In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei was the strongest and Shu Han was the weakest, although this is a fact, it does not prove that the cattle people of Shu Han are inferior to Cao Wei. For example, who dares to say that Cao Cao must be stronger than Liu Bei? Cao Cao started from the time of Emperor Hanling, and while Emperor Hanling was still alive, he became one of the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan along with Yuan Shao and others, and was a close confidant of the emperor's eldest brother.
What was Liu Bei doing at that time? Still being the "black boss" in Zhuo County, the platform for the two to start is different. Liu Bei was able to counterattack all the way from the grassroots level to kill the Zhaolie Emperor, which was already called anti-heaven. Of course, if he hadn't brought out the poems to compare, then Liu Bei would have been able to run away with his life.
In the same way, the same is true of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi. Zhuge Liang led the weak team Shu Han to besiege the super-first-class strong team Cao Wei Gate, pressing Cao Wei beyond halftime, and this process is already very telling. Of course, if you have to use the final outcome of "Jin and Swallow the Three Kingdoms" to test the two, then Zhuge Liang can only laugh and say nothing.
Wei Yan and Jiang Wei, who are more powerful, are also the same. In other words, some standards must be set, otherwise it will only become a war of words. To this end, the author has set two indicators.
One: Comparison of military capabilities
Wei Yan and Jiang Wei were both famous generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, so the first indicator was the comparison of professional military capabilities.
Wei Yan (魏延) was the one who led the troops to join the Shu Han during Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan. That is to say, it is not as in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Zhuge Liang saw Wei Yan, he concluded that there was a backbone behind his head, and he would rebel in the future, and he would cut him down. Therefore, Wei Yan belonged to Liu Bei's confidant brother. At that time, Zhuge Liang was in charge of internal affairs and had little military involvement.
With Liu Bei entering the river, Wei Yan stepped onto the stage of the Three Kingdoms. Although the official history does not record what he had at this moment, after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he designated Wei Yan to sit in Hanzhong and Become Hanzhong Taishou to analyze. Obviously, Wei Yan's ability was recognized by Liu Bei.
Because the Shu Han had two major life gates, the so-called "chasing deer in the Central Plains to see Jingzhou, partial security to protect hanzhong". Jingzhou was guarded by Guan Yu, the first general of the Shu Han Dynasty, while Hanzhong gave it to Wei Yan! This was the embodiment of Wei Yan's military capabilities. As for the later deputy, following Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and the famous Meridian Valley Plot, in fact, it is not as good as "Zhen Shou Hanzhong" to explain the problem.
Jiang Wei, a disciple of Zhuge Liang's own lineage, folded Ma Mo in the first Northern Expedition, but came to Jiang Wei. That is to say, Jiang Wei actually replaced Ma Mo's position and became Zhuge Liang's key training object. Following Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei's exploits were inconspicuous. After all, with the star of Zhuge Liang, who can compete and seize its glory?
Therefore, Jiang Wei's real outbreak was his Nine Harvest Central Plains! When Sima Zhao launched the war against Shu, in the edict of Shu, there was such a sentence: Shu is only dependent, because it is far away from the nest, and it is easy to use force... If you capture (Jiang) Wei, bento should go hand in hand and sweep away Bashuya.
Obviously, in Sima Zhao's eyes, Jiang Wei was the key to whether he could destroy Shu! Nowadays, many people criticize Jiang Weijiu for cutting down the Central Plains, which is the main reason for the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, but how to explain this sentence "Shu depends on it, only Wei is only wei"? The pot of Shu Han's demise made Jiang Wei's back, and the reason did not make sense at all.
Analysis: After the comparison, many people will think that Jiang Wei's ability is stronger than Wei Yan's, but the author thinks that it is a draw.
Because Jiang Wei gave up, Wei Yan's strategic deployment of "wrongly guarding the sieges" when he was running Hanzhong was a failure, and he gave up Hanzhong. It was precisely because of Hanzhong in hand that Deng Ai dared to carry out the "Yinping Smuggling". Therefore, in terms of military ability, Wei Yan and Jiang Wei are difficult to distinguish between high and low.
Second, the comparison of comprehensive capabilities
Comprehensive capability is a comprehensive examination item such as interpersonal ability after excluding military capabilities. The reason why only the ability to interpersonal relationships is mentioned is because the success of any cattle person is the result of "one will become famous and ten thousand bones". Coordinating interpersonal relationships is naturally the top priority.
Unfortunately, in this article, Wei Yan, like Guan Yu, was a weakness. If Guan Yu had good interpersonal coordination skills, he would not be betrayed by Mi Fang, Liu Feng did not save and other sadistic incidents, resulting in the defeat and death of soldiers and the loss of Jingzhou.
Similarly, Wei Yan had nothing to do with Yang Yi, and the two were zhuge liang's left and right arms, making Zhuge Liang's head large and difficult to balance, and he could only rely on his own personal majesty to suppress it--Zhuge Liang's many cattle people could not coordinate perfectly. It can be seen that the ability to coordinate interpersonal relationships is "how to minimize internal friction and maximize the synergy of the team".
Is this a necessary ability for cattle people, and a standard that must be examined? The so-called comprehensive ability is all reflected in this.
Wei Yan was in the same water and fire as Yang Yi, and eventually after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan was killed by Yang Yi.
Jiang Wei himself was a disciple of Zhuge Liang's own lineage, but he became Zhuge Liang's son, and Zhuge Zhan's eyes were nailed, so much so that before Zhuge Zhan died, he still remembered that "jiang Wei was not made except for Huang Hao, and Jiang Wei was not guarded." Jiang Wei, together with Huang Hao, became Zhuge Zhan's legacy!
Analysis: Wei Yan died in an infighting, almost causing Shu Han to fall apart, and although Jiang Wei was caught in an infighting, he was able to survive in the end. In such a comparison, it is obvious that Jiang Wei wins!
3. General analysis
Wei Yan was Liu Bei's confidant, Jiang Wei was Zhuge Liang's personal disciple, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang represented the two periods of Shu Han respectively, so Wei Yan and Jiang Wei were equal in status.
Although in the end, Jiang Wei won, it proved that Zhuge Liang did not look away. But in fact, both are tragic people.
Wei Yan's tragedy is that he is too realistic.
As soon as Zhuge Liang died, Wei Yan wanted to replace Zhuge Liang and shouted out, "Although Xiang Xiang is dead, I am still here" and wants to continue to fight with Sima Yi. It was not that Wei Yan could not imagine what kind of losses and shock Zhuge Liang's death would cause to Shu Han, and if he continued to fight in this situation, Shu Han would be crippled. Rather, Wei Yan places too much emphasis on power and personal gains and losses — the reality is almost short-sighted, which is the root of Wei Yan's murder!
Jiang Wei's tragedy is that he is too idealistic.
From Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei inherited the most from Zhuge Liang not military talent, but his firm belief in the "Kuang Fu Han Room". Even though Liu Chan surrendered, he still struggled to restore the Shu Han dynasty until the last moment, provoking Zhong Hui to rebel on his own, and was killed after failure.
Therefore, the ideal color on Jiang Wei's body is extremely strong, although he is a tragic figure in history, he is like Zhuge Liang, leaving the ideal light.
Therefore, standing at a higher level comparing Wei Yan and Jiang Wei, it is obvious that Jiang Wei has won again - people, there must always be some ideals, history, there must always be an ideal light to lead and illuminate, and can not always emerge endless "thick black" struggle.
