He is good at riding and shooting, has a kind heart for people, is humble to corporal, and has a good reputation.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought he had the demeanor of Li Guang and ordered him to lead 800 cavalry.
He went deep into the Huns for more than two thousand miles, crossed Juyan to scout the terrain, and returned smoothly without encountering the enemy.
Later, he was promoted to riding a captain, led 5,000 elite soldiers, stationed in Jiuquan, Zhangye and other places, taught archery and defended the Huns.
A few years later, Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division of Han Dynasty, ordered Li Ling to go with his 5,000 soldiers and horses.
In the frontier fortress, Liang Wudi ordered Li Ling to leave his men behind, and only led 500 people out of Dunhuang to meet Li in Yanshui, and then stayed in Zhangye.
In the second year of Tianhan (99 BC), Li Guangli set out from Jiuquan with 30,000 cavalry and attacked Right Wang Xian, which was active in Tianshan Mountain. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Li Ling and asked him to transport food and grass for the army.
When Li Ling came to Wutai Hall, he kowtowed to Emperor Wu and asked, "All the soldiers in Tunbian led by me are warriors from Jingchu and swordsmen with rare materials. They can bind tigers with strength and shoot at them. I hope to become an independent army and go to the south of Ganlan Mountain to be independent of the army. Please don't let us just be the transport team of the General of the Second Division. " Emperor Wu said, "You are a subordinate, what a shame!" ! I sent so many troops, and I didn't give you any horses. Li Ling replied, "There is no need to give it to the horse. I am willing to attack more with less, and attack Wang Ting with only 5,000 infantry. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that he had great courage, so he agreed and ordered a captain, Lu Bode, to meet Li Ling's army halfway.
Lubbock used to be a general in Fu Bo, and he was ashamed to be Li Ling's backup. He played: "It's autumn, when the Huns are fat, and we can't go to war with them. I hope that when Li Ling arrives in the spring, he and his 5,000 cavalry will attack the east and west Xunji mountains respectively, and they will surely win. " When Emperor Wu saw that Li Ling regretted not sending troops, he was furious and asked Lu Bode to write a letter. "I want to give Li Ling horses, but he said,' I want to attack the public with fewer soldiers'. Now that the Huns have invaded the Xihe River, you should take your troops to the Xihe River and guard the camp. " He also sent a letter to Li Ling: "Our army should send troops in September, leave the fortress from the dangerous fortress, and wander around the Longleshui area south of Jishan Mountain in Jin Dong to observe the enemy's situation. If there is nothing to see, take a rest in the surrendered city along the route taken by Juye Hou Zhao Ponu, and then report to North Korea on a swift horse.
What did you say to Lubbock? Write a book together and make it clear. "So, Li Ling led his 5,000 infantry from Juyan, marched north for 30 days, and camped in Xunji Mountain.
Draw a map of the passing mountains and rivers, and send his cavalry Chen Buller back to report to the DPRK.
Chen Buller was summoned, and Chen said that Li Ling was well armed and got the hard work of the soldiers. Liang Wudi was very happy and appointed Chen Buller as Langguan.
Li Ling joined forces with Khan in Xunji Mountain and was surrounded by more than 30,000 tarkan.
Li Lingjun is stationed between two mountains, and the carriage is used as a camp. Li Lingjun led the troops out of the camp and set out. The front row holds halberds and shields, and the back row uses bows and crossbows. He ordered: "attack when you hear the drums, and retreat when you hear the golden bell." When the Huns saw Han Serenade, they went straight to the Han army camp.
When Li Ling sent his troops to battle, thousands of troops arrived, and the enemy soldiers retreated.
The Xiongnu army retreated up the mountain, and the Han army pursued and killed thousands of enemies.
Khan was frightened and called more than 80 thousand cavalry on the left and right to besiege Li Ling.
Li Ling fought a battle, went south, and was trapped in a valley a few days later.
After several days of hard work, many infantry were wounded by arrows. The car used by three injured people, the car driven by two injured people, and a founder insisted on playing.
Li Ling said: "The morale of our army is not as good as before, so we can't get up. What is the reason? Are there any women in the army? " It turned out that when the army set out, some wives and daughters of Kanto thieves exiled to the frontier fortress became soldiers' wives with the army, most of whom were hidden in cars.
Li Ling found them out and killed them with a sword.
Fighting again the next day, and sure enough, more than 3000 people were killed.
They broke through to the southeast and retreated along the old Longcheng Road. They walked for four or five days and were blocked by a large swamp reed.
The Xiongnu army set fire to the limelight, and Li Ling also let the soldiers set fire to a clearing to save themselves.
He retreated to a mountain, where Khan was already on the south mountain, and ordered his son to lead the cavalry to attack Li Ling.
Li Ling's infantry fought with enemy cavalry in the Woods, killing thousands more people and even shooting Khan who retreated down the mountain.
On this day, Li Ling captured the prisoner and frankly said, "This is a good soldier of the Han Dynasty. Unable to attack for a long time, he retreated south day and night and led our army to the frontier. Will there be an ambush? " But many princes said, "Khan led tens of thousands of cavalry and attacked thousands of Han people, which could not be destroyed." After that, it was impossible to send troops, which made the Han Dynasty look down on the Huns even more. "
We must storm again in the valley, and there are still forty or fifty miles to reach the flat land. Even if we can't break the enemy, we can return in time. "At this time, the situation in Li Lingjun was even more sinister. It took dozens of rounds and played for a whole day, and the enemy killed and injured more than 2,000 people.
Xiongnu army can't win, ready to retreat.
It happened that the soldiers in Liling army were shut down, and because they were insulted by a captain, they fled and surrendered to the Huns.
He said to Shan Yu, "Li Ling's army has no backup, and the arrows are used up. Only General Li Ling's men and Hou Cheng 'an's men, each with 800 men, can break the battle array by using yellow and white flags and sending elite soldiers to shoot flag bearers. " He said that Hou Chengan is from Yingchuan. His father, Han Qianqiu, a former prime minister of Jinan, was killed when he attacked South Vietnam. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made his son Han Yannian a Hou and became a captain in Liling Army.
Khan was overjoyed and ordered the cavalry to attack the Han army together, shouting, "Li Ling, Han Yannian, come down quickly!" " Then block the way and violently attack Li Ling.
Liling is at the bottom of the valley, and the enemy is shooting arrows on all sides of the hillside, like rain.
The Han army insisted on going south. Before arriving at Khan Mountain, 500,000 arrows were all shot in one day, so they abandoned the car and left.
At that time, there were more than 3000 soldiers left. With his bare hands, he cut off the spokes of the wheel as a weapon, and the military attache only had a short knife.
They were blocked by a big mountain and fell into a narrow valley. Khan cut off their retreat and laid down the cornerstone in a dangerous place. Many infantry were killed and could not move forward.
After dusk, Li Ling put on plain clothes, walked out of the camp alone, and said, "Don't follow me, let me kill Khan alone!" " "After a while, Li Ling came back and said with a sigh," That's the defeat, but I just want to die! "The military official said," The emperor won't let you die because the general threatened the Huns. We can find other ways to go back later. For example, the emperor still treats you with courtesy, let alone the general! "Li Ling said," Stop it, I won't die in battle, I won't die for a strong man. " So he asked his men to cut down all the flags and bury the treasure in the ground.
"There are dozens more arrows, and we can escape, but now we have no weapons to fight again, so we can only wait until dawn."
It is better to separate birds from animals, and there may be people who flee back to report to the emperor. "He asked the soldiers to bring two liters of dry food and a large piece of ice each, and agreed to meet at the frontier fortress.
I was going to beat the drum at midnight, but it didn't ring.
Li Ling and Han Yannian got on the horse together, and a dozen strong men rushed out with them.
Thousands of tarkan followed, and Han Yannian died. Li Ling sighed, "I have no face to see your majesty!" So he dismounted and surrendered.
His men fled for their lives, and only 400 fled back to Senegal.
Li Ling's defeat was only a hundred miles away from the frontier fortress, and the frontier fortress reported the situation to the court. Emperor Wu must have called his mother and wife in the battle, and called people who looked at each other to see it, but he said there was no face of death and loss.
Later, when he learned that Li Ling had surrendered to the Huns, Emperor Wu was furious and questioned Chen Bule, who committed suicide.
All civil and military officials scolded Li Ling, and Emperor Wudi asked Sima Qian about Li Ling. Sima Qian said: "Li Ling is filial to his mother, telling his soldiers to be loyal, and always goes all out for the country's crisis.
He has long cultivated the demeanor of a master of Chinese studies.
He was defeated once today, and the lieutenants who tried to save their lives scored one point and ignored the rest. It's really hard! Besides, with less than 5,000 troops, Li Ling went deep into the hinterland of Xiongnu and fought against tens of thousands of divisions. The enemy suffered numerous casualties and was unable to save himself. He also called together archers to besiege.
Fight a thousand miles, and the arrow will be exhausted. Soldiers fought to the death with their bare hands, bravely fought against the enemy's arrows, and asked their subordinates to serve them with their lives, even ancient famous soldiers.
Although he was besieged and defeated, his record of killing and injuring the enemy was enough to spread all over the world.
He didn't die because he wanted to make meritorious service and atone for his sins in order to serve the court. "At the beginning, Liang Wudi sent an army of generals from the Second Division, only letting Li Ling assist in transportation. Later, Li Ling played Khan in the main force, and the generals from the second division did not have much meritorious service.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that Sima Qian falsely accused Wang of trying to discredit the Second Normal University's intercession for Li Ling, so he was imprisoned for corruption.
It was a long time before Emperor Wu regretted not rescuing Li Ling, saying, "When Li Ling left the village, the imperial edict was originally sent to a strong crossbow captain to meet the enemy. It was only under the influence of this treacherous veteran's writing style that the imperial edict was changed, and Li Ling was completely annihilated." So he sent messengers to express condolences to the remnants of Li Ling.
A year after Li Ling entered Xiongnu, Liang Wudi sent the general in charge of fish, Gongsun Ao, to take Li Ling deep into Xiongnu territory.
Gongsun ao returned in vain and said to Emperor Wu, "According to the prisoner, Li Ling is helping Khan train against the Han army, so we can't receive him." Hearing this, Emperor Wu sentenced Li Ling's family to clan punishment, and his mother, brother and wife were all killed.
Scholars in Longxi area are ashamed that Li Ling can't die and involves his family.
Later, an emissary of the Han Dynasty visited the Xiongnu. Li Ling said to the emissary, "I led 5,000 soldiers to sweep the Xiongnu for the Han Dynasty, but I was defeated because there was no rescue. What am I sorry for the Han Dynasty and want to kill my family? " The messenger said, "The emperor heard that Li was training for the Huns." Li Ling said; "That's Xu Li, not me." Xu Li was originally a captain outside the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, stationed in Xihoucheng. When the Huns attacked, they surrendered.
Khan was very friendly to him and came second in the competition of Li Ling.
Li Ling hated him for being punished for training Huns, so he sent someone to assassinate Xu Li.
E Shi wanted to kill Li Ling, so Khan hid him in the north and didn't come back until E Shi died.
Khan attached great importance to Li Ling, married his daughter to him, made him king of Right School, and made Wei Law king of Dingling. They all became nobles in power.
Wei Lv's father is a Chinese, but he was born and raised in the Han Dynasty.
He had a good relationship with Li Yannian, a captain of Jielv, and Li Yannian recommended him to be a special envoy to Xiongnu.
When I came back, Li Yannian's family was hacked.
Wei Lv fled and surrendered for fear of being implicated in the Huns.
He is loved by Khan and has always been around.
On the other hand, Li Ling lives outside, and only when something important happens will he be called to think about it.
Emperor acceded to the throne, assisted by General Huo Guang and Zuo Shangguan Jie. They have always had a good relationship with Li Ling, so they sent Li Ling's old friend, Longxi, to the Xiongnu to recruit Li Ling back to Han.
After the Huns, Khan bought wine to entertain, and Li Ling and both were present.
Although they saw Li Ling, but they couldn't talk privately, they motioned to Li Ling with their eyes, took the ring off their sabre several times, and held down Li Ling's foot while picking up the ring, suggesting that he could go back to the Han Dynasty.
After that, Li Ling and Wei Lubei paid tribute to Ambassador China with wine. They all played and drank together. They all wear Xiongnu costumes and have Xiongnu hairstyles.
Ren said loudly: "The Han Dynasty has declared an Amnesty, and the whole country is jubilant. The emperor is young, and Huo and Shangguan Shaoshu are in charge. " Trying to impress Li Ling with these words, Li Ling was silent and casually touched her hair and said, "I became a Hun!" " "After a while, Wei Lv got up and changed clothes. Ren said, "Shao Qing, you have suffered. Huo and Shangguan Shaoshu say hello to you. Li Ling said, "Lord Huo and Lord Shangguan are so kind!" Li Zheng said, "They asked Shao Qing to go back to her hometown. Don't worry about wealth. " Li Ling whispered to Ren, "Shaogong, it's easy for me to go back, but I'm afraid I'll be humiliated again. I have no choice! Before he finished speaking, Wei Lv came back, as if listening to his last words: "Li Zhixian doesn't have to live in one country. In the past, he traveled all over the world, from Xirong to Qin, but today he still talks about his old country and so on. "Say goodbye.
Ren Lizheng then said to Li Ling, "Is that what you mean?" Li Ling said, "A gentleman can no longer be willfully humiliated." Li Ling lived in Xiongnu for more than twenty years and died in the first year of Yuanping (74 BC).
