Li Ling was a famous general during the Han Wudi period, born in the Li family, was the grandson of the Fei general Li Guang, and later Li Ling defeated the Xiongnu with 5,000 infantry and 80,000 elite horses, and had no choice but to "surrender" to the Xiongnu, becoming a famous "rebel" in Chinese history! Despite this, he still gained unprecedented sympathy, and Sima Qian, in order to help Li Ling justify his palace punishment, worked hard to create the first general history of Ji Chuan in Chinese history!
As a famous military general, Li Ling was beyond doubt, and resisting the Xiongnu for more than ten days without retreat and reinforcements was already a miracle for the situation at that time! Helplessly, being captured and surrendering was only a stopgap measure, and his generals constantly persuaded him that after the surrender, he still had the opportunity to return to the dprk and continue to be loyal to the emperor, so he led his troops to surrender! However, the Xiongnu spread rumors that Li Ling took the initiative to surrender and helped the Xiongnu train an army! This reached the ears of Emperor Wu of Han, making him very annoyed in his heart, so he killed all of Li Ling's family! This act of exterminating the door can be described as solving a "trouble in the heart" of Emperor Wu of Han!
In fact, there is an original sin on Li Ling's body, that is, his grandfather Fei General Li Guang! At the time of the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Li Guang showed bravery in the defense of the Liang King, and was awarded the rank of general Li Guang by the Liang King, but Li Guang did not know whether this was privately granted or accepted as a general of the Han Dynasty to accept the military position of the vassal state, if so it would be an act of trespassing! What's more, Emperor Jing of Han once wanted to pass the throne to the King of Liang, which made Emperor Wu of Han feel that the Li family always had a ghost fetus for him! Therefore, Li Ling's surrender was only a fuse, and it was sooner or later that Emperor Wu of the Li family was killed, and it was also blamed that Li Guang inexplicably accepted this title, which caused the disaster of killing himself!
For Li Ling, he caught up with the good time when Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Xiongnu, and he was able to make meritorious achievements. But he should not be a descendant of the Lee family. Perhaps Emperor Wudi of Han would not admit that Li Ling's final death was only a means of playing by himself, in order to prove that Li Ling was not loyal, if he died on the battlefield, it would mean that Li Ling was loyal, if there may be a little abnormal behavior in surrendering to the enemy, then the entire Li family will become a victim of Emperor Wudi of Han to consolidate the dignity of the emperor! It can be seen that Li Ling's life is destined, and there may be such a disaster waiting for him in the darkness!
