After the 108 generals accepted the court's offer, they did not idle, first defeating the Liao state, the Liao state surrendered, and then successively pacifying the forces of Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La. Before Fang La, the good men did not lose any damage, but after pacifying Fang La, ten folds and six or seven, only more than thirty people were spared.
Among these living people, each person's final choice is also different.
Li Jun took Tong Wei and Tong Meng, together with Chishu Long Fei Bao and others, went out to sea to continue fighting, and finally mentioned the king of Siam, who can be regarded as the most successful of the good hans of Liangshan; Chai Jin, Dai Zong, and Li Ying resigned one after another, or returned to their hometowns to hunt, or became good, or became rich; Zhu Wu and Fan Rui also abandoned their officials and went to Gongsun Sheng to cultivate; Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were killed, and Wu Yong and Hua Rong hanged themselves... The good man of Liangshan at that time could no longer be vigorous.
Among them, Yan Qing did not wander the world with Master Li like in the film and television drama, but chose to go into hiding, carrying a load of gold and silver jewelry, and disappeared.
Yan Qing can have this kind of mind, in fact, thanks to his friends. His friend was not in Liangshan, but earlier than Yan Qing, and chose to go into hiding, he was Xu Guanzhong.
In fact, Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong can be regarded as friends since childhood, but later Yan Qing went to Liangshan, and Xu Guanzhong went to the examination for meritorious name.
Yan Qing praised, "In the past, in the Daming Mansion, I was the most rebellious with my brother. Since the elder brother took the military action, he was not allowed to see each other. But looking for this good place, how elegant! - "Water Margin"
From here, it can be known that Xu Guanzhong once performed martial arts, and it is obvious that the martial arts are good. And Xu Guanzhong also said that he and Yan Qing were the most closely related, but they had been separated for more than ten years. Yan Qing was only 27 years old when he met Xu Guanzhong, and he only defeated the Liao State when he met Xu Guanzhong, less than a year after Zhao'an, which shows that he and Xu Guanzhong were already friends when he was a teenager.
When Yan Qing served the country, why did Xu Guanzhong quit the official arena? In fact, it is very simple, because Gao Li, Cai Jing and others came to power, they oppressed the good and harmed the imperial court, so it was difficult for good people to do it. Xu Guanzhong was not accustomed to this, and he himself said that he was a little out of place, and every time he saw the dictatorship of the party and hoodwinked the imperial court, he resigned his official position, traveled around, and finally went into hiding in the "big mountain" (note that this is the name of the mountain).
However, Xu Guanzhong's mind was not completely in the jianghu, and he still had his mind on the imperial court. Therefore, when he saw Yan Qing serving the imperial court, he greatly praised it. However, when Yan Qing persuaded him to join the army, he still refused, and told Yan Qing that after he became famous, he would find a way out.
It was Xu Guanzhong's words that woke up Yan Qing, so after consulting Fang La, Yan Qing was determined to leave. Yan Qing even persuaded Lu Junyi to leave together, but unfortunately Lu Junyi did not listen, and was eventually killed by Gao Li and others.
Although Xu Guanzhong returned to the hidden mountain forest and did not want to go out of the mountain, he still cared about Yan Qing and even helped Song Jiang.
When Yan Qing bid farewell to Xu Guanzhong, Xu Guanzhong gave him a map and said that it might be useful. Later, When Hebei TianHu rebelled, Song Jiang and others went out again, and Wu Yong believed that the mountains and rivers of the Three Jins were dangerous and that someone must be sent to investigate clearly. At this time, Yan Qingjin presented the map of the Three Jin Mountains and Rivers City Pool Pass, which was given to him by Xu Guanzhong.
It can be seen from this that Xu Guanzhong had already anticipated that Song Jiang and others would attack Tian Hu and needed this map, so he would hand it over to Yan Qing in advance. What is even more rare is that Xu Guanzhong's annotations on the map are very clear, where troops can be tuned, where they can be engaged, and where they can be ambushed, all written out.
Xu Guanzhong, who really responded to Fan Zhongyan's words, was far away from the rivers and lakes, and he was worried about qijun. Even outside the imperial court, he still thought that he could sweep away the unfairness of the world and serve the king and the country and the people. Of course, Xu Guanzhong did not want to go out of the mountain, so he would help Song Jiang, which was to let Song Jiang fulfill his wish.
Wen and Wu shuangquan but returned to the hidden mountains and forests, the rapids bravely retreated still concerned about the world, helped Song Jiang to sweep Tian Hu, a few words also pointed out Yan Qing, such a worldly high-ranking person, although there are few scenes in the book, but admirable, straight as a glimpse of the hong, plus the name is also similar to Luo Guanzhong, no wonder some people say that this is Luo Guanzhong wrote himself into the Water Margin.
