Li Guang, who was called a brave general in Qin and Han Dynasties, had any achievements in his life and how did he die?

China's early war was a multipolar era. From the beginning of the Three Dynasties to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the difference between brave war and seeking war was divided. Today, we still miss the scene of Xiang Yu single-handedly fighting against the army of ten thousand people in the late Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty. After Xiangzi's decline, the whole Han empire was dominated by war. Since Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, a military force dominated by Li started to rise in Longxi. Li Xin, a famous Qin Dynasty soldier, was famous for his bravery among the governors. He was known as the flying general between Han and Hungary, and all the people in six counties were proud of flying general, but I don't know whether it was strange or Li Guang's pride. Not only did he fail to be a marquis all his life, but he finally repeated Xiang Yu's tragedy in the most tragic way.

The migration of Li Guang family is the performance of the revival of military power in the Han Dynasty, and Li Xin, the ancestor of Li Guang.

The Li Guang family used to live in Li Huai, but later they moved to Ji Cheng. Although this is a small move, it has always been a cultural tradition for China people to move. As long as life can go on, who wants to move out of their homeland? The Li family moved from Li Huai to Ji Cheng. We can regard him as a move by the Han Empire to restart martial arts, and the madness of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty led to the migration of noble families in the Qin Dynasty.

There is no doubt that Li Guang's ancestor was Li Xin, but Li Xin began to sink after the Chu-Wu War. In the troubled times at the end of the Qin dynasty, the once famous Qin family disappeared as stealthily. Li Guang's ancestors lived in seclusion in the Huaihe River valley at that time, but with the end of the Chu-Han War, the Han empire also entered a stage of prosperity and development, and Li Guang was born at that time. He was born in the era of Emperor Wendi, less than ten years after the end of Emperor Gaozu's martial arts.

Archery handed down from ancient times made Li Guang last forever in that troubled times. By the time Emperor Wendi arrived, the Han court had formulated a standardized conscription and service law, and those who fought against the Huns on the battlefield must have qualified family conditions. This is actually a manifestation of the military revitalization in the Han Dynasty. In the past, when Emperor Gaozu was in the Han Dynasty, it was only necessary to recruit one person to fight. Now the ordinary people have been directly promoted to the level of well-bred, which means that the Han Empire began to train specialized arms, and Li Guang was among them. However, Li, who had been silent for 50 years since Li Xin in the late Qin Dynasty, began to rise again, and this rise was accompanied by the revival of military power in the Han Dynasty.

Behind Li Guang's strange fate is the helplessness of the brave general Li Guang on the battlefield

The reward of sealing Hou is probably the highest affirmation of the Han dynasty court to those who fought in the battlefield! But it is this kind of reward that many people can easily get, but it has been hard to find in Li Guang's life. A well-off family was sent to the battlefield by the imperial court, and Li Guang became a professional soldier. His marksmanship and bravery quickly made him a general on the northern border of the Han Dynasty. Even Emperor Wendi praised Li Guang's courage as Wan Huhou.

Li Guang was a famous man in the Wenjing era, and he was active in the whole northern Xinjiang all his life. At the same time, excellent soldiers are also willing to follow General Li in the battlefield. Some of the troops are veterans over 500 years old and some are recruits. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are willing to entrust their lives to Li Guang. There is no affection on the battlefield, and there is no distance in the military camp. But the soldiers Li Guang brought out were like his own brothers. In the dangerous grassland fortress, Li Guang can easily station troops. He respects the habits of all kinds of soldiers and is not deliberately bound by documents and laws, which actually violates the laws of the Han army in some cases, because such indulgence of soldiers often leads to great defeat. Just like the attack in the impression, the soldiers were lawless and attacked by the enemy.

Han army led by Li Guang.

What Li Guang did was more like an ancient ranger. His constraint on thousands or even tens of thousands of troops is just to let them ride dozens of miles away. If the enemy attacks, his soldiers can assemble quickly and prepare for battle. This alone surpassed many generals in the Han dynasty, because the soldiers in the same period were also bound by various rules. Because Li Guang was bold and unrestrained, the whole Han people were willing to serve as soldiers under Li Guang, not only happy, but also able to win the battle. Moreover, Li Guang has always been the wind of ancient famous soldiers. He always rewarded the following soldiers according to the size of the credit after victory, which also made the soldiers willing to work for him. The reputation of the entire Li family also spread from six wild counties to kanto region.

However, Li Guang, who was active in the whole Wenjing period, failed to seal Hou, which was recognized by the Han court. Everyone admires his unparalleled talent and regrets that he failed to be named Hou. The experience gained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is very strange. In the current words, it is bad luck, and it is really bad luck. Li Guang was sealed many times in his life. The first time was during the rebellion. Li Guang didn't understand the relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the vassals. However, the title was granted privately, thus losing the opportunity to be named Hou. The last time was in the battle of Mobei. Because of Wei Qing's deliberate mischief, Li Guang fell into a crisis of disorientation. Wei Qing put it mildly in order to protect the fruits of the victory of the Han War and avoid the influence of Li Guangqi's disaster. But in fact, it's just that Wei Qing has found a place for his friend Gongsun Aomou. He really thinks that one person can block the world. He really thought that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his blood relatives could do whatever they wanted. Fortunately, Sima Qian's pen of history is ruthless, and everything is recorded by facts.

The victory of the Han Dynasty and Li Guang's suicide were the tragic deaths of Li Guang, a noble family in six counties.

Li Guang finally died in the pursuit of the title of Marquis. When he was half buried, he followed Wei Qing's expedition to Mobei, but what he got was the pain of losing his way. Although there are personal mistakes of Li Guang, who can say that there is no selfishness of Wei Qing? He really thinks that the national war is a tool for him to find a position for his cronies. The ancients said that virtue is not worthy, but it will last for a long time. Gongsun Ao is superior to Li Guang in title, but he is not remembered by future generations. So what? According to the legal system of the Han Dynasty, misconduct is the cause of picketing, and the highest punishment will be death. Li Guang's poverty can't be redeemed by money, and it's hard for Li Guang, who is in his sixties, to accept it. Just like the frequency that is troubled by the pen and knife collectors, Li Guang can't stand this timidity.

Li Guang, who knows the death penalty, can't stand the difficulties of pen and ink collectors after all. He went to his military camp and concluded that he joined the army when he got married. At that time, Emperor Xiaowen ruled the world. He said that he had been fighting the Huns all his life, 60 wars, big and small. According to the accumulation of military achievements, in fact, Li Guang at that time could have sealed Hou long ago. Unfortunately, he did not seal Hou's life. He took the responsibility for the army's deviance and committed suicide. Three simple words ended Li Guang's life. At that time, everyone in the barracks cried into tears. Perhaps it was at the last moment before Li Guang committed suicide. When he was young, he was brave enough to shoot tigers. He was the pioneer of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms during Emperor Xiaojing's reign, and was the world's evaluation of his unparalleled talent. But when he arrived at Emperor Xiaowu, he was finally killed.

After all, the highest affirmation of the reputation of military commanders in Qin and Han Dynasties belongs to Li Guang. When the news of his suicide spread from the desert south grassland to Guanzhong and Longxi, both the young and middle-aged villains on the street and the old, weak and disabled soldiers who came home from the army cried. Sima Qian witnessed this tragedy at that time. In his works, all ages cried. They not only wept for the miserable life of flying general Li Guang. It is also the tragic history of their six counties in Guanzhong who served in the army for generations, but finally died in the battlefield. This is a foregone conclusion in Qin and Han dynasties for hundreds of years. Even if Han Xing was destroyed by Qin, it would not change the fate of Guanzhong children. Li Guang died, the family of men inherited from the Qin Dynasty did not belong to this era after all, and the brave generals did not belong to this era after all. The latter will shine brilliantly in the next few decades, but they really dare to put Guang in the grave and make contributions to them.
