In the two versions of the Water Margin TV series, Wu Song's left arm was cut off by Fang La, and Wu Song's one-arm capture of Fang Lazhi has also been adopted by many storytellers, but in Cai Dongfan's "Romance of the Song Dynasty", Wu Song's arm was cut by Fang Qifo, and Wu Song's one-arm capture was not Fang La, but Fang Qifo.
In Shi Nai'an's original Water Margin, Fang La's martial arts are not very good, and Lu Zhishen takes him like a lion fighting a rabbit: "Fang La is hungry in his belly, but he is about to go to the Mao'an to ask for some food." I saw that behind the pine tree, a fat monk came out, knocked over a Zen stick, and tied it with a rope. That monk is none other than the flower monk Lu Zhishen. ”
Fang Lafei is a general of Lu Zhishen, but he is said to be able to cut off Wu Song's left arm, and he slashed Wu Song in a fair fight, which of these two statements is reliable for the time being, let's talk about Lu Zhishen and Wu Song in the original Water Margin: Lu Zhishen won three battles on the battlefield, one loss and one draw, and how many battles can he win if he is replaced by Wu Song?
Lu Zhishen was born as a regular officer of the family army, and it was okay if he killed Zhen Guanxi with three punches and didn't run: first, the civilian Zheng Tu used a knife in front of the officer Lu Tizhi, which is like a rebellion, and he deserved to be killed; Second, Lu Tizhi was seconded by the family army to Weizhou to "help" the small species to be slightly public, even if the law was violated, the Weizhou local government had no right to deal with it, and even if the small species had to be disposed of, they had to ask the old people for instructions and report, and the old seed only needed to transfer Lu Tizhi back to Yan'an Mansion, and the matter was over.
Lu Zhishen opposed Zhao'an, but the momentum of Zhao'an was irreversible, in order to take care of those brothers, Lu Zhishen had to follow to participate in the four battles of breaking the Liao State, fighting Tianhu, destroying Wang Qing, and conquering Fangla.
Although Lu Zhishen was recruited, but in the battle he rarely hurt the killer, and he would never kill those who could be captured alive, only after Wu Song was injured and his arm was broken, Lu Zhishen "broke the ring" and killed Xiahou Cheng, and he was like a mad tiger and never died: "Lu Zhishen went into the rear and was in the battle of Xiahou. The two fought a lot, and Xiahou won or failed. Lu Zhishen had a Zen staff and went straight in, and the southern army scattered. Xiahou Cheng looked at the mountains and forests and ran, Lu Zhishen was reluctant and rushed into the mountains. ”
Lu Zhishen didn't kill Xiahou Cheng, and the anger in his heart was nowhere to be released, so he forgot that Elder Zhizhen told him to "capture him in the summer", and chased after him and killed the killer: "Since the Sprinkle family fought in the ten thousand pine forests on the Wulong Ridge, they chased Xiahou Cheng into the mountains and were killed by the Sprinkle family. ”
Xiahou Cheng can fight Lu Zhishen for a few rounds, indicating that his martial arts may not be under the black whirlwind Li Kui, if Wu Song is not injured, of course he can kill Xiahou Cheng, but whether it can be as simple as Lu Zhishen to win, it is difficult to say.
Lu Zhishen defeated Xiahou Cheng, Lu Zhishen did not elaborate on the fighting process, maybe in Lu Zhishen's opinion, whether it was killing Xiahou Cheng or killing other enemy generals, it was not worth boasting about, what really made Lu Zhishen use all his strength and did not win, it was still the Baoguang monk Deng Yuanjue.
Deng Yuanjue is one of the four generalissimos under Fang Tianding, the prince of Fang La, and his status in the Fang La army is basically equivalent to the head of the five tiger generals of the horse army or the ten leaders of the infantry army in Liangshan.
Prince Fang Tianding and "Liangshan nemesis" Shi Bao (the pioneer Suo Chao, the fiery eye Deng Fei, the mourning god Bao Xu, the iron flute fairy Ma Lin, and the brocade tiger Yan Shun all died at his hands) watched Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue go head-to-head, and they were also dizzy: "I only said that there is a flower monk Lu Zhishen in Liangshanbo, I don't want it to be like this, and it is worthy of its reputation." After fighting for a long time, I have never discounted the slightest bit of cheapness with the Baoguang monk...... The young general was also stunned, he had never seen this pair of opponents! ”
Readers who are familiar with the original work of the Water Margin may have already discovered that Lu Zhishen came on foot all the way, Song Jiang was very unrighteous, and Lu Zhishen's original big white horse didn't know who he had transferred it to, so Lu Zhishen could only "run from the village on Tangzhen Road to the gate of the vegetable market and fight on foot", while Deng Yuanjue waited for work at ease and took a great advantage in physical strength.
Lu Zhishen was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and he just wanted to have a good time, but he didn't have the idea of killing people and making meritorious contributions: "It turns out that the Southern Army also has this bald guy coming out!" Sprinkle the tutor and eat me a hundred Zen sticks. ”
Deng Yuanjue "has the responsibility to defend the land", and he is also fighting for survival, in his opinion, the heads-up with Lu Zhishen is both a victory or a defeat and a life and death, and he will inevitably do his best to kill him.
If Lu Zhishen was also fighting to the death like Deng Yuanjue, this heads-up might have ended in Deng Yuanjue's defeat.
Of course, Wu Song, who was sweeping the formation, knew Lu Zhishen's thoughts, and at the same time, he also saw that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to Lu Zhishen: Deng Yuanjue had a lot of physical strength, and Lu Zhishen had already run a long way with a Zen staff, plus Master Lu was hungry, if he really played for two or three hours, he would have low blood sugar.
Wu Song knew that Lu Zhishen could not fight for a long time, so he took out the snowflake iron double ring knife and rushed forward, Deng Yuan saw that he couldn't take the fat monk, and there was another tiger-faced walker, and if he didn't run, he would die, so he had to "drag the Zen cane and look at the city and leave".
Wu Song did not relentlessly chase after him, and killed Bei Yingkui, who came out to block the cross, and the fight between Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue could only be regarded as a draw.
Lu Zhishen drew with Deng Yuanjue in fifty rounds, if the first one to shoot was Wu Song, could he kill Deng Yuanjue within fifty rounds, or lose to Deng Yuanjue after a hundred rounds, because the fight did not happen, so it was difficult to draw conclusions for a while, so I had to put it at the end, let's go back and see that Lu Zhishen was injured in the only battle.
Lu Zhishen was injured that time by Zhang Qing, who was beaten by the feather arrow, although Zhang Qing was not martial, but after all, he won and Lu Zhishen lost: "Lu Zhishen carried the Zen staff, strode and walked, but forgot to beware of his stones." A stone was flying on Lu Zhishen's head, causing blood to burst out, and he fell after looking at it. Zhang Qingjun and horses shouted together, all rushing to the future. Wu Song hurriedly took two swords, died to save Lu Zhishen, and left the grain cart. ”
If Lu Zhishen had a helmet, the result would definitely be different, but Song Jiang was too mean to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, and even Li Kui had armor on the battlefield, but Song Jiang neither gave Lu Wu and the two armor nor equipped them with war horses - Lu Zhishen rode a big white horse, and he could draw with Hu Yanzhuo, one of the five tiger generals of the Liangshan Horse Army, and when Hu Yanzhuo drew the battle, Lu Zhishen also came from a long distance.
Li Kui sometimes takes off his arms when he fights, but he is not without armor, Wu uses his wisdom to earn a jade unicorn, Lu Junyi was deceived to the foot of Liangshan, and Li Kui, who was the first to pounce on him and fight alone, was dressed like this at the time: "Qian red turban, golden flower slanted." Iron armor and phoenix helmet, brocade embroidered jacket. The blood-stained mustache is fierce. A pair of big axes is intimidating to everyone. ”
Song Jiang equipped Li Kui with an iron-armored phoenix helmet, just for fear that he would be injured or killed, but he didn't care so much about Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, and even Lu Zhishen's big white horse was deprived, so that Lu Zhishen had to carry sixty-two catties of water-milled iron Zen staff to march, and the physical consumption was bound to be not small - one catty in the Northern Song Dynasty is equivalent to three or four taels of one catty now, and sixty-two catties is more than eighty catties now.
If Lu Zhishen had a helmet, he would not be knocked down by Zhang Qingyi, and this battle would not be lost, fortunately, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song are good brothers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, and the two save each other's lives, and also leave us with an interesting question: Lu Zhishen won three battles on the battlefield, one draw and one loss, if Wu Song was replaced in the battle, he would definitely be able to win Xiahou Cheng, and Baoguang monk Deng Yuanjue or no feather arrow Zhang list pick, how many rounds can Wu Song end the battle, and what are his chances of winning?
