Chapter 54 Chapter 54: The Fire of Hatred

After General Li Guang committed suicide, all the soldiers under his command burst into tears.The people who cried were not only the subordinates, but even the common people shed tears for the tragic end of this unlucky general.As mentioned earlier, General Li Guang's eldest son Danghu died very early.Danghu resembles his father, a man with a lot of backbone.He used to serve in the court, attached to the officer of the Praetorian Guard. There is a famous story about Li Danghu.At that time, there was a man named Han Yan in the court. Although his name was feminine, he was actually a man of six feet.Not only that, but he is also the great-grandson of Han Wangxin, a descendant of a famous family.

Han Yan has a "school friend" relationship with Emperor Wu, and he once accompanied the emperor to study when he was young.The relationship between Han Yan and Emperor Wu is more extraordinary than ordinary childhood friends. This point is known to everyone in the entire court. "Masculinity" is called "Zhongdao" in Japan, but there seems to be no such word in China.The word "masculine style" in the book, and the record of "often lying down with the emperor (emperor)" in the history books refer to this. Han Yan was the object of Emperor Wu's obsession with breaking sleeves.In this way, you may imagine that he is a coy male prostitute, but in fact he is not only a master of riding and archery, but also has learned the art of war, he is a man among men.It is not surprising that he, who relies on the emperor's favor, is somewhat proud of his attitude.

——That kid is very good at putting on airs, as if he doesn't care about our Imperial Guard general at all.I really want to beat him up! Such words are often said among the bloody officers of the Imperial Guard.However, they were just talking, and no one dared to actually do it. ——I was really angry, but there was nothing I could do. It can only be said but not done-they gnash their teeth and wrists for this. "Okay, I'll beat him up and show you!" Li Guang's son, Li Danghu, made such a threat and waited for the opportunity.This is not a joke, maybe the head will be cut off.

One day, Han Yan went to the tomb of Baling (the tomb of Emperor Wendi), and the tip of his saber sheath touched the mausoleum. When Li Danghu saw this, he immediately rushed forward and punched Han Yan on the head several times. "Someone smashed the mausoleum! Come and catch this person!" Not only did Han Yan not dare to fight back, she even ran away with a livid face.He must rush to Weiyang Palace as soon as possible to ask Emperor Wu for mercy.The crime of destroying the buildings in the mausoleum deserves death.In fact, this matter should first check whether the mausoleum was indeed destroyed, but he was so frightened that he was out of his wits, and he didn't have the time to think about it for a while.

"It's the son of that bull-tempered old guy. Isn't like father like son? Look at the situation, probably the only way is to use 'coaxing'..." Emperor Wu, who was begged by Han Yan, summoned Li Danghu and said to him: "Danghu, you have done a good job, and I want to give you a big compliment. Han Yan will definitely not be able to take it if you are so powerful by Kong Wu Right? However, he didn't do that on purpose. You have already punished him for me, let's let this matter go." As a result, Li Danghu took advantage of it for nothing. Li Danghu died before his father Li Guang.His wife was pregnant when he died.The child born was named Ling.

Li Ling later became a military commander no less than his grandfather.But it's not just martial arts that rivals his grandfather, even his bad luck. Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records", was castrated for defending the defeat of the tragic general Li Ling, which was later. Li Jiao, the younger brother of Li Danghu, who became the prefect of Daijun, also died before his father.After Li Guang died, only his youngest son Li Gan was left. Li Gan's bravery is as mentioned above. During the fourth year of the Yuanshou campaign, Li Gan and his father went off separately, and they belonged to Huo Qubing's army.His performance on the battlefield this time is particularly impressive.

In this year's battle, General Wei Qing and Hussar General Huo Qubing split into two armies, each with brilliant achievements, the latter's victory was greater than the former's. Huo Qubing lost more than 70,000 soldiers in the battle with the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's army, while Wei Qing's victory was less than 20,000, a difference of more than three times. After the war, Wei Qing was not granted a title when discussing rewards for meritorious deeds, while Huo Qubing received 5,800 titles.None of Wei Qing's subordinates was granted the title of Marquis, while among Huo Qubing's generals, there were five who were given the title of Marquis, and two who were already Marquis were given the title.

Li Gan set up the great honor of winning the drum flag of Zuo Xianwang. At that time, the army used drums or flags to convey orders. Therefore, snatching them was tantamount to paralyzing the enemy.He was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei for this work. The Marquis of Guannei was not granted any territory, but just a title, a formal feudal lord.Even so, as far as Li Gan's experience is concerned, it is already a great honor.It was an honor his father dreamed of but never got. But he didn't enjoy it.Instead, he flew into a rage.The reason, of course, was because of his father's suicide.

It was the general who killed my father! Li Gan, who was as emotional as his father, would not let him go even if the opponent was a general, and was determined to take revenge with one arrow. He remembered that his dead brother was in charge.就是把天子宠爱的韩嫣痛揍一顿的哥哥。Okay, I'll follow my brother's lead and find a chance to beat up the general! But Wei Qing, who was born as a slave, is rigorous, unlike Han Yan who is proud of being favored, so there is no room for him to take advantage of it. Once the fire of hatred is ignited, he will not hesitate to throw his head away - Li Gan is such a strong personality.

"I don't have the patience to wait any longer!" His mood was so up and down. Just find Wei Qing to fight and beat him up!Whatever happens in the future, don't worry about him!Fight for anything - oh yeah, just pretend to be drunk! There are plenty of opportunities to drink.And according to many past examples, everyone knows that Li Gan's wine quality is not very good.It must not be surprising to people to beat up their boss while drunk, right?At least people don't think he did it on purpose. "Hey, buddy!" After a banquet, Li Gan started pestering Wei Qing.

"It really started..." Wei Qing immediately had this reaction. For the matter of General Li Guang, the innocent son Li Gan might take revenge in some form - Wei Qing had already expected this from Li Gan's expression and attitude. "What's your business?" Wei Qing asked Li Gan who started pestering him. "Today's wine is really bad, it's all because of you." Li Gan said. He deliberately spoke in a drunken tone, but Wei Qing knew very well that the other party was not drunk at all. "See how you prepare!" The other party is a guy who is not afraid of death, he can do anything.Wei Qing, who has a lot of experience in the world, believes that if the opponent's purpose is to hit someone, he is willing to endure a few punches.But if the other party intends to kill, it is another matter.He was only wary of Li Gan coming to the truth. "Why is it because of me?" Wei Qing asked. "It's because of you that I say it's because of you. All the wine in the world is getting so bad!" Li Gan grabbed the general's lapel. "The other party doesn't seem to have the intention to kill..." Wei Qing saw the other party's psychology, and heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, with a bang, Wei Qing felt the pain on his left cheek go straight to his heart and lungs, it turned out that Li Gan had already swung his iron fist to hit him.Immediately afterwards, another old punch hit the right cheek again. Wei Qing staggered and fell to the ground on the spot. His back was quickly kicked several times by Li Gan. The general asked Li Gan to vent to his heart's content, without any resistance at all. "I want to show you how good I am...you know how powerful I am now!" Li Gan yelled loudly as he stomped on the back of the general who fell to the ground. At this time, someone ran over. "I didn't take your life, you should be grateful!" Li Gan left the place quickly after saying this. It turned out that it was Huo Qubing who ran over. "Uncle! What's the matter with you?" Huo Qubing hastily picked up the general who was called his uncle. "nothing……" "Your forehead is bleeding, how could it be nothing!?... The person who just walked away seems to be Li Gan, could it be that he treats you..." "Qubing, let's let this matter go, you know? If it gets out, it won't be good for my reputation, so just pretend it never happened. If I get punched a few times, I won't do anything..." "But……" "Remember what I said, don't say it!" Wei Qing said in a stern tone. "Yes." Huo Qubing replied like this, but he seemed to be sullen. Although he is a member of the tribe, compared to Wei Qing who was a slave, Huo Qubing has been a son of a nobleman since he was sensible.Therefore, self-esteem is particularly strong.What Uncle Wei Qing can bear, he may not be able to bear. Especially this time. Being beaten in vain as the emperor's relative - this was absolutely unbearable for the young Huo Qubing. Let this matter go, don't let it out—although he nodded when his uncle said this, Huo Qubing had no intention of doing nothing. If you hit someone with your hands, such a person must be put to death.If you dare to offend our family, you must kill it! ——A flame of hatred burned in Huo Qubing's heart. Huo Qubing finally seized this opportunity while accompanying the hunting presided over by the Son of Heaven. Bows and arrows can of course be carried when hunting, and horses can be galloped.Li Gan was also in the entourage. "Li Gan was killed, no one would think that I did it?" Huo Qubing thought. Many people knew that Li Gan hated Wei Qing because of his father, but it had nothing to do with Huo Qubing.Because the matter of Wei Qing's beating has never been publicized. He was waiting for an opportunity when no one was around.Since the hunting ground is a wide area, such opportunities are easy to find. Huo Qubing pretended to pick up the hunted animals, hid behind a tree, and quickly shot arrows at Li Gan who was riding on horseback.An arrow hit the cheek, and Li Gan fell off his horse.Huo Qubing ran forward, pulled out the arrow, and stabbed the opponent's heart with a knife. "This is the crime you deserve!" He said this in a low voice, but when he saw many people running towards him, he immediately changed his voice and shouted: "What's the matter with you? Get up!" ——Li Dare was injured by antlers while hunting and died. This is the report from above. Although Wei Qing forbade Huo Qubing to tell the story of his beating, but to Emperor Wu, he reported everything in detail. "So it was Huo Qubing who avenged my uncle..." Hearing that Li Gan was injured and killed by antlers, Emperor Wu immediately noticed this.It is absolutely impossible for Li Gan, who is as superb in martial arts as his father, a famous tiger hunter, to die from the injury of antlers. Speaking of hunting—the death of Han Yan, who was loved by Emperor Wu, was also related to hunting. It happened when Emperor Wu's younger brother, King Jiangdu, went to Beijing. —Let's go hunting together! In response to the emperor's edict, King Jiangdu came to Shanglin Garden, the royal hunting ground.When he saw a luxurious carriage passing by under the guard of more than a hundred warriors, the king of Jiangdu told his followers to step back and knelt down on the side of the road to meet the emperor. In fact, it was not Emperor Wu who sat in the carriage, but Han Yan who came first to check the hunting ground.Han Yan ignored the existence of King Yu Jiangdu and drove away. King Jiangdu was furious about this.He ran to the Empress Dowager and said tearfully, "My son is willing to return the enfeoffed country, serve in the palace, and enjoy the same treatment as Han Yan." The empress dowager hated Han Yan who dared to despise the royal family. As a favored minister, Han Yan was able to freely enter and leave Yongxiang (the dormitory for palace ladies) where men other than the emperor were not allowed to enter. The person who holds the power in the harem is the empress dowager.The reason for this is that the emperor, as a man, should not be bothered by women's affairs. The empress dowager used a rare trick. ——Han Yan has an affair with the court lady. For this reason, the empress dowager sent an envoy to Han Yan and ordered him to commit suicide. Emperor Wu was panicked, and hurriedly asked his mother for orders on Han Yan's behalf, but was not accepted by the empress dowager. ——I have the responsibility of managing the harem.Let Han Yan go, how can I manage in the future! In this regard, Emperor Wu was speechless.
