In addition to Luo Cheng, the five tigers of Wagang, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, and Cheng Yaojin, in addition to Luo Cheng, who are fictional characters in the novel, the remaining four are all real heroes in history. Today, I will introduce Wang Bodang, one of the four of them.
Wang Bodang is a character line, and his single name is a brave character. Since he was a child, he had to meet strangers to teach martial arts, and it is needless to say that he had a Guan Wang sword, but his archery skills were juxtaposed with Xue Rengui of the "Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain" throughout the Sui and Tang Dynasties, because he liked to wear white robes, so he was called "White Clothed Divine Arrow" by the people of the time. Regarding Wang Bodang's archery, there was a very wonderful description in the novel "Speaking of Tang". It was Qin Qiong who rebelled against Chang'an, and The Sui Tong guanguan general Wei Wentong was ordered to capture Qin Qiong. This Wei Wentong was known as the ninth good khan of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Green Dragon Sword in his hand rarely had opponents, and Qin Qiong's double sword was also able to deal with Wei Wentong for three or five rounds. Qin Qiong had to retreat while fighting, and when he saw that he was about to be captured by Wei Wentong, fortunately Wang Bodang met him halfway. Only to see that Wang Bodang first shot Wei Wentong's left hand with an arrow, and then another arrow hit his right hand, who was still chasing Qin Qiong without knowing whether he was dead or alive, and when Wang Bodang shouted that the next arrow was going to shoot Wei Wentong's heart socket, the interesting Wei Wentong rode away.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Bodang led a popular uprising in Jiyang, and when he discovered that Li Mi was a character, he followed Li Mi to his death. Wang Bodang was also one of the Wagang generals who vigorously recommended Li Mi to Zhai Rang, the former lord of Wagang, after shangwagang, but the difference was that Li Mi regarded Wang Bodang as a confidant after he became the Duke of Wei. Li Mi had consulted with Wang Bodang before, and Wang Bodang thought that it was not appropriate for the great enemy to kill each other at present, but because of Li Mi's resolute attitude, he did not insist on his correct position. After Zhai Rang's death, Wagang was once in chaos, but under the pacification of Zhai Rang's old subordinate Xu Shijie, Shan Xiongxin, and Wang Bodang, only dozens of Zhai Rang's henchmen were killed, and then everything returned to normal. Wang Bodang was sealed by Li as the Duke of Yao for his decisive handling of this matter, second only to Li Mi.
Just when the Wagang army was in its power, the death letter from the Sui Emperor Yang Guang came from Jiangdu, but Li Mi, who had originally started by rebellion, raised the banner of revenge for Yang Guang, and also listened to the temptation of Wang Shichong, the defender of Sui Luoyang, and led the Wagang army to run so far to fight against the thief Yu Culture and Culture. Yu Wenhua was destroyed, but the strength of the Wagang army was also greatly damaged, and on their way back, Yu Yanshi met Wang Shichong's army in Henan, and as a result, the Wagang army was defeated by Wang Shichong. Li Mi, who had only about 20,000 people left, had to join Wang Bodang, who had abandoned Jin Yongcheng, and go to Chang'an to join Li Yuan.
After Li Mi surrendered to Tang, although Tang Gaozu gave him high treatment and made him the Duke of Xingguo, and also married his cousin Duhu to him, Li Mi's position guangluqing was responsible for eating and drinking, which made him, a man who once commanded 300,000 wagang troops above 10,000 people, too far behind. So he wanted to defect again, and Wang Bodang resolutely opposed it after learning of this, until Li Mi threatened him with death.
After Li Mi surrendered to Tang, there were still scattered old troops in Wagang, and he thought that Li Yuan had summoned them to lead Wang Bodang and other henchmen to leave Chang'an.
After Li Mi and the others set off, Li Yuan, who was not at ease with him, sent Li Shimin, the King of Qin, to lead an army to follow them to monitor their every move. Ignoring Wang Bodang's obstruction, Li Mixun immediately led his people to attack Taolin County. After obtaining the military supplies for Peilin County, Li Mi set fire to the county seat of Taolin County, and then led the crowd to try to cross bears ears to Xiangcheng to join the old zhang Shanxiang.
This matter was discovered by Li Shimin's general Sheng Yanshi, so he led his troops to set up an ambush in the middle of Li Mi's way to Xiangcheng, and when Li Mi entered the ambush circle of Sheng yan's division, the place where he was ambushed happened to be called Breaking Mijian, and the result was that Li Mi and Wang Bodang were also shot by Sheng Yan's division with random arrows in the stream.
