In the camp of Shu, Jiang Wei was a latecomer, the fifth-generation ruler of the small court of Shu Han, and a famous strategist and politician in the late Three Kingdoms. He sized up the situation, inherited Zhuge Liang's legacy, held high the most realistic and practical war strategy of keeping the enemy out of the country, and made nine northern expeditions. Although they have their own victories and losses, they will not change their original intention, and they will fight the world and the land to the end with him, as well as the professional politician style of doing their best and dying, and catch up with revolutionary mentor Zhuge Gongxian. In particular, it was described by Mr. Luo Guanzhong's giant pen Rurafter, which left a deep impression on the romantic version of China's history. In particular, his tragic complex of saving the day and knowing what not to do touched countless ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. Jiang Wei was born great and died without regret.
In the History of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou, Jiang Wei's image of benevolence and righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period is not inferior to the vivid description in the Romance Edition. It can be seen that the mainstream media and Jianghu legends support each other, and Luo Chen and his hero are like-minded, and they both spoke highly of Jiang Wei. Only in the eyes of historians who used to talk about success or failure later, Jiang Wei was distorted into a war madman who was exhausted and did not know how to be sympathetic to the people's feelings, and was the grave digger who led to the short life of the small court in Shu and Han Dynasties. This historical theory is extremely unfair. At that time, compared with the two blue-chip stocks of Cao Wei and Sun Wu in the Three Kingdoms, Shu Han was only the most unpopular junk stock, with the weakest strength, small corner and narrow crowd. If Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei hadn't struggled to maintain it, they would have led the war as far as possible to the periphery and skillfully turned the contradictions among the people into contradictions between ourselves and the enemy. I'm afraid there are only internal struggles and powerful enemies, and Shu Han wants to survive in the cracks.
Jiang Wei took over the fire handed down from generation to generation by the older generation of revolutionaries and unswervingly continued the war game of the red baton as much as possible. He gave an incomparably firm interpretation of Zhuge Liang's grand plan of recovering the Han Dynasty and unifying the Central Plains, and did his best as a country. Although he was helpless and finally executed, he still did not hide his brilliant personality charm, loyalty, diligence and loyalty. To say the least, Zhuge Liang's skill of ghosts and gods is not necessarily less than Jiang Wei's tragic fate. Conquering the Han Dynasty, attacking * * * is more like a legend in the rivers and lakes in the face of huge realistic differences. It's an insurmountable peak of ice and snow. Choosing Jiang Wei as his successor actually put a lifelong shackle on Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei chose this road without hesitation. Although the revolutionary road became narrower and narrower, he went straight into a dead end. But in this sense, Zhuge Liang's discerning eye uniquely chose a faithful believer, which doomed this Jiang Bo to go to a happy martyrdom with him, and then the phoenix nirvana, as bright as a meteor, gradually became a fixed eternity in history. It seems that Jiang Wei is entrusted by others. He is a poor thing. An upright man is chivalrous and brave. He is a good Jiang Boyue.
Then, why did Zhuge Liang choose Jiang Wei as his successor? In other words, what is Zhuge Liang's criteria for selecting talents? Why Jiang Boyue and not others? This is related to Zhuge Liang's cautious life and the selection and appointment criteria of leading cadres. It is also closely related to Jiang Wei's personality characteristics, and more importantly, it is related to the world trend at that time and the complicated and subtle personnel relations between Shu and Han. The reason why Zhuge Liang chose Jiang Wei, according to the present words, is the result of weighing the interests of all parties. Jiang Wei was the best candidate at that time, and we tried to analyze it.
Before Zhuge Liang got Jiang Wei, the most promising successor was Ma Su.
According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, young Shi entered Shu with Jingzhou as the forerunner, worked as the commander-in-chief of Chengdu and the governor of Xidu, and was brilliant and resourceful. Liu Bei has few other advantages, but he is very talented. Before his death, he advised Zhuge Liang that Ma Su was exaggerating and should not use it. But Zhuge Liang wouldn't listen. He joined the army, military and political affairs, often stayed up late, and even regarded Ma Su as one of his own. Like father and son, he had to teach him the unique skills of his life. But Masu was so disappointing that he smashed the pot as soon as he debuted. He was headstrong in the battle of Jieting, and lost the most important strategic position in the border areas of Shu and Han, which directly led to this time. Because Ma Su's five brothers are very famous, especially his brother Ma Liang, who is an important counselor of Zhuge Liang Jingzhou Group, made friends with Zhuge Liang and compared Zhuge Liang to a man with management and teeth. After Ma Liang's death, Zhuge Liang took good care of Ma Su. Originally, he expected the chicken to become a phoenix after depilation, and entrusted him with an important task. Who knows that Masu is a paper lantern, with high scores and low energy, and dies when he sees light. Zhuge Liang was sad for a reason, because the potential successor could not convince the public at all, and he was humiliated and hurt the leader's heart. Ma Su was the first to go out in the investigation of his successor.
The second person to refer to is Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was also the most neglected figure in the Shu-Han regime during the Three Kingdoms period. He was both civil and military, smart and brave, and won the war. The most rare thing is that Wei Yan's overall view of war is the most rare and rare among the upper groups of Shu and Han, and he should be the best candidate for leaders to place high hopes on. Unfortunately, Liu Bei, who knows how to use people well and treat Wei well, left the crane early. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, was extremely cold to this person, and was almost killed by Zhuge Liang as early as Wei Yan defected. Wei Yan was marginalized by Zhuge Liang for a reason. First, this man is neither a core group figure on which Liu Bei made his fortune, nor an important member of Zhuge Liang Jingzhou Group, but a defector and a third kind of person, whose role can only be a weapon to break the situation. Second, Zhuge Liang is calm and patient, while Wei Yan is strong and conceited, and likes to talk about the general trend of the world to show his wisdom. They are totally different. Third, in the whole upper-class group, only Wei Yan can challenge Zhuge Liang's authority and put forward a wonderful plan to solve the war once and for all, but this plan was rejected because of Zhuge Liang's caution. However, Zhuge Liang knew that Wei Yan's talents could only be controlled when he was alive. After his death, according to Wei Yan's military talent, no one can balance it. Wei is likely to fall into a radical adventure, which will be a great blow to his lifelong commitment to the great cause of reunifying the Central Plains. It is quite possible that Zhuge Liang has calculated to eradicate Wei Yan.
There are two other people who can be inspected, Jiang Wan and Fei T. Although their names are nice, they all belong to the civil service group and can govern the world, but the overseers are not their own leaders. Jiang Wan, a native of Xiangxiang, Lingling, was an important figure in the later period of Jingzhou Group, but he was not favored by Liu Bei at first, and was almost punished by Liu Bei because of his sloppy degeneration. Thanks to Zhuge Liang's mediation, he learned that he was honest and elegant. After Zhuge Liang's death, he was recommended as a minister and inherited his important duties in killing the government. But after all, the idea is that Zhuge Liang caught a glimpse of Qinchuan, which is full of dangers and difficulties. From this point alone, we can see that Zhuge Liang is actually extremely uneasy about handing over military and political power to him. There is also Fei T, who is inextricably linked with Yizhou Xichuan Group, but eventually took refuge in Zhuge Liang. After Zhuge Liang's death, although the heritage of Shu Han was well preserved, there were great restrictions on Jiang Wei's use of troops. There are only tens of thousands of troops every time. It has been pointed out in history that it was Chiang Kai-shek and Fei who valued literature over martial arts, which led to the disagreement between soldiers and upper-level wartime mobilization orders. Zhuge Liang recommended them as civil servants.
In addition to the above reasons, Zhuge Liang chose Jiang Wei as the military commander and butcher's minister in the post-Shu-Han period, and there was another most important reason that was rarely noticed by historians before. Is it because there are very few military commanders around who can really be of great use? Not necessarily. In Sichuan, a land of outstanding people, there are many brave generals who can be used to fight. Although the fierce generals under the account are not as good as clouds, after all, there are self-serious people such as Wang Ping and Zhang Yi. So why did you finally choose a young and energetic young man? I'm afraid this is the secret that Zhuge Liang is difficult to talk with people.
