The wagang good man of the Sui and Tang dynasties has a high popularity in the folk, especially after the reprocessing of "Speaking of Tang" and "Sui and Tang Dynasties", it is even more well-known.
For example, Qin Qiong became one of the door gods, Cheng Yaojin became the "representative of the fu general", as well as Shan Xiongxin, who was righteous and thin and cloudy, but always looked like a cow, and the jade-faced cold gun That "killed the small pepper and did not let the one-headed garlic" and so on.
So do these vivid wagang good men exist in the canonical records? But all those who are famous have historical records or historical archetypes.
Let's say that the representative of the wagang good man: the five tiger generals of wagang, there are four versions in total, there are Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Wang Bodang, Cheng Yaojin, Wang Junke, Qiu Rui, Xie Yingdeng, You Junda, Luo Cheng, a total of nine wagang good han competition. One of the most recognized is the last version, namely: Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Cheng, and Wang Bodang.
This version of the Five Tiger Generals of Wagang, except for Luo Cheng, who is fictional but has historical archetypes, the other four are all well-known figures in the history. Among them, the most righteous is not Qin Qiong, but Wang Bodang. Although he was not as famous as the other four, he had the best relationship with Li Mi, the leader of Wagang Village.
For example, when Li Mi exchanged Yuxi for Xiao Meiniang, and the other wagang good men were sad and scattered, they all defected to Li Shimin, Wang Bodang still did not abandon it, and killed Xiao Meiniang in anger in order to wake up Li Mi.
The reason why Wang Bodang was shaped in this way was actually because in the main history, Wang Bodang was Li Mi's hardcore confidant. After Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong and defected to Li Yuan, he still followed. Later, Li Mi thought that Li Yuan wanted to kill himself and decided to rebel, but Wang Bodang still suffered with Gan, and eventually together with Li Mi, he was shot and killed by Sheng Yanshi.
Therefore, if we talk about righteousness, it is obvious that Wang Bodangbi cut off his own flesh and gave Li Ji (Xu Maogong) to Shan Xiongxin to eat, which also made people sigh.
So in the main history, the good Han of Wagang really appeared "Five Tiger Generals of Wagang"? The answer is no. Just as the "Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty" was born out of the "Four Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty", the same is the case with the Five Tigers of Wagang. In the main history, there are only "four great horses", and Li Mi, the leader of Wagang, once declared: "Can be (enemy) million soldiers." Let's go back to the source together to see which four big horses are riding.
First place: Qin Qiong
Qin Qiong had followed a total of six eldest brothers. The first eldest brother was the Sui Dynasty's famous future protector, who could be said to be the initial nobleman of Qin Qiong, who knew people with a discerning eye and determined that Qin Qiong would become a great instrument in the future. When Qin Qiong's mother died, Lai'er sent someone to mourn. Many people are confused: Is Qin Qiong a recruit egg, with no three heads and six arms, and no prominent background, why?
Lai Hu'er confessed, "This man is brave and courageous, and he must be rich and noble, so how can he be humbled?" ”
Qin Qiong's second eldest brother was Zhang Sutuo, who could be described as the nightmare of Wagang Mountain. Upon hearing that Zhang Sutuo had come to destroy Mount Wagang again, Zhai Rang, the first leader of Wagang, habitually wanted to run. At that time, Li Mi had already arrived, hurriedly stopped it, personally lined up his troops, and commanded the Wagang army not only defeated the Sui army for the first time, but also killed Zhang Sutuo.
Qin Qiong was under Zhang Sutuo at that time, and now that the boss was dead, he returned to the third eldest brother, Pei Renji. However, Pei Renji was again suspected and framed by the overseers, and Li Mi sent someone to lure him, so Pei Renji surrendered to Li Mi. So Li Mi became Qin Qiong's fourth eldest brother.
Li Mi had already heard of Qin Qiong's bravery, and ordered Qin Qiong to be a "horse in the tent" and became one of the four major horses of Li Mi's eight-thousand-year-old army. It was also at this time that Li Mi said, "These eight thousand people can be counted as a million." Later, when Li Mi fought Wang Shichong, he was shot and fell, and it was Qin Qiong who bravely stepped forward and saved Li Mi's life in the Wanma Army.
Unfortunately, Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, so Qin Qiong surrendered to Wang Shichong again, and Wang Shichong became Qin Qiong's fifth eldest brother. However, Qin Qiong did not look up to Wang Shichong, and when Li Shimin recruited Wang Shichong, together with Cheng Yaojin, he rebelled against the water and submitted to the sixth eldest brother, Li Shimin.
It was under Li Shimin that Qin Qiong sent out a dazzling light and became a "single king", and every time Li Shimin saw that the enemy would not be pleasing to the eye, he ordered Qin Qiong to go over and teach him how to behave. Qin Qiong also killed the enemy generals again and again without failing in his mission. Of course, Qin Qiong's most cattle battle was to defeat Wei Chi in the Battle of Meiliangchuan, and thus Qin Qiong suppressed Wei Chi laohei and became the first fierce general of Sui and Tang Dynasties!
Judging from Qin Qiong's experience, although he has followed six big brothers, it is a typical "gold will shine no matter where it is", and there is no phenomenon of being buried. It can be seen from this that Qin Qiong's fierceness cannot be hidden. Unfortunately, due to the fierceness, the body collapsed in his old age and died relatively early.
Second place: Cheng bites gold
Cheng's experience of biting Jin mostly overlapped with Qin Qiong's, but it was not as complicated as Qin Qiong's. After the great chaos of the Sui Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin organized a group of people and horses in order to protect his hometown from charcoal. When Li Mi led the Wagang army to shock the Sui and Tang rivers and lakes, Cheng Yaojin defected to Wagang Village, and was taken aback by Li Mi, and without saying a word, he let Cheng Yaojin also become a "horse in the tent" and became one of the four major horses of Wagang.
That is to say, contrary to the "Sui and Tang Dynasty", Cheng Yaojin was the latecomer of Wagangzhai and did not become a "Great Virtue Heavenly Son Mixed World Demon King" at all, let alone give way to Li Mi.
In this way, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong became "colleagues", and it was obvious that the brothers were very close and had a very good relationship, and they have been tied together since then. After the defeat of Li Mi's army, he surrendered to Wang Shichong. But how to see how to feel that Wang Shichong is unreliable, so he found Qin Qiong and said: "Brother, this Wang Shichong is the same as the old witch, not only does his words not count, but he is always nagging, and there is no future after him." Find another Lord. ”
It was at the suggestion of Cheng Yaojin that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin switched to Li Shimin. He became one of the fierce generals under Li Shimin. However, to be fair, although Cheng Biting Jin was brave, he was no better than Qin Qiong. But Cheng's sensitivity, of course, can also be understood as emotional intelligence, which is higher than Qin Qiong.'
In addition to persuading Qin Qiong to switch to Li Shimin, before the change of Xuanwu Gate, Cheng Yaojin, together with Wei Chigong and Changsun Wuji, forced Li Shimin to act almost every day. At the same time, what is even more amazing is that when Cheng Yaojin actually married the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the daughter of the famous noble family: the Qinghe Cui clan, became his wife, which was the only one among the good men of Wagang.
Perhaps it is precisely because of Cheng's high emotional intelligence that he knows how to advance and retreat, knows the trade-offs, so he has no heart and no lungs to live long. Therefore, he was shaped by the "Sui and Tang Dynasty Yanyi" as "the world's first blessed general", there is nothing wrong with it!
Third place: Pei Xingyu
For Pei Xingjian, the author has previously described in detail, he is a million enemies in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the "Sui and Tang Dynasty", the historical prototype of Pei Yuanqing, the third ranked good man.
After he returned to Li Mi with his father Pei Renji, his position was above Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, and in addition to becoming one of the "Four Great Horsemen" and commanding Li Mi's elite internal army, he was also given the title of Shangzhu Guo and duke of Dai County.
It can be seen from the Pei Xingyu family that he was from the famous Hedong Pei clan in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Therefore, it is no wonder that Qin Qiong and Cheng bite Jin than they are. At the same time, this is probably why Cheng Biting Jin would pull Qin Qiong to run, but did not find Pei Xingyu - but this does not mean that Cheng Biting Jin hated Pei Xingyu, because Cheng Biting Jin had sacrificed his life to save Pei Xingyu.
Later, after Li Mi's army was defeated and Pei Xingyu surrendered, Wang Shichong, in order to win him over, gave his niece Xu to him. However, because Pei Xingyu and Pei Renji opposed Wang Shichong's claim to the throne, they were eventually killed by Wang Shichong and killed his three clans.
Fourth place: Rossin
Luo Shixin is the historical prototype of Luo Cheng in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He had the closest relationship with Qin Qiong, which is why Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong, in the "Sui and Tang Dynasty", became cousins.
The two were both generals under Zhang Sutuo, and after Zhang Sutuo's death, they followed Pei Renji, and then followed Pei Renji to Wagang, becoming one of the four major horsemen under Li Mi, and with Li Mi, wang Shichong was fought.
But at this moment, Luo Shixin broke up with Qin Qiong, and he was wounded and captured during the battle. Wang Shichong liked this young fierce general very much, and in order to get Luo Shixin, he was rewarded and ate and slept with him. As a result, Luo Shixin followed Wang Shichong, while Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin still followed Li Mi.
With the defeat of Li Mi, the contradictions between Wang Shichong and Luo Shixin began to appear, and Luo Shixin led his troops to surrender to Li Shimin, earlier than Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. Therefore, Luo Shixin became the first fierce general under Li Shimin, and was deeply liked by Li Shimin.
Unfortunately, later when Li Shimin fought Liu Heimin, Luo Shixin was captured in order to rescue The City of Pushui, vowed to die, and was killed by Liu Heimin, only 23 years old.
