Section 3 Li Guangli’s curse on the Huns

Zhaojun is talented and beautiful, but the king has never known what happened. He wandered around without any plans to stay, and once married the Xiongnu country. The Xiongnu country was dark and dusty, and Zhaojun's beauty astonished the people of the country. Chanyu sighed in horror that he had never seen him before, and he was willing to protect him.

The vassal ministers have always been corrupted by beauties, and praised Da Liji and Xizi. The Yuhuan Feiyan is even more excellent, and its infamy will last for thousands of years. Mao Sheng is good at painting, which has never been seen in ancient times, and he forcibly makes beautiful paintings beautiful and ugly. But he teaches beauties to reject them.

Alas, I can serve the king with all my loyalty and benefits.

After the death of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, the old generals of the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che cultivated a group of rising stars. These people include Li Ling, Su Wu, Huo Guang, Shangguan Jie and others. Now Liu Che is preparing to launch a war with the Xiongnu.

Then these young generals came in handy.

Among these people, Li Ling had the highest background and talent. His grandfather was Li Guang, the famous flying general of the Huns.

Li Ling was not only good at riding and shooting, but also able to treat virtuous corporals. Liu Che had a special regard for him from the beginning and once asked him to lead 800 cavalrymen to conduct reconnaissance of more than 2,000 miles into the Xiongnu. Li Ling completed the task brilliantly.

Liu Che has always had a habit of reusing his brother-in-law. Li Guangli was originally just a street gangster, but because his sister Mrs. Li was favored by Liu Che, he was reused. Later, he led his troops to conquer Dawan, and after returning to China, he

He was granted the title of Marquis, but Li Ling was still unconvinced.

During this expedition, Li Ling was originally assigned to be responsible for the logistics support of Li Guangli's army. However, Li Ling believed that his grandfather was a famous general who fought against the Huns, and he was not convinced that he was asked to do such a thing now. So he ran to Liu Che.

He responded to the situation and expressed the idea that he could lead a group of troops alone to attack the Huns.

Li Ling's move immediately aroused Liu Che's disgust, because what Liu Che hated most was when others opposed his strategic deployment. So Liu Che ruthlessly rejected Li Ling, but Li Ling did not give up. He also proposed that he could refer to the 05,000 infantry attack unit.

When Yu Ting said this, even Liu Che was shocked. Because this was something that neither Wei Qing nor Huo Qubing dared to do. After Li Ling said this, Liu Che admired him very much. And he

As long as there are 5,000 infantry, even if all 5,000 infantry are sacrificed, the loss to the Han Dynasty will not be great. Moreover, Liu Che very much hopes to cultivate another famous general who can make the Xiongnu fearful, so Liu Che agreed to his request and gave him 5,000 infantry.

He attacked the Huns.

Liu Che was still not at ease, so he asked Lu Bode to lead the army to meet Li Ling on the way. Lu Bode was also arrogant, and he was unwilling to help Li Ling. So he also proposed to lead the army alone.

After expressing this idea, Liu Che was very angry. If all the generals asked for separate troops like Li Ling and Lu Bode, then where would Liu Che's majesty be?

Liu Che made new battle arrangements. Li Guangli, Li Ling, Lu Bode and Gongsun Ao each led a group of troops. Qie Tihou believed that Li Guangli became a general due to nepotism, while Li Ling was young and energetic. He believed that these two groups of Han troops

It was easier to fight, so we concentrated our main forces to attack these two Han armies.

Li Guangli led 30,000 cavalrymen to encounter the Xiongnu Youxian King's tribe in the Tianshan area. Li Guangli killed 10,000 Xiongnu people. He decided to give up when he was ready, but on his way back, he encountered Qie Tihou who came to rescue him.

The main force, Li Guangli, managed with great difficulty to break out of the siege with less than 10,000 people.

This war allowed Qie Tihou to regain his confidence, so he led the army to find Li Ling's tribe. The Huns surrounded the Liling army in the middle of two mountains. Li Ling took his time and made battle arrangements immediately. The Huns army launched an attack

, thousands of arrows were fired from the Han army, and the Huns soldiers fell one after another.

Marquis Jiti knew that this battle was not easy to fight, so he ordered the wise kings on the left and right to lead 80,000 cavalry reinforcements, this time carrying all the property of the people on the chest.

Li Ling's men were infantry after all, and the army was besieged in the valley. The Han army unleashed its fury on the Huns, who suffered numerous casualties. Li Ling finally led his men to escape, but ended up in a large swamp.

Jie Tihou caught up and attacked Li Ling's army again. Here, the Huns' cavalry could not take advantage of it, so they were defeated by the Han army again.

In fact, Li Ling's army is about to run out of ammunition and food. Although the army's combat effectiveness is still very strong, if this situation continues, it will not be able to sustain it. On the other hand, on the Xiongnu side, Qie Tihou has suffered several defeats, and he also wants to

Withdraw the troops. But at this time, one of Li Ling's subordinates defected to the Huns because he was punished by his superiors. The Huns also knew the actual situation of Liling's army.

Knowing the truth, the Xiongnu Chanyu immediately ordered a fierce attack on Li Ling's army. Li Ling led his men to fight and retreat, and finally reached a place hundreds of miles away from the border of the Han Dynasty. At this time, there were more than 3,000 people around Li Ling. But at this time they

There was not much food in hand, so he had to temporarily retreat into a canyon. At dusk, Li Ling decided to go out alone to fight to the death with the Huns. After a while, Li Ling came back, and after he came back, he attacked his subordinates.

Said it failed this time.

His subordinates all advised him to surrender, but Li Ling refused to listen. In order to keep the soldiers alive, Li Ling ordered the army to break out in separate ways. In the end, more than 400 people successfully broke through and returned to Chang'an, while the rest were all killed in the battle. Li Ling himself was exhausted and captured.

, he had no choice but to pretend to surrender to the Huns.

In order to win over Li Ling and make him king, Jie Tihou even married a Hun princess to him. However, he was not completely at ease with Li Ling and was still always on guard against him.

The news of Li Ling's surrender to the Huns reached Chang'an. Liu Che was very angry. Sima Qian, the Taishi official, did not believe that Li Ling was such a person, so he defended him. For this, Sima Qian was castrated.

Liu Che was unwilling to fail, so in 97 BC, Liu Che's troops were divided into three groups to attack the Huns again. This time the Han army still had no results, but he learned from a Huns prisoner that there was now a man named Li Shaoling.

The Han people were training troops for the Huns. In fact, this man's name was Li Xu, and his courtesy name was Shaoling, not Li Ling. But Liu Che had lost his mind, and he immediately ordered all of Li Ling's family members in Chang'an to be killed. It was not known until later that Liu Che

I knew I was wrong to kill.

When Li Ling was in the Huns, he learned the news that his whole family had been killed. From then on, he no longer worried about it. Qie Tihou was also very happy. He thought that Li Ling would work wholeheartedly for the Huns from now on. Qie Tihou asked Li Ling to come again.

Beihai persuaded Su Wu to surrender. Su Wu expressed deep sympathy after hearing about Li Ling's experience, but Su Wu did not surrender.

A year later, Marquis Qiti, who dreamed of defeating the Han Dynasty, died.

Marquis Ti had two sons. Originally, after his death, Wang Wei was succeeded by his eldest son, who was King Zuo Xian, but he never came. Therefore, the Xiongnu nobles supported his second son, General Zuo, as General Zuo.

When the ceremony was about to be held, King Zuo Xian came. General Zuo wanted to give up his throne to him. Although King Zuo Xian refused, King Zuo Xian finally succeeded as the Chanyu. King Zuo Xian felt that

I felt sorry for my younger brother, so he vowed that if he died unfortunately, he would pass on the position of Chanyu to his younger brother. This is the Chanyu of Fox Deer Gu.

Hulu Gu Shanyu kept her promise and made her younger brother the King of Zuoxian after he succeeded to the throne. Unfortunately, his brother died soon after, and his nephew thought he could succeed King Zuoxian. But Hulu Gu

Gu Shanyu said, I promised to let your father succeed to the throne, but I did not promise to pass the throne to you. So Hulu Gu Shanyu made his son the king of Zuoxian and his nephew Xianxian Shan the king of Zuoxian.

Xiao Guan'er, Xianxian Shan felt very depressed, so he drank and cursed people all day long.

Since the Han and Hungarian sides had been fighting for years, each other's countries needed to recuperate, so the two sides temporarily suspended the war.

After six years of repair, the Xiongnu army became stronger again, so Shanyu Hulugu ordered another army to attack the ancient and Wuyuan counties of the Han Dynasty. Liu Che happened to be considering setting out to attack the Xiongnu again. At this time, he heard that the Xiongnu took the initiative to attack the Han Dynasty.

They immediately took this opportunity to launch a large-scale military attack on the Xiongnu.

Liu Che sent Li Guangli to lead an army to fight against the Huns. Although Li Guangli was the commander, he staged a farce in this war.

At the beginning of the war, the Han army was progressing smoothly. The Huns hid in the city and did not dare to come out, so Li Guangli prepared to return in triumph.

But at this time, news came from Chang'an that the prime minister had been accused of a crime. Since the prime minister was Li Guangli's father-in-law, his wife was also imprisoned because of this incident. Li Guangli wanted to take this opportunity to continue to fight against the Huns.

, use greater victory to save his wife.

So Li Guangli ignored the danger and led the army deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu. The Han army encountered the Xiongnu general Zuo, and the Xiongnu soldiers suffered heavy casualties. However, Li Guangli was not satisfied and continued to attack the hinterland. Hulu Gu Shanyu personally led 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry to attack the Han army

, Li Guangli suffered a disastrous defeat and had no choice but to order a refusal to defend at Yanran Mountain.

The Xiongnu army continued to launch fierce attacks on the Han army, and finally Li Guangling surrendered to the Huns. Hulu Gu Shanyu also married his daughter to Li Guangli. This time the Han Dynasty's military operation against the Xiongnu suffered another disastrous defeat, so Hulu

Gu Shanyu was even more unscrupulous. He sent a letter of credence to Liu Che and wanted to restart the peace policy with the Han Dynasty. He also proudly asked the Han Dynasty to send a large amount of property.

Liu Che believed that these conditions were undoubtedly extortion from the Han Dynasty, but after so many years of settling accounts, the wealth accumulated during Wenjing's rule had been exhausted. Although Liu Che was angry, he had no way to launch a large-scale military war, so he had to send

Envoys went to the Xiongnu to negotiate a truce.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Che issued an edict to apologize to the world.

After Li Guangli surrendered to the Xiongnu, the courtesy he received from the Xiongnu far exceeded that of his former favorite Weilu. So he wanted to get rid of Li Guangli unwillingly. Later, Hulu estimated that Shanyu's mother was seriously ill, and Weilu said it was because...

It was caused by the soul of Tihou. Only by using Li Guangli's head to pay tribute to Tihou can this matter turn around.

Hu Lugu Shanyu believed it was true and sent Li Guangli to the altar. Before Li Guangli died, he cursed, saying that I would destroy the Huns after my death. Hulugu Shanyu used Li Guangli's head for a few days, but his mother's illness still did not improve, and she did not

It didn't take long for him to die. And from then on, it seemed that Li Guangli's curse had come true, and disasters continued in the Xiongnu country.

Hulu Gu Chanyu began to realize that she had killed a good person by mistake and offended God, so she quickly appeased Li Guangli's resentful spirit.

In 87 BC, the 70-year-old Liu Che also died. After half a century of struggle with the Huns, Liu Che did not completely eliminate the Huns in his lifetime, but fundamentally reversed the strategic relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Huns. Liu Che's death marked the

The end of a glorious era, will the Huns get out of trouble because of the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Short story: "A journey of a hundred miles is half a mile." The last part of the road is often the most difficult threshold to cross. In fact, in everyone's life, whether in work or life, this will happen more or less.

Such extreme environments, or extreme dilemmas, sometimes require a little bit of perseverance and a little bit of hard work, and success can be within reach, instead of just passing by with regret.

In 1905, Laurence Chadwick became world famous for successfully crossing the English Channel. Two years later, she swam from Cardena Island to the beaches of California, hoping to set another unprecedented record.

That day, the sea was filled with thick fog and the water was bitingly cold. After swimming for 16 long hours, her lips were turned purple from the cold, her whole body was exhausted, and she was trembling. She turned her head and looked into the distance, only to see the fog in front of her, as if

The land was very far away from her. She couldn't see the coast yet, so it seemed like she wouldn't be able to swim the entire distance this time. As she thought about it, her body immediately went limp, and she didn't even have the strength to row again or get into the water.

"Drag me up!" she struggled to say to the people on the boat accompanying her.

"Bite your teeth and hold on, there's only one mile left." The people on the boat encouraged her. "You lied to me. If there were only one mile left, I should have seen the coast long ago. Drag me up, quickly.

, drag me up.'

So, Chadwick, who was shivering all over, was dragged aboard. The boat drove forward at full speed. Just as she wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and drank a cup of hot soup, the brown coastline emerged from the thick fog, and she

She could even vaguely see the cheering crowd waiting for her on the beach. Only then did she know that the people on the boat had not lied to her, and that she was indeed only one mile away from success.

The road becomes clear as you walk, it just depends on whether you dare to persevere. The mountain road has eighteen bends, but as long as you persevere, no matter how winding the road is, it can bring you to the other side of success. As long as you persevere, as long as you believe in yourself

Judgment, success is not far away. When you find that everyone is walking eastward, and the road you are walking northward is rugged and seems to have no end, please think again, and then keep going, and keep going.

You will succeed.

Legend has it that two people met the Wine Fairy by chance. On a whim, the Fairy passed on the method of making wine to them: take the plump wine on the Dragon Boat Festival, add the alpine springs where the ice and snow have just melted, blend the two, and infuse people with wine.

The pottery urn, which was made of purple sand that had been uninhabited for thousands of years, was covered tightly with the first new lotus that saw the rising sun in early summer, and was sealed for seven or forty-nine days. It could not be opened until the rooster crows three times on the forty-ninth day.

.

Just like every adventurer in every legend, these two people went through all kinds of hardships to start looking for materials. It was an extremely long process. It took them eight years to finally find all the materials and put them together.

They mixed and sealed together, and then waited patiently for that moment forty-nine days later. Victory seemed to be right in front of them.

The forty-ninth day arrived. The two of them were so excited that they could not sleep at night, waiting for the sound of the cockcrow. The first cockcrow came from the distance. After a long time, the second cockcrow sounded. However, the third

The sound of roosters crowing could not be heard. One of them couldn't bear it any longer. He opened his pottery jar and couldn't wait to take a sip. He was immediately shocked: Oh my god! This wine is like vinegar.

Sour. However, the big mistake had been made and could never be undone. He spilled the wine on the ground in extreme disappointment.

Although the other person couldn't help but wanted to reach out, he gritted his teeth and persisted until the third cockcrow. He scooped it out and took a sip, and shouted in surprise: What a sweet and mellow wine!

It was only a moment before the "vinegar water" turned into a fine wine. After eight years, I couldn't wait for the rooster to crow, so all my previous efforts were in vain. What a pity.
