Preface
During the Three Kingdoms period, Jingzhou was a place where soldiers must fight, this is the place where the traffic must pass, and it connects Ba and Shu to the west, Wuhui to the east, and the Han and Chu in the north, and the South China Sea.
It has been a very important place since ancient times, and there have been a lot of talents here, and it can be said that the talents here are all over the country during the Three Kingdoms period.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Biao first ruled Jingzhou, and the talents here were also obtained by Liu Biao, but Liu Biao did not cherish these talents, which led to these talents defecting elsewhere after Liu Biao's death.
Among these talents, there are three particularly outstanding people, and after Liu Biao's death, the three were recruited by the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, who are they?
First, the strongest ability
Let's start with the weakest Shu Kingdom, speaking of Shu Kingdom, although they are the weakest among the Three Kingdoms, there are many famous talents in history in their country.
For example, the famous Five Tiger Generals in history, or Zhuge Liang, who was invited by Liu Bei Sangu Maolu, there are many, many talents under him.
And among them, there is a talent from Liu Biao, and this talent is still the most capable of the three generals under Liu Biao, and this person is Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was Liu Biao's subordinate at the beginning, but he did not get any important positions in Liu Biao's hands, after Liu Biao's death, Liu Biao had entrusted Liu Bei to become the new boss of Jingzhou, but Liu Bei couldn't bear to occupy the magpie's nest because of Liu Biao's acceptance, so he refused Liu Biao.
Later, Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong took over Jingzhou, but soon Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Bei left Jingzhou, and many talents also left Jingzhou.
Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang also took refuge in Jingzhou, and Wei Yan was also one of them, after leaving Jingzhou, he chose to follow Liu Bei, and in Liu Bei's hands he finally shined.
Liu Bei has always valued talents, Liu Bei knew that he was a rare general when he looked at Wei Yan's appearance, and this is exactly the case, after becoming Liu Bei's subordinate, Liu Bei sent Wei Yan many times to conquer other forces, so he made great achievements.
Especially in the battle after Liu Bei and Liu Zhang broke up, Wei Yan contributed a lot in the war, so he won the title of General Yamen.
In 219, Liu Bei finally became the king, and in Chengdu Dingdu, but Hanzhong needed a big future to guard, everyone thought that it was Zhang Fei, who had followed Liu Bei for the longest time and had a very high force, to take this position, but Liu Bei let stomach medicine take this position, and promoted him to be the general of Zhenyuan.
Two years later, Liu Bei established Shu Han, and Wei Yan was also promoted and became the general of Zhenbei, and the general of Zhenbei is a second-rank official, second only to the general of the four expeditions, and is the position of a general, and Wei Yan's ability to become this position also proves how strong his ability is.
However, Shu Han was only established for two years, Liu Bei died of illness, but the story of Shu Han is not over, Liu Chan ascended the throne, Zhuge Liang did his best for Shu Han, for the development of Shu Han, he began to plan the Northern Expedition.
Everything is still going well, and Wei Yan was also promoted to Prime Minister Sima, but Wei Yan was supposed to be the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, but because when Zhuge Liang and others talked about it together, Ma Yan's knowledge was very rich, and Zhuge Liang was sometimes ashamed of himself, so Zhuge Liang was like letting Ma Tan serve as the leader of the defenders of the street pavilion.
However, Ma Tan's performance in actual combat was not satisfactory, which eventually led to the failure of the Battle of Jieting, and Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition also failed.
When Cao Cao led the three-way army to attack Hanzhong, as the general who guarded Hanzhong, Wei Yan bore the brunt of the battle against the Wei army, and the final result was to defeat the Wei army that surpassed him, and Wei Yan was also promoted to the general of the expedition to the west.
Wei Yan behaved very poorly in dealing with the world, not only had a bad attitude towards his peers, but also did not care about his subordinates, after Zhuge Liang died of illness, because he did not get the military and political power, so he had a bad relationship with Yang Yi, who had a bad relationship and now got the military and political power.
In the end, Wei Yan was unwilling to be under Yang Yi, so he launched an attack on Yang Yi's army, Yang Yi sent Wang Ping to resist, and finally defeated Wei Yan, Wei Yan was also killed by Ma Dai, so Wei Yan's life came to an end.
Wei Yan's ability is very strong, it can be said that he is not inferior to the five tiger generals, but his character determines that he is not willing to be subordinate, Zhuge Liang knew what kind of person Wei Yan was when he saw Wei Yan for the first time, so he guarded against him many times.
2. From the grass hat
Liu Biao's second talent came to the Wu State, which was stronger than the Shu State, and the most famous Wu State had to be the father and son of the Sun family, just like the later Su Xun father and son, they were all very famous figures in history.
Sun Jian and Sun Ce both paid a lot for the establishment of the Wu State, and then Sun Quan was able to establish himself as the emperor and become the emperor of the Wu State.
And the talent of Liu Biao in the hands of Wu Guo is Gan Ning, who is also very famous in history, Gan Ning, like Wei Yan, cannot be reused in the hands of Liu Biao, and when Sun Quan recruited talents, he led 800 soldiers to defect to Sun Quan.
After joining the camp of Wu State, he was also reused, Gan Ning's record is still very brilliant, he once captured Yiling with Zhou Yu, fought with Guan Yu in Yiyang, and then protected Sun Quan to escape from death, it can be said that his life is very exciting.
Unlike Wei Yan, he is very friendly to the people around him, and he loves his subordinates very much, and even in 2005, he was selected as one of the 100 historical and cultural celebrities in Chongqing, which is enough to prove his place in history.
3. Shock the enemy country
After that, it was Wei State, and it was Wen Ping who went to Wei State, he was the real general in Liu Biao's hands, and he was also the only talent among the three who was reused by Liu Biao, and Liu Biao once asked him to guard the north of Jingzhou.
Speaking of Wen Ping, he was a loyal person to Liu Biao, after Liu Biao's death, his son Liu Cong served as the new boss of Jingzhou, but Cao Cao launched an attack on Jingzhou at this time, and Liu Cong soon surrendered to Cao Cao.
When Liu Cong persuaded Wen Ping to surrender, Wen Ping actually cried and said that he was sorry for Liu Biao and could not hold his territory.
After that, he waited a long time to visit Cao Cao, and Cao Cao learned that the reason for Wen Ping's delay was that he was ashamed of his ancestors, admired him very much, gave him a lot of benefits, and asked him to command a part of the army, and let him go to Changbanpo to chase Liu Bei.
Wen Ping also had a fight with Guan Yu, and the battle ended with Guan Yu's side retreating, and he was not inferior in the battle with Wu Guo.
Wen Ping guarded Jiangxia for decades, during which Wu repeatedly attacked, but none of them were able to break through Jiangxia, Wen Ping blocked the attack of Wu alone, his reputation was also famous for the enemy, and Wu did not dare to invade Jiangxia again during his reign,
After Wen Ping's death, he was posthumously called Marquis Zhuang, and enjoyed enshrinement in Cao Cao's temple, which shows how high his status was in the Wei State.
epilogue
Liu Biao's subordinates actually have a lot of capable people, but Liu Biao is not good at seeing people, and he doesn't like to fight with people, Jingzhou was a pure land in the troubled times before the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, and many people came to Jingzhou for refuge.
Huang Zhong, a famous general of Shu, also served as Liu Biao's subordinate, and Jingzhou was indeed a region full of talents, but after Liu Cong surrendered, there began to be more wars here.
