Jiang Wei, inheriting the true biography of Wolong Kong Ming, why has he never fought against Deng Ai in his life?Liao Hua pointed out the answer to this question in one sentence.
The history takes place in 234 A.D., when Mr. Wolong Kong Ming unfortunately passed away in the army, which was a huge loss for Shu Han. The Great Mission of the Northern Expedition was forced to run aground, and Shu Han fell into chaos. In 240 A.D., the Southern Barbarians rebelled and went to quell the rebellion, but they died on the battlefield, becoming a vivid portrayal of the chaos of Shu Han.
In order to continue the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang entrusted Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, Fei Yi and others before his death, and taught what he had learned all his life to the tiger general Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was Zhuge Liang's opponent during the Northern Expedition, and even General Chang Sheng was defeated at his hands. Later, Zhuge Liang personally subdued Jiang Wei, and discovered his extraordinary talent and intelligence, and began to focus on training. When Jiang Wei was 33 years old, Zhuge Liang taught him his art of war.
However, although Jiang Wei should theoretically have the ability to unify the world after obtaining Zhuge Liang's true biography, why did every Northern Expedition end in failure?In 253 AD, Jiang Wei and Wu formed a strategic alliance and successfully defended Nan'an City. However, due to the haste of dispatching troops, the lack of military rations, and the fact that his opponent Chen Tai was good at fighting, he could only choose to retreat. By 254 AD, Jiang Wei had become the presiding officer of the Shu Han army, but he encountered Chen Tai, a famous general of Cao Wei, when he sent troops to Xiangwu, and was finally defeated.
In 255 AD, Sima Shi died of illness, and Jiang Wei took the opportunity to launch an attack, successfully captured Di Dao, and defeated Wang Jing in Taoxi. However, this caught the attention of Deng Ai, another general of Cao Wei. Deng Ai skillfully avoided the elite of the Shu army and inserted himself into the southeast of Di Dao, causing Jiang Wei to fall into a passive situation. In 256 AD, Jiang Wei confronted Deng Ai again, but was defeated due to Hu Ji's negligence. In the years that followed, Shu Han fell into a defensive position, and Jiang Wei could no longer defend by attacking.
After years of warfare, Jiang Wei caused Sima Zhao's dissatisfaction, and in 263 AD, Sima Zhao launched a plan to attack Shu, and Jiang Wei was finally killed in the chaos. Liao Hua pointed out in the summary: "Wisdom does not come out of the enemy, but the strength is less than Kou, and the use is insatiable, how can it stand?."This sentence clearly expresses the fundamental reason why Jiang Wei's intelligence is inferior to that of his opponent and his strength is invincible. Jiang Wei's excessive conquest ultimately led to his defeat.
