The forest is dark and the grass is frightened, and the general draws the bow at night. Ping Ming looked for the white feather, but he was not in the stone ridge. This poem titled "Stopper" was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Lun, and this poem is based on "Historical Records: The Biography of General Li".

According to reports, General Li was Li Guang, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty. In the sixth year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty, he led more than 10,000 cavalry generals out of Yanmen Pass 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.

Li Guang later served as the Taishou of Beiping County. The Huns were afraid of submission and called them flying generals. I didn't dare to do it for several years. In the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, 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.

At this time, Li Guang, the general of Lifei, committed suicide for a long time. On the streets of the small town of the Xiongnu Kingdom in the vast desert north, there is a middle-aged man in his forties, he is wearing a bearded mink outfield, wearing Han Dynasty clothes, riding a red war horse is slowly coming along the streets of the town, and he sighs in his heart: "Looking back at his hometown, the way back is boundless!" This way of return is the name of the war, and the mountains and rivers are isolated、、、、、、

This man is wearing combat boots, a bow on his left side, a quiver on his right, dressed as a general, looking at his face, this person's face is like a crown of jade, shining in May, his eyes are like stars, and his expression is solemn. Although Hu is dressed in Hu clothes, but it is incompatible with Hu people, this person is the Han Dynasty cavalry commander surnamed Li Mingling, the word Shaoqing, is the grandson of Li Guang, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, because of the defeat against the Xiongnu and surrendered, originally planned to wait for the opportunity to return to the Han Dynasty.

The following year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Gongsun Ao to rescue Li Ling, the captive spy said that Li Ling helped the Xiongnu train defense, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed this and killed Li Ling's whole family, causing him to completely cut off relations with the Han Dynasty, his heart was full of contradictions of national hatred and family hatred, and later married Shan Yu's daughter Tuoba as his wife, and the children born were all surnamed Tuoba, although Shan Yu was named the right school king, but basically adopted a non-cooperative attitude for the Xiongnu "service".

The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, as far as the eye can see, there is only Li Ling on the street of the town of the Huns in Mobei, riding a horse with a bow and arrows, and is going to the workshop of the town to build iron tools, his heart is full of the boredom of his family and country, how do he know that this lonely and lonely foreign land has increased a sense of loneliness in a foreign land, looking back, the Han Dynasty is reckless, and the mountains are high and the road is far away、、、、、、

When he walked to the street, he looked at the blacksmith in a workshop, who was making a copper lock, and the copper lock had begun to take shape, and after a while, the copper lock was finished, and the blacksmith began to carve the pattern of mandarin ducks on the copper lock.

In the middle of the night, Li Ling dismounted and walked in, and in an instant, the craftsman handed over the bronze lock to him, he looked at the mandarin duck pattern engraved on it, held it in his hand, and then gave the craftsman a gold coin. When he got home, Li Ling walked into the study and opened the copper lock, and took out the golden knife, which was like a small copper box, and he engraved all the forty-nine strokes of riding and archery martial arts that his grandfather Li Guang passed to him on the inner wall of the copper lock, thinking that one day he would return to the Han Dynasty and teach these riding and archery martial arts to the descendants of the Han Dynasty.

Twenty years later, Li Ling handed over this copper lock to his children before his death, passed down from generation to generation, to the seventh generation of Li Ling's grandson Tuoba Hui's generation, the Xiongnu country has rumors, Tuoba Hui's family has a mandarin duck copper lock, the copper lock is engraved with Li Guang's forty-nine strokes of riding and archery martial arts footwork, with this mandarin duck copper lock, you can command the Han Dynasty martial arts, pacify the world, and unify the sixteen countries of the Western Regions. This spread was not good, the words were like long legs, and soon spread throughout the Xiongnu Kingdom, neighboring tribes, and various factions in the rivers and lakes of the Han Dynasty.

The position of the left and right bones of the Xiongnu is now held by Helian Tuo, and he and the left general Tuoba Hui can also be regarded as good friends, and he has already secretly told Tuoba Hui the news, reminding him to always be vigilant, and also sent some guards to secretly protect Tuoba Hui's family, at the same time, the neighboring tribes of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty also have martial arts masters infiltrated the Xiongnu.

One summer, at dusk, Tuoba Hui, the left general of the Huns, came straight to the back study of the house after returning from the border pass, just as his wife Ijura came to Fu Fu and asked: "The general is in a hurry, I don't know why?" Tuoba Hui settled down, and then asked Irula: "Juji, what about the two children?" Ijura smiled and said: "In the study!" Tuoba Hui didn't speak, pulled his wife to the study, pushed open the door and saw the two children learning calligraphy with Mr., and hurriedly said: "Today's hard work Mr. The gentleman hurriedly returned the courtesy and retreated, and Tuoba Hui hurriedly closed the door and approached the two children.

At this moment, the doorman came to report, the left and right bones of the Marquis Herento came to visit, his wife Ijura hurriedly avoided, Tuoba Hui went out to greet him, and after a while, the guest and the host sat down, and Helianto and Tuoba Hui whispered.

After that, Tuoba Hui got up and saluted: "According to the arrangement of the Gudu Hou, wouldn't it be more dangerous for Ju Ci to live in seclusion with the two children?" Helian Tuo stroked his curly beard and said: "The general can rest assured, I will send a first-class master to protect it, now Tianhu is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, various tribes, and the heroes are competing for each other, you and I are unable to protect ourselves, how can Ju Ci and the two children be by his side?" Tuoba Hui nodded when he heard this, and said: "What the Gudu Hou sees is high and far, and he will follow the Gudu Hou." ”

Late that night, Tuoba Hui and Helian Tuo sent people to escort his wife Ijura and their two children, quietly left Kangju, the capital of the Xiongnu State, and lived in seclusion to a place called Saishang Jiangnan.

At that time, the Xiongnu claimed to be Hu, not Xiongnu, the Xiongnu were only recorded in the historical records, and the titles were different from those of the Han Dynasty.
