Chapter 475: Li Ling of this dynasty
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Bingzhou, Yanmen County, during the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao fought against the northern Zhuhuzhi, and later was also the first line of the famous general Li Mu of Zhao against the Xiongnu.
Qin Shi is good and there is no good place, the former Han Dynasty is also good for Yanmen County, to the current dynasty when the county is moved to the Yin Pavilion, now, around the Yin Pavilion County, the army is dense, the counties are mobilized here The army is dense, only waiting for the imperial court to send the main general He Jin, an order, Zhao Bao after prior arrangement, the 20,000 Han army that has been prepared for a long time, and the conscription of the Southern Xiongnu, Hutu and other Hu servant army more than 10,000 people, out of Yanmen County, straight to Danhan Mountain.
At this moment, all the generals of Bingzhou have already known through the messenger sent by Fuquan that the Han army has broken the Xianbei royal court in Khan Mountain, and all the departments have been greatly encouraged, and many Han army officers and soldiers have taken the initiative to ask for battle, and they do not want to miss this good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, which can be described as high morale.
As for the reason why Fuquan only sent a letter to Bingzhou and did not send a letter to Liangzhou, it was because he wanted to save trouble, and Bingzhou was the closest to Danhan Mountain, and Zhao Bao, the assassin of Bingzhou, had an old relationship with him, so he naturally only gave him this letter, otherwise, if Zhang Huan knew about it, he didn't know if he would send Ma Teng's Hanhu army to the rescue.
It's just that no matter how high the morale of the Han army in Bingzhou is, they have been staying in Yanmen without moving, which makes many soldiers who hope that Fuquan will be found as soon as possible than the Liangzhou army and Youzhou army, so as to make meritorious contributions in advance, after all, compared with Youzhou, the land of Bingzhou obviously has great convenience.
After all, Zhao Bao, the assassin of the state, had already been instructed by the emperor Liu Hong, and predicted in advance that the Han army was going to attack Xianbei, so he had made sufficient preparations early, and even after learning that Fuquan was going to lead a partial division to attack the Xianbei royal court of Danhan Mountain, when he sent a letter to Luoyang under his command, he had already made the entire Bingzhou fully prepared and assembled in Yanmen, so it can be said that this military preparation was already half a step faster.
However, no matter how the Han army of Bingzhou prepared, they still had not yet set off with the whole army, as for the reason, it was because He Jin, the emperor's eldest brother who was sent by the imperial court to command the armies of Bingzhou, did not give the order to go out of the fortress for a long time. His people have been ordered by Emperor Liu Hong to conduct the Liao general's military, hold the festival, and unify the state armies to go out on an expedition.
Of course, He Jin commanded the state armies in order to make meritorious contributions, so as to win more political capital, so he deliberately let his old relatives Zhang Rang speak for himself in front of the emperor, so that he has the status of commanding the state army today.
However, when he learned that the little boy in Fuquan actually led the partial division to break through the Xianbei royal court in Danhan Mountain and kill Qian Man, the son of the Xianbei puppet master, He Jin was not calm, at this time, He Jin was in the temporary barracks of his Yin Pavilion, holding the secret letter in his hand for a long time.
"General, what does Yuan Benchu mean by this letter?" Next to He Jin, his confidant Chun Yuqiong looked at the letter in He Jin's hand, and asked suspiciously, that letter Chun Yuqiong knew that it was sent by Yuan Shao, who had been close to He Jin recently, as for the relationship between He Jin and Yuan Shao now, Chun Yuqiong did not know. For him, his benefactor seems to be interested in maneuvering left and right between the eunuch forces of his in-law Zhang Rang and the scholars represented by Yuan Shao, but as for where his heart is, it is not for him, a general, to know.
"I don't know, Zhong Jian can know what the military discussions of the armies outside the camp are?" He Jin withdrew the letter in his hand and put it in his sleeve, and said lightly, Zhong Jian is Chun Yu Qiong's cousin, and the army He Jin asked was naturally not other things, but the reason why the army talked about in the state army was not out of the fortress now.
"Returning to the general, all the departments said that the general was afraid of war, was at odds with Fuba County, and refused to send troops...... Chun Yuqiong said a few words, but he said more and more slowly, and soon stopped talking, after all, most of the words about his superiors were slanderous, and he naturally didn't dare to say too much.
He Jin nodded, didn't pay attention to it, but said with a smile: "This joke is ear, I am a Han general, and this is a matter of favoritism and forgetfulness." Zhong Jian, pass on my general's order, summon all the troops to gather in the commander's tent, grace...... Then Zhao Bingzhou will also be invited. ”
"No!"
Chun Yuqiong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he had no doubt about He Jin's convening of the generals, but he was very puzzled by He Jin's key invitation to Zhao Bao, after all, Zhao Bao recently, when He Jin was cowering, he had been scolding his people for being despicable, and almost all the conspiracy theories in the army about the traps between relatives were detonated by him, and now it is obviously unreasonable to invite Zhao Bao to come.
Of course, with this incident, what made Chun Yuqiong puzzled was that he saw Yuan Shao's secret letter in He Jin's hand just now, the letter was very strange, because there were only two simple words on it, and those two words were "Li Ling", for Chun Yuqiong, who was not secretly plotting, he really couldn't figure out what Yuan Shao meant by writing the "famous general" who defected to the Huns, and why did his benefactor see these two words, he immediately changed his appearance, let himself convene the generals to discuss the matter, and invited Zhao Bao, who had been spreading rumors, to come, Although he knew that there was a connection between the two, it was clear that he couldn't guess.
Looking at the back of Chun Yuqiong who was leaving, He Jin's face showed a meaningful smile, he naturally guessed what the confusion on Chun Yuqiong's face was, Chun Yuqiong didn't know, but he He Jin knew what Yuan Shao meant, didn't this remind him how to deal with Fu Quan, who he had always regarded as a big trouble, and the Fu family and Song relatives behind him?
If you know why Li Ling, a famous and courageous general of the former Han Dynasty, was defeated and captured, could not be killed, and finally defected and surrendered, then you can understand the meaning of the plan that Yuan Shao proposed to himself.
Since Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han Dynasty, there have been countless loyal ministers and many traitors. The former is admired by the ages, and Jia Yi and the latter are spurned by eternity. However, there is one person who can be deeply sympathetic despite the renegade in the era of the two Han Dynasty emperors, and this person is Li Ling.
Li Lingzi Shaoqing, a native of Chengji, Longxi, was a famous general during the former Han Dynasty Shizong Xiaowu Emperor, the grandson of Li Guang, who was called "General Fei", and the widow of his eldest son Li Danghu. Because of "good riding and shooting", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty considered that there was a great legacy of Li Guang, and he was specially ordered to take 800 cavalry into the desert to reconnoiter the terrain, and after returning from victory, he was appointed as a cavalry captain, commanding 5,000 warriors, and deploying defenses in Jiuquan and Zhangye.
In the autumn of October of the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, to lead 30,000 iron cavalry from Jiuquan to conquer the Xiongnu. At this time, Li Lingzheng served as a cavalry captain, leading 5,000 good archers recruited from Danyang and Chu to teach archery in Jiuquan and Zhangye to guard against the Xiongnu.
After the battle began, Li Ling took the initiative to ask to lead 5,000 foot soldiers, out of Yanhai, to the north deep into the Shan Yu royal court, 30 days later, Li Ling's troops and the Xiongnu 80,000 iron cavalry met in Junji Mountain. Between the two mountains of Li Lingtun's soldiers, he ordered to use the cart as a military camp, and when he went out to fight, "he held a halberd shield in front of him, and a bow and crossbow in the rear", and when the Hun army approached, "a thousand crossbows were fired and fell in response to the string". Win your first battle. The Xiongnu mobilized reinforcements and attacked continuously, and Li Ling shot Shan Yu with a "repeating crossbow", so that Shan Yu was almost hit by an arrow. With one as ten, he fought and won successes, and killed more than 10,000 Hun cavalry in ten days. According to the prior arrangement, he fought and retreated, leading the Xiongnu to the Han-Hungarian border due south, where the general Lu Bode was responsible for leading the army to meet him.
But just when there were only more than 100 miles left from the Han Dynasty's border barrier, the Han army was blocked by the Xiongnu to retreat, and the ammunition was exhausted, and finally the Xiongnu besieged the Han army in the valley, and ten thousand arrows were fired, and the Han army was exhausted of food, leaving only the short knives and spokes carried with them as weapons, and they could not effectively fight back. At this time, the reinforcements that Li Ling had been waiting for had been delayed, and seeing that it was hopeless, Li Ling could only choose to break through to the death.
At that time, Li Ling looked up to the sky and sighed, "Dozens of arrows are recovered, which is enough to get rid of it", but unfortunately God did not give Li Ling a chance to turn the tables. In the middle of the night, Li Ling led more than a dozen strong men to break through and was discovered by the Huns, and thousands of cavalry chased after him. In the breakout battle, only a dozen people followed, Li Ling's deputy general Han Yannian was killed in battle, and at the last moment, Li Ling shouted: "Report Your Majesty without a face!" So he laid down his arms and surrendered to the Huns.
It can be said that in the history of the former Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu, Li Ling resisted the 80,000 brave enemies of the Xiongnu with 5,000 soldiers and men, and persisted for more than ten days.
Although the battle of Junjishan proved Li Ling's military talent, the final outcome made him infamous as a "traitor".
After learning of Li Ling's defeat and surrender, Emperor Wu of Han was furious. The ministers all said that Li Ling was guilty, and only Sima Qian said, "The mausoleum is filial piety, and the scholars believe in it, and often work hard to die for the country." It has the style of a countryman. Today's move is unfortunate, and the minister who protects his wife with his whole body will be short, and it will be painful! And the Lingti foot soldiers are less than 5,000, the land of deep horses, suppressing tens of thousands of divisions, captives to save the dead and help the wounded, and the people who raise the bow to besiege it. Turning thousands of miles, the arrow is exhausted, the soldier opens his empty fist, riskes the white blade, fights for the enemy in the north, and wins the death force of people, although the ancient famous generals are not. Although he was defeated, the defeat he was also violent enough to be violent in the world. He is immortal, and he should be able to repay the Han as well. ”
Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was furious, didn't care about this, put Sima Qian in prison, and then sentenced him to corruption. There is a reason why Emperor Wu of Han was so angry. In his eyes, Li Ling was burdened with the original sin, and this original sin was Li Ling's grandfather Li Guang.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, there was the famous rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and Li Guang was the captain of the cavalry at the time, and was ordered to follow the Taiwei Zhou Yafu to send troops to quell the rebellion. In order to commend Li Guang for his heroic performance in the defense of Liang, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, conferred the rank of general on Li Guang. After all, Li Guang lacked political experience, thinking that Liang Wanggui was the younger brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and that the Han and Liang States were not both family, so he happily accepted this reward. However, Li Guang did not expect that the reward of King Liang was privately granted, and it was an act of arrogance to accept the military position of a subject country as a general of the Han Dynasty. What's more, Emperor Jing of Han also thought about passing on the throne to King Liang!
Since then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has had a problem with Li Guang. In the fourth year of Yuanzhen, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led the army to fight against the Xiongnu, the war was unfavorable, Wei Qing put the responsibility on Li Guang, and Li Guang was angry and killed himself. After that, Li Guang's son, Li Ling's uncle Li Kang, was shot to death by Huo Quzhi because he injured Wei Qing.
The emperor of the early Han Dynasty has always been very mean to the heroes, especially Liu Bang has done a good job for the descendants of the Li family, but he can't resist the squeeze of his relatives, so Li Ling has been holding his breath in his heart, eager to make meritorious contributions and revive the family style. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was extremely dissatisfied with Li Ling's mind and wanted to give this young man a little color, so in this campaign against the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used four moves, pressing step by step, and finally forced Li Ling to a dead end.
The first move, the radical general, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deliberately arranged for Li Ling to be his subordinate to Li Guangli, who was also a relative, but Li Ling was naturally unwilling. In order to prove himself, he asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight, and went deep into the court of the Xiongnu alone. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said, "Evil is evil!" I have a lot of troops, and I don't want to ride women", which means that I will not equip you with cavalry, even if you ride a horse, Li Ling said, "Nothing to ride, the minister is willing to attack the crowd with less, and 5,000 infantry are involved in the court", which means that I don't need cavalry. In the face of Li Ling's impulsive behavior, Emperor Wu of Han, who was proficient in the art of war, instead of stopping him, lied to Lu Bode and said that he originally wanted to equip Li Ling with cavalry, but Li Ling refused, and Emperor Wu of Han did this, undoubtedly giving Li Ling and his 5,000 foot soldiers to Shan Yu to slaughter.
The second move, no reinforcement, if you use these 5,000 foot soldiers as bait, ambush the elite troops in your own rear, lure the other party into your own encirclement, and gather and annihilate the opponent's main force, then this military strategy is of course very reasonable. However, the scheduled reinforcements did not appear, and the main general, Lubow, should undoubtedly be court-martialed. What is strange is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only did not cure Lu Bode's crime, but on the contrary, he also sent Lu Bode to fight against the Xiongnu again in the second year, asking him to contact Li Ling to cooperate with the outside world, and take Li Ling back to the court after his success. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself once said that Lu Bode's failure to rescue Li Ling was a "veteran **fraud", but he still sent this "treacherous" person to pick up Li Ling, which shows that it was not a "veteran **fraud", but the emperor himself "**fraud".
The third move, framing, the generals sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to pick up Li Ling were carefully selected, in addition to Li Ling's two sworn enemies, Li Guangli and Lu Bode, there was also Gongsun Ao. Gongsun Ao is attached to Li Guangli, so naturally he will not have any sympathy for Li Ling. Sure enough, after Gongsun Ao returned to the division, he wrote and said, "Catch alive, say that Li Ling taught Shan Yu to be a soldier to prepare for the Han army, so the minister has nothing to gain", which means that the Han army once captured a prisoner, according to the captive, Li Ling became Shan Yu's most powerful right-hand man in the Xiongnu, taught Shan Yu the art of war, and prepared to invade the Han Dynasty, so he could not take him back.
The fourth move, after hearing Gongsun Ao's accusations, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and without doing any investigation, he ordered Li Ling's family to be wiped out only by Gongsun Ao's words, and Li Ling's mother, wife, children and brothers were all ambushed. The Li family was originally loyal and good for generations, but now it has ended up with an ending of "Dr. Longxi is ashamed of the Li family". The family was ruined, the name was ruined, and Li Ling's last retreat was also cut off cleanly, and in the end he could only live in the Xiongnu for a long time, and never returned to the Han land, and offended the two generations of the Han family's son of heaven The Longxi Li family, also since Li Guang After three generations, he was gradually removed from the top military generals of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, even if Li Ling was framed by the Han family, but he did not do anything harmful to the Han family for the Xiongnu, when Li Ling first arrived in the Xiongnu, "suddenly like crazy, self-pain Han", however, Li Ling, who was not tolerated by the Han Dynasty, was treated by Shan Yu in the Xiongnu, not only married his daughter to him, but also named Li Ling as the king of the right school. In the third year of the conquest, Li Ling was ordered by Shan Yu to lead 30,000 Xiongnu elite soldiers to chase after the tired soldiers of the Han army, and he actually came to Junji Mountain again. However, this elite cavalry, which was brave and good at fighting, waiting for work at ease, and pursuing with victory, turned to fight for nine days but finally returned in vain. Isn't it strange given Li Ling's military prowess and his familiarity with the terrain of Junji Mountain?
It can only be said that Li Ling still has the Han family in mind, but he never has the idea of returning to the hometown of the Han family, and even after Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the auxiliary minister Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji used to be good friends of Li Ling, so he sent Li Ling's old man Ren Lizheng to envoy the Xiongnu to persuade Li Ling to return, but he did not agree.
Now, in Yuan Shao's superstition to He Jin, there are only the words "Li Ling", and its meaning is obvious, that is, to let Fuquan, who is now alone, be the "Li Ling" of this dynasty!
