Chapter 304: Report to the country, we are fortunate
Li Ling was the eldest grandson of Li Guang, a flying general in the Han Dynasty. He was defeated and surrendered to the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of Han was furious and killed his entire family.
Li Ling was unable to return to the Han Dynasty for his whole life, and finally died of old age on the territory of the Huns.
Ma Qian and Li Ling, the Taishi Company, are very close friends, and Sima Qian was also convicted of Emperor Wu of Han to lobby for Li Ling.
However, Shigong Tai's evaluation of Li Ling was quite low.
Since then, the Li family was defeated, and all the scholars in Longxi were ashamed of being under the jurisdiction of the family.
This sentence is almost comparable to the shameful name of Hui in the Song Dynasty and the shameful surname of Qin in front of Yue Fei's tomb.
In the second year of Tianhan, Emperor Wu of Han ordered Li Guangli to conquer the Xiongnu and appointed Li Ling's army to escort the Ershi baggage for three generations. Li Ling said: "I hope to be a team to the south of Langan Mountain to divide the Shanyu troops."
Emperor Wu of Han rejected Li Ling's suggestion and said: "The evil generals belong to each other! I have sent many troops, so don't let the horses go to you!"
What he said means is that this time the Han Dynasty sent many troops to the Huns, and I have no extra cavalry to give you.
In fact, at that time, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing attacked the Huns many times. Tens of thousands of Han soldiers died, and more than 100,000 Han horses died. Although the Huns were crippled and fled far away, the Han were also few horses and could no longer chase and kill them.
Li Ling replied: "I have nothing to do, I am willing to attack the crowd with fewer people, and 5,000 infantrymen join the Shanyu Court."
The superiors are strong and agree to it.
The word Zhuang here shows that Emperor Wu of Han was very moved, so he agreed to Li Ling's request and allowed him to send troops.
In the end, the result was a surrender. Emperor Wu of Han was not as good-tempered as Zhao Huan. When he heard the news, he was furious.
Why did Li Ling insist on going to fight? This involves the difficulty of being a marquis of the three generations of the Li family.
Li Guang fought for more than 70 years in his life, but was finally held accountable by Wei Qing and committed suicide.
Li Ganli took over the Zuo Xianwang of the Huns, and was later killed by Huo Qubing.
Therefore, Li Ling was very anxious, so he wanted to go to fight to be a marquis of the Li family!
Feng Tang was old and Li Guang was difficult to be granted, so Li Ling, a young man, stubbornly wanted to fight and win military merits, and was named the marquis in the name of the Li family.
But Li Gan has actually been granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, so the Li family is not without Marquis, but Li Ling is too impatient.
In fact, Emperor Wu of Han did not treat him unfairly in his life.
He fought with the Huns, and returned for the first time without success, and the second time the entire army was wiped out. He lost his way with Wei Qing on the expedition for the third time, and returned for the fourth time without success. The fifth time, he refused to listen to Wei Qing's order and acted without permission, and then got lost. After returning to the camp, Wei Qing held accountable, and Li Guang committed suicide and apologized.
Li Guang, who returned without success three times, was wiped out once, and refused to obey orders once, had no rules for marching, and everyone was willing to defend themselves without fighting with swords. Emperor Wu of Han used it many times, and ordered him to go out of seclusion and fight five times, and Emperor Wu of Han treated him with Li Guang very much.
How did Li Guang repay Emperor Wu of Han?
Li Guang and his men were drunk in the fields and drove around Baling Pavilion after being drunk. They were stopped by Baling Pavilion lieutenant and detained Li Guang for a long time.
Then when Li Guang became the prefect of Youbeiping, he brought the Baling Tingwei to the army with him and then killed the Baling Tingwei.
Because of strict law enforcement, if you don’t give Li Guang the face, you will be chopped off your head?
If you look at the story of Lenin and the Guards, you will know how a morally noble person should do it.
The incident of Huo Qubing killing Li Gan is a continuation of Li Guang.
After Li Gan was appointed as a marquis, he knew that the death of his father Li Guang had a great relationship with Wei Qing.
Then he injured Wei Qing, and Wei Qing felt guilty and felt ashamed of the Li family, so he did not pursue Li Gan's assassination.
Who was Wei Qing at that time?
The Grand General of the Grand Marshal, this position is actually similar to that of Zhao Huan's enthronement of the Marshal of the Zhong Shidao. They both enjoy extremely high treatment and command the troops of the whole country, and decide the military affairs in one sentence.
As the great Han war god, Wei Qing won many battles. Huo Qubing attacked the Huns for 800 people, which was a surprise attack, but Wei Qing defeated the 240,000 cavalry of the Huns in a dignified manner, and was well-deserved by the great Han army god.
Li Gan failed to assassinate Wei Qing. Wei Qing was kind-hearted and ignored Li Gan and did not promote it. Even Emperor Wu of Han hid it.
Wei Qing is a kind person, but Huo Qubing has a bad temper. Can he bear it?
Aren't you revenge on blood relatives? I can, too.
Huo Qubing's father Huo Zhongru was a scumbag father. He stole Wei Shaoer, a maid from Princess Pingyang's mansion. Wei Shaoer gave birth to unmarried children. Huo Zhongru didn't dare to admit this and ran away.
Huo Qubing has been growing up with his mother and Wei Qing. Although Wei Qing is nominally an uncle, he is almost the same as his father.
Can he swallow this?
Moreover, it was Li Ganxian's revenge on blood relatives, so Huo Qubing killed Li Gan in the street to avenge his blood relatives.
At that time, the theory of great revenge in Gongyang theory was very popular, and it was said that the country's hatred could be restored for generations! Family feuds lasted for the Five Dynasties!
What's more, is Li Ganxian's precedent for blood relatives to revenge?
Emperor Wu of Han did not punish Huo Qubing.
As the only adult male in the Li family, Li Ling needed to prove himself, so he proposed the tactic of using infantry to fight cavalry, and the battle was pretty good.
In the first battle, the 5,000 people fought against the 30,000 Xiongnu. They fought five times in total, and they won many battles and the Huns left.
The Huns are here again, this time there are 80,000!
Emperor Wu of Han liked Li Guang very much, was extremely sad about Li Gan's death, and was also very concerned about Li Ling's request for battle.
So Lu Bode was sent to lead the cavalry to cooperate with Li Ling's battle.
However, the Li family's war was actually criticized by the Han army, so Lu Bode was ashamed to cooperate with Li Ling, so he wrote a letter saying that he didn't want to do it.
At that time, Lu Bode also had other tasks and went out to Hexi to cooperate with Li Guangli in the battle. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han's support for Li Ling ended in vain.
How did Li Ling do it?
The first step was to blame the woman, Ling said, "Why is my morale weak and I can't rise up? Is there any woman in the army?" When the first army left, a group of thieves from Guandong moved to the border with the army as soldiers and wives, and hid in the car. Ling searched and killed them all with his sword.
First, I pulled out the wife of the soldiers who accompanied the army and chopped them out.
On this point, the army does not allow his wife to follow him. Li Ling enforces military laws and acts without any mistakes, but it is blamed on women to affect morale. Will killing a soldier's wife affect morale even more?
The second step was beheading. After fainting, Ling plainclothes stepped out of the camp alone and stopped left and right: "Don't follow me, my husband will take Shanyu!"
After a long time, Ling returned, Daxi said, "The army is defeated and die!"
He assassinated the Huns and Zuo Xianwang alone, and those were the elite Huns of 80,000 people. Did he assassinate or assassinate?
The third step was to fight to the death, and the soldiers held two ranks of food, half of which were ice, and those who arrived at the time of the enemy were treated.
At midnight, the drums were beaten and the drums did not sound. Ling and Han Yannian both boarded the horses, and more than ten heroes followed. Thousands of captive cavalry chased them, and Han Yannian died in battle.
Ling said, "I have no face to repay Your Majesty!" Then he surrendered.
The soldiers were scattered, and more than 400 people escaped to the blockage.
We are about to fight to the death, why did the general surrender first?
When you arrive at the Netherworld, Han Yannian must ask Li Ling, everyone will fight to the death, but you will see Your Majesty without any face and surrender?
Then how did Li Ling do it?
He accepted the Xiongnu's official position, became the right school prince of the Xiongnu, and also reincarnated the Xiongnu's princess. Su Wu was detained by the Shanyu, and Li Ling also persuaded Su Wu to surrender.
Later, Li Ling led the troops in the Xiongnu to fight a battle with Shang Qiucheng's 30,000 Han troops. Of course, Li Ling was severely released, and Shang Qiucheng won a great victory.
Therefore, in Zhao Huan's eyes, Li Ling's light army advanced, ruined thousands of elite soldiers, then set up a archway, went to the Xiongnu to eat, drink, play and sleep with women, and also made him the king. People in their hometown were ashamed of him, and that was probably the case.
Wang Bing is different. Wang Bing attacked Linhuang. That was Zhao Huan's order to give Yang Xinzhong and Wang Bing the cheapest move. After all, the opportunity for the fight was fleeting. Zhao Huan was unwilling to let the border general ask for his orders in everything, and missed the opportunity for the fight. After all, Yunzhonglu had just recovered.
Wang Bing took Linhuang and stabbed the nail at Wanyan Zonghan's throat to prevent Wanyan Zonghan from going south before the military fort in Fengshengzhou was built.
This is Wang Bing’s strategic intention, and it was implemented very thoroughly.
Wang Bing's lonely army went deep and was surrounded. As for the current situation, Zhao Huan was not able to rescue him, and Yang Xinzhong had no troops to rescue Wang Bing and Sun Yi who were driving thousands of miles away.
Therefore, when the two of them set out, they knew that this was a thousand-mile raid without a way back.
Zhao Huan allowed them to surrender because they did well enough.
Moreover, Wang Bing was in his thirties and left a youngest son in Taiyuan, and took his eldest son to fight thousands of miles away. Zhao Huan asked Wang Bing to surrender, which was actually giving Wang Bing a chance to live.
Wang Bing has proved himself with the bloody battle in Taiyuan.
After all, it is different to surrendering by force and taking the order and facing His Majesty.
Zhao Huan and Yuwen Xuzhong explained why they issued this order. His character is kind and kind. In his heart, he was unwilling to see these soldiers who did not care about their lives for the country and the people, and they really died in a fierce battle.
Only then did Yuwen Xuzhong understand the intention of the official family. It was not a matter of slap in his head that you could surrender. Instead, he considered it from multiple aspects.
In addition, there will be negotiations to exchange Wang Bing for hostages. Yuwen Xuzhong said that he can understand the good intentions of the official family.
Unfortunately, the military order was passed to Wang Bing's army. After Wang Bing interpreted the edict according to the words, he smiled and said, "The official family underestimated someone."
Sun Yi asked, "What instructions did the official family give? Have you directly attacked Huanglong Mansion?"
"The official family allowed us to surrender to the Jin people and survive." Wang Bing said with a smile.
Sun Yi was surprised at first, and then smiled and said, "The official family is really kind and righteous. It is a great blessing for us to meet such an official family."
"But when we came out this time, we didn't plan to go back alive."
"I have the intention to die to seek the survival of the Song Dynasty. It is not our wish to have a complete life. I am determined to serve the country with death! I hope the Song Dynasty will be prosperous forever!" Wang Bing wrote this sentence under the oil lamp and showed it to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi thought for a while and wrote: "We are fortunate to serve the country! We are fortunate to have a good fortune to bury the bones and bravely benevolent tombs, and we will have no regrets in this life!"
Wang Bing and Sun Yi signed their own name on the letter and ordered Kuaima to send his letter back.
Of course, the battle situation in Linhuang City was not as bad as Zhao Huan thought. On the contrary, Wang Bing and Sun Yi were a bit comfortable.
"It's really good to say that this killing, setting fire, and looting all directions."
"Look at the fact that we have plundered tens of thousands of Khitans for labor and seized so many livestock. There are Khitans who guard the city, and some people do dirty and tiring work, and every meal is full of meat."
"The official thought that we were always worried about our lives in Linhuang Mansion. But how could we hesitate if we waited for someone to go back?" Sun Yi used a knife to insert a freshly roasted oily steak, blew it, and feasted.
"Drink some horse milk wine, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable at night. The beef tastes good. Let Kuaima bring some of the roe deer meat I cooked last time."
