Cheng is a comedian, similar to Zhu Bajie in The Journey to the West, Zhang Fei in Three Kingdoms and jy in Water Margin. His character defect or intellectual defect is obvious, but he is better than gentleness. There are such characters in traditional legendary novels.
In Tang Shuo, there are three people closest to The First Hero and Qin Qiong: my cousin Luo Cheng, my brother Cheng Jin Yao and my good friend Dan Xiong Xin. In the Tang Dynasty, Cheng He grew up together. Her mother is also Cheng's godmother, but she was separated from the Qin family when she was a deserter. In order to make a living, Cheng started an underground business of smuggling sea salt, similar to the leader of the local underworld. Later, I simply went up the mountain and became a bandit who robbed the road. Because thinking "doesn't take the usual path", it always "kills halfway". Although it can only be "three axes", it robbed the "imperial outline" that heroes all over the world dreamed of, which triggered the gathering of heroes in Wagangzhai.
Although Cheng Yuan in the official history is not the life experience in the romance, he is always inseparable from him.
Cheng was not born in poverty as mentioned in the book. In fact, his ancestors were officials for generations, and his father was also a priest, that is, the second generation of officials. When I was a teenager, I was good at riding horses and using long axes (not axes, but long guns specially used to deal with cavalry). This is not for poor people.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was buzzing, and hundreds of disciples were gathered to guard the village. Later, he took refuge in Shi Biao, and since then, he and his colleagues in Qin Qiong, although not as famous as Qin Qiong, are not generally brave. Once, Cheng and Pei Hangyan (the prototype of the third hero) went to support Dan in the war. In front, Pei Hangyan fell off his horse, and Cheng snatched it out, repelling the enemy, holding the seriously injured Pei Hangyan on his horse and riding a double retreat. The enemy cavalry pursued, because the horse carried two people, and the speed was not fast. Cheng was penetrated by pursuers (probably not fatal parts such as chest). Cheng leaned forward, broke the handle, conveniently pulled the soldier who was chasing him near, beheaded him with a knife, and chased him behind, and no one dared to get close. Finally, the two returned to the camp safely.
Later, when Shi Mi was defeated, Cheng and Wang defected, a lean man from the western region was a semi-final of a conference. However, they found that the semi-final of this conference believed in shaman and often decided to jump into the sky. They thought he was not a wise master, so they rushed out of the right front for more than 100 feet, suddenly turned their horses' heads and saluted Wang and said, "I am very grateful for your kindness." However, you are suspicious and there are many little people around you. I dare not stay with you for long. I hereby resign! " Say that finish, he took dozens of people around him and ran away to Tang Jun. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind the king, afraid of and cheng's trepidation, no one dared to creep after them.
After following, he gradually retired, and Cheng participated in the change of Xuanwu Gate and was promoted to General Right Wuwei. During the Zhenguan period, Lu Guogong changed his name and became one of the twenty-four outstanding figures in Lingyange.
In Legend, Cheng was the first lucky general in history. He lived 100 years old. He still played an important role in the brief introduction of Xue and He until the collapse of Wu Zetian's regime and was regarded as a lucky star by later generations.
But the fact is that in 656, when Cheng, who was over 60 years old, led an army against Turks, he connived his men to kill thousands of soldiers and divide their property. In the end, he was dismissed by the court, which put a late holiday in jeopardy.
