The Four Treasures General Shang Shi was the general of linyang guan in the Sui Dynasty, and his first appearance in "Speaking of Tang" was when Han Huhu attacked Nanyang Guanwu Yunzhao. In terms of martial arts, Shang Shi's apprentice sent Wu Yunzhao too much, but with the mount Hulei Leopard, he almost killed Wu Yunzhao, fortunately, Zhu Can saved him. At the time of the Battle of Nanyang Pass, Shang Shi and his apprentices were the chief soldiers of Lintong Pass.
The four treasures of Master Shang's apprentice are the Night Bright Helmet on his head, the seven-scaled armor on his body, the stove gun in his hand, and the Hulei Leopard. The list of good men in "Speaking of Tang" ranks tenth in the list of good men, and ranks in the fourth best in "The Biography of Xing Tang". When it comes to the Four Treasures of Shang Shi Ando, it is necessary to push forward, which was taught to Shang Shi Lang by his father Shang Shi Lang.
The period in which Shang Silang lived was the period of the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the beginning of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the north and south had not yet been unified, and Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty after usurping the throne. In order to complete the hegemony of the unification of the world, he began to use troops against Southern Chen, and under the absurd and unscrupulous rule of Lord Chen Hou, it was only a matter of time before Southern Chen perished. Shang Silang's family lived in Quanjiao City, ruled by Southern Chen, and the family was in the cloth business, and the family was quite well-off.
When Shang Shilang was twelve years old, his father died of illness and the family fell into the middle of the road. Leaving only orphans and widows to rely on each other, in the early years, Shang Silang's father set a family affair for Shang Silang, which was the Zhang family that did the cloth business in Quanjiao City. In ancient times, the parents' fate was a concubine's word, which could not be violated. Therefore, after Shang Silang became an adult, Shang Mu asked him to go to the Zhang family to propose to him.
But now is not the same as in the past, the Zhang family's business is booming, and Zhang Yuanwai intends to marry his daughter to the son of the lord of Quanjiao City. In order to ensure their own family business, the marriage between officials and businessmen is the most reliable. After Shang Silang went to the door to propose to the family and was rejected, the young man still knew the reason why people took tea and cold. Therefore, Shang Shilang is also very helpless, if you don't agree, then forget it, and you will go home.
At this time, the old housekeeper of the Zhang family told Miss Zhang about this, and Miss Zhangjia heard that her fiancé came to the door to propose to her relatives and was refused. With the help of the old butler, he sneaked to Shang Silang's house and became a relative of Shang Silang. After this matter was known to the son of the lord of Quanjiao City, he led his troops to arrest Shang Silang's family. Under the ventilation of the old housekeeper of the Zhang family, Shang Silang led the old mother and his newlywed wife to escape to the mountains.
Because Shangmu was frightened, she soon fell ill and died. Shang Silang vowed to avenge his mother, and Shang Silang had heard that there were high people on the Huangshan Mountain. He explained the situation to his wife, and his wife Zhang Shi also supported her husband. After Shang Silang arranged for Zhang to live in a relative's house, he went to Huangshan to learn art.
The Gao people who lived in seclusion in the Huangshan Mountains turned out to be the chief soldiers of Changchun Pass in Southern Chen, named Ning Luchen. Ning Luchen was dissatisfied with the Southern Chen court's traitorous courtiers, so he resigned his official post and went into hiding in Huangshan. Ning Luchen was childless and had only two daughters, the eldest daughter married Qin Yi, the son of Qin Xu, the Southern Chen Emperor. That is, Qin Qiong's mother, so Ning Luchen is Qin Qiong's grandfather. The second daughter married Qiu Rui, who was Qin Qiong's uncle.
It is said that after Shang Silang came to Huangshan, after many tribulations, he finally worshiped Ning Luchen as his teacher. Ning Luchen taught Shang SiLang martial arts during the day and the art of war at night. Three years passed in a flash, and due to his old age, Ning Luchen fell ill. The world always can't escape the barrier of life, old age, illness and death, and at the time of death, Ning Luchen told Shang Silang about the past and passed on the armor and weapons to Shang Silang.
Now that master has died and his skills have been learned almost completely, there is no need for Shang Silang to stay on the mountain. Prepare to go down the mountain to pick up his wife Zhang Shi and seek revenge on the father and son of the lord of Quanjiao City. Shang Shilang, who had just come down from the mountain, happened to encounter a group of ringing horses robbing, and Shang Shilang, who was full of justice, thought to himself, after studying art for a few years, today he just took this gang of robbers to practice.
The leader of this gang of robbers is named Zhang Qing, riding a strange horse with a tiger and leopard pattern. Seeing that someone was strong, he raised his gun and slapped his horse and stabbed at Shang Shilang. Zhang Qing did not take this young man in his eyes at all, and despised your opponent, that is, he was looking for his own death. Zhang Qing did not expect that this young man was skilled in martial arts, and there was no doubt that he was stabbed to death by Shang Silang.
Shang Silang, who had just descended the mountain, did not yet have a mount, and just snatched Zhang Qing's strange horse. The name of this mount was Called Hulei Leopard, and since then, the four treasures of the Shang family have been collected. The armor and weapons were sent by Ning Luchen, and the horse was snatched from the robber Zhang Qing.
On the other hand, Emperor Wen of Sui sent Yang Jian to lead 300,000 troops south to attack Chen. The Southern Chen army could not resist the attack of the Sui army, and soon the Sui army arrived at Changping Pass. At this time, the defender of Changping Pass was Qiu Rui, and Yang Lin knew that Qiu Rui had a lot of complaints about the Southern Chen Dynasty. He sent his subordinate Han Huhu to lobby Qiu Rui, and after Qiu Rui weighed the pros and cons, he directly surrendered to the Sui army. After Yang Lin made Yang Jian the Emperor of Sui, he crowned Qiu Rui as the King of Changping.
After Qiu Rui surrendered to Sui, he made a military contribution for the Sui Dynasty's Southern Chen, so he also put Qiu Rui in the position of the Ninth Elder of the Sui Dynasty. Ning Luchen was Qiu Rui's father-in-law, Shang Silang was also Ning Luchen's apprentice, and Qiu Rui and Shang Silang were also officials in the Sui Dynasty. The relationship between the two families was definitely good, so it was only natural that the Four Treasures Grand General Shang Shi's apprentice had become Qiu Rui's apprentice.
In the early Sui Dynasty, Qiu Ruixian surrendered to the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wagangzhai rebelled against Sui, and Qiu Rui originally led the troops to quell the rebellion, but as a result, Qiu Rui could not defeat Wagang and surrendered to Wagangzhai again. Now that the rebels from Wagangzhai had come to attack Linyang Pass, Qiu Rui wanted to persuade Shang Shi and his disciples to surrender.
Master Shang also knew that Qiu Rui must have come to be a lobbyist, but the food of the king, the loyalty of the king. Shang Shi and his apprentices are not like Qiu Rui who casually renegade, so after seeing Qiu Rui, they don't have a good face. Although each of them is their master, Qiu Rui is after all the master of Shang's master and apprentice, not to mention that his father still has such a big relationship there.
Why would Shang Shi and apprentices kill Qiu Rui fiercely, and did not care about the relationship between master and apprentice at all. You must know that in ancient times, there was a saying that one day was a master and a father for life, and the master was half a father. But you have to admire another ancient saying, since the ancient loyalty and filial piety dilemma, the jun is always in front of the pro. Therefore, in the face of the great righteousness of the country, Shang Shi and his disciples chose to be loyal to the emperor, and Qiu Rui's two defections also made Shang Shi and his disciples who chose to be loyal to the country look down on him in their hearts.
Qiu Rui saw that he could not persuade Shang Shi and his disciples to surrender, and directly chose to use force. He didn't think that he couldn't beat his apprentice, but he was shot down by Shang Shi's apprentice and killed Qiu Rui on the spot. Shang Shi and Apprentice were not the fiercest of the Great Sui Dynasty, but they were indeed the most loyal. He knew that the Great Sui River was about to collapse, but he still had no hesitation to repay the emperor's favor.
When the Wagang army broke through Linyang Pass and the crowd surrounded Shang Shi and apprentices, Qin Qiong was still persuading Shang Shi and his apprentices. As long as Shang Shi and his disciples agreed to surrender, not only would they not die, but they would have a certain position in Wagang. Unfortunately, Master Shang only entrusted a few treasures and only son to Qin Qiong, and chose to commit suicide to repay the country.
A loyal and righteous man like Shang Shi disciple was disgusted with Qiu Rui's kind of casual apostasy. Therefore, when he killed Qiu Rui, he didn't even blink his eyes.
