Wei Yan was a prime-age faction in Liu Bei's clique, and when Liu Bei was in the west to conquer Sichuan and Shu, Wei Yan contributed a lot and was appreciated and vigorously promoted by Liu Bei. At that time, in Liu Bei's army, Wei Yan's martial arts were second only to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong.
Zhang Ren was the most capable warrior under Liu Zhang. Not only is he loyal and loyal, but he is also a good hand at leading soldiers to fight, but he is also a good hand in battle.
Then, if Wei Yan and Zhang Ren met in the battle front and fought normally, who would win the final victory? We can analyze it through the combat performance of the two men.
Zhang Ren and Wei Yan once had a direct confrontation that seemed to be light and dark. Everyone remembers that in the 61st episode of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei led his troops into Sichuan, Liu Zhang came to greet him, and the two sides held a feast at Fushuiguan, during the banquet, Wei Yan suddenly walked to the middle of the field, pulled out his sword to indicate that "there is no pleasure in the feast, willing to dance the sword as a play", Wei Yan immediately raised his sword and danced, gradually forcing Liu Zhang.
Zhang Ren, who came with Liu Zhang, realized that the situation was not right, Wei Yan was going to assassinate, Zhang Ren immediately pushed the case and drew his sword, "The dancing sword must be right, and a certain willing to dance with General Wei!" He covered his body in front of Liu Zhang's body and blocked Wei Yan. Wei Yan could not succeed, "looking at Liu Feng, Feng also drew his sword to help dance."
The plot of the sword-drawing dance before the feast shows that under Zhang Ren's strict defense, Wei Yan could not break through, so he would "look at Liu Feng" and ask for his help.
Wei Yan's strength value was basically conclusive: lower than the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, and also lower than the Cao Wei general Pang De (who was "killed by Pound", in the Battle of XieguJie), and was close to Zhang Guo, but slightly inferior by half a point (otherwise Zhuge Liang would not have been jealous of Zhang Guo repeatedly).
So, how to determine Zhang Ren's force value?
Zhang Ren once had two confrontations with the super fierce general Zhang Fei, both in the 64th episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: the first time was when Liu Bei's troops besieged Luocheng, Zhang Ren launched a counter-assault to take Liu Bei's army directly, Liu Bei could not resist Zhang Ren, and fled into the wilderness, Zhang Ren encountered Zhang Fei in pursuit, the two clashed, "fighting to more than ten", Yan Yan led the main force to arrive, Zhang Ren returned to Luocheng; the second time was when the two sides fought outside Luocheng, Zhang Ren challenged, Zhang Fei raised his spear, "the battle was not more than ten", Zhang Ren was defeated and walked around the city, luring Zhang Fei into an ambush circle.
Through these two battles, it can be determined that with Zhang Ren's martial arts, it is not a problem to resist Zhang Fei for about twenty times. In front of Zhang Feima, there were two other people who "fought more than ten battles and lost", one was Ma Dai (battle of Ye MengGuan) and the other was Zhang Gao (battle of Wakou Pass). Then Zhang Ren's upper limit of martial arts will not exceed Zhang Gao's, and the lower limit is at least ma Dai's level.
And Wei Yan's strength value was basically at this level, better than Ma Dai and slightly inferior to Zhang Gao. And Wei Yan is a very unique person: he is very good at learning, summarizing and improving himself. For example, during the battle of Luocheng, Wei Yan and Ling Bao encountered each other, and the two sides fought for thirty rounds without winning or losing, but the second time they met again, "the battle was not counted" and captured Ling Bao; for example, during the Battle of Ye MengGuan, Wei Yan and Ma Dai clashed, and after Ma Dai's defeat, the dark arrow shot Wei Yan's left arm, Wei Yan suffered a big loss, but since then Wei Yan has lost a lot of fraud, becoming the most deceitful warrior in the Three Kingdoms Era, and can receive miraculous results every time.
Therefore, if Wei Yan and Zhang Ren clashed in front of the battle, the force value of the normal single-handed fight between the two sides was extremely close, and the fifty or sixty guilds would not be victorious or defeated. But if the two fight again, the cunning Wei Yan will find Zhang Ren's weakness and gain the upper hand.
