In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang, the chancellor of the Shu Han Dynasty, suffered the fifth Northern Expedition and unfortunately died of illness. At this time, the Shu army can be said to be in the midst of the wind and rain, and the illness and death of Zhuge Liang, the giant pillar of optimus, made the Shu army lose its backing, lose its faith, and feel that the sky is about to collapse. To make matters worse, after the death of Zhuge Liang, the main backbone, infighting broke out within the Shu army, and the contradictions between Changshi Yangyi and the pioneer Wei Yan broke out in an all-round way, and the swords and soldiers met each other.
At this time, the Shu army was still on the front line of Wuzhangyuan, and there was a large army of Sima Yi of Cao Wei in front, but there were contradictions within themselves, and the dragons were leaderless, and if they were not careful, they might be completely destroyed. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang secretly left one person before his death, stabilized the Shu army, and successively eliminated two major dangerous elements, so that the Shu Han turned the crisis into safety and extended its life expectancy for 29 years.
The first dangerous element: Wei Yan
In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234), before Zhuge Liang died, he arranged the aftermath, so that after Ling Wei Yan was cut off, Jiang Wei was second, and added that if Wei Yan did not obey the order, you could return to Chengdu on your own, leaving Wei Yan alone. Zhuge Liang died shortly after arranging the aftermath. Changshi Yangyi became the temporary commander and sent Fei Yi to Wei Yanjun to convey the order to break him off.
After Hearing this, Wei Yan was very dissatisfied: "Although Xiang Xiang died of illness, Wei Yan and I are still there." The coffin of the Chancellor only needs to be escorted back to Chengdu by the subordinate officials such as Changshi of the XiangFu to be buried, and the army will continue the Northern Expedition with me, how can it give up the important matter of restoring the Han Dynasty because of the death of the Xiang Xiang? Moreover, who is Wei Yan, how can I obey the orders of the "little man" Yang Yi and cut off his queen. ”
Wei Yan said that he wanted Fei Yi to stay, jointly oppose Yang Yi, and order the generals. After Fei Yi listened, he felt bad and wanted to slip away, so he blackmailed: "Well, I will go back and persuade Yang Changshi, he is just a civilian official, he does not understand military affairs, and he certainly does not dare to disobey." After Fei Yi finished speaking, he slipped away. Wei Yan reacted and knew that he had been deceived by Fei Yi, but he could not catch up.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Yi Qi Yan Yue: "When the king also interprets Yang Changshi, the long history of wen officials, and the military is rare, he will not disobey the order." "Yi went out and galloped away, looking for regrets, and it was too late to pursue it."
After Fei Yi returned to Yang Yi's camp, he told Yang Yi the truth about what Wei Yan had said to him. After listening to Fei Yi's words, Yang Yi knew that Wei Yan was dissatisfied with him, so he withdrew from the army in advance, and at the same time presented himself to Liu Chan, the rear lord of Chengdu, to "slander" Wei Yan for plotting rebellion. Fei Yi's words gave Yang Yi the upper hand, first sending Wang Ping to divide and disintegrate Wei Yan's army, and then sending Ma Dai to kill Wei Yan's father and son. Yang Yi was able to successfully get rid of Wei Yan, and Fei Yiju made a great contribution.
The second dangerous element: Yang Yi
After getting rid of Wei Yan, Yang Yi, Fei Yi, Jiang Wei, and others escorted Zhuge Liang's coffin back to Chengdu safely. Later, the lord Liu Chan was enfeoffed as a meritorious minister, such as Jiang Huan as Shang Shu Ling, and soon added the title of Capital Protector, False Festival, and Led the History of Yi Prefecture, and later promoted to the rank of Grand General, Lu Shang Shu Shi, and Marquis of Anyang Ting. At this time, jiang Huan, as Zhuge Liang's heir, held the power of Shu Han, and named Fei Yi as the rear army division and Yang Yi as the Chinese army division.
However, Yang Yi was greatly disappointed, believing that he and Jiang Huan were both ministers and commanders in the army, and that he was still older than Jiang Huan, plus he had merit in escorting Zhuge Liang's coffin, and thought that he could inherit Zhuge Liang's power, but now he was subordinate to Jiang Huan, and his heart was very unhappy. As a result, he often complained to others about his experience, and his dissatisfaction with Jiang Huan was revealed between his words.
At that time, no one else dared to say anything more, only Fei Yi went to persuade and comfort Yang Yi. After Yang Yi saw Fei Yi, he finally found someone who could complain, so he repeated his bitterness and dissatisfaction to Fei Yi, including many "great rebellions", such as "When the past person died, if I raised an army to serve the Wei clan, I would be so evil in the world!" It is irretrievable to regret. ”
After Fei Yi listened, he thought that Yang Yi had a rebellious heart and felt that the situation was serious, so he wrote a letter and reported it to the rear lord Liu Chan. Yang Yi was also deposed as a commoner and exiled to Hanjia County. However, after Yang Yi arrived in Hanjia County, he did not think about repentance and continued to write slander, and his words became more intense. Liu Chan was helpless, so he ordered the county guard to take Yang Yi into custody. After Yang Yi listened, she committed suicide in fear of sin.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Thirteen years, abolishing yi for the people, migrating to Hanjia County. Yi went to the migration office, repeated the letter of slander, the words were fierce, and then the county received the ceremony. Yi committed suicide, and his wife returned Shu.
epilogue
Fei Yi was zhuge liang's secretly left behind before his death, and he successively assisted in eliminating Wei Yan and Yang Yi, two dangerous elements. It was Fei Yi who assisted Yang Yi in getting rid of Wei Yan, and then secretly reported Yang Yi's "bad words" to the rear lord Liu Chan, and got rid of Yang Yi.
It was precisely because Fei Yi "eliminated" Wei Yan and Yang Yi, two dangerous elements, that the Shu Han dynasty settled down internally and operated step by step. It was not until 263 AD, when Deng Ai smuggled across Yinping and approached the city of Chengdu, that Liu Chan opened the city gate and surrendered, and the Shu Han dynasty perished. This year, exactly 29 years have passed since Zhuge Liang's death.
