Shortly after the end of the Han-Hong Mobei War, Huo Qubing died of illness at the age of only 22. More than ten years later, Wei Qing also died of illness. In just over 10 years, both sides of the Han empire fell. At the same time, During this period, those veteran generals who followed Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to sweep away the Huns and sealed the wolf in Xu became old, sick, and injured. Fortunately, there were no major wars between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu during this period, but the problem of a shortage of military talents in the imperial military has been exposed. Emperor Wu of the Han Liu Che had already realized the seriousness of this problem. Shortly after Wei Qing's death, Liu Che began Focus on training Li Guangli as the new commander-in-chief of the Han army.

Li Guangli is the brother of Liu Che's favorite little wife Mrs. Li . With Liu Che's love for the house and Wu and Mrs. Li's nepotism, Li Guangli quickly entered Liu Che's sight. Li Guangli started from Langguan (mid-level officer) , the journey was smooth. In addition, the Han Empire had very few external military operations at that time, and Li Guangli did not receive many military exploits. As a Han army that built its country on military exploits, you would not be able to gain a foothold in the Han army without military exploits. , I think back then, the famous general Li Guang didn't have any military merit, and he was never made a marquis in his life, and he even regretted it for the rest of his life. Li Guangli desperately needed a chance to prove himself, and he almost came as soon as he said it.

In the summer of the first year of Taichu (104 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che asked for a sweat-blooded BMW from the small country of the Western Regions Dayuan , but was rejected by the King of Dayuan. Emperor Wu was furious and issued an edict to attack Dayuan, and Li Guangli is the commander-in-chief of this military operation. Li Guangli led 60,000 Han troops from Dunhuang, an important town in the west of the empire. Wherever Li Guangli went, small countries along the way were impressed by the military power of the Han army and sent troops and food to help the Han army. Only the Luntai Kingdom refused to surrender and refused the Han army to pass through its border. Li Guangli launched a war of annihilation against the Luntai Kingdom without hesitation. As expected, the weak Luntai Kingdom was defeated by the huge Han army's offensive. It was quickly defeated and became the territory of the Han Dynasty. Since then, Luntai has become the most important military stronghold of the Han army in the Western Regions. After conquering the Luntai Kingdom, the Han army's vanguard force of 30,000 people successfully advanced to the capital of Dawan. The Dawan army took advantage of the Han army's first arrival to attack the Han army, but was shot dead by the Han army's dense crossbows and suffered heavy losses. The Dawan army had no choice but to change their tactics and fled to the castle to resist stubbornly with the help of the city wall. The war once again entered a stalemate.

Li Guangli's lieutenants asked Li Guangli to stop the attack and wait for the arrival of the main force of the Han army before launching a general offensive. However, Li Guangli believed that the Han army was forced to go on an expedition and fight in Dawan itself. The morale of the Han army will be even more difficult to deal with at that time. It is better to launch an attack when the Han army has just arrived and its morale is strong, and the morale of the Han army is low due to the new defeat of Dawan, and there can be unexpected gains. In the end, Li Guangli overcame all opinions and issued the order for a general attack by the Han army. Li Guangli chose Dawan City, the royal city of Dawan, as the target of the attack, in order to capture the thieves first and capture the king first. Faced with the stubborn resistance of the Dawan army, Li Guangli changed his tactics. He ordered the Han army to dig out the water source of Dawan City, cut off the water supply to Dawan City, and surrounded Dawan City. After more than 40 days, Dawan City was finally attacked. No more.

The Dawan nobles in Dayuan City discussed with each other: "The reason why the Han Dynasty came to attack Dayuan is because our king Wuwu hid a good horse and killed the Han Dynasty envoy. If we kill King Wuwi and bring out the good horse , the siege of the Han army can be relieved; even if it is not solved, it is not too late to fight and die." The nobles of Dayuan all thought this was right, so they conspired to kill King Wuwi of Dayuan and opened the city gate Surrendered to Li Guangli, Li Guangli successfully entered Dawan City.

After Li Guangli occupied Dawan City, he proclaimed Meicai , one of the Dawan nobles who had been friendly to the Han people in the past, as the new king of Dawan, and left some Han troops stationed in Dawan for a long time. At the same time, he made selections throughout Dawan. BMW brought back to Changan with the blood of 3,000 horses. After the war, Li Guangli was canonized as General of the Second Division and Marquis of Haixi for his meritorious service, and successfully rose to the high position of commander-in-chief of the Han army.

Mangzi said: Li Guangli came from a humble background. Although his personal style was imprudent, he was not considerate of the soldiers, and he was unjust for the sake of profit, which was far from the requirements of a famous general. However, after Wei Qinghuo was cured of his illness, there were few men in the Han army who were worthy of important posts. Li Guangli was favored by Emperor Wu for Mrs. Li's sake, and he was appointed as a general above Emperor Wu. Li Guang led the Han army to rampage across the desert, attacking thousands of miles away, destroying Luntai and fighting a great battle. Wan, captured the King of Dayuan, showed his power in the Western Regions, and shocked the world, and he was still a great man.
