Was Qin Qiong the first fierce general of the Sui and Tang dynasties? The official history records that it seems that because Qin Qiong was indeed able to take the first rank of general in the Wanma Army, such as probing the bag, it was much more powerful than the "Thirteenth Good Man of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in the Yanyi novel.
However, when we look closely at the Sui and Tang Dynasties, we find that the famous Sui Dynasty generals Zhang Sutuo and Lai Hu'er were both Bole who discovered and promoted Qin Qiong, and they were also the first-class fierce generals in the world. Even in the Wagang Army, there were at least four fierce generals whose martial arts might not be under Qin Qiong, especially the Wagang fierce general who was ignored by many people, which made Qin Qiong hold a grudge for life- watching his good brother being captured and killed, but he could not do anything about it.
In the main history, Cheng Biting Jin's martial arts skills were very high, using a horse mallet instead of a large axe, and of course, he never sold smuggled salt or a rake: "Cheng Zhijie, whose real name is Biting Jin, Jeju Dong'a people also." Less courageous, good use of horse mallets. At the end of the great cause, hundreds of disciples gathered to protect the township in case he stole it. ”
Being able to play with the horse mallet from a young age shows that Cheng bites the gold after the door, and the family is also relatively well-off, counting three generations up, the head of the Cheng family is a military general. Cheng Yaojin, who was highly skilled in martial arts, fought side by side with Qin Qiong for many years (fighting against the king), and finally joined the Wagang Army together, and at the same time served as the commander of the Inner Horse Army's Horse Riding: "Later, according to Li Mi, he was signed as the Inner Army Horse. At that time, there were 8,000 warriors in the army, who were under the four horses, divided into left and right for self-defense, and called the internal army. ”
Cheng Yaojin had never fought with Qin Qiong, so which of them had a higher martial art and was not well evaluated, but Qin Qiong's other comrade-in-arms was more courageous than Qin Qiong, this person was the young hero Luo Shixin, and the cold-faced cold gun Luo Cheng in the yanyi novel was probably based on Luo Shixin.
Under Zhang Sutuo, the first fierce general would be Luo Shixin instead of Qin Qiong. The Sui Emperor may not know who Qin Qiong is, but he "meets" with Luo Shixin almost every day: "In every battle, Sutuo ascends first, and Shi xin is the deputy." Emperor Jue sent envoys to comfort him, and ordered the painters to write pictures of the battle fronts of Sutuo and Shixin, which were on the internal history. ”
In Zhang Sutuo's army, Luo Shixin was a fierce character, he was only fourteen years old when he first appeared, wearing two layers of armor to charge the horse, and after picking several people at gunpoint, Luo Shixin made a surprising cold-blooded move: "Behead one person, throw it in the air, carry it with a gun, and wear it slightly." ”
From the Spring and Autumn Warring States to the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties. The enemy's first rank is a good thing, which can be exchanged for a knighthood, and sometimes in order to compete for a first rank, there will be incidents of cannibalism between comrades. But Luo Shixin never needed a head in battle, he only needed a nose - too many beheadings, hanging on the horse was cumbersome, so before each battle, Luo Shixin would prepare a pocket, and after the war, he would pour out a bunch of noses from it.
After talking about Luo Shixin, we should talk about Shan Xiongxin - he and Qin Qiong may be friends, but they were once mortal enemies, and Qin Qiong's old superior Zhang Sutuo was killed by the ambush of Xu Shixun and Shan Xiongxin. The reason why Zhang Sutuo was exhausted was to save Qin QiongluoShixin and others from the encirclement.
Zhang Sutuo was sacrificed, and after Qin Qiong was rescued, he gathered the remnants of his soldiers and defected to Pei Renji: "The army is defeated, Sutuo dies, and Shu Bao attaches pei Renji to the rest of the people." ”
There was the "flying general" Shan Xiongxin in the Wagang Army, and Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin could only watch Zhang Sutuo die in battle, which was not that Qin Qiong Luoshi was greedy and afraid of death, but that Shan Xiongxin was too brave. Even Li Shimin, the King of Qin, could only stand still in the face of Shan Xiongxin's super-long horse mallet, and if he had not seen Xu Shixun's face and closed his hands in time, there would have been no later Tang Taizong and Zhenguan zhizhi: "Shan Xiongxin, Cao Zhouren also." Shao Xiaojian, especially able to use a gun immediately, was called 'Flying General' by the secret army. Emperor Taizong besieged the eastern capital, Xiongxin sent an army to resist the battle, and the reinforcements arrived, and several times with Emperor Taizong, Xu Shijian stopped it. ”
Qin Qiongcheng bit Jin Luo Shixin was once a Sui officer (Cheng Biting Jin may have been a vigilante group), and they followed Shan Xiongxin from enemy to comrade-in-arms, and from comrade-in-arms to enemy, so it is difficult to judge who has higher martial arts, and another fierce general who was once under Qin Chengluo may be rarely known - even fewer people know, it turns out that Liu Heimin is also from the Wagang Army: "Liu Heimin, a native of Zhangnan, Beizhou." At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was exiled from Hao Xiaode to a group of thieves, and later returned to Li Mi as a general. Secretly defeated, he was captured by Wang Shichong. ”
Also captured by Wang Shichong when the Wagang army was defeated, Qin Qiongcheng bit Jin Luoshixin and ran to the Tang army, but Liu Heimin chose another path - he also found an opportunity to slip away and defected to his old friend Dou Jiande: "Friendship with Dou Jiande, Jiande every capital." Seeing what Shi Chong did and snickering (Cheng Yaojin also despised the snickering), it was a return to Jiande. ”
Liu Heimin's status in the Wagang Army was not high, but after he defected to Dou Jiande, especially after Dou Jiande was beheaded by Li Tang, Liu Heimin broke out with amazing combat effectiveness, capturing his old comrade-in-arms Luo Shixin, and Qin Qiongcheng bit Jin outside the city and beat his chest and was unable to rescue him.
Liu Heimin beat the old Wagang general Qin Qiongcheng led by Li Shimin, the King of Qin, and finally Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng came out to clean up the mess, first using centrifugal tactics to disperse Liu Heimin's troops, and bribed traitors to capture Liu Heimin.
Although Liu Heimin was beheaded in Shuishui City, Qin Qiong held a grudge for the rest of his life because he failed to avenge himself -- Qin Qiong and Liu Heimin had fought each other, but for some reason, Qin Qiong did not show the courage of people to block the killing god, but instead lost his good brother Luo Shixin, who had fought side by side since he was a child, which showed that Liu Heimin's martial arts were definitely not under Qin Qiong.
There is no invincible general in the world, there is no invincible general, even if the brave as Qin Qiong, there are also times when they are defeated and captured, their old superior Zhang Sutuo sacrifices, his good brother Luo Shixin is captured, and Qin Qiong has not been able to take revenge and hold a grudge for life. So we have such a question: If Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin Shan Xiongxin Liu Heimin go head-to-head one-on-one, can they have absolute certainty of winning?
