Wei Yan was the first general in the Shu Han Dynasty except for the Five Tiger Generals, and it is estimated that no one will object to this positioning! The historical Wei Yan led his qubu to Liu Bei when he entered the river. Therefore, Wei Yan joined Liu Bei's group relatively late.
It is gold that always shines. When Liu Bei became the queen of Hanzhong and elected the general Zhen shou Hanzhong, almost everyone at that time thought it would be Zhang Fei. What was expected of Liu Bei was unexpectedly chosen by Wei Yan. In hindsight, Liu Bei's choice was quite correct. Wei Yan put the strategic point of shu Han in Hanzhong, and the operation was impregnable.
With the death of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, the old and the old, among the new generation of generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, Wei Yan became the top pillar. Zhuge Liang carried Wei Yan with him five times during the Northern Expedition. It was not that Zhuge Liang did not trust Wei Yan and was afraid that he would rebel, but in fact, he regarded Wei Yan as his right and left arm.
But at this moment, Zhuge Liang's other left arm and right arm, along with the killing of Ma Mo, also gradually surfaced, changing from Ma Mo to Yang Yi.
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan and Yang Yi were on the same page. After many frictions, Wei Yan drew his sword several times to intimidate Yang Yi. And Zhuge Liang also became a "big mother of the neighborhood committee", often mediating the relationship between the two, and bothered a lot for this.
Before Zhuge Liangxing fell to Wuzhangyuan, he explained the aftermath, let Yang Yi take charge of the power, and returned to Shu Han with the three armies. At the same time, it was also specially explained, don't be difficult for Wei Yan. If he still wants to continue the Northern Expedition, then go with him.
Unexpectedly, after Zhuge Liang's death, Yang Yi made a small move and ordered Fei Yi to test Wei Yan, which triggered Wei Yan's misunderstanding: he thought that Fei Yi and others also agreed to let him continue the Northern Expedition, so wishful thinking also discussed the list of the Northern Expedition with Fei Yi, who was responsible for escorting Zhuge Liang's body back to Shu Han.
Judging from this record, Wei Yan didn't realize that danger was coming at all! Sure enough, after Fei Yi returned, Yang Yi and others left Wei Yan and returned with a large army. When Wei Yan reacted, he was furious, obviously playing me. Therefore, it happened that Wei Yan led an army to block Yang Yi, and was eventually killed by Ma Dai and exterminated the three tribes.
The reason why Wei Yan ended up like this, through the above introduction, it is easy to find that there are two aspects of the problem.
First, Wei Yan's excessive attachment to power. The reason why Wei Yan and Yang Yi formed a point of intolerance between water and fire was that they wanted to inherit Zhuge Liang's military power. Because he has this qualification, he has more ability.
As early as Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, he had proposed to send troops out of the Meridian Valley, and after being vetoed by Zhuge Liang, he had always been grumpy. And after Zhuge Liang's death, he also said: Although Xiang Xiang is dead, I am still here. You can't delay a big thing because of one person.
It is well known that if one is too attached to one aspect, one will neglect the others, because it is extremely easy to fall into danger. This was the case with Wei Yan, who was too attached to military power, and naturally had various contradictions with Yang Yi. Because Yang Yi, this person, is even more greedy for power than Wei Yan!
In this way, a pattern of a mountain that does not tolerate two tigers has been formed, and although Zhuge Liang knows it, he cannot completely change it, one is old, and the other is that he really needs these two people very much. This formed Zhuge Liang, and neither of them dared to stab. But as soon as Zhuge Liang died, the two fell into infighting. Yang Yi had won, so he had to cut the grass and root out Wei Yan, denying that he could not live.
Second, Wei Yan was too unsuccessful in terms of being a man. The reason for wei yan's fiasco in the power struggle with Yang Yi was directly related to Wei Yan's failure as a human being.
Wei Yan's personality was too grumpy. For example, he pulled out his sword at every turn and intimidated Yang Yi. What do you make others think? For example, since you Wei Yan is so bullish, why don't you dare to be bullish on Liu Yan? Liu Yan was the elder of the Shu Han Dynasty, who once scolded Wei Yan to the point of crying, and finally Zhuge Liang came forward to reprimand Liu Yan and regain face for Wei Yan.
Naturally, this incident also exposed Wei Yan's "bluff" and watched people get off the plate. Such a personality, in fact, has been doomed to Wei Yan, can only be a general, not a handsome!
Shuai, the most critical place is to integrate all people's abilities and maximize them. And Wei Yan's personality was doomed to not only fail to achieve this ability, but often make enemies for himself. Therefore, when Wei Yan gambled on Yang Yi's army to return to Xichuan, Wang Ping's words occurred: The bones of Xiang Xiang are not cold, are you going to rebel? Immediately, Wei Yan's army dispersed. Wei Yan had to flee in a hurry and was eventually killed.
Therefore, wei Yan's death was more due to himself. But it reminds us today: no matter how big a person is, he must pay attention to it, be a person, and must not make enemies everywhere, do things, and not be too persistent, and ignore the crisis in other aspects.
