[Who will inherit the responsibility after Zhuge Liang's death?]
Among the Three Kingdoms, Shu Han can be called a wealth of talents, whether it is a civil official or a military general. Liu Bei not only got Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other heroic generals, but also the genius military strategist Zhuge Liang assisted, which is enviable. And these successors of Zhuge Liang also have their own merits.
[Who is the successor designated in Zhuge Liang's last words?]
In terms of politics, Zhuge Liang successively designated Jiang Wan and Fei Yi as his successors, and in military affairs, he chose Yang Yi. However, Liu Chan was dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's long-term restraint and abolished the prime minister's system. Yang Yi was degraded for killing Wei Yan and making insulting remarks. Therefore, after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wan was in charge of government affairs, and Fei Yi was in charge of military affairs.
【NO.1蒋琬】
The first thing mentioned is Jiang Wan, the successor to the country clearly designated by Zhuge Liang in his will. Zhuge Liang used troops many times, and Jiang Wan was always able to ensure an adequate supply of food and troops. Therefore, whenever Zhuge Liang talked to people, he praised: "Gongyan's ambition is loyal and elegant, and he should work with me to assist the king in achieving great causes." When he was seriously ill, Zhuge Liang secretly played the queen: "If I unfortunately pass away, the aftermath should be handed over to Jiang Wan." This fully shows that Zhuge Liang has regarded Jiang Wan as the primary successor. After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wan almost grasped the military and political power of Shu Han. After Zhuge Liang's death, there was turmoil inside and outside the Shu Han court. However, Jiang Wan, who shouldered the heavy responsibility, remained calm, neither showed majesty nor joy, and behaved as usual, gradually winning the trust of the ministers. Jiang Wan has a gentle personality, a calm mind, never emotional, and excellent coordination skills, which can be called an excellent leader. His prudent, gentle, and humble qualities even surpassed Zhuge Liang. During his stay in Hanzhong, he sent Jiang Wei on several northern expeditions, but to no avail. Jiang Wan carefully assessed the Northern Expedition since Zhuge Liang and believed that the main reason for the failure to make progress was the difficult roads and transportation difficulties. Therefore, he thought that it would be more appropriate to advance eastward by water, conduct water warfare, and attack Weixing and Shangyong through the Han River and rivers. However, due to the recurrence of his old illness and his inability to work at full strength, he had to send Jiang Wei to be the assassin of Liangzhou and take charge of the war in the northwest, while he himself went to the vicinity of Fucheng in the east to seriously assess the possibility of advancing eastward. Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated, and he eventually died in Fule Mountain, Fucheng.
Zhuge Liang's chosen successor is Jiang Wan. He was appreciated by Zhuge Liang in his early years and was known as the "pillar of the country". After taking charge of the country, he adhered to the governing philosophy of "taking stability and people's livelihood as the foundation", developed the economy, adjusted strategies, stabilized people's livelihood, coordinated the relationship between monarchs and ministers, maintained the stability of Shu Han, and achieved "border tranquility and national harmony", which can be called an outstanding virtuous minister after Zhuge Liang. In terms of historical status, he should be higher than Jiang Wei, and his governing philosophy will forever be recorded in the annals of history.
In August of the twelfth year of the Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty (234), Zhuge Liang, a generation of virtuous ministers, died in the Wuzhang Yuan Army due to illness due to hard work. The Shu Han regime suddenly lost its pillars. At this time, the whole country mourns and panics. In the face of the powerful Cao Wei, Shu Han was at a critical moment of life and death.
So, who can inherit Zhuge Liang's legacy and maintain the political stability of Shu Han? Who is Zhuge Liang's designated successor?
Many people may mistakenly think that Jiang Wei is Zhuge Liang's successor, which is mainly influenced by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but this is not the case.
It is true that Jiang Wei is deeply appreciated by Zhuge Liang. In the spring of the sixth year of Jianxing (228), Zhuge Liang made the first Northern Expedition, and Jiang Wei was attached. Zhuge Liang appointed him as Cangcao Peng, crowned him as the general of Fengyi, and gave him the title of Marquis of Dangyang Pavilion. He also wrote to Shi Zhangyi, the governor of the province, and Jiang Wan, who joined the army, praising Jiang Wei for being "loyal, diligent, and thoughtful...... It is a superior talent in Liangzhou". In the following years, Jiang Wei fought with the army many times, and before Zhuge Liang died of illness, he had been promoted to the Central Supervision Army and the general of the expedition to the west. However, due to Jiang Wei's late annexation, his achievements and prestige are still insufficient. Although Zhuge Liang had high hopes for him and focused on training, he was not directly selected as his successor.
So, who is Jiang Wan, and why does Zhuge Liang value him so much and choose him as his successor?
Jiang Wan, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty after Zhuge Liang, was a talent discovered by Zhuge Liang. It was his efforts to turn the tide after Zhuge Liang's death that enabled Shu Han to survive for 41 years under the situation of the Three Kingdoms.
After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wan inherited his tradition of selecting talents and appointing capable people. Yang Xi is a figure that Zhuge Liang admires, he is fair and fair when he discusses the law. When Jiang Wan served as the assassin of Yizhou, he recommended him to engage in history in Zhizhong, and later appointed him as Dong Cao Peng when he was a general, and trusted him. The scholar Qian Zhou was appointed by Zhuge Liang to engage in Deng Xue, and Jiang Wan appointed him as a pawnbroker to be in charge of the academic and cultural undertakings of a state. Du Qiong, a native of Chengdu, is proficient in mathematics, and Jiang Wan and Fei Yi treat him with courtesy and respect. Wang Yuantai, a native of Hanjia, has a strong and honest personality, and once drove for Yizhou, Jiang Wan asked Zhang Xiu: "Hanjia's predecessors had Wang Yuanjia, who can be compared to him now?" Zhang Xiu replied: "People like him can't be found in the state, let alone Hanjia County?" Although there are beautiful words, it can still be seen that Wang's prestige and Jiang Wan's sincere heart to select talents. Even Fei Shi, who once criticized Liu Bei for being the emperor too early, was also appointed by Jiang Wan as a counselor because of his outspokenness and uprightness, and did his best.
An important part of inheriting Zhuge Liang's legacy was the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the revival of the Han dynasty. Due to the limitations of geography, economy, talent and other factors, Zhuge Liang is still difficult to operate and work in vain. And the matter of conquest and contingency strategies are not Jiang Wan's forte, and the stakes are very obvious. Jiang Wan knew that he was difficult to compare with Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, but in order to inherit Zhuge Liang's legacy, he resolutely decided to go on the Northern Expedition and made great efforts to achieve this.
During Jiang Wan's reign, there were basically no major personnel contradictions and disputes in Shu, which ensured the unity of Shu Han officials and the stability of the country. Although Jiang Wan's talent was far inferior to Zhuge Liang, he was able to follow Zhuge Liang's rules, govern the country with quietness, pay attention to the selection of talents, employ people's strengths, and be magnanimous and have the overall situation in mind, so that Shu Han maintained a stable political situation after losing Zhuge Liang. As for the Northern Expedition, he judged the situation and made positive progress, although his ambition was difficult to reward, but what he did was basically in line with the general trend of the world and the national conditions of Shu and Han.
It can be said that without Zhuge Liang's discernment and discernment, there would be no later Jiang Wan, and without Jiang Wan, a talent for governing the country, it would be impossible for the mediocre and incompetent Liu Chan to maintain the peaceful life of Shu Han for decades during his reign.
【NO.2 Fei Wei】
Inheriting Zhuge Liang's legacy is the second successor Fei Wei. At that time, Zhuge Liang had been dead for eleven years. However, the later lord Liu Chan and many important ministers of Shu Han still obeyed Zhuge Liang's will and promoted Fei Wei as Jiang Wan's successor, which shows the deep respect of Shu Han's monarchs and ministers for Zhuge Liang. In the negotiations with Soochow, Fei Wei's achievements even surpassed Deng Zhi, and even Sun Quan admired him, saying on the spot: "Mr. is really a rare talent in the world, and he will definitely become the pillar of the Shu court in the future." I'm afraid that in the future, the defense of the Shu court will no longer be able to invite you to come to help. And gave Fei Wei the sword he always held in his hand.
When Zhuge Liang went on his northern expedition, the relationship between Wei Ting and Yang Yi was tense, and even Zhuge Liang felt that it was tricky, and it was all up to Fei Wei to reconcile with him, so that military affairs could be carried out smoothly. After Zhuge Liang died, Fei Wei took over as the rear army, and soon succeeded Jiang Wan as Shang Shuling. When Jiang Wan was seriously ill, he also recommended Fei Wei to be promoted to general, and also took charge of Shangshu affairs, so as to prepare for taking over. Fei Wei has an excellent memory and remembers his memory, so he is extremely efficient. Despite his busy military schedule, he was able to cope with it with ease, and even drank and laughed with guests in his spare time, never delaying his official duties.
For a while, Fei Wei was on a business trip, and Dong Yun temporarily took the position of Shang Shuling. Dong Yun tried to imitate Fei Wei's way of working, but within ten days, the official business was piling up. Dong Yun couldn't help but sigh: "The difference in people's abilities is so big, Fei Gong's ability is really far beyond my reach." Even if I try my best, it's rare to have half a day to spare. Fei Wei has a humble and simple personality, never accumulates possessions at home, his sleeves are clean, and his sons also live a simple life of cloth clothes and vegetarians. He often travels without a retinue of military horses, no different from an ordinary petty official.
In the eleventh year of Yanxi, Fei Wei was stationed on the front line in Hanzhong, but he was still able to effectively control the military and political affairs in Chengdu. In the fifteenth year of Yanxi, he was officially appointed as the head of the ministers, but just as he was about to display his talents and serve the country, he was assassinated by Guo Xun, a general of Wei, due to drunkenness at a banquet.
Fei Yuan, whose name is Wenwei, was born in Jiangxia. His parents died when he was a child, and he relied on his elder Fei Boren to live. Fei Boren's aunt was the mother of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang. When Liu Zhang sent someone to welcome Fei Boren into Shu, Fei Boren took Fei Boren to study in Shu with him. After the first lord Liu Bei pacified Shudi, Fei Yuan stayed in Yizhou, and was as famous as Xu Shulong, a native of Runan, and Dong Yun, a native of Nanjun. At that time, Xu Jing lost his son, and Dong Yun and Fei Yuan planned to go to the burial place of Xu Jing's son together to mourn. Dong Yun asked his father Dong He to borrow a car, and Dong He sent someone to drive a deer cart for them to use. The deer cart was pushed and pulled by manpower, and was narrow enough to accommodate only one person. Dong Yun was reluctant to get into the car with a sad face, but Fei Yuan did not hesitate to get in the car first.
After arriving at the burial place, Zhuge Liang and many dignitaries had gathered together. They were all curious when they saw this rare deer cart, Dong Yun looked nervous, but Fei Yuan acted calmly. After the deer cart was pulled back by the coachman, Dong He inquired about the trip, and after learning about Fei Yuan's performance, he said to Dong Yun: "I often doubt that I and Wen Wei are inseparable, but now it seems that I have a good idea. ”
When Mr. Liu Chan was made the crown prince, Fei Yuan and Dong Yun were appointed as sheren, and later promoted to concubine. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, they served as the squire of the Yellow Gate. When Prime Minister Zhuge Liang returned from his southern expedition, many officials went to meet him dozens of miles outside the capital. Although most of the officials are older and higher in position than Fei Yuan, Zhuge Liang only ordered Fei Yuan to ride in the same car with him, and since then everyone has been impressed with Fei Yuan. When Zhuge Liang had just returned from the south, he appointed Fei Yuan as the captain of Zhaoxin to envoy Wu State. Sun Quan was sleek and eloquent, while Zhuge Ke, Yang Jing and others of Wu were also knowledgeable and eloquent. However, in their conversation with Fei Yuan, they were never able to get Fei Yuan to give in. Sun Quan attached great importance to Fei Yuan, praising him as a rare person in the world who had both ability and political integrity, and would definitely become an important assistant to Shu in the future. After Fei Yuan returned to China, he was promoted to a waiter.
When Zhuge Liang was stationed in Hanzhong, he appointed Fei Yuan to join the army. Because he was always able to successfully fulfill the emperor's will when he went to Wu, he was sent to Wu many times. In the eighth year of Jianxing, Fei Yuan was transferred to the Central Protector Army, and later served as Sima. At that time, the relationship between the military advisor Wei Yan and Changshi Yang Yi was tense, and the two often quarreled because of disagreements, and sometimes even drew knives against each other. In such cases, Fei Yuan often sat among them to persuade them. When Zhuge Liang was alive, the reason why he was able to give full play to the talents of Wei Yan and Yang Yi was largely due to Fei Yuan's mediation and support. After Zhuge Liang's death, Fei Yuan took over as the Later Military Division, and soon replaced Jiang Wan as Shang Shuling. When Jiang Wan returned to Fuxian from Hanzhong, Fei Yuan was promoted to general and concurrently served as a scholar.
In the seventh year of Yanxi, the Wei army was stationed in Xingshi Mountain, and the later lord Liu Chan granted Fei Bao Fu Festival and gave him the power to kill those who violated the order, and ordered him to lead the army to resist. At this time, Doctor Guanglu came to resign to Fei Yuan and invited him to play chess. Despite the urgency of the war, the frequent spread of military documents, the men and horses wearing armor and helmets, and the chariot being ready to go, Fei Yuan and Lai Min concentrated on playing chess, without any impatience and boredom. Lai Min exclaimed: "I have only come to test your bearing! It seems that you are indeed the best person, and you will definitely be able to successfully repel the enemy army." After Fei Yuan arrived at Xingshi Mountain, the enemy army retreated, and he was named Chengxiang Marquis. Later, Jiang Wan pushed Yizhou to the post many times, and Fei Yuan concurrently served as the assassin of Yizhou. Fei Yuan's meritorious service to the Shu State is comparable to Jiang Wan. In the eleventh year of Yanxi, he was stationed in Hanzhong. From Jiang Wan to Fei Yuan, even if they were far away from home, the imperial court still had to seek their opinions before dealing with them in matters of rewards and punishments, which shows the importance and trust they received. In the summer of the fourteenth year of Yanxi, Fei Yuan returned to Chengdu. At that time, some stargazers said that there was no prime minister in the capital, so in the winter, he led troops to the north to Hanshou. In the fifteenth year of Yanxi, the later lord Liu Chan ordered Fei Yuan to build his own government office. At the conference at the beginning of the sixteenth year, Guo Xiu, the general of Wei, was also present. Fei Yuan drank too much alcohol to the point of getting drunk, and was stabbed to death by Guo Xiu with a short sword. After his death, he was posthumously made a marquis.
【NO3.Jiang Wei】
Although Jiang Wan and Fei Wei successively served as generals and great Sima, both of them were civil officials and lacked the actual combat experience of Zhuge Liang, so strictly speaking, they were only the nominal commanders of the Shu Han army. And really in the post-Zhuge Liang era, the one who led the army to fight against Cao Wei's army was Jiang Wei, who had a formal master-apprentice relationship with Zhuge Liang and inherited his mantle in the art of war. After an in-depth conversation with Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei was deeply moved and determined to work hard for the great cause of recovering the Han dynasty.
During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei, as an important member of the General Staff Headquarters, was second only to Yang Yi in status, and because of his civil and military skills, he undertook more important tasks at the tactical level. In the withdrawal of the army after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei was responsible for resisting Sima Yi's pursuit and taking on the heavy responsibility of breaking the back. After returning to Chengdu, Jiang Wei was appointed as the general of the Right Supervision Army and the Auxiliary Han, effectively commanding the armies, and was made the Marquis of Pingxiang. In the first year of Yanxi, the general Jiang Wan was stationed in Hanzhong, and Jiang Wei was on his side, actually commanding military operations. Soon, Jiang Wan was promoted to the position of Grand Sima, and Jiang Wei also participated in military and political decision-making as Sima, and led the Northern Expedition from the western front of Qishan many times.
In the sixth year of Yanxi, Jiang Wan played Jiang Wei as the general of Zhenxi and the assassin of Liangzhou, as if he was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Corps of Shu Han. During this period, Jiang Wan and Jiang Wei cooperated tacitly, and it was also Jiang Wei's most handy moment. After Jiang Wan's death, Jiang Wei was promoted to General Wei and worked with General Fei Wei to deal with Shangshu affairs. Jiang Wei successively defeated the Yiren of the Boshan Plain and the army of Shen General Guo Zhun with great momentum. However, Fei Wei opposed the large-scale use of troops on the grounds that the continuous wars had led to the loss of Shu Han's national strength. Although Jiang Wei planned to go north from the Liangzhou army many times, Fei Wei often only approved less than 10,000 soldiers, making it difficult for Jiang Wei to give full play to his strength.
In the sixteenth year of Yanxi, Fei Wei was assassinated, and the hawks immediately seized real power. For three consecutive years, Jiang Wei used troops against Cao Wei three times, and although there were small victories, they all had to withdraw due to difficulties in grain transportation. In the nineteenth year, Jiang Wei was promoted to the rank of general, and joined forces with Hu Ji, the general of Zhenxi, in Tubang to jointly go on a northern expedition. Unfortunately, Hu Ji's late arrival led to the defeat of Jiang Wei's army by the Wei general Deng Ai with heavy casualties, which was the first serious setback for Jiang Wei in the north. The following year, Jiang Wei took advantage of the rebellion of Cao Wei's general Zhuge on the occasion of the rebellion, and led the army from Qinchuan to the north in response, but was confronted by the joint confrontation of Cao Wei's general Sima Wang and Deng Ai.
In the first year of Jingyao, the eunuch Huang Hao was autocratic, the government was corrupted, and the people were panicked. In addition, Jiang Wei has been fighting for many years, and his achievements are not obvious. Huang Hao provoked the queen Liu Chan and intended to replace Jiang Wei with the right general Jian Yu. Jiang Wei was stationed in Hanzhong for a long time, holding the Sword Pavilion against Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, the main forces of Cao Wei's Southern Expeditionary Army. Soon, Deng Ai was really killed by Zhong Hui, and Jiang Wei even instigated Zhong Hui to occupy Shuzhong in the name of Yizhou Mu to launch a rebellion, but the generals of Cao Wei's Southern Expedition Army did not support it, and the two sides fought fiercely in Chengdu, and finally Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were both killed. It is rumored that Jiang Wei was killed by the rebels, and the other party dissected his body and was surprised to see that he was as bold as a fight. Jiang Wei's wife and family were also killed at the same time.
Jiang Wei, whose name is Boyo, was born in 202 and died in 264, a native of Tianshui Ji County (now southeast of Gangu, Gansu). An outstanding general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, from official to general. When he was young, he depended on his mother and was deeply influenced by the Confucian master Zheng Xuan's teachings. Because his father Jiang Jian died on the battlefield, Jiang Wei was appointed as Zhonglang by the county.
During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei had to surrender to Shu Han because he was suspected of having different intentions, but he was reused by Zhuge Liang. After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei began to emerge in Shu Han. After Fei Yi's death, Jiang Wei began to monopolize military power, and continued to lead the Shu Han army to the north to attack Cao Wei, and clashed with Cao Wei's famous generals Deng Ai, Chen Tai, and Guo Huai many times. Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition had a remarkable record, with a total of two big victories, three small victories, four standoffs, one big defeat, and one small defeat. However, as many ministers of Shuzhong opposed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition and the eunuch Huang Hao's seizure of power, Jiang Wei tried to kill Huang Hao, but he was unsuccessful, so he had to avoid trouble in Tuntian. Later, Sima Zhao attacked Shu on five roads, Jiang Wei stuck to the Sword Pavilion and successfully blocked Zhong Hui's army, but unfortunately Deng Ai attacked Chengdu from Yinping, and Liu Chan surrendered. After that, Jiang Wei had the ambition to revive Shu Han and pretended to surrender to the Wei general Zhonghui, intending to use Zhonghui's rebellion to achieve his desire to restore the Han family, but unfortunately, Zhonghui's rebellion ultimately failed, and Jiang Wei and Zhonghui were killed by the Wei army together.
【NO4.董允】
In Zhuge Liang's "Former Teacher's Table", he praised: Guo Youzhi, Fei Wei, Dong Yun and others in the service were all selected by the first emperor to assist His Majesty. As for weighing the gains and losses, it is the duty of the great, the great, and the right. If there are no good words, then Youzhi, Wei, Yun and others should take responsibility to show their faults. Dong Yun, a virtuous minister in the eyes of Zhuge Liang, is not only a key minister in the late Shu Han Dynasty, but also the pride of Luzhou people. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the later lord Liu Chan was still young and his judgment was not mature, so Dong Yun, with his usual fairness and strictness, assisted Liu Chan in eliminating treachery, so he was promoted to Chuanzhong and commanded the personal guards. Because Guo Youzhi and Fei Wei have relatively mild personalities, most of the responsibility for admonishing and admonishing falls on Dong Yun, and even Liu Chan is in awe of him. When Jiang Wan was stationed in Hanzhong, Fei Wei presided over the military and political affairs of Chengdu, and Dong Yun became Fei Wei's indispensable assistant. Liu Chan doted on the eunuch Huang Hao, and although Huang Hao was smart and clever, only Dong Yun could restrain him. In Dong Yun's era, Huang Hao's status was always only Huang Mencheng, and he could not exert greater influence.
Dong Yun, whose name is Xiuzhao, is originally from Water Town, Jiangyang District, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province. He was the son of Dong He, a famous politician during the Three Kingdoms period.
In 227 AD, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, far from Chengdu, the political center of Shu Han. The early spring sun, although warm, still carries a hint of chill. In the wooded suburbs, a group of soldiers armed with halberds, full of energy, waiting for the order of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, preparing to attack Cao Wei from the north of Qishan for the first time. At this time, Zhuge Liang was still meditating in the military tent, he was wearing a scarf on his head, shaking a goose feather fan, and his face showed a faint worry. He is worried about whether Liu Chan, who is inexperienced and likes pleasure, can deal with national affairs alone. This trip is unpredictable, if Liu Chan makes a mistake, how will he be worthy of the former emperor Liu Bei's love for orphans?
Zhuge Liang was thoughtful and had already made plans for the personnel arrangements of the imperial court. He took out the "Teacher Leaving Table" he had written last night, solemnly handed it to the envoy outside the camp gate, and ordered him to return to Chengdu overnight and present it to Liu Chan.
In the "Teacher Table", Zhuge Liang admonished Liu Chan to get close to the virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, and recommended virtuous people who he thought could take on national affairs: "Shizhong, Shilang Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc., are all honest and good people, loyal and pure in their hearts, so the first emperor selected them to assist His Majesty." I think that everything in the palace, no matter how big or small, should be consulted with them, and then implemented, so that it will definitely be able to make up for the omissions and correct the mistakes, and it will be of great benefit. ...... As for weighing the gains and losses, it is the duty of the two to give advice. ...... If they fail to make useful suggestions, they should blame the dereliction of duty of Youzhi, Yi, Yun, and others to show their fault. The Dong Yun praised by Zhuge Liang is the pride of the people of Luzhou. With the wide circulation of "The Teacher's Table", Dong Yun's reputation has become more and more resounding.
Dong Yun is an honest official and does not seek fame and fortune. Although his political achievements were outstanding, many Shu Han officials, and even Jiang Wan, who served as the assassin of Yizhou, suggested that Liu Chan add an official to Dong Yun and give him food, but he politely refused them one by one. It is said that on one occasion, Liu Chan followed the advice of an official and quietly assigned the entire town of Fenshui to Dong Yun as a domain for him and his descendants. After Dong Yun learned of this, on the one hand, he wrote to Liu Chan and resolutely refused, and on the other hand, he rode back to Fenshui Town overnight, burned the land deed, and returned the allocated fields to the villagers one by one. This move won the deep respect of the townspeople of Fenshui Town, and it is still a good story in the local area.
Dong Yun is honest and humble, treats people equally, and respects the Magi. It is said that one spring, Dong Yun, who was homesick, met with Shang Shuling Fei Yi and other friends to return to their hometowns to play. When their chariot was ready to set off, one of Liu Chan's young attendants, Dong Hui, came to visit. Dong Yun received him warmly, but Dong Hui felt uneasy and wanted to leave. Dong Yun insisted on staying with him: "I traveled with Fei Yi and other friends, originally to talk about my heart, but now that my husband is coming to the cold house, it is a good time for exchanges, how can I miss it?" So, Dong Yun gave up his plan to return to his hometown and had a long talk with Dong Hui all night.
Dong Yun is such an official who adheres to honest political ethics and always thinks about Shu Han and the people. Therefore, he was respected by the people of Shu Han, and was called "Siying" along with Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi. Even though he has passed away, the people of Shu Han still miss him. For this reason, the villagers of Dong Yun's hometown chose a place to build a tomb for him in Dong Yunba, Dabei Village, Fenshui Town, which is said to be his clothed tomb. In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1598), Ruan Shisheng, who was then the assassin of Luzhou, repaired the tomb of Dong Yun and erected tombstones and poems. Ruan Shisheng highly praised Dong Yun's moral exploits in the poem:
Outstanding achievements left two dynasties, thousands of years of lonely graves still look forward.
The mountains and rivers have not been reborn prospects, and the grass is now looking at the fields of Longxi.
The remains of the grave have a monument of knowledge, and it is recommended that Ping has no owner and is only sad and virtuous.
I know that the soul of the hero is still alive, and it is dusk to save the sunset.
【NO5.Yang Yi】
Zhuge Liang's death on the front line was undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge for Wuwenyuan's Shu Han army. The death of the main general made the morale of the whole army low, and how to retreat safely under the close surveillance of the enemy army became Zhuge Liang's greatest concern before his death. Wei Yan is brave and brave, Jiang Wei is wise and brave, and Wang Ping is experienced and has excellent coordination skills, but Zhuge Liang believes that it may be difficult for them to complete the withdrawal plan on their own, which requires careful consideration and administrative skills. After repeated considerations, Zhuge Liang finally chose the controversial but excellent administrative staff officer - Yang Yi.
On the front line of the Northern Expedition, the two people that Zhuge Liang relied on the most were Yang Yi and Wei Yan. They are one scholar and one martial artist, which can be called the treasure of the Northern Expeditionary Army of Shu Han. However, these two talents have incompatible personalities and have a fierce dispute. When Wuzhangyuan was seriously ill, Zhuge Liang weighed the pros and cons, and still decided to let Yang Yi command and supervise the withdrawal of troops. Yang Yi really showed outstanding talent and quickly led the army out of danger. However, this also led to the tragedy of Wei Yan's defeat and death due to disobedience to orders.
Zhuge Liang was deeply worried about Yang Yi's character flaws before his death, believing that he was narrow-minded and difficult to live in harmony with others. Therefore, when Zhuge Liang arranged the heir, he chose Jiang Wan, who had an open-minded personality. After learning the news, Yang Yi was greatly dissatisfied, not only publicly belittled Jiang Wan, but also expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang. His violent reaction led to the turmoil of the new Shu Han regime, and Jiang Wan had no choice but to send Fei Wei, who was close to Yang Yi, to pacify him. However, Yang Yi turned a deaf ear to Fei Wei's persuasion, and even spoke disrespectfully, saying that if he surrendered to Cao Wei at the beginning, he would have gained greater credit and would not be as lonely as he is now. Fei Wei was shocked and immediately reported the matter to the imperial court.
Jiang Wan took into account Yang Yi's past merits, and in the thirteenth year of Jianxing, he was exempted from the death penalty, and only demoted him to a concubine and exiled to Hanjia County. However, Yang Yi thought it was a great shame and was determined to die. He intensified his efforts and openly wrote to accuse the court of injustice, and his rhetoric was fierce and untamed. In desperation, Jiang Wan ordered the county to arrest Yang Yi, who eventually committed suicide in prison.
Zhuge Liang went on many expeditions, and Yang Yi often planned the branch for him, raised grain, and acted quickly and decisively. Therefore, Yang Yi is responsible for all military affairs. Wei Yan, the former military advisor, is good at raising soldiers and is brave, but he has an arrogant personality, and everyone in the army respects him. Only Yang Yi refused to compromise with Wei Yan, which led to a tense relationship between the two. After Zhuge Liang died of illness, Yang Yi led his troops back to the imperial court and killed Wei Yan. However, Yang Yi thought that he had made outstanding achievements and should succeed Zhuge Liang in charge of the government, but Zhuge Liang's last wish was to let Jiang Wan succeed him. After Yang Yi returned to the court, although he was worshiped as a Chinese military teacher, he actually had no real power, just nothing. In this regard, Yang Yi was deeply dissatisfied and often complained. Fei Yi, the commander of the Later Army, secretly played his complaint to the Later Lord, causing Yang Yi to be deposed as a commoner and exiled to Hanjia County. In the place of exile, Yang Yi still wrote to slander the imperial court, and his words were fierce. The imperial court ordered the arrest of Yang Yi, and eventually Yang Yi committed suicide and his wife returned to Shu.
Yang Yi's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious: on the one hand, he was brilliant, and during the Northern Expedition with Zhuge Liang, he was able to quickly plan his divisions and raise grain every time he sent troops, showing excellent administrative ability; on the other hand, he was narrow-minded and difficult to get along with others. For example, when he was serving as Shangshu, he was at odds with Shangshu Ling Liu Ba. Although he was sent by Guan Yu to meet Liu Bei, and was appreciated and reused by Liu Bei, his vision was relatively short-sighted. When Liu Bei conquered Eastern Wu, Yang Yi was demoted due to a feud with Liu Ba. His failure to understand the importance of the power held by Liu Ba as his boss shows his lack of insight into the political situation. In addition, his conflict with Wei Yan also stems from his unwillingness to compromise with Wei Yan, which further proves that he is narrow-minded. After Zhuge Liang chose Jiang Wan as his heir, Yang Yi complained about not getting the high position he expected, which once again exposed his misjudgment of the political situation and his weakness of narrow-mindedness.
Although Yang Yi's talents were widely recognized, his character flaws eventually led to his tragedy. He failed to see the political situation at the time, and the timing of his complaint was inappropriate, which eventually led to his tragic end. It also reminds us that in addition to talent and ability, we also need to have good interpersonal relationships and political wisdom in the workplace in order to achieve better development and achievement.
【NO.6 王平】
The Battle of Jieting can be called the most important mistake in Zhuge Liang's life, in addition to the main general Ma Tan was sentenced to capital punishment as punishment, including Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, etc., the generals were all demoted. However, in this wave of demotion turmoil, there is a partial general who stands out because of his outstanding military exploits, he is Wang Ping, who was born in the army and does not know a few big characters. In the Battle of Jieting, Wang Ping led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and successfully made Zhang He dare not act rashly with the tactics of beating drums and bluffing, and won precious time for the safe retreat of the Shu Han army to Hanzhong. Because of this special military achievement, Wang Ping was worshiped as a member of the army in a demotive, and then promoted to the general of the court, and was named the pavilion marquis.
In the ninth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang's fourth northern expedition, Wang Ping besieged Qishan as a deputy division. In the face of Zhang He's army sent by Sima Yi, Wang Ping led the Wudang Fei Army, which was composed of ethnic minorities in the south, and swore to hold on. Zhuge Liang had a significant advantage in the first encounter with Sima Yi, in which Wang Ping pinned down the army of Cao Wei's fierce general Zhang He with a small number of troops, which was indispensable.
In the twelfth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, and when the army was withdrawn, Wei Yan was in turmoil, and it was Wang Ping who was ordered to suppress Wei Yan's rebels. Because of this merit, Wang Ping was promoted to the post of Houdian Army, General of Anhan, and soon served as the Taishou of Hanzhong. In the fifteenth year of Jianxing, Wang Pingjin was named the Marquis of Anhan, replacing Wu Yi, the deputy cavalry general who was originally stationed in Hanzhong, and became the commander-in-chief of the Shu Han front army. When Jiang Wan was stationed in Hanzhong, Wang Ping was the vanguard of the northern expedition.
In the sixth year of Yanxi, when Jiang Wan led the army back to Fucheng, he appointed Wang Ping as the former supervisor of the army and the general of Zhenbei, and became the commander-in-chief of the garrison corps in Shu Han and Hanzhong. In the seventh year of Yanxi, Cao Shuang, the general of Cao Wei, led an army of 100,000 to attack Hanzhong, and the generals on the front line of Shu Han fell into panic, but Wang Ping was calm and calm, and his command was determined. With the support of reinforcements led by Fei Yi, Cao Shuang returned in vain. At that time, Wang Ping was in the north, Deng Zhi was in the east, and Ma Zhong was in the south, and the three of them together became the "iron guard" of the Shu Han regime.
Although Wang Ping was born in the army and could not read and write, he was quick to think and clear when dictating and composing. He often asked his staff to read the "Records of the Historians" and the "Book of Han" for him, and he was able to deeply understand the meaning of them. Wang Ping has a rigorous personality, does not smile, sits upright all day, and shows extraordinary patience, which is in stark contrast to the impetuousness of ordinary generals from the army. However, he also appeared to be narrow-minded at times and lacked the demeanor of a general, which may have something to do with his lack of knowledge. In the eleventh year of Yanxi, Wang Ping died of illness in the army.
Wang Ping (?-248), also known as He Ping, was an outstanding general in the late Shu period. The year of his birth is not clearly recorded in the historical records. According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Wang Ping", Wang Ping lived in the house of his maternal grandfather He when he was a child, so his surname was He, so some historical books called him "He Ping". When he became an adult, he reverted to the surname "Wang".
In the eleventh year of Yanxi (248), Wang Ping passed away, and his son Wang Xun succeeded to his throne. In the same year, Wang Ping's fellow county Hanchang people Jufu, because of loyalty, courage and generosity, repeatedly made military exploits and was highly praised, although its reputation and title were slightly inferior to Wang Ping, but the official to the left general, the marquis of the ditch. Later, Zhang Yi and Liao Hua also successively served as generals.
Wang Ping initially defected to Cao Cao, but later switched to Liu Bei during the Battle of Hanzhong. During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Wang Ping defended the street pavilion with Ma Tan, and was appreciated by Zhuge Liang for his outstanding insight and outstanding performance during the retreat, and was able to be promoted exceptionally. After Zhuge Liang's death, he assisted everyone in quelling the Wei Yan Rebellion. In the early days of Jiang Wan's reign, Wang Ping assisted Wu Yi in defending Hanzhong, and was later promoted to the general of Zhenbei, leading Hanzhong, successfully resisting the large-scale attack on Shu by the Wei general Cao Shuang.
In the later period of the Shu Kingdom, many famous generals passed away one after another. At that time, Deng Zhi was stationed in the east, Ma Zhong in the south, and Wang Ping in the north. These three Shu generals are famous and meritorious.
According to historical records, although Wang Ping fought all his life, he was illiterate and knew very few words. However, his dictated correspondence was insightful and coherent. Whether on the march or in the camp, he always asked someone to read the biography of the Benji in the "Records of the Historians" and the "Book of Han" for him. After listening to it, he can not only memorize it completely, but also evaluate the strengths and losses, strengths and weaknesses of each character, and learn from them.
Wang Ping strictly abides by the law, speaks solemnly, and never jokes. He sat upright all day long, without the rashness of a general. However, he also sometimes seems narrow-minded, suspicious, and occasionally self-contemptuous, which may be the regret of his life. At the same time, Wang Ping's fellow county Hanchang people are known for their loyalty, courage and generosity, and have repeatedly made military exploits, although their reputation and title are slightly inferior to Wang Ping, but the official is the general of the left, and the marquis of the canal is sealed. Later, Zhang Yi and Liao Hua also became generals one after another. At that time, people praised: "There are kings and sentences in the front, and Zhang and Liao in the back." ”
As for Wang Ping's strengths and weaknesses, although he could not read and write, his dictated letters were unique and well-organized. He loved to learn, and whether he was marching or garrisoning, he asked people to read history books and learned from them. He obeyed the law, spoke solemnly, had a calm personality, and did not have the rashness of a general. However, he also appears narrow-minded and suspicious at times, which may be his shortcoming.
【NO7.Ma Zhong】
Inheriting Zhuge Liang's great exploits in the Southern Expedition, the most powerful person in the south and known as the iron wall of the southern defense of Shu Han was Ma Zhong, the chief general of the Southern Expedition Army that year. Ma Zhong's superb political skills skillfully replaced frequent military operations, and the stability of the southern and central regions has made great progress. Since Zhuge Liang, there has been no large-scale rebellion in the southern and central regions. In the fifth year of Yanxi, Ma Zhong was ordered to return to the dynasty, discussed military affairs with the general Jiang Wan, and was named the general of Zhennan. In the seventh year of Yanxi, when the general Fei Wei went on a northern expedition, Ma Zhong stayed in Chengdu as a scholar, and after Fei Wei returned, Ma Zhong returned to Nanzhong again. In the twelfth year, Ma Zhong died of illness in the camp where he was stationed. Ma Zhong is generous and generous, likes to talk and laugh, although his heart is full of anger, he never shows it easily, and he is decisive when dealing with affairs. His combination of grace and power made the ethnic minorities in Nanzhong both awe and love him. After Ma Zhong passed away, the ethnic minorities wept for him according to their own customs and built a large temple to worship him.
Ma Zhong, whose name is Dexin, was born in Langzhong, Brazil, and was born in a family of scholars, and was an outstanding general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he served as a clerk in Brazil County, and was recommended as filial piety for his outstanding performance, and later served as the chief of Hanchang. When Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei was defeated at Yiling and stationed in Yong'an, Yan Zhi, the Brazilian Taishou, recruited 5,000 men to supplement the army and sent Ma Zhong to lead the troops. After Liu Bei spoke with Ma Zhong, he greatly praised him and praised him to Shangshu Ling Liu Ba for his talent like Huang Quan. When Prime Minister Zhuge Liang opened the mansion to govern affairs, he hired Ma Zhong as his subordinate. During Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, Ma Zhong was appointed as the Taishou of Qiqi, and he led the partial army to successfully quell the local rebellion. Ma Zhong's governance in the city has achieved remarkable results, so Zhuge Liang promoted him to participate in the military affairs of the prime minister, as the deputy of the prime minister Shi Jiang Wan, responsible for handling the military and political affairs in the rear. Since then, he has also held a position in Yizhou Zhizhong. When the Wei army attacked Hanzhong in a big way, Ma Zhong went to Zhuge Liang's army to assist in military affairs. Then, he commanded the Yamen general Zhang Wei and other generals to successfully quell the rebellious Qiang people in Wenshan County. Liu Guan, a wealthy clan in Nanzhong, launched a rebellion, and the counties were in turmoil, so Zhuge Liang sent Ma Zhong to replace Zhang Yi, the former governor of the capital, and Ma Zhong lived up to expectations and successfully quelled the rebellion. Therefore, Zhuge Liang crowned Ma Zhong as the supervisor of the army and the general of Fenwei, and gave him the title of Marquis of Boyang Pavilion. Jianning County had killed Taishou Zhengang and kidnapped Taishou Zhang to send to Wu State, so the former governors of Yu were often stationed in Pingyi County, where there were many Han Chinese. However, Ma Zhong chose to move his residence to Wei County, where Han Chinese and ethnic minorities live together. Yueshan County has been in a state of chaos, Ma Zhong commanded and assisted Yueshan Taishou Zhang Wei to restore order, so he was directly promoted to General Annan and was named Marquis of Pengxiang. When the great Sima Jiang Wan was stationed in Hanzhong in the north, Ma Zhong entered the court to report on his work, was ordered to go to the front line to convey the edict, and was worshiped as the general of Zhennan. When Wei attacked Hanzhong, the general Fei Yi led his army north to reinforce him, while Ma Zhong stayed in Chengdu to handle government affairs. After Fei Yi's class returned to the court, Ma Zhong returned to Nanzhong. In the twelfth year of Yanxi, Ma Zhong died of illness while in office, and his son Matthew inherited his title.
Ma Zhong followed Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's southern expedition and defeated the Southern Barbarian Army many times under the command of Zhuge Liang, but in the confrontation with Mrs. Zhurong, he was once captured in order to rescue Zhang Wei. During the Northern Expedition, he served as the commander of the Right Army as General Fenwei and Marquis of Boyang Ting. In the seventh year of Jianxing, he participated in the battle to defeat Cao's army. In Zhuge Liang's battle of six out of Qishan, Ma Zhong and Jiang Wei led the squadron to attack Beiyuan.

After Zhuge Liang took power, the Shu Han regime maintained long-term peace and stability with Eastern Wu, making the Eastern Front war-free. After Liu Bei's death, Deng Zhi, as the first diplomatic envoy, was ordered to hold peace talks with Sun Quan. With his sincerity and witty response, he quickly resolved the hostility between Wu and Shu. Sun Quan praised in his letter to Zhuge Liang: "There is only Deng Sheng in the two countries of harmony." During Zhuge Liang's many Northern Expeditions, Deng Zhi served as an important military advisor to the legion, serving as the Central Supervisor Army and General Yangwu. After Zhuge Liang's death, Deng Zhi was promoted to former military division, former general, and concurrently led the Yanzhou Assassin History, and later was also responsible for supervising Jiangzhou, maintaining close contacts with Sun Quan. In the sixth year of Yanxi, he was promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry, and finally died of illness on the Eastern Front in the fourteenth year of Yanxi.
Deng Zhi has been a general for more than 20 years, with clear rewards and punishments, compassion for soldiers, and a very simple life. His food and clothing were provided by the government, and he never set foot in private property, so that his wife sometimes suffered from hunger and cold, and the family had no money left when she died. Deng Zhi has a straightforward personality, is not pretentious, and rarely takes the initiative to interact with others, so he seems quite lonely in the officialdom and does not have many friends. But he didn't care about it, always stuck to his principles and did his duty. Among the officials of Shu Han, only Jiang Wei was like-minded with him and respected each other.
Deng Zhi (?-251), whose name is Bo Miao, was born in Xinye, Yiyang (now Xinye, Henan), and was an important minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period after Deng Yu. In his early years, some people predicted that he would become a general in the future. Later, he was appointed by Liu Bei to serve as Pi Ling, and then promoted to Guanghan Taishou. Because of his honesty and rigor, and his outstanding political achievements, he was recruited into the court to serve as a scholar. After Liu Bei's death, he was ordered to send an envoy to the state of Wu, where he successfully repaired relations between the two countries, and was deeply appreciated by Sun Quan.
In the sixth year of Jianxing (228), Zhuge Liang tun soldiers in Hanzhong, prepared for the Northern Expedition, appointed Deng Zhi as the central superintendent of the army, and general Yangwu, and ordered him and Zhao Yun to attack the city of Yicheng in order to attract the power of Allah Cao. In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234), Deng Zhi was promoted to the former military division, former general, and concurrently served as the assassin of Yanzhou, the Marquis of Wuting in Fengyang, and was responsible for supervising Jiangzhou soon after. During this period, Sun Quan contacted Deng Zhi many times and gave him a lot of money.
In the sixth year of Yanxi (243), Deng Zhi was promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry, and was later granted the power of the false festival, and successfully put down the rebellion in Fuling. In the fourteenth year of Yanxi (251), Deng Zhi died of illness. He lived his life with integrity, simplicity, and did not hide his emotions. In his more than 20 years of military career, he was well rewarded and punished, and was deeply loved by the soldiers. His food and clothing were all supplied by the government, and he never got involved in private property management, so that his wife sometimes suffered from hunger and cold, and when she died, there was nothing left at home.

Zhang Yi is rigorous and meticulous, so he has not won the favor of ethnic minorities. When Liu's stomach was in turmoil, although Zhang Yi had the intention of severely punishing him, the local elders did not support him, which caused the chaos to intensify. Zhuge Liang was helpless, so he transferred Ma Zhong to replace him. When Ma Zhong had not yet taken up his post, the situation became more and more severe, and his subordinates persuaded Zhang Yi to abandon his post and return to the capital, but Zhang Yizheng said: "I was transferred today, but because of my own lack of strength, how dare I complain about the imperial court? After Zhuge Liang's death, Zhang Yi had to worship the former general and the marquis of Guannei. In the first year of Yanxi, he worshiped Shangshu again, entered the capital of Tinghou, and conquered the western general. Zhang Yi and Jiang Wei had a considerable disagreement on military strategy, Jiang Wei advocated aggressiveness, while Zhang Yi preferred prudent tactics and opposed rash advances. Although there were disputes, Jiang Wei still relied heavily on Zhang Yi and often invited him to accompany him, and Zhang Yi had no choice but to follow. When Shu Han died, Zhang Yi and Jiang Wei participated in the plot to rebel against Zhonghui in the Sword Pavilion, but finally died in the chaos.
Zhang Yi, the word Bogong, Liu Bei led Yizhou Mushi, and let him be the secretary. Later, he was filial piety, and he was the chief of Jiangyang, and he was the deputy general of Zhao Yun in the Battle of Hanshui. Later, he moved to Fuling County, and successively served as officials Zitong, Guanghan, and Shu County. When Zhuge Liang ruled Nanyi, Ren Yi was the governor of the capital and the general of Suinan Zhonglang. Zhang Yi has a cautious personality and is difficult to be flexible when enforcing the law, so he does not have the heart of ethnic minorities. The elder commander Liu Zhou rebelled, Zhang Yi failed to conquer and was recalled, Ma Zhong replaced him, and Ma Zhong killed Liu Zhou according to the previous strategy and pacified the southern land. When Zhuge Liang came out of Wugong Mountain, Zhang Yi served as the former military governor and fought with the Wei army and showed bravery. After Liang's death, Zhang Yi was sealed as the Marquis of Guannei, and later as Shangshu, and entered the Pavilion Marquis of the capital, which was highly used. Zhang Yi used the fatigue of the small people as the reason to compete with Jiang Wei's expedition to Wei, although it was unsuccessful, but he still went out with the army, and the two have been at odds since then. Jiang Wei broke the King Sutra and killed tens of thousands of enemies, Zhang Yi persuaded him to accept it when he saw it, Jiang Wei did not comply, and then attacked Di Dao to no avail. Every time Zhang Yi went with the expedition, he had to do it as a last resort. After the death of Shu Han, Zhang Yi followed Jiang Wei to Zhonghui Yufu. The following year, Zhonghui rebelled unsuccessfully, and Zhang Yi was also killed by the rebels.
Zhang Yi enforces the law strictly, knows no flexibility, is loyal and ambitious, and is talented but ill-fated. At first, he was a general under Liu Zhang, and later returned to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei's collapse, he followed Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, made many meritorious achievements, and visited the general of the West. After the death of Shu, he descended to Zhonghui with Jiang Wei, but the rebellion of Zhonghui was pacified by Wei, and Zhang Yi was also killed by the rebel army. A generation of famous generals has become a victim of political struggle, which makes people sigh.

Following the death of Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, Deng Zhi and other second-generation generals one after another, he and Jiang Wei supported the pillars of Shu Han side by side, mainly Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi. Zhang Wei actively assisted the ethnic minorities in the south in farming, animal husbandry, and salt and iron management, greatly improved their living standards, and made outstanding contributions to the progress and prosperity of the southern and central regions, so he was commended by the later lord Liu Chan, and he was crowned as the general of Furong. Zhang Wei is not only thoughtful, but also has extraordinary insight. He once advised the general Fei Wei not to neglect the defenses around him, but Fei Wei did not take his advice and was eventually assassinated. Zhuge Ke (the son of Zhuge Jin), the Taifu of Eastern Wu, made a great effort during the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, and Zhang Wei also reminded him to be cautious and not to be arrogant, but Zhuge Ke did not listen, and soon suffered from the disaster of the Yi people.
Zhang Wei served in Nanzhong for 15 years, and when he was transferred back to Chengdu, the Yi people were reluctant to give up, crying goodbye with food. There were even more than 100 people who led him to pay tribute, and the imperial court crowned him as the general of Dangkou. Later, he followed the Wei general Jiang Wei on his northern expedition and confronted the Yue general Yu Zhen with a small number of troops, although he successfully annihilated most of the enemy's unified army, but Zhang Wei himself was seriously injured and finally died on the battlefield. When the Yi people of Yueshan County in the south learned of Zhang Wei's death, they were all grief-stricken, and even built temples and held sacrificial activities for him.
Zhang Wei has held the position of county gongcao since he was an adult. When Liu Bei pacified Shudi, the thieves invaded the county, and the county order abandoned his home and fled, but Zhang Wei was burdened with the wife of the county order, risking his life to break through the siege of thieves, so he became famous. During the Jianxing period, the bandits in the Guanghan area were in turmoil, and the momentum was rampant, Zhang Wei used his wit, set up a banquet to lure the enemy, personally led the ambush soldiers, beheaded more than 50 thieves, and put down the rebellion in only ten days. After that, he served as the Yamen general under Ma Zhong, the Qiang people in Wenshan in the north, and the barbarians in the four counties of Nanping.
Zhang Wei came from a poor background, but he showed extraordinary courage since he was a child. In the fifth year of Jianxing (227 AD), during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhang Mu and others in Hanzhong, Guanghan and Mianzhu took the opportunity to make trouble.
