"Filial piety seems to be dedicated, making friends Sai Meng tastes, matating on both sides of the Yellow River, fighting the six provinces of Shandong, and double-handed general Shen Fist Taibao" refers to a member of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties- Qin Qiong Qin Shubao.
In the wars of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, Qin Qiong successively followed Lai Hu'er, Pei Renji, Zhang Sutuo, and Li Mi, became Li Shimin's generals and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, participated in the change of Xuanwu Gate, and finally painted Ling Yange. To make such a great contribution, it should be in Li Shimin's dynasty of might and might, and he should be arrogant, why does he rarely show his face. We may wish to look for the answer from Qin Qiong's life experience.
Qin Qiong's status was not high under Lai'er's men, but after Qin's mother's death, Lai'er sent someone to mourn. Many people went to question lai'er, soldiers who died in the army and many relatives in the family died, why they only went to mourn Mother Qin. Lai Hu'er said that Qin Qiongxiao was brave and fierce, and had ambition and integrity, and he must be able to rely on himself to achieve fame, and he could not be treated as a person who had always been humble.
It can be seen that Qin Qiong had already shown his innate courage and courage when his identity was still very humble in the early days, and he had won the respect of others, indicating that Qin Qiong already possessed the most basic quality of a warrior - the brave spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice. This led him to success and hastened his decline.
Sure enough, in December of the tenth year of the Sui Dynasty (614 AD), Lu Yue of Zhuo County, and December of the tenth year of the Sui Dynasty (614 AD), Lu Yueming of Zhuo County led a rebellion of 100,000 people, and Qin Qiong accompanied Qi County to guard Zhang Sutuo to negotiate. The two sides have been fighting each other for many days and cannot win. Zhang Sutuo came up with a plan, pretending to retreat, luring Lu Yueming to pursue, ambushing a unit to surprise Lu Yueming's camp, and then leading the main force to pursue after him.
But ambushes are dangerous, so who's going to go? After Zhang Sutuo told his subordinates about the plan, everyone looked at each other. At this time, Qin Qiong stepped forward and was willing to fight an ambush. So Qin Qiong led more than a thousand people to follow the plan, and indeed defeated Lu Yueming. During the battle, Qin Qiong took the lead in slashing the flag and taking the lead in breaking into the enemy camp and setting fire to it, burning more than thirty enemy camps overnight. Lu Yueming fled with only more than a hundred cavalry. This battle fully reflected Qin Qiong's spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and being brave and good at war.
Two years later, Qin Qiong accompanied Zhang Sutuo to conquer the Wagang army, but was ambushed, Zhang Sutuo was killed in battle, and Qin Qiong was able to escape the battle and the remnants of the battle were attached to Pei Renji, who was guarding the Tiger Prison.
Pei Renji was at odds with the overseer Yushi Xiaohuaijing, and Li Mi took the opportunity to appease Pei Renji, and in April of the thirteenth year of the Sui Dynasty (617 AD), Qin Qiong surrendered to Li Mi with Pei Renji. Li Mi appointed Qin Qiong as the horseman of the tent. In the fourteenth year of Daye (618 AD), in the war between Tongyu Culture and Culture, Li Mi was hit by a stray arrow and was dangerously captured by the enemy army, Qin Qiong led his troops to fight desperately to rescue Li Mi, and then collected remnants to defeat Yu Wenhua. This fierce battle seriously injured the Wagang army, but it once again proved Qin Qiong's courageous spirit.
After this battle, Li Mi was unprepared against Wang Shichong and was defeated by Wang Shichong's surprise attack. Qin Qiong was captured, and Wang Shichong, who surrendered, was made a general of Long Jun. In the second year of Tang Wude (619), Wang Shichong declared himself emperor and executed Pei Renji and others, and Qin Qiong felt that Wang Shichong was not credible, so he defected to Li Yuan and became the commander of the Ma army under Li Shimin.
In the third year of Wude (620 AD), Qin Qiong participated in the third year of Wude (620 AD) under the leadership of Li Shimin. In this battle, Qin Qiong made the greatest contribution, and Li Yuan gave him a golden vase, and said, "You have made many great achievements despite your wife's long-distance defections, and my flesh can be cut down for you to eat, not to mention the cloth of the children", so he worshiped Qin Qiong as the right third unified army of the Qin Dynasty, rewarded him with 100 catties of gold, 6,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors, and sealed the pillar country.
In July of the same year, Qin Qiong served as the vanguard and led only a few dozen cavalry to charge into the battlefield, defeated Wang Shichong, sealed the Duke of Yiguo, and rewarded 7,000 pieces of gold. In the fifth year of Wu De (622 AD), Qin Qiong accompanied Li Shimin to conquest Liu Hei min, and then won the victory and reward. From these rewards and what Li Yuan said to Qin Qiong, it can be seen that the fierceness of the battle, the strength of the enemy, and the heroism of Qin Qiong are superior, otherwise there would be no such rewards. In the ninth year of Wu De (626 AD), Qin Qiong participated in the Xuanwumen Mutiny. This was his last battle.
In this year, Li Shimin ascended the throne, Qin Qiong was already fifty-five years old, as mentioned above, Qin Qiong has almost been fighting for so many years, it is really "three hundred and sixty days a year, most of them are cross-cutting", facing well-trained soldiers, and he is almost always wearing a strong and stubborn, as a pioneer, taking the lead, repeatedly breaking strong enemies, making outstanding military achievements, winning high-ranking officials Houlu, but also suffering many injuries.
As the saying goes, "kill ten thousand people, self-fold three thousand", Qin Qiong is brave again, and injury is inevitable. The trauma of different sizes and weights greatly damaged his health, and Qin Qiong himself said, "I have been fighting horses all my life, going through more than two hundred battles of different sizes, being seriously injured many times, and the blood flowing back and forth can have several hu, how can I not be sick?" Therefore, when the world was determined and there was nothing to threaten Li Shimin's rule, Qin Qiong immediately went home to recuperate. Because he was powerless to show his face.
