Li Guang's three flaws made his life bumpy

Li Guang, a well-known flying general, was extremely brave, fought more than seventy battles with the Xiongnu in his life, and finally ended up on his own battlefield. One of the most important reasons is the character defect, which is mainly reflected in the following three points:

First, the sharp edge is revealed. Li Guang can be said to be really talented, shooting arrows into the stone, taking a hundred steps through Yang, and not chaotic in the face of danger. When he was stationed in the right north, the Xiongnu avoided him and did not dare to invade. While stationed in Shangjun, the emperor sent eunuchs to supervise him, and the eunuchs encountered three Xiongnu archers on the road, and their retinue were all shot. When Li Guang led a hundred men to pursue the three archers, he encountered thousands of Xiongnu troops. Li Guang ordered the soldiers to relax, unsaddle, and let the horses all lie down, and the soldiers laughed and laughed. Thousands of Xiongnu men and horses were confused, fearing an ambush, and withdrew. There is also Li Guang injured and sick alone can escape from thousands of Xiongnu, which shows how strong his skills are. However, Li Guang is too honest and simple, never acting in a low-key manner, which inevitably offends people and makes people jealous. Thus saying right and wrong in front of the emperor. Even the incorruptible general Cheng Buzhi had participated in Li Guang's book. Over time, the emperor became prejudiced against Li Guang.

Second, the temperament is not enough. When Li Guang was demoted to ordinary people, he went hunting in Baxian County, and was detained by The Baxian County Order. Not long after, Li Guang was newly activated, and Li Guang immediately requested that The County Order of Baxian follow him on the expedition, and then took the opportunity to kill the County Order. There was also a rebellion between the Qiang people and Li Guang's inducement to surrender when he was serving as the Tai punctual of Longxi, and eight hundred people surrendered. Li Guang killed them all in a day. This is also the thing that Li Guang regrets the most in his life.

Third, not rigorous enough. Li Guangzhijun was different from others, he never let the soldiers wait in strict formation at night, they were all in a state of freedom and relaxation, every time he received a reward, he distributed it to the soldiers, and when he encountered a shortage of water and food, he had to wait until the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough before he was willing to eat and drink. He was very gentle with the soldiers, so that the soldiers were willing to follow him, but it was difficult to resist once the enemy attacked. In particular, Li Guang often made up his own mind, his whereabouts were uncertain, and the troops often did not know where their commander had gone. This can also be seen that Li Guang is too rough and not rigorous. These reasons for his personality also caused him to lose many battles, indirectly contributing to his unfortunate life.
