Li Guang is difficult to seal.
Is Li Guang really difficult to seal?
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a total of seventy-five meritorious marquises were enfeoffed.
Among them, more than thirty people who were awarded the title of Marquis for their military merits, including Li Guang's cousin Li Cai, and Li Guang's son Li Gan were also given the title of Marquis of Guannei, but there was no Li Guang.
Li Guang's cousin can be sealed, Li Guang's son can be sealed, but there is no Li Guang, it can be seen that Emperor Wu of Han is not a miserly marquis, and there is no prejudice against Li Guang, so why can't Li Guang get the title of marquis?
Li Guang had no political consciousness, and no emperor would like it.
Li Guang's first battle achievement was to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu.
This was obtained by Li Guang during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han's father, Emperor Jing of Han.
At that time, Li Guang, as a lieutenant of the Xiao Cavalry, accompanied the lieutenant Zhou Yafu on a campaign to suppress the rebellion. Under the city of Changyi, he seized the rebel flag and made great contributions, and his fame began to appear.
But at this time, Li Guang's low political consciousness harmed him.
Li Guang actually accepted the reward of Emperor Jingdi's younger brother King Liang, accepted the general seal given by King Liang, and became a general of King Liang.
Anyone who knows the history of the Han Dynasty knows that the greatest enemy of the Han Jing Emperor was not the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, or even the raging Xiongnu, but his brother King Liang.
In order to succeed Emperor Jing of Han, King Liang did not hesitate to let his mother empress dowager persecute Emperor Jing of Han, and then bribed Emperor Jing's courtiers, and even sent assassins to assassinate and advise Emperor Jing not to set up his own ministers, almost to the point of madness.
Such a Liang king, and Li Guang actually accepted his reward!
It should be noted that the heart of the King of Liang to seize the throne was known to the Manchu Dynasty, and the other ministers were too late to hide, and Li Guang actually did not resign the reward of the King of Liang, and gladly accepted it.
If it were not for the fact that Li Guang was indeed excellent in martial arts, riding and shooting first-class, and indeed a political idiot, and had no rebellious intentions, it is estimated that Emperor Jingdi of Han would have found an opportunity to kill him long ago.
Even Zhou Yafu can be killed, is it still reluctant to have a Li Guang?!
With such a previous conviction, how could he possibly be given the title of Marquis?!
Li Guang fought against the Xiongnu, and his battle achievements were not obvious.
Although Li Guang fought many battles with the Xiongnu, he made few achievements.
Sima Qian recorded all of Li Guang's battles against the Xiongnu during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The first time was in 137 BC, when Emperor Wudi of Han took the initiative to attack the Xiongnu for the first time, which was the first time that Emperor Wudi of Han had overcome all difficulties and his ambitions bloomed in the imperial court, and it was also a thorough investigation of the combat strength of the Xiongnu, and it was also a battle that Emperor Wudi of Han had high expectations.
This time, Emperor Wu of Han sent four large armies, each with 10,000 cavalry, to attack the Xiongnu. Li Guang was the main general of the road, and as a result, the entire army was destroyed, and Li Guang himself was captured by the Xiongnu. Although he fled back with extraordinary skill, he was defeated so completely that he was not killed, and Emperor Wu of Han was also magnanimous.
The second time was in the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, Li Guang accompanied the general Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu from Dingxiang. Most of the generals killed and captured the enemy to meet the standards for meritorious service, while Li Guang's troops had no merit.
The third time, Li Guang led 4,000 cavalry from Right Beiping, and Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, led 10,000 cavalry to accompany him. Due to Zhang Qian's delay, Li Guang led his troops to fight the Xiongnu alone, and almost the entire army was destroyed. In this battle, Zhang Qian was demoted to a Shuren, and Li Guanggong was offset by his excesses, and there was no reward.
In the fourth decisive battle of Mobei, Li Guangwei accompanied Wei Qing as a former general. Wei Qing ordered Li Guang's army to detour and encircle, but Li Guang got lost and did not enter the battle. After the war, Wei Qing inquired, and Li Guang committed suicide. As for why Wei Qing let Li Guang detour and not let Li Guang directly act as a forward to fight against the Xiongnu, I will talk about it later.
In the four major wars, Li Guang was never absent, and there were almost no battle achievements that he might be able to get his hands on.
The battle achievements are not obvious, what foot is sealed?!
Li Guang only had personal courage and commanded combat, not his strength.
Li Guang's martial arts, there is no need to question.
The forest dark grass is frightening, and the general leads the bow at night. Ping Ming looked for white feathers, not in the stone edge.
This Tang Dynasty Lu Lun's "Plugged Down Song" can be described as a great admiration for Li Guang's martial arts, and it is incomparable.
However, war is after all a group act, relying on the courage of only one person, how many battle achievements can there be?! The armed forces of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, could not turn the tide of the battle, and they had to be defeated again and again under the siege, until Wujiang killed himself.
What about Li Guang?!
Li Guang really wouldn't lead troops.
Although Li Guang was extremely kind to the soldiers, every time he sent troops, the reward was distributed to the soldiers, and the marching sergeant did not eat and drink well, and Li Guang did not eat or drink. But this is only the benevolence of a woman, not the method of leading soldiers.
Li Guang led the army, did not camp, did not line up the position, although he released a distant sentry, but it was really a death. With such an army, there was no one else but bandits who blocked the road and robbed them.
Li Guang fought like he shot arrows.
Li Guang shoots arrows, paying attention to a hundred shots, the enemy is not within range, and the lead is not fired; As soon as the enemy entered range, the arrows killed him. However, this is Li Guang himself, can his soldiers be all right?! In such a melee battle, Li Guang may be handy, but his subordinates are looking for death. Therefore, Every battle of Li Guang is extremely dangerous, and perhaps General Li is very enjoyable in fighting, but as General Li's deployment, it is really a death.
From this point of view, Li Guang was only suitable for being a fighting general or a scout, or fighting with the enemy in front of the line, or retreating with one blow, and was not suitable for leading troops as a general at all.
Li Guang's being a general is a soldier's nightmare.
Li Guang, who fought like this, how could Wei Qing let him be the vanguard?!
If Li Guang was the vanguard, the vanguard troops would inevitably be completely annihilated, which was simply to cheer the Xiongnu, how could Wei Qing not know?!
The reason why Li Guang was sent around to encircle and copy may be that Wei Qing really wanted to help Li Guang: after encircling the enemy's rear, he suddenly killed, and he did not have to fight in close combat to achieve battle achievements.
As for Li Guang's loss, it was purely his own ability and had nothing to do with Wei Qing.
Improper tactics, it is difficult to win, how to seal the marquis?!
Li Guang was narrow-minded, had no tolerance for others, and was not worthy of being Hou.
Li Guang's killing of Lieutenant Baling was enough to serve as a negative teaching material.
It is said that after Li Guang sent troops and escaped from captivity, he was demoted to a shuren by Emperor Wu of Han. Once out of town to hunt, I missed the time to return to the city. Li Guang asked Lieutenant Baling to open the door, but Lieutenant Baling did not allow it. Later, Li Guang once again led his troops on the expedition, and he transferred Lieutenant Baling to his army and then killed him.
A baling lieutenant offended Li Guang because he obeyed the imperial court system, and was killed by Li Guang. Who else would dare to offend Li Guang? What will happen if you accidentally offend Li Guang, it is not easy to say, let alone good.
Very different from Li Guang is Han Xin. The bully who bullied Han Xin and forced Han Xin to drill into the crotch of his pants was promoted to lieutenant by Han Xin after Han Xin came out on top.
Li Guangjing will repay, Han Xin is humble, and the two can be described as worlds apart.
Li Guang was not only narrow-minded, but also had a previous conviction for killing prisoners.
Li Guang himself said that he had booby-trapped and killed eight hundred Qiang people in Longxi.
Such a heart, can it be sealed?!
This is the famous Li Guang, and this is the Flying General praised by thousands of people!
To be fair, such a Li Guang can be crowned Marquis?!
(Creation is not easy, attention is the greatest encouragement, thank you!) ）
