In the history without the "White Rabbit Effect", Wei Yan's status in the Shu Han Dynasty can be said to be second only to three of the Five Tiger Generals in the early stage. He is on par with Zhao Yun, or even slightly better. In name, he is not as good as Ma Chao, but Ma Chao
Basically idle...
Guarding "Hanzhong", the central plains of the Shu Han, its ability and trust are evident.
However, in the later period of Zhuge Liang's reign, Wei Yan disagreed with Zhuge Liang on the issue of the Northern Expedition. Not only did he end up dead, but he was further vilified in the novel.
The law is also unique...
According to the novel, when Zhuge Liang saw Wei Yan for the first time, he concluded that this person was untrustworthy because of the "rebellion in the back of his head" and urged Liu Bei to execute him.
Before his death, Zhuge Liang even plotted to kill Wei Yan with Ma Dai, Yang Yi and others...
But Bai Tu didn't think Zhuge Liang really disliked Wei Yan that much.
Logically speaking, Wei Yan's so-called differences during Zhuge Liang's lifetime were just disagreements on the route of dispatching troops, and they would not lead to a big feud. Moreover, with Zhuge Liang's authority after Liu Bei's death, he really did not trust Wei Yan, and it was not Wei Yan's turn to continue.
Guard Hanzhong.
On the contrary, in history, regarding Wei Yan's "rebellion" after Zhuge Liang's death, both the "Three Kingdoms" written by the Shu people and the "Wei Lue" written by the Wei people attributed Wei Yan's rebellion to the conflict between Wei Yan and Yang Yi.
Compared to Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan and Yang Yi are truly incompatible. Without Zhuge Liang, the two would have been at odds with each other long ago...
According to "Three Kingdoms", after Zhuge Liang's death, he handed over military power to Yang Yi, asked Yang Yi to withdraw his troops, and sent an order to Wei Yan to cut off the rear.
As a result, Wei Yan did not believe Yang Yi's order and said, "Isn't Zhuge Liang dead? I think I can continue the Northern Expedition." He directly burned Yang Yi's retreat, and competed with Yang Yi to write to Liu Chan, accusing the other party of rebellion.
In the end, Wei Yan was defeated and killed by Yang Yi.
The "Wei Lue" is more inclined to Wei Yan, believing that after Zhuge Liang's death, he intended to hand over military power to Wei Yan. However, Yang Yi was worried about his subsequent revenge, so he forged Zhuge Liang's orders to force Wei Yan to rebel.
Although there are different opinions, it is true that Wei Yan and Yang Yi were incompatible with each other. "Three Kingdoms" even records that Wei Yan drew his sword and angered Yang Yi many times. However, Zhuge Liang relied heavily on both of them and mediated their conflicts many times during his lifetime.
resentment.
However, Wei Yan finally became a rebel, and there is another biggest reason, that is, after Zhuge Liang died, the conflict between him and Yang Yi completely broke out, but... who gave you Wei Yan the courage to accuse each other of rebellion with Yang Yi? You
You don’t know what your popularity is?
It seems that after Liu Chan was dumbfounded in Chengdu, when he asked about Dong Yun and Jiang Wan, he must have been more interested in Yang Yi!
The two of them turned against each other on the front line directly after Zhuge Liang's death. Even if others knew in their hearts that the two were just enmity, they could only believe that one of them was causing trouble. At this time, Wei Yan was not only unpopular, but also lost...
Of course, in the novel, Wei Yan has another biggest problem - when Zhuge Liang arranged the seven-star array to extend his life, Wei Yan was anxious to report the military situation, ignored Yang Yi's obstruction, and forced his way into the commander's tent. As a result, the seven-star lamp was extinguished and broke.
Zhuge Liang's method of extending his life.
With the mystery of Cheng Ji's world and the world line that more closely follows the romance, this is not impossible!
If this kind of trouble was really caused, then before Zhuge Liang died, he told Ma Dai and Yang Yi to kill this kid if he dared to disobey... It would be logical!
After all, this guy's character is indeed unpleasant, and given the situation at that time, if Zhuge Liang hadn't suppressed him, Wei Yan's arrogance would have gone to heaven.
Fortunately, Wei Yan is still young now, and there are still many people who can suppress him, and... he is very malleable. After Bai Tu is ready, he will give Jia Xu to him - Jia Xu will never offend Wei Yan, but he can subtly influence him.
"Manipulating" Wei Yan.
I believe that in a few years, Wei Yan will be able to learn the virtue of "humility"!
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's military orders were indeed very effective. The area north of Jiangling, Dangyang, and Yicheng quickly surrendered to the general's government under the sweep of the original Jingzhou army led by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.
Occasionally there are people who are stubbornly resisting, but there is no need for the main force of the General's Mansion to move...
The Chinese army stationed in Bai Tu temporarily stayed in Jiangling, not only to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou, but also to wait for the imperial envoy!
In fact, not long after Ma Zhong left Jinling, Jian Yong had already arrived in Jinling as an envoy of the imperial court, but unexpectedly he came to nothing.
Lu Su and others also tried to delay it as much as possible. Anyway, Bai Tu was not in Jinling. No matter how Jian Yong talked about it, lotus flowers gushed from his mouth and golden springs gushed from the ground, nothing could be changed.
However, Jian Yong was not stupid. After seeing through the attitude of the general's staff, he immediately asked to rush to Jiangling to meet Bai Tu.
Along the way... Although he didn't attack him directly, he was still able to fight and banquet, and he was dragged until Yicheng was already lost. Only then did Jian Yong see Bai Tu in Jiangling!
Jian Yong, or the court's intention was very simple, that is, to stop Bai Tu from continuing to attack Xiangfan. Although Jian Yong asked the General's Mansion to withdraw from Jingzhou as soon as he opened his mouth, he also knew that it was impossible, so he just asked for a high price first.
That's all.
As for why Jian Yong has such confidence?
Bai Tu had actually known the news for a long time, and the imperial court had indeed been somewhat "reflecting on the past" recently.
After moving away from Xudu, he didn't even stop in Luoyang, but returned all the way to Guanzhong and Chang'an, the former capital of the Han Dynasty!
As for Li Jue and Guo Si, they have been killed by Ma Teng. Now they are in the name of Ma Teng, Han Sui, the Xiliang Army of the Yellow Turban Department in Guanzhong who had saved them before, or they brought hundreds of thousands of their own
Zhang Yan, the most popular "new kid in Guanzhong"... nominally supported the imperial court.
Although everyone knows that these people cannot really be of the same mind, judging from the current performance, the imperial court is escorted by the Xuzhou Army - the Xuzhou Army itself is considered an outsider in Guanzhong, and naturally for the imperial court, it is "quite respectable"
letter".
After Ma Teng claimed to be Ma Yuan, he also cooperated in rescuing the imperial court when Li Jue and Guo Si kidnapped Liu Xie, so he was considered "relatively credible".
Later, as the general of the Western Conquest, Zhang Yan actually submitted a detailed "Guanzhong Revitalization Plan", hoping to gradually restore Guanzhong's production and people's power based on the migrated Black Mountain people...
Guanzhong definitely has the foundation of water conservancy projects. If the various warlords can be suppressed and suppress their internal friction, this plan is actually very feasible!
It's just that Zhang Yan submitted the letter, which is indeed a bit surprising, even Bai Tu was shocked - is Zhang Yan the type of state minister who understands development? Is there something wrong with this style of painting?
It's a pity that even the news sent back by the Wind Guards was not specific enough to report even such "little things" as Zhang Yan "inviting" Sima Lao Er, otherwise Bai Tu should be able to guess something...
These made Jian Yong, although he could not be said to be tough when facing Bai Tu, finally straightened up a bit and was not as passive as before!
