Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 31
...

When Chao Gai was still Baozheng in Dongxi Village, Wu Yong was a pedant holding a pointer, and Song Jiang was still racking his brains to get ahead, Wang Lun, who was similar in age, had already made his way in Shuibo Liangshan, the little-known Shuibo It was under the leadership of Wang Lun that Liangshan became famous far and wide, and its strength was far above that of Shaohua Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Taohua Mountain and other mountains in the same period.

Using Wu Yong's words to describe the Liangshan River at that time: "Nowadays, the cottage is so prosperous, and the officers and soldiers are catching robbers, so they dare not look at him directly." ——Wu Yong's words are full of envy and admiration.

To borrow the words of Ruan Xiaoer, a fisherman: "These thieves and men gathered five to seven hundred people, robbed houses and houses, and robbed customers. We didn't go fishing there for more than a year, and now the port is locked up and we are cut off. Therefore, it is difficult to explain in a single word.”——Ruan Xiaoer’s words are full of resentment and helplessness towards the waters and mountains of Liangshan at that time!
From the words of Wu Yong and Ruan Xiaoer alone, it is not difficult to hear that Wang Lun is better than most of the village owners.

It is by no means an easy task to turn an unknown mountaintop into a world-famous mountaintop in a short period of time, and it cannot be done without extraordinary insight and outstanding leadership.

What's more, the only subordinates Wang Lun could rely on at that time were Du Qian and Song Wan, two proven mediocre leaders-at that time, Zhu Gui was just a small leader who had just gone up the mountain.

Therefore, Wang Lun's ability can be seen to be extraordinary.

In addition, Wang Lun may have made a correct judgment on the political situation of the society at that time.

Wang Lun, who was born as a scholar, probably had a clearer understanding of the social situation at that time than Chao Gai, who was a big boss, and Song Jiang, who was blinded by power, and correctly judged the position of Shuibo Liangshan and the future development direction.

Generally speaking, there are only two ways out for an anti-government armed force in the end-either to be wiped out, or to be recruited.

If the government wanted to concentrate its efforts to wipe out a mountain, Fang La, as strong as Fang La, would not be able to resist it, let alone Liangshan, which was weak at the time?
As for the road of recruiting security, the tragic end of Song Jiang and others is the best proof.

I don't want to be wiped out, and I don't want to be recruited, so is there a third way to go?

Wang Lun may have noticed that the Northern Song Dynasty, which was in a precarious situation amid internal and external troubles at that time, could not wipe out all the mountain tops. They would only focus on those bandits that became bigger and stronger and threatened the stability of the regime. Song Huizong The four bandits written by the imperial pen can illustrate this point very well.

As for those small stocks, the government does not have the energy to ask them one by one.

Maintaining a certain strength cannot be easily wiped out by the government army or other hills, and if you don't make a big show to attract the key attacks of the government army, you are most likely to survive the stormy seas by driving the warship Liangshan.

Chao Gai has a bold personality, but he has neither Wang Lun's conservative rules nor Song Jiang's aggressive strategies. In his hands, Shuibo Liangshan will inevitably be wiped out.

Song Jiang seems to be a great talent, but he is taking the lives of his brothers in exchange for his own fame and future.

Living in the troubled times of the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, one must either enjoy his own paradise like Wang Lun, or open up territories and break ground like Fang La. If he succeeds, he will not make great achievements in the world, and if he loses, he will be a hero. You must not follow speculators like Song Jiang He thought he was a fighter against treacherous ministers and the rebellious party, shed blood and died, but in the end he became a lackey of treacherous ministers and rebellious party.

All in all, Wang Lun is not a princely king with great talents, but a great talent with great achievements.

Having said so much, what I really want to say is that it is a pity to kill Wang Lun!
This is also what Li Yan is thinking at the moment!
For the establishment of the power of Shuibo Liangshan, Wang Lun can be said to be indispensable. It can even be said that without Wang Lun, Shuibo Liangshan would never have developed so fast!

Is it too much to kill Wang Lun because of an idea that was not actually implemented?What will others think?Will there be a sense of sadness when the rabbit dies and the fox hurts its kind?

More importantly, today's Shuibo Liangshan cannot do without Wang Lun, a management talent. If Wang Lun is killed, the development of Shuibo Liangshan will definitely slow down, and may even go backwards!

The most important thing is that the facts have proved that Wang Lun can't make waves at all, and after learning the lesson of the bloody forest, Wang Lun may never dare to think about the position of the village leader again, especially with Shuibo Liangshan. With continuous development, Wang Lun in the future will only be one of many leaders—a very ordinary one!
"Liu Bang planned to assassinate Yong Chi who betrayed him many times, Ji Bu who chased and killed him, Kuai Che who persuaded Han Xin to stand up for himself many times, and Zhou Chang who called him Xia Jie and Shang Zhou in order to win the world. With his height, can't you even accommodate an insignificant Wang Lun?"

Thinking of this, Li Yan jumped into the water!
Although he is not a frogman of the Marine Corps, as a navy, how can he not know how to swim?Li Yan not only knows how to swim, but also has good water skills. Of course, he can't compare with diving masters like Ruan Shi Sanxiong and Zhang Shun.

Seeing Li Yan jumping into the water, Ruan Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly jumped into the water too...

……

"Is this the end of Xiao Ke's life?"

Wang Lun is not reconciled!Very unwilling!Extremely unwilling! ! !
"Xiao Ke has conceded defeat, Xiao Ke has praised you, Xiao Ke is even willing to be your loyal dog, why can't you give Xiao Ke a chance? Why? Why? Why?"

Even though he was unwilling, Wang Lun's consciousness became more and more blurred...

Just when Wang Lun was about to bid farewell to this world, a person suddenly appeared in front of him——Li Yan!
At this moment, Li Yan's image was infinitely magnified in Wang Lun's eyes, and finally he was almost equal to the god who ruled his destiny!
After finding Wang Lun, Li Yan twisted his body a few times and came behind Wang Lun. Then he lifted Wang Lun's collar and brought Wang Lun to the surface of the water.

Wang Lun, who had been reborn, devoured the air greedily, as if this ordinary air was a peerless delicacy!
Not long after, Ruan Xiaoqi also jumped out of the water, and then quickly swam towards Li Yan and Wang Lun!
Seeing that Ruan Xiaoqi almost killed him, Wang Lun couldn't care less about breathing this peerless delicacy, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Ke is willing to be a loyal dog for brother, please forgive Xiao Ke this time!"

Li Yan looked into Wang Lun's eyes and said leisurely: "Only this time, there will be another time..."

Wang Lun swore very simply: "There will be another time, let Xiao Ke be hacked into pieces, and his bones will be ashes!"

Li Yan said: "Okay, if there is a next time, I will help you fulfill your oath."

Wang Lun's heart shuddered!
But soon Wang Lun said calmly: "Xiao Ke will never give my brother this chance!"

At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi came to Li Yan's side, and then helped Li Yan drag Wang Lun back to the boat.

As soon as he boarded the boat, Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Such an unfaithful pig and dog should be fed fish, why should brother save him!"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Wang Lun's face, and at the same time Wang Lun's heart rose!
Li Yan stared, and said: "Brother Wang Lun called my brother, he is a pig and dog, what am I, hurry up and make amends to Brother Wang Lun!"

Listening to Li Yan defending him like this, Wang Lun finally let go of his heart!

Ruan Xiaoqi muttered in a low voice: "My brother is so kind, but he is so big!"

Although reluctant, Ruan Xiaoqi, who did not dare to disobey Li Yan's order, reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "Brother asked me to make amends for you, so I will make amends for you first!", and immediately Ruan Xiaoqi's tone changed, and he said in a harsh voice: "But there is one thing, if you still dare to change your mind, Qiye knows you, Qiye's sword doesn't know you, you just fled to At the end of the world, Seventh Master must also find you and poke a hundred holes in you!"
