The origin of "doing anything for a friend" is that Qin went to Dengzhou to pretend to be a horse in order to save a friend. When passing Liang Lizhuang, he thought of his mother's wife and children at the fork, hesitated for a moment, went to Runanzhuang one way, Dengzhou another way, and finally went to Dengzhou as a friend. The fork in Liang Lizhuang reflects Qin Qiong's deep friendship and is known as Liang Lizhuang.

Over time, the phrase "Qin Wei friend took a fork in the road" spread and became "Qin Wei friend took a knife".

2, blunt array chop will

According to the old and new records of the Tang Dynasty, every time Qin Qiong made a conquest with Li Shimin, the generals behind the enemy lines often showed off that they were better than Ma Zhuang, so Li Shimin released Qin Qiong and single-handedly killed the enemy generals in the crowd. But the history books do not record in detail which enemy generals were killed.

3. Door keeper

There is a long-standing folk custom of sticking door gods in the New Year, that is, sticking portraits of Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong on the door during the New Year. According to legend, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, King Jinghe made a bet with the fortune teller, and as a result, he broke the dogma and should be punished. The Jade Emperor appointed Wei Zhi as the supervisor. King Jinghe pleaded with Emperor Taizong for his life.

Emperor Taizong agreed, and when the dragon was killed, he summoned Wei Zhi to fight with him. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhi took a nap in the rain, and his soul ascended to heaven and beheaded the Dragon King. The Dragon King complained that Taizong had broken his word and cried outside the palace day and night for his life. Emperor Taizong told his ministers that General Qin Baoshu was willing to stand outside the door in uniform with Wei Chijingde. Emperor Taizong agreed.

There was really nothing that night. Emperor Taizong couldn't bear the hardships of the two generals, and ordered Dan Qing, a highly skilled painter, to draw the true faces of the two generals and stick them on the door. Later generations followed suit, so the two generals became gatekeepers of thousands of families. Among them, Qin Qiong is the one who holds the scepter. It is Wei Chijingde who wields the whip. This allusion is an important plot in the novel The Journey to the West.

4. Qin Qiong sells horses.

Qin Qiong was in trouble in Luzhou, so poor that he couldn't even afford to stay in a hotel. First, he pawned his personal weapon, the golden double mace, and then even his own mount, the yellow horse, was rushed to sell. But people are unlucky, everything goes wrong, and no one even wants a horse.

Fortunately, when I met an old man selling firewood, I was moved by compassion and led Qin to say, "There is an Erxian Village outside Ximenwai 15. The owner of the village is Shan Hao Xiong Xin, ranking second. People call it Second Hospital. I want to buy a good horse for my friends. " Qin Qiong heard about Dan Xiong Xin's name in Luzhou for a long time, so he introduced him to Erxian Village to meet Mr. Yamaji.

Ashamed to say his real name and surname, he only called Wang and took the horse price and left. Later, Dan Xiong Xin learned from others that the horse was sold by Qin Qiong of Jinan, Shandong Province, and immediately caught up with him, holding Qin Qiong's face and saying, "Uncle Bao, you want to kill Shan Cecilia Yip." The two heroes finally got to know each other, and Dan Xiong Xin's hospitality made Uncle Bao stay in Erxian Village for eight months.

When he left, Dan Xiong Xin gave his Huang Ma a gold stirrup and a silver saddle, and gave Ruth and a large sum of money. Since then, they have become close friends. Subsequently, the two men became close in the peasant uprising that overthrew the Sui Dynasty, creating indelible contributions for the insurgents.

5. Run to the king

In the 14th year of Great Cause (6 18), in March, Yu Wenhuaji launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, killing Emperor Yang Di Yang Guang, and then led more than 100,000 soldiers back to Guanzhong. In order to avoid being caught between Scylla and Charybdis, Shi Biao agreed to Mao Zhu Di's request and sent troops to attack Yu Wenhuaji through the crock, on the condition that he helped the court in the East.

In July, Wagangjun and Yu Wenhuaji Army fought in Tongshan, Liyang, and the fierce battle lasted from early morning to dusk. In the melee, Shi Biao was shot by a flowing arrow and fell into a coma. All his men escaped and almost fell into the hands of the pursuers. Thanks to Qin Qiong's desperate defense, he was able to escape. After the rescue of Shi Biao, Qin Qiong assembled the defeated army, fought against Yu Wenhuaji's military forces, and finally repelled them.

In September of the same year, the Wagang Army was weakened after defeating Yu Wenhuaji, but Shi Biao himself became conceited because of his victory. He no longer sympathized with the soldiers and alienated his subordinates. At the same time, because of his contempt for the king, he didn't even build a barrier when camping.

Wang took advantage of it and broke Shi Biao at the foot of Mangshan Mountain. After Shi Biao's defeat, fearing Zhai Rang's revenge, he fled to Chang 'an and came to Tang Gaozu. After being captured, he temporarily defected to the king and named him General Long Xiang.
