After Emperor Jingdi acceded to the throne, Li Guang was appointed as a captain in Longxi and was appointed as General Riding Lang. When the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Li Guang was appointed as a captain, followed Qiu Zhou Yafu to fight against the rebels in Wu Chu, and captured the enemy flag at the gates of Changyi, making great contributions. However, because Liang Xiaowang privately awarded General Dayin to Li Guang, the court did not raise him after he returned to North Korea. He was transferred to Shanggu County, and the Xiongnu came to fight every day. Gong Sunkun cried and said to the emperor, "Li Guang's talent, making a westward journey, depends entirely on his own skills. He has fought the enemy head-on many times, and I am afraid that he will lose this elite soldier. " So he was appointed as the chief of Shangjun County. Later, Li Guang was transferred to the border county satrap, and was transferred to Shang Jun county magistrate. He was a magistrate in Longxi, Beidi, Yanmen, Dai Jun and Yunzhong. They are all famous for their hard work.
Xiongnu invaded Shang Jun on a large scale, and the emperor sent eunuchs to study military affairs with Li Guang to fight against Xiongnu. Eunuch led dozens of cavalry on horseback, met three Huns and fought with them. Three Huns turned and fired arrows, wounding the eunuch and killing almost all his cavalry. When the eunuch fled back to Li Guang, Li Guang said, "This must be a Xiongnu carving." Li Guang then took one hundred cavalry to pursue the Three Xiongnu. These three people walk without horses. After walking for dozens of miles, Li Guang ordered his cavalry to spread out from left to right and flank in two ways. He personally shot and killed the three men, killed two and captured one, which proved that he was a Xiongnu archer. After he was tied up and mounted his horse, he saw thousands of tarquin people from a distance. When they saw Li Guang, they thought that the cavalry had lured the enemy. They were all surprised and ran to the mountain to set up their positions. Li Guang's hundreds of cavalry is also greatly frightened, want to run back to the horse to escape. Li Guang said: "We have left the army for dozens of miles. According to the present situation, as soon as our 100 cavalry runs away, the Huns will chase and shoot, and we will be killed at once. Now that we stay, the Huns must think that we are an army to lure the enemy and dare not attack us. " Li Guang ordered the cavalry: "Forward!" The cavalry marched forward and reached a place about two miles from the Xiongnu position. They stopped and ordered, "All dismount, dismount!" The cavalry said, "There are so many enemies and they are very close. What should we do if there is an emergency? " Li Guang said: "Those enemies thought we would run away, and now we all take off our saddles to show that we will not run away, which makes them more convinced that we are the soldiers who lure the enemy." So Takan finally dared not attack. A Hun general on a white horse came out to protect his soldiers. Li Guang immediately mounted his horse and ran with a dozen cavalry, killing the Hun general riding a white horse. Then he returned to his cavalry, unloaded his saddle, and let the soldiers release their horses and lie down casually. At this time, it was dusk, and the Xiongnu army always felt strange and dared not attack. In the middle of the night, Xiongnu soldiers thought there was an ambush in the Han Dynasty nearby and wanted to sneak attack at night, so Xiongnu led the troops to evacuate. The next morning, Cai Li returned to his camp The army didn't know the whereabouts of Li Guang, so they couldn't see him later.
After a few years, Emperor Jing died and Emperor Wu ascended the throne. Ministers all thought that Li Guang was a famous star, so Li Guang was transferred from Shangjun County to the leader of the Guards of Weiyang Palace, and Cheng Wu was also appointed as the leader of the Guards of Changle Palace. Chengwu and Li Guang used to be the prefect of the border county and were in charge of the army garrison. To send troops to attack the Huns, Li Guang marched without strict queues and formations. The troops were stationed near the lush water plants, and everyone thought it convenient to stop at night. The shogunate simplified all kinds of documents and books, but he arranged sentries in the distance, so he never met with danger. Cheng didn't know that he was very strict about the preparation of the team, the marching queue and the position in the camp. In the evening, he works overtime, and the clerical staff handles official documents such as performance appraisal until dawn. The army can't rest, but it has never been in danger. Not knowing this, Cheng said, "It's easy for Li Guang to rule the army. If the enemy attacks, it will be unstoppable. And his foot soldiers are comfortable and happy, willing to die for him. Although our army is busy with military affairs, the enemy dare not invade me. " At that time, Li Guang and Cheng Ignorance in the border county of Han Dynasty were famous soldiers, but the Huns were afraid of Li Guang's strategy, and most of them were willing to follow Li Guang and Cheng Ignorance to suffer. Cheng didn't know that when he was in Jingdi, he was named Dr. Taizhong because of his repeated outspoken advice. He is clean and keeps court documents and decrees.
Later, the Han Dynasty lured Khan with Mayi City and sent troops to ambush in the valleys on both sides of Mayi. Li Guang was appointed General Xiao, who was under the jurisdiction of the General. At that time, Khan discovered the strategy of the Han army and ran away. The Han army has no meritorious military service. Four years later, Li Guang was appointed as a general by Wei Yan, and started his crusade against Xiongnu in Yanmenguan. The Huns were outnumbered, defeated Li Guang's army and captured Li Guang alive. Khan heard that Li Guang was very talented at ordinary times and ordered: "Li Guang must be taken alive." Tarquin captured Li Guang. At that time, Li Guang was injured and ill, so he put Li Guang between two horses and put it in the rope net pocket. After walking more than ten miles, Li Guang pretended to be dead. He narrowed his eyes and saw a Xiongnu boy riding a good horse beside him. Li Guang suddenly jumped on the horse of Xiongnu boy, pushed the boy down, grabbed his bow, rode the horse dozens of miles south, and met his remains, so he led them into Guansai. The Huns sent hundreds of chasing cavalry to chase him. Li Guang picked up the bow of the Xiongnu boy, fled and shot the chasing cavalry, only to escape. So he returned to the capital of the Han Dynasty, and the court handed Li Guang over to law enforcement officers. The magistrate ruled that Li Guang suffered too many casualties and was taken alive by the enemy and should be beheaded. Li redeemed the death penalty with money and goods and dismissed everyone.
In a blink of an eye, Li Guang has lived in seclusion at home for several years. Li He's grandson lives in seclusion in Lantian and often goes hunting in Nanshan. One night I went out with a rider and drank with others in the field. When I came back, I went to Baling Pavilion. The commander of Baling was drunk and shouted at him, forbidding Li Guang to pass. Li Guang's entourage said, "This is the former general Li." Ting Wei said, "The current general can't pass, let alone his predecessor!" He detained Li Guang and told him to stay under the Baling Pavilion. Soon, the Huns invaded, killed the western Liaoning satrap, defeated General Han (), and General Han moved to Beiping. So the son of heaven called Li Guang the right satrap of Peiping. Li Guang immediately asked Pakistan to be sent together, and Pakistan was killed in the army.
Li Guang is stationed in Youbeiping. When the Huns heard about it, they called him "the flying general of the Han Dynasty". They hid from him for several years and dared not invade right Peiping.
Li Guang went out hunting and saw a stone in the grass. He thought it was a tiger, so he shot it. He hit the stone and all the arrows went in. When he saw it, it turned out to be a stone. Then shoot again, and never shoot into a stone again. Li Guang has been stationed in various counties, and when he heard about tigers, he often made moves himself. When he was stationed in Beiping, he killed a tiger, and the tiger jumped up and injured Li Guang. Li Guang finally shot the tiger.
Li Guang is an honest official. When he got the reward, he gave it to his subordinates. He always eats and drinks with soldiers. Li Guang lived to be an official for more than 40 years with a salary of 2,000 stone. There is no extra property at home, and he never talks about family property. Li Guang is a tall man with two arms like apes. He is good at archery, which is also a gift. Even if his descendants or outsiders learn from him, no one can catch up with him. Li Guang's language is slow and he doesn't talk much. When he was with others, he drew an army array on the ground. Then, compared with archery, he decided who should be punished for drinking according to whether to draw a tight line or a wide line. He used archery as a pastime until his death. When Li Guang led his troops, he met food and water, and when he saw water, Li Guang wouldn't go near the water until the soldiers drank it completely. The soldiers haven't completely finished their meal, and Li Guang hasn't tasted a bite. Li Guang is generous and gentle to the soldiers, so the soldiers love him and are willing to use him. Li Guang's archery method is to see the enemy approaching. If it is not within dozens of steps, it is estimated that he will not shoot. As soon as the gun was fired, the enemy immediately fell to the ground with the sound of bowstring. Therefore, he led the troops to be trapped and humiliated several times, and the shooting animals were also injured by animals.
Soon, Shi Jian died, so the emperor summoned Li Guang to be a doctor instead of Shi Jian. In the sixth year of Yuan Shuo (before 123), Li Guang was appointed as the post-general, and left Dingxiang with the army of General Wei Qing to conquer the Xiongnu. Many generals were awarded the title of meritorious military service for beheading the enemy's head according to the prescribed amount, but Li Guang's army did not. Two years later, Li Guang led 4,000 cavalry from Peiping, and Bo Wanghou Zhang Qian (qiān, 1000) led 10,000 cavalry to Li Guang, which was divided into two ways. Marching for hundreds of miles, Xiongnu Zuo led 40,000 cavalry to surround Li Guang. The soldiers in Li Guang were very afraid, so Li Guang sent his son Li Gan to ride to the Xiongnu army. Li Gan with dozens of cavalry solo, straight through the tarquin array, protruding from the left and right wings. After returning, he reported to Li Guang: "Xiongnu enemy soldiers are easy to deal with!" The soldiers are relaxed. Li Guang cloth into a circular array, facing outward, the huns stormed, arrows rain like rain. More than half of the Han soldiers died, and the arrows were almost used up. Li Guang ordered the soldiers to bow and not shoot arrows, while Li Guang personally shot the Xiongnu lieutenant with a rhubarb crossbow, killing several people, and the Xiongnu army gradually dispersed. At this time, it's getting late and all the officers and men are pale, but Li Guang looks natural and pays more attention to rectifying the army. From then on, the army admired his bravery. The next day, I went to fight hard again, and the army of Bo Wanghou also arrived, and the Xiongnu army was cleared and retreated. The Han army was too tired to pursue. At that time, Li Guangjun was almost completely annihilated, so we had to retreat to North Korea. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the prince of Bo marched slowly and delayed the deadline. He should be put to death, atoned for with money and reduced to civilians. Li Guang's merits and demerits offset each other, so he won't lift it.
At first, Li Guang's cousin Cai Li and Li Guang worked together for Wendi. By the time he arrived at Jingdi, Cai Li had accumulated credit with an annual salary of 2,000 stone. When Liang Wudi was emperor, he was the national character of the country. In the fifth year of Yuan Shuo (124), he was a general without pomp. Following General Wei Qing's attack on Huns' right Wang Xian, he achieved the requirement of beheading the enemy. He was named Hou Lean. In the second year of Yuanshou (formerly 12 1), he became prime minister on behalf of Gongsun Hong. Cai Li's talent is inferior to that of Li Guang, and his reputation is far inferior to that of Li Guang. But Li Guang can't get the title and fief, and his official position is nothing more than Jiuqing. However, Cai Li was appointed as a Liehou, and his official position reached three. Li Guang's officers and men, some people got the marquis's title. Li Guang once had a private chat with astrologer Wang Shuo, saying, "Since the Han Dynasty attacked the Huns, I have never been absent. However, the talents of officers below the captain in all units are not as good as those of middle-level officers. However, dozens of people were entrusted with the heavy responsibility for attacking Xiongnu. I am no worse than others in Li Guang, but I didn't get any credit for the fief. What is the reason? Isn't it my bone appearance that shouldn't be sealed? Or should it be? " Wang Shuo said, "General, think for yourself. Is there anything to regret? " Li Guang said, "I used to be the prefect of Longxi, and the Qiang people rebelled once. I tricked them into surrendering, and more than 800 people surrendered. I killed them all on the same day by fraud. Until today, my biggest regret is only this matter. " Wang Shuo said: "Nothing is more catastrophic than killing people who surrender, which is why the general can't be named."
Two years later, Wei Qing, the general, and Huo Qubing, the general of a title of generals in ancient times, led a large-scale expedition to Xiongnu, and Li Guang personally requested to accompany him several times. The son of heaven thought he was old and disagreed; It took a long time to let him go and make him the current general. This year is the fourth year of Yuanshou (formerly 1 19).
Li Guang soon went to Xiongnu with General Wei Qing. Out of the frontier fortress, Wei Qing caught the enemy soldiers and knew where Khan lived. He led his own elite soldiers to pursue Khan, and ordered Li Guang and General Right to camp out and attack from the East Road. The east road is a little circuitous, and the army is in a place with few aquatic plants, so it is inevitable that it cannot be parallel. Li Guang personally requested: "My position is a former general, and now the general has ordered me to send troops from the East Road. Besides, I've been beating Xiongnu since I was a teenager, and today I have a chance to fight Khan. I am willing to be a striker and fight Khan first. " General Wei Qing was secretly warned by the emperor that Li Guang was old and ill-fated. Don't let him fight Khan, because I'm afraid he won't realize his wish to catch Khan. At that time, Gongsun 'ao had just lost the marquis and served as a general, and went out with the general. The general also wanted Gong Sun Ao to fight Khan with himself, and deliberately drove the former general Li Guang away. Li Guang also knew the inside story at that time, so he insisted that the general withdraw the transfer order. The general refused to agree to his request, ordered Changshi to write a document and send it to the Li Guang shogunate, and said to him, "Go to the right general's army and do as written in the document." Li Guang set off without saying goodbye to the general and went to the army angrily. He led the troops to join forces with Right General (Yi, Yi) and his (J: Ji) and set out from East Road. Without a guide, the army sometimes gets lost and falls behind the general. The general engaged Khan, and Khan escaped. Wei Qing failed and had to return to the army. The general crossed the desert south and met the former general and the right general. Li Guang returned to his army after meeting the general. The general sent a long history to Li Guang with dry food and wine, and asked Li Guang and Zhao about the lost way. Wei Qing will write to the son of heaven and report the detailed military situation. Li Guang didn't answer. The general sent a long history to urgently order Li Guang shogunate personnel to go to trial and confront. Li Guang said, "The commander is innocent, but I lost my way. I am going to the shogunate for trial and confrontation. "
Arriving at the general's shogunate, Li Guang said to his men, "I have fought more than 70 battles with the Huns since I was a teenager. Now I am fortunate to go out with the general to fight Khan's army, but the general diverted his troops and got lost. Isn't it providence? Besides, I am over 60 years old. After all, I can't be insulted by those knife and pencil collectors. " So he drew his sword and cut himself. All the soldiers in Li Guang's army wept for it. When people heard the news, whether they knew it or not, old and young, they all cried for Li Guang. General Zhao and General You, handed over to law enforcement personnel alone, should be sentenced to death, atoned for with property and reduced to civilians.
Li Guangyou has three sons, named Danghu, Jiao and Dare, all of whom are Langguan. Once, the son of heaven played with Han Yan, a clown, and Han Yan acted a little presumptuous. Li Danghu went to fight Han Yan, and Han Yan escaped, so the son of heaven thought Danghu was brave. Family members died young, Li Jiao was the satrap, and both of them died before Li Guang. At that time, there was a posthumous child named Li Ling. When Li Guang died in battle, Li Gan was following General Huo Qubing. In the second year after Li Guang's death, Cai Li, as the prime minister, invaded the vacant land on both sides of the front avenue of Jingdi Cemetery, and was found guilty, so he was sent to the Faku for investigation. Cai Li didn't want to be tried and confronted, so he committed suicide and his country was abolished. Li Gan attacked Xiongnu Zuo with the rank of captain, fought bravely, won the drum and flag of Zuo, and killed many enemy leaders. As a result, he was named Hou in Shanhaiguan and was given 200 food cities to replace Li as a doctor. Soon, Li dared to resent General Wei Qing for killing his father, so he hurt the General, who kept the secret. Before long, Li dared to go to Yongxian with the emperor and hunt in Ganquan Palace. Huo Qubing, an ancient general, was related to Wei Qing, so he shot Li Gan. Huo Qubing was a powerful man at that time, so he was loved, so the emperor concealed the truth and said that Li Gan was killed by a deer. More than a year later, Huo Qubing died. Li Gan has a daughter, the prince's concubine, who is very favored. Li Gan's son, Li Yu, was also favored by the prince, but he was greedy for money and profit, and the Li family was declining.
When Li Ling was in his prime, he was elected as the supervisor of Zhang Jianying, in charge of cavalry. He is good at archery and loves soldiers. The son of heaven thought that the Li family was a general from generation to generation, so he asked Li Ling to lead 800 cavalry. Li Ling once went deep into the Xiongnu territory for more than 2,000 miles, crossed the Juyan Sea, observed the terrain, and came back without encountering the enemy. Later, he was made a captain on horseback, commanding 5,000 Chu soldiers in Danyang. He directed archery in Jiuquan and Zhangye, and was stationed there to guard against Xiongnu.
A few years later, in the autumn of the second year of Tianhan (the first 99 years), General Li Guangli of the Second Division led 30,000 cavalry to attack Xiongnu Right Wang Xian in Qilian Mountain, and Emperor Wu sent Li Ling to send his 5,000 infantry archers to a place about 1,000 miles north of Juyanhai, trying to disperse the enemy in this way and not let them deal with the General of the Second Division alone. Li Ling will return to the army within the scheduled time limit, but Khan surrounded the army that intercepted Li Ling with 80 thousand troops. There are only 5,000 troops in Liling, and all the arrows are gone. Most of the soldiers died, but they also killed more than ten thousand Huns. Li Lingjun played while retreating, playing for eight days in a row. He walked back to the place more than one hundred miles away from Juyanhai. Xiongnu soldiers blocked the narrow valley and cut off their way home. Li Ling's army was short of food and no reinforcements arrived. The enemy stepped up their attack and induced Li Ling to surrender. Li Ling said, "I have no face to repay the emperor!" "So he surrendered to the huns. His army was wiped out, and only 400 people fled back to the Han Dynasty.
After Khan got Li Ling, he always heard about the reputation of Li Ling's family and was brave and good at fighting, so he married his daughter to Li Ling and became famous in one fell swoop. After the Han Dynasty knew it, it killed Li Ling's mother, wife and children. Since then, the reputation of the Li family has declined, and people in Longxi area are guests of the Li family, which is a shame.
Tai Shigong said: "The Analects of Confucius said:" People with higher status behave correctly and can do things without giving orders; His own behavior is incorrect, and no one listens to orders. "This is the meaning of general lee! The general Li I saw was honest and honest like a countryman, and he couldn't talk well, but on the day he died, everyone mourned for him, whether they knew him or not. His loyal character really won the trust of the soldiers! As the saying goes, "Peach and plum trees can't talk, but they are naturally trampled out under the trees. "Although this is a small matter, it can be used as a metaphor for truth.
