Who is Li Yuanba?
Li Yuanba, the fourth son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, was the king of Xifu Zhao who was personally entitled by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.
He was short, skinny, yellow-skinned, and looked like a sick ghost, not to mention the ugly energy.
However, don't look at this fourth son's stubbornness, but he is born with extraordinary talent and infinite strength. It is said that with a shake of his arms, he has the power of four elephants, rubbing stones into powder, twisting iron like mud, hating the sky without a handle, hating the earth without rings!
He chased the wind and clouds under his crotch, and a pair of drum urns and golden hammers in his palm, hammering and sinking with great force, and was known as "the first good man in the Sui and Tang Dynasties!"
Who is Luo Cheng?
Luo Cheng, the word is public (one said Zhijing), the son of Luo Yi, the king of Beiping.
His face is like a crown of jade, his teeth are white and his lips are red, his eyebrows are colorful, his eyes are like stars, his appearance is very handsome, and he has the honorary title of "the first beautiful man in the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
He has a little white dragon chasing the wind in his crotch, and a five-hook god flying silver spear in his palm, with superb marksmanship and unpredictable spirits, known as "the invincible general of the plain robe and white horse, a silver gun is passed down all over the world!"
If you want to ask Li Yuanba or Luo Cheng who is more powerful, it depends on which book it is.
If it is in "Speaking of Tang", there is no doubt that Li Yuanba crushed Luo Cheng, and there is no comparison between the two at all!
Good guy, Li Yuanba in "Speaking of Tang" is like a god possessed, powerful and evil!
In the battle of Siming Mountain, he single-handedly beat the 2.3 million army of the 18th anti-king army to the ground, and thousands of generals were all terrified!
In the Battle of Purple Mountain, he defeated more than 1.8 million men and horses to the point of more than 600,000 horses in half a day, and forced all the anti-kings to hand over the surrender letter and table one by one.
Good guy, what kind of person is this, it's even more powerful than an atomic bomb!
We know that there is a force ranking in "Speaking Tang", and a total of eighteen people are on the list, known as "Eighteen Heroes"!
Who are they?
First place: Li Yuanba, King of Zhao in Xifu;
second place: Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu;
third place: Pei Yuanqing, the Silver Hammer Taibao;
Fourth place: the purple-faced king of the majestic sea;
fifth place: Nanyang Hou Wu Yunzhao;
Sixth place: Jin Bo invincible Wu Tianxi;
Seventh place: Paul Cheng, the spear less;
Eighth place: Yang Lin, the king of the backer;
ninth: Wei Wentong, the handsome man of the flower knife;
Tenth place: the four treasure generals are still masters and apprentices;
Eleventh place: Eight Horse General Xin Wenli;
Twelfth: Pingnan Wang Han Baohu;
Thirteenth: Changping Wang Qiu Rui;
Fourteenth place: Yang Yichen, the handsome man in the red robe;
Fifteenth: Hammer General Liang Shitai;
Sixteenth: Generalissimo Qin Qiong;
Seventeenth: Soap-robed general Wei Chi Gong;
Eighteenth: Red-haired Lingguan Shan Xiongxin.
Among these eighteen heroes, Li Yuanba is a peerless one, and he is completely unique!
Not to mention Luo Cheng, who ranked seventh, Yuwen Chengdu, who ranked second, and Pei Yuanqing, who ranked third, were also like child's play in front of Li Yuanba.
Yuwen Chengdu had a red charcoal fire dragon horse in his crotch, and a wind wing and gold pit in his hand, using all his skills, he couldn't pass three rounds in front of Li Yuanba.
Pei Yuanqing grabbed a flying tiger horse in his crotch, and a pair of eight-sided plum blossom bright silver hammers in his palm, and tried his best to catch Li Yuanba's three hammers.
In the Battle of Purple Mountain, Luo Cheng fought with Li Yuanba, but was smashed by Li Yuanba with a hammer, and he was so frightened that he fled.
Let's put it this way, in "Speaking of Tang", Li Yuanba can beat a hundred Luo Cheng, and it is easy!
However, when it comes to "The Legend of Xingtang", it is different.
Although Li Yuanba in "The Legend of the Xingtang Dynasty" also has the title of "No. 1 in the world", he is in name only.
Compared with the "Eighteen Heroes" in "Speaking of Tang", there is also a ranking list in "The Legend of the Xingtang Dynasty", known as "Sixteen Heroes".
Who are these sixteen heroes?
The first master: Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao in Xifu;
Second Jie: Eight-armed Nezha Pei Yuanqing;
The third master: Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu;
The fourth master: the purple-faced king of the majestic sea;
The fifth master: Wu Tianxi, the big sword general;
The sixth master: Cheng Bites Gold, the Demon King of the Mixed World;
The seventh master: Zhai Rang, the little overlord;
The eighth master: cold face and cold gun Luo Cheng;
The ninth master: Xiao Meng tastes Qin Qiong;
Tenth Jie: Xiaoling official Shan Xiongxin;
The eleventh master: the beautiful bearded prince Jun Ke;
The twelfth master: Wei Wentong;
The thirteenth master: Nanyang Hou Wu Yunzhao;
The fourteenth master: the white-clothed marksman Wang Bodang;
The fifteenth master: the four treasure generals are still masters and apprentices;
The sixteenth master: Zuo Tiancheng, the handsome of the Golden Knife Palace.
However, what is incomprehensible is that these "sixteen masters" are not ranked by force, but by strength alone.
I wondered, this is not a weightlifting competition, what's the use of your whole strength ranking?
In this case, it is a bit of a contradiction.
When he beat Wagang Mountain three times, Pei Yuanqing, who ranked second, was beaten down by Qin Qiong, who ranked ninth.
Outside Tongguan, Qin Qiong, who ranked ninth, was chased by Wei Wentong, who ranked twelfth, and fled in embarrassment.
Before the Tiger Prison Pass, Cheng Biting Jin, who ranked sixth, was captured alive by the fifteenth-ranked Shang Shi's apprentice.
In front of Bishui Pass, Shan Xiongxin, who ranked tenth, was overwhelmed by Zuo Tiancheng, who ranked sixteenth.
……
And when it comes to breaking the bronze flag array, it will be even more lively.
Li Yuanba, who ranked first, was coaxed, thinking how great he was, but as soon as he got out of the horse, he was shot in the thigh by Luo Cheng, who ranked eighth, and was so frightened that he returned to the horse and ran away.
Now everyone understands, if it is in "Speaking of Tang", it must be Li Yuanba who is powerful, and if it is in "The Legend of Xingtang", it is Luo Cheng!
But then again, most of the romance novels in the Sui and Tang dynasties are based on "Speaking of the Tang Dynasty", such as the commentary "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Wagang Heroes", "The Legend of the Ringing Horse", and so on.
Even "The Biography of the Xing Tang Dynasty" is adapted from "Speaking of the Tang Dynasty".
In other words, "Speaking of Tang" is the real original work!
