secondly, although Zhuge Liang made the remark of "retiring from the army after his death", he did not appoint anyone as the commander-in-chief of the whole army. Just "make Wei Yan break the rear" and Jiang Wei "take the second place", which plays an auxiliary role in connecting the front and rear armies. What is Yang Yi's position? I don't know Looking at the future development, it seems that the whole army has decided that Zhuge Liang asked Yang Yi to temporarily take the post of commander-in-chief of the whole army. As a matter of fact, Yang Yi was not formally appointed by the Shu Han court or Zhuge Liang before his death. Yang Yi commanded the whole army with an improper name and bad words, which laid a curse for Wei and Yang. Third, Zhuge Liang secretly ordered: "If we delay or do not obey, the army will spontaneously." This seems to have presupposed that Wei Yan will disobey orders as "rebellion" in the future. Why Zhuge Liang made such an arrangement is not recorded in history. There are three reasons for redundancy. First, Zhuge Liang was too cautious in using troops all his life because of his lack of actual combat experience. Therefore, Chen Shou commented that he was "long in managing Rong, short in his ingenuity, and better in managing the people than in general". . Wei Yan has always advocated surprise victory in fighting. Zhuge Liang's biggest concern is that if he is given military command, Wei Yan will violate his established military line and act according to his own operational strategy, which Zhuge Liang cannot tolerate. Secondly, in selecting officials and using talents, Zhuge Liang takes "serving the post and being reasonable" as the standard. Please look at the famous "Former Teacher's List" and then analyze the officials he praised, recommended and reused, such as Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Jiang Wan, Jiang Wei and Xiang Chong, all of whom are well-behaved and meet the standard of "being an official". Wei Yan, however, is a general with his own independent opinions, who is "arrogant" and "not arrogant". He prides himself on Han Xin, thinks Zhuge Liang is timid, and often laments his lack of talent. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang monopolized the power of the DPRK. "No matter how detailed the political affairs are, the salt is determined by the light". Even Liu Chan, who died, claimed that he was "politically led by Koch, and the sacrifice was just me". The History of the Three Kingdoms (Volume 33) and The Biography of the Dead cited Wei Lue. . Wei Yan often doesn't buy Zhuge Liang's account, which of course leads to Zhuge Liang's jealousy. Third, Zhuge Liang excluded Wei Yan to clear the way for his successors Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and Jiang Wei. "The Biography of the Three Kingdoms and Jiang Wan" contains: "Every word is bright,' Gong Yan (Jiang Wan's word) is loyal and elegant, and he should praise Wang Ye with me'. After the secret watch, the Lord said,' If I am unlucky, I will pay Wan for the later matters.' On Zhuge Liang's deathbed, the late master sent a servant from Shangshu to shoot Li Fu and asked Zhuge Liang, "Who can be a great event after a hundred years?" Zhuge Liang replied, "After Jiang Wan, Wen Wei (Fei Yi) can succeed him." The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 45, Biography of Yang Opera, quotes Yizhou's Old Miscellaneous Notes. Jiang Wei joined Shu Han in 228 AD, and Zhuge Liang hit it off at once and praised him for his "loyalty to current affairs and precise thinking". Very sensitive to the military, he has both courage and deep understanding of the soldiers. This person's heart is in the Han Dynasty, but he is also a person. "He was soon promoted to be the general of the Chinese military expedition to the west. Zhuge Liang knew that Wei Yan was a big obstacle if Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and Jiang Wei were to take charge of the political affairs, military and political affairs smoothly, because Wei Yan enjoyed high prestige in the DPRK and the army, and "the theory of Ji Shi must be replaced by Zhuge Liang". . In order to exclude dissidents, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate to destroy the pillars of Shu Han's country and wanted to kill Wei Yan. Although the cause of Wei Yan's murder is closely related to Zhuge Liang, it is not Zhuge Liang's dying life after all. Yang Yi is the chief culprit in killing Wei Yan, and of course Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun and others also bear certain responsibilities. The contradiction between Wei Yan and Yang Yi has a long history. Wei Yan is arrogant and Yang Yi is conceited, and their relationship is in the same boat. "Military adviser Wei Yan and Yang Yi, a long history, hated each other. Every time they sat side by side, they argued, delayed or raised their knives, and the instruments wept and wept." The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 44, Biography of Fei Yi. It has reached the point where ice and charcoal can't be used together. How did Zhuge Liang express his position on the conflict between Wei and Yang? History says: "I deeply cherish the talent of the instrument, relying on Wei Yan's bravery, I often hate the injustice of the two, and I can't bear to be partial." The reflection, volume 4, Biography of Yang Yi. On the surface, Zhuge Liang pretended to be impartial and "could not bear to be partial", but when Wuzhangyuan was seriously ill, he had tilted the balance of power and emotion to Yang Yi's side. Wei Yan failed to participate in Zhuge Liang's final decision, and was appointed as a general, which was equivalent to granting Yang Yi the highest command of the whole army. After Zhuge Liang's death, Yang Yi kept it a secret, and ordered Fei Yi to test Wei Yan's intentions and plans. Wei Yan said to Fei Yi, "Although the Prime Minister is dead, I see that I am here, and the family members of the government can bury the funeral. I should lead all the troops to fight the thieves. Why should I kill the evil things in the world with one person?" And who Wei Yan is, when Yang Yi is in charge, he will make a break! " Same as ②. Wei Yan's words, if in terms of rank, are not chaotic, if in terms of public and private, are not inappropriate. For Shu, "Han thieves are at odds, and Wang Ye is not partial." The History of the Three Kingdoms (Volume 35) Zhuge Liang Biography quotes Han Jin Chun Qiu and Yuan Zi. Cutting Wei is a great event in the world. When Zhuge Liang died, he withdrew the 1, troops who were approaching Wei Shui and Chang 'an, and abandoned the great cause of the Northern Expedition. Isn't it a waste of public affairs? Moreover, after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei also made nine northern expeditions, and Wei Yan's military talents far exceeded Jiang Wei's. Why can't he follow the ambition of Wu Hou and take on the heavy responsibility of conquering Wei? In addition, Wei Yan's official position is above Yang Yi, and there is no need to obey Yang Yi's command. Because of this, Wei Yancai "made a reservation with Fei Yi * * *, and made Yi's calligraphy sign his name and sue the generals". That is to say, he and Fei Yi re-discussed the steps of funeral service: who will escort Zhuge Liang's coffin back to Shu and who will lead troops to continue the Northern Expedition, and both of them signed their names, ready to convey to the troops. However, Fei Yi was duplicitous and sought a way out. He lied to Wei Yan and said, "When you are a gentleman, you should know Yang Changshi. If you are a scholar with a long history, you will be more military." Using this as an excuse, "Fei Yi went out and galloped away", and then he was treacherous and helped Yang Yi to retreat to Shu. It was only when Wei Yan "sent people to wait for the instrument" that he realized that he had been fooled, and the army had "made a clear case and the battalions led the army back again and again." Of course, Wei Yan was furious. Taking advantage of Yang Yi's slow March, he took the lead and "led the path to the south first, and burned it to the death." Wei Yan's intention is very clear. Because Yang Yi has mastered the commander-in-chief power of the whole army, she can't compete with it, so she can only rush back to Chengdu and tell the Lord what happened. Yang Yi is not willing to lag behind, so both of them went to Liu Chan, calling each other "rebellious" and "in one day, the feathers were handed over". Liu Chan, who had no definite view, couldn't tell what was right and wrong, and asked about this matter: "Serve Dong Yun, and stay with the governor, Jiang Wan.". Jiang Wan and Dong Yun are both Zhuge Liang's confidants. In addition, Wei Yan has always had a bad relationship with his colleagues, and "the generals are different at ordinary times" and "they all avoided it at that time". Therefore, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun "doubt Xian Baoyi". So Liu Chan ordered "Jiang Wan to lead the Suwei camps to the north" and prepared to crusade against Wei Yan. But before Jiang Wan's soldiers arrived, Wei Yan was killed by Yang Yi, because he "refused Nangukou, sent troops to attack the instrument, etc., and the instrument made He Ping defend himself before." (Press: He Ping is Wang Ping, whose "family name is He, and later his surname is Wang". )
why didn't Wei Yan rush to Chengdu, but opposed Yang Yi with weak forces at Nangukou? Guess the reason, probably is the news that Liu Chan sent Jiang Wan to crusade against Wei Yan. It has been learned that he has no chance to enter Chengdu and discern the truth from the late Lord. In this case, of course, the situation was extremely unfavorable to Wei Yan. When Wang Ping got cold, he shouted, "You are dead, but your body is not cold yet. How dare you be worthy of it?" Wei Yan and his men immediately wavered in their morale. "All the people know that the song is delaying, so don't fight for your life, and all the troops are scattered." In fact, the so-called "Qu Zaiyan" is also an appearance. How can a soldier know the inside story of the upper struggle? They only know to obey the orders of Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang. Since both the emperor and the prime minister are on Yang Yi's side, it is normal for them to think that Wei Yan is rebellious and unwilling to follow him. In other words, what Wei Yan's men did has nothing to do with the merits of the whole incident. In the case of "the army was scattered", Wei Yan had no choice but to "flee with several of his sons and rush to Hanzhong, and the instrument sent Ma Dai to chase them down, which was the first thing to do." So Yang Yi stepped on Wei Yan's head with her foot and sneered, "Slave, can you do evil again?" After that, Yang Yi "extended the three clans". The reflection, volume 4, biography of Wei Yan. It is a tragedy that Wei Yan, a generation of famous soldiers, died like this. The infighting between Wei and Yang ended in Wei Yan's complete failure. Wei Yan's failure has subjective and objective reasons. Objectively speaking, Wei Yan was hit and rejected by Zhuge Liang for many years, and with the envy of Yang Yi and Fei Yi, he was in a difficult situation and weak. From the subjective analysis, Wei Yan himself lost his mind in this emergency and handled it inappropriately. He shouldn't trust Fei Yi, nor should he burn down the "pavilion road" where the main force returned on the way back, giving people the handle of "rebellion", and he shouldn't fight Yang Yi's 1, troops with thousands of people "according to Nangukou". It's totally throwing eggs at stones, and it's overreaching. In my opinion, Wei Yan's personality is really very similar to Han Xin's, that is, he is good at fighting and is a military wizard. But politically, it seems naive, lacking in wisdom and planning. Seven years after Wei Yan's death, Yang, a Shu native, played Ji Han Fu Chen Zan, and gave Wei Yan the following comments: "Wen Chang is just thick, and he is suffering from hardships, and he is struggling to defend his country. He is not harmonious, forgetting to talk about chaos, and cherishing the beginning at the end of his illness." Yang Xi affirmed Wei Yan's contribution to "defending the country and defending the country", sighed that he couldn't finish from the beginning to the end, and pointed out that the root cause was his "uncoordinated" and unruly personality, which was a fair evaluation. Finally, it needs to be pointed out that Wei Yan's so-called "rebellion" theory is completely fabricated by Luo Guanzhong. Chen Shou has come to a conclusion: "The original intention is not to surrender Wei to the north and return to the south, but if you want to kill the instrument, the generals are different on weekdays, and the theory of Ji Shi must be replaced by the light. This means that it is inconvenient to betray." The reflection, volume 4, biography of Wei Yan. Ironically, Yang Yi, Wei Yan's bitter rival, seems to have "a bone behind his head". Yang Yi's killing of Wei was delayed, and she thought that she had "made great contributions", and she was the only one who managed the country on behalf of Liang. Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid, had arranged before his death, "to be narrow-minded in appearance, which means Jiang Wan, and Wan Sui became a secretary-general and a secretariat of Yizhou." The late Lord only gave Yang Yi a virtual title, saying, "I am a Chinese military adviser, and I have nothing to lead, so I am just calm." So Yang Yi complained: "When the Prime Minister died in the past, I would rather be so evil in my life if I raised my army to follow the Wei family!" It is regrettable. " Such "outrageous" words were reported by Fei Yi, and the consequences were predictable. So Yang Yi was abolished as an ordinary citizen, and she wrote a letter of slander, so she was imprisoned and punished, and she committed suicide. Yang Yi's death is certainly self-inflicted, but it is also a pity after all, because he is also a rare talent. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he "planned the division according to the routine, and raised the grain valley. If you don't think about it, you must do it." Military Rong festival, take the instrument ","reflection "volume forty Yang Yi biography. . Shu Han's country is small, and its talents are much less than Wei and Wu's. Zhuge Liang's improper employment before his death and his inability to coordinate the relationship between his subordinates led to the infighting of Shu Han's regime after his death, which made it even worse for Shu Han, who was short of talent resources, and was bound to accelerate the decline trend of Shu Han. In this regard, Zhuge Liang has an unshirkable responsibility
