During the period of China's ancient feudal society, the state was in turmoil. At the time of the change of feudal dynasties, there were always frequent wars.
Just as the so-called "heroes of the chaotic world" are, in the turbulent period of history, there are many generals of war who appear. However, this turbulent history is also very chaotic, and the historical materials handed down in it are also true and false, and some famous generals may not have found this person in real history.
In many martial arts novels, the author is obsessed with the history of that time, and even more obsessed with the heroes of that time. As a result, this history is constantly revised and polished, and in order to make this history more malleable, it is also possible that the author often compiles several virtual historical figures.
These fictional characters have been carefully depicted and displayed by the author, and have also been made into everyone's favorite costume TV series, but they have been talked about in later generations and have become a long-lasting classic. However, after all, fiction is fiction, and there are six famous generals in history, but they do not exist in real history. So, which six generals are there?
With the strength of one person, he can defeat tens of millions of troops- Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu
In the "Sui and Tang Dynasties", there are two famous generals who can single-handedly oppose the enemy's army of 10,000 people, which can be described as the brave champion of the three armies. These two people, one is Li Yuanba, the other is Yuwen Chengdu.
The first is Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba's strength from birth was infinite, and when he went into battle to kill the enemy, he could tear the enemy's body with his bare hands. Li Yuanba's personality is grumpy and brute force. A palace girl next to Li Yuanba did not satisfy him because she did things, Li Yuanba just pressed her, this palace girl did not withstand such a great force, and was actually pressed to death.
Although Li Yuanba has a bad personality, his martial arts are very strong. Li Yuanba used two heavy hammers. These two hammers exceeded a hundred pounds, and the average person could not pick it up at all. Li Yuanba used these two hammers to make outstanding military achievements, and his great achievements were countless. In the novel, the final ending for Li Yuanba is to be killed by thunder.
However, in real history, there is no such figure as Li Yuanba. According to the description in the novel, the prototype of Li Yuanba should be Li Xuanba, the younger brother of Tang Taizong Li Shimin. But Li Xuanba just listened to the domineering name, and in fact had no power to bind the chicken. Therefore, this infinitely powerful Li Yuanba does not actually exist.
The second character is Yuwen Chengdu, and the meaning of Yuwen Chengdu is to Li Yuanba, just as Zhuge Liang is to Zhou Yu. One was a warrior of infinite strength, and the other was reused by Yang Guang, the Emperor of sui, and was named the "First Warrior in the World", and this person was Yuwen Chengdu. But the Yuwen family has always wanted to kill the Li family, so that they can call the wind and rain at the imperial court.
However, Yuwen Chengdu did not achieve this wish in the end. In order to highlight the contradictory color of the novel's story, the author deliberately let Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba compete together.
Yuwen Chengdu, who had followed his father to the southern expedition to the north since he was a child, suffered defeat for the first time, and his martial arts were helpless in the face of Li Yuanba, who was born with strange strength. But in fact, history does not have such a character as Yuwen Chengdu, but is just fictionalized.
Why the hero is poor and destitute - the tragic end of Luo Cheng and Xue Dingshan
Luo Cheng was a fierce general in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and could be counted as one of the top ten. There is a saying called "Jade Face Cold Gun Pretty Luo Cheng", which is to describe Luo Cheng, a fierce general, Luo Cheng is not only strong in martial arts, but also handsome and handsome. He used the "Five-Hook God Flying Gun", and in a martial arts competition in Yangzhou, he defeated the crowd on the field and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Luo Cheng was a son of Luo Yi and a cousin of Qin Qiong, who had helped Wang Gang's army and was a general of the Tiger Ben Lang at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Later, he was put into the command of Li Shimin and made great military achievements, and was given the title of "General of Changsheng". After Emperor Taizong of Tang officially ascended the throne, he was enthroned as the Kaifu Yi Tongsan Division, and his status was as high as that of the Three Princesses of the Tang Dynasty.
After Luo Cheng's defeat in a tug-of-war, he led his army "Yanyun Twelve Horsemen" to flee to the northwest region, and was eventually killed by his men. A generation of famous generals eventually fell to this point, becoming the ghosts of the soldiers under the knife, which is really tragic. However, this person is a fictional character in the "Biography of Sui and Tang Heroes" and does not exist in history.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was also a tragic general named Xue Dingshan. If you can tell the story and origin of Xue Dingshan, you must first understand Xue Dingshan's father, Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui in the TV series story, for the stability of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, went out several times, conquered the east and the west, and made great military achievements.
At this time, Datang was prosperous and developing, and its economy was developing. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the treasury was very abundant. However, the tang dynasty was not stable around it, and the Xiongnu tried to go south in an attempt to offend the Tang border. Xue Rengui was ordered to sign the four sides.
Xue Dingshan, the son of Xue Rengui in the story, and Xue Rengui became famous in the Battle of Xiliang, which is very exciting. His son saved Xue Rengui from fire and water several times, and both became heroes of the Tang Dynasty.
However, according to the records in the history books, there is no figure of Xue Dingshan. Xue Rengui did have a son named Xue Ne, not Xue Dingshan. Moreover, according to what is said in the story, Xue Dingshan still ran around for the stability of the Tang border after his father returned to his hometown.
However, Xue Rengui was degraded, so how could he send his own son to serve the Tang Dynasty again? Therefore, Xue Dingshan is a fictional character, and the real Xue Ne in history did not become a war hero.
Appears in the story only to tell a good story - Chai Gui and Yang Zongbao
The last two men are an uncle and a nephew, both of whom appear frequently in the author's fictional character fiction. His uncle was Chai Gui, and Yang Zongbao was his nephew.
Chai Gui and Yue Fei were in the same period. Chai Gui's fiction is only a negative character in the Song Dynasty TV series. His martial arts are superior, but he also relies on his status as the King of Liang to do evil everywhere. Chai Gui's jealousy is very heavy, and he is also easily provoked by emotions.
Chai Gui's father, Chai Rong, was the emperor of Later Zhou. Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, put on a dragon robe and beat Chai Gui to King Xiaoliang. During a martial arts examination, Chai Gui met Yue Fei. Chai Gui had long heard that Yue Fei was strong in martial arts, so he wanted to compete with him, but he was stabbed off his horse by a shot.
However, there is no character of Chai Gui in history, and his fiction is only to be able to set off the heroic and good fighting of Yue Fei in the story.
Chai Gui's nephew Yang Zongbao is even more of a fictional character. Yang Zongbao's father was Yang Yanzhao, and Yang Yanzhao was the founder of Yang Jiajiang. When the story is told to Yang Zongbao, it becomes even more exciting. Yang Zongbao in the story is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is invincible and invincible in battle.
Later, Yang Zongbao met Mu Guiying, and the two later developed into husband and wife. There is also the beautiful talk of Mu Guiying as the commander of the expedition. The husband and wife of the two of them hated each other, and the battle on the battlefield was invincible, and it was a good story for a while. However, there is indeed Yang Yanzhao in history, but through the history books, there is no name of Yang Yanzhao's son. Therefore, Yang Zongbao's legendary story is only fictionalized by future generations.
