"Ancient Cases and Readings" - 262.Li Guang committed suicide

As we mentioned above, Li Guang was sentenced to death because he was captured by the Xiongnu and then fled back to the Han Dynasty, and Li Guang was able to pay a ransom to avoid death.

After a few years, General Li Guang was again appointed to lead the troops to follow General Wei Qing in the fight against the Xiongnu.

In 119 BC, the general Wei Qing and the hussar general Huo Went ill and wanted to lead troops to attack the Xiongnu. Li Guang asked Emperor Wu of Han several times to follow him into battle, but Emperor Wu of Han believed that Li Guang was old and did not allow it.

However, General Li Guang devoted his life to fighting the Xiongnu, and it was General Li Guang's only dream to be crowned marquis by virtue of his military achievements. Now, he was already a 60-year-old man and had a martial art, and if he could not participate in this battle against the Xiongnu, then Li Guang would no longer have any hope of being a marquis.

Therefore, General Li Guang again strongly demanded to fight against the Xiongnu, and Emperor Wu of Han had no choice but to finally agree and appointed Li Guang as a former general.

Agreed was agreed, but Emperor Wu of Han privately said to Wei Qing, the commander-in-chief of this attack on the Xiongnu: "Although I agreed to general Li Guang's request, I found someone to calculate Li Guang's fate, his fate is not good, I am afraid that using him will cause problems and be unlucky, so you should not reuse him." ”

Wei Qing led Li Guang and other generals to set off, and as soon as they left the border plug, they captured a Xiongnu captive and knew the location of the Xiongnu Shan Yu. Wei Qing personally led the elite troops directly towards the xiongnu Shan Yu's position, and merged the troops of the former general Li Guang into the Right Route Army, setting out from the east side to make a roundabout response. This arrangement is equivalent to the fact that there is nothing for Li Guang on the main battlefield, and there will be no li Guang's share of the merits in the future.

Li Guang was very unhappy, so he asked Wei Qing: "Great General, I have some opinions on your marching arrangements. I was originally appointed as a former general and was supposed to go to the front, but I arranged for my department to respond from the host. Moreover, I have fought against the Huns from my youth until now, which is also my long-cherished wish in my life, and now please let me serve as a forward and fight the Huns to the death. ”

Wei Qing did not agree to Li Guang's request. At that time, the general Gongsun Ao had just been dismissed as a marquis because of the defeat in battle, and now he was serving as a lieutenant general to follow the general Wei Qing, and Gongsun Ao had saved Wei Qing's life, and Wei Qing intended to let Gongsun Ao follow him to attack the Xiongnu, which was the opportunity to give Gongsun Ao a meritorious service.

When Li Guang learned of these circumstances, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he went to Wei Qing again to reflect, hoping that Wei Qing would take back his life. Wei Qing did not agree, so he sent the commander of the army, Shi Shi, to order Li Guang to join the right general Zhao Shiqi. Li Guang, angered and did not report to Wei Qing, led his own team to join the Right General's headquarters.

Can you go on the road with anger? As a result, the team was diverted, lost, and left behind the great general Wei Qing. When the general Wei Qing led his troops to the vicinity of the Xiongnu Shan Yu's garrison, the Xiongnu Shan Yu had already fled, and the purpose of annihilating the Xiongnu was not realized, so Wei Qing had to return with his troops.

On the way back, this was only then that li Guang's troops were encountered. Wei Qing arranged for someone to send dry food and wine to Li Guang's troops, and at the same time asked Li Guang about their lost road.

In fact, Wei Qing did this very correctly, did not blame Li Guang and other generals, and also sent dry food and wine to comfort him. However, in the whole situation of the battle against the Xiongnu, Wei Qing needed to give a report to Emperor Wu of Han, and Changshi eagerly asked Li Guang's shogunate personnel to come and interrogate Li Guang's troops about the lost road.

At this time, Li Guang was on fire. Li Guang said: "My subordinate lieutenants are not wrong, it is I who have lost the road. I personally went to explain to the General! This shows Li Guang's responsibility, in fact, Li Guang has really been very good to his subordinates in history.

Li Guang went to the shogun's shogunate to explain and returned to his tent. Li Guang talked to his subordinates about his interrogation in the shogunate of the great general, and said with emotion: "I have fought against the Xiongnu for more than seventy battles since I was a teenager, and now I have the honor of following the great general on a campaign to attack the Xiongnu Shan Yu, but the great general has sent me to take a winding and detouring east road, and I am lost, is this not providence!" Now that I am in my 60s, I can no longer be insulted by those knife and pen officials. So he drew his sword and killed himself.

All the generals in Li Guang's army wept bitterly over it. When the people heard this news, no matter what they knew, no matter how young or old they were, they all wept for Li Guang. The Right General Zhao Shiqi was handed over to a law enforcement officer alone and sentenced to death, atonement for his crimes with property, and demoted to civilians.

[Original] From the "Chronicle of General Li Lie": military death guide, or lost way, after the general. The great general engaged Shan Yu, Shan Yu fled, and Fu could get back. The southern curtain is over, and the former general and the right general are encountered. Guang has seen the great general and has also joined the army. The great general made Chang Shi hold the relics of The Great General, and because of the questioning and eating of his loss of morality, Qing wanted to write to report the twists and turns of the Tianzi Army. When Guang was not right, the Great General made Nagashi urgently rebuke the shogunate of Guangzhi. Guang Yue: "The lieutenants are not guilty, but I have lost my way." I'm in the book. To Mo Province, Guangzhi said that his subordinates said: "Guangjiefa fought with the Xiongnu for more than seventy years, and now he was fortunate to receive orders from the great general to the soldiers, and the great general moved back to Guangbu and lost his way, is it not heavenly!" And for more than sixty years, he could not return to the official of the sword and pen. So he stabbed himself. The Guangjun Sergeant Major was crying. The people smell it, know it or not, and no old or strong people are drooling. And the right general is a single official, when he dies, redeems himself as a commoner.

Li Guang killed himself like this. Li Guang's life was quite tragic, and many people who were inferior to him were knighted, but he was not knighted in his life, so there was an allusion in the world that "Li Guang was difficult to seal". After reading Li Guang's history, if you are not in the system, if you have not encountered the encounter of having ambitions in your heart, boasting of your talents, and being squeezed out and snubbed, you will not understand the poignancy of "Li Guang is difficult to seal".

Li Guang wanted to be crowned marquis too much because of his military achievements, and he wanted to do so too much. Therefore, he only went to beg Emperor Wu of Han several times to let him go to the current general and lead his troops to fight against the Xiongnu. Although Emperor Wudi of Han was forced by Li Guang's request to appoint him as a former general, when it was crucial to use it, Emperor Wudi of Han still told Wei Qing not to let him do the affairs of the former general, who was just a false name and a stopgap measure.

Emperor Wu of Han did not reuse Li Guang, and the great general Wei Qing could only act according to emperor Wu of Han's will, nor could he reuse Li Guang. No matter how Li Guang argued and behaved, he squeezed Out Li Guang in the assignment of tasks. At this time, what could save Li Guang was that heaven gave him a chance to suddenly make a meritorious contribution. Man, when the times are not good, can only wait.

Why did Li Guang commit suicide? Because after communicating with The Great Shogun Changshi and others in the shogunate, he found that the matter of them giving Li Guang a lost path had been determined, that is, he had violated the military law and was sentenced to death. Li Guang was very wronged, but he could not explain the injustice clearly, and could not obtain the understanding of Chang Shi and others. Usually, if you don't have a good relationship and commit a crime, you will definitely deduct the legal provisions to kill Li Guang. This was Li Guang's sadness, he did not handle the relationship with the great general Wei Qing and his shogunate personnel, and could only let these people talk about the provisions of the law. Li Guang was an ambitious general who could not bear the insults of these harsh people, so he could only choose to commit suicide and leave some human dignity for himself.

Li Guang wanted to get the Marquis, he wanted to get it too much, so he was working hard to wronged himself for this goal, he was already more than 60 years old, and he still had to suffer in the wind and food, and he also had to take risks in a decisive battle, and he also begged to suffer from other people's nests, Li Guang was really humiliating himself. In fact, Li Guang should have retired a long time ago, and he did not want to understand, where is the matter of sealing the marquis linked to the battle achievements? It was linked to Emperor Wu of Han. Moreover, Li Guang was already a general, and he was more than inferior than the bottom, so wouldn't it be better to go back home and tease Sun?

The swords and pen officials that Li Guang faced were quite harsh and could not be accommodated. The law itself is human, and these swordsmen can find suitable provisions according to their own intentions. The harsh rebuke of these law enforcers is actually the sadness of the law. Sometimes, they will also deal with a person and then find a way to make a new provision, or deliberately find a far-fetched provision to enforce the law. Why are these harsh knife and pen officials like this? The core problems are either required by the leaders above, or their own selfish interests are not satisfied, and only harshness can show their role and value. In the eyes of the harsh people, their harsh answers are in their mouths, and we are performing our duties. Their duties are sacrosanct. They never take the initiative to consider the suffering of others, but take pleasure in making it difficult for others.
