In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched the Battle of Mobei. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only still reused the popular man Huo Qubing, but also sent Wei Qing, who was hiding in the snow, to the battlefield. The double pride shows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to this decisive battle. Wei Qing has been hidden by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for a long time since Huo Qubing was born. In this decisive battle, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once again appointed him, not only out of the needs of war, but also out of family needs. At this time, Wei Qing was already the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he had no choice but to look at the Buddha instead of the monk.

Wei Qing has left Dashan, but a veteran has withdrawn. He stood up and urged to go to the battlefield. This person is Flying General Li Guang.

Although Li Guang was so famous that even the Huns were afraid of him, he was 70% respectful and 30% courteous. However, just such a person, in the eyes of the Huns, could not be more awesome, but in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was no big deal. Through the three dynasties of Wen, Jing and Wu, Li Guang became the "King of Food City" before he was 30 years old, but his official position was never promoted and he was never able to hold office. In response to this, the famous poet Wang Bo wrote this sigh in the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng": "Oh! Bad luck, misfortune, Feng Tang is aging, Li Guang is difficult to seal"

Then Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang could not be granted the title. We can understand that, after all, he was "born at the wrong time." But now, why is it still difficult for Li Guang to seal the "Tianshi" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? There are four reasons.

First, Li Guang does not understand politics. When quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Li Guang made great military exploits as Zhou Yafu's general. Originally, this was his best opportunity to become a marquis. To protect his family and country, it was natural for him to become a marquis based on his military exploits. However, when Li Guang's army returned to North Korea, he accepted the reward from Liang Wang Liu Wu. At that time, Liu Wu was probably grateful. After all, he could not persist until the end without the support and help of people like Li Guang. However, Li Guang ignored the stakes. Therefore, Liu Wu was just a c-lord and he had no right to elevate court officials. Second, the relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Liu Wu was subtle, harmonious in name, but turbulent in reality, involving a dispute over the construction of a reservoir. Li Guang did not understand politics and made a big mistake. Therefore, in the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "ignored" his contribution and did not grant him a title, but only rewarded him. It is reasonable and reasonable.

Second, Li Guang does not understand humility. There is a record in the year: "Li Guang is talented, talks about traveling to the west, is conceited, and fights against the enemy." This shows that Li Guang is an arrogant person. He thought he was invincible, so he became arrogant and arrogant. If people with low self-esteem can hardly stand on their own, then those with arrogance cannot know how to be humble. People who are not humble are naturally difficult to please.

Third, Li Guang does not know how to innovate. Emperors Wen and Jing of the Han Dynasty adopted a "friendly policy" towards the Xiongnu. Therefore, in an era when peace was valued, the Han Dynasty mainly adopted a defensive strategy against the Xiongnu. If the Huns come to attack, they will attack and counterattack. After the Huns left, they prepared for the next attack. But it was different during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At this time, the Han army adopted an active offensive military strategy and fought deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, which was far from the defensive and counterattack tactics.

Li Guang can do very well in defensive counterattacks, but not in positional offense. This has something to do with his operational ideas and strategies. Several expeditions were not only in vain, but also suffered heavy losses. In addition to bad luck, what is more important is the lack of innovation ability, failure to break the shackles of thought and action, and not knowing how to innovate, innovate, and innovate again like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Fourth, Li Guang has no background. The success of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing relied on their own true abilities, but at the same time, they also relied more on the protection of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If electromagnetic pulse

There are four reasons for this. The first three are Li Guang's personal reasons and subjective reasons, and the last one is objective reasons.

A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. In the same way, a general who does not want to be a prince is not a good general. General Li wanted to be such a good general, so he always dreamed, worked hard, dreamed, and pursued. At this time, he volunteered to join the battle. He served the motherland and dedicated himself to the people. Privately speaking, it was just to achieve military exploits and make Hou famous.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the old man who was over sixty years old and asked: "Is Lian Po too old to eat?"

To this, Li Guang replied firmly: "The world rises and falls. , everyone has the responsibility.

"

After fierce debate, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally compromised and approved Li Guang to go to war. Just before leaving, he turned back to Wei Qing and said: "I'm old, weird, don't give orders to secretly film. I'm afraid I won't get what I want. "

This passage has three meanings. One is that Li Guang is old and useless. Second, Li Guang's life is not good to begin with and he is a doomed person. Third, you are using him Pay special attention to him. It's okay to let him go on patrol this time, but don't let him take on the important task of fighting the Xiongnu Chanyu, so as not to miss your big event.

It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who killed Li Guang. The final warning.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allocated 50,000 "thousand-mile horses" to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Starting from Huo Qubing's Daijun County, we directly attacked Yiyin Jiehan in the center. The arrangement was because Xie followed Zhao Xin's advice and adopted the policy of staying away from the desert and reclaiming wasteland. It was just right for Huo Qubing to send troops to respond.

Wei Qing set out from Dingxiang and aimed directly at the Xiongnu army in the east. It was a protracted war all the way to Wei Qing. The four generals arranged by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were the former general Li Guang, the left general Gongsun He, the right general Zhao, and the rear general Cao Xiang.

They said that the Han Dynasty's plan could not keep up with the changes. Emperor Wu originally asked Huo Qubing to face Yi Chixie Shanyu and Wei Qing to face Zuo, but the result was completely opposite. Huo Qubing finally met Zuo, but Wei Qing met Yi Chixie Shanyu.

First of all, let's look at Wei Qing's situation. After the two armies closed their eyes, Zhi Yi was inclined to listen to Zhao Xin's advice first, and to "know shame and then be brave", and withdraw the baggage and troops to Mobei, with the obvious intention of defeating the Han army. Inviting you into the urn and launching a counterattack in the end, it should be said that Yi Chi Xie's wishful thinking was very good, and it seemed that it was a sure-fire situation.

Faced with Zhi Yi's move, Wei Qing did not. He retreated. Instead, he decided to play this cat-and-mouse game with Zhi Yi and perform a broken show. He divided his troops into two groups and attacked the Huns from the front as he fled north. Wang Ting; and the other way went eastward, traveling through thousands of mountains and crossing thousands of rivers, to reach Mobei.

Wei Qing decided to hand over the long journey to Mobei to the old general Li Guang. The army completed the trip together. Of course, the reason why Wei Qing was so unsympathetic to veteran Li Guang and allowed him to participate in the "Long March" was out of selfishness?

Li Guang was replaced by Gongsun Ao as the vanguard. Everyone knew about the relationship between Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing. Wei Qing backed down and took the lead, obviously wanting to help his brother who had helped him before.

Li Guang knew about it. There were not many opportunities to go to the battlefield, and he was eager to express himself, so he expressed his strongest protest against Wei Qing's arrangement: "The minister is the general of the past, and the general of today is the apprentice who sent me out of the host. And I married off to fight with the Huns, so this is a serious Khan. I would like to lead the way. ”

What Li Guang said is that this time I came to participate in this military operation and to be the vanguard. Now, the general asked me to change my route to the east road, which is very unfair to me. Fair enough. Although I have experienced three dynasties, I have never had the opportunity to face the Xiongnu Shanyu. Regarding Li Guang's infinite desire, Wei Qing remained silent and showed infinite indifference.

"No, no, no", Wei Qing's understatement completely killed the last remaining hope in Li Guang's heart.

Li Guang expressed "resistance" many times, while Wei Qing firmly emphasized "strictness". Yes, it makes sense for Wei Qing to choose ruthlessness, because he has Emperor Wu of Han's Chrysostom underneath him. Friend Gongsun Ao also had his own selfish interests.

Since words and protests failed, Li Guang finally had no choice but to resist with action.

“I am not grateful to the general, but I am embarrassed. . In a rage, he left, led the right general, ate his troops, and left his master. ”

Li Guang’s behavior expresses two meanings: no gratitude and no contempt.

This is Li Guang, ruthless and upright. He expressed his feelings for Wei Qing in this silent way

Afterwards, Wei Qing led the main force to gallop forward and arrived in Mobei.

The two armies are facing each other, and a decisive battle is about to take place.

Yishan had already led the main force to "wait" for the Han army here. Wei Qing is a person who understands current affairs. Seeing that the Hun soldiers were ready to go, he decided to adopt the strategy of luring the enemy out of the cave and dividing his troops to fight.

Wei Qing's deployment was as follows: use "chariots" to form a super camp with a tent on top, and hide 5,000 elite cavalry inside. The advantage of this arrangement is that the 5,000 cavalry can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and can come and go as they please. Under the cover and chaos of the super camp, the other main forces used the left and right wings to circle around and reach the Huns' base camp.

Xie Yi Khan waited for such a long time and finally came to the Han army. Naturally, according to the strategic arrangement before the war, he decided to fight the Han army. He gave the order and the Huns soldiers launched a decisive battle against the Han army. Although the Han army only has 5,000 cavalry, they are elite cavalry and have super strong combat effectiveness. So in the face of the Huns' attack, five thousand cavalry put up a tenacious resistance. As a result, the battlefield was dark, and there was still no winner from morning to night.

At this moment, a sandstorm suddenly blew up, helping five thousand Han troops. Because the dust was flying all over the sky, it was hard to see anyone clearly, let alone fight. So both sides began to kill based on their feelings, and it was inevitable to kill each other.

Facts have proved that God's help bought time for Wei Qing's two wings to raid the enemy's rear. When two Han armies descended from the sky and appeared at the Huns' base camp, the Huns were stunned and could only raise their hands and surrender. It is important to save their lives first. The result can be imagined. After occupying the Xiongnu's lair, the Han army launched a fierce attack from behind on Xie Shanyu's main force in the decisive battle.

Fighting from the front and back, the Huns soldiers had no idea of ??the situation. Yi Chixie already knew that he was "trapped" in this decisive battle. Instead of resisting tenaciously, he led hundreds of death squads to break through and escape quickly.

After Xie Yihan escaped, the Huns soldiers who realized it later lost their backbone and chose "Thirty-six strategies, taking action is the best strategy". For a moment, the scene was in panic, with trampling sounds everywhere. In the end, the Han army killed and captured nearly 20,000 Xiongnu soldiers. What is "white bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles without crows"? Here it is.

In this way, the decisive battle ended with Wei Qing's unexpected victory. When Wei Qing won a great victory in the Battle of Mobei, he encountered the armies of Li Guang and Zhao.

It stands to reason that Wei Qing and Li Guang should hug each other and say goodbye with tears in their eyes. However, they were shy and angry as soon as they met. Li Guang originally had a distant fire hidden in his heart and was filled with evil spirits, but Wei Qing Piansheng lit the fire with his own hands.

In military law, delays in marching time are dealt with. After the battle of Wei Qing, Li Guang took his time, and Wei Qing immediately sent Chang Shi to hold Li Guang accountable.

The arrogant Li Guang really couldn't bear the humiliation, so he said something he had been holding in his heart for a long time: "Guangjie fought with the Huns for more than seventy years. Fortunately, Shan Yu was sent out by the general today." , the general returned to Guangbe and lost his way. Isn't it paradise? He was over sixty years old and couldn't answer." Then he ended his life by suicide.
