Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal.

The story of an old man in Fengtang: As early as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he became a Langguan. However, because his personality is too honest and frank, and his speech is relatively straightforward, he has never been promoted. Once Emperor Wendi went to Langguan to "mourn". Because Lang Guan is younger, only Feng Tang is "wrinkled".

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty came to Feng Tang to offer his condolences. When learning that Feng Tang's hometown was Dai Jun, Wendi seemed much gentler. Because before Emperor Wen ascended the throne, his father Liu Bang gave him the fief of Dai Jun, which was considered as "half a fellow villager".

Wendi asked Feng Tang: When I was in Dai Jun, people around me kept telling me that Li Qi in your hometown was very strong and never lost a battle. Have you ever heard of him? Feng Tang casually said, is he awesome? He lags far behind Li Mu and Lian Po. We Feng and Li are family friends, so I know very well.

Although Emperor Wendi was unhappy, he still said: If only there were such handsome talents as Li Mu and Lian Po, why should he be afraid of being harassed by Xiongnu? Feng Tang's honest and frank personality came out and said, "I'm worried that even if you have these talents, you may not be able to use them." . Hearing this sentence, Wendi left. Originally, I thought you were very talented and wanted to promote your "half-fellow". Who knew you were a thorn in my side to "kill" me in public?

Fortunately, Wendi was a kind emperor. Not long after this incident, Wendi summoned Feng Tang again and asked him why he said I couldn't make good use of "Shuai Cai". Feng Tang replied: The ancient emperors asked the generals to lead the troops to fight, and they would "worship the generals" before going out.

Even before departure, he will hold the general's chariot and tell him that in this case, the general will decide all foreign operations and gain exclusive rights. Exercise rights on behalf of the emperor. Therefore, Qi Xin, the monarch and the minister are invincible. It is said that Shang Wei, the chief of the cloud, managed the cloud very well, and was able to use the military and civilians flexibly to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, so that the Xiongnu dared not attack the cloud head-on, but was dismissed for a small mistake. That's why I said your majesty can't use people. Please forgive me.

Emperor Wen of Han made sense, so he asked Feng Tang to hold a sacrifice to restore Shang Wei's status, and therefore added Feng Tang as the commander-in-chief of chariots and horses. However, when Emperor Han Jingdi arrived, Feng Tang was dismissed for some reason, probably because he had a "bad temper".

In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he appreciated Feng Tang's talent very much, so he sent someone to call Feng Tang into the palace to be an official. But by that time, Feng Tang was 90 years old, and he had no energy to serve his country ... This is the story of Feng Tang's easy aging.

Li Guang's Unfavorable Allusions: When Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty faced the Huns' attack, Li Guang showed his bravery and was awarded the rank of Langguan. Wendi praised him and said that you were born in the wrong era. If you were in the era of Emperor Gaozu, you would certainly be able to seal a Wan Huhou.

Later, in the era of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Li Guang and Qiu Zhou Yafu put down the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" and made great contributions. But because he didn't understand the current situation, he privately accepted the "general print" awarded by Liu Wu, the king of Liang. Because of Han Jing's dissatisfaction, Li Guang was not approved.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although Li Guang made many contributions to the Xiongnu, his merits and demerits were always "balanced" in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When fighting, you take the lead and be brave. Every time the war comes down, "you hurt the enemy by one thousand, and you lose by eight hundred." In the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is "mindless combat". What's more, in the battle with Xiongnu, once the whole army was wiped out and he was captured alive. Only by relying on its own advantages can we get out.

This is the great sin of the general, and finally he spent money to atone, cut his official position and stayed at home. Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that Li Guang was "hardworking" and eager to make meritorious deeds, and gave him a chance. Let Li Guang as a former general, together with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, crusade against Xiongnu Khan. Wei Qing ordered Li Guangbu to intercept on East Road. Unfortunately, Li Guang lost his way without a guide, missed the best opportunity to break Huns Khan, and finally lamented his life.

Many people who followed them were blocked, and even their youngest son, Li Gan, was named the Hou of Shanhaiguan. And I have been working all my life, but not a day has been blocked. Then he committed suicide in shame ... this is Li Guang's hard story.
