In history, Jiang Wei was actually born at the wrong time, he was a tragic person, when Zhuge Liang went on the Northern Expedition, his opponents were Cao Zhen and Sima Yi at most, but when Jiang Wei was on the Northern Expedition, his opponents were really not weak, Jiang Wei was perennial in the Northern Expedition, and Chen Tai, Wang Jing, Guo Huai, and Deng Ai all had battles. Jiang Wei made a total of eleven expeditions to the north, so let's talk about the cattle people in the late Wei period who met in these eleven times.

Jiang Wei's first Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei and Jiang Wan led the division out of Longyou, and held off with the Wei army in Nan'an.

In the second Northern Expedition, in 244 AD, Cao Shuang did not listen to Sima Yi's persuasion, and appointed Xiahou Xuan as the general of the expedition to the west, and supervised the military of Yong and Liangzhou during the false festival, and led 60,000 or 70,000 troops from Luogu into Shu. At this time, Jiang Wei and Fei Wei's opponents were military fools like Xiahou Xuan and Cao Shuang, Fei Yi and Jiang Wei led the troops to guard the mountains, and Cao Shuang could not advance. Cao Shuang had no choice but to withdraw his troops, but he had already been held by Jiang Wei and Fei Yishi to defend the rear road of the Wei army, and Cao Shuang was able to evacuate after a hard battle, with many casualties. This second battle is a victory. It is worth mentioning that during the Second Northern Expedition, Cao Wei's vanguard general was Guo Huai, and the first confrontation between Guo Huai and Jiang Wei was regarded as Jiang Wei's victory.

The third Northern Expedition, in 247 A.D., went out of Longxi, and fought with Wei generals Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba against Taoxi. Jiang Weice rebelled against Longxi, Nan'an, Jincheng, Xiping, Zhuqiang, Hunger He, Yaoge, Vatong, Moshasai, etc., united to rebel, besieged the town, recruited Shu soldiers in the south to assist, and Liangzhou Ming Hu Zhi Wudai also raised troops to rebel. Jiang Wei took the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Xiahouba and Guo Huai, but did not gain any benefits, and finally withdrew his troops. At this time, Xiahou Ba had not surrendered to Shu, he existed as Jiang Wei's opponent, when Jiang Wei went on the Northern Expedition, Wei was full of talents, and it was indeed more tragic, there were Jiang Wan, Fei Wei, Deng Zhi and other teammates in the early stage, and in the later stage, there were fewer and fewer powerful teammates around him, but there were many powerful opponents.

In the fourth Northern Expedition, in 249 A.D., Jiang Wei sent Liao Hua to Taocheng, and Jiang Wei fought alone with many generals of Wei, and the two sides won and lost each other. At this time, Jiang Wei and Liao Hua faced Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba, Chen Tai, Deng Ai and other generals of Wei State, and it is conceivable that they faced four powerful generals in the late Cao Wei period at one time, although they won and lost each other, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops in the end.

In the Fifth Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei was supplemented by Qianghu and fought with Guo Huai in Taoxi, and the two sides were tied.

In the subsequent Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei's opponents have always been Guo Huai, Chen Tai, and Deng Ai, and the seventh Northern Expedition killed the Wei general Xu Zhen.

Until the Eighth Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei's old opponent Guo Huai finally died of illness, Jiang Wei rushed to launch the Eighth Northern Expedition, the Eighth Northern Expedition, at that time, Wang Jing was newly appointed as the assassin of Yongzhou, got the news of Jiang Wei's northward advance, and immediately informed the superior general Chen Tai of Zhengxi, saying that the Shu army launched an attack from Qishan, Shiying, and Jincheng at the same time, and suggested that the enemy should be met from these places. Wang Jing asked Ying to lead the army to meet the enemy in Shiying, and suggested that the troops should be divided to defend Qishan, and at the same time the Wei army of Liangzhou should be deployed to go to Caohan to reconnoiter the enemy army marching into Jincheng. Chen Tai believed that the intelligence was unreliable, and it was unlikely that the Shu army would gather such a large army to deal with Wang Jing. But the size of the Shu army was indeed like this, and the Wei garrison was not enough to divide the troops. Once the Wei army in Liangzhou was transferred to fight elsewhere, the territory was unfamiliar, so it could not be used to the fullest. Chen Tai thus replied to Wang Jing that since the enemy army should not be able to divide its forces and advance, they must further analyze Jiang Wei's movements, and the Wei army must gather troops to gain complete numerical superiority. Ordered the king to enter the Tundi Road, avoid meeting the enemy, and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Chen Tai asked Wei Ting for reinforcements, and at the same time personally led the army to Chen Cang.

Wang Jing had not experienced much warfare and lacked military experience, so he seriously underestimated Jiang Wei and underestimated the Shu army, mistakenly believing that the Shu army would be tired after a long journey, and it was best not to give it a chance to rest and recuperate, and defeat it preemptively while earlier. Wang Jing was confident that he could win a complete victory because the army had a numerical advantage, the supply line of the Shu army was too long, and the army of his headquarters was on the defensive and had no logistical problems. Therefore, Wang Jing ignored Chen Tai's order to keep Di Dao behind, and instead led his army to venture out of the old pass in the upper reaches of the Tao River. Here, Wang Jing planned to annihilate the Shu army, which he considered demoralized due to fatigue and lack of supplies. In August, the two armies clashed on the west bank of the Tao River, and the Wei army suffered a crushing defeat, with more than 10,000 soldiers drowned in the Tao River when they fled, and most of Wang Jing's army was missing, with tens of thousands of dead. Wang Jing had to lead more than 10,000 remnants to cross the Tao River and retreat to Didao on the south bank, and reorganize under the protection of the city wall. This battle on the west bank of the Tao River (also known as the Battle of Taoxi), also known as the Battle of Guguan, is a relatively perfect battle fought by Jiang Wei. After this battle, Shu general Zhang Yi was accurately aware of the supply problems faced by the Shu army and advised Jiang Wei to withdraw his troops. Jiang Wei wanted to take advantage of the victory to occupy Di Dao, vetoed Zhang Yi's suggestion, and surrounded Di Dao. The news of Wang Jing's battle against Jiang Wei was learned by Chen Tai, who immediately accurately foresaw that the Wei army would be defeated, ordered the cavalry to gallop to help, and personally led the infantry to follow. At the same time, reinforcements were requested. When the news of the defeat reached the Wei capital of Luoyang, the imperial court was worried that Chen Tai would not be able to save the situation alone. Deng Ai, the newly arrived captain of Changshui in Luoyang, was appointed as the acting general of Anxi and was sent to help Chen Tai. As soon as Deng Ai left Luoyang, Sima Zhao sent his uncle, Sima Fu, the Taiwei to Zhenguanzhong, as a backup. Jiang Wei fought the most beautiful war, defeated Wang Jing, but met Chen Tai, and also achieved Chen Tai, and then Jiang Wei and Chen Tai's Di Dao battle achieved the name of Chen Tai's famous general, as the top spot of Cao Wei's Northwest Military Region Chen Tai was also the first time to defeat the Shu army, this is the most fierce war between Chen Tai and Jiang Wei, and it is also the last war. In the battle of Di Dao, Jiang Wei faced many opponents for a while, and the outcome can be imagined. Reinforcements led by Chen Tai, Deng Ai, Hu Fen, and others arrived. Chen Tai then divided his troops into three routes, advanced to Longxi, bypassed Jiang Weijun, and rushed to the high mountain southeast of Didao City that night, and then lit piles of beacon fires and ordered the soldiers to sound drums and horns in unison. When the soldiers in Didao City saw that the rescue had arrived, their morale was greatly boosted. After that, he was defeated in the confrontation with many Wei generals and retreated to Hanzhong. At the time of the Eighth Northern Expedition, Xiahou Ba had already surrendered to Shu, and at this time, Jiang Wei still had generals like Zhang Yi and Xiahou Ba by his side, but Wei had many generals and was finally defeated.

After the Eighth Northern Expedition, Chen Tai was transferred back to Luoyang, and Deng Ai began to slowly take charge of Yongliang's military, and then Deng Ai and Jiang Wei killed each other, until the eleventh time, Zhong Hui advocated the destruction of Shu, and Deng Ai was over after breaking Chengdu. In Jiang Wei's life, he fought with many famous generals of Cao Wei, Guo Huai, Chen Tai, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Xiahou Ba, etc., Jiang Wei has achieved many people in his life, if there is no Jiang Wei, Guo Huai, Chen Tai, Deng Ai and others may not have such a high achievement, but Jiang Wei is also a tragic person, every time the Northern Expedition always has to face more Wei troops than himself, but also to face Chen Tai, Guo Huai, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai This kind of cattle people, it can be regarded as an inopportune time, if Jiang Wan, Fei Wei and others live longer, maybe there is still the power of a war, However, Shu is poor in talents, Wei is full of talents, and Jiang Wei has never been the opponent of many Wei generals. Most of the famous generals in the middle and late Wei Kingdom became famous after fighting against Jiang Wei, such as Wang Ji, who participated in the pacification of the three rebellions in Huainan, is less well-known than the above.
