Chapter 1039 The perpetrator is evil, but the victim is not necessarily good
Although Yu Baosi sincerely asked for help, Xiao Tang secretly thought that even if you plan to intercept Hu in Liangshan, I am afraid that it will be easy to break through the board and be beaten to pieces, and you will almost be pushed out by Dong Ping and beheaded...
.. Friendships are divided into distant and distant ones. You would think that Dong Ping would give you some face, but according to the original work, he didn’t think so.
Xiao Tang then waved his hand and said: "If we can do favors with each other, we must keep in touch with each other. Although my brother and Dong Ping met in Hedong, over the years, you have been making a living as a horse bandit in Qingzhou, while Dong Ping is commanding in Dongping Mansion.
The commander-in-chief is a military and horse supervisor, and you are on the same border on Jingdong Road. I don't see you coming and going with each other, and you are also an official and a gangster. Brother, you thought you could talk to him about some old friendship, but now Dong Ping.
.....Are you willing to treat the people in the green forest as close friends and old friends?"
Yu Baosi, who was trying to make contributions to the village, listened to Xiao Tang's analysis. He was slightly startled at first, and then thought about it for a moment, thinking about Dong Ping's past behavior and he couldn't help but be silent.
Xiao Tang paused for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Qing and other brothers from Bozhou, and said: "Let's not talk about Dong Ping for now. Since Bozhou is adjacent to Dongping Mansion, do you guys know who Dongping Mansion is?
The prefect named Cheng Wanli... but what about his reputation as a person?"
Hearing Xiao Tang ask about Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, Zhang Qing suddenly showed a look of disgust, snorted and said: "If Cheng Wanli is compared with the prefect of Honzhou He, he is in the sky and on the ground.
I heard that he was relying on Tong Guan's power, and he was also a dog official who did everything he could to deceive his colleagues and blackmail the people! Previously, when Dongping Mansion was still called Yunzhou, the then Magistrate Chen Wenzhao was considered a good official.
I also respect people who are extravagant in their abilities, but Cheng Wanli is a state official who harms the people and looks down on military generals. The nearby military states also know what he is like."
After Zhang Qing said something, Generals Gong Wang and Ding Desun immediately echoed his words. Now Xiao Tang probably had an idea in his mind. In the original work, Dong Ping and the Liangshan Army rebelled and captured Dongping Mansion, killing Cheng Wanli and everyone in the family.
Taking away his daughter by force was indeed an evil act, but not all victims were innocent and kind. They only suffered misfortunes because they were coveted by evil people.
According to the trajectory of the original work, after Liangshan's army captured Dongping Prefecture and Bozhou (called Dongchang Prefecture in the original work), the methods of dealing with the prefects of the two states were also completely different. The prefect of Bozhou spared no killing because of his integrity, while Dong Ping was
Before killing Taishou Cheng's family and robbing his daughter to be his wife, Song Jiang led his troops to attack the city and urgently issued an order to the general: Do not kill the people or set people's houses on fire. Then Song Jiang ordered his subordinates to make announcements along the street, informing the people:
The state official who harmed the people has committed suicide. You and other good people can live in peace and give you a reason to kill him... At that time, Liangshan wanted to have a good reputation. If Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, was really a bad reputation
Song Jiang is a very good and upright official. He still has some brains at least, so how could he do such stupid things as to cover up the truth and pretend that a deer is a horse?
As the saying goes, there is no truth in raping or killing, and evil people will be punished by evil people... Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, and now through Zhang Qing's mouth, he can now confirm that Cheng Wanli is not a good bird. Dong Ping killed his father and took his daughter.
His evil deeds were proven, and he deserved to be reviled by future generations. However, it was just for the convenience of lashing out at Dong Ping, which led to the somewhat inexplicable saying that Cheng Wanli was actually an upright and good official.
....But it is a very typical overkill.
The reason why Water Margin is a classic is that it is not a novel in which good people must be tall and tall, and bad people must be immoral to the point of smoking, causing the characters to become stereotyped. Many important characters in the book have been portrayed with a kind of tension in their personalities.
It's not as simple as killing evil people necessarily being good people. It's as simple as being able to draw the line between good and evil in detail... Xiao Tang thought to himself, thinking about what if those nasty things between Dong Ping and Cheng Wanli were true.
If you put it in a harsher tone, would this be considered dog-eat-dog?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
At the same time, in the military barracks in Dongping County, the headquarters of Dongping Prefecture, a roar of great anger suddenly sounded: "How unreasonable! That jealous old thief Cheng Wanli! He really insulted me so much!!"
Dong Ping took off his armor, but his clothes were still stained with blood. He gritted his teeth, and his face was gloomy. His face, which was originally dignified and handsome, was twisted, and his eyes seemed to be spitting out flames of hatred. In Dong Ping's eyes,
The former junior high school commander had never seen the commander-in-chief of the army so furious, and his face turned pale with fright, and he did not even dare to take a breath.
It turns out that Dongping Prefecture first received a Jun order from Bianjing, and together with Puzhou, Bozhou and the Jingdong Road gangsters gathered in Zhujiazhuang, they planned to conquer several green forest villages on the border of Shandong, but unexpectedly they stopped in Liangshan.
The strong men raised troops in advance to invade. Cheng Wanli of Dongping Prefecture heard that Song Jiang had sent troops to occupy Anshan Town in the east and was stationed there. He immediately asked Dong Ping to discuss important military affairs. Then he heard the news that Liangshan's army was approaching, but Dong Ping said nothing.
, ordered the soldiers and horses, mounted their horses at the fourth watch, and went out of the city and went straight to Songjiang Dazhai to kill.
Dong Ping really fought with all his strength, making the pair of iron spears appear and disappear, making them invincible. After repelling three thieves in a row, he became more eager to fight. He even held two spears in his hands and rode straight into Liangshan.
In the army's formation!
Although Dong Ping was surrounded by soldiers on all sides, no matter whether Dong Ping was rushing east or west or fighting south or north, a large number of enemy generals would come up to intercept him, but Dong Ping showed great power.
, Wu Zi Neng ran rampant in the formation for several hours, leaving two guns with guns all over his body covered in blood, and he was forced out of the formation again.
However, even though Dong Ping was proud of his achievements and was very arrogant because of his unstoppable martial arts, he knew very well that he was still a mortal body after all, and this act of riding alone into the battle was very reckless and risky. Even the strong men of Liangshan
The leader was also shocked and impressed by Dong Ping's brave and unstoppable ability. However, Dong Ping was still alone and could not win the battle. He had to withdraw his troops and return to the city. However, the strong soldiers and horses led by Song Jiang took advantage of the situation and advanced to the bottom of Dongping County. They mobilized troops to surround him.
Arrived at the city wall.
Dong Ping knew very well that Liangshan's army was unstoppable, and he could not take risks again and again with his own strength. But for now, he still had to bite the bullet and hold on, not to deal with Cheng Wanli and that guy.
This explanation does not take into account that as a military commander, he has the responsibility to defend his state. When the invaders invade, he has no choice but to defend the state to the death...
Wan'er, the reason why I fight to the death is all for you...
It is said that Dong Ping has a clever mind, is knowledgeable in all kinds of things, can play bamboo and tune strings, and is handsome and handsome. His appearance and charm naturally attract the admiration of many birds and birds. But when he
When I first met Cheng Wan'er, the daughter of Cheng Wanli, the magistrate of this state, I felt my bones and muscles were weak and numb, and my three souls and seven souls seemed to have been taken away. From then on, I thought about it day and night, and my heart was already attracted by Cheng Wan'er's rich talents, good looks, and elegance.
The appearance and charm are restrained.
After that, Dong Ping sent many people to ask for Cheng Wanli's hand in marriage, but Cheng Wanli not only refused, but also had many scornful words in his words. As a result, there was already some discord between the two of them. Cheng Wanli often reminded Dong Ping in his words.
, at least let him know his identity clearly, and stop wishful thinking. However, although some people often value it more when they don't get it, Dong Ping was not only attracted by many women in the past, but he also had an arrogant and arrogant temperament.
, the more difficult it is for him to get someone, the more he wants to get it.
Riding alone into the battle, Dong Ping knew that it was dangerous, but he still fought hard, and in his heart he also planned to let Cheng Wanli know my intentions at this critical moment. Even if I take advantage of the situation, I am the military commander of Dongping Prefecture. If
Now that I can marry your daughter and fulfill my dream wish, how can I not be willing to fight to the end?
Therefore, after several hours of bloody battle with the Liangshan Army, Dong Ping returned to the city and immediately sent a confidant to Cheng Wanli to ask about the marriage. Unexpectedly, after Cheng Wanli responded, Dong Ping heard that the guy's words were to the effect:
"I am the prefect of this state, and Governor Dong is a military attache. Even if he is willing to marry into our Cheng family as his son-in-law, hehe... Although it is reasonable, there are bandits coming to the city now, and the matter is critical. At this time
It is against the rules to talk about marriage. After the Liangshan bandits have been repulsed and the city is protected, we can discuss the marriage at that time... Let's discuss it later."
