Many people like the Three Kingdoms just like the Three Kingdoms when "Liu Guanzhang" was alive, and at this time, the Three Kingdoms will be like clouds, golden iron horses, heroic and abnormal, making people's hearts flutter and yearn for it! As for the late Three Kingdoms period, when talents withered, they were not taken seriously, and many people did not even know how the Three Kingdoms moved towards reunification!
In fact, in the late Three Kingdoms period, there were also many amazing and brilliant people, such as Zhuge Liang's "personal disciple", the famous general Of Shu State Jiang Wei!
As the mainstay of the late Shu Kingdom, Jiang Wei's life is also quite legendary!
Suffered from suspicion and surrendered to the Shu state
According to the Biography of Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei was born in Tianshui Ji County in 202 AD, when Tianshui was the sphere of influence of the State of Wei, and his father Jiang Yuanyuan was Tianshui Gongcao, who died in battle against the Qiang and Rong rebellions, so Jiang Wei was given the official Zhonglang and joined the army in Tianshui County.
Jiang Wei, who had entered his career, plotted under Ma Zun in Tianshui, who was suspicious and narrow-minded, jealous of Jiang Wei's talents, and suspected that he was colluding with the Shu state, so in 228 AD, Zhuge Liang locked Jiang Wei outside the city gates when he sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and in desperation, Jiang Wei surrendered to the Shu state.
Zhuge Liang was known as a wise man, and concluded that Jiang Wei was a material that could be built, so he vigorously cultivated, just in the second year of Jiang Wei's surrender, Jiang Wei, who was only 27 years old, was crowned marquis of Yangting, and the speed of promotion was rare, and since then Jiang Wei has often accompanied Zhuge Liang around, following his southern expedition to the northern war, zhuge Liang has poured out what he has learned all his life, although the two have no name of master and apprentice, but they have the truth of master and apprentice!
During this period, Jiang Wei went straight up to Qingyun under Zhuge Liang's "care" and went to the Central Supervision Army to recruit general Xi.
In 234, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan and died on the way to the Northern Expedition, and after Jiang Wei was ordered to break off, he repelled Sima Yi, who intended to pursue, and was also appointed as the auxiliary Han general of the Right Supervision Army, and was given the title of Marquis of Xiang.
Beginning in 238 AD, Jiang Wei successively plotted under the generals Jiang Huan and Fei Yi, during which he attacked Longxi many times, won victories, and was promoted to wei general, at this time Jiang Wei, although Fengguang had no real power in his hands, because of the sanctions imposed by Fei Yi, his plan to win over Qiang and Rong and control Longxi has been difficult to implement.
With great power in his hands, he sent troops to the Northern Expedition
In 253 AD, Fei Yi was assassinated, Jiang Wei finally "survived the head", and he immediately began to send troops to the Northern Expedition, determined to achieve the great cause of the Northern Expedition of the Enshi!
In fact, since 238 AD, Jiang Wei has begun to send troops to the Northern Expedition, but at that time, it was controlled by Fei Yi, the scale was not large, and after Fei Yi's death, Jiang Wei was able to "let go and do a big job"!
If you count from 238 AD until 262 AD, Jiang Wei carried out a total of 11 Northern Expeditions, winning two big victories, three small victories, four stalemates, one big defeat, one small defeat, and in general, more victories and fewer defeats, making it difficult to eliminate the Shu state in one fell swoop.
In 263, the Wei general Deng Aiqi attacked Sima Zhan and defeated the Shu army, Liu Chan Kaesong surrendered and ordered Jiang Wei to surrender, and in desperation, Jiang Wei Kaicheng, who was confronting Zhong Hui, surrendered.
The intention is to rebel and martyr the country
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, after Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui, he saw that he had the intention of rebellion, so he planned to use his contradictions with Sima Yi to persuade him to rebel against Wei, and then he waited for the opportunity to rescue Liu Chan and restore the Shu kingdom, Zhong Hui did indeed rebel under Jiang Wei's "flickering", but the matter was soon revealed, Zhong would be killed, Jiang Wei was implicated, and the Shu general who had surrendered with him was martyred!
Although Jiang Wei died, the controversy surrounding him was never broken, first of all, people questioned why Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui, as Zhuge Liang's "personal disciple", Jiang Wei should have coexisted and died with the Shu Kingdom, how could he live secretly, the so-called "Liu Chan Edict" did not make sense at all, at that time Liu Chan was already the king of the fallen country, Jiang Wei could not obey his orders.
Secondly, is Jiang Wei's death really because the rebellion was unsuccessful, and he was martyred in the country, or did he mean that he did not rebel, but was simply implicated by Zhong Hui?
Jiang Wei died, everything was dead, there was no proof, only by posterity arbitrarily guessed, but a letter that appeared in 83 years after Jiang Wei's death made all this truth come out!
False descending chung will be used to restore the Soil of Shu
In 346, the famous Eastern Jin general Huan Wen led a large army to attack Shu, and after the Jin army entered Shu, Huan Wen's subordinate general Sun Sheng searched the palace of the Shu State and found a secret letter in the secret room where the archives were stored in the palace, and this letter turned out to be a handwritten letter written by Jiang Wei to Liu Chan.
There are only 23 words in the letter: "May Your Majesty endure the humiliation of a few days, and the subjects want to restore peace to the society, and the sun and the moon will be quiet and bright."
These 23 words are enough to reveal for us the truth about Jiang Wei's surrender to the State of Wei, the reason why Jiang Wei surrendered kaesong was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but pretended to surrender, in order to restore the land of Shu, from his handwritten letter to Liu Chan, it is not difficult to see that he has begun to plot against Zhong Hui, but the grand plan has not been completed, helpless to martyr the country, and Liu Chan at that time was still "happy to think of Shu"!
Jiang Weide Zhuge Liang's true biography, adhering to his last wishes, did not covet fear of death, and secretly lived, if Zhuge Liang knew about it, he could also be blinded!
brief summary:
Throughout Jiang Wei's life, Zhuge Liang, defeat also Zhuge Liang, is Zhuge Liang's appreciation so that he has the opportunity and platform to exert his talents, he is grateful for Zhuge Liang's grace of knowledge, so he is loyal to the Shu kingdom, and upholds Zhuge Liang's will to send troops to the Northern Expedition many times, but this is also his sadness, he has been controlled by Zhuge Liang's kindness all his life, and he has no self.
In fact, after Zhuge Liang's death, he was not taken seriously at all as a general of the State of Wei, it was difficult to convince the people, and the resistance from within the Shu State was much higher than that of Zhuge Liang during the Northern Expedition, which made his Northern Expedition extremely difficult, but he still achieved impressive results by virtue of his military ability, and I have to say that this person is really a talent of heaven!
