After Zhuge Liang's death, Shu Han general Wei Yan was in conflict with Yang Yi and was killed by Ma Dai . So, who was wrong in Wei Yan's death? Was he wrongly accused? In fact, he never thought about rebellion. Today, let’s explore it together.
born reverse bone
Many people's impression of Shu Han general Wei Yan comes from the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Wei Yan turned out to be not valued under Changsha prefect Han Xuan . After persuading Huang Zhong to surrender Liu Bei to surrender Liu Bei failed, he directly killed his boss Han Xuan, surrendered to Liu Bei, and was able to use it. At that time, Zhuge Liang was resentful of Wei Yan's killing his boss, and Wei Yan was born with a rebellious attitude, thinking that this person was unreliable.
However, there is no record in official history. It is purely nonsense to say that he is born with a rebellious bone, and even the background and previous experiences are blank. It only records that Wei Yan, as Liu Bei's troops, entered Shu with the army, made many military achievements in the battle between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang. He was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Bei and served as the prefect of Hanzhong and guarded the strategic location of Hanzhong.
It is said that at that time, many people thought that Liu Bei would grant the position of Hanzhong prefect to his third brother Zhang Fei , but in the end he unexpectedly gave it to Wei Yan. It can be seen from this that Wei Yan was deeply trusted by Liu Bei and had great abilities. Wei Yan was also a fierce man. He did not disappoint Liu Bei's expectations. He guarded the strategic location of Hanzhong for many years and did not give Cao Wei an opportunity to take advantage of it. He also cooperated with Zhuge Liang to lead the army to fight Nanman , and did a good job of cooperation, so that Zhuge Liang had no worries about the southern expedition.
Later, Zhuge Liang's northern expedition . Wei Yan, as a general of Shu Han, went to the army with the army, not only proposed Ziwugu Qiming , but because Zhuge Liang was cautious and did not adopt it, but also made many military achievements. The Battle of Yangxi defeated Guo Huai and Fei Yao, Lucheng Battle defeated Sima Yi and achieved the results of 3,000 firsts. He can be said to be a fierce general.
was brutally killed
However, after Zhuge Liang died of illness, a fierce general was killed by Yang Yi and others. The cause was that after Zhuge Liang's death, Yang Yi and Jiang Wei 2, in accordance with Zhuge Liang's order, gave up the Northern Expedition, withdrew to Chengdu, and let Wei Yan cut off the rear. However, Wei Yan believed that the Northern Expedition could not be given up just because of Zhuge Liang's death, and insisted on continuing the Northern Expedition and was unwilling to withdraw his troops. In addition, Wei Yan was not in harmony with Yang Yi, so he had long seen Yang Yi not happy, so how could he obey his orders? At this time, Wei Yan was determined to take control of the military power of the Northern Expedition Army, continue the Northern Expedition, and achieve his grand plans.
But this Wei Yan was too extreme. He ran directly to the front of the army, burned down the plank road for the army to retreat, and led his army to confront Yang Yi's army. The two of them had conflicts, and the enemies were particularly jealous when they met. Yang Yi reported directly to Liu Chan Wei Yan's rebellion. Afterwards, Wei Yan made another move and led his army to attack Yang Yi's army, giving Yang Yi the excuse to kill him. After Wei Yan betrayed his relatives, he was killed by Ma Dai and was also barred by the three tribes.
said that Wei Yan was going to rebel, and he was really wronged. He never thought about rebellion at all. If Wei Yan wanted to rebel, why did he choose this opportunity? Is it because Zhuge Liang died and gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it? In fact, Wei Yan followed Liu Bei for more than 20 years and was the backbone of Shu Han and guarded the strategic location of Hanzhong for many years. If he wanted to rebel, he surrendered long ago when he was guarding Hanzhong, and would not choose to rebel at this time.
According to " Three Kingdoms ", "Originally, Yan Yi did not surrender to Wei in the north and returned to the south, but wanted to kill Yi, etc.." At that time, Wei Yan did not think of rebellion at all. He just wanted to kill Yang Yi, and had no intention of rebellion.
Conclusion
To be honest, Wei Yan never thought about rebellion at all, but ended up like this, which is really a bit unfair.If anyone is wrong, there should be three mistakes: one is that Zhuge Liang, the boss of Yang Yi and Wei Yan, he knew that the two had conflicts, but did not make any arrangements, leaving hidden dangers for him; the second is that Yang Yi ignored the overall situation and forced Wei Yan to rise up to death; the third is that Wei Yan himself was also furious, openly disobeying orders, blocking and attacking the army, and was also committed suicide. Wei Yan's death was a great loss to Shu Han. From then on, Shu Han could no longer be the general who could stand alone, which is a pity!
