As mentioned above, the "Words and Sayings of the King of the Tang Dynasty" written by Zhu Shenglin, the master of the Ming Dynasty, is also known as the "Yanyi of the King of Qin" ("Xingtang Jian", "Biography of Xingtang", etc.), and it has a great influence on the creation of sui and Tang historical novels in the field of literature, especially in later generations, and has become the source of the creation of the Sui and Tang hero series novels that have appeared in succession in the Qing Dynasty, such as "Sui and Tang Yanyi" and "The Complete Biography of Tang Dynasty", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the blueprint for the creation of Sui and Tang novels in the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the author also gave a detailed account of the god-level performance of Liu Wuzhou's fierce general Wei Chi Jingde, who fought hard against the eight generals of the Tang camp, resulting in the loss of the Tang army, and the eight generals "four deaths, one wounded, and three defeats.", Wei Chigong's name threatened li Tang's military camp, so that Li Yuanji had to ask Tang Gaozu Li Yuan for help again, hoping to send reinforcements to destroy Wei Chigong's might.

So who in the Tang camp was Wei Chi Jingde's opponent? Li Yuan did not know who to send to the rescue was the most appropriate, so he asked Tang Wanren to go to Henan to find Li Shimin, the King of Qin, to see if he had an idea. Through Tang Wanren's report, Li Shimin knew about Wei Chigong's severity, and he was also worried, and he did not know who to send to the rescue. Embarrassed, he threw the problem to the military master Xu Maogong. Of course, Xu Maogong knew who could go to the rescue, and he raised a general to Li Shimin, who was "wisely victorious over Han Hou, brave enemy Xiang Yu, there is no difference in the world, and he is as tall as the enemy (Wei Chigong)". Li Shimin didn't know that there was such a powerful figure, and he quickly asked who it was? Xu Maogong replied, "Your Highness! Originally, in the Old Juntang, Qin Shubao, who had a Xuanhua axe and a green robe and silver armor, was it. "It turned out to be a savior, but I don't know where he is now?" Xu Maogong replied, "At present, General Qin is in the camp opposite our side, idle under the account of Wang Shi, the King of Eastern Zheng. "However, we are confronting Wang Shichong, will Wang Shichong let Qin Qiong be used by us?" "It doesn't matter, I have my own clever plan to earn Qin Qiong out of the city for my use."
Xu Maogong disguised himself, blended into Luoyang City, successfully met Qin Qiong, and told Qin Qiong about the situation in the world, Qin Wang Rende, and the purpose of his trip, and Qin Qiong, who had already submitted to Li Shimin. Therefore, on the evening of the same day, Qin Qiong took Niu Jinda, Niu Jinxiong, and tongcheng to vote for Tang together. The next day, Li Shimin decided not to fight Henan first, and pulled the camp back to the house to rescue Taiyuan. The three armies marched to Chiguayu on the Red Dragon Mountain and fought with Li Yuanji, the King of Qi. The King of Qi gave a detailed account of the battle situation to Li Shimin, the King of Qin, and Qin Qiong, who was beside him, heard that the enemy was heavily guarded and wanted to go to the field to inquire about the military situation, and Li Shimin asked Qin Qiong how many men and horses he needed to bring? Qin Qiong said that one person was enough, and Li Shimin allowed it.

Moreover, it is said that this Qin Qiong rode alone to the Baibi Pass and fought in response to the battle. At this time, Wei Chigong was not in the city, but was sent to Taiyuan Province to collect grain by Song Jingang, a general under Liu Wuzhou's account. Song Jingang ordered his men and horses, and personally led the eight fierce generals Yan Junzhang, Fan Junzhang, Zhang Xunxiang, Zhang Wannian, Wang Shilong, Shan Gongming, Liu Boji, Liu Chun and others out of the city to meet the battle. Before the battle, Liu Jingang's eight generals wanted to exchange names with Qin Qiong. Although Qin Qiong was riding alone, he despised the enemy's eight generals very much and shouted, "Nameless pawn, who has the same name as you!" After saying that, he urged the horse to go forward, and one person singled out the eight generals (the situation was similar to Wei Chigong's single selection of the eight generals of the Tang camp).
When the eighth general saw Qin Qiong coming to fight, they pulled away one by one and raised their weapons to fight Qin Qiong. The eight people surrounded Qin Qiong alone in the middle, and the swords and swords kept attacking Qin Qiong's body, qin Qiong rode a Hulei leopard, hung a golden furnace gun, and held a double Jane to meet the mighty wind: "Against the cloud gun, with a machete, with a red copper hammer, blocking the dipping golden axe", the eight generals had difficulty entering Qin Qiong's body. After about ten rounds of fighting, Qin Qiong shook his spirits, and the housekeeper's method was used, scaring the eight generals into a panic, and the book described it like this: "Sometimes people don't see horses, and suddenly they don't show horses. Several times the people and horses hid, only to see the jade python and silver snake running down. In a loud voice, Liu Boji was beaten to dust with a top helmet! The turn will take advantage of the momentum, and another hammer will pass, coincidentally! The hammer wrapped around Liu Chun's body, and the hero behind the mountain lost his soul. At that time, the sixth general was terrified, and turned the dragon colt away like a cloud. Hu Bing fled to Guanzhong, and Shu Baoyang whipped the camp. ”

In the blink of an eye, the eight generals died, wounded, and fled, and seeing that the eight generals were defeated, Liu Jingang had to lead the remnants of the army back to the city in a gray and slippery way. Before that, Wei Chigong defeated the Tang camp defeated the general at noon, and then Qin Shubao defeated the eight generals of the Liu Dynasty in less than a while, and also threatened the four sides. Qin Shubao defeated the eight generals of the Liu Dynasty, and returned to the camp after victory, Li Shimin heard about the battle situation, did not stop nodding, did not stop cheering, and set up a banquet to celebrate Qin Shubao's merits.
The story after that is the well-known "Meiliangchuan War, three whips for two hammers" story, for the situation of "three whips for two hammers", there are many versions, the theories are different, and in the "Words of the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty" is that in the Battle of Meiliangchuan, Wei Chigong was under the Baibi Pass, whipping Ma Sanbao, Duan Zhixuan, and Cheng Biting Jin, and none of the three people were killed, while Qin Shubao was under the Autumn Wind Ridge, killing Wei Diao'er and Zhang Saihu, and both were killed. Therefore, the book summarizes it as "three whips are not as good as two hammers". In the later "The Complete Biography of Tang Dynasty", it was Qin Qiong who rescued Hongni Guan, Wei Chigong secretly attacked Qin Qiong in the gorge, Qin Qiong separated a hammer to beat Wei Chigong, Wei Chigong separated, repeatedly whipped Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong separated again, Wei Chigong blocked with a gun grid, the third whip hit Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong also used a gun to pull away, and was about to return to beat Wei Chigong with the third hammer, but Wei Chigong did not give the opportunity to fight, and returned to the horse and ran. Therefore, Wei Chigong produced three whips, and Qin Qiong produced two whips, which is the saying of "three whips for two hammers" in the "Complete Biography of Tang Dynasty"
So who is more powerful, Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong? Wei Chigong pursued and killed Li Shimin, Li Shimin escaped and jumped over the Rainbow Stream, Wei Chigong continued to pursue and kill Li Shimin, and also jumped over the Rainbow Stream, Qin Qiong saw that Li Shimin was in difficulty, hurried to save the car, and followed behind and also skipped the Rainbow Stream. This is the allusion to the "three-jumping rainbow neon stream".

At the critical juncture of Li Shimin, Qin Qiong rushed to a one-on-one battle with Wei Chigong, and the two fought from day to night, and from night to dawn, under hundreds of combinations, regardless of victory or defeat. The battle between the two sides stopped when Cheng Yaojin led the army to arrive, and they agreed to fight again the next day. It is worth noting that before the two of them fought, Qin Qiong was injured internally, so how did this internal injury come about? It turned out that Qin Qiong saw that Li Shimin was in danger, jumped on his horse and jumped in the rainbow stream, and was in a hurry, when the horse landed on the ground, Qin Qiong's heart was accidentally pushed by the saddle in front of the horse, and the wound book introduced it like this: "The bone in the throat was flooded with a mouthful of blood, and I was afraid that the lieutenant was late to see the joke, so he swallowed it in a hurry, and returned to the red three times in a row." The book explains that the injury was not accidental, but was deliberately caused by Heaven. The book says: "Qin Shubao pressed the upper realm canopy star, and Wei Chigong pressed the upper realm black killing god, afraid that the canopy would be difficult to kill black, so the heavens sent down three points of disease and Shu Bao, and taught him to often bring three points of disease." ”
To sum up, in the "Words and Sayings of the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty", Qin Qiong's martial arts are slightly above Wei Chi Jingde, which is exactly: "Shu Bao belongs to Tang WuDe Nian, and the credit is all in Mei liang chuan." The hero three jumps rainbow neon stream, and the fallen leaf slope before Jane pairs the whip. "Who do you think is more powerful?" (Text: Repentance of the Past)
