In 220 AD, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi ascended the throne, and the imperial court added the fiefdom of Yanpu, which was in the middle of the ceremony. More than ten years later, Yan Pu died of illness. Although there are no more records in the historical materials, the ending of Yan Pu, a strategist, is still relatively good.
1. Zhang Lu seized Hanzhong, and Yan Pu advised him to give up being the king.
After Zhang Lu seized Hanzhong, Yan Pu served as Gongcao, followed Zhang Lu around, and was Zhang Lu's cronies. At that time, after the news of the seizure of the king in the Hanchuan region spread, the people were more in favor of it, and they felt that Zhang Lu was very qualified to become a king, so everyone invariably went to Zhang Lu to suggest that he be the king of Hanning.
Zhang Lu's words should be listened to from the cronies around him to listen to their opinions, at this time, Yan Pu said to Zhang Lu: "This is the secret of the Taishang to see the faith, how is it enough? In the past, King Wen was ordered to feed the mountain, King Wu was ordered to be in the field of Baiqi, the land of Hanchuan was widely crowded, the first soldiers were determined, the land was pleasant, and people should be raised. Entrusted to the imperial court, the imperial family's door material, the official subordinate position, only to undertake the system, why should you be called the king?"
Yan Pu was worried that if Zhang Lu became king, he would inevitably attract the attack of Cao Cao and others, and the lives of the people would be greatly affected, so he resolutely opposed Zhang Lu's proposal to become king, but hoped that Zhang Lu could take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the Han family, and not worry about his future and status, which was the most beneficial to the people.
Moreover, before Zhuge Liang entered Shu, Yan Pu did not misunderstand Zhang Lu, it can be said that he treated him loyally, and talents like Yan Pu, Zhuge Liang was very welcome, but unfortunately, in the end, Zhang Lu was still carried away by greed, listened to the conspiracy, and was obsessed.
Zhang Lu was stubborn and did not listen to the advice of people left and right, and finally became the king of Hanning as he wished, but unfortunately, his future also fell.
It can be seen that in the history of that time, there were indeed very few monarchs who could accept their own advice in time and put down their figures, and there were indeed very few people who could be loyal to the end, never forget their original intentions, and have faith.
Therefore, the appearance of the role of Yan Pu is absolutely inevitable in history, he just wants to use his own strength to bring a ray of light to the world, so that everyone can remember that in fact, in the history of that time, there was still such a strategist, his name is Yan Pu.
After Zhang Lu became the king of Hanning, it was indeed as the people wished, and people praised it sensationally, and naturally many people were very happy, especially the cronies around him, one by one, they smiled, as if they were also candidates to become the king of Hanning.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and later, Zhang Lu was instigated by Yang Song, and he had a bad heart and began to fight against Liu Bei.
Second, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, Yan Pu's wit and strategy.
With Cao Cao's continuous expansion, his reputation became bigger and bigger, and it was indeed in full swing, and Yan Pu also played a very big role in Cao Cao's expedition against Zhang Lu.
He persuaded Zhang Lu to go to a dangerous place to hide first, not to surrender in a hurry, and procrastinate and delay, so he slowly avoided Cao Cao's sharpness.
When Liu Bei sent an envoy to Zhang Lu to recruit him, this move did have a certain lethality to Cao Cao, which could greatly shake Zhang Lu's heart, but when Zhang Lu received this proposal, he did not have the slightest joy, but was very flustered and very nervous, and did not speak for several days.
When Cao Cao asked him for advice, he learned that it turned out that Zhang Lu's idea of surrendering Liu Bei had been vigorously opposed by Yan Pu, and Yan Pu told Zhang Lu that now was a good time to be reused, and Cao Cao could be treated very well, and if he surrendered to Liu Bei, he would not even be able to save his own life, let alone a good future.
Later, Zhang Lu listened to Yan Pu's advice and decided to surrender to Cao Cao, and sure enough, Cao Cao treated Zhang Lu very friendly, and gave him a very high official position and knighthood.
Everyone knows what happened later, Zhang Lu was indeed lured and confused step by step, and in the end, he surrendered to Cao Cao.
It can be said that Yan Pu's wisdom is a negative example in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, which can put forward a good educational question for people, telling everyone what kind of person is the one who really understands things and knows how to be responsible for his own choices, and what kind of person is the one who can really achieve great things, which is very worthy of people's learning and keeping in mind.
3. Yan Pu married his wife and married Ma Chao's wife.
In the story of the Three Kingdoms, there are not only many heroes and heroes, but also some female characters, who are either gentle and intelligent, or fierce and dare to love.
In the long history of the ancient mainland, there are some female figures, whose names have been deeply remembered by future generations and have become a beautiful landscape.
And in the history at that time, there was indeed such a very famous female figure, her name was Dong.
Dong is Ma Chao's wife, she followed Ma Chao to start from scratch and lived a beautiful life.
Later, Ma Chao followed Liu Bei to take refuge, Liu Bei liked Ma Chao very much, and Ma Chao also won Liu Bei's trust, not only was he made a magistrate, but even his family was a very good man.
After Ma Chao's death, Dong and his son remained in Hanzhong, and later, Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, and Dong and his son became prisoners and were sent to Cao Cao's side.
At that time, Yan Pu happened to be present, and Cao Cao wanted to make good use of Yan Pu, so he gave Dong and his son to Yan Pu.
This send, but Yan Pu, to the fun, he has always been interested in befriending Ma Chao, and also wants to take refuge in Liu Bei, but there has been no chance, now, it is a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
Therefore, Yan Pu secretly had an affair with the Dong family, and also took the opportunity to inquire about the Dong family, and after learning about Ma Chao's death, he was very happy, and felt that he would definitely be able to follow Cao Cao to have a good future.
And later, as it was, he became an important figure in Cao Cao, and was also given a fief of ten thousand households.
In the end, due to illness, Yan Pu also passed away, Cao Cao was very sad, and went to visit him in person, which shows that he is a very valued and very fond person in Cao Cao's heart.
It can be said that in ancient history, there were indeed many strategists and wise men, who may not necessarily be very handsome, nor necessarily have high martial arts, but their wisdom and cleverness are irreplaceable, and it can be said that they are a powerful force to promote the development of history.
Yan Pu is such a very wise and insightful person, his loyalty and wisdom have left a very deep impression on people in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, and he has used his actions to tell us what loyalty is
