The famous General of the Shu Han Dynasty, Jiang Weiguan, was the most important minister of shu Han after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei was originally a general of the State of Wei, in 228 AD, Zhuge Liang's soldiers went out of Qishan, Jiang Wei was ordered to patrol the front line, somehow heard that the Shu army was coming, many counties and counties responded to the Shu army, Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun therefore suspected that Jiang Wei was a traitor, so he fled back to Shangbang overnight, closed the city gate, refused to let Jiang Wei into the city, Jiang Wei had no choice but to surrender to Zhuge Liang.
After defecting to Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei was highly valued, Zhuge Liang bao promoted Jiang Wei as a general of Fengyi, and then promoted to the general of Zhengxi, after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei was awarded the title of general of the Auxiliary Han and continued the great cause of the Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei could be described as smooth sailing in the Shu kingdom, but his fate was extremely miserable, the world knew the truth of death and revenge, but the Wei people hated Jiang Wei to the bone, and after his death, he was dissected and taken from the guts, and the means were so fierce, just because of hatred?
First of all, let's talk about how Jiang Wei died, as mentioned above, although Jiang Wei was doing things in the State of Wei, after defecting to Zhuge Liang, he was highly valued, Jiang Wei himself was loyal to the State of Shu, and made great military achievements, Zhuge Liang even carried the banner of the State of Shu after his death, at first Jiang Wei was invincible, but he was suspected by Fei Yuan and others, which greatly weakened his military ability, and Jiang Wei was able to mobilize less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, until Fei Wei was assassinated, and Jiang Wei regained control of the military.
In 254 AD, Jiang Wei commanded the shu domestic and foreign military, personally led the troops to Longxi, beheaded the Wei general Xu Qian, the Wei army was defeated and retreated, Jiang Wei led the troops to retake Hejian and Lintao and other places, a year later, Jiang Wei sent troops again, the army defeated the Wei state assassin Shi Wangjing, and the Wei generals were killed and wounded more than 10,000 times.
Jiang Wei was promoted to the rank of general for his merits, reorganized the soldiers and horses to continue the Northern Expedition, and met with the Zhenxi general Hu Ji, but after Jiang Wei arrived, he did not see Hu Ji's shadow, and finally failed under Deng Ai's attack, the Shu army suffered heavy casualties, and after the news came back, the people of Shudi resented Jiang Wei's unfavorable conquest, and Jiang Wei demoted himself to a rear general as a warning.
In 263, Jiang Wei learned that Zhong Huitun was in Guanzhong, so he suggested to Liu Chan to strengthen the fortifications, but Liu Chan credulously believed the eunuch Huang Hao's rumors and did not allow Jiang Wei to suggest, and when the Wei Five Roads army attacked the Shu state, he knew that it was too late, Jiang Wei led his troops to resist and was held back in Yinping, Zhong Hui took the opportunity to take the cities of Han and Le, and then drove straight in, Zhong Hui also wrote a letter to persuade Jiang Wei to surrender, which was rejected by Jiang Wei.
Just in the fact that Zhong Hui was going to retire, Deng Ai sneaked into Jinggu Road and took the Shu state camp directly, Liu Chan could only tie his hands and capture, Jiang Wei died not long after surrendering, and died in a miserable state, why?
First of all, after Jiang Wei surrendered, he knew that Zhong Hui was not a person who kept to himself, and often encouraged Zhong Hui to rebel, and Zhong Hui's generals scolded Jiang Wei one after another, but Zhong Hui locked up a group of his subordinates and tried to warn his subordinates, also to test the loyalty of his subordinates to himself, but the news leaked, and the guards of the overseer learned that Zhong Hui was plotting against him, and summoned soldiers and horses to fight Zhong Hui overnight.
During Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, the State of Wei suffered heavy losses, especially Jiang Wei had defeated Wang Jing and killed tens of thousands of Wei troops, and the relatives and children of these people hated Jiang Wei to the bone, and in the entire Wei army camp, Jiang Wei was regarded as a murderous demon king, and what was even more fatal was that Jiang Wei was once a Wei state, turned his back on cultivating his own country, defected to the Shu state, and turned around to slaughter the children of the Wei army.
In the eyes of the Wei generals, Jiang Wei was the culprit who instigated Zhong Hui's rebellion, and even hated Jiang Wei more than he hated Zhong Hui, and there was also a reason that Wei Guan was afraid of being exposed and put Deng Ai's father and son to death, this kind of crime he could not afford, he could only let Jiang Wei carry the black cauldron, one after another, let Jiang Wei catch up, which also led to Jiang Wei becoming the target of everyone, angry soldiers cut Open Jiang Wei's stomach, and the whole family was cut off.
Most of the above is that Jiang Wei carried the black cauldron, what are his own defects? First of all, Jiang Wei was wavering, although he was cornered and defected to the Shu state, after being captured by the Wei state, he still wanted to instigate Zhong Hui to rebel, and Zhong Hui was also a Wei general no matter how he said it, and was used by Jiang Wei to make the Wei soldiers resentful in their hearts.
Jiang Wei was originally a Wei national, but he became a "traitor", and now he was captured by the State of Wei, if he was allowed to act freely, wouldn't he make those generals who swore allegiance to the State of Wei dissatisfied, and brutally killing Jiang Wei was a means of systematic governance, and finally that Jiang Wei had made great achievements during the Northern Expedition, even after being captured, he still did not repent, this courage is very human, all kinds of reasons show that Jiang Wei must die, and must end in misery, the Si people died, and now we can only sigh.
Another most important reason is that although the Shu state was destroyed at that time, Jiang Wei and others naturally wanted to submit to the Wei state, but considering that Jiang Wei was both brave and courageous, it was difficult to ensure Jiang Wei's loyalty, in fact, after Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu state had already begun to decline, and there were not many generals among the generals who could stand alone, and the killing of Jiang Wei was also forced by the situation.
Later generations commented that Jiang Wei did not have Zhuge Liang's wisdom, but insisted on contending with the State of Wei, fighting for many years and hurting the people and money, plus Liu Chan favored eunuchs and did not listen to Jiang Wei's advice on garrisoning, so that the Wei army secretly attacked the base camp, and the Shu state was forced to perish, jiang Wei, although a general, did his best to be loyal to the Shu state, and he was also a tragic hero, and it can only be said that the heavens did not care for the Shu state and Jiang Wei.
