Jiang Wei believes that everyone is not unfamiliar, he has a very strong romantic color, knowing that things cannot be done, even after the fall of the Shu Han, he must find an opportunity to restore the country, and finally died in the plan to restore the country. The Liu Bei Clique or the Early Shu Han Dynasty also had some romantic overtones, but with the long-term stagnation of the Northern Expedition and the gradual decline of the National Strength of the Shu Han Dynasty, the Shu Han gradually returned to reality. In the late Shu Han Dynasty, the confrontation between the main war faction and the anti-war faction was very fierce. Jiang Wei is definitely a complete and outgoing main battle faction, he faces very huge resistance, and there are three relatively important political enemies - Zhuge Zhan, Dong Jie, and Fan Jian. What is their historical image?
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Shu Han's attitude toward the Northern Expedition</h1>
The enthusiasm of the Shu Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition showed a tendency to decay. From the sixth year of Jianxing in the Shu Han Dynasty to the twelfth year of Jianxing (that is, from 228 to 234 AD), the period was the reign of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was a main warrior faction, so the Shu Han carried out six Northern Expeditions at this stage, and Zhuge Liang personally led the troops five times. After Zhuge Liang's death, Shi Jianghuan, the governor of the Chancellor's Mansion, succeeded Zhuge Liang as the second ruler of the Shu Han Dynasty. Jiang Huan was also a main warrior faction, even more fierce than Zhuge Liang, and planned to attack Xiangyang from Shangyong along the Han River. However, Jiang Huan's Northern Expedition could not be realized. The first is that he has received great resistance from the DPRK and China because he is too risky; the second is because of Jiang Huan's personal physical reasons.
After Jiang Huan's death, Fei Yi and Jiang Wei became rulers. Jiang Wei was nominally in power, but in fact his political influence in the Shu Han Dynasty was extremely limited. Moreover, Fei Yi's status was higher than that of Jiang Wei, and Jiang Wei was restricted by Fei Yi. Jiang Wei wanted to carry out the Northern Expedition, but Fei Yi was an anti-war faction, so he always suppressed Jiang Wei's desire for the Northern Expedition and only gave Jiang Wei 10,000 people to carry out the Northern Expedition.
In the sixteenth year of the Shu Han Dynasty (i.e., 253 CE), Fei Yi was assassinated by Guo Xun, a Cao Wei descendant brought back by Jiang Wei during the Northern Expedition. As mentioned above, Jiang Wei's political voice is not large, and at this time, Shang Shu made Chen Qi's political influence higher than Jiang Wei's, but he was a main battle faction and had the same position as Jiang Wei. Therefore, Jiang Wei carried out many high-frequency, large-scale Northern Expeditions. When Jiang Wei was victorious, the voice of the anti-war faction of Shu Han could not shake Jiang Wei; but after the huge defeat of the "Battle of Duangu", the voice of the anti-war faction also rose.
For example, Chen Zhou vigorously opposed Chen Qi and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition; even Jiang Wei's comrades-in-arms Liao Hua and Zhang Yi did not support Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, and Both Liao Hua and Zhang Yi were famous Shu Han generals who waged war against Cao Cao's clique or Cao Wei, and had a lot of criticism of Jiang Wei, which showed that Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition was indeed no longer in line with the people's sentiments of shu Han; the influence of these figures on Jiang Wei was limited, and Zhuge Zhan, Dong Jue, and Fan Jian, who had the power of Pingshang Shushi, had the power of Pingshang Shushi and had a much higher political influence than Jiang Wei, the titular general Lu Shangshushi. Zhuge Zhan and others tried to seize Jiang Wei's military power and let the Right General and Yong'an Governor Yan Yu take his place, causing Jiang Wei not to dare to return to Chengdu and take refuge in Tuntian in Puzhong, which shows Jiang Wei's jealousy of these three political enemies. The following xiaobian will talk about these three people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zhuge Zhan, Dong Jie, Fan Jian</h1>
Zhuge Zhan: Zhuge Zhan was the son of Zhuge Liang and was also given high hopes by the Shu Han people, including Liu Chan. Liu Bei's group or Shu Han had only two military division generals, one was Zhuge Liang and the other was Zhuge Zhan. In fact, the military division general was not a particularly high official position, but its particularity reflected Zhuge Zhan's status in the Shu Han Dynasty.
From Zhuge Zhan's personal biography, it can be seen that his relationship with Chen Shou was very bad, and Chen Shou added obvious subjective colors when he was revising history. Therefore, the historical image of Zhuge Zhan is not particularly good. In the whole biography, there are only a few positive comments on "gong calligraphy and painting, strong knowledge and reading", and the negative evaluations are basically handy, and the small editor will not repeat them here. Because of chen shou's subjective record, the image of Zhuge Zhan in history may be relatively thin and one-sided. However, Zhuge Zhan, at least, was loyal to Shu Han, and in the "Battle of Wei to Destroy Shu", he and his son Zhuge Shang resisted Deng Ai in Mianzhu until they died in battle. Zhuge Liang became ill with overwork, and Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Shang died on the battlefield, and they were also loyal to Shu Han.
Dong Jie: Dong Yue was once the Lingshi and master bookkeeper of the XiangFu. After Zhuge Liang's death, the Chancellor's Mansion was dissolved, and Dong Yue entered Shang Shutai to become a Shangshu servant. At that time, Jiang Wei nominally recorded Shang Shushi, but in fact did not care about things. Chen Qi ruled as Shang Shu Ling, and Shang Shu Shu was Shang Shu Tai's second in command. After Chen Qi's death, Dong Jie became Shang Shu Ling. This was a big change for Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.
Fan Jian: Fan Jian, like Dong Jie, is a native of Yiyang, Jingzhou. In the fourteenth year of the Shu Han Dynasty (i.e., 251 AD), Fan Jian sent an envoy to Eastern Wu as a lieutenant, and Sun Quan was seriously ill at this time and did not see Fan Jian. Sun Quan asked Zhuge Ke about the merits and demerits of Fan Jian and Zong Qian. Zong Pre also sent an envoy to Eastern Wu and established a relatively deep relationship with Sun Quan. Zhuge Ke's answer was that Fan Jian's talent was inferior to Zong Qian's, but his temperament was better than Zong Qian's. After the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, Fan Jian also talked to Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jin, about Zhuge Liang's way of governing the country and helping Deng Ai to rehabilitate.

In the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, it is recorded that Jiang Wei was forced to return to Chengdu because he offended the eunuch Huang Hao. This is not the case. Huang Hao is indeed more powerful, and his relationship with Jiang Wei is not very good. But the real want to overthrow Jiang Wei is Zhuge Zhan, Dong Jie, Fan Jian's faction, and Huang Hao are two forces. The reason why huang hao is recorded in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also due to the enmity between Chen Shou and Zhuge Zhan, who put Zhuge Zhan's behavior on Huang Hao's head and accused Zhuge Zhan of not being able to correct the eunuchs. Therefore, the struggle between the main war faction and the anti-war faction has become Huang Hao and Jiang Wei's private plan.
In the fourth year of the Shu Han Dynasty (i.e., in 261 AD), Zhuge Zhan moved to the position of Zhongdu Protector and Wei General; Dong Jue moved to the auxiliary state general, and Zhuge Zhan Ping Shangshushi; fan Jian succeeded Dong Jue's Shang Shu Ling. This was a period when the strength of Zhuge Zhan's faction soared, and it firmly controlled the political power in its own hands. After the defeat of the "Battle of Duangu", Jiang Wei had already greatly restrained his desire for northern expedition (only when Cao Wei had the "Three Rebellions in Huainan" with Deng Ai and Sima Wang confronted Guanzhong), and in the fifth year of Jing Yao (that is, in 262 AD), Jiang Wei launched the "Battle of Hou He" and took the initiative to carry out the northern expedition against Cao Wei. The two are very similar in time, so Xiaobian believes that Jiang Wei feels the threat of Zhuge Zhan and others, so he needs a victory to accumulate capital for himself.
Unfortunately, the "Battle of Hou He" also ended in failure, and Zhuge Zhan and others went to Liu Chan to request that Jiang Wei be recruited as the assassin of Yizhou on the grounds that Jiang Wei was "belligerent and fruitless, and the country was tired", seizing Jiang Wei's military power and replacing him with Yan Yu. Although Jiang Wei did not dare to go north again and return to Chengdu under pressure, Liu Chan did not seem to adopt the advice of Zhuge Zhan's faction and did not take any measures to suppress Jiang Wei. In fact, the struggle between the two factions has basically come to an end, because in the sixth year of Jing Yao (that is, in 263 AD), Cao Wei launched a three-way army to eliminate Shu Han, and Jiang Wei and Zhuge Zhan, two political enemies with different opinions, both died to defend and restore Shu Han, which is still a very regrettable thing.
