General Li has a broad mind, and Longxi is a disciplined person. Its first name was Li Xin 1, a general in the Qin Dynasty, and the one who won the Yan Taizi Dan one by one. Therefore, in the tree, migration becomes discipline. Guang Jia has been shot for generations. In the 14th year of Emperor Xiaowen, the Xiongnu entered Xiaoguan, which was widely used by good scholars. They joined the army to attack Hu, were good at riding and shooting, and killed many roads, thus becoming Hanzhong Lang.
Cai Li, Guangcong's younger brother, is also A Lang. Both of them are constant attendants of Wu Qi, ranking 800 stone. If you want to do something, you will be a beast. Emperor Wen said, "Sorry, times are not good!" If your son becomes Emperor Gao, why are there feet everywhere? "
At the beginning of Xiaojing, he was widely regarded as a captain in Longxi and moved to ride General A Lang. When Wu was a soldier, he was widely used as a captain. He attacked Wu from Taiwei Yafu, captured the banner, and made a name for himself under Changyi. And Liang Wang awarded general print, the same, is not a reward. Moving to Shanggu Prefecture, Xiongnu will fight Japan together. Gong Sunkun, a classical country, cried bitterly: "Li Guang is brilliant, and he is conceited in his ability to travel westward, and he is afraid of his death and fights with the enemy."
So he moved to the Shang Jun area. Later, he was transferred to the border county satrap and moved to the county. Taste for Longxi, Beidi, Yanmen, Dai Jun, Yuntai Shou, all under the banner of happeneth.
Vernacular translation:
General Li Guang is from Ji Cheng County, Longxi. His ancestor was Li Xin, who was a general in the Qin Dynasty. He was the general who captured Yan Taizi Dan. His home used to be in Li Huai County, but later he moved to Ji Cheng.
Li Guang's family has been learning archery for generations. In the 14th year of Emperor Wendi (BC 166), the Xiongnu invaded Xiaoguan by mobilizing troops, and Li Guang joined the army as a son of a good family to fight against the Xiongnu. Because he was good at riding and shooting, he killed many enemies' heads, so he was appointed as the deputy commander of Hanting. Li Guang's cousin Cai Li was also appointed captain. Both of them are constant attendants of Wuqi, with an annual salary of 800 stone grains.
Li Guang used to travel with the emperor. He often took the lead, resisted the enemy and killed wild animals. Emperor Wen said, "What a pity! You haven't had a good time yet. If you are catching up with the Gaozu era, is it still a problem to seal a family? "
After Emperor Jingdi acceded to the throne, Li Guang served as a captain in Longxi and was appointed as a cavalry general. When the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Li Guang was appointed as a captain, followed Qiu Zhou Yafu to fight against the rebels in Wu Chu, and captured the enemy flag at the gates of Changyi, making great contributions.
However, because Liang Xiaowang privately awarded General Dayin to Li Guang, the court did not raise him after he returned to North Korea. He was transferred to Shanggu County, and the Xiongnu came to fight every day. Sun Kun, a classical country, cried to the emperor: "Li Guang's talent, traveling westward, has repeatedly confronted the enemy with his own ability, and I am afraid he will lose this good general."
So he was appointed as the chief of Shangjun County. Later, Li Guang was transferred to the border county satrap, and was transferred to Shang Jun county magistrate. He was a magistrate in Longxi, Beidi, Yanmen, Dai Jun and Yunzhong. They are all famous for their hard work.

Creative background:
In the process of Emperor Wudi's conquest of Xiongnu, countless brave heroes emerged. Sima Qian had to make biographies for them, and it was impossible to make biographies for them one by one. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have to write, because they are the commanders of three large-scale expeditions to the Huns. In addition, Sima Qian chose Li Guang. This is caused by many factors.
Li Guang is good at riding and shooting, calm and witty, caring for foot soldiers, and has the quality of a good soldier; Li Guang has been guarding the border for decades, and the Xiongnu invaded, with outstanding military achievements and far-reaching fame. The Huns called him "the flying general of the Han Dynasty", which led them to avoid it. Li Guang said that "it is not uncommon for him to attack the Huns from the Han Dynasty", that is, he experienced the whole process of conquering the Huns and was qualified as a general.
These are conditions that cannot be ignored. But more importantly, I'm afraid it's the unfortunate experience of Li Guang. Li Guang experienced three dynasties: Wen, Jing and Wu. Wendi moved to the corps commander because of his meritorious service in fighting against Xiongnu. Wendi's business is to share the interest with the people and don't want to make a move. Therefore, although he praised his talent, he regretted his "untimely birth".
Jingdi participated in Pingwu and Chuqi rebellion, and repeatedly made meritorious military service. However, due to the seal of the general Wang, Liang's exploits were cancelled. Liang Wudi went to Xiongnu on a large scale. It is reasonable to say that Li Guang can make great achievements, but Liang Wudi reused his consorts, and no one believed the fame of other generals. Besides, Li Guang was upright and strong, and neither Emperor Wu of Han nor Wei Qing liked him.
In addition, Li Guang is honest, and every defeat is attributed to his subordinates; Every time he was defeated, he took the initiative to take the blame, and he was rewarded for his merits, which naturally failed him. Li Guang fought all his life, but he didn't get a seal, which was caused by many factors. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said "curious", he just made excuses for refusing to reuse Li Guang. In the whole war of conquering Xiongnu, after all, there were very few people who sealed Hou.
