Chapter Ninety-Nine: Thirsty for Talent
"Recently, I heard that there is a young talent in Linjiang, Ba County, who is extremely brave, proficient in strategy, and good at water warfare. www.biquge.info But this person is not doing his job, his behavior is debauched, and he often gathers a group of light teenagers and serves as his own leader. They roam around in groups, carrying bows and arrows, with bird feathers on their heads and bells, and they are a nuisance to the place, but they are also a local evil. β
Li Tang paused and said:
Although this man is so debauched, he is also righteous. On weekdays, he loves to learn martial arts with others, and if he can live with him a few times, he will respect it. β
"Can this person be surnamed Gan Mingning, and is the word Xingba?" Huang Zhong asked.
"General Hansheng knows this person?" Li Tangqi said.
"I don't know. I did hear of this person, though. This person is happy to take revenge, but he is a local tyrant. On weekdays, he has no fixed place, and sometimes he goes to the river, but he lands on the shore to disturb the place. The government has no way for him, so he dares to be angry but doesn't dare to speak. This person has a group of brothers, all of whom are extraordinary, and ordinary officers and soldiers are not opponents, so this person is not easy to deal with! β
"As far as I know, it's not that hard to deal with this person. This person loves to compete in martial arts, and if we find this person, we can meet friends with martial arts. If we can't do it, we will shake hands and make peace, laugh and enmity, and think that this Gan Ning should not be embarrassed by us. If you can win, you can take advantage of the machine to subdue the person. If this person is attached to us, it is fine, if he is not willing to belong to us, he will be killed, and this can be regarded as removing a harm for the place! In this way, can Hansheng be sure to beat this person? β
Li Tang knew that Gan Ning was definitely not Huang Zhong's opponent, so he deliberately made remarks to provoke Huang Zhong.
This Huang Zhong was already hot-tempered and couldn't be provoked, so he went out to meet the enemy at the age of 70. Now that Li Tang is newly attached, he has not made an inch, and at this time he finally has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but he was questioned by the lord, and he can endure it again.
Immediately said: "Lord, it's not the last general to boast." The last general has lived for more than forty years, and no one has yet been able to win the sword in my hand. Only once, a young offspring was not bad, but after less than twenty moves in my hands, he was defeated! β
"Oh? What is this person's last name? Li Tang deliberately provoked Huang Zhong, but it is estimated that only Lu Bu can beat Huang Zhong.
Therefore, Huang Zhong said that no one can beat him, Li Tang didn't feel strange at all, but Huang Zhong said that someone could have twenty moves with him, which was a novelty. You must know that Huang Zhong is at the level of the saint-level, but it is estimated that even if he is an ordinary martial artist of the saint-level, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pass twenty moves under Huang Zhong!
"This person's surname is Wei Mingyan, and the characters are long. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he had traveled to Nanyang a few years ago, and he had visited me and learned martial arts with dogs, and dogs could not win. Later, I personally learned from him, and he was able to exchange twenty moves, and he was a tiger general. β
"This Wei Yan's personality is more compatible with me, and after this exchange, he stayed in Nanyang to learn martial arts with me and discuss the art of war. This person's martial arts have been instructed by me, and he has also made rapid progress, but his military strategy is far above mine, and I have benefited a lot from discussing with him for a few days. β
This son stayed for more than a month, and then continued to travel, the little girl danced to the butterfly is quite fond of this kid, and the old man also likes this son more. But later, due to the dog's practice, he was paralyzed in bed, and Wudie and I were too busy with this matter to take care of anything else, so I didn't know where this kid was going later. β
After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he was a little regretful.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart!
After Huang Zhong finished speaking, Li Tang was overjoyed!
Who is the most powerful military general in the Three Kingdoms who has been hacked, it is Wei Yan!
Who is Wei Yan? The first person under the five tiger generals of Shu Kingdom! Deeply valued by Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he 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 guard 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.
After Zhuge Liang's death, due to discord with Changshi Yang Yi, the conflict 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.
To tell the truth, this person was born poor, started as a soldier, and in front of those generals who were born with golden keys, he was more or less inferior. And a capable person has low self-esteem, showing arrogance.
Therefore, Wei Yan is good at raising soldiers, which shows that his character is not withdrawn.
But why is it said that he is "so wicked that everyone avoids him"? I'm afraid it's his inferiority complex that is at fault.
What is Wei Yan's ability? But the table record is actually meaningless, it needs to be compared.
First of all, Wei Yan vs Jiang Wei:
Who is Jiang Wei? During the Three Kingdoms, he was a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the official was a general. It is said that he is Zhuge Liang's proud protΓ©gΓ©, and he has Zhuge Liang's true biography! That's a very powerful character.
After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei was ranked after Wei Yan. Of course, this is due to Jiang Wei's young age and young qualifications, so he can't do it accurately.
However, Jiang Wei and Wei Yan have guarded Hanzhong together.
Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong and used soldiers to guard various passes, so that the enemy had no door to enter.
In the later period, it was time for Jiang Wei to guard Hanzhong. Jiang Wei believes that although this is a tight defense, it is not conducive to the annihilation of the enemy's living forces, and believes that the enemy should be lured deep and then surrounded and annihilated, but unfortunately such a wise decision, the result is that Zhong Hui, the general of Wei who was "lured in", and finally directly destroyed Shu.
It can be seen that Jiang Wei, who is extremely heavy on Kong Mingqi, at least in terms of evaluating his own strength, is a little bit of a master.
Of course, the consequences of having a high eye and a low hand are a bit serious. At least, Xiao Liangzi's life's hard work was ruined.
With this point, Jiang Wei does things, at least not as steady as Wei Yan. Wei Yan did nothing less, but it did not cause serious consequences.
Furthermore, Wei Yan vs Guo Huai:
Who is Guo Huai? A famous general of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. When Zhuge Liang attacked Wei, Guo Huai expected the enemy accurately and made many military exploits. In the first year of Zhengshi (240), Guo Huai repelled Jiang Wei and was promoted to general Zuo and former general; In the second year of Jiaping (250), he was promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry and entered the Marquis of Fengyang.
Died in the second year of Zhengyuan (255), posthumously presented to the general, the Marquis of Zhenzhen.
Of course, the general is posthumously sealed and can't count, but the general is indeed a real one.
What is the position of the general of the chariots? Not good to describe! But if you talk about the marshal, everyone knows.
Guo Huai's general cavalry was one of the four generalissimos at that time, do you say he is a cow?
However, it was such a cattle man who had few defeats, but he was defeated by Wei Yan!
Note that it is a big defeat, not a defeat! There is a fundamental difference between the two.
Guo Huai's defeat of Jiang Wei was only a repulsion, while Wei Yan's defeat of Guo Huai was a big defeat.
It can be seen that Guo Huai is only a figure at the level of Jiang Wei, and he is still slightly inferior to Wei Yanlai.
Wei Yan vs Zhang Fei, Guan Yu:
In terms of governing the army, Wei Yan's "good maintenance of soldiers" is not the same as Zhang Yide's "punishment and killing are not only too bad, but also whipped Lao athletes", but similar to Guan Yu's "good treatment of soldiers".
However, there is still a difference between one "good raising" and the other "being kind to others".
Raise, raise what? Adopt a son! Stay, stay for what? Treat parents!
Let's imagine, who is more attentive to raising a son or treating his parents?
There are only the sons of pit parents in the world, how can you ever see the parents of a few pit sons?
is like an official in a previous life, claiming to be a parent official, everyone is very relieved. Because, at that time, most officials were concerned about the people and loved the people like sons.
And how many officials in later generations claimed to be servants of the people and sons of the people. Actually, there is nothing wrong with that!
Aren't the parents all sons? Aren't all those who take their masters servants?
Therefore, the difference between "kindness" and "kindness" is that one is love, the other is respect, and the intimacy is clear at a glance.
From this point of view, Wei Yan's governance of the army is by no means inferior to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Shu Han super-first-class generals.
Wei Yan vs Zhuge Liang:
First of all, Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is God. Even in real history, it was a generation of celebrities, a generation of heroes, and that was a handsome talent.
Wei Yan is just a commander, and the two are not the same.
However, the ruler is short, and the inch is long.
Historians like to talk about Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan, the public case about the dispute over the route of the Northern Expedition. Right and wrong, let everyone say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, Li Tang naturally has no way to say who must be right.
Even Mr. Luo Guanzhong, who has always deified Zhuge Liang and scandalized Wei Yan, had to borrow Sima Yi's mouth and said, "Zhuge Liang was cautious in his life and did not dare to make a mistake." If I use soldiers, I will take Chang'an from the Meridian Valley Trail first, much earlier. He is not unscrupulous, but he is afraid of losing and refuses to take risks. Such an assertion.
Zhuge Liang, who has no way to spare, may have his own plans.
He believes that he can "be calm and calm", that is, "take Longyou evenly", the so-called "flat take", in fact, is the meaning of "steady taking".
But it was precisely this "steady take" that made Zhuge Liang lose the opportunity to win with surprise, forming a positional battle between weak Shu and strong Wei in Longyou, and won Cao Wei's "people-making" technique.
Therefore, since Zhuge Liang believed in the stable strategy did not succeed, it failed, and one point was deducted; And Wei Yan has not left the Meridian Valley, so whether this matter can be done or not is still two words, at most it cannot be scored.
From this point of view, Prime Minister Zhuge must have been defeated.
In fact, in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, where is there a war with soldiers that does not carry a little adventure?
During the decisive battle between Yuan and Cao Guandu, Cao Cao ignored his own camp and led light cavalry to burn the Wuchao granary garrisoned by Yuan Shao's heavy troops.
Since Deng Ai smuggled through Yinping, he was a hundred times more risky than Wei Yan's plan, and not only won the victory, but also destroyed the Shu Han regime in one battle.
More importantly, at that time, the Shu Han State was small and weak, and its military, financial, and manpower were far inferior to Cao Wei.
Military strategy pays attention to the combination of odd and positive, and Zhuge Liang only sees its righteousness but not its strangeness when he uses soldiers. Zhuge Liang thinks that "peace from the road", that is, "take Longright", the so-called "level", in fact, is the meaning of "steady".
But it was precisely this "steady take" that made Zhuge Liang lose the opportunity to win with surprise, forming a positional battle between weak Shu and strong Wei in Longyou, and fell into Cao Wei's "people-making" technique.
In fact, "taking the right side of the dragon" is to give up the enemy's throat and take its innocuous place, and if you can't win a blow, you will startle the snake. By the time Zhuge Liang went on his second Northern Expedition, Cao Wei had been heavily guarded in Chencang and Guanzhong, so Guanzhong could no longer try, and Wei Yan's plan was no longer feasible.
