Why did Yan Yan, the old general of Shu Han, finally disappear?

Because Yan Yan is older, she doesn't care about it herself, and Liu Bei's vigilance and suppression are the reasons why Yan Yan's reputation is not obvious after surrender and eventually disappears.

Yan Yanchu was the prefect of Ba County, Liu Zhang, Yizhou and Zhenjiang (now Yuzhong District of Chongqing).

Old general Yan Yan

It happened when Zhang Fei attacked Ba County. At that time, the governor of Ba County was Yan Yan. This Yan Yan is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. He is not only strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, but also rich in combat experience. Although he is old, he is still full of energy. He knows that Zhang Fei is a valiant soldier, and there are more soldiers and horses than himself. It is obviously unfavorable to confront him head-on. Therefore, Yan Yan ordered to stick to the city and refused to fight.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Fei thought that his fist hit the cotton and there was no place to work hard. I am impatient all day, and people go to the gate to provoke and abuse every day, but Yan Yan can't persist in any insult. So Zhang Fei's designer pretended to attack from the path, so Yan Yan was careless. Yan Yan came to rob the village and was captured alive by Zhang Fei.

Although Yan Yan was defeated and captured, she refused to surrender anyway. Zhang Fei was very angry and ordered Yan Yan to be killed. At this point, Yan Yan still said with a straight face: "Thieves are just like ordinary people! Cut if you want, why are you angry? " Seeing such a true hero, Zhang Fei also had admiration in his heart. He untied Yan himself and made amends himself. Yan Yan also saw that Zhang Fei was an honest and frank person and was very moved, so he chose to surrender.

However, Yan Yan disappeared after surrendering to Shu Han, and his date of birth and death is not recorded in history. Does the old general Yan Yan choose to retire or hide in the snow?

In fact, Yan Yan once had a big battle with Zhang He in Tiandangshan. In this battle, Yan Yan also personally killed Xia Houyuan. Moreover, considering Yan Yan's age, Liu Bei is likely to change him from the army to logistics management as a behind-the-scenes contribution to Shu Han.
