After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, there were many problems to be faced, and the most important thing at that time was to solve the Xiongnu, but the newly established Han Dynasty had just experienced war, and then attacking the Xiongnu was very unfavorable, so it was recuperated, and after the national strength was restored, the Han Dynasty had the capital to confront the Xiongnu.
Famous general of the Western Han Dynasty
In the Western Han Dynasty, there were many famous generals, and if the ruler could meet a good general, then he would save a lot of things, and even a good general could only top an army.
In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, we were often harassed by the Xiongnu, and after we restored the country, we also had the ability to solve the Xiongnu, so we led the army by Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi to attack the Xiongnu, and it is reasonable to say that we will encounter many obstacles in attacking the Xiongnu, for example, we are not familiar with the terrain of the Xiongnu, and it is easy for us to get lost when we go to attack. Because in previous years, the troops we sent out often got lost, and they didn't know where to join the troops, so they couldn't attack effectively.
When the matter of getting lost was placed on the bodies of Wei Qing and Huo Qiyi, it seemed to have no effect, and when Wei Qing and Huo Went ill attacked the Xiongnu for the first time, they achieved great results, and in the process of attacking in the following years, they all achieved brilliant results, and none of them were hindered because of getting lost.
The lost general
In the Western Han Dynasty, there was also a famous general, but his life was relatively bumpy, he was Li Guang, Li Guang was well known as early as a teenager by virtue of his familiar reading of the art of war, after Li Guang became an adult, he also led the army to start fighting with the Xiongnu, Li Guang every time with his own ability, again and again to defeat the invasion of the Xiongnu. It is such a brave general that he does not even have a decent title, why is this?
This has to say about the evaluation mechanism of the Western Han Dynasty, at that time, it was based on how many people were captured, how many war horses were captured, in short, the criteria for judging were still very objective, and the reason why Li Guang did not have a knighthood was related to the degree of merit of Li Guang himself.
The reason why Li Guang did not make too much merit was related to Li Guang himself, Li Guang was on the way to attack the Xiongnu, because he could not distinguish the direction and often got lost, which could not obtain the battle merits in time, which made Li Guang not obtain the title.
As a general, Li Guang actually only lost the road once when attacking the Xiongnu, that is, in the Battle of Mobei, Li Guang was arranged to support on the flank, and Li Guangcai, who did not know the road, got lost in this war.
The reason for getting lost
Why did Li Guang, a general as famous as Wei Qing and Huo Go, get lost, but Wei Qing and Huo Went sick would not? Obviously, there must be a reason why two people do not get lost, first of all, the use of weapons and equipment, especially the reuse of war horses, horses as a means of transportation, can play a very good role in rushing the road, once the war horse finds that the route is not right, then it will immediately adjust the direction, if you get lost on the offensive road, then you can let the horse return with you the same way.
After Zhang Qian returned from the mission to the Western Regions, he brought back the maps of the Western Regions, and after having a detailed map, he cleared up a great obstacle to the war, although there may be deviations, but it is stronger than nothing.
And the most important thing is the point of captivity, when we fight with the Xiongnu, we will capture the captives of the Xiongnu, and these captured generals will become the guides of the Han Dynasty army, guide the direction of the Han Dynasty army, and save a lot of time for the Han Dynasty army to rush.
The above is the reason why Wei Qing and Huo Go sick will not get lost, so what is the reason for Li Guang's loss? First of all, it was more that his own preparation was insufficient, and when he was fighting, Li Guang did not do a good job of route planning, and it was precisely because the planning was not in place that he would get lost.
Li Guang's guide is also unreliable, Li Guang's guide is often found temporarily, and they are all half-hanging guides, which is also the reason why Li Guang got lost.
Finally, it is also necessary to say that Li Guang himself, as a veteran, has dissatisfaction with Wei Qing and Huo Toyi itself, Li Guang is struggling with his own efforts, Li Guang himself is capable, but his personality is relatively narrow, often has jealousy, such jealousy is manifested in Wei Qing, Huo to the sick two, Wei Qing Huo to the sick two have a deep family heritage, Li Guang believes that the two people can only be promoted by nepotism, such an idea is also to let Wei Qing intentionally give Li Guang small shoes, Li Guang was often deliberately arranged to take some detours. This led to the reason why Li Guang could not obtain battle merits in time and could not be knighted.
epilogue
In general, the reason why Li Guang got lost is because he himself does not think of enterprising thoughts, does not have the spirit of advancing with the times, does not find reasons from himself, only recognizes his own judgment, and finally loses His own life.
