In the ancient novels, there are many fictional famous generals, whose deeds are not found in the historical records, but are characters created by the author's own imagination. However, although they are fictional characters in the novel, their deeds have been passed down for a long time. And in modern times, their stories have been made into film and television works and loved by people.
Today I will tell you about several ancient generals who often appear on the screen, these five generals in history do not exist at all, they are all fictional characters, don't be fooled by TV dramas anymore!
The character of Li Yuanba has appeared in many Sui and Tang Romance novels, such as "Speaking of Tang", "Biography of Xing Tang", "Sui and Tang Dynasty", etc. In these novels, he is portrayed as the first fierce general of the Sui and Tang dynasties, ranking first among the eighteen good men of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the legend is that he is the reincarnation of the golden-winged dapeng eagle in the sky, brave and invincible.
After the rendering of these Sui and Tang Dynasty novels, Li Yuanba's image has transcended mortals, and can almost be called a land immortal. For example, in the Battle of Siming Mountain, he single-handedly defeated the 2.3 million troops of the Eighteen-Way Anti-King. Later, in the Battle of Purple Mountain, not only killed Yuwen Chengdu, but also fought at the same time 1.85 million iron riders crying father and mother collapsed.
The historical prototype of Li Yuanba is actually Li Yuan's third son, Li Xuanba, a child who died early at the age of fifteen, who died of illness before Li Yuan's Jinyang army, and did not participate in the process of tang dynasty domination at all.
Luo Cheng is also a character in the Sui and Tang dynasty series of novels, appearing in many Sui and Tang novels. He was fictionalized as the son of Luo Yi, a general of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and was also a cousin of Qin Qiong, proficient in marksmanship, and the seventh good man of the Sui and Tang dynasties. In the novel, Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others married in Jia Jia Lou and ranked last. Later, after joining the Wagang Army, he helped the Wagang Army to break through the Long Snake Array and the Bronze Banner Array, and won the Crown Prince's Crown during the Anti-Wang Assembly.
After the defeat of the Wagang army, Luo Cheng threw himself into Li Shimin's command after a series of twists and turns, and was finally framed by Li Jiancheng, and was led by Liu Heimin to zhou Xipo silt river and shot with a random arrow. Luo Cheng's prototype Luo Shixin was indeed a fierce general in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and his ending was the same as Luo Cheng's, in the Battle of Huanshui, the city was destroyed and captured, and finally killed by Liu Heimin.
Yuwen Chengdu is also a fictional character in the Sui and Tang dynasty novels, who is the son of Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenhua. Because of his high martial arts, he was awarded the title of Grand General of Tianbao by Yang Guang, and he was also given a gold medal of "the world's first horizontal courage and invincibility". However, when he competed with Li Yuanba, this gold medal was lost to Li Yuanba, and he could only relegate to the position of the second good man of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Yuwen Chengdu is the representative of Yu Zhong in the novel, although he also understands in his heart that Yang Guang is a dark jun, but he still wants to protect Yang Guang. Needless to say, such characters usually end up in tragic ends, yuwen Chengdu was finally killed by Li Yuanba in the Battle of Purple Mountain. However, although Yuwen Chengdu is too foolish and loyal, he is still a hero and a good man.
In addition to these three fictional characters in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there are also Xue Dingshan and Yang Zongbao, who may be fictional in the novels, and they are from the novels "Xue Dingshan Zhengxi" and "Yang Jia Will Yanyi" respectively. These novels were very popular in ancient times, and the characters they portrayed were also highly skilled in martial arts and unmatched in loyalty and righteousness, so they could be accepted and recognized by people. Of course, for the fictional characters of these novels, they should be treated separately from historical figures.
Now many people have only watched TV but have not read the original work, and they do not know the historical background of these characters, mistakenly believing that these famous players are real. There are even people who read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so that it is easy to make jokes. However, although these characters are fictional, their spiritual qualities are still commendable and have been unanimously recognized by people, and their stories will continue to be passed down in the future.
