In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, due to the fainting of the Sui Emperor. Excessively heavy military service and military service caused the people of the world to have no livelihood, so the people who were not willing to suffer rose up one after another and participated in the rebellion. Among these rebel armies at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many heroes haojie also emerged, becoming the founding heroes of the new dynasty. The Five Tigers of Wagang at the end of the Sui Dynasty were among the rebellious elites, of which Shan Xiongxin was the most powerful in martial arts. However, because Shan Xiongxin later defected to Wang Shichong and was given death by Li Shimin, there was no follow-up. Therefore, the most powerful sui general in the main history must be counted as Qin Qiong. After Qin Qiong submitted to Li Yuan, Li Yuan attached great importance to him. After all, Qin Qiong's physique was huge, and his martial skills were strong and brave. However, Qin Qiong, one of the Five Tigers of Wagang, was obviously strong and strong, but fell ill after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. What's going on here? And listen to the author slowly.
Qin Qiong's family lineage was noble, and each of them was a brave general, so Qin Qiong's martial arts talent was also extremely high. Therefore, the general liked to include such a brave and martial subordinate as Qin Qiong under his command, thus improving the efficiency of the battle. It is said that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin led the battle together to be invincible, and only leading 10,000 troops could fight against the enemy's million troops and return triumphantly. Qin Qiong had also plunged the horse mallet into the ground fiercely, so deep that ten strong men could not pull it out. Qin Qiong saw the enemy's wolf appearance, and only gently jumped on horseback, and then easily pulled out the horse's mallet. This horse mallet was also used as a sacred trophy by later generations and enshrined in the Tang Dynasty Taimiao Temple. Not only that, Qin Qiong's aura was also very fierce. In order to frustrate the morale of the enemy, Li Shimin would order Qin Qiong to lead his troops to behead or capture the opposing generals. Qin Qiong tried many times, and Wei Chigong was defeated by Qin Qiong.
But when the Tang Dynasty was established, Qin Qiong also followed the emperor in many conquests. But the strange thing is that Qin Qiong did not make a great achievement that shocked the world. During the xuanwumen rebellion, Wei Chigong, who had been defeated by Qin Qiong, also killed Li Yuanji. It is reasonable to say that with Qin Qiong's combat strength, he should not be so obscure. What was even more puzzling was that Qin Qiong was actually sick. Qin Qiong has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, although the body will inevitably avoid injury, but it is nothing more than some flesh and skin pain, which will not hurt the root of the body. Besides, didn't Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, and Wei Chigong and others all come all the way with Qin Qiong? Why were their bodies so strong, but Qin Qiong was so sick that it was even difficult for them to go to the upper court? So is Qin Qiong really sick?
In fact, Qin Qiong knew very well that he was a warrior, and when it came to the relationship between the monarch and the courtiers and the power of the court, Qin Qiong could not fight the wenchen. However, Qin Qiong could clearly understand his own situation, and those who had been highly shocked by the ancient masters would inevitably provoke the suspicion of the king. Han Xin's miraculous feats but his ruthless murder by Liu Bang is a bloody example. Although Li Shimin confessed that he loved the heroes, did Li Junxian still die at the hands of Li Shimin? Wei Chigong disregarded the overall situation, went crazy at the banquet, and was warned by Li Shimin afterwards. Wei Chigong couldn't help but feel chills when he thought of Peng Yue's ending, so like Qin Qiong, he chose to be obscure. But even so, Li Shimin still did not relax his guard against Wei Chigong, and Li Shimin would still judge Wei Chigong's loyalty at any time. But after all, Wei Chigong had been scarred to save Li Shimin's life. Whenever Wei Chigong was questioned by Li Shimin, he would take off his coat to show his sincerity. Later, facing Li Shimin's courtship, fearing that he would be suspected of liking Gongming, Wei Chigong also refused to marry his daughter to Li Shimin. Therefore, Qin Qiong's "illness" may not really be sick, but it is just a way for Qin Qiong to save herself. Wei Chigong was so cautious that he won the trust of the emperor, and Qin Qiong's personality was debauched, so instead of being afraid of his hands and feet in front of the king, it was better to stay away from all this earthly hustle and bustle.
The author believes that although Qin Qiong was aware of the complicated political relationship between the monarch and the subject, he chose to avoid the world to save himself, and finally enjoyed his old age in peace. But isn't this another kind of sadness in Qin Qiong's life? Obviously, he was extremely pregnant, could fight many battles and feats, and his fame was shocking, but Qin Qiong chose to escape from all this glory. He avoided the danger of killing himself, but he also fell into the heart of a child in his early years. However, judging from Wei Chigong's experience, Qin Qiong's choice may not be a mistake. After all, in the face of power, even brothers can kill each other. Therefore, even a general who has been born and died for the king on the battlefield will anger the king if he is not careful, and then bury his own life. Therefore, although Qin Qiong's choice is regrettable, it is full of wisdom.
