kui is an unfilial son without the slightest filial piety. How can a person who does not even care about his own elderly mother be sincere and loyal to the country? The indifference and ruthlessness behind Li Kui's reaction have shown that he is not as sincere and generous as he seems. Everything Song Jiang said to him was not out of loyalty, but purely for his own interests. Such a disloyal and unfilial person can only be a selfish and self-centered scoundrel.
