Li Guang (?-119 BC), Han nationality, a native of Chengji, Longxi (now Qin'an County, Tianshui, Gansu), was a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty of China. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info 14th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (166 years ago) from the army to attack the Huns, because of the merit for Zhonglang. During the reign of Emperor Jing, he successively served as the Taishou of the seven counties in the northern borderlands. Emperor Wu ascended the throne and was summoned as the guard of Weiyang Palace. In the sixth year of Yuanguang (129 years ago), he served as a general of Xiaocai, led more than 10,000 horsemen out of Yanmen (now Youyunan, Shanxi) to attack the Xiongnu, and was wounded and captured due to the disparity in numbers. The Huns put him lying between the two horses, Li Guang feigned death, jumped up on the way, and galloped back. Later, he served as the Taishou of Youbeiping County (Zhipinggang County, now southwest of Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia). The Huns were afraid of submission, called it General Fei, and did not dare to attack for several years. In the fourth year of Yuanzhan (119 BC), in the Battle of Mobei, Li Guang served as a former general, but because he lost his way, he failed to participate in the war, and committed suicide in anger.

Tang Dezong enshrined Li Guang and other 64 famous generals with outstanding martial arts in history in the Wucheng Wang Temple, known as the 64 generals of the Wucheng Wang Temple. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty posthumously honored Li Guangwei Huairoubo, and was one of the seventy-two generals of the Song Wumiao.

In my opinion, Li Guang is a very legendary generation of famous players. When I was studying, there was a classic story of Li Guang shooting the tiger in the Chinese textbook. After getting drunk, he once shot an arrow into the stone, and fought bravely on the battlefield. Li Guang was upright and upright, and often took the lead in battle. Wang Changling, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote that he highly praised him: but make the dragon city fly in the general, and do not teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain. Sincerely, the gold and stone are open, and so on. Li Guangyi died for the country, and the Huns were terrified when they heard the name of General Fei. The benevolence to the soldiers is far better than Huo Qubing and Li Guangli, but he is extremely conceited towards the higher-level bureaucrats, and it should be said that this is the ideal character with a true temperament in Sima Qian's heart. However, according to the "Historical Records", Li Guang is conceited in terms of personality. Because of his good archery skills and required himself to shoot within ten steps, he was often besieged because he was too close to the enemy, and when defending the city, he personally led three hundred soldiers to leave the defenders to pursue the three eagle archers of the Huns. As a general of an army, he disregarded the overall situation and stubbornly fulfilled his duties in pursuit of his own heroism and personal heroism. In terms of administering the army, Li Guang advocated that everyone should be convenient, and the shogunate documents should be as simple as possible. Although this is convenient for individual soldiers, it is really disorganized and undisciplined, and the entire army is scattered. According to the "Historical Records", Li Guang's last expedition was before the Mobei War, as a general, accompanied Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu. Li Guang was indignant because Wei Qing asked him to attack with the right general Zhao Shiqi from the east road, and returned to the army angrily without saying goodbye to the general. In such a state, going out of the east road with the right general, the right general Zhao Shiqi must be embarrassed to get along with him. Coupled with the harsh natural environment, the army eventually got lost and lost the last chance to be feuded. It can be seen from this incident that Li Guang was unwilling to obey the command of the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces because of his great reputation and old qualifications. He also failed to understand the importance of collaboration between all sides, and only hoped for a head-to-head confrontation with a single one, ignoring the significance of strategy and lacking a sense of the overall situation. Li Guang went out of Yanmen to attack the Huns, and the Huns had many soldiers, and Li Guang was captured. This point shows that Li Guang is a brave man, except for one-on-one, equal and equal, and more fights and fewer fights, as long as the enemy has more soldiers, Li Guang will be helpless, and he will either be defeated or captured.

Li Guang designed to escape, Li Guang was defeated, and he was beheaded and ransomed. Li Guang returned to the Baling Pavilion too late, and the city gate was closed. Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Captain Baling reprimanded Guang: "Today's general is not allowed to travel at night, not to mention that you are a former general!" Li Guang was angry and helpless. Although Baling Pavilion Lieutenant drank too much, he was also impartial. When Li Guang was once again used by the emperor as the right Beiping too punctual, Li Guang thought to himself: "Last time, I was rejected from the city by that Baling Pavilion Captain, and I actually despised my General Fei, this time I have to kill him and hurry up." So Li Guang summoned the Baling Pavilion Lieutenant to his army and beheaded him. This shows that Li Guang is too narrow-minded and cannot tolerate people who have opinions about him in his heart. As the saying goes: "The prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, and the general can run a horse on his forehead." Li Guang's heart couldn't accommodate a small Baling Pavilion Captain, which shows that Li Guang's strength is small and not enough to achieve great things. If Li Guang didn't kill the Baling Pavilion Captain, the Baling Pavilion Lieutenant would inevitably feel guilty and blame himself, grateful to Li Guang for his grace of not killing, and he would definitely fight hard to repay Li Guang when he killed the enemy, but Li Guang killed him in a momentary anger. How could a person who did not have a grand bearing command thousands of troops? In the end, Li Guang's military talent and conceited personal character made him and ruined him in the end.
