Why did Li Guang, a famous Han Dynasty star, finally commit suicide?

Li Guang, a famous soldier in Han Dynasty, was brave and good at fighting. He fought against Xiongnu more than 70 times in his life, and his reputation spread far and wide. Xiongnu fled, calling him "General Fei". "But it's not Huma crossing the Yinshan Mountain that makes the Dragon City fly", "But when it comes to the hardships of desert war, we named Li today, a great general who lived a long time ago" are all famous sentences praising him. However, Li Guang's failure to seal the marquis caused great regret in the history circle and numerous disappointments among the people.

In the early Han Dynasty, especially in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they were equally famous. One is the current satrap of Hebei Province, and the other is the satrap of northern Shaanxi today. At that time, most governors were on the border. Li Guang is a very famous person. Li Guang trained with kindness rather than discipline, so every general had a good friendship with him. During the war, his marching arrangements were free and eclectic. The cavalry he led was excellent, and the traditional marching arrangement in China was replaced by mobility. So Li Guang's troops often win battles, and sometimes even Serenade can win more with less.

On the ability of commanding operations, people say that "Li Guang is brilliant, and he is brilliant at talking big and traveling to the West". He served as the military commander in the border area for a long time and fought in the front line of Xiongnu, which brought great pressure to Xiongnu, so that "Xiongnu was afraid of Li Guang's strategy". He even got the recognition of Hun Khan, who told him that Li Guang must be captured alive in the battle. Even the opponent admires, which may be the highest praise for a person's ability.

Li Guang is brave and skillful in archery. When Sun Xiekun was in office, he once said, "Li Guang is brilliant, and he is brilliant in talking big and traveling westward." . Li Guang fought the Huns in Shang Jun. Because three Xiongnu archers killed all the eunuchs' attendants, Li Guang was very angry and led a small number of cavalry to attack. He personally shot and killed two Xiongnu soldiers and captured one. Unexpectedly, thousands of tarquin arrived, and the situation changed suddenly, and the soldiers were afraid. Li Guang was ordered in a crisis, ordered the soldiers to dismount and rest, and led the cavalry to shoot a Xiongnu general. The Huns thought that Li Guang was luring them to fight, so they dared not pursue Li Guang and finally retreated. The accident showed Li Guang's outstanding strategy.

Some people say that it is because the Han Dynasty, like the Qin Dynasty, regarded capturing the enemy's head as the theory of meritorious military service, and the Huns were afraid of Li Guang, so Li Guang didn't cut off his head, so the meritorious military service was not good. Some people think that during the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, the brilliant exploits of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing overshadowed Li Guang, and the small role of Li Guang was insignificant to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

After drinking, Emperor Han Jing regretted promising to let Liang Wang succeed to the throne in the future. At this time, he learned that Li Guang accepted Liang Wang's seal privately, thinking that Li Guang colluded with Liang Wang and was unfaithful to the court, so he didn't raise Li Guang.

After the pacification of the Seven-State Rebellion, Liang Xiaowang made great contributions to its development. He used to be an opponent of the imperial court. With the support of his mother, he even sent someone to assassinate more than a dozen court officials in Chang 'an.

Therefore, Li Guang, who made great contributions, was not rewarded by the imperial court, but was appointed as the frontier satrap to resist the Huns.

This is probably the closest to Hou Feng in Li Guang. But his ignorance of the political undercurrent made him miss this opportunity.

Li Guang is a veteran of three dynasties. Wendi said that he was born at a bad time. If you catch up with Gaozu and conquer the world, you can seal Wan Huhou. " However, when Emperor Jingdi put down the "Seven-country Rebellion", Li Guang made great contributions, but he was not rewarded for accepting the seal of the general awarded by Liang Wang. This should be the beginning of Li Guang's tragic career.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after the rule of Wenjing, the country was rich and powerful, and the army was strong. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to fight against the Xiongnu on a large scale. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that Li Guang was old and unlucky, so he deliberately refused to let him lead the troops against the Huns. Li Guang fought for decades, but never got the title of Marquis. He is deeply concerned about this matter and wants to make some military achievements, hoping to get a title. Moreover, compared with Lian Po, Li Guang thinks that body art can still ride a horse to kill the enemy and serve the country. So, Li Guang insisted on leading the troops to war, and finally forced the Emperor Wu to agree.

According to historical records, Li Guang once talked with Wang Shuo, a fortune teller, and said, "Every time I fight with the Huns, I never fail to attend. And many of my men are not as good as me, but there are dozens of them waiting for the Huns. I am no worse than others. Why have I made so many contributions and not been blocked? Don't I have fate? Or is it fate? " Wang Shuo said, "General, do you think you have done anything you can regret?" Li Guang thought for a moment and said, "When I was the prefect of Longxi, I lured them and killed them. The biggest regret so far is only this matter. " The dynasty said, "There is no greater crime than human beings. So it can't be sealed. "

It is such a tiger general that made the Huns feel frightened and failed to seal Hou all his life! What the hell is going on here? Because Li Guang is tired of fame! Because Li Guang guarded the border in his early years, his fame was very popular among Huns, who were very afraid of Li Guang. So every time Li Guang goes out to fight, he will meet the Xiongnu army to intercept and kill him. Brave as Li Guang was, he was defeated by his fist. As a result, every time he led an attack, it became common to lose troops. Once he was even captured by Huns, and he found a way to escape.

The reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a turning point in Li Guang's life. In 129 BC, that is, in the sixth year of Han Yuanguang, Liu Che sent Wei Qing, Li Guang, Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He to attack the Xiongnu, which was the biggest military action against the Xiongnu since the siege of Deng Bai in the Great Han Dynasty. It's a pity that this time the Fourth Route Army was anticlimactic. Only Wei Qing, who had been unknown before, made great achievements in attacking Liuzhou, while Li Guang failed with less blows and was captured and escaped.

Li Guang sympathizes with foot soldiers and loves soldiers like children, but he seems to be at the mercy of women. Li Guang is honest. When he got the reward, he gave it to his subordinates and shared it with the soldiers. Only when the soldiers had finished eating and drinking did Li eat and drink. But what about the result? Because of Li Guang's personal heroic style, he likes to be brave in the war and put his troops in danger many times. As a result, more than half of the Han soldiers were killed or injured. Li Guang, a lifelong satrap of seven counties, fought against Huns for more than 40 years and experienced more than 70 battles. In the "Seven-country Rebellion" put down by Emperor Jingdi, it won the banner of the rebels in Changyi City. Why is such a famous player forced to commit suicide because he can't be knighted for life?

In the 14th year of Emperor Wendi, the Huns invaded the border, and Li Guang joined the army, with a good family and fought against the Huns. Because he was good at using arrows, he killed and captured many enemies, and was promoted to Hanzhong Lang, guarding the emperor with knights.
