Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 305 We are lucky to serve the country

Li Ling was the eldest grandson of Li Guang, a parachutist of the Han Dynasty. He was defeated and surrendered to the Huns. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and killed his whole family.

Li Ling could not return to the Han all his life, and finally died of old age on the territory of the Huns.

Ma Qian and Li Ling of the Taishi Company are close friends, and Sima Qian was corrupted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for lobbying Li Ling.

But Tai Shigong's evaluation of Li Ling is quite low.

Since then, Li's reputation has been lost, and the scholars in Longxi who are under the family are all ashamed.

This sentence is almost comparable to people who were ashamed of their surname Hui after the Song Dynasty and Yue Fei's surname Qin before his grave.

In the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Li Guangli to conquer the Xiongnu, and appointed Li Ling, the third generation of the army, as the escort of the second division's luggage.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rejected Li Ling's suggestion, saying: "Let the evil belong to the evil! I have a lot of troops, so don't ride to your daughter!"

What he said means that this time the big man sent a lot of troops to the Huns, and I don't have any extra cavalry for you.

In fact, at that time, Wei Qinghuo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu many times. Tens of thousands of Han soldiers died, and more than [-] Han horses died. hunt down.

Li Ling replied: "I have nothing to do to ride, and I am willing to attack the crowd with less. 5000 infantrymen are involved in the court."

Promise to be strong.

The Zhuang character here shows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very moved, so he agreed to Li Ling's request and allowed him to send troops.

In exchange for a result of surrender, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not as good-tempered as Zhao Huan. When he heard the news, he was furious.

Why did Li Ling insist on going to war?This involves the difficulty of being a marquis for three generations of the Li family.

Li Guang fought for more than [-] years in his life, and was finally held accountable by Wei Qing, who committed suicide and died.

Li Ganli seized the banner of King Zuo Xian of the Huns, and was killed by Huo Qubing.

Therefore, Li Ling was very anxious, so he wanted to go out to fight and become the Li family's Marquis!

Feng Tangyi was old, and Li Guang was difficult to seal, so Li Ling, a young man, stubbornly wanted to go to war, win military exploits, and seal the title of Marquis in the name of Li's family.

But Li Gan has actually sealed the Marquis of Guannei, so it's not that the Li family has no Marquis, it's just that Li Ling is too impatient.

In Li Guang's life, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not treat him badly.

He fought against the Huns, returned without success the first time, wiped out the entire army the second time, lost his way with Wei Qing on the third expedition, returned without success the fourth time, and acted without heeding Wei Qing's orders on the fifth time. Then he lost his way and returned to the camp, Wei Qing was held accountable, while Li Guang committed suicide and apologized.

Li Guang returned three times without success, once the whole army was wiped out, and once he refused to obey orders. The march was not standardized, everyone did what he wanted, and he did not fight with knives to defend himself. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty treated Li Guang well.

How did Li Guang repay Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Li Guanghe was drunk in the field, and drove his car recklessly in Baling Pavilion, but was stopped by the captain of Baling Pavilion, who detained Li Guang for a long time.

Then when Li Guangbai was the prefect of Youbeiping, he brought this Ba Lingting lieutenant to the army, and then killed this Ba Lingting lieutenant.

Because of the strict law enforcement, you will cut off your head if you don't give Li Guang the face of a parachutist?

Look at the story of Lenin and the guards again, and you will know what a moral person should do.

And Huo Qubing's killing of Li Gan is exactly the continuation of Li Guang.

After Li Gan became a Marquis, he knew that his father Li Guang's death had a great relationship with Wei Qing.

Then he injured Wei Qing, and Wei Qing was kind and felt ashamed of the Li family, so he didn't pursue Li Gan's assassination of him.

Who was Wei Qing at the time?

General Da Sima, this position is actually similar to that of Zhao Huan's canonized Marshal, who enjoys extremely high treatment, commands the country's soldiers and horses, and decides military matters with one word.

Wei Qing, as the God of War of the Han Dynasty, has won many battles. Huo Qubing's 800 men attacked the Xiongnu was a surprise attack, but Wei Qing defeated the Huns 24 horses head-on, and he is a well-deserved army god of the Han Dynasty.

Li Gan failed to assassinate Wei Qing, Wei Qing Renhou ignored Li Gan and did not publicize it, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty kept it secret.

Wei Qing is a tolerant person, but Huo Qubing has a bad temper, can he bear it?

Aren't you blood revenge?I can too.

Huo Qubing's father, Huo Zhongru, was a scumbag who stole Wei Shaoer, a maid from the Princess Pingyang's mansion. Wei Shaoer was born out of wedlock. Huo Zhongru didn't dare to admit it, so he ran away.

Huo Qubing has been growing up with his mother and Wei Qing. Although Wei Qing is an uncle in name, he is almost like his father.

Can he swallow this breath?

Moreover, it was Li Gan who started the matter of revenge for his blood relatives. Huo Qubing killed Li Gan in the street to avenge his blood relatives.

At that time, the Great Revenge Theory of the Gongyang Theory was very popular, and it was said that the hatred of a country can be restored forever!The family feud ends in five generations!
What's more, is it Li Gan who pioneered the revenge of blood relatives?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not punish Huo Qubing.

As the only adult male in the Li family, Li Ling needed to prove himself, so he proposed the tactic of fighting cavalry with infantry, and he did well.

In the first battle, 5000 people fought against 3 Huns. They fought a total of five times. After repeated battles, the Huns left.

The Huns are coming again, this time with 8 people!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked Li Guang very much, and was extremely saddened by Li Gan's death, and he was also very concerned about Li Ling's request for war.

So Lu Bode was sent to lead the cavalry to cooperate with Li Ling in fighting.

But the Li family's battle was really criticized by the Han army, so Lu Bode was ashamed to cooperate with Li Ling, so he wrote a letter saying that he didn't want to do it.

At that time, Lu Bode also had other tasks, and he went out of Hexi to cooperate with Li Guangli in fighting.Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's support for Li Ling ended without a problem.

How did Li Ling do it?

The first step is to blame the woman. Ling said: "My morale is so low that I can't afford it. Why? Are there any women in the army?" in the car.The mausoleum was found, and all of them were cut with swords.

First pull out the daughter-in-law of the soldier who accompanied the army and chop it up.

On this point, the army does not allow wives to follow, and Li Ling enforced the military law and did nothing wrong, but blaming women affects morale. Wouldn't killing a soldier's wife affect morale even more?

The second step is beheading. After fainting, Ling walked out of the camp alone in plain clothes, stopping to the left and right: "Don't follow me, the husband will take Shan Yuer!"

After a long time, the mausoleum was returned, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "If the army is defeated, it will die!"

Single-handedly assassinated the Xiongnu and Zuo Xianwang, that was an elite army of 8 Huns. Did he go to assassinate, or did he go to assassinate?

The third step is to fight to the death, so that the soldiers will hold two liters of rice cakes and half of the ice, and wait until the captives wait for each other.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers beat the drums, but the drums did not sound.Both Ling and Han Yannian got on their horses, and there were more than ten strong men and servants.Thousands of cavalry chased him, and Han Yannian died in battle.

The mausoleum said: "Report to Your Majesty without a face!" Then he surrendered.

The soldiers dispersed, and more than [-] people escaped to the fortress.

We are about to fight to the death, why did the general surrender first?
When we arrived at the Underworld, Han Yannian would definitely ask Li Ling, everyone was going to fight to the death, but you saw His Majesty without a face, and then surrendered?
Then how did Li Ling do it?

He accepted the appointment of the Huns, became the right school king of the Huns, and returned to the princess of the Huns. Su Wu was detained by Shan Yu, and Li Ling went to persuade Su Wu to surrender.

Later, Li Ling fought against Shang Qiucheng's [-] Han army led by the Xiongnu. Of course, Li Ling released the water severely, and Shang Qiucheng won a big victory.

Therefore, in Zhao Huan's eyes, it was Li Ling who rushed in lightly, buried thousands of elites, and then set up a memorial archway, went to the Xiongnu to eat, drink, have fun and sleep with women, and was named king. People in his hometown were ashamed of him, about That's it.

But Wang Ting is different. When Wang Ting attacked Linhuang, it was Zhao Huan's order to Yang Xinzhong and Wang Ting to act cheaply. The middle road has just recovered.

Wang Ting took down Linhuang and put a nail in Wanyan Zonghan's throat to prevent Wanyan Zonghan from going south before the military fort in Fengsheng Prefecture was built.

This is Wang Ting's strategic intention.And it was executed very thoroughly.

However, Wang Tin's lone army went deep and was surrounded by groups. As far as the current situation is concerned, Zhao Huan was unable to rescue him, and Yang Xinzhong did not have soldiers and horses who could rescue Wang Tin and Sun Yi who had traveled thousands of miles.

Therefore, when the two of them set off, they knew that this was a long-distance raid with no return.

Zhao Huan allowed them to surrender because they did well enough.

Moreover, Wang Chen was in his 30s, leaving behind a young son in Taiyuan, and took his eldest son to fight thousands of miles away. Zhao Huan asked Wang Chen to surrender, in fact, he gave Wang Chen a chance to live.

For his loyalty and bravery, Wang Tian has already proved himself with the bloody battle in Taiyuan.

Surrendering under the command of Li Zhan is different from surrendering without face to His Majesty.

Zhao Huan and Yu Wenxuzhong explained why they gave this order. His personality was benevolent, and he didn't want these soldiers who disregarded their own lives for the country and the people to really fight to the death.

It was only then that Yuwen Xuzhong understood the intention of the officials, that it was not a matter of a slap in the face that you, Wang Teng, could surrender.Instead, consider many aspects.

Moreover, there will be negotiations in the follow-up, and the operation of exchanging Wang Zhi for hostages in exchange, Yu Wenxuzhong said that he can understand the good intentions of the officials.

It's a pity that the military order was passed on to Wang Ting's army. After Wang Ting interpreted the edict according to the script, he said with a smile: "The officials underestimated XX."

Sun Yi asked: "What orders did the officials give? Are you going straight to Huanglong Mansion?"

"The officials allowed us to surrender to the Jinren. We will live with dogs." Wang Ting said with a smile.

Sun Yi was surprised when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "The official family is really benevolent. It is a great blessing for us to meet such an official family."

"But when we came out this trip, we didn't intend to go back alive."

"I have the heart of death in order to keep the Song Dynasty alive. Gou Quan's life is not our wish. I have decided to serve the country with death! I hope the Song Dynasty will flourish!" Wang Ting wrote this sentence under the oil lamp and showed it to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi thought for a while and wrote: "We are lucky to serve the country and have a family! I am honored to bury my bones in a brave grave, and I have no regrets in this life!"

Wang Ti and Sun Yi signed their names on the letter and ordered Kuai Ma to send their letter back.

Of course, the battle situation in Linhuang City was not as bad as Zhao Huan thought. On the contrary, Wang Tian and Sun Yi felt a little comfortable.

"It's really cool to say that killing people, setting fires, and looting everywhere."

"Look at the tens of thousands of Khitans we plundered for labor, and so many livestock. There are Khitans defending the city, and there are people who do the dirty work, and there are meat to eat."

"The officials thought that we were in danger of our lives at any time in Linhuang Mansion, but they would have to hesitate a bit to let X go back in such a day!" Sun Yi inserted a knife into a piece of steak that was just grilled with oil, Blow it and eat it.

"Drink some kumiss, or you won't feel sick to your stomach at night. The beef is not bad. Let Kuaima bring some of the roe deer meat you killed last time."

Wang Ting threw a wine gourd to Sun Yi, shook his head and said, "We'll go back after the military fort is completed. Although life is beautiful, it's on someone else's land after all."
