Wei Yan and Chen Shi led their troops into the valley and failed. Why did Zhuge Liang only kill Chen Shi?

During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he ordered four generals, Wei Yan, Zhang Ben, Chen Shi and Du Qiong, to take 20,000 soldiers and horses and a basket of valleys. However, Wei Yan and Chen Shi disobeyed Zhuge Liang's orders and forced their invasion, which led to failure. They not only disobeyed Zhuge Liang's orders, but also made rude remarks, publicly teasing Zhuge Liang that he could not fight.

It is worth noting that after the defeat of Chen Shi and Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang investigated the responsibility for the defeat, only punished Chen Shi and killed Chen Shi, but did not investigate Wei Yan's responsibility. Is this unfair law enforcement? Why did Zhuge Liang do this?

At that time, when Wei Yan, Zhang Ben, Chen Shi and Du Qiong set off, Zhuge Liang was not at ease and specially sent Deng Zhi to remind him. However, Wei Yan and Chen Shi didn't listen and publicly laughed at Zhuge Liang. Chen Shi said that if Zhuge Liang was careful, he would lose the street pavilion. Wei Yan directly mocked Zhuge Liang and said that if he had listened to me and sent troops to Meridian Valley, let alone Chang 'an, Luoyang would have been captured. Chen Shi said bluntly: We will send troops to Ji Gu and take refuge in Qishan. So, will the Prime Minister be ashamed?

Chen Shi and Wei Yan, two men, echo each other, just like wearing a pair of pants. It is audacious to openly joke about Zhuge Liang in front of the soldiers of the three armed forces. However, when they fell into the trap of Wei Jun, they were dumbfounded.

Chen Shi took 5000 people and was ambushed by Wei Jun. In the end, it was defeated, leaving only four or five hundred people. Chen Shi has this responsibility, and so does Wei Yan. Therefore, the two men violated Zhuge Liang's military orders and should be guilty of the same crime according to regulations. However, Zhuge Liang spared Wei Yan and only killed Chen Shi.

Read Romance of the Three Kingdoms for the hundredth time: It is said that Kongming drove his horse back to Qishan. When Lao Jun finished his work, Wei Yan, Chen Shi, Du Qiong and Zhang Ben entered an account and bowed their heads and confessed. Kong Ming said:? Who lost the army? ? Yan Yue:? Chen Shi disobeyed orders and sneaked into Taniguchi, which was a great failure. ? Type:? Wei Yan taught me to do this. ? Kong Ming said:? He saved you, but you climbed up on him! There will be violations, don't be smart! ? It was the samurai who introduced the Chen style to cut it. In an instant, I hung my head in front of my account and showed it to my generals. At this time, Kong Ming did not kill Wei Yan, but wanted to keep it for later use.

Zhuge Liang has always had strict laws and clear rewards and punishments. Why did he do it?

In fact, Zhuge Liang also had no choice. His generals disobeyed orders and openly made fun of the commander-in-chief of the three armies. In fact, he also wanted to punish Wei Yan and kill him so that no one could stand it. However, Wei Yan is the brother of the Shu-Han regime and the pillar of the giant. The establishment of Shu Han depended on Wei Yan's pillar. If Wei Yan is killed, it is difficult to find a general like Wei. How could Zhuge Liang be willing to kill Wei Yan

However, Chen Shi's military ability is average, so killing him has no loss to Shu Han. Therefore, Zhuge Liang had to find Chen Shi as a scapegoat.
