Wei Yan was deeply trusted by Liu Bei, but he was incompatible with Zhuge Liang. What is the reason?

Wei Yan is very interesting, and many enterprises can find Wei Yan-style characters.

So what kind of person is Wei Yan? His life can be roughly divided into three stages.

The days of following boss Liu: a swift horse meets Bole.

According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, when Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, he made many local heroes. Wei Yan, a native of Yiyang, has his own private armed forces to the east of Xinye. It is estimated that Wei Yan is one of many heroes.

In 2 1 1 year, Wei Yan followed Liu Bei to Yizhou in the west, settled Guanghan County, captured Chengdu, and gradually gained Liu Bei's trust. After the war in Hanzhong, Wei Yan ushered in a small peak in his career, and Liu Bei gave him the important task of Hanzhong.

This Hanzhong is the north gate of Yizhou, so it is safe to hold Chengdu. In addition, Hanzhong is strategically important, second only to Jingzhou. From Qinling Mountains to Chang 'an in the north, and from Hanshui River to Xiangfan in the east.

Guan Yu is guarding Jingzhou, and others think that Zhang Fei will take over Hanzhong. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei handed this important task to Wei Yan. Wei Yan also appreciated Liu Bei's kindness to meet him and made a brave speech: "Cao Cao is coming, I will stop him for the king, I will lead a hundred thousand troops to come, and I will kill him for the king."

Listen to the big tone, this is Wei Yan, Liu Bei not only has no jokes, but values him more. After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, Wei Yan was named the general of Zhenbei.

During the period of following Liu Bei, Wei Yan was like a duck to water and gained the appreciation and trust of Liu Boss. He was promoted from a small leader to an independent general, even surpassing generals such as Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, and was regarded as a spring breeze.

The days of following Zhuge's director: I resent my superiors for not giving me a chance.

Like Guan Yu, Wei Yan spent nine years in Hanzhong, guarding the north gate of Shu Han, and did not perform military service.

It was not until Zhuge Liang sent troops to the Northern Expedition that Wei Yancai ushered in the second spring of his career. As soon as Zhuge Liang arrived in Hanzhong, he was promoted to Prime Minister Sima and Liangzhou Secretariat.

Wei Yan's personality is somewhat similar to Guan Yu's, and few people can get into his eyes. Even Zhuge Liang secretly complained. However, he can control himself. He didn't want to be stimulated like Guan Yu and launch the war of Xiangfan.

Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan have different heights and different ways of handling things. Zhuge Liang took care of the overall situation and knew well the family background of Shu Han. He didn't have the strength to annex Yongzhou in one breath and hoped to expand northward step by step. Wei Yanze is different. He hasn't made meritorious military service for many years. He thinks Xia Houmao, who guards Chang 'an, is a waste. If Indiana Jones leaves the Meridian Valley, 10 will be the end of the day.

When Zhuge Liang disagreed with his suggestion, Wei Yan felt resentful and thought Zhuge Liang was timid. In fact, at that time, he was eager to become the coach of the Northern Expedition one day, and went on vigorously.

After that, Wei Yan also won several small victories in the next Northern Expedition, which of course could not be compared with the decisive battle he longed for.

Time flies. In 234, Zhuge Liang finally established a stronghold in Wuzhangyuan near Weishui, where he promoted military camps. The grain, grass and troops reached the highest level since the Northern Expedition. Who knows that Sima Yi, a little puss-head, persisted in the desperate situation and finally put Zhuge Liang out.

After Zhuge Liang's death: Joy begets sorrow.

Wei Yan was very excited after learning the news. Finally, it's time to do something big. He thought he was Zhuge Liang's successor. You see, Wei Yan has been in Hanzhong for 10 years. No one knows the weather and places there better than he does. Wei has made the greatest contribution. Zhuge Liang has to give three points when he sees him. Who dares to disobey him in the army?

However, contrary to expectations, Zhuge Liang had ordered his retreat before he died, so if Wei Yan didn't come, he wouldn't have to worry about it. Wei Yan refused to retreat, and Yang Yi seized the military power and fought with it. However, Zhuge Liang's prestige still exists. Wei Yan's soldiers all ran away, and Wei Yan's father and son were killed by Ma Dai in their escape.

Character annotation

Wei Yan has a certain talent and his own ideas. Liu Bei is the big boss. Seeing Wei Yan, a general who dares to fight and rush, I appreciated him very much and promoted him from a small leader to an independent general. It was Liu Bei's promotion that planted the seeds of discord for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

Zhuge Liang is a director of the company. Although he was promoted and reused by Wei Yan as soon as he arrived in Hanzhong, Wei Yan only regarded Liu Bei as his superior before. Now following Zhuge Liang, I feel a little ups and downs.

As a result, whenever Zhuge Liang's ideas are inconsistent with his, he secretly complains. Zhuge Liang appreciates his fighting ability as long as he stays out of trouble. However, Wei Yan saw Zhuge Liang's four consecutive northern expeditions, all of which failed. He strengthened his strategy, which is perfect. He only hates Zhuge Liang for not giving himself a chance. I'm afraid only Zhuge Liang died can he reach the peak of his life.

However, what Wei Yan didn't expect was that Zhuge Liang could tolerate him when he was alive, but he would never give him the last family property of Shu Han, because if he lost, the whole army would be wiped out and Shu Han would die.

Some people may say that Liu Bei can give Hanzhong to Wei Yan. Why doesn't Zhuge Liang trust him? Guan Yu, such a powerful man, died of his own arrogance. Wei Yan's talent is far less than Guan Yu's, and he dares to do things. At this time, Yizhou is the only place left in Shu Han. Zhuge Liang can't afford to lose, nor can Shu Han.

If Wei Yan can straighten his position in time like Sima Yi, he can not only be a fu, but also be idle and learn to hide his strength, and the result will be completely different.
