Are there any incompetent connections in Water Margin 36 Tiangang?

As a whole, Liangshan 108 also has high and low levels. The most obvious one is the division between 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha. 36 Tiangang is equivalent to the leadership, and 72 Disha is the led. Regardless of your ability or how influential you were in the world, as long as you join the 36 Tiangang, it is equivalent to having "leadership treatment."

On the contrary, the same is true for 72 Disha. For example, Sun Li, who everyone was grievances against, was originally the leader of the Dengzhou sect and a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Not only was he aggrieved in the 72 Disha, but he could only stare at his former younger brother Jie Zhen and He Bao, who entered the 36 Tiangang Pressure. The feeling on the top of my head is actually unpleasant.

But then again, although Xie Zhen and Xie Bao are not well-known in the world, their ability to climb rocks and mountains is unparalleled, so he became the leader of Liangshan's "Mountain Field Army". Entering 36 Tiangang, there seems to be nothing to say.

However, if you take a closer look, you will find that there are three major related households hidden in 36 Tiangang: small in ability, big in jokes, and even being called a hero is barely possible. Let’s take a look at it together. Which three.

One: Winged Tiger Lei Heng

Lei Heng's ability to enter Tiangang is purely due to the relationship between Chao Gai and Song Jiang, mainly Song Jiang. Because he and Zhu Tong were both captains of Yuncheng County, when they were ordered to capture Chao Gai and Song Jiang, they tacitly let them go. As the saying goes, there is no greater merit than the Savior. Lei Heng had a good relationship with Chao Gai and Song Jiang, and he saved these two people one after another, so he was able to take care of them.

But what is Lei Heng’s ability? At least he can't beat Liu Tang, but how about comparing him to Sun Li? It's even worse. The author even doubts whether he can beat Huang Xin. So what great achievements has he made after going to Liangshan? It's depressing to say it. In fact, there is only one thing: to deceive benefactor Zhu Tong into Liangshan.

Zhu Dian was assigned to save him. As a result, just when Zhu Dian was about to start his life over again, Lei Heng was ordered to come and wanted to persuade Zhu Dian to go to Liangshan, but he was sternly rejected. But unexpectedly, this was a delaying tactic. When Lei Heng entangled Zhu Tong, Li Kui took action, and the innocent child died. Zhu Tong was forced to a dead end and had to follow Lei Heng to Liangshan.

This is a joke no matter how you look at it, and it is also a joke that makes people feel cold behind their backs, but Lei Heng completed this "joke" shamelessly!

Where is this guy? It is clear that he is a ruthless and unjust person. Therefore, Lei Heng can be called the most harmful friend in Water Margin! This reminds us: when making friends in reality, we must keep our eyes peeled and pay attention to distinguish so-called friends like "Lei Heng", because we cannot make friends at all!

Second: Yang Xiong is at fault due to illness

Yang Xiong’s ability to enter 36 Tiangang is entirely due to Shi Xiu’s success. Who makes him Shi Xiu’s eldest brother? Because Shi Xiu is so outstanding, such as Zhujiazhuang's exploration of the road and meritorious service, and Daming Mansion's robberies alone to save Lu Junyi, no one can ignore him. In this way, Yang Xiong entered 36 Tiangang.

So what is Yang Xiong’s ability? The most impressive record is: When Yan Qing went to Liangshan to ask for help to save Lu Junyi, he happened to meet Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu who came out to inquire about the news. Yang Xiong went up and knocked Yan Qing over with a stick. When he first met Shi Xiu, he was extremely embarrassed and was surrounded and beaten by a group of people. This led to Shi Xiu's rescue.

In addition, Yang Xiong was deceived by Pan Qiaoyun into the number one "taken advantage of" in the Water Margin. Not only was his head "green", but even Shi Xiu didn't believe it. Thanks to Shi Xiu for saving him, the adultery between Pan Qiaoyun and Pei Ruhai was finally made public, thus preventing Yang Xiong from becoming the second Wu Dalang.

So, Yang Xiong’s journey in the Water Margin is laughable no matter how you look at it, and there is no heroic spirit at all. So much so that someone once summarized the relationship between Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu. Yang Xiong said three words: My brother Shi Xiu is right! My brother Shi Xiu did the right thing! Brother, why are you dead? I will die too!

Although it is a joke, with the intention of burying Yang Xiong, it is summed up vividly. However, Yang Xiong’s experience in the Water Margin has given us a revelation: to make friends, you should make friends with capable people. The saying "Follow the capable people to get meat to eat, follow the straw bag to get cool breeze" is probably true.

Third: Black Whirlwind Li Kui

Li Kui’s ability to enter the 36 Tiangang was entirely due to Song Jiang’s relationship. Because Song Jiang needs Li Kui's evil to reflect his benevolence. As the saying goes, only after being overbearing does kingliness come out to calm people's hearts. Li Kui and Song Jiang also have this kind of dependence relationship.

So what is Li Kui’s ability? The author thinks: Very bad! The reason why Li Kui seems so fierce is because Li Kui is best at "stealing the scene". Let’s take his most famous example: Li Kui killed four tigers by himself. Why was he not as heroic and praised as Wu Song when he killed tigers? Wu Song showed his strength in a real and face-to-face manner, while Li Kui relied on sneak attacks and even held a simple sword.

For example, when Li Kui killed Hu Sanniang's family, he also "cut off rows of heads" when he rescued Song Jiang. Chao Gai was so angry that he shouted: If you don't do the people's business, don't hurt the people. But what if you face a master? The gap is revealed. He was beaten by Yan Qing and called brother, but he couldn't find Bei by Jiao Ting. This is Li Kui's ability - Wu Song specializes in fighting tough guys in the world, while Li Kui specializes in pinching soft persimmons and innocent people.

So Li Kui entered the 36 Tiangang and was called a hero. This is a huge joke! The root cause is that Song Jiang made Li Kui successful, but in the end Song Jiang personally destroyed Li Kui and tricked him into drinking poisonous wine.

So, from Li Kui’s experience of Water Margin, we can clearly draw this conclusion: evil people will have their own troubles! To be a human being, you still need to have a heart of reverence and benevolent. This is the right way! Otherwise, like Li Kui, if you look at him, not only does he have no friends, but he has completely become a tool in Song Jiang's hands. Isn't this sad!
