I saw a question on "Zhihu" today, asking "Who is more powerful, Luo Cheng or Qin Qiong, in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?". This is an interesting question, so I’ll spare some time and say a few words.

In the romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the cousins ??Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng are famous and remarkable figures. Not only are they handsome and extraordinary, but they also have the same abilities. Very good at martial arts.

Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao are famous heroes in Shandong. The names of people and the shadows of trees, in the rivers and lakes, when Qin Qiong's name is heard, everyone knows it. Especially the friend on the Green Forest Road, that guy admires Brother Qin so much. Among the heroes in the sixty-three provinces of the south, seven north and south, they all have the thumbs up for Qin Qiong's character, and everyone wants to get close to the second brother.

Qin Qiong is also worthy of his respect, and the world praises him as "a filial mother who competes with Zhuanzhu, and makes friends like Meng Chang; his horse rides on both sides of the Yellow River, his mace hits half of the sky in the six prefectures of Jiuzhou, Shandong, he is a great protector with magic fists, and a general with two maces." Just hearing about this person's name makes me feel like a huge loser.

These words are indeed true. Qin Qiong is unambiguous in terms of ability. He has a yellow gelding on his crotch, a pair of four-edged gold maces in his palm, and a gold compilation furnace gun, which is very popular in the world. There are rivals. Mr. Qin is worthy of being a well-known Shandong hero and a hero in the world.

Let’s talk about Luo Cheng. According to Zhao Benshan’s words, “the young man is quite handsome”, otherwise he would be known as “Qiao Luo Cheng”. Luo Chengnai was the son of Luo Yi, King of Peking, and he was already famous in the area when he was fourteen years old. In the palm of his hand is a flying silver spear with five hooks, and under his crotch is a handsome horse called "Little White Dragon of the West." The horseshoe and spear under his crotch each had two unique skills. One move was the plum blossom with seven stamens, plus the carbine spear. I don't know how many heroes died under his magic spear.

Luo Cheng is a playful young man with excellent martial arts skills, but he is also serious and arrogant, so he is also known as "Qiao Luo Cheng with cold face and cold spear". But when it comes to character, Luo Cheng is really not that good. He is a bit wilted and damaged, and he does a lot of immoral things. Therefore, while being praised by people in the world, he was also scolded as a "sinister, sinister, poisonous, spicy, and ruthless" villain. In this regard, he is far behind his cousin Qin Qiong. If it weren't for the fact that he had done too many immoral things, his life would not have been shortened by 50 years and he would have died tragically early due to random arrows.

Having mentioned their character, let’s talk about their martial arts. When it comes to martial arts, to be honest, Qin Qiong is no match for Luo Cheng, and Luo Cheng can kill Qin Qiong instantly in more than ten rounds. If one day the two brothers fell out, Luo Cheng could do it and stab his eldest cousin to death without blinking an eyelid. Qin Qiong is a benevolent and righteous person, and he cannot do such a thing as harming his brother, so in this regard, he lost to Luo Cheng.

Looking at the rankings of the two, Luo Cheng ranked seventh among the Sui and Tang Dynasties, second only to Wu Yunzhao, the prefect of Nanyang. Wu Yunzhao's kung fu was incredible. A 160-pound silver snake spear that weighed eight feet was able to defeat all the invincible opponents in the world. He fought alone at Nanyang Pass against "Tianbao General" Yuwen Chengdu. When Yangzhou won the championship, the general Temujin of the old Turkic British king used a 180-pound mixed iron rod to defeat Wang Bodang, one of the Five Tigers of Wagang. After Wu Yun summoned his horse, he killed Temujin with just two shots. It can be seen that if Wang Bodang and Wu Yunzhao fight, Wang Bodang can be killed within one round. Generals such as Shan Xiongxin, Su Dingfang, Wang Junke, Cheng Yaojin, etc. who are comparable in martial arts to Wang Bodang are also the same. If they really fight against Wu Yunzhao, these heroes will die one by one. If Wu Yunzhao and Luo Cheng fight together, there will be no problem in a draw between the two, but Luo Cheng will probably suffer a bit. But if Wu Yunzhao beats Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong will suffer a loss. He can last for 5 rounds at most, and he will be unable to withstand any more.

Qin Qiong ranked 13th among the romances of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, on the same level as Yuchi Gong. Luo Cheng ranked seventh, and Qin Qiong ranked 13th, which was only half the difference. If you want to defeat Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong are probably about the same. When it comes to fighting alone, Qin Qiong is 100% incompetent.

Having said that, let’s stop here. An idle article should be regarded as nonsense.
