"The king is not a piece, the power is not a bully, the general is not Li, and the fist is not gold" This is a popular saying that has been circulated among the people for a long time, but few people know who the four people referred to in this sentence are, in fact, these four people are heroes, this sentence is also the worship of heroes and heroes among the people, let's talk about who these four heroes are.
Wang but Xiang refers to the Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu, in fact, Xiang Yu's real name is Xiang Yu, his ancestors are descendants of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, his ancestors are the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty was divided into Xiang State, in the Spring and Autumn Period Xiang State was destroyed by the Lu State, the royal descendants of Xiang State then took Xiang Zi as the surname, and then the Xiang family was loyal to Chu for generations, and was a family of generals of Chu State.
Xiang Yu's grandfather is a fierce general, is the end of the Chu State of the famous general Xiang Yan, Qin Shi Huang sent the general Li Xin and Meng Tian coalition army to attack the Chu State, as a result Xiang Yan broke Li Xin and Meng Tian coalition army, killed Li Xin's seven lieutenants, Li Xin was beaten by Xiang Yan to lose his armor and flee back to Qin.
Just look at Xiang Yu's family background to know that this is a fierce family, Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang have depended on each other since childhood, according to the "Historical Records", Xiang Yu is more than eight feet tall when he is an adult (about 1About 85 meters), the waist is round and the strength is infinite, he can carry the tripod, generally three or five people can not get close to him, which makes Xiang Yu famous in the township, and many villagers are respectful to him.
Xiang Yu was taught the art of war and strategy by his uncle Xiang Liang since he was a child, and both his uncle and nephew thought that they would be able to revive the Chu State in the future. After the death of Qin Shi Huang, the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings broke out, and Xiang Liang decided to take this opportunity to uncover the pole and rise up to restore the Chu state, so Xiang Liang sent Xiang Yu to kill Huiji County Shou Yintong.
Xiang Yu was very brave and killed the county guard Yin Tong in the county guard's mansion, and then Xiang Yu pinned the county guard seal ribbon around his waist, and he was about to walk out of the county guard mansion with Yin Tong's head in one hand, and Yin Tong's subordinates naturally wanted to avenge him.
Xiang Yu began to kill in all directions in the county guard, Xiang Yu killed more than 100 people under Yin Tong with his own strength, his courage greatly shocked the rest of Yin Tong's subordinates, they knelt down to beg Xiang Yu for mercy, Xiang Yu also became the first warrior recorded in the history books with one enemy hundred, it can be said that his bravery is unparalleled through the ages.
After Xiang Liang's death, Xiang Yu took over the army and continued to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, and soon Xiang Yu occupied a place in the troubled times at the end of Qin with his bravery.
Especially in 208 BC, Xiang Yu single-handedly killed Song Yi in the military camp, which made him famous for his bravery. Xiang Yu is evaluated in the history books"He is a fierce man, and everything he passes is destroyed."
Later, Xiang Yu defeated the famous generals Zhang Han and Wang Li of the Qin State in the Battle of Julu, and Xiang Yu's prestige shook the world for a while. After defeating the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu, and since then the name of the overlord has become a legend for later generations.
Xiang Yu's most glorious period was the Battle of Pengcheng, in the Battle of Pengcheng, he broke the 600,000 princes alliance formed by Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, with 30,000 horses, creating the most classic case of winning more with less in the history of Chinese affairs.
It's a pity that Xiang Yu quickly declined after the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang sent the general Han Xin to defeat Xiang Yu under the wall, and finally Xiang Yu broke through and failed to kill himself in Wujiang, ending in the tragic form of the overlord Farewell Concubine.
Although the chaotic era at the end of the Qin Dynasty finally ended with Liu Bang establishing the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu's position in history was unshakable, and later generations called him"The spirit of the feather is brave, unique through the ages".This shows that Xiang Yu's bravery is unsurpassable throughout the ages, which is also ".The king is not enoughThe origin of ".
Li Qingzhao, a talented woman in ancient times, sighed in "Summer Quatrain":
Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost.
So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.
The power is not to be able to dominate refers to the fourth son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Zhao Wang Li Yuanba, but Li Yuanba was the first fictional character in the classical ** "Saying Tang Quanbiography", and then it was interpreted by the commentary and opera, and he was also rumored to be a god, and his historical prototype should be Li Yuan's third son, Li Xuanba, the king of Wei.
According to historical records, Li Yuan and his wife, Mrs. Dou, had four sons, namely the eldest Li Jiancheng, the second Li Shimin, the third Li Xuanba, and the fourth Li Yuanji. However, the historical Li Xuanba died before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and lived only 15 years old, and his title of Weiwang was posthumously sealed after Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Yuanba in ** can be completely different from the image of Li Xuanba in history, according to the setting in **, Li Yuanba is the reincarnation of the golden-winged Dapeng, and his appearance is a sick seedling with a "face like a sick ghost and a skinny like firewood".
But Li Yuanba is extremely brave, ** said that his two arms have the power of four elephants, that is to say, the strength of his arms is comparable to the strength of four elephants, just talking about this strength, he may be more powerful than Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
Because Li Yuanba's arm strength is amazing, his ** is also very powerful, and he is a pair of golden hammers weighing 800 catties. With such a lot of strength, he naturally eats more, and he can eat ten buckets of rice and ten catties of meat in one meal.
Li Yuanba's strength is naturally a tiger general, he directly defeated Yuwen Chengdu who is also powerful and can use four hundred catties with one arm in his first appearance, and then Li Yuanba is like a god-like existence in **, many generals can rarely walk three or five moves under him, and ordinary generals can't even catch him with three hammers.
And Li Yuanba is very cruel, like the hand-tearing devil in the anti-Japanese drama, it may be learned from him, Li Yuanba is infinitely powerful, and often tears people in **, such as Yuwen Chengdu and another general, Wu Tianxi, were torn in half by him, and it can be seen how strong his arm strength is.
Because Li Yuanba was already invincible in **, ** finally arranged a very poetic ending for him, that is, Li Yuanba was on his way back to the army after the victory, which coincided with lightning and thunder, Li Yuanba thought that God was roaring at him, so he raised a hammer to scold the sky, but when the lightning and thunder roared, his urn golden hammer became the fuse, which led the thunder down and directly chopped him to death.
In this way, due to the interpretation and promotion of **, storytelling, and opera, Li Yuanba has become a well-known warrior, and he is also called by the folk by virtue of his natural divine power"It's not too strong". However, Li Yuanba is only a fictional character in literary works, and his historical prototype Li Xuanba is almost completely different from his deeds.
General but Li refers to Li Cunxiao, a fierce general in the late Tang Dynasty, who was not only brave but also quite strategic. Li Cunxiao's real name is An Sijing, his parents died when he was young, and he was taken prisoner by Li Keyong by Hedong Jiedu, and later gained appreciation during the service of Li Keyong, and was adopted by Li Keyong as an adopted son, and then renamed Li Cunxiao.
Since then, Li Cunxiao has been living and growing up with Li Keyong in the army, growing up in the military camp since he was a child.
Later, when Li Keyong crusaded against the Huangchao uprising, he often ordered Li Cunxiao to be the vanguard, Li Cunxiao was extremely brave, and when he fought against the rebels of Huangchao, he never lost and won every battle.
In 890 A.D., there was a mutiny in Luzhou, Li Keyong's territory, and Li Keyong's younger brother Li Kegong served as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army and was stationed in Luzhou. Li Kegong was greedy, and the people of Luzhou hated him very much, just when Li Keyong's general Feng Ba rebelled, so Li Kegong's men killed him and surrendered to Feng Ba, and Feng Ba made Zhu Wen surrender to Li Keyong's opponent Xuanwu Junjiedu.
At the same time, Tang Zhaozong thought that Li Keyong's power was too strong, so he sent troops to attack Li Keyong. That is to say, at that time, Li Keyong had to deal with Zhu Wen on the one hand, and the crusading army sent by the imperial court on the other, so it can be said that the situation was very unfavorable to Li Keyong.
So Li Keyong sent Li Cunxiao to recapture Luzhou, Li Cunxiao first led 300 soldiers to ambush Sun Kui, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army appointed by the imperial court with 3,000 men, and also captured Sun Kui, after which Li Cunxiao led 5,000 soldiers to attack Luzhou, and the brave and warlike Li Cunxiao captured many generals under Zhu Wen, and finally recovered Luzhou.
The battle to recapture Luzhou was to completely spread the name of Li Cunxiao's brave martial arts all over the world, and as soon as the opponent heard that Li Cunxiao was coming with his troops, he immediately closed his door and did not dare to fight against Li Cunxiao.
However, Li Cunxiao's ending was not good, and he was finally killed by Li Keyong's car because of his betrayal of Li Keyong. The reason for Li Cunxiao's betrayal of Li Keyong was actually the slander of Li Keyong's other adopted son, Li Cunxin.
Because Li Cunxiao is brave and good at fighting, and has great achievements, he is increasingly loved by Li Keyong, so Li Cunxiao is dissatisfied and wants to compete with Li Cunxiao for favor, and the two often work against each other.
And Li Cunxin is a complete villain, often slandering Li Cunxiao in front of Li Keyong, originally after recovering Luzhou, Li Cunxiao's military exploits were the most significant, and he should be appointed as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, but because of Li Cunxin's slander, Li Keyong only let Li Cunxiao be a Fenzhou assassin, which made Li Cunxiao very angry, and he didn't think about it for a few days of anger.
As a result, the contradiction between Li Cunxin and Li Cunxiao is also getting bigger and bigger, in 892 AD, Lu Longjiedu made Li Congwei and Chengde Jiedu make Wang Rong attack Li Keyong, so he immediately sent Li Cunxin and Li Cunxiao to lead a coalition army to resist Li Congwei and Wang Rong. As a result, due to mutual suspicion of each other, both of them did not move, and in the end, Li Keyong had to change the general to lead the army to repel Li Congwei and Wang Rong.
After Li Congwei and Wang Rong retreated, Li Cunxin took the lead in accusing Li Cunxiao and Wang Rong of deliberately holding the army in front of Li Keyong, Li Cunxiao learned that Li Cunxin slandered himself so much, he was worried that Li Keyong really believed Li Cunxin's words, so he took the lead in sending troops to rebel, he first wrote a letter to Zhu Wen, the sworn enemy of Wang Rong and Li Keyong, to express his sincerity, and was ready to wait for Wang and Zhu to send reinforcements to him Li Keyong.
After Li Keyong learned of Li Cunxiao's rebellion, he immediately sent troops to attack Wang Rong, forcing Wang Rong to sue for peace and surrender, cut off Li Cunxiao's reinforcements, and then sent heavy troops to besiege Li Cunxiao.
Although Li Keyong knew that Li Cunxiao was not really rebellious, but was bewitched by Li Cunxin's slanderous words, but Li Cunxiao secretly communicated with Zhu Wen and Wang Rong's letters, although he couldn't bear to execute Li Cunxiao, but he could only endure the pain to execute him, originally he also thought that if the generals could intercede for Li Cunxiao, he would pardon Li Cunxiao along the steps, but because Li Cunxiao was too sharp, Li Keyong's generals were very jealous of him, and no one interceded for him, and finally Li Keyong could only order Li Cunxiao to split the car.
According to legend, Li Cunxiao's courage is extraordinary, when the car cracked him, he pulled the four horses back with the divine power of his limbs, and finally said that his hand tendons and tendons were broken, so that he could not exert his strength, which made him successfully crack the car.
After Li Cunxiao was killed, Li Keyong gradually fell behind in the battle with Zhu Wen, and later Li Keyong regretted splitting Li Cunxiao's car. Because Li Cunxiao is extraordinary in courage and brave in battle, he is called by later generations"It will not be Lee".
Fist but gold refers to the folklore of Yiwu, Zhejiang Northern Song Dynasty heroic Jintai, but whether Jintai is indeed a person in history remains to be verified, his deeds mainly appear in Yiwu folklore, as well as folk history and **, storytelling and other literary works.
According to folklore, Jintai is a martial arts wizard in the Northern Song Dynasty, especially proficient in boxing, is the ancestor of the various factions of southern boxing, Song Yingzong once named him the king of boxing in the world, is the first master of Chinese martial arts legends, and is also known as the first in the world of ancient and modern martial arts.
Jintai also supported Wang Anshi's reforms, in the era of Song Shenzong, Jintai was entrusted by Song Shenzong to be fully responsible for Wang Anshi's living safety, Wang Anshi's implementation of the law changes touched a lot of elites, so many people wanted to assassinate him, thanks to Jintai's protection of him to be safe and sound.
After the failure of Wang Anshi's change, Jintai retired to the rivers and lakes, and since then Jintai has accepted apprentices to pass on the arts, the famous martial artist Zhou Tong in the Northern Song Dynasty is the founder of Jintai, Zhou Dong is the master of martial arts legends, "Water Margin" in Liangshan heroes Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Zengtou City Sect Head Shi Wengong who defeated Liangshan heroes, and later Yue Fei in "The Complete Biography of Yue" are Zhou Dong's apprentices.
In other words, these people are the disciples and grandchildren of Jintai, just look at these cattle apprentices taught by Zhou Dong, you can imagine how powerful Jintai is, so although Jintai is uncertain whether it exists in history or not, it does not prevent the people from recognizing him, so he is called by the people"Punches can't be golden".
Therefore, the four people referred to by the folk saying "the king is not Xiang, the power is not the bully, the general is not Li, and the fist is not gold" The four people referred to are Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, and Jintai, among the four Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao are real historical figures, although Li Yuanba has a historical prototype, but the overall deeds are processed by art, and whether Jintai exists in history remains to be verified.
However, whether it is a real historical figure or a fictional character in folk art, the folk admiration for the four people also shows that the ancient folk worship of the strong is the recognition and praise of the strong.
