Wu Yong's main plot

Wu Yong was originally a private school teacher in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Jeju City, Shandong Province, but he was familiar with Wen Tao's military strategy and resourcefulness, and made friends with Classical since childhood, which helped him outwit the famous Liang Zhongshu's birthday program for Cai Jing, so he went to Liangshan. With his talent, Lin Chonghuo merged with Wang Lun and helped Liangshan break Zhujiazhuang. After the death of Classical, he helped Song Jiang to sit on the Liangshan Castellan and attacked Zengtou City and Daming House.

On Liangshan, he was popular and surrendered many leaders. After Liangshan Juyi, Tong Guan lost two times and Gao Qiu won three times, which promoted the process of wooing. After accepting enlistment, he fought with the Liangshan army in the south and north. After suppressing several forces, he was appointed as the special envoy of Wu Shengjun. After learning that Song Jiang was killed, he hanged himself with Huarong Road in front of Song Jiang's tomb in Guoerwa, outside the south gate of Chuzhou, and the body was buried on the left side of Song Jiang's tomb.

Extended data

Wu Yong's personality: In Water Margin, the overall image of Wu Yong is the embodiment of wisdom, and the author makes Wu Yong's heroic talents slightly vivid. The author puts the historical figures in this particular period in the middle of the peasant uprising at the end of Song Dynasty, which shows the complexity of their characters.

Wu Yong's character is realistic. Although Water Margin strengthened Wu Yong's intellectual character, it did not portray him as a simple king of wisdom. Although he has the talent to help the world, he lacks the ambition to help the world. Wu Yong is a "man of one village", although he does not have the harmony and diversity of feudal intellectuals, which makes him realistic.

Not content with the status quo, but his ambition of doing justice for heaven can only be realized by Liangshan Rebels led by Song Jiang. Otherwise, no matter how wise Wu Yong is, he can only be a mediocre rural teacher.
