Introduction: In our lives, there is always no shortage of smooth-talking figures. Slip-on is not only a way to help people strengthen their memories, but it's also a simple and effective way to articulate things. Catchy slips are very conducive to spreading and can leave a very deep impression on people's hearts in a short period of time.
It is not uncommon to slip up with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, which clearly tells the complex and profound truth through simple sentence patterns. Water Ganning, land Wei Yan is one of the most characteristic slips of the tongue. Gan Ning and Wei Yan were the generals of the State of Wu and the State of Shu respectively, and the reason why everyone compared the two of them together was mainly because both of them had extremely outstanding talents.
But many people expressed their doubts about this sentence, Ganning bandits, often on the waterway to do things to rob the family, was given "water Ganning" is also worthy of the name. How could Wei Yanhe be able to become a top general on land? From a strategic point of view, he was inferior to Zhuge Liang and others, and in terms of combat effectiveness, no matter whether it was the Five Tiger Generals or the Five Sons of Liang Generals, anyone was much stronger than him, so how did the phrase "Land Wei Yan" come about?
If you want to fully and comprehensively understand this slip of the tongue, you must have a general understanding of the life experiences of Gan Ning and Wei Yan. In the history books, there is no record of what year Gan Ning was born, but it is certain that Gan Ning was a native of Chongqing. He had admired the doctrine of chivalry since he was a child, and in the chaotic times, he and his friends began to occupy the mountains as kings.
A few of them began to control the nearby traffic arteries, Chongqing is mountainous, and in ancient times, taking the water route became a more convenient way. Gan Ning seized the business opportunity and simply camped by the river and robbed the passers-by on the spot. Such a strategy was obviously very effective, and he relied on plundering the wealth of passers-by to live a few years of easy and elegant days.
After a few years, Gan Ning was tired of the life of robbing the family, so he began to re-plan his life. This is an extremely important node, and from then on his life will be cut off from the identity of a bandit. When a teenager really begins to plan his life, his life is reborn
In the turbulent world of wind and rain, if you want to get a wonderful life, the difficulty of this can be imagined. The life of a bandit made Gan Ning feel tired, so he decided to turn to Liu Biao, hoping to find a way out of the emperor's relatives. I didn't expect that Liu Biao was not the Lord, and doing things under Liu Biao's hands was really hopeless. So Gan Ning turned to Sun Quan and began his legendary life from then on.
Gan Ning's later achievements were very dazzling, he first helped Zhou Yu capture the Yiling area, and then he showed his skills in Xiaoyaojin and saved Sun Quan's life. After the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, Gan Ning gradually established his own prestige, and his prestige gradually spread to farther places, so that he had achieved great feats and fully assumed the reputation of "".
Liu Bei's entry into the river was the biggest turning point in Wei Yan's life. At this time, Wei Yan was just a small general under Liu Biao, but with the support of Liu Bei, he gradually came out on top. It is true that Wei Yan was not a top martial artist, there were many people who were more resourceful than him, and there were many people who were stronger than his martial arts, but none of this prevented Wei Yan from displaying his talents.
As the latest of the three major forces, Liu Bei was extremely important to Liu Bei. Liu Bei finally conquered the Hanzhong region in 219 AD, but Liu Bei's subsequent moves were somewhat abnormal. In the face of the hard-fought Hanzhong, many people thought that Liu Bei would let Zhang Fei be the first Hanzhong Taishou, and as a result, Liu Bei promoted Wei Yan, who was in a lower position at that time, and let him be the Hanzhong Taishou.
Behind such a practice, there is naturally Liu Bei's own considerations. Although Zhang Fei has worked hard and achieved great feats, he always loves to make mistakes, and Hanzhong is related to the safety of Shudi, and there must be no mistakes! During Wei Yan's more than ten years as the Taishou of Hanzhong, he successfully repelled many attacks by Cao Jun and guarded Liu Bei's foundation. Such a great achievement can naturally enjoy the reputation of "land Wei Yan".
Under the successive blows of Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou and Liu Bei's defeat at Yiling, the Shu state was really precarious, but fortunately Wei Yan successfully defended the Hanzhong region and established an indestructible defense line for the Shu state.
Conclusion: Wei Yan single-handedly defended the important place of Hanzhong for the Shu state, but unfortunately he was self-conscious, and even had a tendency to rebel. This negative image has been rooted in people's minds for so long that people will ignore his great achievements and only see a one-sided negative image. All in all, Gan Ning and Wei Yan were both first-class generals, and the name "Gan Ning on the water, Wei Yan on land" has credibility.
