"The Forty-six Friends of Wagang Village" are like the 108 generals of Liangshan Bo in "Water Margin". Among these people are Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Shan Xiongxin, etc. Although all of these people have outstanding martial arts skills, when it comes to true heroes, there is actually only one. That is Wang Bodang.
Wang Bodang, nicknamed Yong Sanlang, was a general of the Wagang Army in the late Sui Dynasty and the veteran of Wagang Village. He was the marksman of Wagang Village, and he once shot and killed Wei Wentong, a nine-tiao hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with one arrow. Wang Bodang was devoted to Wagang Village and never thought of betraying Wagang Village. Later, when the Wagang army failed and Li Mi was desperate, everyone else left one after another. People like Qin Shubao Cheng Yaojin and others chose to join Li Shimin, but Wang Bodang still chose to stay with Li Mi.
In history, Wang Bo was a loyal general beside Li Mi. Later, Uncle Qin Bao, Cheng Yaojin and others defected to Li Shimin. Wang Bodang was left. In order for Wang Bodang to rely on him, Li Shimin did not hesitate to kneel down to show his love for talents. Wang Bodang vowed to follow Li Mi to the death, showing that one general would not serve two masters. In the end, he and Li Mi were shot to death by Tang Jun in Duanmi. Jian. Mencius said: Wealth and honor cannot be fornicated, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot be surrendered. This is called a true man. Uncle Wang deserves this sentence. However, the loyal Wang Bodang followed the unreasonable Li Mi to death for the sake of his own loyalty and justice.
Ning Xue Taoyuan three sworn brothers, not burning a furnace of incense in Wagang. What it means is that the sworn vows should be as sincere as the three sworn vows in Taoyuan, and should not be like the forty-six friends in Wagang Village, each with their own thoughts. Among these forty-six friends were heroes from the forest, officials from the royal palace, government servants, sons-in-law of marquises, and businessmen. Because of their different views and different ultimate goals, they turned to internal fighting and Wagang Village fell apart.
