What is it like to fight all your life and not be recognized by the imperial court? What is the reason why an old general who has fought all his life died unjustly? Li Guang's life was really unfortunate, because he fought all his life on horseback, but in the end he had no official position and title.
Now let's take a look at Li Guang's tragic life. Li Guang, this is a general family origin, Li Guang's ancestors are descendants of Li Xin, Li Guang has been good at horseback riding, archery and martial arts since childhood. However, Li Guang seems to have taken the wrong path.
It was a time of pacification"Rebellion of the Eight Kings"At that time, Li Guang was originally a good thing as a war hero, but Li Guang was appreciated by his elder brother Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, King Liang Xiao, which meant direct pressure on Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, so Li Guang was exiled from Beijing and thrown into the deep mountains and old forests to study.
Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne and became emperor. Emperor Wu of Han decided to reuse the general Li Guang to conquer the Xiongnu, but the result was that Emperor Wu of Han was defeated. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty assigned Wei Qing and Li Guang to attack the Xiongnu, one responsible for the encirclement and the other responsible for the attack. Wei Qing led his men to defeat the Xiongnu, but Li Guang did not perform well and was almost beheaded in the end. Later, in the Battle of Hexi, Li Guang led his army into battle, causing heavy losses to the Xiongnu.

At first, Emperor Wu of Han refused to let Li Guang participate, but under Li Guang's constant pleading, Emperor Wu of Han could not resist Li Guang and agreed to his request.

Li Guang has a son named Li Deng, he thought that his father died because of Wei Qing, but he went to someone else's house to send an arrow to Wei Qing, Wei Qing didn't want to make a big deal about it, so there was no follow-up. However, during the hunt, Wei Qing's nephew Huo Qubing shot Li Deng with an arrow, and Li Deng went to find the old man.
A few years later, Li Guang's grandson Li Ling sent troops to attack the Xiongnu and besieged them. Li Ling had to surrender, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered Li Guang's whole family, which became the tragedy of Li Guang's life!
