Chapter 11 4. Sadness for farewell

Sima Qian defended others with his fearless body, and even defended his dignity and supreme pride.This kind of defense is soul-stirring and moves the world.Two thousand years later, it still seems to resound through the universe and shake my heart. Sima Qian's struggle and resistance were all written by him in the famous "Bao Ren An Shu".In the famous article that made ghosts and gods cry, Sima Qian revealed his inner secrets.The secret is that he did not abide by the rules of the political game, so that he ended up with a bleak life. Please note that Sima Qian did not abide by it, not because he did not understand politics.I strongly believe that he studies history, studies the world and humanities, and understands the code of politics better than anyone else.Because he understands it, he has held a breath of energy in his heart for many years.It is this spirit that has allowed the Chinese nation to last for thousands of years and stand tall in the world.This energy is called righteousness!

Sima Qian said in "Reporting to Ren Anshu" that he and Li Ling were just casual acquaintances, and the two were usually busy with their own business, and they never drank wine or talked happily together.The reason why he defended Li Ling was purely to say something fair.Because to be fair, to endure humiliation and endure the misery of the world, is it respectable or sad? I think, at that moment, the lonely Sima Qian must have realized a truth: Liu Che did not understand him for the time being, but one day he will definitely understand him in the future; feel proud. Facts have proved that after Liu Che ran Sima Qian, he regretted it.The reason why Liu Che regretted it was because he suddenly realized that Li Ling was really innocent.The reason why Liu Che thought that Li Ling was innocent was because he finally knew that he was deceived by that strong crossbow general Lu Bode.

When Li Ling was leaving the fortress, I originally sent General Qiangnu to meet the army, but when I was preparing to issue an edict, I was fooled by the old ghost Lu Bode. I really shouldn't blame Li Ling. These were Liu Che's guilty words from the bottom of his heart.In order to atone for his guilt, he rewarded all the soldiers under Li Ling who had fled and returned. Through the dark historical tunnel, I seemed to see a desolate and helpless expression on Liu Che's face.Yes, he should have repented, for the sake of those two innocent hapless bastards, Li Ling and Sima Qian.

In fact, Liu Che not only repented, but also prepared to take revenge.Revenge who?Huns.All the shame seems to come from the Huns.Before Zhao Ponu captured the Xiongnu, he had already endured it, but today Li Ling's army was beaten and maimed again, and he could not bear it anymore. In the fourth year of the Tianhan Dynasty, that is, 97 BC.Liu Che started. In this expedition to the Xiongnu, the main general is still the demon king Li Guangli.In order to put Li Guangli's piece of mud on the wall, Liu Che even moved out of his hometown.First of all, recruit troops from all over the country, and people with seven identities must join the expeditionary army.

The seven types of people are as follows: petty criminal official, first; fugitive prisoner, second; son-in-law at home, third; businessman, fourth; person with criminal record, fifth; Those who have been recorded in the case, six; those whose grandparents have criminal records are recorded, seven. In addition to the above compulsory enlistment into the army, there is also the so-called volunteer army.Putting it all together, there are a total of 210,000.The 210,000 men were distributed as follows: Li Guangli had 60,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry; the strong crossbow general Lu Bode had more than 10,000 cavalry to follow Li Guangli.Old Youtiao Lu Bode fooled Liu Che, causing Li Ling's army to go out alone and fail.He was not beheaded and still served as a general, which is really a rare talent.The guerrilla general Han said that he had 30,000 infantry; General Gongsun Ao had more than 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.

Li Guangli set off from Shuofang County (now the south bank of the North Yellow River in Hangjin Banner, Inner Mongolia); Han Shuo set off from Wuyuan County (now Baotou City, Inner Mongolia); Gongsun Ao set off from Yanmen County (now Youyu County, Shanxi Province). Of the above three troops, Li Guangli was the main offensive, focusing on dealing with the Xiongnu Shanyu Headquarters;In addition, Liu Che also gave Gongsun Ao a special task. This task is to welcome Li Ling back to Han. In my opinion, fighting a war is like playing football, you have to look at your feet first.The generals of the above three armies, except for the guerrilla general Han Shuo who made us unfamiliar, Li Guangli and Gongsun Ao, we generally know their footwork.Li Guangli is a true "Hong Kong foot", with extremely stinky footwork.

As for Gongsun Ao, I don't want to hurt him either.If it wasn't for Wei Qing, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to mess around today.After fighting for so many years, apart from paying a little respect to him and leading several brothers to rescue Wei Qing, he always made me scoff at him in his later military career. Liu Che organized such an expeditionary force to attack the Huns. It can only be said that the Han Dynasty is really deserted.No one has to fight.The army is on the move, even if they don't fight, they have to put on a show. Sure enough, Li Guangli was still pretending.The Xiongnu Shanyu heard that the Han army was coming from afar, so he moved urgently.Immediately moved to the south bank of the Tula River, and Chen Shiwan's army was waiting for Li Guangli.Soon, Li Guangli came.

What was the biggest advantage of Huo Qubing, a relative of his, back then?If you give him rice for thousands of people, he will dare to cook for thousands of people; what is the biggest advantage of Li Guangli now?If you give him rice for ten thousand people, you can only cook rice for a thousand people.It can be inferred that the Huns currently have 100,000 rice, and Li Guangli would have to have millions of rice before he dared to open it.But he and Lu Bode only have 140,000 meters, can he open the pot of the Huns? The answer is yes, no. Facts have proved that I am not bragging.Li Guangli's troops came to the Tula River and opened up battles with the Xiongnu. The two armies fought for more than ten days. Li Guangli seemed to have pretended enough and went back home knowingly.

Look at Gongsun Ao again.Gongsun Ao had a battle with Zuo Xianwang, but he was not good, so he also returned.Gongsun Ao knew that if he returned without success, he would definitely be scolded by the leader.However, this time he was sure that he would not be scolded.Because, he has already found someone to block the knife for him. This person turned out to be Li Ling. Gongsun Ao told Liu Che that the reason why I was disadvantaged was entirely because of Li Ling.Does Your Majesty know what Li Ling has been up to lately?According to the prisoners I captured, Li Ling was busy training soldiers in the Xiongnu army to guard against the Han army.

I've seen ruthless ones, but I've never seen such ruthless ones.You asked me to welcome Li Ling, why welcome him, he is playing a traitor with gusto. This is really a great irony.Confession, repentance, even confessed a huge ghost.Liu Che was furious.Next, Liu Che did something that made Li Ling, who was far away in the Huns' land, very sad.That is, Liu Che killed Li Ling's whole family, old and young. Liu Che seems to want to tell the world that being a traitor never ends well. In fact, Liu Che was fooled again this time. Indeed, there was a Han in the Xiongnu army who was training soldiers for the Huns.This person is also surnamed Li, but he is not Li Ling, but Li Xu.Everyone in the Han Dynasty knew when Li Xu became a traitor.At the beginning, Li Xu was the captain of the Han Dynasty; later, when the Huns attacked, Li Xu surrendered.After Li Xu became a traitor, he got along well with the Huns' Dayan clan.This Da Yan clan is the mother of Qi Da Hou Shanyu.

I don't know how people in the Han Dynasty pronounced the words Li Xu and Li Ling.If it sounds the same, God will kill Li Ling.If it's not the same pronunciation, I can only say that this is a bad move.This evil trick is that the Xiongnu deliberately used a trick to describe Li Xu as Li Ling, forcing Liu Che to kill Li Ling's family.Killing the whole family, and calling Li Ling to return to the Han Dynasty, ghosts don't believe it. High, really high.Gongsun Ao really got a big deal.Anyway, he was not at fault, and he spread the word as the captive said.He came out to fight, so how many people died in Li Ling's family has nothing to do with him.As long as he is not criticized by the leaders, he will be satisfied. At this time, Li Ling, who was far away in the sky, was also angry.What made him angry was that Liu Che was ruthless and unjust, and killed Li's family.But soon, Li Ling discovered that the person he hated should not be Liu Che, but that damned traitor Li Xu. It was the envoy of the Han Dynasty who told Li Ling the truth.One day, an envoy from the Han Dynasty came to see the Xiongnu. Li Ling scolded the envoy when they met: "I led 5,000 infantry soldiers and worked hard for the Han Dynasty. I am sorry for the Han Dynasty. Why did you want to kill my whole family?" The Han envoy said, the big man knows that you have tried your best.But why did you train for the Xiongnu and guard against the Han army.Isn't this suicidal? Only then did Li Ling suddenly realize.He immediately told the Han envoy that the instructor of the Huns was not Li Ling, but Li Xu. The truth came out.It turned out that it was the invisible hand that pushed Li Ling to the dark place of history. Li Ling wanted revenge.Subject: Li Xu.He sent someone to assassinate Li Xu.After killing Li Xu, he ran away. Li Ling had no choice but to run away, because his wife, Hou Shanyu, wanted to make trouble for him.Mr. Shan Yu had no choice but to sponsor Li Ling and run to the far north.It was not until Da Yan's death that Li Ling returned to Shan Yu's side.After returning, Li Ling became the son-in-law of the Xiongnu Shanyu. At that moment, the trajectory of fate was finally frozen.No matter how the Han Dynasty called, they couldn't call back that sad wanderer Li Ling.The struggle in the past turned out to be a farewell that can never go back; the glory in the past has turned into the cloud of sorrow for thousands of years. Sad!Li Ling!
