Li Guang's story (short and easy to understand) ~ ~ ~

Li Guang was born unknown, and his ancestors were Qin Dynasty general Li Xin, who led the army to defeat Yan Taizi Dan. Li Guang accepted the bow handed down from generation to generation and shot a good arrow. In the 14th year of Emperor Wendi (BC 166), the Huns invaded the border areas on a large scale, and Li Guang joined the army to fight against the Huns with his aristocratic children. Because he was good at using arrows, he was promoted to a doctor and guarded the emperor with knights. If your son becomes Emperor Gao, why are there feet everywhere? "("Historical Records Biography of General Li ") After Emperor Han Jing acceded to the throne, Li Guang became a captain in Longxi, and was soon promoted to ride the viceroy. During the period of the Seven-Power Allied Forces and Counter-insurgency, Li became a captain, and he was fighting with the insurgents with Zhou Yafu. He is famous for holding the beautiful flag of the rebels. Although Li Guang has made meritorious service, he accepted general print privately awarded by Liang Wang, but he was not rewarded after returning home. After the rebellion of the kings was put down. Xiongnu fought side by side on the day of Xiongnu. Sun Kun, a classical country, wrote: "Li Guang is brilliant, and he is conceited in his westward journey, and he will fight to the death with the enemy." ("Historical Records and Biography of Li") So he was appointed as the prefect. Later, Li Guang was appointed as the magistrate of Longxi, Beidi, Yanmen, Dai Jun and Yun Yun, and was famous for his ability to fight tough battles. Xiongnu invasion. Jingdi sent a trusted eunuch to lead and train the army against Xiongnu with Li Guang. On one occasion, the eunuch took dozens of cavalry to hunt, and three Xiongnu knights in Lu Yu fought with them. As a result, the Huns shot and killed all the guards and wounded eunuchs. The eunuch hurriedly fled back and reported to Li Guang. Li Guang decided that the three men were Xiongnu archers, so he led hundreds of cavalry to chase the three Xiongnu archers. Xiongnu archers walked without horses and were chased for dozens of miles. Li Guang ordered the cavalry to spread their wings and shot two Xiongnu archers himself, but one of them was captured alive. As soon as the prisoners were tied to their horses and headed back, thousands of tarkan arrived. When they saw Li Guang's army, they thought it was the suspected soldiers of the Han army who lured the enemy, and they were all surprised. Li Guang's one hundred cavalry, also very afraid, want to turn around and run back. Li Guang said: "I went to the army for dozens of miles, and now that's all. "Xiongnu will take me as the lure of the army and dare not attack me." (Biography of General Li in Historical Records) Li Guang ordered all cavalry to move on until they came to a place less than two miles away from the Xiongnu position. Li Guang ordered again: "Everybody dismount and untie the saddle!" (Biography of General Li in Historical Records) His cavalry said, "Being close to the enemy is urgent. What can you do? " (Biography of General Li in Historical Records) Li Guang said: "Pilu takes me as the way, and now he takes off his saddle to show that he can't go, so he can use his strength." ("Historical Records Biography of General Lee") tarquin really dared not attack. At this time, a Xiongnu general riding a white horse came out to protect his soldiers. Li Guang mounted his horse, took a dozen cavalry, shot General White Horse, and then returned to his team. Xiongnu soldiers always thought it was suspicious and dared not attack. In the middle of the night, the Huns thought that the Han army had set an ambush nearby and wanted to sneak attack at night, so they led the troops away. The next morning, Li Guang returned to the army. In 140 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and all the ministers thought that Li Guang was a brave general, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Li as the guardian of Weiyang Palace. At this time, Cheng Wu was also appointed as the escort of Changle Palace, both of whom were. However, there is a completely different way to lead troops. Li Guang was simple in running the army, and there was no strict establishment, queue and formation in marching. He often looks for grass near the water source to stand guard. Soldiers help themselves and do not patrol at night to defend themselves. The army's documents and books are simple, but they are also far away from arranging reconnaissance personnel, so he has never encountered any danger. Cheng Wu is famous for his strict management of the army. He pays attention to the establishment, queue and formation of troops. In the evening, he patrolled Diao Dou, and the officers handled military documents. The army has no rest and is never in danger. But the men suffered from Cheng's ignorance, and they all liked to fight with Li Guang. Cheng was appointed as a Chinese medicine practitioner several times when he didn't know Jingdi. He is clean, honest and devoted to grammar. In the third year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (133 BC), Han used Mayi City (now Shuoxian County, Shanxi Province) to lure Xiongnu into the fortress. He sent an army to ambush in the nearby valley. The Guards, controlled by General Han Anguo, Khan discovered this situation and led his troops away. Four years later, Li Guang led the army out of Yanmenguan and was surrounded by the multiplied Xiongnu army. Li Guang was injured and captured because he was outnumbered. The Xiongnu Khan admired Li Guang's reputation and ordered his men: "Li Guang will be born" (Biography of General Li in Historical Records). Tarquin put Li Guang, who was injured and ill at that time, between two horses and told him to lie down. Squinting his eyes, he saw a Xiongnu soldier riding a good horse next to him. Li Guang suddenly jumped on the steed of the Xiongnu boy, pushed the boy off his horse, took off his bow and arrow, and rode a whip south. Hundreds of people in tarquin followed. Li Guang ran and shot at the pursuer, finally escaped, put away the rest and returned to Beijing. The Han court handed Li Guang over to the judge, and the judge sentenced Li Guang troops to many casualties. They were captured alive by the Huns, beheaded and then spent money. Become a civilian. During their stay at home, Li Guang and Yingying's grandson often went hunting in Nanshan, Lantian. Once, he rode out with a follower at night and drank with others in the country. Pass by Baling Pavilion on the way back. When you are drunk, reprimand Li Guang for not letting him pass. The rider in Li Guang said, "This is the former general Li." Pavilion Wei said, "Even the current general can't get through at night, let alone the former general. So they detained Li Guang and others and stayed under Baling Pavilion. Soon after, the Huns attacked western Liaoning and defeated Han Anguo's army. So the emperor called Li Guang the prefect of Right Beiping. Li Guang immediately asked the emperor to send the commander of Baling Pavilion to go with him. In the army, Li Guang killed the commander-in-chief, and then wrote to the emperor to apologize. The emperor replied, "The general is a pawn of the country." Sima Fa said. In the event of a funeral, if you don't wear the prescribed mourning clothes according to the relationship between relatives and friends, you must mobilize the army to conquer the disobedient people. When going out to war, we should command the hearts of the three armies and coordinate the forces of the military strategists. Only in this way will you be frightened by anger and fear, and everything will be subdued by intimidation, so that your reputation will be exposed to foreigners and a big country will make its neighbors afraid. This is my expectation for the general. If you kowtow and confess, is this what I expected? The emperor didn't seem to blame Li Guang for this, but appreciated his actions. This incident reflects Li Guang's narrow mind from one side. After Li Guang was appointed as the right magistrate of Beiping, the Huns were afraid and called Li Guang "the flying general of the Han Dynasty", so they avoided him. Li Guang went hunting for several years, saw a stone in the grass, thought it was a tiger, and shot it with an arrow. Look carefully. He can't shoot into the stone. When Li Guang heard of a tiger, he often killed it himself. When he was in Beiping, he shot a tiger once, and the evil tiger hurt Li Guang. Li Guang was injured and finally killed the tiger. In order to be honest, Li Guang often gave his reward to his subordinates and ate and drank with the soldiers. He has been an official for more than 40 years, with a salary of 2000 stone, and there is not much extra property at home. He never said anything about buying a house. His arms are as long as apes and he is good at shooting. His descendants, like others, Li Guang learned archery, but they were not as good at words as Li Guang. When he lived in seclusion with others, he also took archery as his pleasure, and archery was his pastime all his life. Li Guang loves soldiers like children, and he can take the lead in everything. When marching, he was short of water and food. The soldiers didn't drink all the water, and he didn't go near the water. A soldier doesn't eat all the food, and he doesn't taste it. Be lenient and not harsh on soldiers, so that soldiers are willing to spare no effort for him. When Li Guang shot at the enemy, he asked himself to shoot an arrow foolproof, so he missed it within dozens of steps, and often the arrow deviated from the string and the enemy was killed. As a result, he was chased by the enemy many times, and he was injured several times when shooting wild animals because he was too close, but Li Guang was never afraid. Soon, the doctor ordered Shi Jian to die. Li Guang was appointed as a doctor. In the sixth year of Yuanshuo (BC 123), Li Guang was the post-general, and he was sent from the general Wei Qingjun to attack the Huns. Most generals were blocked for their achievements, but Li Guangjun failed. In BC 12 1 year, Li Guang, as a doctor, led 4,000 cavalry to set out from right Beiping, with Zhang Qian, the prince of Bo. Suddenly surrounded by 40,000 cavalry led by Xiongnu Zuo, the soldiers in Li Guang were very afraid, so Li Guang sent his son into the enemy line to explore the enemy situation first. Li Gan led dozens of cavalry, rushed into the enemy lines, broke into the encirclement of the Huns, copied out the enemy's wings and made a comeback. Come back and report to Li Guang: "Xiongnu soldiers are easy to deal with." Sergeant Li Guangzhong didn't settle down until he heard this. Li Guang lined up in a circle to face the enemies around him. Xiongnu. More than half of China's soldiers were killed and wounded, and the arrow was about to go out. Li Guang ordered the soldiers to draw their bows and not to fire. He shot many Xiongnu generals with a strong crossbow "rhubarb", and the Xiongnu soldiers were greatly frightened and gradually dispersed. At this time, it was getting late, and the officers and men of the Han Dynasty were all pale with fear, but Li Guang was in high spirits and strengthened his efforts to rectify the army. From then on, the officers and men of the army admired Li Guang's courage. The next day, the enemy soldiers were engaged again, and the siege of Xiongnu was solved. Li Guang's army was almost wiped out, and Li Guang's merits and demerits were offset, but he didn't get a reward. Bo Xilai hoped that his money would be beheaded, and then he would use it to atone and become a civilian. Li Guang fought against Xiongnu for more than 40 years, but he never got the title of Hou. In those days, he was Cai Li, the cousin of a card shark with him, and his personality was inferior to that of the media. His reputation was far below that of Li Guang, but he was repeatedly sealed. Yuan Shuo was a general for five years, and was later named as a joy. Palace is the prime minister. Many of Li Guang's men were also made princes, but Li Guang didn't get a title and his official position didn't exceed Jiuqing. On one occasion, Li Guang talked with Wang Shuo, who was looking forward to fortune telling, and said, "It is better to attack the Huns than the Chinese. However, dozens of people won the marquis by attacking Hu, but they could not win the title for future generations. Why not? Do I think evil is wrong? Change your life? " (Historical Records Biography of General Li) Wang Shuo said: "Did the general ever think about what he regretted? Li Guang thought, "When I was the prefect of Longxi, the Qiang people rebelled. I lured them and killed them. So far, the biggest regret is only this. Wang Shuo said: "There is no greater crime than killing a fallen person. So it can't be sealed. " In the fourth year of Yuanshou (former 1 19), the generals Wei Qing and Qi. Emperor Wu thought he was too old to use. It was not until the sixth year of Yuanshou that he was appointed as a former general and went to war with Wei Qing. When Wei Qing learned that Khan was stationed, he decided to attack Khan with his elite troops, and ordered Li Guang and right general Zhao to attack from East Road. The east road is far away and the vegetation is scarce, which is not conducive to marching. Li Guang personally asked to be a pioneer, saying, "I was a former general, but today I am a general who moved my minister out of the main general and married my minister." I want to be first, so I will die first. "("Historical Records Biography of General Lee ") But Wei Qing was secretly instructed by Emperor Wu, thinking that Li Guang was too old and unlucky to let him confront Khan head-on. At that time, Wei Qing's good friend, Gongsun Ao, lost the marquis and became a general in China. Wei Qing wanted to give him a chance to make contributions, so he drove Li Guang away and let Gongsun Ao fight Khan with himself. Li Guang knew the story at that time. Still resolutely refused to turn. Wei Qing refused to accept his request, ordered Chang Shi to write a document, and asked Li Guang to hurry to his unit and do as the document said. Li Guang left Wei Qing without saying goodbye, returned to camp in great anger, led the troops to meet General Right, and set out from East Road. The troops lost their way without guidance and fell behind the general, which delayed the agreed military deadline. Wei Qing's troops also got nothing because of Khan's escape. On the way back to the army, they joined the right-wing troops. Back to Li Hou, Wei Qing sent Li Guang a long history with dry food and wine, and asked about the loss of Li Guang. Li Guang refused to answer, and Wei Qing sent a long history to urge Li Guang's shogunate staff to wait for interrogation. Li Guang said: "The commander is innocent, but I lost my way. I went to read today. " (Biography of General Li in Historical Records) Li Guang returned to the army and told him: Besides, after more than 60 years, I can no longer be an official of swords and pens. "("Historical Records Biography of General Lee ") let me draw my sword and commit suicide. Li Guangjun's military scholar cried. When people heard about it, whether they knew him or not, whether they were old or young, they all shed tears. A generation of great stars will fall. Li Guang had three sons, and the eldest son, Li Danghu, died young. Li Gan followed Huo Qubing, a general in title of generals in ancient times. The year after Li Guang's death, Cai Li committed suicide because of her crime. Li Gan, as the captain, attacked Zuo with Huo Qubing, playing vigorously, taking the flag of Zuo and beheading a lot. Make him the Commissioner of Shanhaiguan, eat two hundred households, and be a doctor for Li Guang. Soon, he hated his father Li Guang and wounded general Wei Qing, but Wei Qing didn't tell anyone. Later, he proclaimed himself emperor and went to Yong.
