When it comes to the history of the Three Kingdoms, we always think of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, who divided the Han Dynasty into three. Among the three, Cao Cao can be said to have the most historical allusions. Whether it is his remark that "I would rather bear the people of the world, Hugh calls the people of the world to bear me" or his story of "hoping for plums to quench thirst" is familiar to many people.
Just by looking at this story of "Hoping for Plums to Quench Thirst", you can know how difficult it is for Cao Wei to fight in this world. There were many people who fought the world with Cao Cao, but there was such a person who made great contributions to the establishment and development of Cao Wei, but he was said to be the destroyer of Cao Wei, and this person was Jiang Ji, a famous minister of Cao Wei who assisted the emperor of the Four Dynasties.

Jiang Ji had followed Cao Cao to fight the world as early as the Cao Cao period. To say that the beginning of Cao Wei, or to start from Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao can be said to be the founder of Cao Wei. At that time, Jiang Ji, who could fight the world with Cao Cao, needless to say, must have been very capable, whether it was a very talented person in terms of military or governing philosophy.
First of all, it is very capable militarily. I think that at the beginning, Cao Cao was seriously injured after fighting the Battle of Chibi, and was seized by Sun Quan to sneak into the Hefei area, but Cao Cao did not have the troops to support Hefei, and just when Cao Cao was ready to resign himself to fate, he did not expect that Jiang Ji, who was inconspicuous at the time, saved the situation.
Jiang Ji lied about the strength of the troops, and the strength of three thousand troops was said to be 40,000, which frightened Sun Quan to directly abandon Hefei and leave, saving Hefei. It was also this battle that allowed Cao Cao to see Jiang Ji's ability, and Jiang Ji also began his own way of becoming an official. Of course, in addition to this battle, there was another thing that really made Cao Cao begin to entrust Jiang Ji with heavy responsibilities.
In order to protect the people, Cao Cao wanted to move the people of Huainan inland, and he felt that at the time of the Battle of Guandu, no one objected to the migration of the people, and no one would oppose it at this time. Jiang Ji advised him that at that time, migration was a last resort, but now that the national strength is strong, there is really no need to move the people inwards.
However, Cao Cao did not listen to Jiang Ji's words, and sure enough, something happened, and the people not only did not want to, but also ran to the territory of Eastern Wu. This not only did not prevent Eastern Wu, but drove the people to Eastern Wu, which can be described as a thankless effort. After this incident, Cao Cao really thought that Jiang Ji was a man with great ability, and since then he has trusted him more.
After Cao Cao, Jiang Ji also continued to follow Cao Pi, Cao Rui and Cao Fang as three emperors, and also made a lot of merit. Unexpectedly, the destruction was destroyed on Cao Rui's trust, and Cao Rui entrusted his adopted son Cao Fang to Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, which eventually led to the destruction of Jiang Ji's reputation as a famous cao Wei courtier.

At the beginning, it was mentioned that Cao Wei's Jiangshan was destroyed at the hands of Jiang Ji, and then let's see why Cao Wei's Jiangshan was destroyed by his hands. Jiang Ji has gone through four dynasties, and can be said to be a generation of famous courtiers of Cao Wei, who at the beginning made great contributions to the world with Cao Cao. Such a person should have been passed down through the ages, but he destroyed Cao Wei's Jiangshan, so when he is mentioned, he knows that Cao Wei's Jiangshan was destroyed because of him.
In addition to this, Jiang Ji also has a strange anecdote that has also been written into the history book, this history book is still Cao Pi's "Biography of Lieyi", I don't know whether Cao Pi heard this interesting story and compiled it into it, or whether the protagonist of this story", "Jiang Ji", does not refer to the great general Jiang Ji mentioned here. But it's an interesting story.
Since ancient times, people have believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and even in modern times, there are ghost festivals like the Zhongyuan Festival. Therefore, in ancient times, there must be literary works related to the theory of ghosts and gods. Such a literary work is a reproduction of the traditional view of the underworld, and Jiang Ji's article is a reproduction of the traditional view of the underworld with the belief in Taishan's ghost as the core.
One night, Jiang Ji's wife was in her sleep, dreaming that her dead son said that he was living very badly, that he could only be a small slave in Taishan, much more difficult than his life in the Yang World, and hoped that they could go to the Taimiao Temple to find a person named Sun A, who was the county commander who Was about to take office in Taishan, and hoped that they could help themselves to ask for this Sun Ah and change a good position for themselves.
The next morning, Jiang Ji was woken up by his wife, who recounted the dream to Jiang Ji, hoping that Jiang Ji could go and find this person, maybe it was true. Jiang Ji did not go, he felt that his wife missed her son too much to have this dream, and there was no credibility.
But I didn't expect that the next night, my wife dreamed that her son said that Sun A was going to be a county order soon, and that he had come to pick up Sun A, so that his father would believe him and ask for Sun A. The next day his wife told Jiang Ji again, Jiang Ji thought that his wife had dreamed for two consecutive nights, if he didn't inquire, the fake one was no big deal, it was really better, and he also helped his son.
Such an inquiry, there is really this person. Jiang Ji hurriedly told his son's appeal to this man named Sun A. Unexpectedly, this person did not pay attention to the problem that he was about to die, and he also responded to Jiang Ji's request, not knowing whether this Sun A already knew that he was about to die. Jiang Ji, who had completed his son's appeal, went home with confidence, and not long after returning, he received the news of Sun A's death.
Jiang Ji completely believed in his son's dream. Later, the son gave Jiang Ji's wife a dream, saying that he had been given a good position, and Jiang Ji was worried that he almost ruined his son's future.

The above mention of Cao Rui is an improper orphan, why is this? This was mainly because he entrusted Cao Fang to Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, and Jiang Ji was also the person he thought could help Cao Fang. However, he did not consider that people's hearts would change, and Cao Shuang was not necessarily as loyal as his father.
Cao Shuang was already a great general at the time of Cao Rui's death, with heavy troops in his hands. His father Cao Zhen was adopted by Cao Cao and changed his surname to Cao, and before his death, he was also an official to Sima Da, so the father and son had always been deeply trusted by the Cao family, but they did not expect that Cao Shuang would rule and chaos, laying a time bomb for Cao Wei.
Sima Yi, who was entrusted with Cao Shuang, had been ostracized by Cao Shuang, and coupled with Cao Shuang's heavy army, Sima Yi had been suppressed and unable to resist. Even Jiang Ji couldn't see it, because Cao Shuang was not only suppressing Sima Yi, but also destroying Cao Wei's foundation. Therefore, Jiang Ji joined forces with Sima Yi and others to rebel against Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang was indeed suppressed.
Jiang Ji said to Cao Shuang, "We just want your rights, not kill you." Unexpectedly, Sima Yi directly killed Cao Shuang. This also made Jiang Ji very remorseful, and even the rewards and official positions sent by Sima Yi and others were rejected, and he died not long after.
After Cao Shuang was killed, Cao Wei collapsed, and his power gradually shifted to the Sima family, and soon Cao Wei perished. From this, it can be seen that in fact, Jiang Ji's original intention was good, but he did not expect that Sima Yi did not keep his promises, which not only made Jiang Ji blame himself for not fulfilling his promise to Cao Shuang, but also let him carry the pot of destruction of Cao Wei.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" >4</h1>
History says that Jiang Ji was the one who destroyed Cao Wei, but at this point of view, is it really cao Wei who died? The reason is still in Cao Shuang's body, if it were not for Cao Shuang's chaotic government, how could Sima Yi and others unite with Jiang Ji to provoke a war, you must know that Sima Yi and Jiang Ji had already fought for Cao Wei when Cao Cao was still alive, and how could they want to rebel at this time after following the emperors of the Four Dynasties.
Looking at Jiang Ji again, will this be a rebel? As mentioned above, Jiang Ji had promised not to kill Cao Shuang, but he did not expect that Sima Yi would still kill Cao Shuang, and Sima Yi might have his own considerations, fearing that Cao Shuang would rise again. But Jiang Ji still blamed himself for not fulfilling his promise and refusing to accept the reward as a victor, how could such a person rebel.
