Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen's relationship is getting worse and worse? Where does the evidence come from?
The evidence is their intimacy: after Lu Zhishen went to Liangshan, he traveled on business, often with Wu Song; marching and fighting, and rarely with Lin Chong.
But it's just a work arrangement and doesn't prove that something is wrong with their friendship.
Maybe you will say that Li Kui was loyal to Song Jiang, so he often stayed around. If Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong are good friends, why not ask the leaders to arrange for them to work together?
This has to be said from two aspects.
First, Lu Zhishen is a monk, a true monk who has held ceremonies and has a degree. Although he also ate dog meat, drank alcohol, and killed people, he was no longer obedient, and he was still a monk, wearing a monk's robe, and even his weapons were armed with a precept Zen staff, which was the weapon of the monks.
Therefore, Lu Zhishen's deep and micro-going downhill office work is inconvenient to travel with Lin Chong, who is dressed as a layman and has a golden seal on his face, otherwise it is too easy to expose his identity. No matter what, Liangshan is an illegal group of rebels, and the good people of Liangshan do not have an open and legal identity.
As for Wu Song, although he was a fake monk, he did not worship the teacher and did not hold a ceremony, but after all, he put on the monk's robe and has always been the image of a "walker" with hair cultivation. He and Lu Zhishen were together, and it seemed that they were two monks walking together, which would not arouse suspicion.
Second, Lin Chong was born as the "Leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army Guns and Sticks" and was good at horse warfare. And Lu Zhishen was born as a "Ti Jurisdiction" and was good at infantry combat. It is not that Lin Chong cannot fight on foot, but there are too many people from Liangshan's good Hanzhong City, not many can get on horseback to fight, and even fewer can command cavalry to fight. Lin Chong would of course be sent to a post that was urgently needed.
Therefore, when marching and fighting, two people belong to different branches of the army, and the opportunity to fight side by side is naturally less.
Although it is few, it is not nothing. In the ninety-fifth time, Song Jiang personally led people to "kill the south of Zhaode City", and the generals he brought included Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen.
However, in the battles of the division of the army, Lin Chong often accompanied Qin Ming and Xu Ning, who were immediately generals, while Lu Zhishen cooperated with Wu Song, Yang Xiong, and Shi Xiu, who were experts in infantry warfare.
