Yang Yi didn't do exactly what Zhuge Liang told her. He asked Fei to test Wei Yan's attitude first. Wei Yan, of course, disagreed, so he wanted to cooperate with Fei Yi to deploy the next specific matters. Knowing that he wouldn't change his mind, Fei _ made an excuse to discuss with Yang Yi and ran back to the camp. At that time, Wei Yan reflected that his intestines were remorseful, and he was anxious to send someone to inquire about Yang Yi and others, knowing that they would act according to the arrangement of Mr. Kongming before his death. In great anger, he led his troops south and burned the pavilion road built on the mountain on the way.
Yang Yi and his party followed closely, catching up with Wei Yan's army. It never rains but it pours. He said that the Prime Minister's bones were cold and he began to follow Wei Yan's rebellion. Hearing this, his subordinates immediately felt ashamed and ran away. Wei Yan was forced to flee with his son and cronies, and was finally captured and killed by Yang Yi's men.
Yang Yi ranks below Jiang Wan.
Theoretically speaking, Yang Yi has made great contributions to Shu, and with this, he can completely replace Zhuge Liang as prime minister. Unexpectedly, Liu Chan finally gave him a position as a military adviser, neither a prime minister nor an army of his own. The position of prime minister was given to Jiang Wan, who was inferior to him in all aspects. Yang Yi is really narrow-minded, and there is no room for a grain of sand in his heart. This may be a good thing. Even when he is angry, he puts on a bad face all day and tells everyone his dissatisfaction. In this way, few people around him dare to approach him.
At that time, Fei made friends with him and went to see him specially, but he said bluntly that if he had been with Wei Yan, there would not be such a bleak scene today. Hearing this, Faye obviously had a rebellious idea, which was exposed in private. Finally, Yang Yi was exiled. Even so, this guy continued to write letters to express his dissatisfaction and the unfairness of the court. He was finally arrested by the court and finally committed suicide.
Yang Fei is the prime minister of Kongming.
In fact, Yang Yi should have been enlightened long ago. Since Zhuge Liang didn't give him any position at that time, but let him lead the way, he was definitely not the prime minister in Zhuge Liang's mind. Moreover, he not only made great contributions to the Wei Yan incident. Fundamentally speaking, Wei Yan's troops were wiped out in the end, which was his responsibility. At that time, Zhuge Liang asked them to send someone to convey the orders of the Prime Minister, instead of simply sounding out. Finally, Wei Yan had the idea of continuing to fight.
Yang Yi's hesitation gave Wei a chance. People run in front and he rushes behind, which also goes against Zhuge Liang's original intention. Although Zhuge Liang obviously favored Yang Yi between Wei Yan and Yang Yi, he did not give Yang Yi the power of the army, which also shows that Zhuge Liang has many concerns about Yang Yi. First, their thinking and decision-making are different. Zhuge Liang believes that the long-term strategy of the Northern Expedition should be slow and steady, while Wei Yan's thought is to win the battle in one breath. So if Yang Yi were allowed to decide the problems of Wei at that time, he would definitely choose the same way as Wei Yan.
The Root of Yang Yi's Failure
What's more, along the way, Zhuge Liang affirmed Yang Yi's talent, but he was narrow-minded. Wei Yan, on the other hand, played well against his opponent, but his heart was high, and everyone around him asked him to score three points. Of course, Yang Yike didn't give in to Yang Yi at all. In the middle, Faye has always maintained the role of peacemaker. Once you find that two people's eyebrows are wrong, immediately reconcile them in the middle. This is also one of the reasons why Fei _ later became prime minister. After all, this is the prime minister who can punt in his stomach!
So the root of Yang Yi's failure is here. He can't tolerate others disagreeing with him and disobeying the instructions of his superiors. Although his ability and talent are worthy of recognition, Zhuge Liang has long predicted that if he becomes prime minister, people around him who disagree with him will definitely suffer. Especially in the face of Wei Yan, he not only failed to take into account that the failure of his communication led to the disintegration of the army, but was proud of himself and complained about his situation everywhere. This also determines that his final outcome will definitely not be so optimistic.
