Evaluation of Wei Yan and Liu Chan

Wei Yan has an opinion, but unfortunately it has not been fully exerted under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, and the Meridian Valley conspiracy is evidence, which he is somewhat similar to Zhao Yun.

As for Liu Chan, this is a misunderstanding, Liu Chan in many ways embodies the style of a Ming Jun, there are a lot of sayings, as for the collection of royal power, the acceptance of generals, etc., Liu Chan's approach is not like a faint monarch, look at history to have an objective attitude, can not follow the clouds, none of us are historians, but we will all look at the problem with a thinking eye, this is the most important.

Wei Yan has a bone in the back of his head.

Liu Chan, Liu Adou who can't be helped.

In the most sonic way, that's exactly what it is.

Wei Yan is the most trusted military general by Liu Bei besides Guan Zhang Zhao.

During the reign of Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan became the second person in the military and the old qualification among the generals. Except for Zhuge Liang, it is his military rank that is the highest. And he is indeed very talented, at that time, all the generals and civil officials in Shu except Zhuge Liang let him, but Yang Yi has always been unable to get along with him.

He is very brave and good at fighting, but his personality is relatively proud, and his popularity is not good, everyone can only say that he made him, not that he was good friends, so after Zhuge Liang died, he was killed by Yang Yi, but no one helped him.

Liu Chan's evaluation is difficult to say, my personal opinion is.

If Liu Chan will sigh, "Wei Yan will not die and Shu Han will not be destroyed", it must rely on Wei Yan's military talent and courage and good fighting. If Wei Yan is not killed, it is possible that the time of the destruction of Shu Han will be delayed for many years. The premise is that Wei Yan is loyal to Shu Han and devotes all his thoughts to assisting Liu Chan.

There is no general Liao Hua as a pioneer in Shuzhong", this is a true portrayal of the late Shu Han Dynasty, and the military strength of the Shu Han without a general has also been weakened a lot. If Wei Yan didn't die, the situation would definitely not be like this, at least Wei Yan's talent could resist many generals of Wei.

Wei Yan's life can be said to have been ruined in the hands of Zhuge Liang. It can be seen from the romance that Wei Yan is respectful to Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang is always not optimistic about Wei Yan. After Wei Yan surrendered to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang came to a dismount and immediately ordered Wei Yan to be pushed out and beheaded.

Unlike Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Wei Yan, Liu Bei admired Wei Yan very much, he valued Wei Yan's talent, and therefore handed over the important task of guarding Hanzhong to Wei Yan. Wei Yan did not fail in his mission and guarded Hanzhong for more than ten years, so that Cao Wei never dared to invade and ensured the safety of Shu.

In the process of the Northern Expedition, Wei Shenyan proposed the "Meridian Valley Conspiracy" strategy, which failed to be Zhuge Liang, so it made later generations argue. People are very sure of being a pure Wei Yan, and they also believe that Wei Yan can take on the important task of maintaining the security of Shu in the late Shu Han Dynasty.

In order to achieve final victory, in addition to relying on comprehensive national strength, we also need a good commander. Since the Battle of Yiling, the generals of Shu have withered in a faulty manner, so that there are no generals in the later books; Coupled with Wei Yan's death, Shu Han was even more unavailable.

If Zhuge Liang didn't leave a strategy to kill Wei Yan and let Wei Yan continue to serve Shu Han, he might be able to reverse Shu Han's disadvantage. Without Zhuge Liang to deter Wei Yan, Wei Yan would also be able to show his strength and display his military talents and ambitions.

In my personal opinion, even if Wei Yan does not die, he will not be able to save the Shuhan crisis. His presence was able to slow down the demise of Shu Han, but in the end he was powerless to reverse the outcome.

It is because Wei Yan is very loyal to Shu Han. Moreover, Fu Zhou's hand is lacking, and Wei Yan's combat ability is very strong. Able to protect the country. But if he dies, the filial piety Shu Han will not have any power.

It was because some people thought that if Wei Yan didn't die, he might not be able to withstand the joint attack of Deng Ai and Zeqi Zhonghui, and he would not be destroyed, so he made such an exclamation.

is because he thinks that Wei Yan is particularly powerful, Wei Yan, like Zhuge Liang, is a person who scheming the world, and he is particularly wise.

It's amazing. The first reason is that the army is very strong, the second reason is that the strategy is strong, the third reason is the strong management ability of the country, and the fourth reason is the security of the country.

Wei Yan's ability is not particularly powerful, and Liu Chan's emotion is just to get rid of his responsibility for causing the demise of Shu Han.

He was very powerful, and he made a great contribution to helping Shu Han at that time, and was also recognized by many people.

After Zhuge Liang died, if Wei Yan was still alive, then he would be the number one in the army. In other words, once Zhuge Liang dies and Ma Dai does not kill Wei Yan, then Wei Yan will be in a state of temporary invincibility.

Wei Yan is very talented in military affairs, and he is also very resourceful, brave and strategic, if Wei Yan is here, then Shu will not be wiped out by Wei so quickly.

Because Liu Chan was unwilling to admit that he had lost Shu Han, he threw the blame on the incompetence of his subordinates through such a statement; In fact, Wei Yan is not that powerful, he will perish if he does not die.

Regarding Liu Chan's surrender, there is a circulating saying, that is, Huang Hao, the eunuch next to Liu Chan at that time, thought thatIf Wei Yan is still alive, then Shu Han is more than that。Some people also think that this is said to Cao Huachun, the eunuch next to Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty"If the loyal and virtuous are here, the current affairs will not come to this"misinformation. theThe origin and authenticity are up for debate

But we can consider whether this argument is convincing. Was the fall of the Shu Han regime accidental, and if Wei Yan was still alive at the time, could the fate of the Shu Han regime be saved?

A general in the early period of the Shu Han Dynasty, quite talented and made many military exploits, Wei Yan was an important general in the early period of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms, and he was very brave in battle and quite talented in military affairs. Wei Yan followed the lord Liu Bei in 211 A.D. and made great achievements。After Liu Bei established himself as the queen of Hanzhong, everyone thought that Zhang Fei would have the post of guarding Hanzhong, but Liu Bei promoted Wei Yan to the general of Hanzhong Zhenyuan and the Taishou of Hanzhong.

After Liu Bei became emperor, he named Wei Yan as the general of Zhenbei, which established Wei Yan's status as a general of Shu Han.

Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong.

Wei Yan took it when defending Hanzhong"Heavy measures"。His strategy not only focused on the defense of the city gates, but also set up large-scale fortifications in various dangerous places and passes in Hanzhong. At the same time, strong generals are sent to guard, and elite troops are used to defend and counterattack, so that they can respond to each other's rescue.

During the 15 years that Wei Yan was stationed in Hanzhong, Cao Wei's army was kept out, its military capabilities can be seen.

In Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Wei Yan served as a former military division, responsible for dealing with the decision-making issues of the front-line war during the Northern Expedition. At the same time, Wei Yan has been subject to Zhuge Liang, in 227 AD, when Zhuge Liang first went on the Northern ExpeditionWei Yan proposed"Meridian Conspiracy"hoped to allow him to lead his troops through the Meridian Valley to take Chang'an, but Zhuge Liang felt that it was not safe enough to refuse. Every time he accompanied the army on the Northern Expedition, Wei Yan asked Zhuge Liang to let him lead 10,000 soldiers to take another road through Guanzhong, but Zhuge Liang never agreed with his strategy.

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition route.

It can be seen,Wei Yan does have his own ideas and opinions in military affairs, and can make certain plans and strategies on his ownand dare to directly put forward their own opinions to seek practical permission for action. Although many of Wei Yan's ideas were not accepted at the time, they are still discussed today, and some people even question Zhuge Liang's military ability, which not only reflects Wei Yan's military ability, but also reflects that Wei Yan's talent has been noticed and recognized by later generations.

Statue of Zhuge Liang.

Although Wei Yan is brave and good at fighting and has considerable military talent, does this mean that he can turn the tide at the end of the Shu Han Dynasty? Actually, it's not, from the other sideWei Yan's military advantages such as bravery and strategy also hint at his disadvantages in dealing with people and character, and this is a fatal obstacle to his long-term development, let alone to save the fate of Shu Han.

After Deng Ai's successful sneak attack on Yinping, Liu Chan, the queen of Shu Han, did not choose to refuse to defend the city, but chose to surrender Kaicheng. When Liu Chan surrendered, the eunuch said, "If Wei Yan is here, current affairs will not come to this".I think that even if Wei Yan is still alive, it still can't make Shu Han's life continue. Here's why:

Clause.

1. The national strength of Shu Han is empty. After Shu Han experienced Zhuge Liang's six Northern Expeditions and Jiang Wei's nine Northern Expeditions, Shu Han, who was not rich in the first place, was even more empty, and now Shu Han is extremely empty of national strength and unable to maintain normal national operation, so at this time, even if Zhuge is reborn, it will not be able to save Shu Han's crisis, even if Wei Yan is still alive, Shu Han still cannot continue.

What's more, this phrase simply did not exist. Some people say that this sentence was said by the eunuch Huang Hao, which proves the inaccuracy of this sentence even more. Huang Hao, as a eunuch, he only wants to monopolize power and squeeze out capable people, if Huang Hao can say it when Shu Han is destroyed:

If Wei Yan is here, current affairs will not come to this", it is enough to prove that he is at least a good eunuch. However, Mr. Chen Shou clearly wrote in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": "Hao from the Yellow Gate Order to the middle of the regular servant, the commander of the car, manipulated the authority, and finally overthrew the country."

The demise of Shu Han was because of Huang Hao's "manipulation of authority", which shows that he was not a good eunuch. Therefore, the sentence "If Wei Yan is here, current affairs will not come to this" must not come from Huang Hao's mouth.

Clause.

Second, there is a specialization in the art industry. People are best at what they are good at. Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country, while Wei Yan is suitable for charging into battle.

If Wei Yan is allowed to resist the attack of the Wei army at this time, at most he can temporarily resist the pace of the Wei army's destruction of Shu Han, not to mention, Wei Yan must be old at this time, and his ability to charge into battle is greatly reduced, even if he temporarily repels the Wei army, but it cannot continue the life of Shu Han.

It is impossible, at this time, the national strength of Shu Han is empty, there is no soil for continuation, and there is a specialization in the art industry.

In fact, the defeat of Shu at that time was the general trend, and it was not something that Wei Yan could change at all, and this sentence was just the emotion of the eunuchs.

I think it's okay. Wei Yan has strong military ability, and with his help, the probability of success of Shu Han's Northern Expedition will be greatly improved.

It shouldn't be possible, Shu Han has reached the time of collapse, and it is only a matter of time before it will perish, and sooner or later it will perish.

It probably won't go any further, otherwise even the slightest hope won't go to ruin.

If Wei Yan did not die, it would be impossible for Cao Wei to enter Shu from Hanzhong, and Wei Yan's defensive strategy was to fight steadily: "All the actual troops are surrounded to defend against foreign enemies, and if the enemy comes to attack, they will not be able to enter." and the battle of Xingshi, Wang Ping defended Cao Shuang and accepted his system. ”

It can't be continued. The strength of Wei, the loss of Shu, and the unification are only a matter of time, and this general trend cannot be stopped.

Wei Yan is indeed fierce, and he has helped Liu Bei capture Hanzhong, garrison Hanzhong, and make many contributions in the Northern Expedition.

01, Wei Yan, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty. Personally, I think that what Liu Chan said is purely an afterma, Wei Yan died because of him, and Shu Han died and missed Wei Yan, which was really pretentious. And Wei Yan is really fierce, but Jiang Wei is not bad, how did Shu Han perish in his heart?

If she hadn't surrendered to Deng Ai, Shu Han might still have hope. Let's talk about Wei Yan, Wei Yan's ability is indeed outstanding, which I also recognize very much, especially in the late Shu Han period, Wei Yan was completely the pillar of the Shu Han military aspect.

Wei Yan was originally a subordinate of Liu Zhang in Yizhou, because when Liu Bei first arrived in Yizhou, Liu Zhang asked him to follow Liu Bei to fight Cao Cao, Liu Bei discovered the talent of this young general, and Wei Yan also had a feeling of meeting Bole with a thousand miles of horses. So later Liu Zhang was defeated, and Wei Yan chose to take refuge in Liu Bei. Liu Bei attached great importance to Wei Yan, and at that time Zhuge Liang thought that Wei Yan had a backbone and might rebel in the future, so he asked Liu Bei not to reuse him, and Liu Bei chose to ignore Zhuge Liang's advice.

02, Wei Yan's life's achievements. After Wei Yan took refuge in Liu Bei, it didn't take long for him to establish some credit. When Liu Bei led the army to recruit Hanzhong, he took Wei Yan with him, which meant to make Wei Yan gilded, so that Wei Yan could make a contribution to Liu Bei and reuse him, and Wei Yan did not disappoint Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he unusually promoted Wei Yan to garrison Hanzhong. Wei Yan's garrison in Hanzhong is indeed relatively stable, and Cao Wei has not taken advantage of Hanzhong for more than ten years.

The most brilliant thing about the Northern Expedition was the Northern Expedition. At that time, the talents of Shu Han withered, and in addition to Zhao Yun, Wei Yan was a great use of military generals, and Zhao Yun was already sixty or seventy years old, so it is accurate to say that the Shu Han generals only had Wei Yan, the only seedling. Wei Yan first proposed the "Meridian Valley Strategy" in the Northern Expedition but was not adopted by Zhuge Liang, I personally feel that in fact, that strategy has a great chance of success, and then defeated Cao Wei Guohuai, and also assisted Zhuge Liang to win Sima Yi, and the main generals of the Northern Expedition are Wei Yan and Zhang He, and the two have come and gone.

It's a pity that after Zhuge Liang died, Wei Yan died because of the struggle for power with Yang Yi.

Wei Yan is brave and good at fighting, when Zhuge Liang went on the Northern Expedition, he was the vanguard, supervising the front, once the division returned to Chengdu, heard that the Wei army attacked the Qiang people in Liangzhou, Wei Yan only took a team of personal soldiers, infiltrated into the Qiang Department, commanded the Qiang people to break the Wei soldiers, and was named the general of the West for his merits.
