刘备派遣黄忠、魏延等分统军队平定广汉郡,立下战功。214 年,魏延随刘备攻克益州重镇雒城,并与诸葛亮、张飞等人一起包围并占领了成都。镇守汉中扬威名。219 年,刘备在沔阳自称汉中王,定都于成都,主力回撤后必须留大将镇守汉中。

吴班赴拒,大破之,获甲首三千级,玄铠五十领,角弩三千一百张,宣王还保营。( 54 )从上所述,证实郭冲说的诸葛亮"杀张郃,却宣王"是可信的,只不过这两件事有先有后,不是"一战"取得的。至于《晋书》所载: " (宣)帝攻拔其围,亮弯道,追击破之,俘斩万计。

间三国"24 将"里排名第 20 位,武艺高强勿庸置疑,自从跟随刘备之后就一直忠心耿耿,是一名不可多得的将才。但最终谋反的结局令人意外,惨遭被杀也令人痛惜,《三国志·蜀书》和《资治通鉴》有其记载。此一回书评就来看看这魏延的故事。
