If Luo Guanzhong continues well and can be widely recognized by the majority of readers, then it is not impossible to think that "Water Margin" was co-authored by him and Shi Nai'an, and also use the hundred copies as the original of "Water Margin", but this is obviously not the case. At this time in China, the 70 editions still had the largest number of readers, so the preconceptions caused by the 100 editions were not common, and readers were able to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the 100 editions and the "Ancient Water Margin" more fairly.

The most important thing in the novel is the characterization, and those who support "Guben Water Margin" generally believe that the last 30 chapters of the 100 chapters are not only much less realistic than the first 70 chapters, but also none of the images can even be consistent with the first 70 chapters. Most of them are pale and powerless, and they have no character to speak of, and the few characters who are okay are already the same as the images in the first seventy episodes. Take Li Kui as an example, he is the most well-written character in the last 30 chapters of the 100 chapters, but he has been completely out of shape

Li Kui in the first seventy episodes is a naïve, naïve, illiterate, bold and reckless person. He is straightforward and fast-talking, even with Song Jiang often have verbal conflicts, although he admires Song Jiang very much, but never welcomes the horse, for example, at the beginning of the 66th chapter, he wrote: "I saw Li Kui shouting: 'Brother is not straight! The day before yesterday, I was willing to sit, I sit, and today I let someone else. This bird's chair is really made of gold, just let it go. Don't beg me to kill you! Song Jiang shouted: "You bastard! Lu Junyi hurriedly bowed and said, "If my brother is bitter, Lu will not be safe." Li Kui shouted again: "If my brother becomes an emperor." Lu Yuanwai is a prime minister, we all live in the Golden Palace today, and we are so chaotic. It's just a robber in the water pool, it's better to continue. Song Jiang was so angry that he couldn't speak. ”

This passage shows Li Kui's distinct personality: he speaks straightforwardly, undisguised, and persists to the end as long as he thinks he is right. Although he respects Song Jiang more than his own brother, he will still argue when he has different views, and he will never give in or be convinced, and he will not take care of Song Jiang's face in words. I don't know how to take care of face.

But in the seventy-first chapter of the hundred-fold book. Li Kui said, "Are you afraid that I dare to struggle? My brother doesn't complain about killing me, and he doesn't hate me for killing me. Except for him, the sky is not afraid! "I don't dare to scold him in my dreams. When he wants to kill me, let him kill me. "That's the case. I actually learned to pat on the back. It's only been a few times. How big of a change has it been?

And Li Kui doesn't know much about the truth, once he is self-righteous, he has always persevered to the end. Therefore, he was repelled by Song Jiang, and he was not too convinced, but after this episode, he "Nuo Nuo retreated repeatedly", where is there still a shadow of Li Kui? You must know that Li Kui is the most successful character in the last thirty chapters of the 100 chapters, and there are still so many failures, not to mention other characters. The image of Li Kui in the last 50 episodes of "Guben Water Margin" is basically the same as the first 70 episodes, for example, in the 71st chapter, it is written, "I saw the black whirlwind Li Kui break out of his seat, and he called out to the general: 'I have never seen a bird like a bird, and I have a headache to death!'" A plague beast, at least he only ate one meal of meat, and pushed it away. Lu Yuanwai is serious, it's yours, just push it back and forth! I'm so annoyed that I slashed this beast with an axe, and you don't have much to say. Song Jiang shouted: "The black guy knows everything, come and talk more, shut up quickly, otherwise you will cut off your head!" Li Kuicai pouted and retreated. ”

This passage reproduces Li Kui's rudeness and straightforwardness, and the sentence "pouting and retreating" vividly shows Li Kui's unconvinced naivety. Moreover, in "The Ancient Book of Water Margin", not only Li Kui writes well, and all the characters are lifelike, but also the character is basically the same as the first seventy chapters, which is very different from the hundred chapters

In addition to character building, some people pointed out that the last 30 episodes of the 100 times ignore the relationship between the characters, and the reasons for the 100 and 8 generals to go up the mountain are also different. Although the existence of this intimacy is not emphasized in the first seventy chapters of "Water Margin", the author pays attention to it everywhere in his pen, and writes about the relationship within the rebel army in a very realistic way

For example, after Chao Gai went up the mountain, he rarely led troops to go out, but later when he went to fight Zengtou City, he ordered twenty leaders, among which Lin Chong, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Bai Sheng, Du Qian, and Song Wan were the first to follow Chao Gai, and the three Ruans were originally naval troops, and it was not suitable to fight Zengtou City, but because they were cronies, they also brought them. This shows that the author pays great attention to human relationships.

The author adopts the Spring and Autumn penmanship when writing about these intimate relationships, which is very subtle and often ignored by ordinary people. But in the hundred rounds, I didn't notice a little bit at all, and the relationship between the heroes in the last thirty times became exactly the same, and there was no difference between relatives and aliens at all. Some of the descriptions make obvious mistakes, such as the relationship between Yan Qing and Li Kui. In the last thirty episodes of the hundred rounds, Yan Qing relied on his sumo wrestling skills and often teased Li Kui to make him obey him later.

And this is undoubtedly a great failure: first, Yan Qing is Lu Junyi's henchman, and he is extremely smart. And Lu Junyi is weak because of his new ascent to the mountain, although he is in a high position, he still has to act cautiously. Therefore, Yan Qing thought for Lu Junyi, and had to act cautiously, how could he dare to provoke the black whirlwind Li Kui lightly? Second, although Li Kui is not good at sumo, his martial arts are never under Yan Qing, and he has a violent personality, kills people when he moves, and can he make Yan Qing tease? Third, Li Kui is Song Jiang's life-saving benefactor and Song Jiang's confidant. Bullying Li Kui is suspected of bullying Song Jiang, and Yan Qing can deal with it carelessly? Fourth, after carefully reviewing the first seventy times, there were only two people who dared to scold Li Kui, one was Song Jiang and the other was Dai Zong. These two people are not as good as Li Kui in martial arts, but they are both Li Kui's elder brothers, they scold Li Kui like a brother scolding a naughty boy, and Li Kui has to obey if he is not convinced. Everyone else is respectful of Li Kui. Although he is the second in line, he calls him "Brother Li". Even when Wu Yong took Li Kui to the Daimyo's mansion, he was "vomited bitterly" all the way, and he could only persuade him with good words and "complain". Yan Qing is new to the mountain, how dare she teach Li Kui a lesson at will?

In the last 50 episodes of "Guben Water Margin", like the first 70 episodes, the intimacy and proximity of interpersonal relationships are noticed everywhere in a subtle way. For example, after Lu Junyi woke up from a nightmare in the 71st episode, he first found his henchman Yan Qing to complain, and Yan Qing looked for Shi Xiu to decompose, Weishenme only looked for Shi Xiu, not Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong and others? Because Shi Xiu once robbed the law field alone to save Lu Junyi, it was a friend of life and death. Shi Xiu told Yang Xiong about this again, and Yang Xiong was Shi Xiu's brother in life and death. Zuihou kept the secret by these four men. The author inadvertently sorted out the intimacy of several heroes (to be continued......
