"Water Margin", one of the four famous novels, also set off a wave back then, and there were one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan, each of whom had his own characteristics and abilities. This is also the reason why "Water Margin" can become a smash hit and become a classic.
What is embarrassing is that although the heroes on Liangshan have their own abilities, only a few of them have been able to die well, and Wu Song is one of them.
In fact, the reason why Wu Song was able to die well was not because of how strong his ability was, but because he was disheartened and chose to become a monk after breaking his arm in the Battle of Fangla.
Although all the heroes on Liangshan are true temperament, the feelings between brothers are deep. But after Wu Song broke his arm, only one of the former brothers visited him, and they also went to worship Lu Zhishen together. Who is this man who values love and righteousness? Let's take a look.
As we all know, Wu Song's most famous deed is to kill a white tiger with his bare hands on Jinggang Mountain.
There are the heroic deeds of "Wu Song fighting the tiger" in the front, and the bloody deeds of "blood splashed mandarin duck building" in the back. Wu Song met a group of heroes in the process of escaping, and finally went to Liangshan together.
After that, after the heroes of Liangshan were recruited, under the leadership of Songjiang, they fought everywhere for the imperial court.
Among them, during the conquest of the Fangla uprising, most of the heroes of Liangshan lost their lives in this battle. Even Wu Song unfortunately lost his right arm when he played against Fang La, and in the end, he was fortunate to be rescued by Lu Zhishen to save his life.
After that, after a lot of hard fighting, the heroes of Liangshan finally defeated Fang La. It stands to reason that as a member of the heroes of Liangshan, Wu Song should enjoy the fruits of victory, accept the reward of the imperial court, and return to his hometown.
But he resolutely refused, and stayed in Hangzhou on the pretext of taking care of Lin Chong, chose a temple to become a monk, cut off the red dust and kill, and often accompanied the ancient Buddha of the green light.
Why was Wu Song unwilling to accept the reward from the imperial court after breaking his arm? In fact, the author expressed it in many details.
Wu Song is a person who values love and righteousness, and attaches great importance to family affection, but unfortunately he has no father and mother since he was a child, and his only brother was also killed by Pan Jinlian and Ximenqing.
After the rebellion, he called Song Jiang the eldest brother, but after Wu Song lost his right armSong Jiang cried: Wu Song, who lost his arm, is almost like a wasted person.
This made Wu Song's self-esteem suffer a strong blow, and he was also disappointed in Song Jiang in his heart.
In addition, in the Battle of Fangla, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang and other friends who were regarded as brothers by Wu Song were unfortunately sacrificed, and Wu Song was even more disheartened.
Under such circumstances, it is very understandable that Wu Song rejected Song Jiang and chose to stay in Hangzhou alone.
Wu Song, who left Song Jiang, chose to stay in Hangzhou Liuhe Temple to become a monk, during this period, only one of the former Liangshan friends had seen him and worshiped Lu Zhishen. This person is the "little whirlwind" Chai Jin.
Chai Jin is a person from Cangzhou, and he is also a royal family left by the Later Zhou Dynasty, and there is also an iron scroll of Danshu given by Emperor Taizu at home, so the conditions at home are good.
Chai Jin himself has a good backgroundHe is very righteous, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, likes to make friends with heroes and heroes from all over the world, and has also helped Lin Chong, Song Jiang, Wu Song and others. But he has another shortcoming, that is, he will subconsciously divide people into three, six, nine and so on.
When Wu Song, who committed an accident, went to Cangzhou to defect to Chai Jin, Chai Jin did not hesitate to take Wu Song in.
It's just that in Chai Jin, Wu Song, who was born poor, was treated as the most ordinary level of Zhuangke. Therefore,Although Chai Jin is Wu Song's savior, for Wu Song, the life in Chai Jin's mansion is not so good, and he will even feel a little dissatisfied with Chai Jin's differential treatment.
Although Chai Jin has the Danshu Iron Scroll in his hand, it is only a little guarantee left by the previous dynasty, and at most he can save a life at a critical moment, in fact, there is still no real power.
It can be seen from the power of Yin Tianci's relied on to seize the garden of Chai Jin's uncle Chai Huangcheng, and Chai Huangcheng was finally angry to death, and in the face of power, the Chai family was also unable to resist.
After that, Yin Tianci also provoked Chai Jin, and was beaten to death by Li Kui, the black whirlwind who followed Chai Jin to Gaotang Prefecture. After Yin Tianci's death, Chai Jin was worried that Li Kui would be implicated, so he asked Li Kui to go first, and he took the Danshu iron scroll to protect himself, thinking that Gao Lian would not do anything to him in the face of the Danshu iron coupon.
Who would have thought that Danshu Iron Coupon would not be taken seriously by Gao Lian, and he would be put on death row. In the end, it was because Chai Jin had helped many heroes and heroes, and after the heroes on Liangshan learned of this, they attacked Tang Gaozhou together to rescue Chai Jin, and Chai Jin was forced to go to Liangshan.
Many heroes on Liangshan have been favored by Chai Jin, and Chai Jin quickly ranked tenth in Liangshan by virtue of his own ability and financial resources, and was treated well in Liangshan. After that, the people of Liangshan, under the leadership of Song Jiang, agreed to the imperial court's recruitment. After agreeing to Zhao'an, the imperial court immediately sent them to fight a vicious battle, the Battle of Fangla.
In this battle, most of Liangshan's brothers were killed in Huangquan. Chai Jin was sent to Fang La's camp to become an undercover agent because he had a scholarly atmosphere.
In Fang La's camp, Chai Jin quickly won the favor of Fang La's daughter because of his outstanding performance. In order to use Fang La's identity as a son-in-law to get more information, Chai Jin chose to marry Fang La's daughter.
It can be said that as an undercover agent, Chai Jin played a very big role in the battle of Fangla, and finally won the battle with the Liangshan army。After the victory of the war, Chai Jin was knighted, but soon after becoming an official, he chose to resign and return to his hometown.
After returning to his hometown, Chai Jin's later years were not peaceful. At that time, the Song Dynasty was no longer prosperous, and there was an invasion of the Jin people, and the people's lives were miserable. In order to delay the invasion of the Jin people, they ceded land and paid compensation, and wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment.
Chai Jin's family property was also confiscated. Disappointed in the Great Song Dynasty, he chose to go to sea and went to a small country, Siam, and became the prime minister of Siam with his extraordinary ability. It would have been possible to enjoy an old age in this small country.
It's just that when he saw that his country was invaded by the Jin, he resolutely chose to lead troops to aid the Great Song Dynasty.
When the aid of the Great Song Dynasty passed through Hangzhou, he went to visit his former comrade Wu Song. At that time, Wu Song had lived in the temple for a long time, and he had already seen through the mundane things in the face of red dust, and he was still very emotional when he saw his former brothers. The two also went to worship Lu Zhishen together, and then separated.
After that separation, there was no chance of goodbye between the twoWu Song accompanied the ancient Buddha with green lanterns in the temple until his death at the age of 80. And Chai Jin also returned to his hometown to recuperate, and finally got a good ending.
Among the heroes of Liangshan in the past, although many people were forced to go to Liangshan at that time. But living in such an era, experiencing so many extraordinary things, and still being able to fight bloody battles to defend the country is very admirable, and their spirit is worth learning from future generations.
