Although many books have annotated the flying commander of Dragon City as "Li Guang" for a long time, many people think that "flying commander of Dragon City" should refer to the famous Wei Qing in the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
First, Wei Qing laid the dragon city, and Li Guang did not reach the dragon city until his death.
In BC 129, the Huns went south again, and the striker pointed to Shanggu (now Huailai County, Hebei Province). Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decisively appointed Wei Qing as the general who rode chariots to meet the Huns.
This time, Emperor Wudi sent four attacks. Wei Qing rode a chariot and went straight to the valley. Gongsun Ao rode a chariot to send troops from Daixian (governing Daixian, now Datong in Shanxi and Yuxian in Hebei), Gongsun He rode a minibus to send troops from Togtoh in Inner Mongolia, and Li Guang rode from Yanmen. The four generals each received ten thousand cavalry. Wei Qing went to war for the first time, but he was brave and good at fighting. He went straight to Longcheng (the place where Xiongnu sacrificed to sweep the ancestors of heaven and earth), beheaded 700 people and won a great victory. The other three roads, two roads failed, all the way failed. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appreciated Wei Qing's victory. He also named Wei Qing the Hou of Shanhaiguan.
This is the first time that the Han Dynasty achieved brilliant results in the Sino-Hungarian War, which is of great significance.
Li Guang's ancestral home is now Longxi Dragon City, but there is no evidence that he was called Dragon City before the poem Out of the Wall. Only after this poem did he get the alias of Dragon City.
Second, judging from the second half of the sentence "Don't call Humadu Yinshan", it should be Wei Qing.
Li Guang was guarding the city in southern Shanxi and western Liaoning (right Beiping), far from Yinshan Mountain. Moreover, Yinshan Mountain in the Han Dynasty, that is, the area around Shuofang City, is a typical strategic offensive base for both Han and Hungary. When Li Guang was guarding the city, he had no time to refuse "Huma who wanted to spend Yinshan Mountain".
And Wei Qing has a close relationship with Yinshan:
In BC 127, Xiongnu nobles assembled a large number of troops and attacked Shanggu and Yuyang. Liang Wudi decided to avoid reality, and sent Wei Qing to attack the Huns' long-occupied Henan land (Hetao area of the Yellow River). This was the first war between the Western Han Dynasty and Xiongnu.
Wei Qing led 40,000 troops to set out from the clouds, adopted the tactic of "circuitous attack", went west to the rear of Xiongnu army, quickly captured Gaoque (now Hangjinhou Banner in Inner Mongolia), and cut off the connection between Xiongnu Aries King and Loufan Wang Tong Khan Wang Ting. Then, Wei Qing led his troops south and entered Longxi, forming a siege of Aries King and Loufan King. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Xiongnu Aries King and Loufan King led their troops to flee hastily. The Han army captured thousands of enemy troops alive, seized more than one million livestock, and completely controlled the Hetao area. Because of the fertile aquatic plants and dangerous situation in this area, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Shuofang City (now northwest of Hangjinqi, Inner Mongolia) here, and set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County, where 100,000 immigrants from the mainland settled, and restored the frontier fortress and fortifications along the river built by Meng Tian in the Qin Dynasty. In this way, tarquin's direct threat to Chang 'an was not only relieved, but also a forward base was established to further counter the Huns. Wei Qing made great contributions and was named Changping Hou, with 3,800 food cities.
The Xiongnu nobles were unwilling to defeat Henan and wanted to recapture the North, so they sent troops many times in a few years, but they were all turned back by the Han army. In the spring of 124 BC, Emperor Wu ordered Wei Qing to lead 30,000 cavalry from Gaoque. Su Jian, Li Jue, Gong Sunhe and Cai Li were all restrained by Wei Qing and led troops from the north. Li Xi and Zhang Cigong led the troops from right Beiping. This time, the total strength is more than 100,000. Xiongnu right Wang Xian thought that the Han army was far away and couldn't come for a while, so he let his guard down. Wei Qing led an army to March six or seven hundred li, and surrounded the right camp overnight. At this time, the right wise king was drinking in his tent with his beautiful concubine, and he was already drunk at eight or nine points. Suddenly, the killing outside the tent was deafening and the fire was everywhere. Right Wang Xian panicked, hurriedly helped the beautiful concubine onto the horse, and with hundreds of strong horses, she broke through the tight encirclement and fled to the north. Han Jun rode Guo Cheng, a captain, and led the troops to chase after hundreds of miles, but failed to catch up. However, they captured more than 10,15,000 men and women and millions of livestock. The Han army won a great victory, played a triumphant song and retreated to North Korea.
The third general was even described by soldiers as' if you ride up and down the mountain, you are useless'.
Wei Qing made great achievements in his life. Even when King Huainan rebelled, he was afraid of Wei Qing. He knew he couldn't have tried to assassinate him. He told the general's men that his talent was unparalleled. He rode up and down the mountain like a shoe on the ground and flew like a fly.
Historical Records Biography of Hengshan Mountain in Huainan: Huang Yi, who attacked Xiongnu from a general, was also told:' When a general meets a scholar-bureaucrat, he treats his soldiers with courtesy, and everyone is happy to use it. If you ride up and down the mountain, you will be ruined. "When a soldier is considered so talented, he is not easy. Cao Liang, the messenger, sent Chang 'an, saying that the general gave an order, and when the enemy was brave, he often took the foot soldiers first. Rest, the well is blocked, and you have to get the water before you dare to drink it. When the army stopped, the soldiers had already crossed the river, and this was the degree. Empress Dowager Cixi gave gold and silk to military officials. Although GuXing has passed. Huang Yi once attacked the Huns with the general and came back and said,' The general is very polite to the scholar-officials and good to the foot soldiers, and everyone is happy to help him. Only when the general rides up and down the mountain can he stand out. "I think his martial arts is so high, and he has repeatedly led troops to fight. He knows the military and is hard to resist. Cao Liang came back from Chang 'an, saying that the general had strict orders, had the courage to resist the enemy, and often took the lead. During the camping break, when there is no well drilling, every soldier has to drink water before drinking. He didn't cross the river until the soldiers had finished crossing it when the army came back from the battlefield. He gave the money and silk given by Empress Dowager Cixi to his officials. Even the ancient stars can't compare with him.
From the perspective of Wang Changling, the author of this poem, it is very likely that the "Flying Commander of Dragon City" is actually Wei Qing. For various reasons, General Wei Qing, who made immortal contributions in the Sino-Hungarian War, has been repeatedly criticized by preconceived scholars, and his related poems are mixed. However, Wang Changling, a famous frontier poet, admires this famous soldier with both wisdom and courage. He once wrote a poem "Joining the Army", praising the way of Mobei: "The general goes out to war, and the day is dark. It's better to be golden on three sides than to be bold. " It can be seen that Wang Changling, who does not stick to conventions, is very likely to write a famous sentence for Wei Qing, such as "Only make Longcheng fly, don't teach Huma to spend the Yinshan Mountain".
