In the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion, the largest meritorious contributions naturally went to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. In terms of actual achievements, Li Guangbi often took charge of himself and gained more. But the later encounters were not the same, Guo Ziyi was a very popular minister, and Li Guangbi seemed to have a slight dislike with the dynasty. Comrade Ma Chi, with his years of research experience, has enriched the old history in a few details, and Li Guangbi's achievements in quelling the rebellion in those years will not be lost. At the same time, it clarified many historical fogs about Li Guangbi's father's family, his mother's family, and himself, and corrected some errors in the two books of "Book of Tang" and "Zizhi Tongjian", which is commendable. It should be said that Comrade Ma Chi's book is not an idle work.

Introduction
This book is a biography of the famous Tang Dynasty general Li Guangbi, and it is also an academic work on his life and deeds. As a hero of the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi are equally famous, and they are known as "Li Guo". In terms of actual combat achievements, Li Guangbi was above Guo Ziyi, "his military exploits were promoted to be the first in Zhongxing", and the battles of Taiyuan, Heyang, and Huaizhou under his command were brilliant, and they were classic examples in the history of ancient Chinese warfare. However, compared with Guo Ziyi's infinite scenery, Li Guangbi's encounter seems lonely and lonely. Mr. Ma Chi, an expert in Tang history, is committed to the study of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and this book is one of his representative works. The book examines the family lineage of Lee Kwang-pil, corrects the errors in the historical records, and recounts the glorious and lonely life of this famous general with sympathy, and makes a rigorous examination and commentary on his life deeds and the strategy of the art of war. The book's rigorous narrative and concise writing help readers gain an in-depth understanding of Lee's personality and style. The book is accompanied by five monographs on the Tang Dynasty generals, which will help readers to have a deeper understanding of the Tang Dynasty generals represented by Li Guangbi.

Foreword
In recent years, there has been a strong Guo Ziyi fever at home and abroad. Not only Europe, America and Southeast Asia have Guo clan associations, but also Qin and Jin provinces have also established non-governmental organizations such as Guo Ziyi Research Association. Some scholars were not to be left behind, and monographs on Guo Ziyi's deeds were published one after another.
"Respecting ancestors and respecting relatives" is an important aspect of the traditional culture of the mainland, which is also a concrete manifestation of the self-confidence and pride of the Chinese nation, and it is also the best illustration of the strong national cohesion of our descendants of Yan and Huang. Therefore, we have nothing to criticize about Guo Ziyi's hot phenomenon.
However, Li Guangbi, who is as famous as Guo Ziyi and "known as Li Guo", was not only snubbed by the Tang people, but even today, few people even have a "glimpse" of him.
It's not fair.
Li and Guo are both famous in the Heian Historical Rebellion, but if they are judged by military achievements, they really should not be placed on the same level. Guo Ziyi led his troops to be loose and collapsed, "once defeated in Qingqu, and then collapsed in Xiangzhou", even his beloved generals could not exonerate him from the responsibility of repeated defeats. When he replaced Guo Ziyi as the commander, "the barracks, the soldiers, and the banners had nothing to change, and Guangbi ordered him to be shrewd" ("New Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of Li Guangbi"). Therefore, Wang Chuanshan, a thinker of the Ming Dynasty, commented that "in terms of military exploits, Li Guangbi worked hard with his wisdom and courage, and his merits in defeating the enemy were regarded as many as Guo" ("Reading through the Commentary", vol. 23).
The author has been fighting since he was a child, and his temper has not changed today. Therefore, when reading the history to "Li Guangbi was suspicious and angry, and he lost his life" ("Tongjian" volume 263), he covered the volume and sighed, and could not let go of it for several years. When I read Guo Ziyi, who is "as famous as Li Guangbi" but "not able to catch it", "three thousand families", "good land and beautiful instruments...... Unwinning", "Eight sons and seven sons-in-law, all noble and conspicuous court", "Extravagant and poor people's desires", "Rich and longevity, reproduction and peace, mourning and glory at the end" (two "Tang Shu Guo Ziyi Biography"), he was angry and said: "The court is so generous and the other is not good!" When he saw that people today worship the dead of Guo Ziyi and write endless stories about his life and deeds, he was also eager to write a book about Li Guangbi.
Here, I would like to state one point: The comparative evaluation of Li and Guo Zhangong is based on historical facts, and I have no intention of "suppressing Guo Yang Li", so please don't misunderstand the Guo clan. In fact, Ziyi Gong is a lovely good gentleman who can get along with anyone, he doesn't dare to offend the emperor, he doesn't disdain to resent the eunuchs, and he doesn't want to strictly govern the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under his command, and even accommodating and retreating to his daughter-in-law. So up and down, left and right, east, west, north, south, and middle, his reputation is excellent. But Li Guangbi is disgusting in everything. He ruled strictly, almost ruthlessly, "on the day of every school flag, the sergeant is not as small as the order, and he will be beheaded", and there are "those who have broken their hearts" ("Old Tang Book: The Biography of Hao Tingyu"); He did not want to curry favor with the eunuchs, nor did he dare to disagree with the Son of Heaven; He was even more unkind to his wife and children, because he was busy with official business, he could count the doors of the house without entering, and when he was dying, he actually gave the title back to the Son of Heaven, on the grounds that "if the heir of the unmeritorious son is kept to the plain seal, the minister will not turn a blind eye when he goes to the lower spring" ("Shufu Yuangui", vol. 409), so that the youngest son of the Empress of Xue is "few and has nothing to rely on" and relies on others to promote Shijin ("Quantang Wen", vol. 738). Such a "unkind" person, no wonder so many people don't like him very much, and even when he was terminally ill and about to die, the emperor still complained that he "couldn't be delayed", and Shi Chen ridiculed him for having "not releasing the throne" (two "Tang Shu Li Guangbi Biography").
Because of the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, coupled with his natural stubbornness, the author loved Wu and Wu, and had a soft spot for Li Guangbi; As early as fifteen years ago, he had contemplated writing a "Examination of the Deeds of Li Guangbi" with hundreds of thousands of words. However, I am very talented and inert, and even after many years, I am still busy with trivial matters around me, and I have never worked "talking on paper". My mentor, Mr. Shangguan Hongnan, saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, and repeatedly urged me to write about it. Because of the lazy people's whimsical ideas, they don't ask the help of Shangguan Shi, who is excellent in writing skills, to work together. However, Shangguan Shi is entangled in his own affairs, and he has no spare strength to guide. It was not until the Spring Festival this year that Shangguan Shi asked again, and he felt that it could not be postponed any longer. In addition, Mr. Shi Nianhai, the 85-year-old teacher, is still working hard, spurring his disciples silently and encouraging the author silently. There is also Mr. Niu Zhigong, who has also paid attention to the completion of this manuscript many times. All of these constitute the basic motivation for the author to write this little book. Here, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the teachers.
Due to the many moves, the information about Lee Guang Pi accumulated ten years ago was either burned by his family, or disposed of as rags at will. I had no choice but to pick up the materials in the two "Tang Books" and "Tongjian", and reluctantly connected them into a piece, which was self-evident because of its insufficient weight and lack of academicity.
This small book consists of 17 chapters, which make some research and comments on Li Guangbi's family lineage, life deeds, and historical environment. Although there are not many inventions, they do not pick up people's teeth; If you think about it in terms of filling in research gaps and throwing bricks and stones, it may still have some value. Therefore, the author does not take the liberty of dedicating this little book to readers.
