Why did Huo Qubing assassinate Li Gan and save his life without killing anyone in the first battle?

In fact, there are many opinions about this, or in the historical records, Sima Qian has vaguely revealed some information, but people choose not to believe it. After all, people still prefer a perfect ending and would rather Huo Qubing's death was attributed to the Xiongnu poisoning the river, and they would not believe that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent people to assassinate Huo Qubing. So let's take the time to see how much information is revealed in this sentence. Huo Qubing killed Li Gan in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

At that time, because Li Gan believed that his father Li Guang was killed by Wei Qing, he broke into Wei Qing's mansion and went to kill Wei Qing. Although Li Gan's status was already high at that time, breaking into the general's mansion without permission was a serious crime. If those personal guards hadn't stopped him, Wei Qing would have been killed by Li Gan. Since Li Gan dared to do this, Of course there are reasons. One is the influence of his father Li Guang, and the other is that he is also a relative and has almost the same status as Wei Qing. What's so scary? But Wei Qing is also generous. Perhaps Wei Qing also said something too harsh to Li Guang. After all, if a young man scolds a veteran who is over sixty years old, where can the veteran put his face? It led to Li Guang's suicide. Even though Li Guang was indeed at fault, after all, the deceased was the most important and he had an unshirkable responsibility, so Wei Qing did not accuse Li Gan.

In fact, when such a thing came to the ears of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had other ideas. He at least suspected that Wei Qing was excluding dissidents, but this was the time to employ people, and he also I can only endure it. Huo Qubing should not have killed Li Gan, let alone in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

In fact, looking at the war against Hungary during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although Huo Qubing is indeed powerful, it is not difficult to see from some records that Huo Qubing There is also a bit of arrogance in him. Even if Li Gan is a little impulsive and he is your subordinate, you can definitely find an opportunity to kill him. But Huo Qubing did not do that here. When he was hunting with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he did it in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he killed people in the hunting area, and he was also a member of the imperial court and a relative. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty helped Huo Qubing suppress this matter, the emperor's heart cannot be speculated according to ordinary people's routines. If it were you and me It's Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. What do you think when Huo Qubing does this? It's all about self-reliance and lack of respect for the emperor. He doesn't even take Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty into consideration. If he stays, it will be a disaster. Moreover, killing Li Gan is not for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Kill, but for Wei Qing. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at that time was at least thinking that one of the uncle and nephew must be killed.

But as for the uncle, he was also his sister’s man, so he had no choice but to let Huo Qubing die. Later generations speculated that Huo Qubing was actually Wei Qing’s wife, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Huo Qubing’s aunt. Completely. It makes sense, and it was the acquiescence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have failed to investigate such a big matter if he were an outsider.
