Li Ling (? -74 years ago), the word Shao Qing, Han nationality, was born in Ji Cheng (now Qin 'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province). The famous Western Han Dynasty, the grandson of Li Guang.

At the beginning, he was a general of the Western Han Dynasty, good at riding and shooting, loving foot soldiers and having a good reputation. In the second year of Tianhan (the first 99 years), he was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to go to the Xiongnu, leading 5,000 infantry, and 80,000 Xiongnu fought in Xunji Mountain. Finally, because he was outnumbered, he was defeated and surrendered.

Li Ling became famous all his life, but he changed his life because of a failure. After his defeat, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty originally made excuses for him, thinking that Li Ling's poor rescue led to such a result, so he sent someone to look for Li Ling's beaten army and rewarded him. One year after Li Ling was in Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a general, Gongsun Ao, into Xiongnu, hoping to take Li Ling back.

But Gongsun Ao did nothing and went back. It was rumored that Li Ling was training for the Huns. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he had betrayed himself and trained for the Huns, so he put Li Ling's family to death, which completely severed relations with the Han Dynasty.

Li Ling was very angry after hearing the news. It was because of Xu Li (who surrendered to receive Xiongnu training) that his family was killed innocently. In Xiongnu, Xu Li was still above Li Ling, but Li Ling was not afraid and sent someone to kill him directly. Khan thinks highly of him. In order to protect him, let him hide in the north for a while and betrothed his daughter to him. Li Ling began to take root in the Huns and live his own life.
