Who is Rotong?
Luo Tong, the word Yongxiao, the son of Luo Cheng, the Duke of Yueguo, and one of the forty-eight Shaoguo Princes of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the identity of "Shaoguo Gong", Luo Tong also has an identity, which is the "Royal Highness of Yuergan" of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
I think that when the first battle of Zhou Xipo was in the war, Yue Guogong Luo became a national sacrifice and died under the random arrows. In order to appease the Luo family, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, accepted Luo Tong as his righteous son and named him "His Royal Highness Yuergan".
Luo Tong looks very similar to his father Luo Cheng, his face is like a crown of jade, his teeth are white and his lips are red, his eyebrows are colorful, and his eyes are like stars, just like Luo Cheng back then.
Not only does Luo Tong look like his father, but he also dresses like his father.
He is also wearing a bright silver helmet, wearing bright silver armor, a lightning white dragon horse under his crotch, and a five-hook god flying silver spear in his palm.
Although Luo Tong's skills are not as good as Luo Cheng back then, he also has the skills of his father seven or eight times out of ten.
Among the forty-eight young princes of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Tongyi dominates the crowd and dominates!
In the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic state raised troops for no reason, and the generalissimo Zuo Wheel led 200,000 soldiers and horses to invade the Central Plains.
After the battle table reached Chang'an City, Li Shimin was furious, and in order to let the Turks see the heroism of the Tang monarch, he decided to drive the expedition in person!
Li Shimin issued a decree and ordered Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, Duke of Hu, to be the marshal, Xu Mao, Duke of the British, to be the military advisor, Chi Gong, the Duke of Hu, to be the left vanguard, and Cheng Jin, the Duke of Lu, to be the right vanguard, to transfer 50 generals, raise 300,000 soldiers and horses, and resist the Turks in the north.
At the beginning, the Tang army was quite smooth, killing the Turkic soldiers and horses in defeat and retreat, not only quickly recovering the lost territory, but also all the way north, killing the capital of the Turkic country, Muyangcheng.
If the Shepherd City is taken again, the Turkic State will be completely lost, and it will have to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
Who knew that during the battle against Shepherd City, the situation changed.
Due to Qin Qiong, Xu Maogong and others' negligence for a while, they fell into the strategy of luring the enemy with the left wheel, and as a result, all the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were trapped in the city.
Later, Lu Guogong Cheng bit Jin and was ordered to break through the siege to move the rescue soldiers!
It is not easy to say that Cheng biting Jin is really not simple, he relied on a curly-haired lion beast (also known as the big-bellied grasshopper red) in his crotch, a gossip open-mountain Xuanhua axe in his palm, plus two lines of sharp teeth and a three-inch tongue, and finally broke out of the thirteen encirclements of the Turkic country and returned to Chang'an City.
After returning to Chang'an City, Cheng Yanjin immediately met with Li Chengqian, the prince of the prison state, and Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the current dynasty, and asked them to quickly send two reinforcements to rescue the driver.
The generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the two-way reinforcements is Luo Tong Luo Yongxiao, who has just turned eighteen!
Luo Tong is really worthy of being the son of Luo Cheng, he wants to be literate and martial, not only both civil and military, but also very good at using soldiers.
He led the second reinforcements to move forward bravely, seized the pass at every pass, broke the village, and soon came to the shepherd city.
The two Tang armies should cooperate with each other, and finally broke through the sheep city and won the final victory!
As the saying goes: There is no higher merit than saving the driver, and there is no ruthless plan than starving the food! No matter how great your merit is, it is not as good as saving the emperor's life; no matter how ruthless your strategy is, it is not as good as cutting off the enemy's food and grass!
Luo Tong swept the north to save the car, which can be regarded as a great achievement.
After the class teacher returned to the dynasty, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was not stingy and crowned Luo Tong as the "King of Sweeping the North!"
And Luo Tong, the prince, is not in vain, he is really in control of the military power.
Because Li Shimin asked him to command 100,000 troops and guard Tongguan!
You must know that Tongguan is the gateway of Chang'an City, and it is the most important pass in the nine-province eighteen passes of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin not only named Luo Tong as the king, but also asked him to guard Tongguan, which shows how important he is to His Royal Highness.
Who is Xue Rengui?
Xue Li, whose name is Rengui, is a native of Longmen County, Jinzhou, Shanxi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and a famous military strategist.
He was poor in his youth, farming for a living, and when he was thirteen years old, he coincidentally worshipped Li Jing and Li Yaoshi, one of the three heroes of wind and dust, as his teacher.
After eight years of careful cultivation by Li Jing, Xue Rengui learned a good skill.
As the saying goes: learn the art of literature and martial arts, and sell the goods to the emperor's family. Xue Rengui had good skills, so he naturally didn't want to be buried, so he joined the army.
However, Xue Rengui's military career was not smooth, and it could even be said to be very bumpy.
Because he was the "Ying Meng Xianchen" of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he was hated by Zhang Huan and Zhang Shigui, the great Sima of the Ministry of War, and was driven out of the army twice.
Fortunately, he later fought the tiger in the money mountain and saved a noble man in life, that is, King Lu Chitose Cheng biting gold.
He took the golden approval order given to him by Cheng Biting Jin to join the army three times, but Zhang Shigui didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he had to keep him.
Although he stayed, Zhang Shigui arranged him to the battalion and became a firehead.
During a march, Xue Rengui explored the crypt and not only ate nine noodle cows and two noodle tigers, and had the power of nine oxen and two tigers, but also got five treasures, namely: sky-shaking bow, cloud-piercing arrow, white dragon horse, water and fire robe, and wordless heavenly book.
Coupled with his White Tiger Whip and Coiling Dragon Halberd, Xue Rengui is already a Seven Treasures.
Xue Rengui is already strong in martial arts, and with the treasure of this body, he is like a tiger with wings, galloping across the battlefield and making many achievements!
But what is infuriating is that despite Xue Rengui's hard work, he has been suppressed by Zhang Shigui, and the credit is attributed to others.
Xue Rengui is also too honest, at the mercy of Zhang Shigui, but he does not dare to resist.
Later, God finally opened his eyes, and with the help of Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others, the truth of the facts was revealed, Zhang Shigui was punished, and Xue Rengui was able to show his face.
Because Xue Rengui fought every time, he was a silver helmet and white robe, so he was called "General in White Robe", also known as "Xue Bairobe".
He conquered the east for 12 years and made countless military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, such as "whipping Gai Suwen", "halberd picking the treasure of the palace", "good strategy to rest and fight", "three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountain", "relieve the siege of Chang'an City", "100 days of double rescue", and so on.
After the class teacher returned to the dynasty, he was named "King of Pingliao" by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty!"
Luo Tong, the king of sweeping the north, and Xue Rengui, the king of Pingliao, one sweeping the north to save the driver, and the other conquering the east of Pingliao, are all famous and famous, and they are all brave champions of the three armies!
So the question is, which of them has the higher force?
In my opinion, in terms of force alone, Luo Tong's force is definitely above Xue Rengui.
There may be friends who want to question, Xue Rengui not only has the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, but also has seven treasures by his side, can't he beat Luo Tong?
I really can't beat it!
As long as you have read the original book "Speaking of the Legend of the Tang Dynasty", you know that Xue Rengui's character is very fierce, and he is a powerful man, and he is Qibao's body, but his actual combat effectiveness is not high.
According to various indications, Xue Rengui's force is definitely not comparable to Luo Tong.
First, let's take the generalissimo Gai Suwen of the Eastern Liao State as an example
Xue Rengui vs. Gai Suwen:
The people on both sides opened the formation, and Xue Rengui urged him to step forward, and with a bright silver plate dragon halberd in his palm, he fought against a red copper plate door knife in Gai Suwen's palm.
The two fought for more than 100 rounds without a victory, and later Xue Rengui saw that it was difficult to win, so he had to use the White Tiger Whip and the method of clamping the whip in the halberd to win Gai Suwen.
What does this mean? It shows that Gai Suwen's force is similar to Xue Rengui's.
Luo Tong vs. Gai Suwen:
The Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were trapped in Sanjiang Yuehu City, and Luo Tong, the king of the North Sweep, came to the rescue.
When he came to the city, Luo Tong shook the five-hook god in his hand and flew the silver spear, and ran to cover Su Wen's door. Seeing that this shot was as fast as lightning, Gai Suwen didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly waved the red copper plate door knife in his hand and greeted him.
Qin Huaiyu saw that his cousin Luo Tong had come at the right time, so he breathed a sigh of relief, brandished the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, and attacked on the side.
Luo Tong, with the assistance of Qin Huaiyu, killed Gai Suwen in more than 40 rounds, and he couldn't resist it, and he turned the horse away.
You can see clearly, in more than 40 rounds, it only took Luo Tong more than 40 rounds to defeat Gai Suwen.
Although Qin Huaiyu was on the side to help, don't forget, Qin Huaiyu at that time had just finished killing the four gates and was already exhausted, if Luo Tong hadn't arrived in time, Qin Huaiyu would have died at the hands of Gai Suwen.
In other words, Qin Huaiyu at that time had no combat effectiveness.
Taking a step back, even if Qin Huaiyu helped for ten rounds, Luo Tong would be able to defeat Gai Suwen for more than fifty rounds at most.
Xue Rengui's defeat of Gai Suwen took more than a hundred rounds, while Luo Tong's defeat of Gai Suwen only took more than fifty rounds. It can be seen that Luo Tong's force is definitely above Xue Rengui.
Second, let's take Phoenix's guard Gai Xianmo as an example
Wei Chigong vs. Gai Xianmo:
After only one round of fighting, Gai Xianmo was shocked by Wei Chigong and retreated more than a dozen steps.
Gai Xianmo saw that Wei Chigong's strength was too great, and he didn't dare to continue to fight.
Xue Rengui vs. Gai Xianmo:
The two fought for more than 20 rounds, and Gai Xianmo couldn't parry, and was picked off by Xue Rengui's halberd.
Have you seen it clearly? Wei Chigong can shock Gai Xianmo back more than a dozen steps in one round, and he does not dare to fight again.
And Xue Rengui actually fought with Gai Xianmo for more than 20 rounds, although the final result was his life, it was too hard.
Don't forget, Xue Rengui has the power of nine bulls and two tigers, and it is so hard to fight a mere Ge Xianmo, where is the power of nine bulls and two tigers?
By comparing Gai Xianmo, we can find that Xue Rengui's strength is a bit exaggerated?
Through the various performances in "Speaking of the Legend of the Later Tang Dynasty", Xue Rengui's force is basically not much different from Wei Chigong, even if it is stronger, it is limited.
And what about Luo Tong? With the skills of his father Luo Cheng, he is far above Wei Chigong in terms of force.
Through the above two points, we can know that in terms of force alone, Luo Tong, the king of sweeping the north, is definitely more powerful than Xue Rengui, the king of Pingliao!
Of course, all of what I said above is based on the original book "Speaking of the Later Tang Dynasty", and other versions are different.
In some versions, in order to praise Xue Rengui, the adaptation can't bear to look at it directly.
Let's take Shan Tianfang's old man's commentary as an example, and he lifted Xue Rengui to the sky. What did you say that the orangutan gall killed Pei Yuanqing, and Xue Rengui killed the orangutan gall again. The implication is that Xue Rengui's force has surpassed Pei Yuanqing.
Good guy, this is too outrageous, Pei Yuanqing in the original work of "Saying Tang" was obviously killed and fell into the mountain fire and thunder array, how could he die at the hands of the orangutan gall?
is still the same sentence, although it is a romance, although it is a novel, but since there is an original work, we still have to respect the original work!
