Throughout the establishment of the Shu Han Dynasty, Wei Yan's contribution to his establishment should be obvious to all. Moreover, this person also specially admires Liu Xuande, and is a hardcore fan of Uncle Liu Huang. Personally, I believe that in the process of Liu Bei's establishment of the entire Shu Han Dynasty, Wei Yan did make a lot of contributions to Liu Bei's siege of the city and the land, and the confrontation was indeed a lot of merit.
In addition, we can see from Wei Yan's continuous improvement of his official rank, starting from his follow-up to Liu Bei. In addition to not ranking among the five tiger generals, the position is constantly improving. He fought Wen Ping, killed Han Xuan, zhi grabbed Ling Bao, etc., all of which he did made a perfect preparation for the establishment of Shu Han, and also made Liu Bei's road to success closer and closer.
So in the process of establishing the Shu kingdom, Wei Yan made countless meritorious contributions, brave and good at war, how many fierce generals did he behead, how?
First, the knife split Cao Zun.
It is said that Cao Zun appeared in the process of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. At that time, Zhuge Liang began the Northern Expedition, and the general selected by Cao Wei was Cao Zhen, and Cao Zun was appointed by Cao Zhen as the vanguard of the team. In the face of Zhuge Liang's army, there were two pioneers in Cao Wei's army, one was Cao Zun and the other was Zhu Zan. Since Cao Zun can serve as a pioneer, he definitely has his outstanding ability.
The description of the vanguard in book 72 of the Book of Wei: Looking forward to the battle and the pioneer, the light is safe and the car is gu.
In the military, not everyone can take on this position. And later, Kong Ming asked Wei Yan to go to the Wei camp to intercept the camp. Wei Yan then replied, "Cao Zhen is quite familiar with the art of war, and naturally he would expect that someone would intercept the camp today." Kong Ming also acknowledged Wei Yan's claims. It can be seen here that Cao Zhen is not an incompetent leader.
Moreover, Cao Zun was slashed by Wei Yan, and Zhuge Liang fought against the Qiang people, and finally surrendered the Western Qiang. Kong Ming then ordered the army to begin to return, and Cao Zhen did not know that Zhuge Liang's withdrawal was a plan. So he ordered the army to go in pursuit, but unfortunately, Wei Yan suddenly killed him halfway through, and within three rounds, Cao Zun was killed by Wei Yan. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the passage in which Cao Zun was beheaded:
Cao Zun was horrified and fought with his horse; he was slashed by Wei Yan under his horse.
But to tell the truth, Cao Zun's combat effectiveness was really not very good, and he did not survive three rounds under Wei Yan's hands. This combat effectiveness is really quite poor. As the vanguard of the Wei army, he was directly killed by Wei Yan. However, wei Yan experienced countless battles of all sizes in the camp of Shu Han. It can be described as having experienced hundreds of battles, not to mention that there are not many generals who make him afraid in the late Three Kingdoms period. A little Cao Zun, maybe he really can't look at it.
Second, kill the king double.
Wang Shuang's image can indeed be, judging from his appearance alone, making sixty pounds of large knives, riding thousands of miles to march like a horse, opening two stone iron tire bows, hiding three meteor hammers, a hundred shots, and having the courage of ten thousand men. Judging from the description here, Wang Shuang is definitely a "tough general".
He was also recommended by Cao Zhen and appointed as the vanguard general of the Wei army. In addition, when Wang Shuang led an army to besiege Chen Cangcheng in front of Zhuge Liang, he showed his combat skills. Killed the Shu generals Xie Xiong and Gong Qi.
However, although Wang Shuang did have outstanding strength values, he encountered Wei Yan, the "fierce general" of the existing generals in the Shu Han Dynasty, second only to Zhao Yun. Wei Yan resisted Wang Shuang at the Chen Cang Pass, and Kong Ming gave Wei Yan a bag of tips, and at night, he pulled out the camp and retreated.
Wang Shuang did not know that it was Kong Ming's plan, and when he heard the news of Wei Yan's retreat, he immediately sent troops to pursue. When Wang Shuang's subordinates saw a fire in the walled city outside the city, they found that it was a plan. However, it was already too late at this time, wei Yan suddenly came out of the forest on horseback and slashed Wang Shuang under the horse with a knife. It is described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms:
Walking to the left side of the hillside, a horse suddenly emerged from the forest and shouted, "Wei Yan is here!" Wang Shuang was shocked, caught off guard, and was slashed by Yan Yi's sword under his horse.
However, it is a little curious to say that among the generals killed by Wei Yan, only two are recorded, one Cao Zun and one Wang Shuang. Both of them were the vanguard of the great general Cao Zhen, and both of them died under Wei Yan's sword. Moreover, these two people were able to solve the battle in three rounds, and Wang Shuang, who was slightly more powerful, was killed by Wei Yan with one sword. At this time, Wei Yan had the style of Guan Gong in that year.
In the Three Kingdoms, in the late Shu Han Wars, the generals of the Shu State withered away from the Five Tiger Generals, and there were fewer and fewer generals who could fight. The remaining Zhao Yun had also reached his twilight years. Therefore, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Wei Yan's figure would almost always appear. He either defeated or defeated, or captured enemy generals. There is no doubt that he has become a generation of famous players. However, history did not give him a fair statement, and he was put on the hat of "anti-general". Wei Yan's death was indeed a pity. If Wei Yan had not been killed by Ma Dai, but had been carefully persuaded, perhaps the fighting power of the Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms would not have been able to surrender directly before they fought.
Therefore, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the famous general of the Shu Kingdom, Wei Yan, has made countless meritorious contributions, brave and good at fighting, how many fierce generals he has beheaded, what do you think?
Stay tuned and tell the story of the Three Kingdoms and learn about that little-known history.
