There is a famous saying in Preface to Wang Tengting that "Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal", which shows Wang Bo's sigh and regret for this general. But in fact, Li Guang's personal military quality and ability are very strong and very brave. The ability to lead this battle is open to question. Many battles with the Huns have not achieved substantial victory, either in vain or by killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.
When General Wei led his troops out of the wild gate to attack the Xiongnu, he was defeated in a panic and was captured by the Xiongnu after being injured. I really don't know what to say about this achievement. But what worries people is that he escaped by himself, otherwise he would have to talk to the Huns about how to release the general. At that time, the conference semifinals put him in a net bag, and two cavalry rushed forward with the net bag. Li Guang just lay there playing dead to let the enemy off guard. Seeing the opportunity, he jumped on a soldier's horse, grabbed the bow, arrow and horse and ran. The conference semifinals were shocked at that time, but they didn't try their best to catch up.
Looking at the Huns riding dust in Li Guang, I was really angry and sighing. I was so angry that I let them run away, and I lamented that people were skilled in riding and ran like flying! Indeed, Li Guang was called "Flying General". The battle came to an end and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to liquidate. Li Guang was jailed for his poor combat readiness, and his colleagues laughed at his being caught in a mess. Riding like a flying horse when you escape, it is simply a "flying general."
