Zhuge Liang died of illness
In 234 AD, a generation of famous zhuge liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, Zhuge Liang six out of Qishan, has been fighting for "restoring the Han room, still in the old capital", but unfortunately, under Sima Yi's repeated resistance, finally stopped his steps, Yu Wuzhangyuan fell seriously ill, had to prepare for future generations.
Before Zhuge Liang died, he summoned Yang Yi, Jiang Wei, and Fei Yi to discuss the future generations, and the original work was written in great detail. In short, the military power was handed over to Yang Yi, the art of war was handed over to Jiang Wei, and Yang Yi was allowed to lead the army to slowly retreat, and after Ordering Wei yan was broken, Jiang Wei was second. Of course, there was also a secret arrangement, that is, to let Ma Dai kill Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was beheaded
After Wei Yan learned of the death of The Chancellor, he heard Fei Yi's report, and Yang Yi led the army to slowly retreat, ordering him to cut off the queen himself. At this time, Wei Yan was already a vanguard general, the second in command in the army, and how could the arrogant Wei Yan listen to the manipulation of a civilian official, so he rushed back to the army one step ahead and came to compete with Yang Yi for military power.
What hatred did Wei Yan and Yang Yi have? Mainly in character. Wei Yangang and self-effacing, in the era of Zhuge Liang, had become a general in the Shu army, and was above the generals in terms of ability and merit, except for Zhuge Liang, who was not in the eyes of the chancellor. Especially in the later period, as a general of zhengxi, he was only under Zhuge Liang. Therefore, in terms of behavior, the generals of the Shu army will let the unruly Wei Yan not bother with him at all.
Everyone was accustomed to Wei Yan in this way, but Yang Yi was an exception, believing that his ability was equally outstanding, and it was also a merit to Duoli. Wei Yan was just a reckless man, why should he be inferior to this person everywhere. Therefore, the two people opened up when they did not agree, often causing a sword to draw at each other, and one to cry and weep. If it weren't for the good old man Fei Yi in the middle and the thin mud, the fire would have risen long ago.
How Wei Yan could let his nemesis Yang Yi ride on his head was simply an insult. Yang Yi is only a long history, how can he command a large army, although The minister died of illness, but I am still here, I can continue the Northern Expedition. Therefore, Wei Yan copied before Yang Yi and burned the boardwalk to block Yang Yi.
After Wei Yan and Yang Yi met, they came up and opened their minds. As a result, Yang Yi took out the bag of beggars and proceeded according to the plan. Angered Wei Yan, he shouted three times, "Who dares to kill me", willing to give up military power. Wei Yan was eager to slaughter Yang Yi at this time, of course, he was proud of his martial arts, and shouted in front of the battle: "Who dares to kill me!" ”
In the original work, it is written: Yi Daxi, riding out lightly, immediately before the battle, the finger Wei Yan and smiled: "The prime minister is in the day, knowing that Ru will rebel after a long time, teach me to prepare, and now the fruit should be his words." Ru dared to shout three times on the horse, whoever dared to kill me was a really big husband, and I sacrificed the city of Hanzhong and Ru. Yan Da laughed and said, "Yang Yipifu listens!" If Kong Ming is in Japan, I am still afraid of him for three points; he is dead now, who in the world dares to oppose me? Hugh Dao cried out three times in a row, and he cried out thirty thousand, and how difficult it was! Then he raised his knife and pressed it, and Yu immediately shouted, "Who dares to kill me?" ”
Wei Yan shouted only once, and Ma Dai shouted behind Wei Yan, "I dare to kill Ru!" A knife slashed Wei Yan under his horse, and everyone was horrified. It turned out that Zhuge Liang's task for Ma Dai was to kill Wei Yan when he was proud. Sadly, after Wei Yan was killed, Yang Yi actually killed Wei Yan's three tribes.
Death of Yang Yi
After Wei Yan's death, Yang Yi helped Zhuge Liang's coffin back to the dynasty. The later lord Liu Chan followed Zhuge Liang's will and reused Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Jiang Wei, Wu Yi and others, while Yang Yi was only named a Chinese military division, which was far from Jiang Wan's Grand Sima (蒋琬) sima (蒋琬). At this time, Yang Yi made a big fuss: "In the old days, if I surrendered my whole division to Wei, I would rather be lonely!" Although Yang Yi was jealous, such a rebellious remark really caused the disaster of killing himself.
Later, the lord beat Yang Yi into prison and wanted to kill him, but because of his merits in the dynasty. Later, according to Jiang Wan's wishes, the lord demoted Yang Yi to a shuren and exiled to Hanjia County. Yang Yi was ashamed of himself, and since then Yang Yi and Wei Yan have died.
The Beggar's Death
Yang Yi and Wei Yan were both talents, and the Shu Han talents were withered away and the national strength was lacking, so why were both of them obliterated? The latter is cowardly and incompetent, whose behind-the-scenes manipulation is this? There is only one answer, Zhuge Liang.
First, Zhuge Liang was in charge of the military and political power of the Shu Han Dynasty and knew the national conditions very well. Although he had himself, Shu Han could send troops to the Northern Expedition many times, and his national strength was still depleted, if he changed to someone else, wouldn't he be playing with fire and self-immolation. While Sima Yi was still alive, after Zhuge Liang died of illness, no one in his descendants was an opponent of the State of Wei, so Zhuge Liang ordered the retreat of the army and the cessation of the Northern Expedition.
At the point of the Northern Expedition, Wei Yan's ideas were different from Zhuge Liang's. Wei Yan said many times, "Don't delay the country's major affairs because of the minister alone!" And "Although the Prime Minister is dead, I am still alive!" That is to say, after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan would continue the Northern Expedition, an unpopular general, one was not Sima Yi's opponent, and the other was cowardly, wouldn't he take Shu Han to jump into the fire pit.
Second, Yang Yi was narrow-minded and could not accommodate things. If he is allowed to govern, he will definitely crack down on dissidents, and Wei Yan is an example. Everyone knew that Wei Yan was strong, but Yang Yi could not understand the great righteousness like Cao Wei Li Dian, but he fought with Wei Yan everywhere. Wei Yan was still like this, and others were not excluded by Yang Yi everywhere.
After Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu Han Dynasty adopted a stable development strategy and accumulated national strength. And Yang Yi has such a heart, how can the political situation settle down?
Third, Zhuge Liang's successor had already given a clear answer when Li Fu asked an an. After Zhuge Liang's death, his successors were Jiang Huan, Fei Yi, and others. Doesn't this mean that neither Yang Yi nor Wei Yan can be reused? Since neither of them will obey, it is properly arranged and deposed one by one.
Zhuge Liang had actually expected that after his death, Wei Yan would definitely fight with Yang Yi, and Wei Yan would definitely not rebel, so he arranged for Ma Dai to take advantage of the opportunity to result in Wei Yan. If Wei Yan really wanted to surrender to Cao Wei, no one could stop him. And if Zhuge Liang wanted to reuse Yang Yi, why not directly arrange for Yang Yi to be the successor? And with Yang Yi's mentality, things will definitely cause trouble, but "Xiucai rebelled, not in three years", a civilian official cannot influence the situation in the DPRK, and the contrary to the current dynasty, will definitely be obliterated.
Therefore, since Zhuge Liang reused Yang Yi and Wei Yan before he died, if he wanted to continue to appoint them, he should try his best to save them. And there are already acquiescing successors, these two people can not tolerate things, so a bad ending has become fate.
On the whole, Zhuge Liang had to sacrifice two people for the sake of the imperial court's grand plan!
