About Li Guang

Li Guang (186-119 B.C.) was born in Longxi of Western Han Dynasty. He is not good at words. He is tall, with ape like arms and is flexible, which is his advantage in riding and shooting. At that time, Xiongnu, a nomadic people in the north, often invaded the frontier areas of Han Dynasty to plunder. In 166 BC (the 14th year before Emperor Wen), Xiongnu invaded Xiaoguan on a large scale. At the age of 20, Guang joined the army to attack Hu. He was promoted to Zhonglang because of his military achievements. Buwuqi Changshi (the emperor's Bodyguard) went on a journey with Emperor Wen, or stormed the enemy, or fought with beasts, and was loved by Emperor Wen! When you don't meet your son, just like when your son is emperor Gao, how can the Marquis of ten thousand families say it

At the beginning of the reign of emperor Jing, Zhou Yafu and his great captain leveled off the chaos of Wu and Chu, and moved to Shanggu Prefecture; Li Zhuan, Shangjun, Beidi, Yanmen, Daijun, Yunzhong and other frontier prefects adjacent to the Xiongnu frontier were all famous for their fierce fighting.

He is resourceful and brave. In 137 BC (the fourth year of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty), Wei Wei was widely used as a general to attack Xiongnu in Yanmen. The Huns had many soldiers. They defeated Guangjun and were captured. At that time, Guang was injured and sick. The Xiongnu linked the two horses and let Li Guang lie in them. After traveling for more than ten miles, Guang pretended to be dead. He saw that there was a hu er riding a good horse beside him. Suddenly, he flew up on hu er's horse, pushed hu er down, took his bow and arrow, and whipped his horse southward. Hundreds of Huns came to chase them. As he galloped, he took his bow and shot the pursuers, so he got out of danger and returned to the Han army. According to the law of Han Dynasty, Guang was captured in this battle, and many of his subordinates lost their lives. He should be sentenced to death and redeemed as a civilian. A few years later, Xiongnu soldiers invaded the border, killed the prefect of western Liaoning and defeated general Han Anguo. So Emperor Wu began to use it as the right governor of Peking. After hearing this, the Xiongnu called him "Han Zhifei general" and kept away from him. They did not dare to enter youpeiping for several years. Guang often goes out hunting. When he sees a big stone in the grass, he mistakenly thinks it is a tiger, but he shoots the stone without an arrow.

General Li Guang didn't talk about array or attack and fight, but he attached great importance to reconnaissance and keeping watch and mastering the enemy's situation. The family has no surplus, and it never talks about the purchase of property. The reward is given to the subordinates, and the food is no different from that of the soldiers. When encountering a place short of food and water, he did not go to eat and drink until all the soldiers had finished eating and drinking. He is honest, generous and not demanding, so he is loved by soldiers and is willing to serve him in the battlefield.

In 119 B.C. (the fourth year of Yuanshou reign of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty), general Wei Qing and general Huo Qubing attacked Xiongnu on a large scale. Guang asked several times to go out with the army, but Emperor Wu refused. Because of his old age, he later agreed to his request and made him a former general. After leaving the fortress, Wei Qing captured the prisoner. When he knew where Shan Yu was, he led his elite troops to pursue him. That is to say, Guang and right General Zhao Shiqi sent troops to the host country. Guang knows the inside story and takes the initiative to explain the reason to Wei Qing. He is willing to take the forward and fight Shan Yu to the death first. Originally, Wei Qing wanted to go with his good friend, general Gongsun Ao, to perform meritorious service. At the same time, he was secretly instructed by Emperor Wu to think that Guang was old and had a bad fate, so he could not be a forward. He was afraid that he might lose the chance, so he did not listen to Li Guang. He left in anger. The host had no guide; he lost his way in the desert, and his army was delayed, falling behind the general. General Wei Qing fought against Shan Yu and ran away. Weiqing crossed the desert and returned to the south. Meet Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi, ask about the situation of lost road, prepare to report to Emperor Wu. There is no answer. Wei Qing sent the chief Shi to the guangshogunate for verification. Li Guang said: "Zhu Xiaowei is not guilty, and Guang has lost his way." After returning to the camp, guangjiefa told his subordinates: "guangjiefa (adult Shufa) fought more than 70 battles with the Xiongnu. Now he was lucky to receive Shan Yubing from the general's army, and the general sent (mobilized) guangbu to travel far (detour) and lose his way. Is it not heaven? Guangjiefa is more than 60 years old, and he can't return to the official who is in charge of swords and pens." After that, he committed suicide with a knife. All the officers and soldiers under Li Guang's command and all the people in the army cried. After hearing this, people, old and young, shed tears.

When he committed suicide, not only did everyone mourn, but also Sima Qian, a great historian, wrote biographies for him. We should give him a high appraisal of his talent and deep sympathy for his misfortune,

He made his name go down in history.

Li Guang's hometown is where today's Qincheng District of Tianshui city is located. In the west of the city, there is a house for Li's descendants in feijiang lane; in shimaping Township, there is a tomb for Li Guang, which is the tomb of the general. During the Qingming Festival, most of the people come here to visit the tombs and remember the sages.
