Perhaps, Li Ling's defeat had long been expected by Emperor Wu of Han.
Li Ling went out with only five thousand infantry, and the Xiongnu were erratic, and the Han army had no idea where their main force was. If Li Ling encountered the main force of the Xiongnu, the result could be figured out with the fingers of his feet.
The news of Li Ling's defeat still came.
But this was not the focus of Emperor Wu of Han's attention. Emperor Wudi of Han muttered to himself, his wrinkled face full of nervousness.
"Li Ling, he must not surrender."
Yes, this is the focus of Emperor Wu of Han's attention, and he hopes in his heart that Li Ling can be a martyr.
In the Han Empire, the face of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was more important than the defeat.
However, Emperor Wudi of Han's fears became a reality.
Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu.
Emperor Wudi of Han instantly felt that his face had been thrown to the ground and had been trampled on several times.
"Li Ling, you really disappointed Yuan."
The courtiers also fell into the well.
"Your Majesty, quick, destroy the clan of Ya."
Under the influence of emotions, no one cares about the so-called facts at all.
Li Ling used 5,000 infantry to carry the main force of the Xiongnu Shan Yu's 80,000 cavalry for eight days and eight nights. While killing more than 10,000 enemy troops, he only lost more than 2,000 people.
Enough is enough.
If there were no traitors inside, Li Ling would have been able to retire from the war and make a name for himself.
Even the Xiongnu Shan Yu was shocked by Li Ling's powerful combat effectiveness.
But Li Ling was really defeated, and he also surrendered to the Huns.
That's shameful.

The emperor's face was not good-looking, and the group of courtiers was in the torrent of criticism of Li Ling. No one would think about why Li Ling would surrender, and what his plans would be next.
It's too much brain cell. tired.
Ma Qian, a Taishi company that had been watching the development of the situation, stood up with trepidation: "Your Majesty, Li Ling has already played the prestige of the Han army under such difficult circumstances, and according to my analysis, Li Ling's surrender is likely to be just a temporary measure." You know, Li Ling has the style of a national soldier. Calm down. ”
What, someone would actually intercede for Li Ling.
Yes, it is said that Li Lingyingwu was also knocking on the side to prove the incompetence of the general Li Guangli of the Second Division. Li Guangli was the brother of Emperor Wu of Han's favorite concubine Lady Li.
This is obviously saying that Emperor Wudi of han used people improperly.
Sima Qian accidentally touched the emperor's reverse scales, paid the price for his truth, and was sentenced to palace punishment.
If he had said this to Emperor Wu of Han later or alone, the situation would certainly have been different.
Because after Emperor Wudi of Han calmed down, he also felt that Li Ling would not sincerely surrender, and he felt that Li Ling must have a big plan in his heart.

Emperor Wu of Han sent the general Gongsun Ao (公孙妀) deep into the Xiongnu to pick up Li Ling and return home.
However, Because Gongsun Ao could not defeat the Xiongnu King Zuoxian, he returned home with his soldiers.
"Your Majesty, Li Ling has really surrendered to the Huns, and he is still helping the Huns train their troops."
Gongsun Ao did not even see Li Ling's face, which was typical of diverting the emperor's attention to excuse himself. Can you believe gossip too?
Emperor Wudi of Han's heart was completely cold.
Li Ling's family was exterminated.
It was freezing cold outside the sai, and Li Ling, who had received the news, was also completely heartbroken. He asked himself over and over again about the meaning of being alive, but his intuition always gave him the same answer, be a walking dead.
Li Ling gave up the grand plan in his heart, but there was no way to do it, because the imperial court had blocked his way back tightly.
But the seeds of loyalty have long been engraved into the genes of the Li family's children.
Although Li Ling belonged to the Xiongnu, he did not retaliate against the Han army.
Fox Deer Gu Shan took illness to Shanggu and Wuyuan to rob, killing people and setting fires. The Han army returned fire with three men and horses, the general Li Guangli of the Second Division sent 70,000 men out of Wuyuan, the imperial master Shang Qiu Cheng sent more than 30,000 people out of the West River, and The reunion of Hou Mangtong sent 40,000 cavalry out of Jiuquan.
The Xiongnu general who fought against Yushi Dafu Shangqiu was None other than Li Ling.
As a result, the Xiongnu soldiers were inferior to the Han army and retreated.
Li Ling was able to challenge Shan Yu's 80,000 cavalry with 5,000 infantry, and how to lead 30,000 cavalry was defeated in front of the 30,000 people of the Han army.
Obviously don't want to fight.
Li Ling also maintained a pure heart for his mother country.
Later, Li Ling was made the Right Colonel King by the Xiongnu Shan Yu and recognized him as his son-in-law.
Time passed day by day, and Li Ling's appearance was also engraved into the appearance of an alien by the years. Dressed in the clothes of the Huns, with the hairstyle of the Huns, even the face was full of vicissitudes under the erosion of the wind and sand.
Li Ling and the Xiongnu ate large bowls of meat and drank wine, but they were still extremely lonely inside. Because he was also a foreigner in the hun group.
He could never go back to his home in Chang'an, and his life was only left with the desert smoke.

Su Wu, an emissary of the Han Dynasty, was detained by the Xiongnu.
Su Wu was extremely bloody, and the Xiongnu used various means to defeat Su Wu's arrogant head. In desperation, the Xiongnu exiled Su Wu to the North Sea to herd sheep.
Shan Yu did not have a dead heart, and he sent Li Ling to persuade Su Wu to surrender with wine and meat.
When the two of them worked together in the Han Dynasty, they had a good relationship, so when they met in a foreign country, they naturally drank wine and talked happily.
But on the issue of integrity, Su Wu is still the same principle.
"Surrender is impossible, and you can take my head at any time."
At that moment, Li Ling felt that he was a dwarf in front of Su Wu. His own family was exterminated by the emperor, and Su Wu's family was also unfortunate, and the people still adhered to their integrity.
That day, Li Ling cried for a long time.
He decided not to be a lobbyist for Shan Yu anymore. Because he was not worthy to talk to Su Wu about integrity.
After the death of Emperor Wu of Han, the Han Empire entered the era of Emperor Zhao of Han.
The auxiliary chancellor Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie were about the events of that year. As Li Ling's former colleagues and friends, they know Li Ling's personality too well.
Therefore, they sent an invitation to Li Ling to return to China.
Unexpectedly, Li Ling actually refused.
The explanation given by Li Ling was: "I cannot be humiliated again. ”
Yes, he had already surrendered to the Huns in his heart, and when he returned to Chang'an, he himself looked down on himself.
Let the wind and sand of the desert bury his remnants.
Soon, Su Wu was going to return to China.
Li Ling once again went to find Su Wu with wine and meat.
Facing Su Wu, the Mount of Taishan, Li Ling's face was jealous: "Brother Ziqing will become famous in the world from now on, and I will forever bear the name of a traitor."
Come and go, drink, and never again. ”
Facing Su Wu's fading back, Li Ling sniffled. Catalyzed by alcohol, he twisted his body to vent his emotions in the open wilderness.
Thousands of miles to the sand curtain, for the army generals to fight the Xiongnu. The road is poor and the blade is destroyed, and the soldiers are destroyed by the name of the people. The old mother is dead, and though she wants to repay the favor, she will return safely!
Su Wu's departure not only made Li Ling lose a friend who drank and chatted, but also made him lose his spiritual sustenance. Because Su Wu knew Li Ling, he understood better than anyone that Li Ling's surrender at that time was only a stopgap measure, and he actually had a grand plan in his heart, hijacking Shan Yu and making an immortal contribution.
However, fate could not get by with him, and Emperor Wu of Han killed Li Ling's entire family and made Li Ling's heart like ashes.
Since then, Li Ling has completely lost his soul. He drank wine and ate meat without restraint, only to die quickly.
In the first year of Yuan Ping, Li Ling fell ill and died.
Why is Li Ling's life a tragedy.
The reason is simple and unrealistic.

The Han army has verified the fact that the main force of the Xiongnu is erratic, and the Han army cannot figure out where they are.
Li Ling's grandfather, Li Guang, suffered heavy losses twice by the main forces of the Xiongnu, and once even became a prisoner of the Xiongnu.
In this battle, Li Guangli was the protagonist, and Emperor Wu of Han only wanted Li Ling to be responsible for the logistics of transporting grain and grass. But Li Ling had no choice but to go to war.
Emperor Wu of Han said that he really did not have any extra troops to give Li Ling, but Li Ling patted his chest and said boldly: "I have these five thousand special soldiers, which is enough." ”
Yes, you Li Ling is a general, and your Li Ling's five thousand infantry combat effectiveness is extraordinary, but can you guarantee that you yourself will not encounter the main Xiongnu force?
Fate did indeed make a joke with Li Ling.
Like his grandfather Li Guang, Li Ling nodded his back and encountered Shan Yu's main force.
Li Ling paid for his frivolity. Yes, he wanted to prove himself too much. As a result, it backfired.
Taking history as a mirror, everything must be based on reality and make every decision according to its own conditions, so that we can fight steadily and stand in an invincible position.
