Chapter 1168: Battle of Shule (2)(1/2)

On October 12, the third winter of the third year of Yanhe, three hundred miles west of Gumo and south of Qiemo, within the territory of the Shache Kingdom.

The Han cavalry set up camp here and began to make fires and cook.

Today’s breakfast was cheese, with dough cakes and jerky. In addition, there was a cup of hot horse milk tea as a drink.

When the aroma is fragrant, the roasted golden noodles are covered with jerky and cheese, Zhang Yue eats them very fragrant.

"General, our army will be close to Shule tomorrow!" Chang Hui held the bowls and chopsticks and said from the side: "How do you think the Huns will welcome our army?"

"Central Officer Chang..." Zhang Yue took a sip of the newly cooked horse milk tea, but did not answer, but asked instead: "Central Officer was in Chang'an and was once a friend with Li Shaoqing..."

"What kind of person does the lieutenant think Li Shaoqing is? What is his personality?"

When Chang Hui heard this, he shook his head and said, "At the end of the past, he would only be a living person in Chang'an. Although he was unaware of Duke Huo and others, he was attracted to him as his friends and friends, but how could he be familiar with Mr. Li, who was from a famous family in Longyou?!"

"However, I have met a few times and just nodded..."

"If you want to answer the answer in the future, then in my memory, Li Shaoqing is arrogant and arrogant, acts boldly, often ignores the rules and is against the common sense..."

"I remember that Li Shaoqing was ordered to investigate the Huns. All the generals thought that they could only go out for hundreds of miles and go back in three or five days... Who knew that he led 800 light cavalry, crossed Jishan and crossed the private canals and crossed the sea, and went deeper into the hinterland of the Hungarian River for more than 2,000 places, and took several months to return!"

Zhang Yue listened and laughed: "What happened?!"

"I still think that Li Shaoqing was in charge of the Hungary River by the time he was ordered to investigate... So that's how it is..."

Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows gently, and he had already made a conclusion in his heart.

Li Ling, Li Shaoqing!

Today, the regent of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, is one of the helpers and helpers of the Xiongnu split.

Zhang Yue has never stopped studying and analyzing Li Ling in Juyan.

From his family background, growth experience, official career, legends in the Huns...

Each Zhang Yue did his best to collect it, then sorted and archived one by one, so as to gradually establish Li Ling's personality portrait.

That was a contradictory person.

A person who was once full of dreams but was beaten by reality and was bruised.

A poor person!

He is even more hateful!

He is said to be pitiful because of historical filters. A post about "Biography of General Li" by Taishi Gong was spread throughout the ages. Zhang Yue was inevitably influenced by it, and his preconceived thoughts were sympathized.

But... Li Ling's hatefulness is a reality and is hard to forget easily!

Not to mention the other person, it was just the death of the Li Ling family.

At first glance, it seems that it is really aggrieved, and it is the Liu Han Dynasty who has defeated the Li family.

But what is the truth?

There is a famous saying in later generations: I want to ask if it is? Is there any?

Let me first talk about whether Li Ling was wronged or wronged?

There must be some.

But there is a problem: Li Ling is not the first or the last one who was captured by the Huns!

Not to mention the other person, his grandfather, the flying general Li Guang, was once captured by the Huns.

But after Li Guangli escaped, he only discussed his crimes in the court, but did not discuss or care about whether Li Guang was rebelling and surrendering to the enemy. No one attacked him for the capture of Li Guang.

Perhaps, Li Guang was captured and escaped back too short to be able to make evidence.

Then, during the reign of Emperor Gao, the examples of King Lu Wan of Yan and King Xin of Han were even more proof.

Lu Wan and King Xin of Han rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and led their troops to surrender, and even served as a leader for the Huns.

In terms of crimes and influence, these two people are ten times more powerful than Li Ling.

However, their clan family members in the Han Dynasty, their ancestral mausoleums, and even their mansions in Chang'an.

The Han Dynasty and the Liu family did not move a single hair!

Instead, he was warm and sent people to contact Lu Wan and Han Xin. Finally, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, Han Tuo, the man of Gong Gao, led his troops to lead his troops to the emperor. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Lu Wan's descendants led his troops to return to Yi.

If these two people are far apart, they cannot count.

So what about Zhao Ponu and his son?

During the Battle of the Hungary, Zhao Ponu and his son lost 20,000 elite cavalry in the Han family, and the father and son were earned by Shanyu.

They were detained in the Xiongnu Shanyu Court and placed under house arrest for several years. It was not until Li Guangli launched the Tianshan Battle and finally found an opportunity to flee back to the Han family.

During this period, rumors of Zhao Ponu and his son surrendering to the Huns, becoming ministers of the Shanyu, and even planning for the Shanyu.

but……

The emperor, in the court, never guilty of Zhao Ponu's clan family.

Even, he still gave Zhao Ponu's mother and wife a small salary, and was still allowed to stay in Chang'an and enjoy the treatment of the general's family.

Then, the question is here.

Why is Li Ling alone, why is it that he was killed in the clan just a few months after being defeated and captured?!

Li Ling himself was naturally full of grievances and grieved many times to the Han envoys and Su Wu, and even wrote many poems to express his emotions and psychology of wanting to be a loyal minister, but his fate pushed him to the current situation.

Unfortunately, Li Ling forgot what he had done before.

In Junji Mountain, there were five thousand souls of Jiangxia, those who fought to the death and those generals who were willing to take advantage of their own actions and ignored their lives and deaths.

Cheng'an Hou, former commander Han Yannian, was Li Ling's friend of life and death.

When the army was defeated, Han Yannian and Li Ling agreed to die together.

As a result, Han Yannian died bravely in battle, and blood flowed in front of Li Ling.

But Li Ling turned over and dismounted in front of the body of his friend, and knelt down and asked to surrender in front of the Xiongnu Khan!

Thinking about the words Li Ling said before this and the contents of his generous speeches.

Don’t Li Ling feel ashamed? Is he worthy of the Jiangxia soldiers who followed him to the last breath under his words?

Also, Li Ling himself was full of grievances, but the military women who were killed by him in Junji Mountain were not wronged? Isn’t it wrong?

Of course, these are actually trivial matters.

Zhang Yue had actually known the real reason for Li Ling's tragedy for a long time.

character!

He offended almost everyone!

Almost everyone was guilty!

He was training troops in Jiuquan and Wuwei, and sued Li Guangli every day, and had a fight in front of the emperor more than once or twice.

Every time, Li Ling said, "General Ershi suppressed his ministers", "Some people in the court were jealous of his ministers", and "the prime minister and General Ershi were in vain."

He always thought that he had talent and ability, so the earth should revolve around him.

Typical middle-year thinking.

So, on the day of his invasion, everyone pushed him down!

Everyone came over and stepped on him. Except for a few people including Taishi Ling Sima Qian, there was no one in the court and the country who spoke to him and explained it!

I also met someone like Gongsun Ao, and his tragic fate was already determined.

Zhang Yue had already made a decision when he was thinking about these things in his mind.

Li Ling's personality is arrogant and arrogant, fragile and sensitive.

He may be talented, or he may be very talented in military talent.

But with this personality weakness, he is destined to be born to be a human being. As long as he is familiar with his character, he can lead him by the nose!

Just like Junjishan’s defeat, on the surface, Li Ling was defeated by the siege of the Huns and was betrayed by the traitors.

But in fact, it is defeated by character!

He is too proud and too arrogant!

A young man who didn't even have the rank of general refused to be a logistics officer for Li Guangli.

I don’t know how to learn and accumulate experience, but I always think about reaching the sky in one step. Maybe I have made a boast of it, swearing and making a military order on my chest, regardless of objective reality.

Therefore, even if he was not surrounded by the Huns in Junji Mountain, he would definitely be defeated by the Huns on the battlefield.

There is nothing else, there is insufficient preparation and insufficient accumulation.

He was not prepared for the enemy situation, so he rashly took five thousand men out of the frontier.

Without a war horse, I leaned on my legs and walked among the steep mountains of Junji Mountain.

Isn’t this just telling the Huns that I’m easy to fight, come and beat me?

Perhaps, Li Ling did not keep his generals and soldiers' lives and future in his heart. What he thought about might have always been to make achievements and shine in the family.
