If you’ve seen the Three Kingdoms, you know that it was an extremely chaotic era, although there were many heroes in this era, it was also a forced time, forcing people to be elite. Those who are able, have wisdom and talent all choose to rely on an ally to protect themselves, some generals with wisdom and courage also hope to meet their own ally, the soldiers themselves. Owners and vassals also want to keep a part of their own land, so they are constantly recruiting outstanding talents in all aspects.
In this age, once a certain advisor or general is respected by the monarch, they will all be loyal to that monarch, even if they die, they will not betray. But, not all the princes can sacrifice their lives for their master or gain the master’s recognition. They have people who are suspected, even by their colleagues, who find a reason to harm them.
Speaking of this, it is impossible not to mention Wei Yan, he was previously an underling under Liu Biao, later when the war broke out, Wei Yan killed a general and then joined Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei trusted Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang did not let him in, thinking that Wei Yan was not a loyal person, even somewhat repulsive to Wei Yan. However, at that time, Liu Bei was very respectful of Wei Yan. Later, in a battle, Wei Yan earned merit, so that his position was enhanced, becoming a general.
