Do you know which heroes in ancient times shone brightly in the court, but outside the battlefield, how touching their brotherhood was? In the Tang Dynasty, there was such a great general Qin Qiong, whose name may have been heard of by you a long time ago, but how much do you know about the loyal little brothers around him? Today, let us walk into the long river of history, uncover the legendary stories of Qin Qiong and his comrades-in-arms, and see how these ancient "brothers" took each other with all their hearts and soul and broke into the world together! How did they grow from ordinary soldiers to a generation of famous generals, and what are the little-known secrets hidden in the story?
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, it was an era of heroes competing for heroes. The name Qin Qiong was known to everyone at that time. He is not only a close confidant of Li Shimin, but also one of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty. But today we are not only talking about Qin Qiong, but also the little-known comrades-in-arms around him.
The first thing to mention is Wu Heimin and Niu Jinda, they may not be as well-known as Qin Qiong, but their contribution to Qin Qiong and Datang is indelible. Wu Heimin and Niu Jinda, both of whom were Qin Qiong's close comrades-in-arms, and it is recorded in history that they had defected to the Tang Dynasty with Qin Qiong at a critical moment, a decision that not only changed their own fate, but also made great contributions to the later Tang Dynasty's seizure of the world.
Let's talk about Niu Jinda first, this tough guy was originally one of Jia Liulou's forty-six friends, although his name is unknown, but his deeds are extremely exciting. According to the Old Tang Book, Niu Jinda resolutely and resolutely joined Qin Qiong in the Tang Dynasty at a critical moment, and his bravery and fearlessness during this period can be called heroic. Moreover, his later performance was even more dazzling, he held many important positions, and his military achievements were impressive, and he was finally given high positions such as "General Zuo Wuwei", and was even posthumously awarded the "Governor of Youzhou".
Another comrade-in-arms, Wu Heimin, although there are not many records in the history books, every time he is mentioned, it appears in a key battle. It can be said that he is Qin Qiong's right-hand man, both in strategy and bravery, which is admirable. Wu Heimin's loyalty and bravery were one of the important factors that Qin Qiong was able to win repeatedly in various battles.
In addition to these two, we can't fail to mention Wei Chi Jingde, although he is a rough military general in people's impression, but in fact, his political vision is also very unique. At such a critical moment as the Xuanwumen Change, Wei Chi Jingde decisively chose to stand on Li Shimin's side, which not only won him the high position of the founding prince of the first grade, but also laid a solid foundation for the stability of the Tang Dynasty. His spirit of daring to take risks for the cause he believed in, and his bravery on the battlefield, together created a multifaceted heroic image.
When it comes to the brotherhood of these heroes, what we cannot ignore even more is the trust and sacrifice between them. In that era of heroes, how many people could support you so selflessly and share weal and woe with you? Qin Qiong and his comrades-in-arms were such a group of people. In a world of war and intrigues, they rely on each other to face difficulties and challenges together. This deep friendship is not only a baptism of blood and fire, but also an insistence on ideals and loyalty.
For example, in many battles, whether it was a border conflict against the Turks or an internal court struggle, Qin Qiong and his comrades-in-arms always fought side by side. In them, we do not see the deceit that is common in today's society, but a kind of purity and determination that is almost selfless and fights for a common goal. This spirit is still inspiring today.
What's even more touching is that the brotherhood of these heroes is not limited to the battlefield. On weekdays, they are also friends with wine and meat, and confidants in life. It is recorded in the literature that in her spare time, Qin Qiong often talked with Wu Heimin, Niu Jinda and others about wine and discussed doubts. This kind of friendship between life and death is the spiritual pillar that allows them to be fearless on the battlefield.
History always has its complexities. While these stories have inspired countless generations to come, we should also be aware that the lives of these legendary heroes were not entirely glamorous. Behind their success and glory are countless sacrifices and tribulations. Behind every glorious victory, there is endless hard work and sweat, as well as difficult choices that must be made.
By looking back on Qin Qiong and her comrades-in-arms, we have not only witnessed a magnificent history, but also deeply experienced the deep brotherhood and firm heroic ideals. They are not only the echoes of the past, but also an inspiration and enlightenment for modern people. In today's seemingly peaceful but challenging era, can we also draw from the vitality of these ancient heroes the courage and strength to be indomitable in the face of difficulties? Let us never forget our original intention, so that we can always, and maybe in the near future, you and I will be able to leave our own legend on the battlefield of life.
