Chapter 128 During the military parade of the Great Dynasty Meeting

readx;??? Speaking of military parades, it is natural that there must be a parade commander. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, in this regard, Zhang Jiashi did not find fault with anything, but directly chose the commander of this thousand-person team, Li Xin, the youngest son of Li Xin, the general of the Great Qin Empire.

As a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, although Li Pleiades' personal strength in military affairs is far inferior to that of his father Li Xin, this is more due to Li Pleia's poor actual combat experience.

After Li Xin unified the Six Kingdoms of the First Emperor, he gradually faded into active service, and Li Xin was Li Xin's youngest son after the defeat of Chu State, and he was born after he was idle at home. But as a fierce general, Li Xin's requirements for Li Yu are also very strict.

Therefore, after Li Xin's comeback, Zhang Jiashi, who knew that Li Xin's strength was not weak, in order to take care of Li Xin's face and win over the Li family in Longxi, a military family that could be said to have risen in the Great Qin Empire, Li Li was specially recruited by Zhang Jiashi as a commander of the Zhonglang Army under his command.

Zhang Jiashi didn't think about letting him directly serve as a hundred generals in the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, but he also knew Li Xin's character very well, if he really arranged Li Yu like this, Li Xin might just let Li Yu go home. Because although Li Xin is plain and arrogant, he also attaches great importance to face or something, and he doesn't want Li Xin to be considered to be a middle-level officer from the beginning because of him after he is recruited.

And after the conquest of Li Pleiades, Zhang Jiashi remembered a fierce general of the Li family in Longxi, who was also very famous in later generations.

This person is Li Guang.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi can be said to not have much thought about Li Guang, who was born in 190 BC.

There has been no accurate information about Li Guang's birth year, and even the Qingyu Spirit Book has no record of this.

The only record that can be deduced that Li Guangsheng's year is about the year of B.C., is that in 166 B.C. (the fourteenth year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty), the Xiongnu invaded Xiaoguan in a big way, and Li Guang joined the army to fight against the Xiongnu as a son of the Liang family.

Li Guang once traveled with the emperor, and there were things about charging into battle to resist the enemy and fighting with fierce beasts, so Emperor Wen of Han said: "It's a pity, you didn't meet the opportunity, if you were born in the era of Gaozu, it would be okay to seal the marquis of ten thousand households!"

Compared with Li Guang's death year, it is 119 BC, it can be said that when Li Guang committed suicide by delaying a fighter plane on the battlefield, he should have been between 70 and 65 years old.

As a veteran in ancient times, continuing to fight at this age is already considered a limit, and it is very likely that even in the Battle of Mobei, even if Li Guang did not commit suicide because of the delay of the fighter, I am afraid that he would retire from active service in a few years.

Of course, there is another theory, that is, Li Ling and Sima Qian were of the same age, Sima Qian was born in 145 BC, which means that Li Guang's grandson Li Ling was born around the age of 46 to 40 years old Li Guang, which is also a reasonable inference in the Western Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi believes that Li Guang's birth year in 190 BC is not a groundless speculation.

As for whether Li Guang is Li Xin's grandson or great-grandson, Zhang Jiashi really can't judge this. But on both fronts, this makes sense. And Zhang Jiashi's malicious speculation at this time is that maybe Li Guang is the youngest son of Li Yu in front of him.

Li Yu, who was born around 226 BC, is now in the prime of life, and it is not surprising that he gave birth to Li Guang even after more than ten years. And Li Xin's eldest grandson Li Huang at this time is also about seventeen years old, even if it is more than ten years later, he is only in his twenties, and it is not strange to give birth to a fierce general like Li Guang.

So whether Li Guang is Li Xin's grandson or great-grandson, Zhang Jiashi thinks that such a thing will only be known after more than ten years.

Maybe at that time, a fierce general Zhengtai cultivation plan can be regarded as a good way to pass the time.

Following Zhang Jiashi and the Imperial Emperor Ying Xun, Li Xin, who was almost the same as the Imperial Prime Minister Chen Ping, who led the military attache queue forward, naturally did not know that his descendants, who were born more than ten years later, had been worried about Zhang Jiashi.

Of course, Li Xin showed a smile at this time, because the news that Li Li, as the leader of this thousand-person team, will also serve as the leader of this team is naturally very clear.

After all, at the beginning, after Zhang Jiashi asked for his opinion, he pretended to shirk it, and then "reluctantly" accepted Zhang Jiashi's corresponding arrangement.

And after everything was a foregone conclusion, Li Xin could be said to have blossomed in his heart for a long time. After all, Li Xin himself knows that no matter what, such an arrangement is naturally an honor or even a qualification for Li Li's body.

Although Li Xin is indeed very face-saving in a certain aspect, there is no doubt that as long as some things really touch Li Xin's "bottom line" too much, he will also show this old face......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

There is a famous saying about Li Guang, that is, "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal", Li Guang is not without the opportunity to be promoted to the marquis of Guan Nei or even the marquis of Liehou or the marquis of Che.

During the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, Li Guang served as the commander of the cavalry, and followed the lieutenant Zhou Yafu to counterattack the Wu and Chu rebels. Under the city of Changyi, he captured the banner of the rebels and made great contributions, which made him famous. However, because King Liang gave him the seal of the general, after returning to the division, he did not give a reward.

It is said that not only that, but Li Guang also received the salary of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and the corresponding rewards. When this news reached the ears of Emperor Han Jing, it was naturally a very sensitive matter.

In a sense, Li Guangruo was unlucky because of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in the time of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and he was unlucky, which is also not a strange situation.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang was also not liked by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.

In 141 BC (three years after Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty), Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty died, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne. The left and right ministers all thought that Li Guang was a famous general, so Li Guang was transferred from Shangjun Taishou to the chief of the Weiyang Palace Praetorian Guard, and Cheng Buzhi also came to serve as the chief of the Changle Palace Praetorian Guard.

From this point of view, it was not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who mobilized the two as the commander of the palace ban, but Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty or the Empress Dowager Dou at that time.

According to the corresponding legend, that is, Cheng Buzhi and Li Guang themselves are the confidant generals of the Empress Dowager Dou.

During that period, the southern army and the northern army guarding the Guanzhong were the private armies of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but as the emperor died and the new monarch succeeded to the palace guard command, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the Empress Dowager Dou had the reasons and opportunities to issue corresponding orders.

So at the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had a cold attitude towards Li Guang, after all, he had always been quite afraid of the existence of Empress Dowager Dou's grandmother, so it was not strange to have a disguised hatred for Li Guang.

In addition, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang's military exploits were indeed strictly speaking compared to the shining Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi and others.

In 129 BC (the sixth year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He and Wei Qing to lead an army of 40,000 to attack the invading Xiongnu army from Yanmen, Yunzhong, Daijun and Shanggu at the same time. Shan Yu heard that Li Guang was talented, and ordered: "The captured Li Guang must be sent alive." When the Hun cavalry captured Li Guang, Li Guangzheng was sick and wounded, so he put him between two horses and lay him in a netting pocket with ropes. After walking more than ten miles, Li Guang pretended to be dead, he squinted and saw a Hun boy riding a good horse next to him, Li Guang suddenly jumped on the Hun boy's horse, took advantage of the situation to push the boy down, took his bow, beat the horse and galloped south for dozens of miles, and met his remnants again, so he led them into the pass.

The Xiongnu sent hundreds of cavalry to chase him, and Li Guang shot the pursuing cavalry with a bow while fleeing, and was able to escape and return to the capital of the Han Dynasty, where the court handed Li Guang over to the law enforcement officials. The magistrate ruled that Li Guang had suffered too many casualties, and that he was captured alive by the Xiongnu and should be beheaded. Li Guang used money and goods to atone for the death penalty and cut his post to serve the people.

Not long after, the Xiongnu invasion killed the Taishou of Liaoxi, and defeated Han Anguo, who was guarding Yuyang, and Han Anguo transferred to Beiping. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Li Guang and appointed him as the Taishou of the Right Beiping, and Li Guang immediately asked to send Captain Baling to take up the post and kill him when he arrived in the army. After Li Guang was stationed in Youbeiping, the Huns were in awe of Li Guang's prestige and did not harass the western Liaoning region for several years. Not long after, Shi Jian died, so the emperor summoned Li Guang to replace Shi Jian as the lieutenant commander.

In 123 B.C. (the sixth year of Yuan Shuo), Li Guang was appointed as a general, and went out of Dingxiang with the army of the general Wei Qing to conquer the Xiongnu.

In 120 B.C. (three years of Yuan Hunt), Li Guang led 4,000 cavalry from the right Beiping to Lang Zhongling, Bowang Marquis Zhang Qian led 10,000 cavalry and Li Guang to march together, marched hundreds of miles on two roads, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King led 40,000 cavalry to surround Li Guang, Li Guang's soldiers were very afraid, Li Guang sent his son Li Dare to ride a horse to gallop in the Xiongnu army. Li Dang led dozens of his cavalry to gallop, straight through the Hun cavalry formation, and protruded from its left and right flanks. When he came back, he reported to Li Guang and said, "The Huns are very easy to deal with!" The soldiers were relieved. Li Guang formed a circular formation, facing outward, and the Xiongnu attacked like rain of arrows. More than half of the Han soldiers were dead, and they were running out of arrows. Li Guang ordered the soldiers to draw their bows and not to release arrows, and Li Guang used a rhubarb crossbow to shoot the Xiongnu deputy generals, killing several of them, and the Xiongnu army gradually dispersed. At this time, it was getting late, and the officers and soldiers were colorless, but Li Guang looked natural, and reorganized the troops even more, and the army was very admired from then on, and the reinforcements arrived, and the Hun army broke the siege and retreated. The Han army was too tired to pursue. Li Guang was almost completely annihilated, so he had to collect his troops and return to the court. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Bowang was slow to march and delayed the time limit, and should be sentenced to death, atonement for his crimes with money, and demoted to a commoner.

From such a situation, it is impossible for Li Guang to have no complaints.

Li Guangzeng had a private conversation with astrologer Wang Shuo and said: "Since the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, I have not once failed to participate, but the talents of officers below the rank of captain in each unit are not as good as those of the middle people, but dozens of people have been made marquis because of their military merits in attacking the Xiongnu. I'm not worse than others, but I don't have any credit for getting a fief, what is the reason for this, is it because my bone appearance should not be a marquis? Or is it my destiny?"

Wang Shuo said: "The general recalled, did you ever regret it?" Li Guang said: "I was too punctual in Longxi, the Qiang people rebelled, and I tricked them into surrendering more than 800 people, and I killed them all in one day by fraudulent means." To this day, my greatest regret is only this incident. Wang Shuo said: "There is nothing greater than killing those who have surrendered, and this is the reason why generals cannot be crowned marquis." ”

As for the reason why Li Guang got lost in the Battle of Mobei, there may be two aspects:

The first aspect is Li Guang's habit of commanding troops:

Cheng Buzhi and Li Guang used to serve as the border county Taishou and also took charge of the army garrison, to the time when the army was sent to attack the Xiongnu, Li Guang marched without strict queues and formations, and stationed troops near the places where the water and grass were abundant, and everyone felt convenient in the place where they stayed, and they did not fight at night to defend themselves, and the shogunate simplified all kinds of paperwork and books, but he arranged sentinels from afar, so he was never in danger. Cheng Buzhi was very strict with the formation of the team and the formation of the marching army and the garrison position, and he worked at night to work on the watch, and the clerical and military officials were unambiguous in handling official documents and books such as performance appraisals, and even stayed up all night, and the army could not get rest, but he never encountered danger.

Cheng Buzhi said: "Li Guang's army is simple and easy, but if the enemy suddenly attacks, he can't stop it. And his soldiers were also comfortable and happy, and they were willing to fight for him. Although my army is busy, the enemy does not dare to invade me. At that time, Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi were both famous generals in the border counties of the Han Dynasty, but the Xiongnu were afraid of Li Guang's strategy, and most of the soldiers were willing to follow Li Guang, and it was bitter to follow Cheng Buzhi.

From the above records, it can be seen that Li Guang was quite lax in the arrangement of the military array. But this point should have changed fundamentally after Li Guang was captured alive in the first defeat. This situation can also be seen from the rigor of Li Ling's combat formation. After all, such a situation is unlikely to be Li Ling's own comprehension, and there are also corresponding teachings from Li Guang.

On the other hand, Li Guang also had a habit of drinking heavily when he was marching and fighting.

Li Guang's alcoholism is not a rumor made out of nothing, but it is also recorded in the historical records.

If Li Guang really drank heavily while marching and fighting, then it would not be strange for the troops he led to get lost.

Therefore, Li Guang's suicide in shame is likely to be due to alcoholism.

But no matter what, Li Guang can be regarded as an outstanding general, and the reason why Zhang Jiashi thinks that Li Guang is worthy of his "waiting for investment" is also because Li Guang does have the foundation of being a famous general. At the same time, many of Li Guang's descendants are fierce generals, if you get a Li Guang who is better than history, then the next Li family personnel, if they serve the Great Qin Empire, will inevitably have a good command system for the military strength of the Great Qin Empire.
