The character Tieu Phong is also recorded in history. However, instead of a hero with a miserable life like in the story, Tieu Phong’s life is much more fulfilling. Photo: Sohu
He was a Khitan great minister. When Gia Luat Hong Co ascended the throne, he was named Thai Bao. In 1048, Tieu Phong defeated the Tra Bo tribe, and the following year continued to destroy the Di Liet tribe. Photo: Sohu
This great minister also had the merit of discovering and secretly plotting to create treason of the royal family like Gia Luat Trung Nguyen, then led the army to quell the rebellion, and forced Trung Nguyen to commit suicide in the northern desert. Photo: Sohu
With illustrious achievements, he was crowned King of Southern Vietnam by Gia Luat Hong Co, living in grace and respect. In 1065, Tieu Phong fell ill and died, the king loved him and made him the prince of Liaoxi county. Photo: Sohu
According to some other sources, the character Tieu Phong may also have material from another archetype in history, which is Truc Chi – the eldest son of Genghis Khan’s unclear identity. Photo: Sohu
Chi Chi (1180 – 1227) was the first son of Genghis Khan and also a brave and talented warrior. During his life, he made many outstanding achievements, helping Genghis Khan to conquer the Mongol tribes, defeat the Jin state, and conquer many lands in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Photo: Sohu
However, like Tieu Phong in the Kim Dung story, Truc Chi has to live a bitter life because of his unclear background. Photo: Sohu
The conflict between Trucchi and Chagatai caused the Mongol army to delay the attack on Urgench and made Genghis Khan very angry. Truc Chi was stripped of the command of the campaign by Genghis Khan and handed over to Oa Kwottai – the third son. Photo: Sohu
Before his death, Genghis Khan also chose Wo Kuotai as his successor, not Chi Chi. At the end of 1226, Genghis Khan wanted to fight Tay Lieu, but when he gathered his army, Truc Chi did not come because he was sick. Photo: Sohu
Genghis Khan was angry, suspecting that Truc Chi wanted to rebel. In February 1227, Genghis Khan was about to send his army to punish his son when he suddenly received news that Truc Chi had died of a serious illness. Photo: Sohu
