Speaking of the generals of the Three Kingdoms , The "Five Tigers" general did play a main role in the Shuhan camp, but apart from these few, there is another person who is seriously underestimated. The person is Wei Yan, and his contributions to the Shuhan cannot be ignored.
Let’s talk about Wei Wenchang’s achievements first:
正史中的 Wei Yan was never a surrender, and there was no boss of Han Xuan, he should be Liu Bei’s army when he was stationed in the new field. , Before entering Sichuan, he was unknown, equivalent to a pawn like a soldier.
In the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei and his cousin Liu Zhang turned their faces and formally launched their troops to attack Xichuan. After the baptism of this great battle, Wei Yan made numerous military exploits and gradually promoted to the general of Yamen.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao and became the king of Hanzhong, but his foundation was set in Chengdu, so he needed a future to guard Hanzhong. At that time, almost everyone thought that Zhang Fei was the best candidate, because Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, and Hanzhong had only Zhang Fei the most suitable.
But beyond everyone's expectations, Liu Beiju promoted Wei Yan to Zhenyuan general, named Hanzhong prefect, and stayed at Hanzhong. Facts later proved that Wei Yan did not live up to the expectations of King Hanzhong. Guarding Hanzhong for ten years, there is no way for Cao Wei to take him. Cao Wei's famous general Guo Huai was beaten to the ground by him and fled in panic.
After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang took over the power of the Shu Han and carried out six Northern Expeditions. Every time the Northern Expedition, Wei Yan proposed that he led an army to attack Guanzhong, and joined Zhuge Liang to join Tongguan, imitated the example of Han Xinming who built the plank road in the dark.
Especially during the first Northern Expedition, Chang’an Shoujiang 夏侯楙 was a courageous child, brave and inexperienced. Wei Yan proposed the famous "子午谷奇谋", but Zhuge Liang refused, Wei Yan So there are quite a few complaints.
The history of the "Ziwugu Qimou" has always been controversial, and most people believe that the possibility of realization is small. But in contrast, Deng Ai sneaked into the Battle of Yinping later, as long as the Ziwugu Qimou marched fast enough, it was not completely out of chance.
After the five tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty died one after another, the importance of Wei Yan is even more evident. But why was it later beheaded by Zhuge Liang's dying design? The editor believes that there are three main reasons:
. First, when Liu Bei was alive, had repeatedly promoted Wei Yan to . When guarding Hanzhong, Liu Beili rejected all the controversies and promoted Wei Yan, who was originally not qualified, to the prefect of Hanzhong, which made Zhuge Liang very uncomfortable.
As the five tiger generals passed away one after another, Wei Yan is the only character who can equal Zhuge Liang. In the later period of the Northern Expedition, Wei Yan also complained about Zhuge Liang.
Secondly, although Wei Yan is brave and good at leading soldiers, has a arrogant personality and is at odds with Shu Han courtiers, especially with Zhuge Liang’s successor, Yang Yi, who has become a fire and water . Despite Zhuge Liang's many reconciliations, Wei Yan, as a military commander, looked down on Yang Yi from his bones.
Third, the successor of selected by Zhuge Liang is the young Jiangwei , and at this time Jiang Weigen is still light, is not Wei Yan’s opponent , With Wei Yan here, Jiang Wei and Yang Yi will undoubtedly die sooner or later .
In order to keep the stability of the Shuhan, Zhuge Liang can only kill the killer and get rid of the high-ranking and prestigious Wei Yan.
Finally Wei Yan died in Yang Yi and Ma DaiAnd was banished by the three clans. This is in response to Sun Quan’s prophecy "Although Yang Yi and Wei Yan Zhumu Xiaoren, although they have the benefit of barking and barking for current affairs, they have been left to do so, and the situation must not be light. If there is no Zhuge Liang for a time, it will be disaster. "
A generation of famous generals died unjustly.
After Jiang Wan came to power, in gratitude to Wei Yan's achievements before his life, he built a tomb for Wei Yan near Mianyang, Sichuan. Wei Yan's generals secretly built an ancestral hall to worship Wei Yan in the local area, and the incense has continued for more than a thousand years.
