On October 8 of the twelfth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang, a strategist, died and dealt a heavy blow to the Already stormy Shu Han regime. Since the fall of Jingzhou, Shu Han has successively lost Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Fazheng and others, and there is a shortage of talents. However, before Zhuge Liang died, he secretly left a person behind, killed two major beams, and allowed Shu Han to extend his life span by 30 years.
The person left behind by Zhuge Liang was Fei Yi, who, along with Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Dong Yun, was called the "Four Phases of Shu Han". He lost his father when he was young and lived with his father, Fei Boren. Fei Boren's aunt was the mother of Liu Zhang, the mu of Yizhou, so Liu Zhang sent someone to pick fei Boren into Shu, and Fei Yi also went with him. When Liu Bei was crown prince, Prince Fei Yi gave up his life and moved his son. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, Fei Yi became a palace attendant. He has an easy-going personality and a humorous conversation, so Zhuge Liang has a good impression of him.
In the third year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang returned triumphantly after conquest of Nanzhong, and officials from the DPRK set up a road to meet him. Most of these people's official positions and ages were above Fei Yi, but Zhuge Liang specially invited him to sit in the same car, and the two talked for a long time in the carriage, and also appointed Fei Yi as a lieutenant of Zhaoxin. Since then, everyone has looked at him with astonishment. In fact, Zhuge Liang did this for a reason, and he wanted Fei Yi to ease the contradiction between Wei Yan and Yang Yi.
Both Wei Yan and Yang Yi have talents, but both have flaws in personality. The former is arrogant and arrogant, has a rough temperament, and is difficult to get along with others. The latter's arrogance was no less than Wei Yan's, perhaps more powerful than him, and at the same time, Yang Yi was also narrow-minded, with sharp teeth and sharp teeth. Wei Yan said that Yang Yi could not say that often in the process of working together, the two often had conflicts, and they could not see each other well and hated each other. Fei Yi often and thin mud, persuaded the two, coupled with Zhuge Liang's constraints, they did not make any big trouble, but it was always a hidden danger.
Sun Quan once said to Fei Yi: "Yang Yi and Wei Yan are both mushu villains, although they are a little talented, but they can't get on the table after all." In the future, without Zhuge Liang's discipline, the two will surely become a scourge. You are so confused, if you don't guard against them early, how do you plan for the future? "Shu Han is exactly the time to employ people, if you get rid of the two people, there will be two less available talents, Zhuge Liang also took this into account, so he let Fei Yi reconcile from it."
Before Zhuge Liang died of Wuzhangyuan's illness, he secretly arranged for the events behind his death. He knew that after his death, the remaining people would be difficult to compete with Sima Yi, so he let Fei Yi and Yang Yi lead a large army to retreat after his own death, and after Wei Yan broke off, Jiang Wei was second; if Wei Yan did not obey the order, he would be dealt with by military law, and he also explained that he would not be buried after his death. As early as the first Northern Expedition, Wei Yan wanted to lead his troops alone and take a big risk to attack Chang'an. He was Sima Yi's opponent and was stopped by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang gave the military power to Yang Yi because he would not continue the Northern Expedition because of greed, and since he and Wei Yan had never been at odds, the two would certainly not cooperate, then shu Han's army would not suffer too many casualties.
Sure enough, after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan refused to withdraw his troops, and said: "Although the minister is dead, we are still here, and since we are leading an army to attack the thieves, how can we delay the world's major events because of the death of one person?" Besides, who is I Wei Yan, will I be punished by Yang Yi, and will I be a general after the decision! Fei Yi saw the situation, implemented the strategy of slowing down the army, pretended to agree with his plan to continue the Northern Expedition, and said: "I should go back and persuade Yang Yi for you, he is a civilian official, he rarely cares about the military, he will certainly not disobey the order, and continue the Northern Expedition with you." After stabilizing Wei Yan, Fei Yi fled.
After Yang Yi withdrew with the main force, Wei Yan realized that he had been deceived and wanted to chase, but it was too late. Later, Wei Yan was forced to flee Hanzhong with his son, but was eventually pursued and killed by Ma Dai. After eliminating Wei Yan, Yang Yi was still left. He always felt that he was Zhuge Liang's heir and could take on great responsibilities, but he did not expect that Zhuge Liang had made Jiang Huan the prime minister, which made him very dissatisfied. As a result, he often vented his dissatisfaction through words, and the other ministers were afraid of his lack of words and did not dare to associate with him.
Only the rear military master Fei Yi went to visit and comfort him, and Yang Yi expressed his dissatisfaction like Fei Yi: "If I had led my troops to Cao Wei when Xiang Xiang died, I would not have ended up like this, and I regret it now!" Fei Yi secretly informed Liu Chan of the incident, so Yang Yi was reduced to a commoner and exiled to Hanjia County. When Yang Yi arrived at the penal colony, she still refused to give up and wrote to slander her many times. The court sent people down to the county to arrest her and make him commit suicide.
Without the two time bombs of Wei Yan and Yang Yi, the Shu Han regime was able to survive for an additional thirty years under the leadership of Jiang Huan, Fei Yi and others.
