74 Flying General Li Guang
However, it is said that in 154 BC, the Seven Kingdoms led by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Liu Wei completely collapsed. The Seven-Nation Alliance came to Chang'an in a mighty manner. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty took Zhou Yafu as his lieutenant and led the army against the Seven-Nation Alliance. At the same time, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty pushed his younger brother Liu Wu, the king of Liang, to the front and asked him to defend Suiyang, the capital of Liang.
Faced with the powerful Seven-Nation Alliance, Liu Wu sent people to ask Zhou Yafu for help. How do you know that Zhou Yafu refused to send reinforcements, which made Liu Wu hate this second generation of Gong to death.
Later, Zhou Yafu saw that the time was ripe, and immediately led 36 generals out of the pass to quell the rebellion, and Li Guang was among them with the rank of cavalry captain. At that time, the Han army chased to the city of Changyi, and Li Guang shot arrows and slashed along the way, miraculously captured the rebel army flag and made great achievements, and his reputation was shocked. When Liu Wu saw Li Guang's bloody battle scene, he couldn't help but secretly accept it.
Later, Liu Wu held a banquet to entertain the generals of the Han army, praised the young Li Guanghao, and privately awarded him the seal of General Liang Guo. Li Guang, who had little political experience, believed that Liu Wu was the emperor's younger brother, and he was properly the prince of the empire with the Empress Dowager Dou under his cover. also accepted the general seal of Liang State.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty soon heard about the intersection between Li Guang and his younger brother, and immediately became angry, thinking that if you want to burn Liu Wu's cold stove, then go up to the border to burn it, far away from the court, out of sight.
In this way, Li Guang, who made great contributions in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, lost the excellent opportunity to be a marquis, but he was assigned to the border pass as Shanggu Taishou and found the Xiongnu to be angry. This is Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's disguised punishment of Li Guang, but it has achieved Li Guang's immortal reputation in later generations, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
However, a Taishou soldier is limited, and his military exploits are not great, and Li Guang often kills himself and forgets his subordinates. When the battle exploits were finally counted, Li Guang killed dozens of enemies, but his subordinates suffered more than 100 casualties, and the merits were not worth it. In this way, although there is no battle every day, Li Guang really does not have any excellent military exploits, and he is gradually moving away from the feudal marquis.
Of course, there is also the basic national policy of the Han Dynasty behind this, as long as the Xiongnu do not go too far, they don't want to fight with it.
Li Guang was idle, and one day someone from the countryside came to invite him to drink, and Li Guang went to the banquet with a horseman. Drinking until the evening home, passing by the pavilion, it was just when the Baling County Lieutenant came to patrol the night, and he shouted to stop. Originally, the Han system did not allow people to walk at night, and those who walked at night were called night walkers. Before Li Guang could reply, he had already signed up on his behalf, saying that it was General Li. The county lieutenant was also drunk at this time, and said brazenly: "Even the current general should not commit the night, let alone the late general?" So he left Li Guang and the horse soldiers under the pavilion to sleep for the night, and had to return home the next morning. Li Guangsu is narrow-minded, and he has a grudge after being insulted by Captain Baling, and wants to take revenge.
Li Guang always entertained himself by shooting and hunting, and he was especially fond of shooting tigers by nature, and every time he lived in a border county, he heard that there were tigers in his land, so he took a bow and arrow to shoot them. Li Guang often led the soldiers with him, across the mountains and mountains to look for tiger tracks, if the tiger was met by him, one arrow, do not want to live, I don't know how many killed. One day, Li Guangxing went to the corner of the mountain, and suddenly a gust of wind passed, and a group of big tigers came to him. As soon as the tiger saw someone, he crouched on the ground, roared and pounced with his teeth and claws. At this time, Li Guang and the tiger were only a few feet apart, and the entourage soldiers saw the ferocity, and they were caught off guard for a while, and they were so frightened that they were at a loss. Li Guang stretched out his bow and shot at the tiger in a hurry. said that it was too late, it was too fast, and the tiger had already pounced on Li Guang with one claw. A group of soldiers rushed to rescue with weapons, and suddenly saw the tiger kicking on all fours, falling straight to the ground and dying. Seeing that Li Guang's body was also drenched in blood, everyone recalled that the scene was extremely dangerous, and they didn't feel terrified, so they helped Li Guang to go back to the hospital for treatment. Li Guang almost died this time, and he didn't mind when others were wary of others, and he didn't mind until the scars were healed, and he still went out hunting.
Another day back to the foot of the mountain, there seemed to be a tiger squatting in the middle of the grass, hurriedly stretched out the bow and arrows to shoot over. From the time he saw him shoot the tiger, he immediately went over to pull it, but when he approached the grass and took a closer look, it was not a tiger, but a big stone! The strangest thing is that the arrow penetrates about a few inches through the stone, and the arrow feathers are exposed on it, but you can't pull it out by hand. The public was surprised by each other and reported back to Li Guang. Li Guang didn't believe it and watched it, but it was really good, so he went back to the original place to inject it, and the arrow was completely unacceptable to the stone, and the arrow was broken. Li Guang shot several arrows in a row, but could not enter. The stone nature is strong, and it is not possible for an arrow to penetrate, and Li Guang regards the stone as a tiger to shoot it with all his might, and it is not surprising that it is moderate in its gap.
Once Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty somehow remembered Li Guang, so he sent eunuchs to inspect Li Guang's army under the pretext of patrolling. At this time, just in time for the Huns to attack, the eunuch led dozens of cavalry to gallop on horseback, and suddenly met three Huns. The eunuch felt that he could make meritorious service by fighting more and less, so he killed the three Huns. Who knew that these three people had excellent archery skills, not only wounded the eunuch, but also shot their entourage. The eunuch was frightened and had to flee back to Li Guang.
As soon as Li Guang heard this, he knew that the eunuch had met the Xiongnu Condor Archer, which made him very excited. Li Guang likes to PK with the Huns and the Condor Archers, but he never meets him. Now that he heard that there were condor shooters, Li Guang immediately brought more than 100 cavalry to find a field.
Under the guidance of the eunuchs, Li Guang and his entourage caught up with the Condor Archer. These three guys are really brave and bold, and they don't ride horses, they just walk unhurriedly in front, which seems to be waiting for Li Guang to chase them.
This is also too arrogant, how can Li Guang, who has a bad temper, stand it! Li Guang immediately aimed at archery, but when he heard the sound of the bowstring, one had already fallen to the ground; Before they could open their bows, another fell; The rest of the people were about to shoot an arrow, and Li Guang's third arrow came again. Two of the three were dead, and one was still alive. Left and right caught up, Li Guang asked Ming the origin, and it turned out to be the condor shooter among the Huns, so he ordered him to be tied up left and right. Li Guang got on his horse and was about to return to the camp, when he suddenly saw a big dust and sand in front of him, but he looked at the Xiongnu horse team, about thousands of people coming from all over the mountains.
Li Guang's cavalry suddenly encountered the Hun brigade, everyone was afraid, and they only had a hundred horsemen, and the disparity in numbers was overwhelming, so they had to ride their horses and flee. Li Guang hurriedly stopped and said, "No, we are separated from the enemy army for several miles." If the Huns escape, they will definitely chase after them, and we will die immediately; It's better to stand and not leave, the Huns think I'm tempting the enemy, and I don't dare to attack and still be safe. So Li Guang pulled out the team to move in reverse, and when he was two miles away from the Xiongnu position, he ordered to stand up, and ordered all the soldiers to get off their horses and unsaddle and rest. The subordinates were suspicious: "There are many enemy soldiers, if you unsaddle it today, in case of emergency, I am afraid it will be too late." Li Guang said: "Hu Lu expects me to escape, and now I will not leave the saddle, and I want to make him think that we are the soldiers who lure the enemy." The subordinates had to do what they said. Seeing this, the Huns really didn't dare to attack.
Li Guang refused to fight with the Xiongnu for a long time, and suddenly saw a general from the Xiongnu team, riding a white horse to inspect the army. Li Guangfei got on the horse and took more than ten horsemen to run straight towards this person. Not far away, Li Guang shot an arrow, and the enemy general fell in response. Li Guangle the horse still returned to the same place, unsaddled the horse and released the horse to lie on the ground. Seeing that it was already dusk, the Huns felt that Li Guang's behavior was strange, and thought that the Han soldiers must have a large group of men and horses ambushing nearby, so it was better to retreat to avoid his plan, so he ordered the troops to return. It was already the middle of the night, and Li Guang waited until the Huns had retreated before leading the crowd back to camp. It was already the time of peace in the camp. When Emperor Jing heard about this, he praised Li Guang for his strategy, and transferred Li Guang to be the Taishou of Beidi, Yanmen, Daijun, Yunzhong, Longxi and other counties, all of which were known for their hard work.
After the death of Emperor Jing of Han, Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne. Emperor Wu heard of Li Guang's name and transferred him to the guard of Weiyang Palace, and the border county Taishou Cheng did not know and recalled the Beijing division and asked him to be the guard of Changle Palace. Li Guang is still wide in his use of soldiers, and he acts casually and does not restrict the army; Cheng does not know how to use troops strictly, and the whole department must be constrained. The two generals are both experts in border defense, and the soldiers are willing to follow Li Guang, not from Cheng. Cheng Buzhi also pushes Li Guang, but it is easy to be lenient and lose, and he would rather be strict. The two will be slightly different if they have the same reputation.
In the new year, the Xiongnu sent envoys to apply for peace. Wang Hui said that it was better to enter the army with his excellent camera. Han Anguo was the imperial historian at this time, advocating harmony. Wang Hui said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for a few years, Weijia has unified Huayi all over the world, and the Huns have invaded and robbed unscrupulously, if you don't try to fight, how to demonstrate!" Han Anguo retorted: "The minister heard that Emperor Gao was trapped in Pingcheng for seven days without eating, and he did not have a grudge against each other when he returned from the siege, which shows that the sage takes the world as his heart and does not want to harm the public for personal gain." Since with the Xiongnu and the pro-Li and the fifth, so the minister thought that it was not as good as the lord and! Wang Hui said again: "This statement is specious. In the past, Emperor Gao did not complain, because the world was newly settled, and he should not repeatedly raise teachers and work for the people. Today, the sea has been peaceful for a long time, only the Huns have repeatedly come to Koubian, often suffering casualties for the people, and the benevolent gentleman is saddened, so why not take the opportunity to chase it! Han Anguo retorted again: "The minister heard that there is a saying in the art of war, and he will be full of hunger and leisure, so he will sit and retreat from the enemy without a fight." Now I want to roll up the armor and drive deep into it, and I am afraid that the enemy will be captured by the enemy, so I am determined to fight the Lord and the Lord! Wang Hui shook his head and said: "Han Yushi apprentice read the military book and did not understand the military strategy, if we let our soldiers enter lightly, it is dangerous, now we should lure him into the fortress to set up an ambush and invite him, so that he is in a dilemma left and right by the enemy. ”
After listening to it for a long time, Emperor Wu also felt that Wang Hui's plan could be used, so he made Han Anguo the general of the army, Wang Hui as the general of the general, Sun He as the general of the light car, Li Guang of the guard as the general of the cavalry, and Li Xi, the doctor of the middle school, as the general of the material officer, and led more than 300,000 soldiers and horses to set off quietly. Wang Hui ordered Nie Yi to see the military minister Shan Yu and said that he was willing to raise the city of Ma Yi to sacrifice the prisoners. Shan Yu seemed to believe it or not, so he asked Nie Yidao: "You are a businessman, how can you sacrifice the city?" Nie Yi replied: "I have hundreds of comrades, if I infiltrate Ma Yi and behead Ling Cheng, you can get property from disciplining the whole city, but I hope that Shan Yu will send troops to respond, so naturally there will be no other trouble!" Shan Yu was very happy when he heard this, and immediately sent his subordinates to follow Nie Yi into Ma Yi first, and then Nie Yi had to obey the order and then marched into the army. Nie Yi returned to Mayi, killed several death row prisoners first, and hung his head on the city, under the pretext that it was Ling Cheng's head. The Xiongnu came to report back to the military minister Shan Yu, and Shan Yu led 100,000 troops to respond.
The military minister passed by Wuzhou, but there was a pavilion fort on the side of the road, and he commanded the men and horses to surround the pavilion at the moment. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by the Huns' soldiers and horses, and he had no choice but to surrender to the Huns and report the Han general's plot. Shan Yu hurriedly returned, and galloped into the outside of the plug before he celebrated with his forehead and said: "I have to invite Heaven to bless the Pavilion Captain!" "While speaking, he summoned the pavilion captain and specially named the king of heaven.
At this time, Wang Hui had copied out of Daijun, intending to intercept the baggage from behind the Hun soldiers, and when he heard that Shan Yu was retreating, he thought that he had only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers with him, how could he beat the Hun brigade, so he collected the troops and returned them immediately. Han Anguo and others led the army to be stationed in the territory of Mayi, and there was no movement for several days, so they had to return to the capital empty-handed. Han Anguo and the others did not approve of Wang Hui's methods, and of course they were not guilty.
Wang Hui also went to see Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu couldn't help but be angry, saying that he had been punished for arsoning with the enemy. Wang Hui replied: "This time the division was originally planned to attack before and after the plan to capture Shan Yu, the generals divided the horses, and the ministers copied the enemy behind the interception of the baggage, unfortunately the good plan was leaked and the order was fled, and the ministers stopped 30,000 people, and they could not stop Shan Yu, if Your Majesty is open and forgives the ministers, the ministers are willing to invite merit to atone for their sins." "Emperor Wu ordered Wang Hui to be imprisoned. The court lieutenant discussed the crime and should be beheaded, and Emperor Wu immediately corrected the law according to the time limit. Wang Hui was in a panic, and secretly sent someone to offer a thousand gold to Prime Minister Tian Wei to rescue him. Tian Wei saw that the money was not acceptable, but seeing that Emperor Wu was angry, he did not dare to speak, and only the Queen Mother could redeem the emperor's will. Then he saw the queen mother and said: "Wang Hui's plan to attack the Xiongnu ambush soldiers and horses was originally a good plan, but it was discovered by the Xiongnu. If Wang Hui is punished today, it is tantamount to avenging the Huns! How can we make mistakes again and again? "The Queen Mother did not interfere much in political affairs, but only because of her brother's words, she had to agree. When Emperor Wu entered the province, he briefly described what Tian Wei said. Emperor Wu replied: "The battle of Ma Yi was originally Wang Hui's mastermind, and he sent 300,000 troops to achieve great success, so he made Shan Yu retreat and did not miss my plan, but Wang Hui has copied out behind the enemy, why not invite a battle to comfort the hearts of the people?" Now Wang Hui is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he can't stay, if he doesn't follow the law, how can he thank the world! ”
The Queen Mother had no relationship with Wang Hui, but she changed her words for the sake of her mother's and brother's affection. Seeing that Emperor Wu was righteous and strict, he also felt that it was inconvenient to say more, and after Emperor Wu left the palace, he made someone report back to Tian Wei. Tian Wei saw that things were not good, so he had to refuse Wang Hui. I wonder if the money has ever been returned? Wang Hui knew that there was no hope, so he committed suicide in prison. According to the facts, the prison officials heard that there was an edict to exempt them.
However, it is said that the military minister Shan Yu returned to the army since Mayi, and complained that the Han court designed to trap him, so he cut off his affinity, and sent troops into the fortress from time to time to invade and rob. Emperor Wu wanted to send troops to recruit him for a long time, but he had no time to take care of it because of many events in the court. In the spring of the sixth year of Yuanguang, the Xiongnu re-entered the upper valley to kill and plunder the people. Emperor Wu then worshiped Wei Qing as the general of the chariot cavalry, and the soldiers went out of the upper valley; Gongsun He is a light car general, and the soldiers are out of the clouds; Taizhong Doctor Gongsun Ao is a cavalry general, and the soldiers go out of the county; Li Guangwei, the commander of the guard, was a cavalry general, and his troops went out of Yanmen, each leading a team of 10,000 horses to attack the Huns. The four generals were ordered to go their separate ways. Seventy years since Gaozu was besieged by Baideng, the Han soldiers went out of the fortress for the first time.
When the Xiongnu heard that the Han soldiers were coming, they hurriedly ordered their subordinates to prepare to meet the enemy. First of all, Li Guangbing went out of Yanmen, and happened to meet Shan Yu's brigade, and the two fought for a long time. There were more than 100,000 Xiongnu soldiers, and there were only 10,000 Han soldiers, and there was a huge disparity in numbers. Although Li Guang was brave and good at fighting, it was difficult to win in the end, and more than half of his soldiers died, and Hu soldiers surrounded Li Guang on all sides. Li Guangdong's westward rush could not get out. Shan Yu heard Li Guang's name, but now he saw that he was trapped in his heart, and hurriedly issued an order that Li Guang must be captured alive and not killed. Later, Li Guang was exhausted and wounded, and he couldn't resist, so Hu Bing rushed forward and captured Li Guang. Shan Yu was overjoyed in his heart and returned to the army. Li Guang's subordinate generals saw that the main general was captured and was unable to rescue, so they had to collect the defeated soldiers and retreat to the garrison for dozens of miles. Hu Bing sang a triumphant song together. Although Li Guang was captured, he was very calm in his heart, intending to escape, and deliberately pretended to be seriously injured and could not sit up. Hu Bing expected that it would be difficult for him to escape, so he did not tie it, took out the rope net, tied Li Guangsheng, and walked slowly between the two horses.
Li Guang was lying on the Internet, surrounded by Hu soldiers on the front and back, and if he wanted to escape, he simply closed his eyes and faked his death. After walking for more than ten miles, Li Guang peeked and saw a good horse sitting on a good horse, so he tried his best to break the rope, jumped up and jumped on Hu'er's horse, pushed Hu'er off the horse, grabbed the bow and arrows and whipped south. Hu Bing saw that Guang got off his horse and hurriedly pursued, but fortunately, most of the Hu soldiers could not catch up, and dozens of people rode on good horses to gradually catch up, so Li Guang shot back at the pursuers with the bow and arrow he had captured, and all of them fell down. Li Guang walked and shot, and traveled for dozens of miles, but met the remnants of his subordinates. Hu Bing couldn't catch up and had to go back, and Li Guang had to escape.
After Li Guang returned, the imperial court handed him over to the officials to dispose of. The officials believed that Li Guang had suffered heavy losses and was captured alive by the enemy, so he should be beheaded, and later Li Guang was redeemed as a concubine.
Just because Li Guang fought with the Huns several times, he was famous for a long time; In addition, he was injured and captured the previous time, and he was able to escape on a single horse surrounded by many people, which was really unpredictable, so that the Huns were afraid of him, and gave Li Guang a nickname, called "General Han Fei".
