Wei yanying was a rare general in the middle period of Shu and Han dynasties.

However, because of his stubborn personality, high self-esteem, and his inability to get along with others, and Zhuge Liang's dissatisfaction with him, he suppressed it and eventually there was no place for talents.

after Zhuge Liang's death, he fell out with Yang Yi, and was killed for treason, which is a great pity.

Wei Yan? —234) was born in Yiyang County (east of Tongbai County, Henan Province).

when Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, Wei Yan became Liu Bei's general.

In the sixteenth year of Jian 'an (211), Liu Beixi entered Yizhou, and Wei Yan entered Sichuan with a trilogy.

in the battle of taking Sichuan, Wei Yan cut off the pass and seized the village, made many meritorious military deeds and was promoted to general Yamen.

in the 24th year of Jian' an (219), Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, and he wanted to select a general to guard Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is located in the junction of Wei and Shu, and its geographical position is extremely important, so the position of Hanzhong satrap is very important.

At that time, the aides and aides talked privately, thinking that Zhang Fei was the only one who could shoulder this heavy responsibility, and Zhang Fei also "promised himself with his heart".

Unexpectedly, when Liu Bei announced his appointment, he was actually Wei Yan, a little general of the Tooth Gate.

for a while, the whole army was shocked by it and began to look at Wei Yan with new eyes.

When Liu Bei left Hanzhong, he asked Wei Yan at the meeting, "What are you going to do if I entrust you with the important task of Hanzhong?" Wei Yan replied, "If Cao Cao holds the world high, I will refuse it for the king;" If a hundred thousand people come, I will swallow it for the king. " The answer is crisp and neat, hit the floor.

Liu Bei was very satisfied, and all the civil and military officials present were excited.

Wei Yan didn't talk big.

he didn't live up to Liu Bei's great trust, and when defending Hanzhong, he created the method of "encircling and guarding against the enemy", that is, he built a series of earth fences at the dangerous places in Hanzhong as a camp to accumulate grain and station troops to strengthen the garrison.

if the enemy attacks, each side will gather all the information and then stand by to attack and help each other, so that the enemy will not last long.

Later facts proved that this tactic played a key role in defending Hanzhong.

Wei Yan's outstanding performance in Hanzhong won Liu Bei's full affirmation.

after Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, he further promoted Wei Yan as the general of Zhenbei.

It is said that there used to be a stone tablet in Liuba County, Shaanxi Province, engraved with the words "General of Zhenbei Wei Yan", which was probably erected after Wei Yan was promoted to General of Zhenbei.

unfortunately, in 1971, the local road was built, and the stone tablet was destroyed, which no longer exists.

in the fifth year of jianxing (227), Zhuge Liang led an army to the northern expedition of Cao Wei.

Wei Yan, as a valued general of Liu Bei, frankly put forward to Zhuge Liang the strategic proposition of attacking Chang 'an and capturing Guanzhong with light troops along the meridian valley.

However, Zhuge Liang thought the plan was in danger and refused to adopt it.

this made Wei Yan very disappointed.

in the following years, Zhuge Liang made several northern expeditions, but none of them succeeded.

during this period, Wei Yan was not valued by Zhuge Liang.

Although Wei Yan is outstanding in talent, he is honest and frank in character, even a little headstrong, and his colleagues generally stay away from him.

Because many people can't accept Wei Yan's character, they yield to him everywhere, which further encourages Wei Yan's temper.

However, an official in charge of logistics in Shu army never took Wei Yan seriously. This person is Yang Yi.

yang yi is narrow-minded and treacherous by nature.

Wei Yan always looked down on Yang Yi, but Yang Yi turned against Wei Yan, which made Wei Yan very angry and hated Yang Yi.

Sometimes when they argue in public, Wei Yan has a big temper and wants to draw a sword to kill Yang Yi.

and yang yi was crying and looked bullied.

over time, the two men have a deep grudge, like fire and water.

Zhuge Liang certainly knew this situation, but instead of stopping it, he indulged it wantonly, widening the contradiction between them.

Later, Zhuge Liang specially wrote an article called "On Gan Qi", which was intended to mediate the relationship between them and make them repent.

But the contradiction between Wei and Yang is so deep, how can it be ended by a single word? (According to "Huayang Guozhi", Volume 7) However, there was a Fei Yi in the army at that time, who was very good at muddling along, so that the conflict between them did not break out prematurely.

in the 12th year of lite (234), Zhuge Liang was critically ill.

When arranging the funeral, Zhuge Liang, Yang Yi, Fei Yi and Jiang Wei made a military plan: ordered Wei Yan to break off, followed by Jiang Wei, followed by Yang Yi and Fei Yi.

Zhuge Liang knew that Wei and Yang were incompatible, but he asked Governor Yang Yi to take charge of military affairs and command Wei Yan, and specifically told him that if Wei Yan did not obey orders, he could abandon Wei Yan and retreat on his own.

in fact, Zhuge Liang is clear about the consequences of this arrangement, and he is thoughtful and can be deeply pondered.

After Zhuge Liang's death, Yang Yi asked Fei Yi to figure out Wei Yan's intentions.

At this time, Wei Yan made a completely wrong judgment on the situation. He naively believed that Zhuge Liang was suppressed when he was alive, so that he could not be put to good use. Now that Zhuge Liang is gone, it is his turn to show his talents and defeat Wei and annihilate the enemy.

As soon as he saw Fei Yi, Wei Yan said eagerly, "Although the Prime Minister has passed away, Wei Yan is still here.

officials can be arranged to support the coffin to go back for burial. I will lead a great army to northern expedition against Wei thieves.

How can one person's death ruin world affairs? " Wei Yan was furious at Governor Yang Yi's military and political affairs, but he let himself break away. "Who am I, Wei Yan? Is it that Yang Yi's boy can command and break for him? " Fei Yi knew what Wei Yan really thought, but on the surface he still echoed it.

Wei Yan was outspoken, mistakenly thinking that Fei Yi was his confidant, and even immediately discussed with Fei Yi the arrangements for the deployment of the army members, and drafted an order, which was to be signed by Fei Yi and issued to the whole army.

in order to stabilize Wei Yan, Fei Yi pretended to say, "I will explain it to Yang Yi face to face when I go back.

As a civil servant, he doesn't know anything about military affairs, so he will definitely not object to your arrangement. " Fei Yi deceived Wei Delayed and went out on horseback.

Later, Wei Yan felt that he had made a reckless slip of the tongue, and it was too late to get Fei Yi back.

Fei Yi reported to Yang Yi, and Yang Yi ordered that it should still be carried out according to the established arrangement.

at this time, Wei Yan was already in an isolated and isolated state, and he didn't know the action of the whole army, and he didn't get any orders, so he didn't know what to do.

I had to send someone to Yang Yi's place to inspect and found that the whole army was ready to retreat.

Wei Yan was furious at being abandoned by the headquarters, and lost his mind. Before the army left, he withdrew from the front line and returned to Hanzhong by plank road.

along the way, the plank road was burned down, venting hatred for Yang Yi and Fei Yi.

there is no doubt that Wei Yan's actions give people a handle, which is exactly what Yang Yi wants.

Yang Yi went to the imperial court and sued Wei Yan for rebellion.

Wei Yan had a hard time arguing, and also accused Yang Yi of rebellion.

at one time, the two men crossed between Chengdu and Hanzhong.

Liu Chan, the late ruler, was so stupid that he couldn't tell right from wrong at all, so he had to ask Jiang Wan and Dong Yun for advice.

Because Yang Yi was ordered by Zhuge Liang, and both of them had always had opinions about Wei Yan, they both thought that Wei Yan was likely to rebel.

Liu Chan ordered Jiang Wan to lead the Suwei Army to the north to meet him, just in case something happened.

Wei Yan returned to Nangukou (in today's Baocheng County, Shaanxi Province), followed by Yang Yi and his army.

knowing that the crime of rebellion had been decided, Wei Yan was bound to die, so he stopped doing it and attacked Yang Yi's main force.

yang yi sent Wang ping to battle.

When the two armies confronted each other, Wang Ping pointed to Wei Yan and asked loudly, "Are you going to rebel before the bones of Prime Minister Zhuge are cold?" Wei Yan's men also thought that Wei Yan was indefensible, and knowing that he was alone, they all defected and dispersed in a hubbub.

Wei Yan was helpless and fled to Hanzhong with several sons. On the way, he was chased by Ma Dai and died.
