Why is Li Guang called General Fei

Li Guang (?).—119 BC), a native of Chengji, Longxi (now Jingningnan, Gansu), was a famous military strategist in the Western Han Dynasty. He has been a cavalry general, a cavalry captain, a Weiyang guard, and a county guard, guarding the border counties so that the Huns dare not commit crimes for many years, and are known as "flying generals".

His life did not get the marquis, perhaps bad luck, there is a historical allusion "Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal", in 119 BC, with Wei Qing to fight against the Huns, defeated, lead the neck to kill himself.

Once, Li Guang was accidentally captured by the Huns. The Huns brought a net and trapped him, and then dragged him away with several horses. Li Guang, who was extremely quick-witted, saw the opportunity and suddenly snatched a scimitar from the accompanying Huns and cut the net.

Before the other Huns could react, Li Guang had already killed several people with the scimitar, jumped on a fast horse, and fled from the Xiongnu position. You must know that this series of events only happened in just a dozen seconds. The Huns were ignorant and thought that Li Guang was a god who knew how to fly to the heavens and the earth, and since then they have called Li Guang "General Fei."

Because he is the Monkey King (modeled after the previous layer).

Because he was born into a family of military generals.

Because he's a superman who can fly.

Li Guang was stationed in Youbeiping, and when the Xiongnu heard about it, they called him "the flying general of the Han Dynasty".
