Chapter 258 The Talent of a Military Advisor (Please Subscribe!)
...

Dengzhou City has been defeated, so it is no problem to rescue Xie Zhen and Xie Bao.

Both Xie Zhen and Xie Bao are more than seven feet tall, with a thin waist and broad shoulders. They are good at crossing mountains and ridges. They are the number one hunters in Dengzhou.

One of the great mysteries of the Water Margin is the mystery of the ranking of heroes.

The ranking is mainly based on strength, connections, and backgrounds. Those with strong strength, strong connections, and famous backgrounds will naturally rank higher, while those with weak strengths, no relationship, and low backgrounds can only stand at the back.

However, there is a very special example here, that is the ranking of brothers Sun Li and Xie Zhen and Jie Bao.

Sun Li, like Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, both came from military ranks, and Sun Li, a military rank officer, should be a little older than Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, so he can be regarded as a mid-level military officer.

In addition, to paraphrase Sun Xin's words, "Nowadays he is the only one in Dengzhou, and he killed and dispersed several grassroots raids in the city, and he is famous everywhere." It shows that Sun Li is very capable.

Moreover, it was only because of Sun Li who led the Dengzhou Department to do internal response that Song Jiang defeated Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, and Lijiazhuang, and then Song Jiang overcame Chaogai and later became the master of Liangshan. Standing against the water mooring Liangshan is meritorious.

Plus, Sun Li's relatives.

It can be said that Sun Li has everything in terms of strength, background, connections, and credit.

However, what surprised people was that Sun Li failed to be in the Tiangang list, but Xie Zhen and Xie Bao.

Why is this?

Explains a lot:

Someone explained it from Sun Li, saying that Sun Li was not a good character, he cheated or even killed his fellow brother Tie Bang Luan Yanyu, which was unrighteous. Such a person would naturally not rank high in Shuibo Liangshan, where loyalty is the most important thing.

Some people also explained from Song Jiang that the Dengzhou faction was too powerful and self-contained, and the backbone of them were all relatives.

Some people also explained from Xie Zhen and Xie Bao that Xie Zhen and Xie Bao held up the banner of the field army, and they were also rare "first-footed" players. Their brothers were field troops, and they generally acted independently from the army, reconnaissance, and pathfinding. Climbing mountains, setting fires, and sneak attacks are very good, and Sun Li belongs to the general of the Ma Jun, and there are too many people who overlap with Sun Li's professional skills. It seems that Sun Li is a bit wronged by putting Sun Li in the second place of Ma Jun Xiaobiao Actually, among the people in front of and behind Sun Li, Huang Xin, Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen, Han Tao, and Peng Qi, none of them came from worse backgrounds than Sun Li, and none of them had a higher official position than Sun Li.

The most peculiar explanation, and also the most perfect one, is the explanation in "Water Margin", to the effect that this stele was actually made by Jin Dajian, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Gongsun Sheng, and Song Jiang had already made it Jin Dajian engraved Lu Junyi's name in the second place, and decided to announce the stele only after Lu Junyi went up the mountain. At that time, Zhang Qing and Dong Pingping had not gone up the mountain, and Song Jiang and others never thought that Zhang Qing and Dong Pingping would go up the mountain. Song Jiang and others originally thought that they would select a few of the subordinate leaders to make up the number of one hundred and eight people, but Zhang Qing and Dong Pingping came. At that time, only No. 15 and No. The name was not engraved on the line, so the names of Zhang Qing and Dong Ping were engraved in it, so Dong Ping was among the five tiger generals, but ranked fifteenth, far away from Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Hu Yanzhuo. Because the stele has already been engraved a long time ago, and there is no way to change it. As for the people who were originally appointed on the fifteenth and sixteenth, one of them is Sun Li.

and many more……

There are many explanations, and many of them are wild and unconstrained. In fact, to Li Yan, these explanations are all meaningless.

What is meaningful to Li Yan is:

[-]. Xie Zhen and Xie Bao are indeed rare field army leaders. With them, we can consider building a field infantry.

Second, Sun Li is very capable and self-motivated.

[-]. To win the eight leaders of the Dengzhou Department, for Li Yan, who is currently extremely short of leaders, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

As for Sun Li's character, it depends on where to look.

That's right, for the sake of his own future, Sun Li can disregard family affection, and for the sake of the overall situation, he can do whatever it takes.

But from Li Yan's point of view, these are actually not a big deal, and they are still good things - people like Sun Li are often the easiest to control and the best to use.

In addition, Sun Li did not take action to rescue Zhen Jiebao. You can say that he is indifferent to his family and unwilling to meddle in his own business. You can also say that he abides by the law and does not easily break the rules.

Li Yan's current identity is the maker and defender of the rules. He likes people who obey the rules like Sun Li the most, and what he dislikes the most are those heroes who break the rules at every turn.

In short, there may be some problems with Sun Li's character, but Li Yan will not use it. Of course, for Sun Li, Li Yan will not vigorously promote Sun Li as he did for those leaders with excellent character, but he will definitely give it to him. Sun Li a fair chance.

Among the eight members of the Dengzhou Department, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Gu Dasao, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, and Lehe, the one Li Yan admires and looks forward to the most is not actually Sun Li, nor Xie Zhen and Xie. Bao, let alone Sun Xin and Mrs. Gu, but the most inconspicuous Lehe.

Lehe is the Dengzhou department, no, it should be said that the entire Shuibo Liangshan, the entire Shuihu, is the person who hides the deepest.

Clever, full of civil and military skills, and has a wide range of interests, he is extremely clever. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he successfully directed a big robbery, forced Sun Li to turn against him, and went undercover in Zhujiazhuang, laying the foundation for Song Jiang's first all-round victory in the downhill battle. established a solid foundation.

Yi Lehe's performance at this stage is actually not inferior to Yan Qing.

But Lehe after going up the mountain has not been reused.

As soon as the battle of Zhujiazhuang was over, Lehe was arranged to help Zhu Gui's hotel. This job was done until the [-] heroes in Liangshan lined up. Then he was reluctantly promoted to be Dai Zong's deputy and served as a report in the army. Chief of the Secret Infantry Chiefs.

Some people said that the reason why Lehe was not reused by Song Jiang was because Wu Yong was afraid of Lehe, fearing that Lehe would rob him of his position in the machine army.

Will Wu Yong be afraid of Lehe?is it possible?
may.

To be honest, comparing Lehe with Yanqing is actually underestimating Lehe.

It is true that Yan Qing is clever, but he is just a little cleverness and wisdom, while Lehe is the real great wisdom and the talent of a military adviser.

Le He's performance in "Water Margin Eternal Legend" can only be described as shocking. He repeatedly plotted and made extraordinary achievements. As the saying goes, the general is planning but not being brave. Talented, with Wu Xuexue instructing military aircraft, Lu Yuanwai and other ordinary people, Liang Shanbo has achieved the situation. I am a mere introduction, relying entirely on the advice of my virtuous brother, and it is not a fluke to come overseas and become this foundation.

That is to say, Li Jun was able to become the king of Siam because of Lehe's planning. May I ask, how does Yan Qing compare with such Lehe?

The most rare thing about Lehe is that he has a fearless spirit of sacrifice. Song Jiang sent him and Xiao Rang to Gao Qiu as hostages. Even though he knew that the trip would be life-threatening, he still did not hesitate.

In addition, Lehe is a person who is free and easy, and does not fight. Even though he has the talent of a military adviser, he can still manage the hotel or do some chores of singing.

It can be said that Lehe basically has no obvious shortcomings.

In fact, more than half of the reason why Li Yan came to recruit the Dengzhou Department was because of Lehe.

After Zong Ze escaped, Li Yan was in no mood to stay in Dengzhou anymore, so he handed Dengzhou over to Jiang Jing and Cheng Wanli, while he brought Lehe, Sun Li and others back to Shuibo Liangshan by land ...
