Chapter 251: Knowing People and Employing People Train Wei Yan

In September of the first year of Han Zhangwu, Wei Yan led the pro-army down to the outside of Wudang County.

When he learned that Mi Yang was going to transfer him that day, Wei Yan had a lot of resentment in his heart.

When he first met Mi Yang, Mi Yang was just a partial general, and his official position was far below him.

But he didn't expect that it didn't take long for Mi Yang to become his top boss because of the Battle of Xicheng.

When Mi Yang was a partial general, Wei Yan would also have an elder-like appreciation for Mi Yang's public security battle because of his status as an elder.

But now, when Mi Yang, who is a junior, climbs on top of him, even if Wei Yan knows in his heart that Mi Yang can get his current status because of his strength, he still has resentment in his heart.

Most of the origin of this resentment comes from Wei Yan's very selfish personality.

But beyond that, there's another reason.

He can easily obtain everything he has asked for!

At the beginning, he was appreciated by Liu Bei by sacrificing the meridian plot, so that he jumped from the general of Yiyamen to the governor of Hanzhong, which caused great shock to the whole army.

Needless to say, the status of the governor of Hanzhong, and Wei Yan's previous qualifications, military exploits, and prestige were completely unqualified to serve as the governor of a town, so his promotion would cause great controversy.

To put it bluntly, everyone disagrees with him.

Although later, because of his arrogant words, the public opinion in the army was temporarily suppressed, but everyone looked at Liu Bei's authority.

In the hearts of the generals, Wei Yan is still unworthy.

It was precisely because he did not have enough military exploits to match his status, so when Fa Miao arrived in Hanzhong with Liu Bei's royal order, even if he managed his troops well, his military power was quickly taken away.

It is precisely because of this that Wei Yan, who made the generals unconvinced, caused the collective dissatisfaction of the generals when he expressed disrespect to Mi Yang.

To put it more bluntly, in the case that Wei Yangong is not worthy, everyone only regards him as a "fortunate minister".

Because of everyone's impression, coupled with Wei Yan's very bad character, he fell to the point where he is now resisted by the generals of Hanzhong.

In the troubled times, everything speaks with military exploits.

is like Mi Yang, in terms of qualifications, Mi Yang is lower than Wei Yan.

In terms of age, Mi Yang is the younger generation of many generals.

As for the relationship with Liu Bei, Mi Yang is more like a fortunate minister.

But because of his repeated military exploits, he has now achieved such a high status, which is convincing.

It was only after knowing Mi Yang's meritorious service experience that Wei Yan's resentment in his heart became even worse.

Mi Yang's experience at the beginning was too similar to his.

At the beginning, Mi Yang was valued by Guan Yu because of his advice, so he was given the important task of garrisoning the public security.

Isn't the public security and Jingzhou at that time the same as Hanzhong and Yizhou today?

But it's a pity that Mi Yang made a splash by stationing the public security, so that the world knows the name of Mi Lang.

But since Wei Yan was stationed in Hanzhong, he has not been given the opportunity to show his talents, so that he has been in the question of whether he is worthy of merit.

This kind of doubt can even spread to Jianye, which is thousands of miles away, which shows how deep the doubts about Wei Yan are in the hearts of the generals.

Although Wei Yan has an arrogant personality, his IQ is not low, and he is not unaware of this kind of doubt that has been circulating in the hearts of the generals for a long time.

It was because he knew that he wanted Mi Yang to support his Meridian Valley plot in the first place, so that he could have a chance to make meritorious contributions.

But it's a pity that Wei Yan didn't wait for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but waited for Mi Yang, who had the same Mi Yang as him, and made meritorious deeds step by step, and finally completely surpassed him.

What Mi Yang has at present is exactly what he has always dreamed of.

In Wei Yan's heart, the reason why Mi Yang was able to achieve this achievement was not only because of his own talent, but also because he had more luck than himself.

As long as there is Mi Yang, there will be enemies, and this kind of luck is something he does not have.

Mi Yang's existence is like a mirror, and his ascension seems to be there

Reflect all kinds of unhappiness in yourself.

Now Mi Yang has transferred him away from Hanzhong, which he regards as a meritorious treasure, which makes Wei Yan's resentment towards Mi Yang even deeper.

With complicated feelings, Wei Yan came to the military camp outside Wudang City with a gloomy face to meet Mi Yang.

As early as when Wei Yan was about to arrive outside Wudang City, Mi Yang learned about his whereabouts through spies.

Because Mi Yang wanted Wei Yan to stay in the barracks, he ordered Wei Yan not to enter the city in advance, and he would meet him in the barracks.

When Wei Yan led more than 1,000 pro-troops into the barracks, the officers who had been waiting at the gate of the barracks for a long time took Wei Yan towards Miyang's main tent after verifying that Wei Yan's identity was correct.

On the way to Miyang's main tent, Wei Yan carefully observed the layout in the camp.

He didn't have bad intentions, but it was a habit he had developed over the years in the army.

Under observation, Wei Yan found that although there were not many people in the Han army's camp, the camps were arranged in an orderly manner, and they were well prepared for attack and defense, which could be said to be without omission.

This made Wei Yan nod secretly.

Although Wei Yan is resentful of Mi Yang, he has no doubts about Mi Yang's ability.

After all, the iron-like exploits are there, and Wei Yan is not a person who can't accept reality.

Under the leadership of the officer, Wei Yan soon came to Miyang's main tent.

When Wei Yan entered Mi Yang's main tent, he saw Mi Yang sitting on the main seat at a glance, as well as the scepter held by a young general beside him.

That scepter was given to Mi Yang by Liu Bei, a token that wielded all the rights of life and death in wartime.

After seeing the scepter, Wei Yan's eyes froze, and then he looked at the generals present with a scrutinizing gaze.

He found that among the generals present, there were many fresh faces, and he thought that these were all Mi Yang's descendant generals.

But compared to most of the fresh faces, Wei Yan still saw some familiar faces.

For example, Feng Xi.

The time when Feng Xi defected to Liu Bei was not far from him, and before he became the governor of Hanzhong, Feng Xi's military exploits were still looming above him.

It's just that even if he saw an old acquaintance, Wei Yan didn't see it, he came to Mi Yang with a black face and bowed to him and said:

"Meet General Zuo."

In front of Mi Yang, Wei Yan restrained some arrogant character, after all, the Son of Heaven Fu Festival was by Mi Yang's side.

Seeing that Wei Yan didn't look like his eyes were above the top, a smile appeared on the corner of Mi Yang's mouth.

Yesterday, Fa Miao's recital reached Mi Yang's hands first, and Mi Yang learned from Fa Miao's recital that Wei Yan's performance after receiving his military order that day.

The reason why Fa Miao truthfully informed Mi Yang of Wei Yan's performance in the report was because he wanted to give Mi Yang a preventive shot.

In Fa Miao's words, there were signs of saying good things for Wei Yan.

He told Mi Yang that Wei Yan was a talented person, but his personality was too arrogant, so he hoped that Mi Yang would be more tolerant of Wei Yan.

This is also thanks to Fa Miao, who has a relatively mild personality, if Fa Zheng Shi Wei Yan dared to do so in front of him, he might have been escorted back to Chengdu by Fa Zheng to be brought to justice.

Because of Fa Miao's advance announcement, Mi Yang specially took out the scepter given by Liu Bei when he met Wei Yan today.

Now it seems that the scepter is still useful.

It's just that although Wei Yan saluted Mi Yang, the gloomy and unwilling look on his face could be seen by everyone present.

Facing Wei Yan's visit, Mi Yang did not react for a while.

And because Mi Yang did not respond to Wei Yan's visit, Wei Yan could only keep his posture bent.

If Mi Yang just didn't let Wei Yan get up for a while, Wei Yan could still understand.

But as time passed, Mi Yang hadn't let Wei Yan get up, and the dissatisfaction on Wei Yan's face began to thicken.

Wei Yan thought that Mi Yang was deliberately suppressing him.

Originally, he was suddenly transferred to Wudang by Mi Yang, and he was angry.

In his opinion, Guanzhong Cao Zhen's invasion of Hanzhong was imminent, and at this time, Mi Yang suddenly transferred him out of Hanzhong, obviously deliberately targeting him.

Now Mi Yang embarrassed him in public again, how could Wei Yan, who had a rough personality, endure it.

But when Wei Yan was about to have a seizure, Mi Yang's words suddenly came.

"Wen Chang thinks that Cao Zhen will send troops to commit me in Hanzhong this time?"

Wei Yannai was a general who loved military affairs, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he heard Mi Yang ask him about the defense of Hanzhong, he immediately suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Now is the period of wheat seeds in Guanzhong, although Cao Zhen has a military strategy, but the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first."

"Moreover, it is the rainy season in Hanzhong, and since the beginning of autumn, it has been rainy in Hanzhong, and most of the four roads in Guanzhong are muddy and difficult to walk."

"At this time, even if Cao Zhen has the intention of entering the army in a big way, I am afraid that the maximum number of troops raised is not more than 20,000."

Hearing Wei Yan say this, Mi Yang was noncommittal, and he continued to ask Wei Yan, "Then according to Wen Chang's opinion, how is the defense of Hanzhong that I have done?"

Faced with Mi Yang's inquiry, Wei Yan thought about it and said, "General Zuo's defense arrangements are mostly based on the terrain of Hanzhong, and our army is defending according to the danger.

If Cao Zhen does not lead many troops, our army will be able to garrison Hanzhong without worry."

Although Wei Yan left without listening to Mi Yang's defense arrangements that day, he was worried about Hanzhong's defense afterwards, so he still learned about Mi Yang's specific arrangements from other people.

In Wei Yan's opinion, Mi Yang's arrangement is very proper, and with an experienced veteran like Wu Yi stationed, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of Hanzhong.

After Wei Yan answered two questions in a row, Mi Yang finally asked Wei Yan:

"That Wen Chang thinks that compared to repelling Cao Zhen's troops, which already did not have many troops, if our army can repel the Luoyang Chinese army led by Cao Pi himself, which merit will be greater?"

Hearing Mi Yang say this, Wei Yan raised his head suddenly and looked at Mi Yang with eager eyes.

Does this still need to be compared?

After Mi Yang found out that Cao Pi might personally lead the army, in order not to cause turmoil in the hearts of the people, he did not spread this matter widely.

Wei Yan, who lost his military power in Hanzhong, of course didn't know about it.

Now after he knew this, the desire to make meritorious service in his heart immediately filled his heart.

At this time, Wei Yan's resentment towards Mi Yang in his heart had disappeared without a trace under his desire to make meritorious contributions.

As long as he can make meritorious contributions to wash away the doubts on his body and make him raise his eyebrows, then why not obey Mi Yang's orders?

What Wei Yan didn't know at this time was that under the step-by-step temptation of Mi Yang, his mentality towards Mi Yang was also quietly changing.

Just now, he was still thinking about resisting Mi Yang.

When he saw Wei Yan looking at him with eager eyes, Mi Yang stopped talking.

He didn't say anything about the specific plan, nor did he reveal further information about Cao Pi's army, he just let Wei Yanhao rest on the grounds that Wei Yan's boat was tired.

But at this time, where did Wei Yan still have the heart to rest.

In the past, he was questioned too much, which made him arrogant, and he has been holding a breath in his heart.

Now that he has an opportunity to wash away the doubts he has been subjected to, how can he let it go so easily!

Wei Yan hurriedly took a few steps forward towards Mi Yang's location, but before he could take a few steps, he was already stopped by Mi Yang's personal guards.

Wei Yan made the mistake of impulsiveness again.

Wei Yan looked at Mi Yang, who was sitting on the main seat, and saw that he didn't say anything more.

At this time, even if he was extremely anxious, he could only reluctantly retreat in the end.

Mi Yang is his main general after all, and Mi Yang has now given him hope, he can't help but listen to Mi Yang.

After Wei Yan left, Mi Yang waved his hand to let all the generals in the big tent go down first.

After everyone left, Mi Yang took out the "Records of Zhengmou" that Fa Zheng left to him, and he opened the chapter on knowing people.

in this chapter

The first sentence of the opening chapter is: the law of the main general, the heart of the hero. However, it is not easy for people to know, and it is not easy to know people. ......

In this chapter, Fa Zheng explains in detail what the first priority of being a master is, that is, to know how to use people.

Only by knowing people can we employ people.

Only by employing people can people make the best use of their talents, so as to gather the strength of everyone and make the army invincible.

However, Fa Zheng also points out in this chapter that it is not easy to know people.

Because the human heart is unpredictable.

It's just that this is not easy for ordinary people, but sometimes it is very easy for Mi Yang, a traverser.

Because his mind records the life experiences, evaluations, and evaluations of many celebrities.

Of course, people become, and it's easy to hide your true self.

Therefore, Mi Yang will not arbitrarily judge his heart in a specific period by his life.

So just now he also adopted what Fa Zheng taught, "Examine it slightly, so as to observe its words; Tempt it to profit, to see its color." This method is used to judge Wei Yan's current thoughts.

With speculation in his heart and Fang Cai's judgment, Mi Yang roughly knew what Wei Yan's thoughts were now.

That's the thirst for merit.

As long as you know what a person's heart desires, then you can better control him.

Wei Yan's character has been set, and even if Liu Bei comes, he can't change Wei Yan's character.

But Wei Yan is talented.

It would be a pity for such a talented person to abandon him just because of his character.

Therefore, in order to be able to make good use of Wei Yan's sharp blade, Mi Yang must first learn to control him.

If you think that Mi Yang transferred him to Wudang just because he was afraid of Wei Yan's character, it would be too much to underestimate him.

Mi Yang's target now is the entire north.

Therefore, he must gather all the forces he can muster, otherwise how will he overthrow the prosperous north in the future.

This is the current pattern that his identity should be in.

As for why Mi Yang suddenly stopped talking after mobilizing Wei Yan's desire to fight, it was because although Wei Yan's character could not be changed, it needed to be polished.

Give him hope but don't tell him what to do next, with Wei Yan's earnest character, he will definitely redouble his subjective initiative in the future.

As long as Wei Yanyi does this, then he will automatically assume the identity of Mi Yang's subordinate invisibly and give him advice.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, once Wei Yan has the first time, under the subtlety of time, Wei Yan will slowly accept this reality.

As long as Wei Yan is eager to make meritorious contributions, how fast he will be able to take on the identity of Mi Yang's subordinate.

Then Mi Yang picked up the information he had just received from the table, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Pi goose arrived.
