Chapter 268: Wei Yan, who has been misread for thousands of years
On the way to Duyang, looking at Wei Yan, who couldn't hide his joy, Zhang Fan began to recall Wei Yan's information:
Wei Yan, a native of Yiyang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Bei was appointed as the general of Yamen because of his military exploits when he entered Sichuan, and after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he was 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 to lead 10,000 soldiers for him many times, and went all the way to tackle the key problems, and finally joined Zhuge Liang at Tongguan......
Like Han Xin's example, but Zhuge Liang has always refused to allow it, so Wei Yan believes that he cannot fully display his talents, and is dissatisfied.
Wei Yan and Changshi Yang Yi were at odds, after Zhuge Liang's death, the contradiction between the two intensified, fighting for power with each other, Wei Yan was defeated and fled, chased by Ma Dai, and was wiped out by the three clans.
……
Wei Yan is definitely hacked in the novel, but it is not surprising that the king is defeated and the king is defeated, and the history books are always written by the winners.
In fact, people have a lot of misunderstandings about Wei Yan, and this person is not at all what everyone generally remembers......
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei proclaimed himself the king of Hanzhong in Chuyang, and ruled in CD so he was the general of Hanzhong, and most people at that time believed that Zhang Fei should serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and Zhang Fei also felt that this position belonged to him.
However, Liu Bei unexpectedly promoted Wei Yan to the governor of Hanzhong and the Taishou of Hanzhong, and promoted Wei Yan from the general of Yamen to the general of Zhenyuan. At that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very surprised.
Why?
Liu Bei has an advantage, whether a person is a talent or not, he can often accurately judge, just look at who is sworn with him.
Probably Wei Yan's strategy is stronger in Liu Bei's eyes, and although his martial arts are slightly inferior to Guan Zhang, he is also a first-class general. In addition, Hanzhong's geographical location is very critical, and there is a long-term confrontation situation, which requires generals with stronger comprehensive attributes.
How did Wei Yan do?
Five-year leader Sima, Liangzhou Assassin History. In eight years, Guo Huai and Fei Yao were broken, and later moved to the former military, the general of the expedition to the west, and the fake festival.
Of course, it is necessary to mention the noon conspiracy. Although whether this strategy can work or not, there has been a lot of discussion in later generations.
Zhuge Liang did not adopt this strategy for his own considerations, but it was indeed clear that Wei Yan was a strategic general.
Since Wei Yan is brave and strategic, and has won the trust and reuse of the leadership, how did he end up with the pitiful end of "life and death"?
This must talk about Wei Yan's character:
Yan was not only good at raising soldiers, brave and fierce, but also high-minded, and avoided him at that time.
In fact, Wei Yan not only looks like Guan Yu, but his weapon is also a big sword; Not only that, but even his personality is like Guan Yu:
Good at raising soldiers, brave and fierce, and high-minded. Typical is good to soldiers and looks down on colleagues, so in the end he also dies in this matter!
There is a sentence in the history books' evaluation of him: Invite trouble and take blame, all of which are yourself. In today's words: If you don't die, you won't die.
Before discussing his personality, it is necessary to talk about a person's origins, because personality often has a lot to do with the environment in which he grew up.
Wei Yan was born poor, and he was not even a "poor family". He fought with Liu Bei as a "tribe", which means that Wei Yan's starting point is far inferior to Lu Bu, just a small soldier.
Generally speaking, people from poor backgrounds will inevitably have an unbalanced mentality after success, and you can refer to the nouveau riche of later generations.
Wei Yan originally had a very poor background, struggled for many years, was young and powerful, and won the trust of the boss, so it was inevitable that he had some temper, of course, it may also be due to his natural personality, in short, he is not easy to get along with.
People who are really capable will be arrogant, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Wei Yan are particularly prominent, in fact, Wei Yan has always been arrogant. When Liu Bei handed over Hanzhong to him, he said a sentence:
"If Cao Cao comes from all over the world, please refuse it for the king; Partial to the 100,000 people, please swallow it for the king. ”
This is overconfidence, if he really has this ability, the Shu Kingdom would have destroyed Wei and Wu a long time ago, and ruled the world, how can there be anything to do with the Sima family?
This kind of person will definitely not be able to have a good relationship with his colleagues, because he looks at everyone like a pig teammate, and it is estimated that there are many enemies, but there is one person who is extremely crucial:
Only Yang Yi did not fake Wei Yan, and Yan thought that he was angry, like fire and water.
Who is Yang Yi?
Liang Shu went out of the army, the routine division of the department, and the preparation of grain was not a thought, and it was convenient. The military festival degree is taken from the ceremony.
Zhuge Liang went to the army many times, and Yang Yi always helped him make plans, raise food and grass, and did not think too much about doing things, and quickly dealt with them neatly. The etiquette system in the army was arranged and inspected by Yang Yi.
Yang Yi's role is roughly that when Zhuge Liang was lying on the rocking chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, he had already planned a rough battle plan for the map, and the logistics of the military quartermaster had been arranged.
There is no doubt that this person is talented, but like Wei Yan, he also has serious flaws in his personality, proud, conceited, narrow-minded, and complaining......
Yang Yi later ended up in "exile from his job, still not introspecting; finally went to prison and committed suicide", it is not difficult to understand the contradiction between Yang and Wei.
It's really hard for our military advisors:
Liang deeply cherishes Yi's talent, and with Wei Yan's bravery, he often hates the injustice of the two, and he can't bear to be biased.
Zhuge Liang was alive to suppress the two, and the two immediately began to fight for power:
Wei Yan felt that he was qualified to take over Zhuge Liang's burden and continue the great cause of the Northern Expedition, but Yang Yi could never accept Wei Yan's succession, and decided to return to the dynasty according to Zhuge Liang's plan, and at the same time spread rumors that Wei Yan was going to surrender north.
Wei Yan was furious and openly rebelled, led the army south, burned the pavilion road, and fought with Yang Yida. Then Yang Yi and Wei Yan went to the table separately and attacked the other party as a traitor......
Because Wei Yan's popularity was too poor, no one spoke for him, and Dong Yun and Jiang Wan in the central government believed in Yang Yi more and sent troops north to crusade against Wei Yan, and Wei Yan's subordinates also rushed to defect first, and finally Wei Yan was beheaded by Ma Dai and wiped out the three clans.
Therefore, Wei Yan is different from Lu Bu, he has never betrayed Liu Bei or Shu Han, "there is a backbone in the back of his head" is pure nonsense, in fact, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have always trusted and valued him.
All in all, Wei Yan is an excellent general, but unfortunately he has a bad personality and low emotional intelligence, but he ran into another Yang Yi with a flawed personality, and ended up desolate, and he was also killed!
……
After completely combing through the information about Wei Yan in his mind, Zhang Fan actually really felt sorry for Wei Yan, but he also sounded the alarm for himself:
In the future, we must pay attention to carefully maintaining the relationship between our subordinates, and we must not repeat the mistakes of Wei Yan and Yang Yi, whose subordinates who are obviously capable will lose their strength in the infighting and will eventually be taken advantage of by the enemy......
There is another one, reusing a person can not only look at the person's ability, but also consider the comprehensive conditions of the individual, otherwise it may cause a catastrophe...... (To be continued.) )
