Li Yuanba is much more powerful than Qin Qiong. Why does everyone say that Guan Gong hit Qin Qiong, not Li Yuanba?

Anyone who has read The Legend of Heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties knows that Li Yuanba is the first powerful figure in it, but there is no such figure in the epic. Qin Qiong did exist, and he was one of the best generals at that time, so everyone would say that Guan Gong hit Qin Qiong instead of Li Yuanba.

We heard the story of Guan Yu and Qin Qiong fighting in the cross talk. Guan Yu was a general in the Three Kingdoms, and Qin Qiong was a general in the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later. These two people are not close at all. How can they fight? This cross talk joke was originally meant for people who didn't pretend to understand, but later people like to use it to describe people who like to be confused. There are still people who think that Guan Yu was an uncountable figure in the Three Kingdoms, while Qin Qiong ranked 13th in the heroic biography of Sui and Tang Dynasties. It seems that there is no comparison between them. It should be said that Li Yuanba was the best in the Tang Dynasty.

Because of the novels, many people mistakenly think that these people are real, but in fact, the characters in the heroic biography of Sui and Tang Dynasties, that is, Qin Qiong, are relatively real, and most of the rest are based on prototypes. Shi Biao once said that with Qin Qiong at his side, his 8,000 troops could resist millions of elite soldiers, which showed that Qin Qiong was a very powerful general. According to the Book of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong once put his stable underground with one hand, but a dozen enemy troops failed to pull it out. It can also be said that Qin Qiong's fighting capacity was very strong at that time.

Qin Qiong has been fighting all his life. Due to serious injuries, he later faded out of the court of the Tang Dynasty, which made him the last of the 24 strong men in Li Shimin. Perhaps it is precisely because of this ranking that the heroic novels of Sui and Tang Dynasties are at the bottom. This makes us despise the real power of Qin Qiong. Generally speaking, Qin Qiong, like Guan Yu, was the most powerful general in their dynasty, that is, Guan Yu beat Qin Qiong, which was also very comparable.
