Therefore, the talented emperor of Han Dynasty, resolutely appointed Wei Qing, who had been born in the early years, as the general of the chariot, and sent a great hope to defeat the Huns. This time, the emperor of Han Wu also painstakingly divided the soldiers into four ways. Wei Qing sent troops from Shanggu County, general Gongsun Ao from the generation, and light truck general Gongsun he sent troops from the cloud (now northeast of toketo, Inner Mongolia). The striking flying General Li Guang sent troops from Yanmen. They each carried 10000 fine horses, and surrounded the Hun army near the border trade market. Results in addition to the first time Wei Qing played a Kaige, directly rammed Longcheng (the holy land where the Huns worshiped the ancestors of heaven and earth), cut 700 enemies, breaking the myth that Huns had not failed for many years. The historical significance was very important and greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the Han people“ The military genius of Wei Qing, who rode slaves, also made the emperor bright, and from then on, Wei Qing had a lot of success in singing.
Unfortunately, the Han Army on the other three roads failed both ways and returned without success. Gongsun he returned empty handed. Gongsun Ao lost 7000 soldiers. The most humiliating thing was Li Guang, who was very capable of fighting with the famous "flying general". He was not only defeated in a mess, but also was captured by Huns as the commander of the army. This is a big shame.
Li Guang, who once played the Huns in a dazzled face, was cleverly seized the Huns' mount by pretending to be dead and paralyzing the enemy. He ran back to Han country by beating horses, so he would be more embarrassed and more embarrassed. No wonder Wang Bo, a poet in Tang Dynasty, has left a sigh of "Li guangdifficult to seal" for such a "achievement". After all, you are a real loser and have nothing to say.
In fact, although Li Guang is very capable of fighting and is popular with soldiers, he is not very popular with "governing the army" (relative to the Orthodox), and almost "the people and the army are in love with the fish and water". You take my chest and I pat your thighs. What the family loves to do is do what it is. It is very pleasant and easy to say. Li Guang has fought with Hun army for more than 70 times in his life, and he is brave and difficult to seal the Hou, Finally, the most tragic suicide was still alive, probably related to his military management mode.
Some people have summed up the deep reasons for Li Guang's bad luck in his life, such as his bad luck, and his personality defects. He was finally run by his competitors and abandoned by the emperor who didn't have a good impression on him. The most important thing is that he was too eager to fight, often out of his mind and lost in the absence of discipline and no rules, It's like diving athletes often fail in pursuing difficult movements (for example, he often flies to the enemy's eyes to set off arrows, and indeed has a hundred shots and hundreds of results).
According to the general study of the Zizhi, Li Guang, who was stationed in Yunzhong County in June, was removed from office in June, which was stationed in Yunzhong county. At the same time, another general who was dismissed was unknown. He was stationed in Yanmen county at that time.
The two brothers took the opposite approach. Li Guang did not have a fixed formation and ranks of troops. He always emphasized on-site play and contingency, and most of them had some effect. Anyway, Li Guang used soldiers and liked to be innovative and innovative. He always liked to choose a place where water and grass were rich and beautiful to be stationed. Then everyone would be free to let go of sheep. You can even gamble money. Besides sending scouting guards to monitor the enemy in the far away place, the Chinese books of the army are simple and extremely simple and are in the same shape and are empty, But few things happen; Another general, who did not know exactly the opposite, emphasized discipline, paid attention to procedures, often overtime, prepared unremitting, and it was OK to happen. Cheng did not know that he had made a good comparison between the two different methods of war, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The final result was that Huns were more afraid of Li Guang, and the soldiers were more willing to follow him to fight. He was free.
Therefore, simaguang, a historical bull, once evaluated that Li Guang's tactics of war were ferocious and rare. This can be seen from Li Guang's life of the rough experience in the army. Throughout his life, Emperor Wen, Jing and Han Wu fought with Hun for a lifetime, "but flying dragon city in, not teaching Hu Madu Yinshan", Xiongnu was afraid of the tiger like general, and finally because of the frequent situation of military use, he lost his way in the war of North indi, and failed to participate in the war during the loss period. He was afraid of being judged guilty of suicide and made people sigh.
For Li Guang's "unconventional" use of soldiers, simaguang said: "Yi" said: "teachers to learn to law, no Zang evil." The general idea is that the army must have strict discipline when it moves out, otherwise it will be ferocious whether it wins or fails. Li Guang fell into a bad situation. He always had loose discipline in the war. Everyone was self-discipline, almost "there was a joke in the army". In other words, no words would be necessary to travel, and there would always be deviation and even failure.
If only by Li Guang's talent, the common people may win, but if we want to promote it, it will be harmful! Because, in the end, human nature is easy and evil. If there is no strict military discipline, if there is no such a military God as Li Guang, who can live in the town, he will inevitably fail because he is in a disorderly formation when approaching the disaster.
Therefore, even if Cheng didn't know how to run the army, he would have rules to follow, evidence to advance and retreat, and no confusion. Even if he couldn't win the war, he could still guarantee that he would not lose or lose in a mess; However, if we use Li Guang's method, we can rarely avoid the end of the whole army, which is not worth the loss.
Based on this, although fighting with Li Guang was very flexible, arbitrary and pleasant, it was easy to go up and down because he was too erratic and disorganized. Sometimes the commander was captured when he lost. After he was captured alive by the Huns in 129 BC, he was almost executed by the military law. Finally, he used money to atone for his loss before he was demoted and escaped.
Why is it that Wei Qing, who is both a pioneer and a soldier of low birth, can always win? Because Wei Qing is a military genius with broad vision and high vision. In addition to being brave and resourceful, he also has the ability of overall planning that ordinary people don't have. He has the basis to advance and retreat, and eventually becomes a great weapon. Li Guang, though fighting a lot, was too erratic. In the last battle, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not allow him to confront the enemy head-on, which reflected Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a wise emperor.
In a word, after Wei Qing's first battle, which broke the Hun's invincible gold body, the Huns had endless nightmares. After ten years of fierce pursuit (later, Wei Qing also won seven battles and seven victories), in 119 BC (the fourth year of Yuanshou reign of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty), general Wei Qing defeated Yi Zhixie Chanyu, and Hussar general Huo Qubing defeated Zuo Xian, the Hun king, and granted the wolf residence in Xushan, From then on, it completely solved the problem of Xiongnu, and also made Emperor Wu of Han set up the "peerless martial arts" which was admired by all generations, which can be said to be a great delight to the people.
