If you want to say who is the first fierce general in the classical war romance, Li Yuanba, the king of Xifu Zhao in "The Complete Biography of the Tang Dynasty", can be said to be the best. According to the book, as Li Yuan's youngest son, Yuan Ba is the golden-winged Dapeng Linfan, the protector of the Upper Realm Spirit Mountain, although he was born thin and withered, like a sick ghost Lei Gong, but he has the power of four elephants, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he made a pair of sledgehammers weighing 800 catties, which can really be called the courage of ten thousand people.
However, Yuanba's brain is not very bright, and he is a little confused, except for his grandmother, parents, second brother Li Shimin and brother-in-law Chai Shao, no one buys anyone's account, not to mention that the next person annoys him and loses his life at every turn, even the eldest brother Li Jiancheng and the third brother Li Yuanji born to a mother ignore it, and even shout and kill in anger, so it is not scary.
What is surprising is that Li Yuanba, who is so above-eyed, is in awe of Qin Qiong, an outsider who is not literal and martial arts (relatively speaking). Not only did he see Qin Qiong's face in Siming Mountain and let go of the Wagang generals, but later Shan Xiongxin was deflated in Hanging Hammer Village after breaking into the bronze flag formation, Li Yuanba deliberately went to hammer Liang Shitai in order to make Qin Qiong look good. So why did Yuanba treat Qin Qiong with such a high standard? This has to start with the nightmare that Yang Jian had back then......
The nightmare of Emperor Wen of Sui
Yang Jian is the son of Yang Zhong, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Zhong succeeded as the Duke of Sui after his death, because the Lord of Zhou was young, and there was no one to look at, so as a relative and the high-ranking Yang Jian was ready to move, coupled with his uncle Yang Lin in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, the prestige in the army was unparalleled, so in the end, Yang Jian usurped Zhou Jiansui with the support of Yang Lin, and was Emperor Wen of Sui.
Yang Jian is a good emperor, he dominates the world, logistics, politics, loves the people, and governs the country in an orderly manner, but after all, he is not in the right position, so there has always been a thorn in his heart. The early years were fine, but as time went on and as I got older, the thorns in my heart seemed to grow longer and deeper. Maybe it's "thinking about it every day, dreaming about it at night", or maybe it's a warning from God, in short, Yang Jian always had the same dream later-the flood is surging, drowning the Jingshi, the people are displaced, and the country will not be a country!
This dream made Yang Guang crooked, when he was the king of Jin, he led the army to destroy Nan Chen with the nominal commander, because he had heard for a long time that the queen of Chen had two concubines of the country, so he ordered the former army generals Gao Jiong and Li Yuan to pay attention, and did not want Li Yuan to be upright, called "bewitching and bewitching the lord", so regardless of Yang Guang's order and Gao Jiong's dissuasion, he actually killed two charming beauties when he broke through Nan Chen. After all, this matter can't be put on the table, and Yang Guang can only eat Coptis dumbly, but he also hates Li Yuan.
At this time, Yang Jian's nightmare just gave Yang Guang the opportunity to take revenge on Li Yuan, and he ordered people to create rumors and spread the word "The plum is strong and wins the world, and the Yang lord has no foundation", "The sun and the moon shine on the dragon boat, and the Huai Huang water flows against the current." swept away Yang Hualuo, the Son of Heaven has no head" and other proverbial nursery rhymes, and deliberately revealed them to Yang Jian. The older Yang Jian gets, the more he spares his life, and he can't help but worry when he sees everyone like a thief.
These nursery rhymes were analyzed with a little knowledge and were related to the word "Li", so Yang Guang used the emperor's dream of water as an excuse, saying that the person who caused trouble was not only surnamed Li, but also had water in his name, and the spearhead was directed at Li Yuan. His idea is very good, and it is basically designed according to Li Yuan's name, but he forgot that there is more than one Li Yuan in the name of the minister surnamed Li in the court. And Yang Jian never thought of Li Yuan from beginning to end, but also in line with what Yang Guang said about Li Hun lying down inexplicably.
First of all, Li Hun not only has water in his name, but even his son's milk name is called "Hong'er", Zhonglang will Pei Renji (I don't know why Pei Yuanqing's father pointed at Li Hun with this baseless thing, Yang Guanghao is not calculated, he is purely a pit man) directly to the Son of Heaven, saying that Li Hun and his son "secretly conspired and conspiracy". So Yang Jian issued a holy decree and beheaded Li Hun's entire family of 53 people in the city.
Yang Guang was so angry that he smoked, and ordered his henchman Fang Shi to say to Yang Jian that he would kill all the people surnamed Li. As a result, not only did the founding meritorious Gao Gong persuade him, but even Yang Su, who had always been at odds with Gao Jiong, seconded the proposal because of his friendship with Li Mi, the prince of Pushan County, so this suggestion finally came to an end.
But after so many incidents, officials surnamed Li in the DPRK and China will inevitably tremble, and there are countless people who resign and return to their hometowns. Li Yuan was not stupid, and vaguely felt that this was a measure taken by Yang Guang against himself, so instead of being scared, it was better to stay away from the court to keep his family safe, so he begged back to Taiyuan.
As we have said just now, Yang Jian never doubted Li Yuan from beginning to end, but considering Jiangshan Sheji, he finally agreed to Li Yuan's request, but did not agree to Li Yuan's "resignation application", but ordered him to stay in Taiyuan and control Xijing. In other words, Li Yuan has changed from a "caged bird" who is almost slaughtered by others to a feudal official of the Great Sui Dynasty.
The oolong incident of "Engong Qiong Five".
"I sat up in shock in my dying dream, and the clown turned out to be myself", Yang Guang was busy with thirteen tricks, but the result was to fulfill Li Yuan, which made Yang Guangyu uncomfortable? So he personally led Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhua and father and son, ordered soldiers and horses to pretend to be ringing horses, and prepared to intercept and kill Li Yuan and his family on the way to Taiyuan.
Not surprisingly, the group blocked Li Yuan's way, not wanting a golden-faced man to "fall from the sky", seeing that there was a ringing horse in broad daylight, so he rushed into the battle group without saying a word, danced the family heirloom copper gong, and killed those fake ringing horses on their backs, and even Yang Guang himself was beaten and wounded and left, this person is Qin Qiong Qin Shubao, the book gall of "Speaking of Tang"!
At this time, Qin Qiong was a fast horse, so he naturally wanted to interrogate the captives, but it was okay not to ask, when he learned that this was a personal grudge between Yang Guang, the prince of the East Palace, and Li Yuan, the prince of Tang Guo, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead and feeling weak in his heart - just kidding, how could the gods fight with him, a "little ghost", so he didn't care about anything else, and went back to the horse, for fear of being remembered for his appearance.
Li Yuan's family didn't know that Qin Qiong's heart turned a thousand times in an instant, and they only knew that they had received the grace of saving their lives, how could they let her go like this. But Qin Qiong was fast, and when Li Yuan reacted, Qin Qiong had already traveled a distance, so he shouted loudly and asked his honorable name, Qin Qiong didn't dare to stay for a while, so he didn't stop the horse, turned his back to Li Yuan's family, signed up for "Qin Qiong" while walking, and waved his hand at the group to show his farewell. But first, the distance is far away, and secondly, the wind is not small, so that Li Yuan only heard the word "Qiong", and saw Qin Qiong waving his hand, so he thought that he was doing five at home, so for a long time after that, the Li Mansion called it "Engong Qiongwu", and even the statue of Engong made for Qin Qiong was written with the name of "Qiongwu", which really made a big fuss.
The Temple of the Five Emperors of Qiong
Time flies, and years are passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Qin Qiong was ordered to go to Beijing on a business trip, and met his friends Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng in Shaohua Mountain, and at the same time got acquainted with Qi Guoyuan and Li Rugui, who were also in the grass here. Although everyone has a good relationship, Qin Qiong is an official after all, from this point of view, he and the heroes of the green forest are actually on the opposite side, but Qi Guoyuan and Li Rugui are still familiar with each other, I heard that Qin Qiong is going to enter Beijing, and the dead beggar will follow him, Qin Qiong is afraid of hurting his friends, but from the bottom of his heart, he is reluctant to bring them, especially these two, who have a vicious face and rude words and deeds. I didn't want to be in a hurry, so I even made a squeeze, which made Uncle Qin, who was known as "Little Meng's taste," embarrassed by his feelings? In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Beijing with the four of them.
On the way, a few brothers passed through a big temple, built very magnificently, although not yet completed, but enough to see the scale, out of curiosity, a few people entered the temple to find out, the result was surprised to find that the main god of this temple enshrined "Qiong Five Emperors" by Qin Qiong in general appearance, Qin Qiong said that he saved Tang Gong that year, and the result happened to be heard by Li Yuan's son-in-law Chai Shao, who was responsible for supervising the construction of the temple here, only to know that his father-in-law made a big oolong, it turned out that the benefactor of the Li family was not Qiong Wu, but the famous "Little Meng" Qin Shubao on the rivers and lakes.
After that, Chai Shao also joined the "squad" in Beijing, and several people also made trouble in Chang'an, killing the younger brother of Quan Chenyu Culture and bullying men and women, and thanks to the help of Li Jing of Sanyuan, he escaped under the pursuit of the Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu.
The Battle of Siming Mountain
As we all know, Yang Guang is a "prince of six shorts" in the novel, and the so-called "six shorts" refers to his murder of his father, seizure of power, killing of his brother, sister-in-law, adulterer, and drama sister. After ascending to the throne, Yang Guang did not think about his own mistakes, and still went against the grain, in order to enjoy himself, regardless of the people's livelihood and suffering, the construction of the canal, which caused the people's resentment to boil, and the righteous army in Zhongzhou rose in all directions, and the eighteenth road was against the king and the sixty-fourth road were planted to stand on their own.
However, in Yang Guang's eyes, these are just scabies, coupled with the deception of the traitorous minister Yu culture, so that Yang Guang did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all, so when he passed through Siming Mountain on the way south, Long Jia was blocked by the rebel coalition army.
Although the escort general Yuwen Chengdu fought hard for a day and defeated the three generals Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao, and Wu Tianxi, he was also beaten by Pei Yuanqing, a new force who was rushed to due to exhaustion, and vomited blood and fell into a coma. Yang Guangxin was shocked, and hurriedly issued an order to transfer Li Yuanba, the son of Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan to save the driver. Li Yuan originally wanted to tell Yuanba that he had received Qin Qiong's life-saving grace, but after thinking about it, he felt that acting like this would be disloyal to the emperor, so he chose to remain silent under the entanglement. Although Li Yuanba was not shrewd, and even a little stupid, he also saw that his father wanted to speak and stopped, and he was quite puzzled in his heart. However, Li Yuan's loyalty to the monarch in his heart does not mean that the whole family is like this, his mother does not know what the righteousness is, but only knows that if it were not for Qin Qiong, his family would have suffered a long time ago, so he specially summoned Li Yuanba to tell the past. Although Li Yuanba is tyrannical and murderous, he is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so he is grateful to Qin Qiong, who has never met.
Because Li Yuanba was frizzy and his brain was not bright, Li Shimin was driving in the dragon boat again, so Li Yuan ordered his son-in-law Chai Shao, who was steady, to accompany Yuanba. Chai Shao is one of the sworn brothers in Jia Liulou, so he naturally wants to secretly help the Wagang brothers. Although there was a grandmother's advice, Chai Shao knew that once his fourth uncle was killed, he would not recognize his six relatives, so he deceived him to be young and stupid, saying that the family heirloom of Engong Qin Shubao was a flying gong, which could be sacrificed to kill the enemy several miles away, and his person was the most righteous. These words made Li Yuanba stunned for a moment, and he added a little awe to Qin Qiong in addition to gratitude.
So, in the later battle of Siming Mountain, Chai Shao and Li Yuanba secretly communicated with Xu Maogong, the military division of Wagang, and asked the generals of Wagang to plant yellow flags. Therefore, although Li Yuanba killed the Quartet and repelled the coalition army by 2.3 million on a single horse, he did not attack the generals of Wagang, selling Qin Qiong a big face.
Li Yuanba and Qin Shubao's past life bond
In addition to Qin Qiong's life-saving grace to Li Yuan's family, and Chai Shao's bluffing, Li Yuanba's release of water to Qin Qiong has something to do with their previous lives. It is said that during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the world was divided for many years, during which the war continued, and the people were not able to make a living, so the Jade Emperor sent Zi Weixing to save the world, thinking that it was Allah, and at the same time ordered the twenty-eight constellations to assist the lower realm, but he did not expect the twenty-eight constellations to collectively refuse, and pulled out the old past......
It turned out that during the period of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, Ziwei and the Twenty-Eight Constellations were reincarnated by order, Ziwei Xing was reincarnated as Liu Xiu, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations were reborn as the famous Yuntai Twenty-Eight Generals. At first, the monarch was wise and virtuous, but with the successive victories of the army, Liu Xiu's mentality gradually changed.
The Battle of Kunyang laid the foundation for Liu Xiu's final victory, and after he ascended to the throne, he forgot his original intention, and actually "drunk and beheaded Yao under the design of Concubine Guo, and woke up to force Deng Yu", Yuntai Twenty-eight will be chilled, so they are unwilling to help Ziwei in this life. But this is not to say that they are unwilling to go to the lower realm, the reason why they complained to the Jade Emperor is actually to hope that the Jade Emperor will change their leader. Who knew that the Jade Emperor would be wrong, and because he understood the coldness of the twenty-eight constellations, he reassigned the thirty-six Tiangang, which made the twenty-eight constellations very annoyed, and they all came to the mortal privately, reincarnated as the anti-king, and vowed to have a long time with Ziwei.
Seeing this, the Jade Emperor was afraid that Ziwei and the Thirty-six Tiangang could not withstand the twenty-eight constellations, so they sent all the gods to the world, and for a time Lei Zu, Nezha, Dapeng, Qinglong, and White Tiger ...... All of them are out of bounds. However, there are also relatives and estrangements between the immortals, and they are also divided into camps, some of them have always been friendly with Ziwei, and some of them dare not disobey the will of the Jade Emperor, so after reincarnation, they will help the true son of heaven Li Shimin, but some of them are close to the twenty-eight stars, so the yang and the yin are disobedient, and they help the people against the king, and the gods are chaotic for a while.
And the Li Yuanba we heard about today was a golden-winged Dapeng in his previous life, and Qin Qiong was a handsome star of Zuo Tianpeng. Although the two gods are not close friends, they can be regarded as the same camp, and from this point of view, Qin Qiong and Li Yuanba can also be regarded as having some origins.
To sum up, Li Yuanba and Qin Qiong are not blood relatives, and they don't have a deep friendship, but once Qin Qiong saved Li Yuan's family, he is the benefactor of the entire Li family, Li Yuanba is pure-minded, and naturally he will not take revenge, coupled with Chai Shao's scare, so Yuanba treats Qin Qiong extremely politely. What's more, as colleagues in their previous lives, the two barely got along with each other. This is the reason why Li Yuanba looks at Qin Qiong differently.
