Chapter 122: On the Heroes of the World
Speaking of heroes, Han Dong would like to know who are the famous heroes now.
After all, many of the heroes who appeared in history or novels during this time period were already famous.
At the moment, Han Dong asked with interest:
"Brother Xiong, besides Yuwen Chengdu and your brother Wu Yunzhao, are there any heroes in the world today?"
Hearing this, Xiong Hai lowered his head, thought for a while, and said:
"Most of the world-famous heroes are in the Sui army. However, there are many anti-wang rebels now, and there are also many famous heroes among them!"
"Among the Sui armies, the most famous one is the 'Nine Elders of the Sui Dynasty'. Among them, the loyal and filial king Wu Jianzhang is the father of brother Wu Yunzhao!"
"The 'Nine Elders of Kaisui' have been famous for decades, but most of them are already too old. The only one who still has fighting power is the 'backer king' Yang Lin!"
Han Dong nodded. He knew this. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the "Nine Elders of the Kai Sui Dynasty" fought in the south and the north. They made great achievements and were naturally powerful in the world.
But when it comes to Tang Zhong, there is only one "backer king" Yang Lin who is supporting the overall situation. The other eight are old and dead, and few of them have appeared.
Although Yang Lin is old and is now over 70 years old, he is still ranked eighth in the ranking list.
When he was young, he was probably no worse than the three Xiongkuohai brothers ranked fourth, fifth and sixth!
Xiong Kuohai continued:
"In addition, the commander-in-chief of Hulao Pass is a master and apprentice, has extraordinary martial arts, and possesses the 'Four Treasures', which is also famous far and wide!"
Han Dong said 'hmm'.
Master Shang, the tenth best man in the hero rankings, was also a powerful figure. Unfortunately, he was played by Wagang's army and committed suicide in the end. The four treasures he left behind were also advantaged by Qin Shubao.
"There is also Wei Wentong, the commander-in-chief of Tongguan, who is good at swordsmanship and is called the 'Flower Sword Commander'. He is also a famous hero!"
This is a master, Han Dong nodded.
Wei Wentong was ninth on the list of heroes. He once fought with Qin Qiong, who was ranked thirteenth. Qin Qiong fled while fighting. In each battle, he could not last more than a few rounds and then ran away.
Obviously his combat power far exceeds that of Qin Qiong!
In fact, Wei Wentong's ranking is a bit low in the novel. If it weren't for his seniority, he should not be lower than Yang Lin. His strength is probably not much different from that of Xiong Kuohai brothers.
It's a pity that when he was chasing Qin Qiong, he was shot to death by Uncle Wang as a cold arrow!
Speaking of Qin Qiong, a figure who has been passed down through the ages, he can be said to be the "touchstone" for heroes in the Tang Dynasty.
Anyone who is stronger than Qin Qiong will chase Qin Qiong and fight. Anyone who cannot defeat Qin Qiong will be ravaged by Qin Qiong.
After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, all those above Qin Qiong in the ranking of heroes died. From then on, Qin Qiong was invincible!
It feels like the tiger is gone and the monkey is king!
"There is also Xin Wenli, the commander-in-chief of Hongxia Pass, who is said to be able to 'pull eight horses down and pull down nine oxen'. He is also a figure!"
Xiong Kuohai said.
Han Dong nodded silently.
Xin Wenli, number 11 in the hero rankings, is another hero chasing after Qin Qiong!
The most awesome thing he did was to set up a fire and thunder array and kill Pei Yuanqing, who was ranked third.
The final outcome was that he was besieged by the heroes of Wagang, was successfully attacked by Qin Qiong, and died from a random knife attack.
"correct!"
Xiongkuohai added:
"Luo Yi, the king of Beiping in Youzhou, guards Youzhou so that the Turkic tribes dare not invade. It is said that his shooting skills are mysterious and unpredictable. He can shoot out six spear flowers, which makes people hard to guard against. He is very famous!"
Luo Yi, Han Dong knew, was indeed a master of marksmanship.
However, both in terms of fame and strength, he was far inferior to his son Luo Chengdu.
Luo Cheng ranks seventh on the list of heroes. He can shoot out seven spear flowers with one shot, so he is known as the "Seven Stamens of a Plum Blossom". His marksmanship is famous for its variety.
In another book "The Legend of Xing Tang", Luo Cheng even beat Li Yuanba into a panic.
However, at this time, Luo Cheng was not famous yet, Li Yuanba and Pei Yuanqing were still young and had not come out, and the reputation of the three of them had not spread, so Xiong Kuohai didn't know about it.
After talking for a long time, Xiong Kuohai, a master of the Sui army, changed his subject and said:
"There are many rebels in the world now. Among them, Wagang Mountain is the most powerful. Cheng Yaojin, known as the 'Devil King of the Worlds', as well as Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang and others, are quite famous!"
These people are famous in history, let alone in this world, so Han Dong is naturally more familiar with them.
However, among them, only Qin Qiong is considered a master. In addition, Cheng Yaojin's "Three-Blade Ax" is also good, but the others are far behind the heroes mentioned above.
Having said this, Xiong Kuohai sighed and said regretfully to Han Dong:
"It's a pity that Brother Han will return to the mountain in a year. Otherwise, we would also raise an army to rebel, cede territory and become king, and become independent from the government. How happy it would be!"
"With Brother Han's ability as the 'Invincible Gun King' and my old hero's help, we will definitely have a place among the heroes of the world!"
Han Dong was speechless after hearing this.
Listen to this tone, how easy and comfortable it is to talk about raising a flag to rebel, separatist power, and claiming kingship!
You are a bandit and bandit, what are you thinking about?
However, this is also a characteristic of this era.
I don’t know how Yang Guang managed it. Before he came to power, the world’s political system was harmonious, all countries were in Xianning, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
As a result, as soon as Yang Guang ascended the throne, the world was in chaos.
In just a few years, the great empire that Yang Jian had conquered was completely defeated.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was no ordinary emperor. In more than ten years, he unified the Central Plains, which had been at war for more than two hundred years. He spent another ten years to manage the country in an orderly manner and bring great order to the world.
Li Laoer's Zhenguan rule and the policies he implemented, whether it was opening imperial examinations to promote poor families or anything else, were all copied from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty!
It's a pity that Yang Jian died too early and met a prodigal like Yang Guang!
Otherwise, I’m afraid nothing will happen to the Tang Dynasty!
Seeing Xiong Kuohai's regretful expression, Han Dong resisted the urge to complain.
Unexpectedly, this rough man with thick eyebrows and big eyes also has such lofty ideals!
No wonder, this guy would later instigate himself to talk about being a saint and calling himself king!
However, in the end, he is just a bandit!
Except for Wagang, who took refuge with Li Laoer early on, none of the Eighteenth Route Army rebels against the king and the Sixty-fourth Route Army Yanchen in the Sui and Tang Dynasties had a good end!
Forget about mentioning these!
Han Dong smiled and said:
"After all, I am an outsider. I have seen all the heroes in the world, so I have to go back to the mountain. I'm afraid I won't be able to help Brother Xiong too much!"
"However, with Brother Yixiong's skills, I believe you will have a place in this world!"
After finishing speaking, Han Dong secretly said:
"Do you want to remind Xia Xiongkuohai to join Li Laoer in the future?"
"There's no rush for now, let's wait until I leave this world!"
Xiong Kuohai sighed again with regret, but in an instant, he said with joy:
"Thank you, Brother Han, for teaching me the art of standing on the horse. These days, I feel stronger than before, and my shots are more steady and powerful!"
"Given time, I may not be able to compete with Yuwen Chengdu!"
Han Dong smiled and said nothing.
Xiong Kuohai thought too much. Zhanmazhuang was indeed very helpful to those who had never practiced martial arts, but the improvement in combat power was not as great as he thought.
After all, standing on the horse stand is just a basic skill used to lay the foundation for the practice of Chinese martial arts!
The gap between Xiong Kuohai and Yuwen Chengdu is too big. Zhanmazhuang will hardly improve his martial arts to the point where he can surpass Yuwen Chengdu!
Shun Jin and Xiong Kuo Hai cannot be practiced no matter what, otherwise, Han Dong would not mind teaching them!
In the days that followed, Han Dong practiced hard in the mountains of Taihang.
Although there is no lubricated iron cylinder in the world of Devouring Starry Sky, the 6,000 kilogram load-bearing effect is significant.
The weight-bearing basically completely offsets the negative impact of excessive physical fitness on boxing practice.
With Han Dong's current master-level boxing skills, the tempering of the body and the development of internal energy have achieved the maximum efficiency they should have.
With the combination of both sides, Han Dong's state of Chinese martial arts is advancing by leaps and bounds!
Two months later, a huge change occurred!
