After the Tang Dynasty quelled the Anshi Rebellion, on the one hand, it rewarded the counter-rebel generals for their meritorious deeds, and on the other hand, they encircled the feudal towns that An Shi had entrenched, and specially set up martial temples and sacrifices
Seventy-five ancient generals
In this way, it praises the loyalty of the warrior generals and highlights the importance that the imperial court attaches to the warriors, so as to maintain the rule of the dynasty.
Final list: Lü Shang (Jiang Taigong) as the martial saint, Zhang Liang as the sub-saint. Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sima Rang Tho, Le Yi, Zhuge Liang, Han Xin, Bai Qi, Li Jing, Li Ji and nine others, together with Zhang Liang, called the "
Wumiao Ten Zhe
】。
In addition, a number of famous generals, a total of sixty-four people, were also selected for the Martial Temple, that is, the so-called "
Sixty-four generals of the Wu Temple
Among the many famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, the Cao Wei regime was selected as two: Zhang Liao and Deng Ai. The Eastern Wu regime was elected to four names: Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lü Meng, and Lu Kang. The Shu Han regime was elected by two people: Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Then, as the most important general in the late Shu Han Dynasty, he fought against Deng Ai, Chen Tai, Guo Huai and other famous Cao Wei generals for many years
Jiang Wei
Why did you fail to choose the Wu Temple? Is he qualified to enter the list of the first-class stars in history?
In fact, the three divisions of the world under Wei Shu Wu are only one-sided understanding, and the Cao Wei regime in the north has two of the three worlds, the ten worlds have its seven, the two Han and thirteen states have its nine states, Wu de three states, and Shu de one state, which is the historical truth.
Therefore, the Commanders of the Shu Han Dynasty, such as Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei, were all uncompromising."
Ichishu Anti-Kyushu
", the military career record content is naturally very high.
In the pen of the Wei and Jin historians, they could personally admit that the losses were heavy (more than 10,000 or even tens of thousands), the consequences were serious, and the situation was critical, and the great victory of the southern army against the northern army at the end of the Han Dynasty was only six battles:
Battle of Zhou Yu Chibi
Annihilated tens of thousands of Jingzhou sailors, Cao Cao burned himself and defeated the remaining ships, the soldiers starved and caused plague, most of them were killed and wounded, and even so, they still had a hard mouth."
In the value of illness, the lone burning boat went by itself, and Zhou Yu was given this false name
」。
Battle of Guan Yu Xiangfan
After flooding the Seventh Army, annihilating 30,000 troops and crippling tens of thousands of Cao Ren's troops, Cao Wei was forced to recognize Sun Wu's division and ally with it, and mobilized various corps on the southern front to collective reinforcements.
The Battle of Lu Xun Stone Pavilion
He annihilated Cao Xiu's troops and missed the opportunity to expand their achievements because of their over-caution; thereafter, the Wei army did not launch a large-scale attack on Eastern Wu for decades.
Battle of Jiang Wei Taoxi
Annihilated tens of thousands of Chen Tai and Wang Jingjun, and beat the Wei state of Yongliang to the wind and "destroyed a state" in the Yongliang region.
Battle of Zhuge Ke Dongguan
Tens of thousands of beheadings broke the eastern defensive zone of the State of Wei, and Sima Zhao, the second consul of the State of Wei, was forced to demote himself.
The Battle of Xiling
Annihilated tens of thousands of Jin troops under the command of Yang Hu and tens of thousands of rebels.
Other than that, even
The Battle of Zhuge Liangcheng
Sima Yi and Zhang Guo, "three thousand ranks of armor, five thousand collars of Xuan armor, and three thousand and one hundred crossbows", allowed Sima Yi to carry the name of "fearing Shu like a tiger" from then on, insisting on not fighting, all of which were hidden by Chen Shou in the biography of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Therefore, the battle of Jiang Weitaoxi can even be said to be
After the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, the biggest tactical victory over the Wei army's previous Northern Expeditions,
In addition, he defeated the Wei general Guo Huai at the Battle of Longxi, beheaded the Wei general Xu Qian at the Battle of Xiangwu, and captured the Wei general Guo Xun at the Battle of Xiping...
Although Jiang Wei was later defeated by Wei at the Battle of Duangu and the Battle of Taoyang
Deng Ai
Defeated, and finally powerless to prevent the demise of the Shu Han of the national small army, it is still a heroic masterpiece,
In terms of personal ability and military achievements, he is worthy of one of the most outstanding famous generals in the Three Kingdoms era.
However, the Tang Dynasty Wumiao Temple is the "Wang Zuo Wuchen List", not the "Famous Generals List" that many people subconsciously think, and it is not at all based on military achievements or military talents as a priority.
For example, all the famous generals who established themselves as emperors, as monarchs, or who were posthumously named emperors by posterity were not selected for the Wu Temple, including Liu Yu, Tuoba Tao, Murong Chui, and so on, even Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, was no exception, otherwise wouldn't it encourage those wolf-like feudal towns to follow suit?
Therefore, looking at the list of "Ten Philosophies of the Martial Temple", it is actually connected
Wei Qing
and
Hodge disease
None of them, but there were only strategists and strategists themselves, and when they led the troops alone, they were beaten by the nameless Qin generals who could not defend the city and could only fight guerrillas
Zhang liang
。
[With (Zhang) Liang as Han Shen's disciple, he and the King of Han sent more than a thousand people to the west of Han and several cities, and Qin Yuan retook them, and traveled to and from the Yingchuan River. 】
And also
Sima Hoang Tho
This kind of general who had never fought at all, because of the allusion of "a soldier who surrendered without fighting", and a military book "Sima Fa", also became the "Ten Zhe of the Martial Temple", which was able to stand side by side with Han Xin and Bai Qi.
Take another look
Sun Wu
: Together with Wu Zixu, he was defeated by the Qin-Chu coalition forces at the Battle of Huaili and the "Battle of Cinnamon", and abandoned the corpse and fled.
Le Yi
: The five-nation alliance army sent troops together to defeat the State of Qi, fight alone, and for several years could not take the two cities, but instead married the State of Qin and was busy in vain.
Lee Ji
: The Battle of Liyang was completely destroyed by Dou Jiande; the Battle of Huanzhou was fought by Liu Heimin only to be spared.
However, Wei Qing and Huo Qiyi, who were undefeated all their lives and made unprecedented pioneering achievements for the Chinese nation against the nomads, did not enter the "Ten Philosophies of the Martial Temple", and these people were selected for reasons such as their military ideas, strategic vision, and writings on the art of war.
Wei Qing: Changping Huanhuan, Admiral Zhiyuan, Bo Fa Yan Yun, Hui I Shuo Bian, Rong Che Seven Marches, Chong Xuan Idle, HeWei Shan Yu, Bei Deng Khotan Yan.
Huo went to the disease: Hun Riding Champion, Fierce Courage, Long Drive Six Moves, Electric Shock Thunder Shock, Drinking Ma HanHai, Feng Wolf Ju Mountain, Xigui Dahe, Liejun Qilian.
Therefore, if the Ten Zhe and Seventy-Two Generals of the Martial Temple can actually represent the highest military standards of ancient generals, and prove that the military achievements and command ability of each of the selected people are stronger than those famous generals who have not been selected, is it not a big joke?
In fact, Wei Qinghuo's illness was not the Ten Philosophers of the Martial Temple, which only proved that during the Tang and Song Dynasties, the official respected Zhang Liangleyi and Sima Rang Tho, and nothing more.
In the same way, Deng Ai was able to enter the Wu Temple, but Jiang Wei did not enter, which also only proves that during the Tang and Song Dynasties, the official respected Deng Ai more than Jiang Wei, and that's it.
whereas
The reason why Jiang Wei is not respected is also very simple:
After the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei wanted to carry out a false plan to surrender and rebel, first surrendering to Cao Wei, then inducing Zhong Hui to rebel, slaughtering the Generals of the Wei Army, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to restore the country.
Unfortunately, according to the ancient concept of kings and subjects, Liu Chan surrendered and shu Han had been destroyed, and Jiang Wei, who was originally a general of the Wei state, did not accept Liu Chan's orders, but made up his own mind to carry out this strange plot, which was not a move for the country with a pure heart, but
Repeatedly for people
。 Moreover, in the end, it also failed, which triggered the Wei army to retaliate on a large scale and slaughter the "Chengdu Military Rebellion" of the old ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty. Guan Yu's descendants and Prince Liu Chan were unfortunately killed.
Therefore, Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a very unbearable evaluation of Jiang Wei: "Rough and martial arts, determined to make a name for himself, and playing with the multitude of travelers, the ming is not careful, and eventually he will die."
Pei Songzhi's note quotes Sun Sheng's "Jinyang Qiu" as attacking Jiang Wei even more:
[Not trapped and trapped in the name will be humiliated, not based on the body will be in danger, both humiliated and dangerous, death is coming, its Jiang Wei is said! Deng Aizhi entered the river, there were very few soldiers, Wei Jin could not fight under the bamboo, could not retreat to the commander-in-chief of the five generals, supported the Lord of Shu, and thought about the plan of the future, but repeatedly in the midst of rebellion, hoping to violate the meeting of difficult hopes, with a weakened country, and repeatedly watched the army in the Three Qins, the state that had been destroyed, and the miracle of the outside world, not also Min Zhao! 】
[Jiang Weice is named Wei Room, and when he goes out to the Shu Dynasty, he violates the favor of the king, and cannot be said to be loyal; he cannot be said to be filial; he cannot be said to be filial piety; he cannot be said to be righteous; he is not dead and difficult to defeat; he is not able to die, and he is tired of the people; he is in charge of the imperial insult and causes the enemy to lose his defense, Yu Fu Zhiyong, Mo Keyun also: The six of the Vance, Wei has no one.] There are really Wei's vassals, the chaos of the subjugation of the country, and the appearance of the Cloud People, Si is also confused. 】
In addition to Pei Songzhi, whose emotional stance has always been biased towards shu Han, he defended Jiang Wei (also known as "his"
Tianshui a horseman, Yu Wei He damaged
The praise of Jiang Wei basically appeared one after another after the Southern Song Dynasty, where the "Emperor Shu Kou Wei" ideology prevailed.
However, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties when Shu Han had become the party of absolute justice, the praise for Jiang Wei was not much, far from being comparable to Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu.
Even his official position and influence before his death were far inferior to Jiang Wei's
Zhao Yun
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, his status was also greatly elevated, and even together with Zhuge Liang, the two people who accompanied Liu Bei in the Manchu version of the "Temple of The Emperors of past dynasties" became the fourth person of the Shu Han Dynasty after Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu.
At the end of the day, it still is
Jiang Wei was originally a Wei general, but after the fall of Shu, he falsely surrendered and rebelled, which did not conform to the concept of feudal monarchs
for the sake of.
