According to the sin of Ma Chao's rebellion, it is enough to destroy his three clans. Another point, that is, Fu Lin recently accepted a young fierce general, this person is Wei Yan, Wei Yan was sent by Fu Lin to dig it from Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Wei Yan (born in an unknown year, died in 234 AD), a native of Yiyang (later Tongbai, Henan), was highly valued by Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Wei Yan was appointed as the general of Yamen because of his military exploits, and after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he was exceptionally promoted to the general of Zhenyuan, leading Hanzhong to defend and guard Hanzhong, and became a general who was in charge of one party.

Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong for nearly ten years, and then repeatedly accompanied Zhuge Liang on the Northern Expedition, with remarkable achievements. During this period, Wei Yan asked Zhuge Liang many times to give him 10,000 soldiers, and went all the way to tackle the key problems, and finally joined Zhuge Liang in Tongguan, just like Han Xin's example, but Zhuge Liang has not allowed it, so he thinks that he cannot fully exert his talents, and is dissatisfied.

Discord with Changshi Yang Yi, after Zhuge Liang's death, the contradiction between the two intensified, fighting for power with each other, Wei Yan was defeated and fled, chased and beheaded by Ma Dai, and was wiped out by the three clans.

Wei Yan, the word is long, is a famous general of Shu State, for the establishment of Shu Han has made great contributions, Liu Bei into Sichuan when Wei Yan was appointed as the general of Yamen because of the number of military exploits, Liu Bei captured Hanzhong and then promoted it to the general of Zhenyuan, led Hanzhong Taishou, guarded Hanzhong, and became a general in charge of one party.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211 AD), Liu Bei was invited by Liu Zhang to enter Sichuan to help Liu Zhang resist Zhang Lu, Wei Yan followed Liu Bei into Shu to fight, and Liu Bei's army went north to resist Zhang Lu and was stationed in Jiameng.

In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212 AD), Liu Bei broke with Liu Zhang, raised troops to attack Liu Zhang, and sent Zhuo Ying and Huang Zhong to occupy Fucheng together, when Liu Bei's army was less than 10,000 soldiers, and the lone army had no food, and Liu Zhang refused the tactics of clearing the wilderness, and sent Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren, Ling Bao, Deng Xian, Wu Yi and other generals to lead the elite to block Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei's army broke Liu Zhang's army, and later sent Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other sub-unified troops to pacify Guanghan County, several military achievements, promoted to Yamen general.

In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214 AD), Wei Yan conquered the important town of Ruocheng with Liu Bei, and surrounded Chengdu with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD), Liu Bei proclaimed himself the king of Hanzhong in Weiyang, and ruled in Chengdu, so when the general was in Hanzhong, most people's opinions at that time were that Zhang Fei should serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong, Zhang Fei also felt that this position belonged to him, but Liu Bei unexpectedly promoted Wei Yan to the governor of Hanzhong, the Taishou of Hanzhong, and promoted Wei Yan from the general of Yamen to the general of Zhenyuan.

The whole army was shocked when they heard this. One day, Liu Bei gathered his ministers and asked Wei Yandao: "I appointed you with this important task today, do you plan to say something?" Wei Yanlang replied: "If Cao Cao comes with all the strength of the country, I ask for the king to block him, and if a partial general comes with an army of 100,000, I ask for the king to annex him." Liu Bei was very satisfied after hearing this, and the ministers also praised Wei Yan's heroism.

In the first year of Zhangwu (221 AD), Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, established Shu Han, and Wei Yanjin was named the general of Zhenbei.

In April of the first year of Jianxing (223 AD), Liu Bei died, and in May, the crown prince Liu Chan ascended the throne, and Wei Yan was named the Marquis of Duting.

In the fifth year of Jianxing (227 AD), Zhuge Liang was stationed in Hanzhong in preparation for the Northern Expedition, and promoted Wei Yan to the prime minister Sima and Liangzhou Thorn History.

In the eighth year of Jianxing (230 AD), Cao Wei's three-way army attacked the Hanzhong region of Shu Han, two of which were returned due to heavy rain, at this time Wei Yan also led a partial division west into Qiangzhong, attacking Cao Wei Liangzhou area, Wei Yan led the army to Yangxi area, met Cao Wei's general Fei Yao, Yongzhou Rashi Guo Huai's army, the two armies fought, Wei Yan broke Fei Yao and Guo Huai.

Wei Yan, who won a great victory, was also promoted to the former military division and the general of the expedition to the west, and was awarded the false festival and was named the Marquis of Southern Zheng.

In the ninth year of Jianxing (231 AD), Zhuge Liang made the fourth northern expedition and confronted Sima Yi. According to the record of "Spring and Autumn of the Han Dynasty", Sima Yi made Zhang He attack Wang Ping in Nanwei, Zhuge Liang made Wei Yan, Gao Xiang, and Wu Ban fight against each other, and the Wei soldiers were defeated and won the first 3,000 ranks, and Sima Yi returned to the camp.

In the tenth year of Jianxing (232 AD), Wei Yan and Liu Yan were at odds, and their words were false, Zhuge Liang blamed Liu Yan, and Liu Yan later made a note to apologize.

Every time Wei Yan accompanied the army on the Northern Expedition, he asked Zhuge Liang to give him the command of 10,000 soldiers, and he went all the way to tackle the key problems, and finally joined Zhuge Liang in Tongguan, just like the example of the former Han general Han Xin, but Zhuge Liang has not allowed it, so Wei Yan often said that Zhuge Liang was timid and hated that his talents could not be fully used.

According to the record of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" supplement "Wei Luo": During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Wei Yan once made a suggestion at the military meeting, because the Chang'an guard general Xiahou Nan was timid and had no plan, so he was willing to invite 5,000 elite soldiers to take Chang'an directly from the Meridian Valley, and thought that Xiahou Nan would definitely abandon the city and flee, and Zhuge Liang thought that this plan was in danger and was not used.

Wei Yan is good at raising soldiers and is brave, but he has an arrogant personality and an extremely evil temperament, and everyone avoids him. Yang Yi was the only one who disdained Wei Yan and became intimidating with him, and even made several attempts to kill Yang Yi with a knife; Zhuge Liang cherishes the two, and Fei Yi often mediates for the two.

In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234 AD), Zhuge Liang's fifth Northern Expedition, Wei Yan was appointed as the striker, dreamed that he had horns on his head, and asked Zhao Zhi, the dreamer, Zhao Zhi said: "The husband Qilin has horns but does not use it, and this is the image of a thief who wants to destroy himself without fighting." But he stepped back and said to people: "The horn is a word, and the knife is also used; With a knife on the head, it is very fierce. ”

In the autumn of the same year, Zhuge Liang's illness worsened, and he secretly retired from the army after the death of Changshi Yang Yi, Sima Feiyi, and Jiang Wei, etc., so that after Wei Yan was broken, if he delayed or did not obey his orders, he would do as he pleased. Zhuge Liang died, and he was not mourned, Yang Yi ordered Fei Yi to figure out Wei Yan's intentions.

Wei Yan replied: "Although the prime minister is dead, but there is still me, how can the world's major affairs be wasted because of the death of one person?" Besides, who am I, Wei Yan, and how can I be at the mercy of Yang Yi and be a general after the break? ”

The army slowly retreated with Yang Yi, Wei Yan was furious, day and night, rushed in front of Yang Yi's army, and burned the pavilion everywhere he walked.

Yang Yi and Wei Yan both went to each other to say that the other party had rebelled, and Liu Chan asked Dong Yun and Shi Jiangwan, the governor of the palace, who wanted to rebel, and Dong Jiang and Jiang both guaranteed that Yang Yi suspected Wei Yan. Wei Yan first occupied the mouth of the Nangu and led his army to attack Yang Yi's army, and Yang Yi ordered Wang Ping to defend against Wei Yan in front.

Wang Ping scolded Wei Yan's vanguard: "Zhuge Gong died, and the bones are not cold, how dare you people do this!" "Wei Yan's army knew that Wei Yan was at fault, and they didn't listen to Wei Yan's orders, so they all dispersed. Only Wei Yan and his sons fled to Hanzhong, Yang Yi sent Ma Dai to catch up with Wei Yan and behead him, and dedicated his head to Yang Yi, Yang Yi trampled Wei Yan's head with his feet, and scolded: "Yongnu! Can you do evil again? So he exterminated the three tribes of Wei Yan.

The above is the record of the biography of Chen Shou, the author of "Three Kingdoms", but according to Pei's note citing "Wei Luo", it was Wei Yan who was entrusted by Zhuge Liang with military power, and Yang Yi was afraid that Wei Yan would take the opportunity to harm him, so he spread rumors that Wei Yan was going north to join the enemy and sent troops to attack him, but Wei Yan, who was framed, was afraid that the war would be innocent, so he only fled without fighting, and was finally hunted down. Pei Songzhi believes that this statement is a rumor of Cao Wei, and the "Three Kingdoms" of Chen Shou of Shu Han is more credible.

The above is the experience of Wei Yan in his last life, whether it is from historical materials or from the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan is a tragedy, he made great achievements for Shu Han, worked hard, and finally was wiped out by the three tribes.

Therefore, these are the reasons why Fu Lin dug Wei Yan over, Wei Yan is definitely a general, but he doesn't understand the way of officialdom.
