Meng Yan 孟琰

Meng Yan 孟琰 was Assistant General of the Chinese in the Nanzhong region.

Biography
Meng Yan is only mentioned in the 4th century works Hàn Jìn chūn qiū 漢晉春秋 by Xi Zaochi and chapter four of the Huáyáng guózhí 華陽國志 by Chang Qu. These works have been cited by Pei Songzhi for his extended version of the Sanguo zhi.

Meng Yan was from Zhuti 朱提. Though he originates from the same place and bears the same surname as Meng Huo 孟獲, it remains unclear if these two men were related, but it seems very likely.

In 225 AD Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong and made the worthy and competent men of the region officials. Meng Yan was made Assistant General of the Chinese (fǔhàn jiāngjūn 輔漢將軍).
