Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was a male lord of the Western Han Dynasty and even in history, who made achievements in the political, cultural and military fields, especially the opening of the Western Regions Road, and was an emperor of great talent and strategy.
However, despite his immeasurable merit as an emperor, emotionally, Emperor Wu of Han was not so cautious, and even took the lives of 100,000 soldiers for a woman...
Su Shi: Bo guan and about to take, thick accumulation and thin hair.
Li Yannian was a highly accomplished musician during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a native of Zhongshan (in present-day Dingxian County, Hebei), whose parents, brothers, and sisters were all musicians, and they were all artists who specialized in music and dance. When he was young, he was sentenced to corruption for breaking the law, and in the name of a "eunuch", he managed dogs in the palace, and his "sexual knowledge, good at singing and dancing", was quite respected by Emperor Wu, and was appointed as the supreme person in charge of the "Lefu".
The history books clearly record Li Yannian: "Every time a new sound changes the song, the hearer is not moved." It is said that once, Li Yannian sang a song for Emperor Wu of Han, and that song was indeed well written: "There are beautiful people in the north, unique and independent; One cares for the city of the people, and then cares about the country of the people; Ning does not know the fall of the city and the fall of the country, and it is difficult for beautiful people to get it again. ”
Emperor Wudi of Han listened to this song and said with emotion, "Well, where in this world can we find such a beautiful person?" Princess Pingyang on the side recommended to Emperor Wu of Han that Li Yannian's sister was such a beautiful person.
Lady Li was born with cloudy sideburns, graceful and colorful, especially proficient in music, good at singing and dancing, Emperor Wu of Han, after he got Lady Li, loved ruobao, a year later gave birth to a son, was crowned the King of Changyi. Mrs. Li was weak, and because of the postpartum disorder, she was seriously ill, withered and sick, and became increasingly emaciated.
Fading color means falling out of favor, but Lady Li is quite scheming, from beginning to end to leave a good impression on Emperor Wu of Han, so she refuses to visit Emperor Wu of Han, Lady Li covers her face with a brocade quilt, and says in the quilt: "As a woman, her appearance is not repaired, her makeup is not neat, it is not enough to see her father, and now she is unkempt, and she really dare not meet her majesty." Emperor Wu of Han insisted on wanting to take a look, but Lady Li still refused to show her face, and even though Emperor Wu of Han rewarded her with gold and conferred the title of Lady Li's brother in exchange, she still insisted on refusing, saying: "Whether you can give your brother an official, the power lies in Your Majesty, not whether you see it or not." And turned his back on Emperor Wu and began to cry. Emperor Wu left helplessly.
After Emperor Wu of Han left, Lady Li's sisters complained about her and should not do so. Mrs. Li said, "Whoever pleases others by his appearance, loves to relax; If I met the emperor with a haggard appearance, those good impressions of the past would be swept away, and could I expect him to take care of my son and brother with great care?"
After her death, Emperor Wu of Han was heartbroken and composed a song for Lady Li: Yes! Phyah! Just look forward to it, but it's late!! And buried with the ceremony of the empress, personally supervising the painter to paint the image of Lady Li in his impression, hanging in the Ganquan Palace, wandering and looking at the night, sighing low; He was fond of the King of Changyi, and promoted Li Yannian to be the lieutenant of the Concord, and his brother Li Guangli was even more conniving and caring, and made him a general.
According to the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, the emperor was not allowed to be a marquis without merit. In order to fulfill his oath to Lady Li, Emperor Wu of Han was always looking for an opportunity for Li Guangli to make a military contribution.
In the autumn of the fourth year (113 BC) of emperor Wudi of Han, a Prisoner of Dunhuang captured a sweat and blood BMW in the local area and dedicated it to Emperor Wu of Han. When Emperor Wudi of Han received this horse, he was ecstatic and called it "Tianma".
In order to obtain this kind of BMW stallion, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty sent a delegation of more than a hundred people to take a horse made of pure gold to the capital of the "Tianma" origin of the Kingdom of Dawan (present-day Ashabat City, Turkmenistan), but the King of Dawan refused to exchange the Dawan horse for the Golden Horse of the Han Dynasty. On the way back to China, the Han envoys were robbed in the territory of dawan, and the Han envoys were killed. Emperor Wu of Han was furious and made the decision to seize the Sweat and Blood BMW by force.
In 109 BC, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty appointed Li Guangli as a general of the Second Division, leading an army of 6,000 yulin, sending 20,000 prisoners of various counties and states totaling 20,000 evil teenagers to start an expedition to Dawan, because it was the autumn harvest before the departure, and a rare locust plague occurred in the Kanto region. The large army gathered in Dunhuang embarked on a journey without sufficient supplies. When Li Guangli's troops reached the border of Dawan, it was already early winter.
Due to the lack of water and soil, food shortage, all the way through the desert desert beach, starvation, disease, engulfed by the desert countless countless, 20,000 troops lost more than half, horses also suffered casualties. The first conquest of Dawan did not have the desired effect. Under the counterattack of the Dawan army, the Han army routed to the east, and the Dawan cavalry pursued and killed all the way, and the corpses of the Han army were all over the field. In the end, only Li Guangli and a few hundred others fled back to Dunhuang.
When Emperor Wu of han heard the news, he was furious, and he then ordered Sang Hongyang to be in charge of military supplies, mobilized 200,000 troops to go to the Western Regions, and at the same time, mobilized 100,000 military horses, 100,000 cattle and camels to transport supplies, and 500,000 sheep as meat for the army to be transported to Dunhuang. In this war, although the Han army won victory, but also suffered heavy losses, from Dunhuang troops, Li Guangli's army totaled 60,000 people (not including those who went out with the army privately), 30,000 war horses, when returning to Yumen Pass, only more than 10,000 people were left, and only 1,000 war horses.
But the matter was not over, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty marched and three years, the Xiongnu invaded Wuyuan and Jiuquan, plundering and killing the border people. Emperor Wu of Han probably felt that Li Guangli's last merit was not great enough, so he ordered him, who had no military talent, to attack the Xiongnu.
Li Guangli led an army of 70,000 men from Wuyuan to advance towards the Xiongnu. At this time, the capital Chang'an had a witchcraft disaster, Li Guangli's family was also involved, and Li Guangli's wives and children were arrested and imprisoned. At first, he did not think of surrendering to the Xiongnu, but wanted to make meritorious atonement for his sins, but after being defeated militarily, Li Guangli completely lost his fighting spirit and surrendered to the Xiongnu. In this way, all 70,000 Han jia'erlang were buried in the hands of Li Guangli, and with the first two expeditions to Dawan, Li Guangli alone buried the lives of no less than 100,000 soldiers.
Li Guangli was killed shortly after he surrendered. Li Yannian and his younger brother Li Ji were all executed by Emperor Wu of Han.
