Li Guang, a famous soldier in the Western Han Dynasty, was brave and good at fighting all his life. Following the satrap Zhou Yafu to pacify the rebellion in Wu Chu, he served as the chief of the frontier and fought against the Huns many times. Later, he attacked the Huns with General Wei Qing, and repeatedly made meritorious military service. Apes in Li Guang are good at shooting and brilliant, but they love soldiers like children. Most soldiers like to fight hard with Li Guang. However, it is such a famous soldier that his career is very bumpy and his fate is saturated with a strong tragic color. As a battle-hardened general, Li Guang is full of wisdom, courage and rich combat experience. On one occasion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a eunuch to study military affairs with Li Guang, who was shot and wounded by three fierce slaves. Li Guang said to him, "This must be the man who shot the sculpture in the Xiongnu." Sui led more than 100 cavalry to pursue the Three Xiongnu. He personally shot and killed two people and captured one person. After the trial, they were indeed the people who shot the sculpture in the Xiongnu. Just then, thousands of people from tarquin suddenly came from afar. They found Li Guang, so they ran up the hill to occupy the position. At this critical moment, Li Guang did not flee hastily because he was outnumbered, but launched an intellectual and psychological contest with the enemy. He told the soldiers not to panic, and ordered the troops to enter the front two lines of the Huns, dismount and unload their saddles. When the Huns saw it, they thought it was bait and dared not attack. Li Guang was advancing a dozen cavalry to shoot a Xiongnu general, and then came back to take off his saddle and ordered the soldiers to release their horses and lie down. Huns are more suspicious and never dare to attack. In the middle of the night, the Huns were afraid of being ambushed by the Han Dynasty and retreated quietly. The next morning, Li Guang returned to the camp safely. Li Guang was able to escape from danger and get away with it, thanks to his good psychological quality and extraordinary ingenuity. Li Guang is also a well-run general. He has no queue or formation when marching, and likes to be stationed in a place with lush water and grass. At night, the army does not work in shifts, and the shogunate simplifies all kinds of documents and books. However, the loose surface does not affect the tight defense of the army. He is far away from the camp, not just a sentry, so his camp has never been suddenly attacked. Li Guang is very honest and gives rewards to his subordinates as soon as he gets them. So he has been an official for more than 40 years, with a salary of 2000 stone, but there is not much property at home. Li Guang led the troops and ate and drank with the soldiers. When encountering food shortage and water shortage, if the water source is found and the soldiers have not all drunk, Li Guang will never be close to the water; The soldiers didn't eat them all, and Li Guang would never eat them first. He is generous and kind to the soldiers, not harsh, so the soldiers are happy to help him. Besides, Li Guang is a talented shooter. And his personality is also very distinctive. Li Guang is tall and his arms are like apes. Naturally, he is ready to fly. Even if others learn from him, they will not reach his level. Once, when Li Guang went out hunting, he saw a tiger in the grass and shot an arrow at it. A closer look reveals that the "tiger" is actually a stone, and the arrow shot by Li Guang has not yet entered the stone. But Li Guang also shot a real tiger. Archery is Li Guang's unique skill and the only pastime in his life. He has a lisp and seldom speaks. He got together with others, pointed to draw a line on the ground, then shot an arrow, and decided who would be punished for drinking according to the number of arrows shot. Li Guang's brilliant exploits and reputation as a "flying general" made him a legendary hero, but the ups and downs of his personal fate decided his tragic ending. Throughout the ages, many people lamented that Li Guang was hard to seal. Li Guang's relatives and his officers and men were all made marquis, but Li Guang was never knighted or made a higher official than Jiuqing. First of all, Li Guang's blockade was related to the enfeoffment system in Han Dynasty. The title of a general depends on the number of beheadings and the number of trophies seized. Li Guang has a cousin named Cai Li, who served Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu together with Li Guang. Cai Li's character and reputation are far inferior to those of Li Guang, but his official career is much smoother than that of Li Guang. When Emperor Wu was emperor, he was a general without pomp, and together with general Wei Qing, he crusaded against Xiongnu right Wang Xian. According to the number of beheadings by the enemy, he won the military service and was named a happy Hou. Later, he became prime minister. Secondly, the hard seal of Li Guang is also related to the superstition of ancient people. A fortune teller said that Li Guang had a strange number (good luck), and even the vicious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the supreme ruler, believed in it, so he never dared to entrust him with an important task. Thirdly, Li Guang's difficulty in being sealed also has its own reasons, which are related to his improper decisions in the war. Li Guang, skilled in archery, often took the initiative to attack and put his own side in danger, causing a lot of casualties. However, he may not be able to catch up with other generals in killing the enemy. Li Guang archery, the enemy is not close within dozens of steps, and it is estimated that he will not shoot if he misses; As soon as the shot was fired, the enemy immediately fell, so it can be said that the arrow was not empty. Despite his courage, his army was besieged and injured many times. Li Guang sometimes attacks without knowing each other's military situation, so it has also been defeated and captured alive. Li Guang once set out from Yanmen to attack a large number of Huns, defeated Li Guang's army and captured Li Guang alive. Li Guang was injured at that time, so the Huns put him in the net pocket between two horses. After walking more than ten miles, Li Guang kept playing dead. He narrowed his eyes and saw a Xiongnu boy riding a good horse beside him, so he seized the opportunity, jumped up suddenly, grabbed his bow, pushed him under the horse and ran away to the rider. Li Guang later met his remnants, and fled into Guansai with them. Some of them also shot and killed several pursuers during their escape. Li Guang's breathtaking escape won him the reputation of "General Han Fei", but after all, he was defeated, captured and beheaded according to Chinese law. Only by paying the price of atonement can he survive and be cut into the people. Li Guang's weakness in character is also an important reason for his bumpy fate. Li Guang is an indomitable person who values reputation, has strong self-esteem. Of course, there are also many people with lofty ideals who advocate moral integrity throughout the ages. They all have the belief that "a scholar can be killed but not humiliated". However, if you take your reputation and dignity too seriously, you will lack tolerance for others and deal with problems in an extreme way. It was the night after Li Guang was dismissed. He took his entourage to other places to drink with others. When I came back, I passed the Baling Pavilion. Commander Baling was drunk. He scolded Li Guang and wouldn't let him pass. The attendant explained, "This is the former general Li." Ting Wei said, "The current general can't live at night, let alone his predecessor!" So let Li Guang stay under Baling Pavilion. Soon, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used Li Guang as the right satrap of Beiping. Li Guang asked the emperor to send Ba Lingwei to his post with him, and killed him as soon as he arrived in the army. Commander Baling is a villain, but he is unforgivable for death. Li Guang used his power to seek revenge for his personal interests. Even then, it was too much. Li Guang's tragic character doomed his tragic ending. On the one hand, his death stems from his distrust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, on the other hand, it is also related to his extreme personality. In the fourth year of Yuanshou, Li Guang followed the general Wei Qing to attack the Huns. Wei Qing learned the position of Khan from the prisoners, so he personally led a good soldier to pursue Khan, making Li Guang and right general Zhao eat his soldiers and attack from the east road. The east road is circuitous, and the water grass is scarce, so it is impossible to station troops. So Li Guang asked Wei Qing to transfer him as a striker and fight Khan to the death first. Wei Qing privately accepted the admonition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, thinking that Li Guang was too old and had a bad fate, so he couldn't let him fight against Khan, so he transferred Li Guang and let China general Gong Sun Ao fight against Khan. Li Guang once again asked the general not to transfer him, but was rejected. Instead of saying goodbye to the general, he angrily went to the army and went to the East Road with Zhao. Without a guide, the army got lost from time to time and fell behind Wei Qing's army. Wei Qing crossed the desert south after defeating Khan, just in time to meet Li Guang and Zhao. Li Guang returned to the army after an audience with Wei Qing. Wei Qing may consider that Li Guang is too old and has too much self-esteem, so there is no simple treatment. He sent officials to see Li Guang with dry food and wine, and asked Li Guang and Zhao about their losses, so as to report to the emperor. However, Li Guang didn't appreciate it. He didn't answer the long official's question. So Wei Qing had to send officials to quickly order the Li Guang shogunate to appear in court and confront them. Li Guang said, "The junior officers are innocent, but I lost my way. I am going to accept the trial now and face myself. " Arriving at the general's shogunate, Li Guang said to his men, "I, Li Guang, have fought against the Huns for more than 70 times in my life. Now I have the honor to go out with the general and fight Khan, but the general dispatched troops to make a detour. I'm lost. Isn't this an act of god? " Say that finish unexpectedly draw out a sword to commit suicide. Soldiers are crying; When people heard this, they all cried for those who knew or didn't know Li Guang. Li Guang's death was dignified and tragic. His death is shocking and even more regrettable. "Difficult to seal" is the knot that puzzles Li Guang to live. It is Li Guang's life pursuit that how many feudal scholars worship Hou Xiang. He also wants to exchange his achievements for knighthood and fief, just like others. However, his wish never came true in his life, because a fortune teller called him "eccentric" (bad fate). "Odd number" can't be a big responsibility, and it can't be sealed. "Odd number" can be said to be an insurmountable mountain in Li Guang's mind. Li Guang made a final struggle against the unfair fate with his own death, but he never tried to change his fate. Others said that Li Guang was "odd" and even Li Guang believed it, so he failed to prove that he was not "odd". Of course, in the feudal era more than 2,000 years ago, it was difficult to change our destiny by our own efforts. However, as long as you try hard, even if you fail, you are a hero with no regrets, otherwise you will always feel deep regret.
