As the same five tiger generals, Hu Yanzhuo ranked eighth, but Dong Ping ranked fifteenth, why is this?
First: Dong Ping went up the mountain at the latest.
When Dong Ping returned to Liangshan, Liangshan's good han went down the mountain for the last time before the Great Juyi. There were not many opportunities left for Dong Ping to perform, and he did not have much time to show loyalty to Song Jiang. In Dongchang Province, Dong Ping originally wanted to show off his skills and defeat Zhang Qing. The result was a very punch in the face, he was still defeated by Zhang Qing! Dong Ping's time on the mountain was too short, and Song Jiang could not be sure whether Dong Ping was his person. Dong Ping's character was despicable and arrogant, and Song Jiang was naturally wary of him and deliberately suppressed him.
Second: Dong Ping's influence is the weakest.
Lin Chong was the elder of the Three Dynasties, and his influence was naturally great. Qin Ming went up the mountain earlier, because he married Hua Rong's sister and became a concubine of Song Jiang, so Qin Ming's influence was not small. Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo were the commanders of liangshan and submitted to Song Jiang. They have soldiers and generals, and their power is extremely great, which is not comparable to Dong Ping.
The other four tiger generals of Liangshan had all made great contributions to Liangshan, and Dong Ping had not made any meritorious contributions. The reason he surrendered liangshan was simply to get a woman. Because Dong Ping had no power, he had not made a great contribution. If Dong Ping ranks too high, it will naturally attract criticism.
Third: Dong Ping's character is too poor.
The five tiger generals all have bad deeds and stains, and in comparison, Dong Ping's behavior is the most despicable and shameless. Dong Ping is a lustful person who has a crush on Cheng Taishou's beautiful daughter and wants to marry her. Cheng Taishou saw that Dong Ping was not a good bird and refused. In order to achieve his dirty goal, Dong Ping surrendered Liangshan and broke the city with the good men of Liangshan. In order to successfully get Miss Cheng, Dong Ping also vented his anger, he cruelly and viciously killed Cheng Taishou and his wife, and forcibly bullied Miss Cheng.
Most of the good men in Liangshan are bad female people, and they naturally look down on Dong Ping's ugly behavior of killing his father and bullying his daughter. In particular, Lu Zhishen, who is good at fighting unevenly and has power, must have despised Dong Ping even more. Later, Li Kui robbed the daughter of others because he mistakenly believed that Song Jiang had cut down the banner of "For the Heavenly Path".
Dong Ping's behavior in this way is undoubtedly a smear on the faces of the good people of Liangshan. Song Jiang would not anger everyone because of Dong Ping alone, so he ranked Dong Ping low, especially after Lu Zhishen and Wu Song!
Because Dong Ping's character was despicable, he was late in going up the mountain, and he had no merit, so he ranked fifteenth, far behind Hu Yanzhuo's eighth rank!
