Among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Wei ranked twenty-fourth.

…… ……

Jiang Wei (202-264), whose name is Boyo, was a native of Tianshui Ji County (now southeast of Gangu, Gansu). During the Three Kingdoms, he was a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the official was a general. Because his father Jiang Jian died in battle, Jiang Wei was appointed as Zhonglang by the county.

During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei was suspected of having different intentions, and Jiang Wei had to surrender to Shu Han and was reused by Zhuge Liang.

After the death of Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei began to emerge in Shu Han, and after Fei Yi's death, Jiang Wei began to take sole control of the army, and continued to lead the Shu Han army to the Northern Expedition against Cao Wei, and fought with Cao Wei's famous generals Deng Ai, Chen Tai, Guo Huai, etc., Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition won a total of two big victories; three small wins; not four times apart; One big defeat, one small defeat.

Later, because the ministers of Shuzhong also opposed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, and the eunuch Huang Hao took power, Jiang Wei could not kill him, so he had to avoid trouble in Tuntian, and then Sima Zhao attacked Shu in five ways, Jiang Wei guarded the Sword Pavilion and blocked the Zhonghui army, but Deng Ai attacked Chengdu from Yinping, and Liu Chan surrendered.

After that, Jiang Wei hoped to revive Shu Han with his own strength, and pretended to surrender to the Wei general Zhonghui, intending to use Zhonghui to rebel against Cao Wei to achieve his desire to restore the Han family, but in the end Zhonghui's rebellion failed, and Jiang Wei and Zhonghui were killed by the Wei army together.

…… ……

Jiang Wei lost his father at an early age, lived with his widowed mother, and liked Zheng Xuan's scriptures. Like his rival Deng Ai's children and teenagers, he enjoyed the deep love of his mother and sister, and grew up in their loving eyes.

He was appointed as the head of the county, and the state recruited him to work for the state. Jiang Wei's father, Jiang Yi, was a Gongcao of Tianshui County, when Qiang and Rong rebelled, Jiang Wei stood up to protect the county guard and died on the battlefield, so Jiang Wei was given the official Zhonglang, and Tianshui County joined the army.

In the sixth year of Jianxing (228 years), Zhuge Liangjun, the prime minister of Shu Han, went out of Qishan, when Jiang Wei and Gong Cao Liang Xu, the main book Yin Xian, and the main secretary Liang Qian inspected from Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun in various places, Ma Zun learned that the Shu Han army arrived, and all counties responded to the Shu army, suspecting that Jiang Wei and others were dissenting, so they left Jiang Wei and others, and fled to Shangqi with Guo Huai overnight.

Jiang Wei and others couldn't catch up, and when they returned to the city, the city gate was closed, so they led their subordinates to Ji County, and Ji County did not let Jiang Wei enter the city, Jiang Wei had no choice but to surrender to Zhuge Liang.

Ma Tan was defeated in Jieting, and Zhuge Liang pulled more than 1,000 families from Xi County back to Shu, causing Jiang Wei to be separated from his mother.

In the seventh year of Jianxing (229), Zhuge Liang set Jiang Wei as Cangcao Peng, added General Fengyi, and was named the Marquis of Yangting.

Zhuge Liang wrote a letter to Jiang Wan, saying that Jiang Wei was a sergeant in Liangzhou and had the courage to do so, and asked Jiang Wei to lead an army of five or six thousand tiger infantry. Later, Jiang Wei was promoted to the general of the Central Supervision Army.

In the first year of Yanxi (238), Jiang Wei garrisoned Hanzhong with the general Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan took Jiang Wei as the camp Sima and led the partial army to fight in Qiangzhong many times.

Later, Jiang Wei was successively promoted to the general of Zhenxi and the general of Wei, and recorded the book with the general Fei Yi.

The Yi people in Pingkang County, Wenshan County, rebelled, and Jiang Wei led his troops to fight for peace.

Soon, the Qianghu people in Yongzhou, Liangzhou and other regions turned their backs on Wei and surrendered to Shu. Jiang Wei led his troops out of Longyou to respond, and fought with Wei Yongzhou assassin Guo Huai and Shu protector Xiahou Ba in Taoxi.

The leaders of the Hu tribe, Bai Huwen and Zhi Wudai, led their troops to Shu, and Jiang Wei moved them to Shu.

Before going on the road, Bai Wenhu gave Jiang Wei two Hu women, but Jiang Wei was influenced by Zhuge Liang and Confucianism and did not accept them, which were one of the few generals in the Three Kingdoms who did not touch women.

In the twelfth year of Yanxi (249), the Shu Han court made Jiang Wei a holiday, and Jiang Wei led the army out of Xiping and returned without restraint.

Jiang Wei thought that he was familiar with Western customs and was both civil and military, so he wanted to win over Qiang and Hu for the use of Shu Han, so that he could control Longxi, whenever Jiang Wei wanted to raise troops, but was sanctioned by Fei Yi, so that the army led by Jiang Wei did not exceed 10,000 people.

In the spring of the sixteenth year of Yanxi (253), Fei Yi was assassinated and killed. In the summer, Jiang Wei led tens of thousands of people out of the stone camp and besieged Nan'an, Chen Tai, the assassin of Yongzhou in Wei State, led the army to the rescue, Chen Tai marched to Luomen, but Jiang Wei had retreated due to the exhaustion of military food.

In the second year, the Shu Han court added Jiang Wei to supervise the internal and external military. Jiang Wei led the army out of Longxi, and Li Jian, the chief of Di Dao, surrendered the city. Jiang Wei entered the siege of Xiangwu, defeated the Wei general Xu Zhen, and beheaded him, and the Wei army was defeated and retreated. Jiang Wei took advantage of the victory to pursue, and successively broke through Hejian, Heguan, Lintao and other places, and pulled out the people of his county to return to Shu.

Jiang Wei in the eighteenth year of Yanxi (255 years) led the cavalry general Xiahou Ba out of Di Dao, in Taoxi to break the Wei State Yongzhou assassin Shi Wang Jing, Wang Jing killed and wounded tens of thousands, retired Di Dao City, Jiang Wei besieged Di Dao City to attack, Wei sent the general Chen Tai to relieve the siege, Jiang Wei retreated to garrison Zhong Di.

Jiang Wei was promoted to general.

Jiang Wei reorganized his troops and horses, sent troops with Hu Ji, the general of Zhenxi, and agreed to meet in Shangqi, but Hu Ji did not come, resulting in Jiang Wei being defeated by Wei general Deng Ai in Duangu, Jiang Wei suffered many casualties, and the people complained about Jiang Wei, and Longxi was also restless. Jiang Wei then asked to be demoted to a rear general and become a general.

…… ……

Wei Zhengdong's general Zhuge Dan raised troops in Huainan to resist the Sima clan, Jiang Wei took advantage of the emptiness in Wei Pass to lead troops out of Qinchuan, and led 10,000 people out of Luogu. Wei generals Sima Wang and Deng Ai guarded the Great Wall, Jiang Wei garrisoned in Mangshui, camped in the mountains, Jiang Wei challenged many times, but Sima Wang and Deng Ai could not hold out.

After Jiang Wei heard that Zhuge was defeated and died, he led his troops back to Chengdu, and Liu Chan restored Jiang Wei's position as a general.

…… ……

In the fifth year of Jingyao (262), Jiang Wei led the army out of Han and Houhe, but was defeated by Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei retired to garrison. At that time, the eunuch Huang Hao took power, and he wanted to abolish Jiang Wei and cultivate the right general Yan Yu. Jiang Wei asked to kill Huang Hao, but Liu Chan refused, and Jiang Wei did not dare to return to Chengdu and Tuntian in Yuzhong.

Jiang Wei heard that Zhong Hui was in charge of the Guanzhong, and sent Liu Chan to send Zhang Yi and Liao Hua to guard the Yang'an Pass and Yinping Qiaotou respectively to prevent trouble.

But Huang Hao listened to the ghosts and gods and told Liu Chan that the enemy army would not come, and the Shu Han ministers did not know about it.

The Wei army attacked Shu on five routes, and when Zhong Hui would go to Luogu and Deng Ai would enter the Zhongzhong, Liu Chancai sent Liao Hua to support the Zhongzhong, and Zhang Yi and Dong Ju to support the Yang'an Pass.

Jiang Wei was pinned down by Deng Ai and retreated to Yinping, Zhong Hui besieged the two cities of Han and Le, and sent another army to attack the pass, Shu fought Fu Tong to death, while Jiang Shu opened the city and surrendered. Zhong saw that the pass had been captured, so he drove straight in, Jiang Wei and Liao Hua had no choice but to give up Yinping, rendezvous with Zhang Yi and Dong Ju, and retire to the Sword Pavilion.

Zhong Hui wrote a letter to persuade Jiang Wei to surrender, but Jiang Wei did not respond, and Zhong Hui could not attack for a long time, so he discussed and prepared to retreat.

At this time, Deng Ai was smuggling in Jinggu Road, marching to Mianzhu, breaking Zhuge Zhan, Liu Chan surrendered in Kaicheng, and ordered Jiang Wei to surrender.

Jiang Wei's sergeants all drew their swords and slashed stones to vent their anger, but helplessly, Jiang Wei led the army to surrender to Zhonghui.

After Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui, he knew that Zhong Hui would rebel, so he persuaded Zhong Hui to try to kill Wei General, Zhong Hui framed Deng Ai on the one hand, and prepared to rebel on the other hand, but the matter was revealed, Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui and Shu general Zhang Yi were all killed, and Deng Ai was also killed by Tian Xu.
