Life of the characters
Early experience
Qin Qiong, a native of Licheng, Qizhou. During the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, Qin Qiong worked in the future child care account of the Sui Dynasty. When Qin Qiong's mother died, she came to protect her son and sent someone to mourn. The soldiers were surprised by this, so they asked laihu'er, "many soldiers died and there were funerals at home. Why does the general only mourn Qin Shubao's family?" Laihu'er replied, "this man is brave and ambitious. He will be rich in the future. How can he be treated as a humble man?"
In December of 614, the tenth year of Daye in Sui Dynasty, Lu Mingyue, the rebel leader of Zhuo County, led more than 100000 troops to attack zhu'a (xiapi), and Qin Qiong followed Zhang xutuo, the commander of Qi County, to fight. Zhang xutuo's troops, with a total of more than 10000 people, were unable to compete with Lu Mingyue's troops. He went down to the village six or seven miles outside the rebel camp and confronted them for decades. In the future, food and grass will be exhausted. The situation is very unfavorable. Zhang xutuo said to the soldiers, "when Lu Mingyue sees our army retreating, he will come to pursue us. When the camp is empty, if someone leads a thousand troops to attack the camp, he will win by surprise. But this action is really dangerous. I don't know who can go? " No one answered, but Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin fought. Zhang xutuo asked them to lead thousands of soldiers to lie in ambush among the reeds, and led the army to flee by pretending to abandon the camp. After that, Lu Mingyue rushed out to pursue him. Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Seeing that the gate of the enemy's camp was closed and unable to enter, they climbed the gate tower, pulled down the Rebel Flag, killed several people respectively, then cut off the door lock and put the ambush outside the gate, setting fire to more than 30 barracks of Lu Mingyue's army. When Lu Mingyue came back in a hurry, Zhang xutuo led the main force to turn around and kill Lu Mingyue. Lu Mingyue only led more than 100 cavalry to escape, and the rest of his men were captured. After the war, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were famous for their bravery. Later, Qin Qiong went with Zhang xutuo to Haiqu to fight against sun xuanya. She made the first contribution and was awarded the post of Jianjie Wei with her military contributions.
Running to the kings
In November of the 12th year of Daye (616), Qin Qiong followed Zhang xutuo to attack Wagang army. After feigning defeat by Li Mi, she was lured to ambush in Beilin area of Dahai temple. Zhang xutuo was trapped in a tight encirclement and exhausted to death. Qin Qiong led the remnant of the Sui army and attached to Pei Renji who was guarding the tiger prison.
In April of the 13th year of Daye (617), Pei Renji was at odds with Xiao Huaijing, the censor of the Jianjun army. He was successfully appeased by Li Mi and killed Xiao Huaijing. He surrendered to Wagang with Hulao city. After Qin Qiong came back with Pei Renji, Li mi was very happy. He used Qin Qiong as the Hussar in the tent, and led the 8000 Nei army with Cheng Yaojin and others. His salary was very rich.
In March of 618, Yu wenhuaji launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, killing Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui Dynasty, and then led more than 100000 Xiaoguo imperial guards back to Guanzhong. In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, Li mi agreed to the request of Wagang to attack Yuwen Huaji. In July, Wagang army and Yuwen Huaji army fought in Liyang. The fierce battle lasted from early morning to dusk. In the scuffle, Li mi was shot by a flowing arrow, fell into a horse and fainted. All his subordinates fled and almost fell into the hands of the pursuers. Fortunately, Qin Qiong spared no effort to defend them. After Li mi was rescued, Qin Qiong gathered the defeated army to fight with Yu Wenhua and his army, and finally repulsed him.
In September of the same year, Wagang army defeated Yuwen Huaji, and its strength was greatly damaged. Because of his victory, Li mi became proud and conceited, and no longer sympathized with the soldiers, which made his subordinates centrifugal. At the same time, because of his contempt for Wang Shichong, he did not even build barriers. Wang Shichong took the opportunity to launch a sudden attack and smashed Li mi at the foot of Mang Mountain. After Li Mi's defeat, he was afraid of Zhai's revenge and fled to Chang'an to Li Yuan. After being captured, Qin Qiong temporarily defected to Wang Shichong and was appointed general Longxiang.
Go to Li Tang
In February of the second year of Wude (619) of Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong, who was not ashamed of Wang Shichong's treacherous behavior, joined Cheng Yaojin and others in the battle between Tang and Zheng armies in Jiuqu and defected to Li Tang. Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, arranged Qin Qiong to take office in Li Shimin's house. Li Shimin had heard about Qin Qiong's bravery for a long time. He was very courteous to him and granted him the post of general manager of the horse army. He guarded the Changchun palace with him.
In November of the same year, song Jingang successively captured Jinzhou and Huizhou. In the Tang Dynasty, Hedong was in a state of emergency. Li Shimin dispatched soldiers from Guanzhong to lead Qin Qiong and others to the expedition. The Tang army crossed the Yellow River through the ice in Longmen and camped in Baibi to confront song Jingang. In December, Li Xiao, king of Yong'an, was defeated in Xia County. Tang Jian, Yu Yun and other Tang generals were captured by song general Yuchi Gong. On the way back to Huizhou after Yuchi Gong's victory, Li Shimin sent Qin Qiong and Yin Kaishan to smash it in meiliangchuan, beheading him more than 2000 levels.
In April 620, he lost the battle of King Kong. Song Jingang left the city for a decisive battle with Li Shimin. Li Shimin sent Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji to attack the north of the array, Zhai changsun and Qin Wutong to attack the south of the array, pretending to retreat after fighting with the song army. When song Jingang came to chase him, Li Shimin led his elite cavalry to attack the following troops. As a result, song Jingang was defeated and fled. Yuchi Gong and others sacrificed Jiexiu and Yong'an to the Tang Dynasty.
When meiliangchuan defeated Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong made the most contributions. Li Yuan gave Qin Qiong a Golden Vase and comforted Qin Qiong. He said, "you have come to me regardless of your wife and children. Now you have made such a great contribution. My flesh can be cut off for you to eat, not to mention giving some servants and money." So he worshipped Qin Qiong as the right third commander of the royal family of Qin. After annihilating King Kong of Song Dynasty, Qin Qiong was rewarded with 100 Jin of gold and 6000 pieces of miscellaneous colors, and was granted the title of Shangzhu state.
In July of the same year, Li Shimin led his army to Luoyang to attack Wang Shichong, taking Qin Qiong as the vanguard. During the expedition to Luoyang, Li Shimin selected an elite cavalry force of more than 1000 people and ordered it to wear black Xuanjia. It was divided into left and right teams. They were led by Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde and Zhai changsun. They were used as vanguards in each battle. They were invincible and the enemy was very afraid.
In March of the fourth year of Wude (621), Dou Jiande, king of Xia, allied with Wang Shichong and led more than 100000 new troops to Luoyang. Li Shimin left Li Yuanji and others to continue to besiege Luoyang and led Qin Qiong and other generals to hulaoguan to resist Dou Jiande. At the beginning of May, Li Shimin left more than a thousand horses to graze on the North Bank of the Yellow River, which made Dou Jiande think that the grass of the Tang army would be exhausted and lured him to attack. In the early morning of the next day, Dou Jiande's whole army marched out of niukou from Banzhu and approached Sishui to challenge the Tang army. Li Shimin, unable to get out of the army, secretly recalled his horses. At noon, when the soldiers of the Dou army were tired and rioted, he led the army to the east to rush into the enemy's line. It happened that the officials of Dou Jiande's court were in a panic for a time, but after a little retreat, they soon launched a counterattack. In the scuffle, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Shi Danai, Yu Wenxin and others followed Li Shimin through Dou's array and came to the rear of the enemy's array to launch the flag of the Tang army. Dou's army mistakenly thought that his own side had been defeated and fled in defeat. Finally, Dou Jiande was captured, and Wang Shichong went out of the city to surrender in despair. Qin Qiong led dozens of elite cavalry to break through the battle of Dou Jiande. After the war, Qin Qiong was granted the title of Duke of the wing state, and was rewarded with 100 Jin gold and 7000 pieces of silk.
In July of the same year, Dou Jiande was beheaded. His old generals were afraid of retaliation from the Tang Dynasty, so they set up Liu heikai to fight against the king and recovered all his former territory within half a year. In December, Qin Qiong followed Li Shimin to Hebei to fight the rebellion. In February of the fifth year of Wude (622), on the way of Liu heikai's march into Mingshui, Qin Qiong led the army to defeat him. Finally, after Liu heikai's failure, Qin Qiong was rewarded with a lot of materials.
In 626, Qin Qiong took part in the Xuanwumen incident and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji with Li Shimin. Afterwards, she was worshipped as a general of zuowuwei and was granted 700 family titles. Later, Qin Qiong often fell ill. Whenever she was ill, she said to people, "I've been in the army all my life. I've fought more than 200 battles, and I've been seriously injured many times. How can I not get sick?"
Death
In the 12th year of Zhenguan (638), Qin Qiong died of illness and was awarded as governor of Xuzhou and buried with Zhaoling. Li Shimin specially ordered that stone men and horses be built in front of Qin Qiong's tomb to show Qin Qiong's fighting achievements.
In 639, Qin Qiong was renamed Duke of Hu. In 643, Li Shimin ordered Yan Liben to draw portraits of 24 meritorious officials, including Qin Qiong, to be hung in Lingyan Pavilion for his memory and later generations' admiration.
