In the Battle of Chibi, facing the siege of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, although Cao Cao was finally defeated, the three families divided Jingzhou. However, relatively speaking, Cao Cao's strength did not weaken because of this, and the major counties of Xiangyang and Fancheng in Jingzhou were still in Cao Cao's hands. As a result, Cao Cao was still able to go south to threaten Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
In order to justifiably occupy Jingzhou, Cao Cao had Emperor Liu Xie of Han make Fu Qun the Assassin of Jingzhou, while Cao Ren was defended as a general of Zhengnan. Under such circumstances, Yang Yi became the master of Fu Qun in 216 AD.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 40, Shu Shu Ten, Liu Pengliao, Li Liu Wei, Yang Biography, is contained, "Yang Yi zi Wei Gong, Xiangyang people also." Jian'an Zhong, for jingzhou assassin Shi Fu Qun master book, back to the group and Xiangyang Taishou Guan Yu. ”
However, Yang Yi only worked under Fu Qun for one year, and then in 217 AD, he bid farewell to Fu Qun and defected to Guan Yu. Guan Yu was also very important to Yang Yi, who had come to defect to him, and directly appointed him as Gong Cao, and asked him to go to Yizhou as a messenger to see Liu Bei.
After meeting Liu Bei in Yizhou, Yang Yi was pulled by Liu Bei to discuss military plans and political gains and losses. Because Yang Yi had eloquence and was able to adapt to changes, he was deeply loved by Liu Bei, and was finally recruited by Liu Bei as the left general Cao Tuan. After Liu Bei ascended the throne as King of Hanzhong, Yang Yi was promoted to Shangshu again.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 40, Shu Shu 10, Liu Pengliao, Li Liu Wei, Yang Biography, contains, "The Ancestors and the Language Discuss military and state strategies, political gains and losses, and Great Joy, because of the left general Cao Tuan ... ... Liu Bei was made the King of Hanzhong and promoted Yang Yi to Shangshu. ”
After Liu Bei's death, during Zhuge Liang's auxiliary administration, Yang Yi was appointed by Zhuge Liang to join the army and act as a general in the Xiangfu, and then promoted to changshi and general of the Jia Sui army. It can be said that whether it is Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, they are very important to Yang Yi, and Yang Yi also lives up to expectations, formulating plans, preparing grain and grass, etiquette systems, etc., he can complete them very sharply, without too much consideration.
In 234 AD, after Zhuge Liang's Fifth Northern Expedition, he unfortunately died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. Subsequently, after Yang Yi ordered Wei yan to break off, he led a large army to retreat slowly. However, Wei Yan refused to accept Yang Yi's manipulation, and said that although Xiang Xiang died, he could not waste the world's major events because of the death of one person.
Therefore, Wei Yan rushed ahead of Yang Yi's army, burned down the boardwalk, and confronted Yang Yi at Nangukou. In the end, Wei Yan was killed by Ma Dai, and Yang Yi trampled on Wei Yan's first rank and scolded him as a philistine.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms has a saying, "Yan Du and several of his sons fled and ran to Hanzhong." Yi sent Ma Dai to chase after him, and to the head of Yi, Yi qi stepped on it, saying: "Yong slave! Can you do evil again? "Suiyi Yan Three Tribes."
However, after Yang Yi eliminated Wei Yan and successfully led a large army back to Yizhou, he was not able to take over Zhuge Liang's great responsibility, but was instead appointed as a Chinese army division, without even a subordinate. In the end, Yang Yi was deposed as a commoner and committed suicide in Hanjia County, the place of exile.
The tragic end of Yang Yi's suicide is only because he blamed himself, and there are two reasons.
First, Yang Yi's personality is impatient and narrow-minded. The ancients said, "Literati are lighter than each other, and warriors are heavy; Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is second", not only do literati look down on each other, but even between different lines of literature and martial arts, there is also a difference between mustard.
Although Yang Yi has great talent, she has an arrogant and impatient and narrow personality. Such a person would be fine if that was the only thing in the Shu Han Dynasty. However, the key thing is that although shu Han's capable subjects are not as talented as Cao Wei, they are not in the minority. And as soon as there are many people, there will naturally be differences.
Shang Shu made Liu Ba a clean and simple person, erudite and talented, but his personality was very clear. Zhang Fei once went to Liu Ba's place to stay, and Liu Ba ignored him, saying loudly, "The big husband is in the world, when he is a hero of the four seas, how can he talk to a warrior." ”
"The Biography of the Lingling Ancestors" is loaded, Zhang Fei tasted Ba Su, Ba bu and yu, Fei Sui was angry. Zhuge Liang said to Ba Yue: "Although Zhang Fei is a martial artist, he admires his feet. The lord and the present party gathered the wen and martial arts to determine the major events; although the sky was bright and bright, it was advisable to lower the intention less. Ba Yue: "When the eldest husband is in the world, when he is a hero of the four seas, how can he talk with the soldiers?" ”
Liu Ba's such a high height made Yang Yi very unaccustomed to it, and there were many disputes. In 221 AD, when Liu Beidong invaded Eastern Wu, there was another discord between the two. Because of this, Liu Bei removed Yang Yi from the post of Shangshu and replaced him with the remote leader Hongnong Taishou, who had no real name and no real power.
It was not until Liu Bei died and Zhuge Liang assisted the government that he cherished Yang Yi's talents and reused him. However, Yang Yi's personality has not changed because of this. Wei Yan followed Liu Bei in parts and gained Liu Bei's attention, but his personality was arrogant and his temperament was extremely evil, and his colleagues avoided his sharp edge.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Yan was both good at raising soldiers, brave and fierce, and high in temperament, and was avoided at that time. Only Yang Yi did not pretend to extend, and extended to think that it was like water and fire.
However, in this way, Yang Yi despised Wei Yan and became involved with him, and even many times Wei Yan had a knife to kill Yang Yi. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was circling around in it, and Fei Yi often mediated for the two of them, so that nothing could happen.
However, after Zhuge Liang's death, no one in the army was able to suppress Wei Yan, and Fei Yi, Jiang Huan, and others could not control Yang Yi, so the discord between the two eventually progressed to the point of facing each other. When Ma Dai beheaded Wei Yan and offered the first rank to Yang Yi, Yang Yi triumphantly stepped on the first rank and disdainfully scolded Wei Yan as a philistine.
It is precisely because Yang Yi's personality is so impatient and narrow-minded that Zhuge Liang finally did not choose him as his successor, but chose Jiang Huan. After all, only a person as steady, talented, and impartial as Jiang Huan could be dispatched in the middle to maintain the stability and development of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Second, Yang Yi's political consciousness is poor and not enough to be patient. Because of Yang Yi's impatient and narrow personality, he had a poor relationship with his colleagues in Shu Han. Moreover, Yang Yi's political consciousness was not high enough. At that time, after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Huan took on a heavy responsibility, while Yang Yi was a Chinese army division, had no subordinates, and just acted cheaply.
Although Yang Yi initially served as Shangshu under Liu Bei, and Jiang Huan was Shang Shulang, the two later served as the commander of the army together. In addition, every time Yang Yi traveled with the army, he took on heavy tasks in the army, and this seniority and hard work were indeed greater than Jiang Huan.
However, in the case that Jiang Huan later became Shangshu, Yang Yi needed to be patient, to obey Liu Chan's decision, and to follow Jiang Huan's steps so that he could get further promotion. In this regard, Jiang Wei did a good job, from Jiang Huan to Fei Yi, he kept a low profile until Fei Yi was assassinated, he jumped up.
Compared with Jiang Wei, Yang Yi's behavior is more in line with his impatient personality. He felt that his seniority was older than Jiang Huan's, and his talent was higher than Jiang Huan's, and he felt dissatisfied and resentful that he had not been able to succeed him, which led many people to dare not associate with him.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 40, Shu Shu 10, Liu Pengliao, Li Liu Wei Yang Biography Tenth": In the beginning, Yi was the first lord Shangshu, and Huan was Shangshulang, and although he was the commander of the army, Yi obeyed the line, and when he was a labor drama, only the young eunuch Xianhuan could surpass it, so the resentment took the form of a voice, and the sound of sighing was issued within the five. When people are afraid of their words, they dare not follow it.
Once, when Fei Yi came to visit Yang Yi, Yang Yi not only revealed his resentment and anger in front of him, but also said that he should not have stopped Wei Yan in the first place, otherwise he would not have fallen to this point. Yang Yi's words not only made Fei Yi feel that Yang Yi was not inferior and worthy of friendship, but also indirectly offended Jiang Huan and Liu Chan.
Because of this, Fei Yi reported Yang Yi's words to the public, and Yang Yi was deposed as a commoner and exiled to Hanjia County. After being exiled, Yang Yi did not repent, and also wrote a letter to slander, and the tone was very fierce. Eventually, Liu Chan sent people to arrest Yang Yi, and Yang Yi was forced to commit suicide.
Therefore, Yang Yi's personality is impatient and outspoken, so that colleagues dare not get too close to him and avoid harming the pond fish. Therefore, at the time of the Yang Yi East Window incident, no one stood up to speak for him.
In addition, after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wan's new official took office, which must be the first step to play his own prestige, and Yang Yi's old qualifications, hard work, poor popularity, and disrespect for Jiang Huan and even Liu Chan, etc., such a thorn head can just be a member of Jiang Wan's killing stick. All of this eventually made Yang Yi end up with a tragic ending.
