Who is Li Guang?

Li Guang (? -Former 1 19), Han nationality, was born in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Jingning, Gansu), and was a famous Western Han Dynasty. In the 14th year of Emperor Wendi (BC 166), he joined the army to attack the Huns because of his meritorious service. Jingdi was appointed as the magistrate of seven counties in the northern border region. Emperor Wu ascended the throne and was called the palace guard. In the sixth year of Yuanguang (former 129), he served as a general and led more than 10,000 people to ride out of Yanmen (now Youyunan, Shanxi) to attack the Xiongnu. Due to the disparity in numbers, he was injured and captured. Xiongnu soldiers put them between two horses, and Li Guang played dead. On the way, he jumped and galloped home. Later, he served as the magistrate of Youbeiping County (Zhipinggang County, now southwest of Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia). Huns are afraid of clothes and call them flying generals. They dared not attack for years. In the fourth year of Yuanshou, Li Guang was the former general in the Battle of Mobei.
