Zhu Wu is a counselor and strategist after Liangshan Juyi, and he has planned several times before. After wooing, Zhu served as Lu Junyi's strategist, and recognized the Liao army's position many times, but Wu Yong didn't know much. As for Wu Yong, He Tao soon outwitted the birth class to solve the case. As a result, he can only go to Liangshan with Classical and others. Since then, Wu Yong also earned Li Ying's family to go up the mountain and write Tibetan poems at Lu Junyi's house, which led to the destruction of Lu Junyi's family; Wu Yong even made mistakes. He let Xiao Jean and Jin Dajian forge Cai Jing's letters, which almost killed Song Jiang and Dai Zhong.
Based on these, many readers think that Zhu Wu's ability far exceeds that of Wu Yong, and only Zhu Wu is a Liangshan strategist among Liangshan heroes, and Wu Yong can only cheat people. Many readers also lambasted Wu Yong as a "head strategist", "suppressed Zhu Wu", "harmed the Lu Junyi family" and "only harmed the liar". Some people even call Wu Yong a "useless person" and "a teacher without great talent" based on his name and his former professional teacher.
So, what is Wu Yong's ability? Does he really only know how to cheat, but he can't plan? How should we evaluate him? Is Zhu Wu's ability really high? Can he be "Wu Hangyong" as some readers said? With these questions, let's analyze the concrete achievements in the original work and the author's attitude, and see who is better, Wu Yong or Zhu Wu.
First, from the original content.
To see the ability of Wu Yong and Zhu Wu, it is best to look at their record and make a comparison. Whoever has more and stronger records can see their ability at a glance. Next, let's talk about Zhu Wu's record.
1.？ Zhu Wu's record
Before woo, Zhu Wu's record is not much, just three times.
The first time was a bitter plan. When Chen Da, who went to borrow grain, passed through Shijiazhuang, he had a fight with Shi Jin and was captured alive. Zhu can't, with risks, he and Yang Chun tied themselves, please history into the three of them together to the yamen. Shi Jin felt the loyalty of these three men, released Chen Da, and made friends with them, thus destroying Shijiazhuang, and he himself fled to the Jianghu. Strategically speaking, Zhu Wu was successful, but Shi Jin participated in it. History entered the Jianghu, and finally chose to become an outlaw and spend less time in Huashan.
The second time was the Iowa War. After Shi became an outlaw, he helped the painter Wang Yi. Shi Jin learned that Wang Yi's daughter was taken away by Huazhou Secretariat and went to assassinate him alone, but unfortunately she was not successfully caught. The original book said that Zhu Wu "had no plan" and didn't take any action. Later, in order to save Shi Jin, he was also assassinated, but he was still captured alive. Finally, it was Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others who earned a golden bell to hang them, and then they broke through Huazhou and rescued Shi Jin and Lu.
The third time was the Battle of Mangdang Mountain. Liangshan wants to break Fan Rui, Li Gungun and Xiang Chong of Mangdang Mountain. At that time, Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Chen Da and Yang Chun of Shaohua Mountain had joined Liangshan, and Shi Jin volunteered to attack Mangdang Mountain with Zhu Wu and others. However, when the demon king Fan Rui didn't use magic, Shi Jin was defeated and almost injured. Chen Da was shot with a knife, but Zhu Wu showed no performance and had no plan at all. Finally, Gongsun Sheng broke Mangdang Mountain.
It can be said that before going to Liangshan, Zhu Wu didn't act twice, but once, and barely succeeded. When Gao Qiu was captured alive, Zhu Wuceng suggested that Sung River find Su Taiwei to help complete the great cause of harness. But Wu Yong also saw that Gao Qiu was ungrateful and would not help Liangshan woo.
After wooing, Zhu Wu performed a lot, sometimes missed and sometimes excelled.
For example, in the battle against Liao, Zhu Wu saw through Taiyi Sancai Array, Heluo Four Elephants Array, Round Bagua Array and Eight Bursts, and later recognized Taiyi Mixed Sky Array arranged by Yan. But Zhu Wu just saw through the law, but didn't crack it. In addition, Zhu Wu also broke Liuhua Town and took Yulingguan.
Apart from Zhu Wu's performance these three times, Zhu Wu was not very good at other times.
For example, Zhu Wu once arranged "Kun to Peng array". According to him, this array is changeable and powerful, but in fact it doesn't play any role at all.
Four generals, follow the trend; The army coming up from the northwest stabbed the future; The anti-army of the brigade is like a mountain. It is anxious for the future, and the formation there has changed. The people of the three armed forces are separated by seven and eight, and you and I can't help each other, leaving only Lu Junyi riding a horse and holding a gun to fight over there.
As a result of this war, Zhu Wu's law was broken, and Lu Junyi lost contact with the army, and was in distress twice, once with the four generals who did it, and once with the Liao army, which was heavily armed. If it weren't for Lu Junyi's bravery, he would have died twice as a coach.
In addition, in the battle of Dushuguan, Zhou Tong was killed, Jong Li was injured and Dong Ping was injured in his left arm; Before the battle of Zhangzhou, Zhu Wu anticipated that the enemy would rob the village and made arrangements in advance, but he was highly penetrated (although he was highly penetrated, he was persuaded by Pang Wanchun), and Zhu Wu finally defeated the enemy.
During the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, Zhu Wu or Lu Junyi conquered only seven cities: Xijing, Jinning, Fenyang, Xuanzhou, Huzhou, Deqing and Dushangguan.
To sum up, we will find that Zhu Wu is only good at knowing the array, but has no ability to break it, and his own disposal is also very general. He had a wonderful performance, but rarely, and his performance was generally worse. He can only be regarded as an ordinary strategist.
2.？ Wu Yong's record
Wu Yong made great achievements before and after the middle school entrance examination.
Before Wu 'an, Wu Yong played a game of "outwitting the birth program", cheated Yang Zhi, and took away the golden ball baby worth100000 yuan. Although it was finally exposed, it was strategically successful. He had planned to defeat Huang An's 2,000 troops and capture Huang An alive. When I hit Zhujiazhuang for the third time, Wu Yong's design cooperated with Sun Lili and finally defeated Zhujiazhuang. Wu Yong played an important role in the battle of Gaotangzhou. He not only met Gao Lian twice, defeated him and shot him, but also ambushed him in advance, directly killing 300 magic soldiers in Gao Lian. Finally, Wu pretended to be reinforcements, attacked Gaotangzhou, and Lei Heng killed Gao Lian.
There is also the battle of Qingzhou breaking the serial horse; The battle of Huazhou, a dozen famous houses, two dozen famous houses, the battle of Zengtou City, the battle of Dongping House, the battle of Dongchangfu, two wins in Tongguan, two losses in Gao Qiu and three losses in Gao Qiu were all Wu Yong's ideas. Tong Guan was captured by Wu Yong and Song Jiang. In these battles, Wu Yong also designed to capture Hu, Guan Sheng, ZQQ and other valiant soldiers alive.
After wooing Ann, Wu Yong also had many wonderful performances.
In the battle of Tanzhou, Song Jiang and Wu Yong jointly set a plan; Taking Bazhou is also Wu Yong's plan; There are too many battles in Youzhou, Runzhou, Yanjing, Wanzhou, Shannan, Jingnan, Dongchuan, Ande, Yun 'an, Nanfeng, Gaizhou, Zhaode, Xiangyuan, Taiyuan, Weisheng, Runzhou, Dantu, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Xiuzhou, Hangzhou, Zhou Mu and Zhangzhou, so I won't go into the specific process.
It can be found that Wu Yong has laid more than 20 cities, far exceeding Zhu Wu. Moreover, Wu Yong also saved Song Jiang several times, as well as Lu Junyi and Zhu Wu who were trapped and helpless.
Of course, Wu Yong is not always successful, and he sometimes misses. For example, it was wrong to save Song Jiang and Dai Zhong, and then remedial measures were taken, and finally Song Jiang and Dai Zhong were saved; In the battle of Hangzhou, Wu used two tricks, but failed to capture Hangzhou. Also lost SuoChao, Deng Fei, Liu Tang, three generals (first time in town, killed by a thousand-pound brake).
Looking at Wu Yong's record, we can find that he did everything except the miscalculation in the battle of Hangzhou. It can be said that Wu Yong used more than 30 tricks in his life, and he was successful at other times except for a few mistakes. In addition, the fineness of the original will also find that Wu Yong used his internal strength, concealed the sky and crossed the sea, waited for the opportunity to move, dealt with it, countered it, and connected with it, which was enough to show the cleverness of his strategist strategy.
Comparing their achievements, the answer to this question is self-evident, whether Zhu Wu is better or Wu Yong is better.
Second, from the author's point of view.
1.？ Judging from the author's account
As soon as Zhu Wu appeared, the author pointed out that he was "not very capable" (although the simplified version said "not very capable"). As for Zhu Wu's hymn, the author said, "This is comparable to Wu Yong, and Zhu Wu is a magical machine". A word "vice" is enough to show that Zhu Wu is not as good as Wu Yong. The meaning of this word even tells the position of Zhu Wu, who is only Wu Yong's deputy.
As soon as Wu Yong appeared, the author praised Wu Yong's "six towers and three strategies" with a poem "Linjiang Xian". Hidden in the chest are soldiers, and hidden in the abdomen are soldiers. Strategy dares to bully Zhuge Liang, but Chen Ping can't beat Zhuge Liang. "
At the beginning of the sixty-first chapter, the author praised Wu Yong's "chic black silk scarf wild clothes" with a song "Man Fang Ting", "Yu Lin was subdued, and the wind and thunder drove the tripod"; Seventy-six times, the author praised Wu Yong and others with the poem "Xijiang Moon". The gap between their compliments is enough to show that in the author's eyes, Wu Yong is more powerful than Zhu Wu.
2.？ From the origin of Water Margin
From the origin of Water Margin, it can also be proved that Wu Yong is stronger than Zhu Wu.
Wu Yong has appeared in Song Jiang's "Praise of Thirty-six People" and "Song Xuanhe's Legacy", and his position is already a strategist and a wise man. He even commanded Liangshan in the legacy of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty. In the Water Margin, when Song Jiang was sick, Wu Yong also temporarily took charge of Liangshan. As for the Water Margin in the Yuan Dynasty, Wu Yong was more active and had always been the strategist of Liangshan. As for Zhu Wu, there has been no him before, and he should be the author's original character, with the purpose of wooing Song Jiang and Lu Junyi in the later period, so that Lu Junyi has multiple divisions.
In fact, not only in Wen Tao's military strategy, Zhu Wu is inferior to Wu Yong, but even in martial arts, Zhu Wu is inferior to Wu Yong.
Although there is a saying that Zhu used double knives in the original work, he never used double knives and made no concrete achievements. His double knives and martial arts are just decorations. Wu Yong is different. The author not only repeatedly said that he was "both civil and military" and "a pair of copper chains hung around his waist, and both civil and military teachers were normal", but also mentioned that Wu used double chains.
Liu Tang thundered, and the two played fifty rounds, drawing a tie. In the front hall, Wu pulled the double chain and separated Liu Tang from Lei Heng. Although this can't explain how high Wu Yong's martial arts is, he can also be found to be a sharpshooter. After all, Lei Heng and Liu Tang are excellent foot soldiers.
