Is anybody interested in doing a ranking list for the heroes of the 隋唐英雄 (Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties) series?
I came upon an incomplete Wikipedia ranking list for the historical novel Shuo Tang 说唐, which is where majority of the 隋唐英雄 characters originated from. The characters were ranked by their physical strength and martial arts skills.

I love the first 4 of the 隋唐英雄 series (the 5th one not so much) and thought it'll be fun to try to rank the rest of the heroes that were in the tv series but were not in/or were not described in detail in the Shou Tang novel (such as the female heroes!). If youve seen this series, where would you rank these heroes into the above list?
隋唐英雄 1+2
Cheng Yao Jin (程咬金)
Yuchi Jingde (尉迟敬德)
Li Shi Min (李世民)
Chen YaoJin's Wife Hua Dajao 花大脚
Chen YaoJin's Wife Pei CuiCui 裴翠翠

And pretty sure I left out a whole bunch of other chars. There're so many.
