Title: Wei Yan kicked over the Seven Star Lantern, why didn't Zhuge Liang kill him? Jiang Wei broke out in a cold sweat after learning the truth
Friends who have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should be very clear, and there is an important figure in this is Zhuge Liang. At the time of his 6th Northern Expedition, he was already very old, and perhaps Zhuge Liang was also very aware that his life expectancy was exhausted, so in order to continue to participate in the Northern Expedition smoothly, he set up a seven-star array and wanted to borrow another 20 years of life from the heavens.
However, the ending was very regrettable, and later Sima Yi sneaked in, and Wei Yan hurriedly came to the tent to report on the battle situation, because of this recklessness, he kicked over Zhuge Liang's Seven Star Array. There was nothing zhuge liang could do about wanting to borrow his life from the heavens again. For this thing that Wei Yan did at that time, Jiang Wei was very angry and bluntly said that he wanted to kill the other party, but in the end he was still stopped by Zhuge Liang.
Here I believe that everyone will have some questions, doing such a big wrong thing, why didn't he let Jiang Wei kill Wei Yan? Today, I will take you to see what kind of reasons it is. Zhuge Liang has been very cautious in doing things from his youth until now, and he also has a unique skill, that is, he looks at people by himself and looks at one accurately. Earlier, when Liu Bei was conquering Changsha, he was a subordinate of Changsha Taishou Han Dang.
At that time, he was already about to win a great victory, and Wei Yan was very clever, so he killed his leader and surrendered to Liu Bei's side. Moreover, at that time, he also shouted that Uncle Liu Huang was the Mandate of Heaven, and when Zhuge Liang heard it, he immediately laid down some swords and axes and bluntly said that he wanted to kill Wei Yan. Because he knew very well that Wei Yan could not be relied upon at all, he would do such a thing again after he could kill his previous leader, and if Liu Bei and himself were no longer alive in the future, there would be no one who could surrender to him, and it would definitely cause a rebellion again.
At that time, Wei Yan was also very afraid of Zhuge Liang's remarks, but fortunately, it was Liu Bei who interceded for himself before he picked up a life. Therefore, it is likely that he kicked out the 7 star lantern again this time, because his position in the Shu army was only second only to Kong Ming. Jiang Wei was a person who was adopted by Kong Ming during the 1st Northern Expedition. Both in terms of seniority and status, it was far inferior to Wei Yan.
Moreover, Wei Yan was an all-rounder of literature and martial arts, and his martial arts were no less than those of the Five Tiger Generals, and among the entire cronies, if Jiang Wei had killed Wei Yan at that time, he might have directly shaken the three armies. Sima Yi's army was right in front of him, and it would be very unwise to engage in infighting at this time. In the process, Jiang Wei did not kill Wei Yan, and after running away, he surrendered to Sima Yi, and his situation would be even more dangerous.
Wei Yan knew all the situation in the Shu Kingdom, and if he really defected to the enemy, he believed that attacking the Shu State would be an easy task. It was not this person who came to report at all, there would definitely be some of his cronies outside the whole tent, if jiang Wei was really allowed to kill the other party, Wei Yan would be very easy, he could kill Zhuge Liang first, and then marry Jiang Wei. When the time comes, he will go out and fabricate the facts, and he will be able to sit smoothly in the position of the first chair of the army. This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang, who has always been cautious, did not kill Wei Yan, and later Zhuge told Jiang Wei about his idea, which also scared him out of a cold sweat.
