Jiang Wei is a well-known historical figure, he was a military expert and famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. However, Jiang Wei was originally a general of the State of Wei, but later surrendered to the Shu army and eventually pledged allegiance to the State of Shu.
So why did Jiang Wei surrender to the Shu army? And why did they owe allegiance to the Shu kingdom? There are two reasons for this.
1. Jiang Wei was suspected by Wei Jun
Jiang Wei was suspicious of the Wei army and had to surrender to the Shu army. Jiang Wei was born in the State of Wei, and his father served as an official in the State of Wei, and later his father died in the battlefield, so That Jiang Wei was a general in the State of Wei.
However, when Zhuge Liang left Qishan, Jiang Wei was suspected by Wei Jun's insiders. Because many counties in Tianshui at that time responded to the Shu army, this made Tianshui Taishou suspect that Jiang Wei was going to defect, so he fled.
Jiang Wei chased him out, and after arriving in Ji County, the defending officials of Ji County also suspected that Jiang Wei would not let Jiang Wei enter the city, but at this time Zhuge Liang had arrived, and Jiang Wei surrendered to the Shu army. Because Jiang Wei had nowhere to go and his life was in danger, Jiang Wei could only surrender to the Shu army.
2. The Shu Kingdom's reuse of Jiang Wei
Although Jiang Wei was forced to surrender to the Shu army, Jiang Wei's loyalty to the Shu state was due to the Shu state's heavy use of Jiang Wei. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the State of Shu was short of generals, so Jiang Wei's surrender was a blessing in disguise for the State of Shu.
Zhuge Liang was also very happy about this, so Zhuge Liang was very important to Jiang Wei. After the defeat of Jieting, Jiang Wei became a general of Fengyi and was made the Marquis of Dangyangting, at this time Jiang Wei was only twenty-seven years old.
Jiang Wei never received such attention in the State of Wei, which made Jiang Wei feel that he could show his talents and realize his ambitions in life in the State of Shu, so Jiang Wei decided to be loyal to the State of Shu, and soon Jiang Wei commanded the Tiger Infantry Army and was promoted to the general of Zhengxi.
After Fei Yi, Jiang Wei again seized the military power of the Shu state, and inherited Zhuge Liang's legacy, continuing the northern expedition to the State of Wei until Liu Chan surrendered to the State of Wei.
The reason why Jiang Wei was loyal to the Shu state was mainly because the Shu state attached importance to him. Jiang Wei was not only not valued in the State of Wei, but also suspected by others, which made Jiang Wei very chilled, and after being forced to surrender to Shu, he did not expect the Shu Congress to reuse him, so it was not surprising that Jiang Wei was loyal to the State of Shu.
From the perspective of Jiang Wei's loyalty to the Shu kingdom, it shows that after a person is valued, it is possible to have the idea of loyalty. And this point also deserves the attention of modern enterprises.
In the work, employees have the need to be needed, in other words, every employee wants to be valued and needed, so as to reflect their own value. Therefore, "how to retain talents" is an important part of modern enterprise management.
