Cheng, who was famous for a lifetime, bit jin and overturned the ship in the gutter

01

Wagang years

Cheng bites Jin's three-plate axe - tiger head snake tail

Cheng bites the big banner of Jinbai - everyone expects it

Halfway out of the way to bite the gold - caught off guard

This after-a-break shows the thriving popularity of Cheng Biting Jin in the folk, just like his name, which is particularly pleasing and very grounded.

In the commentary, Cheng Yaojin is a great fortune general, born of a poor peasant, a salt smuggler, very righteous but cunning and selfish, super lucky, always able to kill Ji, and ordinary people's hearts.

The name Cheng Zhijie is basically used in the main history, and the temple is full of vigor and appears to be tall.

Sure enough, the record indicates the identity, it is the official N generation, the grandfather and father are all Northern Qi military generals, born in the general gate, biting gold to practice a martial art, Xiao Yong is good at war, especially skilled in horse mallet - not the Xuanhua axe that everyone is familiar with in the rendition.

In the later period of the Sui Dynasty Emperor's great cause, the world was in chaos, and thieves swarmed. All villages have organized vigilante groups to protect themselves, and in their hometown of Dong'a County, Shandong Province, they have pulled up a contingent of hundreds of people to protect the border and the people. After tossing and turning for several years, he led his men to join the mighty Wagang army Li Mi and merged into the tide of the Central Plains at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Mi greatly admired the bravery of biting Jin, and selected 8,000 elite cavalry, led by four hussars such as Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Shubao. Boasting to everyone, "These eight thousand people can stop a million troops!" "The number is the Inner Army.

This year was the thirteenth year of Emperor Zhao's great cause (617).

The Wagang army advanced into the eastern capital Luoyang, and confronted the Sui army Wang Shichong across Luoshui. Back and forth tug-of-war, Wagang won more than lost, li mi gradually became proud and arrogant.

In this year, many major events occurred, the Wagang army was infighting, Li Mi killed his old comrade Zhai Rang, took control of the whole army, but had sown the seeds of internal disunity.

Taiyuan remained behind Li Yuan, Li Shimin father and son led an army to attack Chang'an, the King of Tang, and Emperor Zhao's son Yang You as emperor.

In 618, Li Mi won consecutive battles, beating Wang Shichong to the point of shrinking into the city of Luoyang and not daring to come out, and many anti-kings followed Li Mi as the main leader and advised him to claim the title of emperor, and Li Mi said: "Luoyang has not yet been taken, do not discuss this issue." ”

In March, the Sui general Yu Wenhua and rebellion, killed the Sui Emperor, led tens of thousands of Elite Sui Army "Xiaoguo Army", and Emperor Jue's harem regiment and accompanying officials also rushed to Luoyang.

In May, Yang Youchan was located in Tang, and Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was proclaimed emperor, with the era name of Wu De in the first year.

Luoyang and its surroundings were in chaos, and countless people and horses were fighting like hot pot ants in it.

Li Mi

Li Mi's fault

Yu Wenhua and the killing came, Li Mi was the first to fight with it, and Xiao Guojun was originally the guard of Emperor Jue, brave and fierce.

It took Li Mi a lot of strength to defeat Yuwen, and before he could catch his breath, Wang Shichong led the Luoyang defenders and took the opportunity to go out of the city to challenge and make a break with Li Mi.

Li Mi looked down on his defeated general Wang Shichong and ignored Lao Wang's determination to fight to the death. The troops, who had not been rested, recklessly fought a decisive battle with Wang Shichong.

Cheng Yaojin led the Neima army to follow Li Mi at the Northern Qiao Mountains, and deployed with the YanshiChengbei Chengjiaojiao of Yanshicheng, where the general Shan Xiongxin's Waima Army was stationed, directly facing Wang Shichong's Troops.

Wang Shichong sent cavalry to attack Shan Xiongxin, and Li Mi ordered Cheng to bite Jin and the general Pei Renji to come to the rescue; Renji rushed to the front, shot an arrow in the chest, and crashed down on the horse, and the Wang army cavalry rushed up to pick up the ready-made bargain.

Cheng bit Jin and shouted, brandished his horse mallet, and stabbed many people to death in succession, and the generals of the Wang Army turned around one after another, biting Jin and carrying Renji on their horses, and the two rode back.

One of the enemy knights struggled to chase after it, and a shot pierced through the bite of gold! A good Cheng bit jin, broke the spear with a return hand, and stabbed the enemy off the horse with one shot! He took the injury with him and took Pei Renji back to the camp with him.

At the end of the Wagang army's strong crossbow, this battle was fought so hard, including cheng yaojin, a general of the three armies who bravely crowned the three armies, who were seriously injured; coupled with internal discord, Li Mi was lightly hostile, but instead was taken advantage of by Wang Shichong and attacked Li Mi's camp in one go. Shan Xiongxin, Feng Yuanzhen and other swing elements surrendered first.

Wang Shichong continued to work hard, and lian kejin Yongcheng and Hu Prison Pass beat Li Mi to the heavens with no way out, no door to the ground, and the whole army was defeated! Went directly to Chang'an to submit to Li Yuan datang.

Wang Shichong won a great victory, and many of Wagang's generals surrendered.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, Pei Renji and other famous generals were packaged and accepted by Wang Shichong.

Tang Dynasty Xuanjia Army

Wang Shichong had great respect for the soldiers on the surface, but he was very jealous in practice. He also especially liked to engage in witchcraft, Shinto, and had many words without themes, and many of his soldiers looked down on him in their hearts.

Cheng Yaojin said to Qin Shubao: "Wang Shi's inflatable capacity is too small to tolerate people; he is always talking nonsense, gambling and swearing at every turn, and he is completely an old witch." This man is not the master of the chaos. ”

Qin Shubao fully agreed, and the two discussed waiting for the opportunity to leave Wang Shichong. There is a saying in the chaotic world: Not only does the monarch choose his subjects, but the courtiers also choose the king, which is the basis for a safe life and a life.

In February 619, Wang Shichong personally led a large army to engage the Tang army at Jiuqu.

The two sides were arranging their formations, and Cheng and Qin led dozens of their cronies to ride out on Prancing Horses, and raced to the west for a hundred paces, and then they got off their horses and prayed to Wang Shichong for a few prayers, saying: "We were treated with courtesy by the prince, and we were supposed to repay the work with our hearts. But you are too suspicious and always listen to rumors, not where we live and die. I can't serve you now, so let's leave it at that! "Just throw yourself at the Tang Army in front of the battle."

The big husband came and went.

Li Shimin was greatly pleased to hear of their great name for a long time, and immediately made the two generals, and the treatment was generous.

From then on, Cheng Yaojin followed Li Shimin, beat Liu Wuzhou, broke Dou Jiande, took Wang Shichong, was born into death, made many military achievements, became a brave general of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and later ranked nineteenth among the heroes of "Ling Xiao Pavilion", and his name went down in history.

Li Shimin selected several thousand knights, all dressed in black and black armor, divided into four teams on the left and right, led by the four generals Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Wei Chigong, and Zhai Changsun. Li Shimin personally put on black armor as the commander, and every time he started a war, the Xuanjia army was unstoppable, with one enemy and a hundred enemies, and was the elite of the Tang army that shocked the world.

In the Great Battle of Dou Jiande at Tiger Prison Pass, Li Shimin personally led Cheng to bite Jin and Qin Shubao's Xuanjia army, rushed straight forward, penetrated Dou Jiande's camp, went straight to the back of the enemy army, and raised the Tang army banner high, and the enemy generals saw that behind them were also the Tang army, and the whole line collapsed.

The invincible Tang Army, the Xuanjia Army is the ace of the aces, and Cheng Yaojin is the top figure in the ace army.

The banner clearly supports Li Shimin

After several years of the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, the Tang Dynasty leveled the princes and unified the world, and Cheng bit jin with great achievements in battle and was enfeoffed as the Duke of Su.

In the war for many years, with Li Shimin as the core, a powerful force in the Qin Dynasty was formed, and a struggle between the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the Qi king Li Yuanji for the position of heir was launched.

By the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty (626), the struggle between the two sides had become white-hot, and Li Jiancheng and others were gradually dividing and disintegrating Li Shimin's Qin wang clique.

First he sent Wei Chigong a cart of gold and silver, but Wei Chi was not allowed; the gold and silver treasure seduced Duan Zhixuan, but the old Duan did not follow; and then he squeezed out Xuan Ling and Du Ruyi, the think tanks of the Qin King's Palace, and drove them away.

Cheng Was Appointed as the Governor of Connecticut and transferred. Lao Cheng confronted Li Shimin and said, "Great King, you must make a decision early!" Left and right cronies are torn apart, which is equivalent to cutting off hands and feet, can the body still hold up? I Cheng Zhijie risked death not to go to Connecticut, please make up your mind as soon as possible. ”

On the issue of standing, Cheng Yaojin went all out to stand for Li Shimin.

Finally, on June 4 of that year, Li Shimin launched a coup d'état at Xuanwumen, killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Li Yuan abdicated as Emperor Taishang, and Li Shimin ascended the throne, which is the great king of Chinese history, Tang Taizong.

Lao Cheng, as a brave general of the Tang Dynasty and a deceased member of the Qin Dynasty, was highly valued. Successively, he served as the Assassin of Luzhou, the Governor of Yuanzhou, and the Assassin of Puzhou, and continued to guard the frontier of the Tang Dynasty.

Politically he was not rude and ignorant, quite principled and scheming. Like leaving Wang Shichong and defecting to the Tang Dynasty; resolutely loyal to Li Shimin, and participating in the xuanwumen revolution, these are all clear proof of their own positions.

In the years of peace, biting Jin and Qin Shubao a piece, like fishing, always let Big Brother Qin compare, and from time to time was dazzled by his fish.

Biting Jin calmed down to study, invented a salted lees bait, and it was really powerful. Tang Taizong held a fishing contest in the palace, Taizong was the first, biting Jin second, the eldest grandson Wuji was third, and Qin Shubao was fourth, and finally brought his face back.

Taizong's first was the result of biting Jin and secretly throwing his own fish into his bucket. It seems that biting gold will take care to do things, and it is clear that there are thick and thin.

Late holidays are not guaranteed

The old hero's glorious life was originally incomparably rich and happy, but unfortunately, when he was old, he did something unauthentic, which was a failure of life.

People are old, without the vigor of their youth, more conservative and peaceful, do not seek merit, but seek no fault, is its typical characteristics.

In the first year of Tang Gaozu's reign (656), the sixty-seven-year-old Cheng Yaojin led a large army to conquer the Western Turks, and the deputy general Wang Wendu .

The forward was the famous Tang general Su Dingfang, who was li jing's apprentice, and with five hundred cavalry broke tens of thousands of Turkic horses, captured a large number of cattle and sheep, and won the victory.

Wang Wendu was jealous of Su Dingfang's merits and said to Cheng Yaojin: "Although there is a small victory, the safest way is to form a formation with Xu Xing, and if he is reset in the center, he will be able to stand in an invincible position." ”

Wang Wendu had a background, and the biting gold came from him, and the soldiers marched forward every day in thick armor, and the horses were tired and thin.

Su Dingfang said: "This tactic is too conservative and timid, how can it break the enemy?" ”

Biting gold does not change.

After capturing the enemy city, many Hu people surrendered, and Wen Du said that the Hu people were capricious, so it was better to kill them all! Biting gold is agreeing again!

As a result, the city was slaughtered, the Hu people's property was divided, and the prestige of the Tang army was greatly damaged.

Only Su Dingfang does not collect gold and silver.

Returning to the dynasty, the matter was exposed, and WenDu was dismissed from his post to investigate;

The fault of biting gold is to miss the fighter plane, let the enemy escape calmly, and also kill people and dismiss them.

After that, he had to appoint a new governor of Qi Prefecture, and Biting Jin felt that the years were not spared, and he proposed to retire himself, and the imperial court agreed.

Since then, he can only keep his own and live in the capital Chang'an for a long time, until he dies at the age of seventy-seven...
