The Prime Minister has been cheated by two of his own people in his life and lost Jieting with carelessness. Another one is the protagonist of this article: Li Yan .
Li Yan’s name is Zhengfang, Nanyang people.
When he was young, he entered the officialdom as a county official and became famous for his talent. When Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, there were voices of surrendering Cao in Jingzhou, but Li Yan, as the magistrate of Zigui , made a unique choice: go west to Shu.
Li Yan's choice is actually worth discussing;
Liu Bei At this time, he was on the way to escape to Xiakou. Li Yan naturally would not take the risk to surrender, but why was this abandoning Cao Cao who was at his peak?
Judging from Li Yan's performance later, this person is very selfish and is very good at calculating his own interests. If you join Cao and cannot become a high-ranking official with his qualifications and background, entering Shu is the best choice. Why not choose Sun Quan ? You can see his position clearly.
What Li Yan didn’t expect was how many points he added to his later political future this time!
Liu Zhang After hearing about Li Yan's county management level, he made him do the most difficult Chengdu order. Li Yan lived up to his expectations and managed Yizhou County in an orderly manner (and can be named)
Li Yan's career in Yizhou was smooth sailing, and Fazheng , who also worked under Liu Zhang, was still the magistrate of Xindu , and was slandered by people in the prefectures and counties, which was very distressed.
Soon, the fate of the two took a huge turn as Liu Bei entered Shu.
Liu Bei went south from Jiameng Pass , and fought two battles with Liu Zhang in Fucheng and Mianzhu. The morale of the Yizhou army was completely destroyed. Li Yan, the guardian who was entrusted with important tasks, also turned against the battlefield. In addition, the central general of the royal relatives, Wu Yi, surrendered in the last battle (In the 18th year of Jian'an, Yan was appointed as the guardian, refused to rule first in Mianzhu, and Yan led the crowd to surrender first in the first place. )
Liu Zhang's army no longer had the determination to fight head-on, and could only hide in the city and hold on. Liu Bei gave a great reward to Li Yan's actions on the spot (the first lord was appointed as General Yan Bi)
After taking Chengdu, Liu Bei was appointed as jianwei prefect and general Xingye. , both civil and military positions, the level is much higher than before.
Li Yan also fully demonstrated his ability. At that time, Yizhou laws and regulations were relaxed, moral and political invincible, and threats were not punished. He participated in the formulation of "Shu Ke" organized by the Prime Minister, and the other four were also well-known; General of Military Advisors Zhuge Liang , General Yangwu and Shu County Prefect Fa Zheng, General Zhaowen Yiji , Left General Xi Cao Opera Liuba (Shu Ke provided the theoretical basis for the Prime Minister's later implementation of "rule of Shu by law")
218, Liu Bei led the main force to attack Hanzhong . Some wealthy families in Yizhou started an unusual move and supported the thieves Ma Qin and Gao Sheng to raise troops in 公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公公�
The main legions of Yizhou were taken to Hanzhong by Liu Bei. At the critical moment, Li Yan stood up and the first lord was in Hanzhong at 5. Yan did not send troops, but led 5,000 county soldiers to attack them and killed Qin, Sheng and other companies. The branches are scattered and all the people are restored.
Soon after, the strongest Yue Yi King Gao Ding, who was in the rebellion in the South Central Central, also jumped out and led his army to besiege Xin Dao County .
Li Yan once again acted as a firefighter , and then crossed the dynasty to lead Gao Ding to encircle Xindao County. Yan Chi went to rescue, and all the thieves were defeated.
Summary of one sentence: Li Yan is very good at fighting!
only led the soldiers of this county to combat two rebellions (from another perspective, we have to say that Li Yan's level of judgement was really high. Before, on the front line of Mianzhu, the surrender was very straightforward)
Li Yan stabilized the rear and made great contributions. Liu Bei then appointed Li Yan as the general of the auxiliary Han, and also served as the former county magistrate as the former county magistrate (added auxiliary Han, and led the county as before)
Although it is just a miscellaneous general, the name "auxiliary Han" sounds like the core backbone!
This can also be seen from the list of eleven leading figures who were later persuaded to enter the Hanzhong Wang .
219, after defeating Cao Cao and winning Hanzhong, everyone persuaded Liu Bei to enter the King of Hanzhong. The top eleven ministers who persuaded him to advance were as follows
Pingxi General Duting Houchen Ma Chao ;
Left general leads Changshi Zhenjun General Chen Xu Jing ;
Battle Sima; Chen Pang Xi ;

General Zhenyuan Expedition and Reign Lai Gong (Ren) Jiaozhou Governor, and later had a dispute with Cangwu Prefect Wu Ju , forced away by Wu Ju, and returned to his hometown Lingling)
Yangwu General Fa Zheng;
Xingye General Li Yan
Li Yan truly entered the core level of Shu Han! This is also the huge political report he had not received before surrendering to Cao Cao!
Jian was in office, and Li Yan was drilled into Tianshe Mountain and built infrastructure such as Yanjiang Avenue, and did a lot of practical things for the local people. (drilled into Tianshe Mountain, built Yanjiang Avenue, and built large-scale construction to renovate the county city, so that "officials and people are pleased with it", and the building is magnificent, making a state of victory)
After the defeat of Yiling, Liu Bei retreated to Yong'an, appointed Li Yan as Shangshu Ling to be familiar with the operation of the inner court, and transferred his troops to defend Yong'an ( Chapter 1 Wu in the second year, first took the lead and conquered Yan to Yong'an Palace , and was appointed Shangshu Ling)
Why did Li Yan choose?
Because of the core team of the previous eleven people, only the Prime Minister and Li Yan were left as the direct line (Lai Gong, Shooting and aid is not Liu Bei's direct line, but with their reputation and status, the real backbone Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng were all gone. The prime minister can only shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty. In terms of ability, status and qualifications, only Li Yan can truly help the Prime Minister. But who would have thought that he would be so vigilant later...)
When Liu Bei died, he entrusted his orphans to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and Secretary Li Yan.
Although there are two ministers who entrusted their orphans, only one person who is truly relieved by Liu Bei: Prime Minister!
"Your talent is ten times Cao Pi , you will be able to safeguard the country and make a great event in the end. If your descendants can be assisted, you can assist you; if you are not talented, you can take it yourself."
This is the complete handing over the country to the Prime Minister.
Li Yan is actually not a real deputy. His main task is to be optimistic about the east gate of Yizhou. If there is chaos in Yizhou, you must also go to Chengdu to serve the king ( regard Yan as the central governor, governing internal and external military affairs, and staying in Yong'an)
After Liu Chan ascended the throne, he continued to implement Liu Bei's will. The Prime Minister was appointed as the Marquis of Wuxiang , and found the government to govern the affairs and take over the governor of Yizhou; ( Prime Minister Kaifu has his own administrative team, and the governor of Yizhou shall take charge of military, government and finance); Li Yan is appointed as the Marquis of Duxiang, Fake Festival , and add Guangluxun.
But Li Yan did not understand Liu Bei's intentions. He was too selfish and began to have other ideas because of the increase in power. As the minister of the orphanage, he was very unhappy that all the power of Shu Han had been returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He began to compete with the Prime Minister for power!
