Core Tip: Shu's strength is inherently weak. From the beginning of its establishment to its final demise, it has never been as brilliant as Cao Cao, and the lack of talents has been plaguing the decision-making level. Otherwise, there is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua is the pioneer. What is the root of this tragedy? It is a big mistake to rely on the rule of man instead of the rule of law, or rely on machines to crowd out Wei Yan and reuse Ma Su.
Death of Famous Works Author: Zhang Ruiqiang Release: China Friendship Publishing Company's so-called anti-bone statement can only be a novelist's statement. Anatomy tells us that each person has only 206 bones, and no one can grow an anti-bone on the back of the head alone. Wei Yan's so-called rebellion is actually an overreaction caused by many reasons, and the rebellion is unfounded.
Let's look at the historical facts first. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms Shu Shu Wei Yanchuan, Zhuge Liang felt that he would die in the army, so he asked Yang Yi, Sima Fei and the chief historian Jiang Wei to arrange the funeral behind Wei Yan and decided to let Wei Yan break off and Jiang Wei follow him. If he doesn't do this, the army will spontaneously. The spirit of the document should be conveyed to demobilized cadres according to regulations, but Wei Yan, a general cadre, was excluded for no reason. It is quite inappropriate to arrange a funeral in violation of organizational principles, but it is such a wrong decision that can't stand scrutiny, and the wrong person is carrying out this wrong decision.
Yang Yi and Wei Yan, like Chao Cuo and Yuan Ang, are natural enemies. The two men hate each other, and whenever they sit together and argue, Wei Yanchuan directly describes them as incompatible. Such a political enemy suddenly came out to preside over the planning, and Wei Yan refused to accept the dispatch without knowing the truth, which can be described as an instinctive reaction. Hearing the spirit of the document conveyed by Fei T, he almost jumped up: Although the Prime Minister is dead, I will see him today. If you are a pro-government official, you can attend the funeral. I should lead all the troops to attack thieves. Why should I use one person to kill the evil in the world? And who is Wei Yan? Wait for Yang Yi and his men to be happy, and then make a decision!
The first half of this passage can be described as righteous words, which means that although the Prime Minister died of illness, I still have my own opinions. Relatives and accompanying officials can escort his body back to China for burial. I can lead my own department and continue to complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition. I can't give up the established national policy because of the death of the Prime Minister. At the critical moment when the building is about to collapse, it should be said that it is very rare for someone to make such a statement. It always reminds me of Zhuge Liang when he was appointed by the defeated army. Zhuge Liang can devote himself to the cause of Shu Han until he dies. He probably didn't want to give up the Great Northern Expedition because of his own death. Is Wei Yan at least commendable?
The latter part really can't stand scrutiny, and it is suspected of being impulsive, ignoring the overall situation, and failing to live up to organizational training, which is very disproportionate to his status. However, if everyone knows who Yang Yi is, they will probably understand. When Ma Dai sent Wei Yan's head back to Yang Yi to hand over the order, the latter got up and cursed with his feet: I am a slave, but I can do evil. It was not until I returned to the third family in Yi Yan that I got rid of my evil soul. When everything is stable, he thinks that he has made great contributions and should be a good politician in contemporary times. Who knows, he only became an honest military officer, with no leadership style and leisurely. That is to say, he is just a freelancer, so he is very angry. He even said to Fei: the prime minister is dead, and I would rather be so evil in my life! I really regret it. Which means I had the right to cancel at that time. If I take refuge in Wei with a gun, how can I only get such a small official? What a pity! If Wei Yan does not listen to the command and is suspected of reaching out for power and officials, then Yang Yi is a naked careerist and bent on being a successor. I'm afraid even a good-tempered person may not listen to such a person, let alone Wei Yan. As you can imagine, if Zhuge Liang hadn't concealed the truth and told him exactly what he thought, he wouldn't have gone to this extreme.
According to their native place, Fei T and Wei Yan are still fellow villagers, no matter then or now. Fei t belongs to the county seat. Like Yiyang, the county belongs to Jiangxia County of Jingzhou, followed by Yiyang County of Jingzhou, and even Yiyang State of the Western Jin Dynasty. Of course, Fei T would not discuss the relationship with Wei Yan at that time. Now is not the time. Because Wei Yan not only didn't listen, but further asked Fei T to stay. The two men jointly ordered the following generals to continue to deal with Wei Jun, and T certainly couldn't do it. He told Wei that I would go back to persuade Yang Yi. He is a civilian and knows nothing about military affairs. He will definitely agree with you.
As soon as Wei Yan let go, Fei T left the camp. It's really a fellow villager who sees his fellow villager with tears in his eyes. Wei didn't regret it, but he didn't have time to pursue it. He had to take a chance and sent someone to Yang Yi quietly to verify the situation, hoping that he would really agree with his opinion as Fei T said. On the contrary, however, he got the information that Yang Yi was already deploying to retreat, and he was not angry. So before Yang Yi set out, he led his men to retreat, burned the pavilion road and told Yang Yi about the rebellion. Yang Yi also exposed Wei Yan's rebellion. Within a day, the badges of the two men were sent backstage at the same time. The lawsuit was bizarre and sudden. The latter asked Dong Yun, the servant, and Jiang Wan, the prefect. Both of them doubt Wei Yan and believe Yang Yi.
Wei Yan burned the plank road only to stop the main force from withdrawing troops. I thought he wanted to lead troops to fight thieves. However, the most troublesome process of repairing the plank road is to drill holes in the stone wall. Now, the results of that process still exist. Yang Yi only needs to cut down trees and lay boards, and she will soon quit the Qinling Mountains. I didn't turn the arrow before opening the bow. Once you get on the thief's boat, it's not easy to get off. Wei put a horizontal, sent troops to occupy the south taniguchi, ready to attack Yang yi. Yang Yi sent Wang Ping, the assistant commander of Ma Su during the war of Jieting, to resist. Because Wang Ping adopted any family when he was a child, Wei Yanzhuan called him Ping. Wei Yan's department knew that Wei Yan was wrong and immediately dispersed. Wei Yan, helpless, fled to Hanzhong with his son and cronies, and was finally beheaded by Ma Dai.
Wei Yan's so-called rebellion is actually the same as that of Liangshan heroes who only oppose corrupt officials and not the court. The target is only Yang Yi, the political opponent. It was only the latter who held Zhuge Liang's sword and was the embodiment of justice at that moment that his behavior was officially characterized as rebellion. I'm not speaking ill of my sages. I have a factual basis. According to the biography of Wei Yan, the north refused to surrender to Wei, and the south returned to kill Yang Yi and others. On weekdays, generals are different, and when it comes to time, they must be replaced by light ones. This means so. It is not convenient to betray. In other words, everyone talked together and thought that Wei Yanxi would inherit Zhuge Liang's mantle in the future. Of course, Wei Yan was so confident that he had no idea of rebellion at all.
In Pei Songzhi's Notes on the Three Kingdoms, there is even a further statement: Wei slightly said: Zhuge Liang's illness is called waiting for the clouds, and after I die, I should be careful not to ask for it again. Let procrastination mind his own business and hold a funeral in secret. A trip to Zankou is a funeral. Yang Yisu, a long history of Liang Dynasty, was at odds with Yan State. Seeing the military action of Yan State, he was afraid of being hurt. Zhang Yanyan wanted to be attached to the north, so he led his troops to attack Yan. Yan Ben had no intention of fighting the army, but pursued it.
According to Shi Tong, the official history of ancient and modern times, when Wei Shijing privately wrote Wei Lue, it ended in the Ming Dynasty. In other words, this book is a private history made up by fish, not an official history. Fish has been in Jin for sixteen years, but he has never had an official position. He is loyal to Wei and ashamed to be a minister of Jin. He has no conflict of interest with Shu, and his record is generally objective. Therefore, Wei Lue is the most quoted in Pei Songzhi's Notes on the Three Kingdoms. Although Pei Songzhi thinks that the above statement about Wei Yan is hearsay from the enemy and cannot be disputed with this biography, it can at least prove that even at that time, some people did not believe that Wei Yan was ambitious, but some people suspected that Yang Yi was out of control.
If Wei Yan is really unfaithful, then the best time to rebel is not when Zhuge Liang died and the surrounding troops gathered, but the first year of lite, that is, AD 223.
That year, the general Coss of Wei died; Wu seems to be dead, beautiful little Joe; Sun Quan started construction of the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang City, while Shu State rushed to repair two scenic spots today in Wuhou Temple: Han and Zhaolie Temple in Chengdu. Because Liu Bei, who just proclaimed himself emperor, has come to the end of his life.
After Guo Ting's fiasco, Liu Bei fled back to Baidicheng. He is in shock and can't afford to get sick. Before he died, he entrusted state affairs to Zhuge Liang and Li Yan. The new loss of the country's Lord has made people unstable. That summer, Yong] made an insurrection in the south. Yongshi is the most popular surname in Yizhou, because its ancestor Yongchi was once called Shifang Hou. The reason why Yongchi was sealed was mainly because Liu Bang needed to build a model, and he could tolerate typical enemies, thus reassuring people.
After the world was settled, one day Liu Bang saw many courtiers get together to talk about it and asked Sean what they were talking about. Sean said: They haven't been enfeoffed for a long time and are discussing rebellion. Liu bang was surprised and asked what to do; Sean said: Who do you hate most? Liu Bang said: Yong Chi once betrayed me and surrendered to Qin Jun. Of course, I hate him the most. Sean said: If you can be a monk, then everyone will have a good idea and won't rebel. So Liu Bang named Yongchu as Shifang Hou, with 2,500 food cities, ranking 57th in credit.
Yong] lived in Jianning. He made waves in the south, killed Zheng Ang, the satrap, sent someone to contact Wu, and was named the satrap of Jianchang. In order to calm things down, another minister and protector, Li Yan, wrote to Yong and told him his interests. Li Yan painstakingly wrote six pages, but there were only a few simple words in his reply: I heard that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in Confucianism. Today, the new moon is three, because people in the distance are confused and don't know where to go. The attitude is extremely arrogant. If you want to say far, it must be farther from Wu. It is only a stopgap measure to contact Wu, and the ultimate goal is to stand on one's own feet where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Nevertheless, because of the unstable internal affairs, Zhuge Liang did not send troops immediately and endured for two years. It was only in May of 225 AD that the Luzhou River was crossed, where nothing grew, and Yong and Meng Huo settled down. It was almost the culmination of Zhuge Liang's brilliant life, but in that year, Zhong You, a famous calligrapher and Wei Taifu, gave birth to a son named Zhong Hui. This man will witness the destruction of Zhuge Liang's life career.
At that time, Wei Yan, as the satrap of Hanzhong, met Wei Jun and was armed to the teeth. If such a good opportunity is not reversed, the overreaction behind it can only be said to be forced by the situation, and there is no intention to reverse it.
If this is just Meng Haoran's feeling and complaint that he didn't know his talents and abandoned his master, then this is the life tragedy of Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang. Because of the real Wei Yan, his talent is quite outstanding.
Let's take a look at Wei Yan's origins first. According to Wei Yanchuan's records, he entered Shu with his predecessor in a trilogy, made meritorious military service repeatedly, and moved to Yamen as a general. In the Han dynasty, the Ministry was originally the name of the army. Generally speaking, a general or captain has jurisdiction over five ministries and ten songs. The original meaning of a department is subordinate. Then the meaning gradually changed. On the Tang law, it is said that the trilogy is private ownership. Therefore, Liang Qichao thought in the Draft of China Cultural History Slave that the trilogy came from refuge at first, and most of them were engaged in war. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that they became untouchables and slaves. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the trilogy generally referred to domestic soldiers and private soldiers. In other words, Wei Yan is not a general in Changsha. From humble origins, he followed Liu Bei into Sichuan trilogy. Because of his repeated meritorious military service, he was named a yamen general and a middle-ranking officer.
However, when Liu Bei became king in Hanzhong, Wei Yan was unexpectedly promoted: he was the general of Zhenyuan in Hanzhong and the satrap of Hanzhong. When Liu Bei's words came out, the whole army was surprised. Because Hanzhong's strategic position is too important.
How important is Hanzhong to Shu? We might as well make an analogy. Hu Ronghua, the first generation chess grandmaster in China, was interviewed on TV and talked about various ways to give up chess. One of them is to remove all his five pieces. When the host heard this, he didn't agree, thinking that just a chess piece was useless-this is normal. There are no incompetent soldiers, only incompetent generals. The host can't play chess, so he has this impression. Hu Ronghua certainly disagrees with this view. He said solemnly, that's not true. Pawn is still very useful. No pawns, just like people who don't wear clothes in winter, will be very cold!
This is how Hanzhong protects Shu from the cold.
As the forward base of Shu and the buffer zone of Wei and Shu armies, the occupation of Hanzhong can fight for Guanlong in the north and retreat to the south to cover Bashu. This is clearly seen by everyone with a discerning eye. Yang Hong told Zhuge Liang: Hanzhong has a good throat and a chance of life. Without Hanzhong, there would be no Shu State. Huang Quan, the general of Shu, also said: If Hanzhong is lost, the three buses are weak, which is the arm of cutting Shu. Gu Zuyu, a Qing Dynasty man, expressed it in more detail when reading Historical Records: Hanzhong House is near Guanzhong in the north, Bashu in the south, Xiangdong in the east and Qinlong in the west, and the situation is the most serious.
Such an important town should be guarded by its own name. Everyone thought that Zhang Fei would be sent, and Zhang Fei thought it was himself, but no one expected that Liu Bei chose Wei Yan, a humble little role.
Liu Bei certainly knows what people think. In order to establish Wei Yan's prestige, he was specially arranged to announce the policy agenda in front of everyone, which is no less than a modern office defense. Liu Bei asked: What is your wish for today's important task? Wei Yan replied: Cao Cao came from all over the country, please refuse for the king; I will lead a hundred thousand people, please swallow it for the king. Grandfather said it well, and people speak louder than words. Liu Bei was very satisfied with this statement, and later Wei Yan was named the general of Zhenbei.
At the beginning of Liu Chan's reign, in order to win people's hearts, a large number of princes were enfeoffed. At this time, Wei Yan was appointed as the capital of Hou Ting. The three kingdoms are troubled times, and everything is chaotic, including the marquis; Divided into three levels: county, township and pavilion. Cao Cao named Guan Yu Hanshou Pavilion and the food city Hanshou Pavilion. When Wei Yan was first blocked, it was also at this level, and there was only one village in the food city. But it doesn't matter, he made rapid progress later.
In the fifth year of Jianxing, in 227 AD, Zhuge Liang decided to explore the North and become a model. Then he stationed in Hanzhong, reorganized his troops, dispatched grain and grass, and was ready to go out at any time. At this time, Wei Yan's task is in front of the commander-in-chief, and his official positions are Sima and Liangzhou. From AD 227 to AD 234, Zhuge Liang organized six northern expeditions, which were called Six Xiaqi Mountains in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In fact, there were only two expeditions to Qishan, and the other four expeditions were all made elsewhere. Wei Yan participated in all six northern expeditions, which was hard; On another occasion, he completely played the leading role. This is the fourth Northern Expedition in 230 A.D. in the eighth year of Jianxing.
