If Ma Dai failed to successfully attack Wei Yan, could Wei Yan successfully rebel in one fell swoop?

Ma Dai sneak attacked Wei Yan and killed Wei Yan in one fell swoop. This is a romance story. In official history, Wei Yan was defeated first and then was chased and killed by Ma Dai. Even if Wei Yan doesn't die, he won't be able to succeed as a villain.

1. The death of Wei Yan in the novel.

Ma Dai sneak attacks on Wei Yan and kills him in one fell swoop. This is a scene from the literary novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is said that Zhuge Liang knew that Wei Yan was going to rebel before he died, so he told Yang Yi and others that if Wei Yan rebelled, they could use Wei Yan's defiant character to kill him. Sure enough, after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan did not obey Zhuge Liang's arrangements and wanted to continue the Northern Expedition on his own, but Yang Yi and others prepared to withdraw to Chengdu with Zhuge Liang's body. At this time, Wei Yan quit and started fighting with Yang Yi's army.

Yang Yi had no choice but to take out Zhuge Liang's tips bag, then cursed Wei Yan to anger Wei Yan, and asked Ma Dai to ambush him. Wei Yan wasn't the one who suffered the loss, he was just complaining about others. Wei Yan also started to complain, and even joked that no one under Yang Yi could beat him. At this time, Ma Dai suddenly jumped out from the side and said: "What are you shouting? I dare to kill you." ?So Wei Yan died. After Wei Yan's death, Wei Yan's army surrendered. This is the version of the novel, but it is different from the official history.

2. The death of Wei Yan in official history.

Although Wei Yan was also killed by Ma Dai in official history, the situation was completely different. In the official history, Zhuge Liang held a small meeting before his death (with Wei Yan not present) and said that after my death, you will retreat with my body and let Wei Yan take the lead, followed by Jiang Wei. If Wei Yan does not listen, let him go. After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wan informed Wei Yan of Zhuge Liang's orders, but Wei Yan refused to listen and wanted to continue the Northern Expedition. So Yang Yi and others quietly retreated with Zhuge Liang's body.

At this time, Wei Yan found out and was furious. If you retreat, I will retreat too, and I will retreat faster than you. After Wei Yan retreated, he burned the roads and bridges. Yang Yi and Wei Yan had a grudge, so Yang Yi reported to Liu Chan that Wei Yan was going to rebel, and Wei Yan also reported that Yang Yi was rebelling. In the end, Liu Chan chose to trust Yang Yi, a civil servant, and sent Wang Ping with the imperial army to destroy Wei Yan. When Wang Ping came with his troops and horses, he said that the Prime Minister's body was still cold, so you dare to follow Wei Yan in rebellion? The soldiers surrendered one after another, and Wei Yan took his family and fled south. Yang Yi sent Ma Dai to hunt down Wei Yan, but Wei Yan died at the hands of Ma Dai. So even if Wei Yan doesn't die, he won't be able to rebel. There is still controversy as to whether Wei Yan was a rebel.
