China has a long history and too many heroes to list. Behind every hero is a thrilling story, but also has inexplicable regrets. With the passage of time, the real characters in history have long been hidden by the traces of time, and when our young generation contacts their stories, it is more film and television dramas, and by watching the characters in film and television dramas, we can touch the heroes in history.
Of course, film and television dramas are not equivalent to history, especially for the needs of the plot, or for the sake of character shaping, there will be many fictional components in the play. In addition to film and television dramas, earlier, there were also a large number of folk texts, novels, and operas, which have always affected the vast number of ordinary people. Therefore, among the heroes that people have heard by word of mouth, some of them are not real people in history, they are fictionalized by people. Today, I will talk about five well-known great generals, and there are no such people in history.
1. Li Yuanba, the first fierce general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties
When it comes to the fierce generals, everyone thinks of Li Yuanba, who is the first fierce general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Because in our impression, Li Yuanba is skinny, pale, but talented, born with two arms, infinite strength, the weapon used when he grows up is a pair of drum urn gold hammers, legend has a hammer weighing 400 pounds, he plays very easily, it is difficult to imagine what it would be like to be hit by such a heavy hammer.
Li Yuanba was the fourth son of Li Yuan, the emperor of Tang Dynasty, and the younger brother of Li Shimin, who made great military achievements for the establishment of Li TangJiangshan. It is said that he alone used the pair of drum urns and golden hammers to fight against the 18th road anti-king, repelled 2.3 million rebels, and achieved outstanding battle achievements, ranking first in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As for other large and small battle achievements, there are countless of them.
Everything about Li Yuanba is recorded in the novel commentary, and it is said that the book has been passed down by ear. There is no such person in history. In real history, Li Yuan's fourth son, whose real name was Li Xuanba, was physically weak, fell ill and died at a young age, had no divine power at all, and did not have so many battle achievements.
Second, sui and tang ranked second in the good Han Yuwen Chengdu
In the impression of our general public, Yuwen Cheng is the son of Yu Wenhua, who looks like a tiger and a tiger, has extraordinary martial arts, and uses four hundred pounds of phoenix wings and gold to make weapons. This famous Tianbao general, with outstanding achievements in his life, has never been defeated by others except for his lifelong enemy Li Yuanba. When the Eighteenth Route rebellion attacked Yangzhou, Yuwen Chengdu joined forces with his father Yu Wenhua and killed the Sui Emperor.
Yu Wenhua was one of the most powerful forces in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and in real history, he did kill the Sui Emperor. Everyone will think that Yuwen Chengdu is also a real person, but the truth is that he is also a fictional character in the novel, and there is no such person in history.
Third, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the seventh best Han Luocheng
If you want to choose a good-looking person among the generals, then Luo Cheng will definitely be on the list. He has a call called Cold Face Cold Gun Pretty Luo Cheng, which means that Luo Cheng is a handsome guy with a very cold facial expression, and the weapon he uses is a long gun.
Luo Cheng is the son of Luo Yi and a cousin of Qin Qiong, with exquisite long gun skills and excellent martial arts. His highest moment was the Great Broken Word Long Snake Array, thus defeating Yang Lin. In fact, all these records about Luo Cheng only exist in the novel description, and there is no Luo Cheng in history. Some people have speculated from various descriptions that Luo Shixin may be the prototype of Luo Cheng. Both of them were military generals who used long guns, and their relationship with Qin Qiong was very deep.
Fourth, Xue Rengui's son Xue Dingshan
There is a legend about Xue Dingshan, along with his father Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui was a white tiger star, and his main purpose in his downfall was to help Li Shimin, the King of Qin, unify the country. Not long after Xue Dingshan was born, the front-line war began to be tight, and after Xue Rengui received the order, he quickly rushed back to the front line.
On the way back to the front line, Xue Rengui encountered a great white tiger, and it was his newborn son Xue Dingshan who was holding it in his mouth. Xue Rengui was shocked, but he immediately regained his composure, so he aimed his bow at the white tiger and shot an arrow, but the arrow hit Xue Dingshan. This incident later became a feud between father and son.
When he grew up, Xue Dingshan learned a skill, and he led the soldiers to fight very well, so he helped his father Xue Rengui to fight against the enemy. One day after that, Xue Dingshan saw a great white tiger lying on his father's body in the distance, and he thought that the white tiger would be unfavorable to his father. So without thinking much, he immediately raised his arrow and opened his bow, shooting at the white tiger. But unexpectedly, the white tiger did not shoot, but shot at the father's key part. In this way, Xue Rengui died.
This story is also the plot in the biography of the novel, which was fabricated and processed by later generations, and there is no xue dingshan in history. If it must be far-fetched to say that there is such a person, then it can only be said that the prototype of the character of Xue Dingshan is Xue Ne. The real Xue Ne in history is xue Rengui's son, who fought side by side with his father to quell the war and made important contributions to the stability of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty.
5. Yang Zongbao, the son of Yang Liulang, was the general of the Yang family
The story of Yang Jiajian is familiar Chinese and has a very far-reaching impact. In order to resist the attack of the Liao state, the whole family went to the battlefield, and men, women and children were loyal to the country. In so many stories, Yang Zongbao is the most well-known one, because his father is Yang Liulang Yang Yanzhao, his mother is Cheshire Lord, and his grandfather is Yang Ye.
Yang Zongbao's wife, Mu Guiying, her fame is greater, and the legend of the story is stronger. Of course, the couple said that there were things written in the novel, and they did not exist in the real history.
We find Yang Ye's grandson Yang Wenguang in real historical figures, whose historical feats are very similar to Yang Zongbao's, fighting against the Liao state and defending the frontier. So we all think that Yang Wenguang is the historical prototype of Yang Zongbao. Of course, Yang Wenguang's wife is not Mu Guiying, Mu Guiying is completely a fictional character, and even the prototype cannot be found in history.
epilogue
China's history has a long history, the change of dynasties, the chaos of nationalities, a large number of heroes have emerged, they have written a strong stroke in history with their martial arts achievements, and some heroes have even influenced the course of history. Many real heroes are too far away from the lives of ordinary people, but people yearn for heroes, so a batch of creators have carried out a lot of artistic processing on the basis of historical figures, and imagined many heroes that we are familiar with.
These characters are gradually known and familiar to the public, and even make people think that they are real beings. Like Li Yuanba, Yuwen Chengdu, Luo Cheng, Xue Rengui, and Yang Zongbao mentioned in the article, they are all fictional novelists, not real historical figures, but this does not affect people's love and respect for them!
