Wei Yan There is reverse bone behind the brain, which has become the reason why many people think that Zhuge Liang is determined to kill Wei Yan . The great cause of restoring the Han Dynasty has not been completed yet, how can an unstable piece be left?
is just such a superstitious statement. Is it really a reason why Zhuge Liang made up his mind to arrange for Ma Dai to kill Wei Yan? When did the political struggle become so absurd? The actual truth is nothing more than the four words - has great achievements and is the main .
Wei Yan's achievements
In the 16th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei accepted the invitation from Liu Zhang and entered Sichuan to help Liu Zhang resisted Zhang Lu . Wei Yan followed Liu Bei into Sichuan to fight with his troops.
During the entire battle, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong and worked together to not only pacify Guanghan County , but also helped Liu Bei conquer the important town of Luocheng, and surrounded Chengdu with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others.
It only took Wei Yan a year to be promoted from an unknown general to the general of Yamen. A few years later, Liu Bei claimed to be the king of Hanzhong in Mianyang and established his "capital" in Chengdu.
At this time, a general needs to stand up and guard Hanzhong , and shoulder the important task of "defending the enemy at the national gate". Originally, many people concluded that when Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou , Zhang Fei was the only one in Hanzhong.
Even Zhang Fei had already packed his luggage and was waiting for the letter of appointment. As a result, Liu Bei unexpectedly promoted Wei Yan to the prefect of Hanzhong , and directly promoted from General Yamen to General Zhenyuan. Such courtesy is definitely unprecedented and beyond in Shu Kingdom.
From Liu Bei's attitude towards Wei Yan, he was absolutely very satisfied with Wei Yan. Even though Zhuge Liang once commented that Wei Yan had a rebellious backbone behind his head, Liu Bei would doubt that he would not use it or use it.
But does Wei Yan deserve Liu Bei’s trust? One or two can be seen from his answer to Liu Bei: If Cao Cao brings the whole country to come, I ask to block him for the king.
If a general leads an army of 100,000, I ask to swallow him for the king. Even the Five Tiger Generals are far behind Wei Yan in this regard.
neither belittles himself nor is arrogant, and can afford the word good general .
has great achievements and is the main one
Since that's the case, why did Zhuge Liang have to kill Wei Yan? Perhaps under his leadership, Shu Kingdom was still able to adhere to the ideal of the Northern Expedition, which is not certain. The reason is as mentioned in the previous article. At this time, Wei Yan was considered to be of great significance to the master.
When Zhuge Liang made a Northern Expedition to , the old generals in Shu were basically dead. Guan Yu was defeated and left Maicheng, and was ordered to be cut off by Sun Quan. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei raised their army to take revenge. Zhang Fei was killed on the way, while Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling and then died of illness in Baidi City.
Huang Zhong died before Liu Bei became emperor, and Ma Chao has always been famous but not real power. Even the youngest Zhao Yun died of illness in Hanzhong in 229 AD.
At the time of the Northern Expedition, the generals of Shu Kingdom had withered to this point, and Wei Yanhui was destined to be the dominant one. When Zhuge Liang was alive, he was able to suppress Wei Yan with his identity, achievements and wisdom. But once Zhuge Liang dies, who can still stop Wei Yan of Shu?
, especially the Shu late leader , Liu Chan , can he compete with Wei Yan in political struggle? It's not realistic at all. In order to avoid the appearance of characters like General He Jin , or Dong Zhuo , Zhuge Liang could only make arrangements as soon as possible. Similar situations are not uncommon for
. Hanxin in the early Han Dynasty are the best examples. Although Wei Yan could not compare with Han Xin's achievements, the contributions and threats of the two in their power were too great.
Zhuge Liang failed to succeed in the Northern Expedition when he was alive. In fact, he no longer had too much hope for the Northern Expedition. To put it bluntly, who else in Shu can do something that you can't even do?
So in this case, if you want to maintain Liu Bei's foundation, you must maintain internal stability.Once Wei Yan takes credit and exceeds the rules and rituals, the entire Shu court and development of Shu will be seriously affected, which is even more unacceptable.
plotted
Zhuge Liang stationed his troops Wuzhangyuan , and when the Shu Kingdom military and political meeting was held for the last time, a group of ministers from Shu Han were convened to arrange their funeral afterwards.
In order to ensure that all officers and soldiers can safely return to Shu Kingdom, Zhuge Liang determined the future combat policy and combat command discipline at the meeting.
It is worth mentioning that Wei Yan, a general of Shu, did not receive a meeting notice. From this moment on, Zhuge Liang was destined to exclude Wei Yan.
even waited for Wei Yan to resist, and Zhuge Liang's backhand was enough to hold Wei Yan tightly. If possible, Zhuge Liang actually didn't plan to attack Wei Yan.
There is a rebellious bone behind the brain, at least the ability is there. It’s a pity that things don’t go as they wish, and the political hidden dangers that are overwhelming with great achievements ultimately need to be solved by yourself.
subsequent development was indeed as Zhuge Liang expected, Wei Yan disobeyed , and Ma Dai finally successfully killed him. Compared with the glory of the first half of his life, Wei Yan's ending was also desolate. A generation of heroes and famous generals eventually became victims under the political whirlpool.
However, Ma Dai's martial arts are mediocre, why can he kill Wei Yan? Zhuge Liang plotted to get rid of Wei Yan, so why don’t he make more preparations? Nothing else, Ma Dai and his name are Ding Lin, "Martin Lin specializes in treating Wei Yan" .
