In the presence of Emperor Wu of Han, a generation of famous generals Huo Went ill, why did he dare to shoot Li Guang's son Li Gan?
Wei Qing and Huo Quyi were the most outstanding military generals of the Han Dynasty, and it was precisely because of their existence that the Han Wu Xiongfeng could be recited to this day. Wei Qing and Huo Fu were distinguished in their meritorious service, but the personalities of these two were very different. Wei Qing has a stable personality, marches and fights steadily, and treats his subordinates with courtesy, it can be said that Wei Qing is still relatively generous.
Huo Wentai was Wei Qing's nephew, and because of the relationship between foreign relatives, Huo Went sick could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Huo Went ill young and vigorous, marching and fighting not according to common sense, relying on extremely high military talent, he achieved extremely high military merit, was named a champion hou, and built an altar on Wolf Juxu Mountain to sacrifice the heavens, achieving a good story throughout the ages.
Historical records:
"His service in the army, shang sent dozens of horses to send taiguan, not only returned, heavy trucks left the meat of sorghum, and the soldiers had hungry people." It is outside the plug, the pawn lacks food, or can not vibrate itself, and goes sick and wears the domain to bow also. ”
With strong military merit, although Huo's illness is not arbitrary, no one in the military dares to provoke. Huo went to the sick to lead the soldiers very strong, but the soldiers are very general, every time Huo went to the sick to lead the soldiers out on the expedition, they brought a lot of delicious food, and even if huo went to the sick, he did not give the soldiers to eat, and the soldiers were often hungry.
After Li Guang's death, Li Darede believed that Wei Qing had killed his father, so Li dared to injure Wei Qing. Huo Went sick is Wei Qing's nephew, seeing that his uncle was wronged, Huo went to the disease of course not to do it, in a hunting process, Huo went to the disease directly shot Li Gan with an arrow.
Below, we will analyze and analyze the causes and consequences of this matter:
Death of Li Guang:
The reason why Li Guang has been unable to be crowned marquis and has also ended up killing himself has a lot to do with his personality. Including li gan and Li Ling later, they all inherited his fiery temper, their ability was very strong, but the result was very miserable.
In 119 BC, Emperor Wu of Han sent Wei Qing and Huo to send troops to the Xiongnu, when Li Guang was old, Emperor Wu of Han did not want to send him on the expedition, and under Li Guang's bitter pleading, the emperor agreed to let him play a "rear guard".
It turned out that Li Guang had always been a forward, and this time Li Guang was asked to fight the reserve, and Li Guang was indignant in his heart, but he had no choice but to send out the army with resentment. The depressed Li Guang encountered something even more depressing, and for some reason, Li Guang's army lacked a guide, and in the vast desert, it was an extremely dangerous thing to have no guide.
Wei Qing fought with the Xiongnu and did not capture Shan Yu, and Ban Shi returned to the dynasty, but Li Guang disappeared and spent a lot of effort to find Li Guang again. This time Li Guang was like a deflated ball, he went to Wei Qing's tent to take the guilt, and alone to bear all the guilt alone, Li Guang, who was in his sixties, did not want to face the punishment anymore and directly killed himself with a knife.
Perhaps Wei Qing had questioned the reason for Li Guang's loss, but this incident should have nothing to do with Wei Qing, and judging from Wei Qing's past personality and performance, Wei Qing would not be difficult to be a veteran general who had been in the battlefield for a long time. However, in any case, Li Guang committed suicide in the Wei Qingjun tent, and the question of the guide cannot be explained to this day.
Therefore, Li Guang's son Li Gan blamed Wei Qing's death on Wei Qing.
Li dares to avenge his father:
Li Dang was also a fierce general in the army, and when Li Guang died, Li Dang was still serving in Huo's sick army. Li Dang, as a lieutenant colonel, accompanied the general Zuo Xian to attack the Xiongnu Zuo Xian King, killed many enemies, and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei and succeeded Li Guang's Lang Zhong. The rise of Li Gan also saved some face of the Li family, but soon after Li Gan had an accident.
"He who resents the great general Qingzhi hates his father, but he injures the great general, and the great general hides it."
As a great general, Wei Qing was a high-ranking and powerful person, and since Li Guang's death, Li Dare had hated Wei Qing. Once, Li Darede took the opportunity to injure Wei Qing, according to common sense, this kind of thing is difficult to do, Wei Qing must have guards around to protect, how did Li Dare hurt Wei Qing?
We have reason to believe that Li Dare did not want to injure Wei Qing that time, or perhaps Li Dared wanted to kill Wei Qing and avenge his father. Li Dang should have made a corresponding plan, and by surprise, he did not kill Wei Qing, but only injured him.
However, Wei Qing did not pursue the matter, and the generous Wei Qing may have thought that Li Guang's death also had some responsibility, so Wei Qing spared Li Dare.
Huo went to the disease to shoot Li Dare:
Wei Qing's injury may be hidden from ordinary people, but it can't be hidden from Huo To's illness, Huo's illness is his nephew, and the two are not only uncles and nephews, but also close comrades-in-arms. We can speculate that Huo Wentai had said that he wanted to seek revenge on Li Dare, and Wei Qing must not have allowed it.
"Ju Wuhe dared to hunt from Shangyong to Ganquan Palace, and the general of the Hussars went to the sick and complained, dared to hurt Qing, and shot and killed." When fang Guixing went to the disease, shangwei was secretive, and the cloud "touched and killed". Living in his old age, he went to die of illness. ”
In Huo's opinion, whether his uncle allowed it or not, he would have to avenge the Wei family. Once, Li Dare followed Emperor Wu of Han to Ganquan Palace to hunt, huo went to the sick side to accompany his followers, on the way to the hunt, Huo went to the sick to seize the opportunity, Zhang bow and arrow shot at Li Gan. Huo Fu was originally a master of archery, and Li Darede could not avoid it and was killed by an arrow.
Huo went ill and dared to kill people in front of the emperor, and he killed still an officer in the army, but whether to punish Huo to go ill was only the emperor alone. Huo Went to illness was the top pillar of the Han Dynasty at that time, how many Li Dare may not be able to withstand Huo Go's illness alone, Emperor Wu of Han knew very well that even if Huo went to the disease and killed a few more Li Gan, he could not do anything to Huo Go sick.
After the death of Wei Qing and Huo Fu, the military strength of the Han Dynasty declined rapidly, and it was difficult to find a thousand armies, and in the war, the role of generals was crucial, because of the death of Wei Qing and Huo Tou, Emperor Wu of Han only made Li Guangli a general, but Li Guangli was obviously not a general material, it was more defeat than victory.
For the sake of the empire's military strength, in order to continue to suppress the Xiongnu, Emperor Wudi of Han chose to compromise, obviously Huo went ill and killed Li Gan, but Emperor Wu of Han said that a deer had killed Li Gan, and the matter was over.
Huo went to the disease to avenge his uncle, which is also reasonable, and it is strange to blame Li Guang and Li Gan for being too extreme. Li Guang fought all his life, not even a marquis, Li dared to seal the Marquis of Guannei, but it was not long, he was shot to death by Huo's illness, and it can also be said that shi also had luck and fate.
After Huo went to illness and killed Li Gan, he also died soon after, at the age of twenty-four. A flesh-and-blood young man, and for many years to learn martial arts, the body is great, eat Ma Ma xiang, the family does not have genetic diseases how to say that death is dead?
The cause of his death is no longer known, and the history books only use two words "illness and death" to pass, which is too surprising.
However, looking at his name called "Huo to go to the disease", it is possible that he has been weak since he was a child and often gets sick, otherwise why is it called "going to the disease"? Such an explanation may make sense, because it is not good in its own physique, and it is angry, so it is a life.
But in any case, with the merits and abilities of Huo Fuyi at that time, if he could continue to survive, then the strength of the Han Dynasty would be stronger, but no one could go against the choice of fate. Heaven decided to let Huo go sick, existing like a shooting star, with a dazzling light, but it was fleeting.
Huo went to the disease to kill Li Gan did not pay any price, from the merit, position, ability, prestige and other aspects, Li Dare can not be compared with Huo To disease, and Huo go to the disease also has a strong Wei family as the backing, Li Dare is not able to fight Huo to go to the disease.
Although the three generations of the Li family have bad luck, they have never succumbed to fate, whether it is Li Guang, Li Dare, or Li Ling, they are all good men who dare to be bold!
Emperor Wu of Han deliberately concealed the shooting of Li Gan on behalf of Huo Goyi, on the one hand, he had selfish intentions and wanted to keep Huo Goyi, after all, he was a relative and a fierce general. Second, once this news is disseminated, after all, Li Guang's descendants are not good stubble, and the two factions will be pinched, which will be detrimental to anyone.
In fact, at that time, this kind of thing was also very common, don't forget that Li Guang's father Li Guang also killed Balingwei, and Emperor Wu of Han did not say anything.
