Mi Han

Chapter 252 Knowing People and Employing People to Train Wei Yan
In September of the first year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty, Wei Yan led his own army and traveled down to the outside of Wudang County.

When he learned that Mi Yang was going to transfer him that day, Wei Yan felt a lot of resentment in his heart.

When he met Mi Yang for the first time, Mi Yang was just a partial general, his official position was far below him.

But he didn't expect that before the time passed, Mi Yang would completely become his immediate boss because of the Battle of West City.

When Mi Yang was a partial general, Wei Yan would also have a kind of elder-like appreciation for Mi Yang's public security battle because of his status as an elder.

But now when Mi Yang, who is a junior, climbed on his head, even though Wei Yan knew in his heart that Mi Yang's current status depended on his strength, but he still felt resentful.

Most of the reason for this dissatisfaction comes from Wei Yan's very selfish personality.

But in addition, there is actually another reason.

Without being angry, he can easily get everything he can't ask for!
At the beginning, he gained Liu Bei's appreciation by offering Ziwu's strange plan, and thus became the governor of Hanzhong from General Yiyamen. This incident caused great shock to the whole army.

Needless to say, the status of the governor of Hanzhong, but Wei Yan's previous qualifications, military exploits, and prestige are not qualified to be the governor of a town, so his promotion will cause great controversy.

To put it bluntly, everyone disapproved of him.

Although later because of his rhetoric, the public opinion in the army was temporarily suppressed, but everyone looked at Liu Bei's authority.

In the hearts of the generals, Wei Yan is still unworthy of merit.

It is precisely because he does not have enough military exploits to match his status, so when Fa Miao arrived in Hanzhong with Liu Bei Wang Ling, even though he managed the army well, his military power was quickly taken away.

It is precisely because of this that when Wei Yan, who made the generals unconvinced, showed disrespect to Mi Yang, it aroused the collective dissatisfaction of the generals.

To put it more bluntly, when Wei Yangong is not worthy, everyone only regards him as a "lucky minister".

Because of everyone's impression, coupled with Wei Yan's very bad personality, he fell to the point where he is resisted by the generals in Hanzhong.

In troubled times, everything speaks with military exploits.

Just like Mi Yang, Mi Yang is lower than Wei Yan in terms of seniority.

In terms of age, Mi Yang is the junior of all the veterans.

As for the relationship with Liu Bei, Mi Yangcai is more like a lucky minister.

But because of his repeated military exploits, it is convincing that he has achieved such a high status.

It was only after learning about Mi Yang's meritorious service that Wei Yan felt even worse.

Mi Yang's experience at the beginning was too similar to his.

At the beginning, Mi Yang was valued by Guan Yu because of his suggestions, so he was given the important task of guarding the police.

Isn't the relationship between Public Security and Jingzhou at that time the same as the relationship between Hanzhong and Yizhou today?
But it is a pity that Mi Yang became famous by stationing the police, thus making Mi Lang's name known to the world.

But since Wei Yan was stationed in Hanzhong, he has never been given the opportunity to show his talents, which has made him questioned whether his meritorious service is not worthy.

This kind of doubt can even spread to Jianye thousands of miles away, which shows how deeply the generals doubted Wei Yan in their hearts.

Although Wei Yan has an aloof personality, his IQ is not low. He is not unaware of the doubts that have been circulated in the hearts of the generals.

It was because he knew that, that's why he wanted Mi Yang to support his plot in Ziwu Valley, so that he would have a chance to make meritorious deeds.

But it's a pity that Wei Yan didn't wait for the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but waited for Mi Yang, who had the same starting point as him, to make meritorious deeds step by step, and finally completely surpassed him.

What Mi Yang has now is exactly what he has always dreamed of.

In Wei Yan's heart, the reason why Mi Yang can achieve his current achievements is not only his own talent, but also because he has more luck than himself.

As long as there is Mi Yang, there will be enemies. This kind of luck is something he doesn't have.

Mi Yang's existence is like a mirror, and his every step of the way seems to be reflecting his various unsatisfactory situations.

Now Mi Yang transferred him away from Hanzhong, which he regarded as a place of meritorious service, which made Wei Yan's resentment towards Mi Yang even deeper.

With complicated emotions in mind, Wei Yan came to meet Mi Yang in the military camp outside Wudang City with a gloomy face.

As early as when Wei Yan was about to arrive outside Wudang City, Mi Yang knew his whereabouts through spies.

Because Mi Yang wanted Wei Yan to stay in the barracks, he sent someone to send an order in advance that Wei Yan would not enter the city, and he would meet him in the barracks.

When Wei Yan led more than a thousand relatives into the barracks, the officer who had been waiting at the gate of the barracks had checked Wei Yan's identity, and then led Wei Yan towards Mi Yang's main tent.

On the way to Mi Yang's main tent, Wei Yan carefully observed the layout of the camp.

It's not that he has any unruly intentions, it's just that this is a habit he has developed over the years in the army.

Under observation, Wei Yan found that although there were not many people in the Han army's camp, the layout of the camps was orderly, and the offense and defense were well prepared. It can be said that there were no omissions.

This made Wei Yan nod secretly.

Although Wei Yan was unhappy with Mi Yang, he had no doubts about Mi Yang's ability.

After all, the iron-like military achievements are there, and Wei Yan is not a person who cannot accept reality.

Under the leadership of the officer, Wei Yan soon came to Mi Yang's main tent.

When Wei Yan entered Mi Yang's main tent, he saw Mi Yang sitting on the main seat at a glance, and the scepter held by a young general beside him.

That scepter was given to Mi Yang by Liu Bei as a token of the right to life and death during wartime.

After seeing the scepter, Wei Yan's eyes froze, and then he looked at the generals present with a scrutinizing gaze.

He found that among the generals present, there were many familiar faces, and he thought they were all generals of Mi Yang's direct line.

But compared to most unfamiliar faces, Wei Yan still saw some familiar faces.

For example Feng Xi.

The time when Feng Xi defected to Liu Bei was not far behind him, but before he became the governor of Hanzhong, Feng Xi's military exploits were still faintly above him.

It's just that even if he saw an old acquaintance, Wei Yan pretended not to see him. He came to Mi Yang with a dark face and bowed to him:

"I will pay my respects to General Zuo."

In front of Mi Yang, Wei Yan restrained his arrogance, after all, Emperor Fu Jie was by Mi Yang's side.

Seeing that Wei Yan didn't look like his eyes were above the top of his head, a smile appeared on the corner of Mi Yang's mouth.

Yesterday, Fa Miao's memorial arrived in Mi Yang's hands first. From Fa Miao's memorial, Mi Yang learned about Wei Yan's behavior after receiving his military order that day.

The reason why Fa Miao truthfully informed Mi Yang of Wei Yan's performance in the report was because he wanted to give Mi Yang a vaccination.

In Fa Miao's words, there are signs of speaking well for Wei Yan.

He told Mi Yang that Wei Yan is a talented person, but his personality is too arrogant, so he hopes that Mi Yang can be more tolerant to Wei Yan.

This is also thanks to Fa Miao, who has a milder personality. If Fazheng Shi Wei Yan dared to do that in front of him, he might have been escorted back to Chengdu by Fazheng to punish him.

Because of Fa Miao's advance notice, when Mi Yang received Wei Yan today, he specially took out the scepter bestowed by Liu Bei.

Now it seems that the scepter is still useful.

It's just that although Wei Yan paid respects to Mi Yang, everyone present could see the gloomy reluctance on his face.

Facing Wei Yan's visit, Mi Yang didn't react for a while.

And because Mi Yang didn't respond to Wei Yan's visit, Wei Yan could only keep leaning over.

If Mi Yang didn't let Wei Yan get up for a while, Wei Yan could still understand.

But as time passed, Mi Yang hadn't let Wei Yan get up, and the dissatisfaction on Wei Yan's face became stronger.

Wei Yan thought that Mi Yang was deliberately suppressing him.

Originally, he was suddenly transferred to Wudang by Mi Yang, so he was very angry.

In his opinion, Cao Zhen in Guanzhong was about to invade Hanzhong. At this time, Mi Yang suddenly transferred him away from Hanzhong, obviously aiming at him deliberately.

Now Mi Yang is embarrassing him in public again, how can Wei Yan, who has a rough personality, bear it.

But when Wei Yan was about to explode, Mi Yang's words came suddenly.

"Wen Chang thinks Cao Zhen will send troops to attack Hanzhong this time?"

Wei Yan is a general who loves military affairs. He was about to have a fit, but when he heard Mi Yang ask him about Hanzhong's defense, he immediately suppressed his dissatisfaction.

"Now is the time when Guanzhong is growing wheat. Although Cao Zhen has a military strategy, the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first."

"Besides, it is the rainy season in Hanzhong. Since autumn, Hanzhong has been rainy and rainy. Most of the four roads in Guanzhong are muddy and difficult to walk."

"At this moment, even if Cao Zhen has the heart to attack the invaders, he fears that his troops will be no more than [-]."

Hearing what Wei Yan said, Mi Yang was noncommittal, and he continued to ask Wei Yan: "Then according to Wen Chang's opinion, how is my Hanzhong defense?"

Faced with Mi Yang's question, Wei Yan thought about it and said: "General Zuo's defense arrangement is mostly based on the terrain in Hanzhong, and our army is defending according to the danger.

If Cao Zhen led a small force, our army would be sufficient to defend Hanzhong without any worries. "

Although Wei Yan left without listening to Mi Yang's defense arrangement that day, he, who was worried about Hanzhong's defense afterwards, learned about Mi Yang's specific arrangement from other people.

From Wei Yan's point of view, Mi Yang's arrangement is very appropriate, and with an experienced veteran like Wu Yi stationed there, there is no need to worry too much about Hanzhong's safety.

After Wei Yan answered two questions in a row, Mi Yang finally asked Wei Yan:

"The text chief thinks, if our army can repel the Luoyang army led by Cao Pi himself, which merit is greater compared to repelling Cao Zhen's troops who don't have much strength?"

Hearing what Mi Yang said, Wei Yan raised his head and looked at Mi Yang eagerly.

Is this still a comparison?

After Mi Yang found out that Cao Pi might lead the army to come, in order not to cause turmoil in the hearts of the people, he did not spread the news widely.

Wei Yan, who lost his military power in Hanzhong, of course didn't know about it.

Now after he knew this, the desire to make meritorious deeds immediately filled his heart.

At this time, Wei Yan's dissatisfaction with Mi Yang disappeared without a trace under his eagerness to make contributions.

As long as he can make meritorious deeds to wash away his doubts and make him proud, then why not obey Mi Yang's orders?
What Wei Yan didn't know at this time was that under Mi Yang's step-by-step temptation, his mentality towards Mi Yang was also quietly changing.

Just now he was still thinking about resisting Mi Yang.

Mi Yang stopped talking when he saw Wei Yan looking at him eagerly.

He neither talked about the specific plan nor revealed further information about Cao Pi's army. He just used Wei Yan's exhaustion as an excuse to let Wei Yanhao give birth and rest.

But at this moment, Wei Yan didn't have the heart to rest.

In the past, he had received too many doubts, which made him, who had an aloof personality, suffocate in his heart.

Now seeing an opportunity to wash away the doubts about him, how could he let it go so easily!
Wei Yan hurriedly took a few steps towards Mi Yang's place, but before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Mi Yang's personal guard drawing a knife.

Wei Yan is impulsive again.

Wei Yan looked at Mi Yang who was sitting on the chief seat, and saw that he didn't say anything.

At this time, even though he was extremely anxious, he could only reluctantly retreat in the end.

After all, Mi Yang is his chief general, and now that Mi Yang has given him hope, he has to listen to Mi Yang.

After Wei Yan left, Mi Yang waved all the generals in the big tent to go down first.

After everyone left, Mi Yang took out the "Records of Zhengmou" that Fazheng had left him, and he opened the chapter on knowing people.

The first sentence in this chapter is: the law of the general, and the heart of the hero.However, it is not easy to know people, and it is not easy to know people. .
In this chapter, Fazheng explained in detail what the first priority of a general is, and that is to know how to employ people.

Only by knowing people can we employ people.

Only by using people can people give full play to their talents, so as to gather the strength of all people and make the army invincible.

However, Fazheng also points out in this chapter that knowing people is not easy.

Because people are unpredictable.

It's just that this is not easy for ordinary people, but for Mi Yang, a traveler, sometimes it is very easy.

Because he recorded in his mind the life experiences, evaluations,

Of course, people will change, and it is easy for people to hide their true self.

Therefore, Mi Yang will not arbitrarily judge a person's heart in a specific period of time based on his life.

So he also used what Fazheng taught just now, "Scrutinize and ask him to see his speech; lure him to benefit and see his color." This method is used to judge Wei Yan's current thoughts.

With speculation in his heart and the judgment just now, Mi Yang roughly knew what Wei Yan was thinking now.

That is to be thirsty for merit.

As long as you know what a person wants in your heart, you can better control him.

Wei Yan's character has been finalized, even Liu Bei can't change Wei Yan's character.

But Wei Yan is talented.

For such a talented person, it would be a pity to abandon him just because of his character.

So in order to make good use of Wei Yan's sharp blade, Mi Yang must first learn to control him.

If you think that Mi Yang transferred Wei Yan to Wudang just because he was afraid of Wei Yan's character, then you would be underestimating him.

Mi Yang's goal now is the entire north.

Therefore, he must gather all the forces he can muster. If not, how will he overthrow the prosperous north in the future.

This is the current situation that he should be in with his identity.

As for why Mi Yang suddenly stopped talking after arousing Wei Yan's desire to fight, it was because Wei Yan's character could not be changed, but it needed to be polished.

Give him hope but don't tell him the next move. With Wei Yan's character of eagerness for success, he will definitely redouble his subjective initiative in the future.

As long as Wei Yan does this, he will automatically assume the identity of Mi Yang's subordinate invisibly and advise him.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, once Wei Yan has the first time, under the influence of time, Wei Yan will slowly accept this reality.

As long as Wei Yan's longing for meritorious service is so deep, how quickly he can take over the status of Mi Yang's subordinate.

Then Mi Yang picked up the information he had just received from the table case, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Pi Goose is here.
