Today, let's talk about Qin Qiong, a sui and Tang dynasty general, who is also one of the door gods.
Qin Qiong(?) –638), courtesy name Shubao, was a native of Licheng, Qizhou (present-day Licheng District, Jinan, Shandong). Initially, he served under the Sui Dynasty generals Lai Hu'er, Zhang Sutuo, and Pei Renji.
When Qin Qiong was serving under the account of Lai Hu'er, his mother died, and Lai Hu'er sent someone to mourn, which aroused the curiosity of the soldiers, so they asked Lai Hu'er: "There are often funerals in the army, why does the general only mourn Qin Shubao's family?"
Unexpectedly, Lai Hu'er said to the crowd, "Uncle Qin is brave and fierce, and he has ambition and integrity, and he will take great wealth in the near future, so how can I treat him as a humble person?"
I have to say that Lai Hu'er is not only a fierce warrior, but also a more powerful sight to see people.
In December of the tenth year of the Sui Dynasty, Lu Mingyue, the leader of the Zhuo Commandery rebels, led an army of 100,000 to attack Zhu'a. Zhang Sutuo led more than 10,000 people to the conquest, including Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin.
After dozens of days of confrontation with the other side, Zhang Sutuo's grain and grass were about to be exhausted, and the form was very unfavorable. Zhang Sutuo then began to mobilize the soldiers: "After Lu Mingyue saw our army retreating, he would definitely send people to pursue us, and when their army moved out of the empty camp, if someone led a thousand soldiers to attack the camp, he would definitely be able to win a surprise victory." But what? This operation is really dangerous, I wonder if any of you want to go? ”
None of the generals dared to respond, which inevitably made Zhang Sutuo a little embarrassed. At the critical moment, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin stood up.
Zhang Sutuo had the two of them each lead a thousand troops to ambush in the reeds, while he himself led a large army to pretend to retreat.
Lu Mingyue was really deceived, and led hundreds of thousands of troops out of the nest to pursue Zhang Sutuo. Qin and Luo took the opportunity to launch an attack, killing dozens of people each and setting fire to more than thirty camps of Lu Mingyue's army.
After Lu Mingyue realized that he had been deceived, he hurried back, Zhang Sutuo led the main force to turn around and cover up, and Lu Mingyue only led hundreds of cavalry to escape. After this battle, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin's bravery was famous far and wide.
After Qin Qiong surrendered to Li Mi, another thing happened, which further reflected his bravery.
In March of the fourteenth year of Daye, Yu Wenhua killed the Sui Emperor Yang Guang. Li Mi was not spared from the enemy in his belly and back, and led the Wagang army to attack Yuwen and Yu Wenhua.
In July, the two armies fought the Battle of Liyang. In the melee, Li Mi was shot by a stray arrow, his eyes were black, he fell off his horse and passed out, his subordinates had already scattered and fled, seeing that Li Mi was going to finish the game in advance, at a critical juncture, Qin Qiong desperately protected Li Mi from danger, and then gathered the remnants of the army to fight with Yu Wenhua and the large army, and finally repelled the other side.
After Qin Qiong surrendered to Tang, Mei Liangchuan defeated Wei Chigong; in the Battle of Dou Jiande, Qin Qiong led dozens of elite cavalry to take the lead in breaking through Dou Jiande's army and was awarded the title of Duke of Yiguo. Subsequently, he accompanied Li Shimin to Hebei to suppress the rebellion and defeat Liu Heimin's army.
According to the old and new Tang Dynasty records, every time Qin Qiong accompanied Li Shimin in his conquests, there were often military generals in the enemy formation who showed off their strong soldiers and horses, so Li Shimin let Qin Qiong go forward, and single-handedly killed the enemy generals among the crowd.
After these people have seen the rendition, there are often people who think that the historical Qin Qiong is not strong in force, and the people in front of him only take the lead after they die, and they do not know that the people in front of him are all fictional characters, and the main reason in the rendition is to highlight Qin Qiong's "righteousness", so he has to reduce his force value.
