Chapter 81 The final burning of an idealist!
[What is passing before your eyes is Jiang Wei’s life]
(The scene begins with an old general, with his left hand on his chest, his right hand holding a sword and scanning the surrounding soldiers, saying with a sad face: "My plan failed, it is fate!" The long sword pierced his chest, and he died with his eyes open.)
[Jiang Wei, courtesy name Boyue, was born in Tianshui Jiang clan and was originally a general of Wei. In 228 AD, Prime Minister Zhuge's army went out of Qishan to the north. Ma Zun, the governor of Tianshui, suspected that Jiang Wei had ulterior motives, so he had to surrender to Shu Han.
"Old General, do you know Tianshui Jiang Boyue?"
"If you get a Jiang Boyue, you get a phoenix."
Zhuge Liang appointed Jiang Wei as a warehouse official, gave him the title of General Fengyi, conferred him the title of Marquis of Dangyangting, and taught Jiang Wei all his life's knowledge. The 27-year-old Jiang Wei was full of vigor and vitality.
After that, he commanded five to six thousand Tiger Infantrymen alone and was promoted to General of the Central Military Inspectorate and the Western Expedition General.
In 234 AD, Zhuge Wuhou died of illness at Wuzhangyuan. Jiang Wei was appointed as the Right Inspector General of Assisting Han and was granted the title of Marquis Pingxiang.
Jiang Wei inherited Zhuge Wuhou's will to "conquer the Central Plains in the north, support the Han Dynasty, and return to the old capital."
In 238 AD, Jiang Wei followed the Shu Han general Jiang Wan to station troops in Hanzhong. Jiang Wei was the camp commander and led the army to fight in Qiangzhong many times. In 240 AD, Jiang Wei led troops to Longxi. Guo Huai advanced and chased him to Qiangzhong, so Jiang Wei retreated.
In 243 AD, Jiang Wei was promoted to General Zhenxi and appointed Governor of Liangzhou. In 246 AD, Jiang Wei led his troops to attack Longxi and defeated Wei generals Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba.
In 247 AD, Jiang Wei was promoted to General of the Guards and was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat. In the same year, Jiang Wei led his troops to quell the uprisings of various tribes in Shu Han. The Qiang and Hu people in Yong and Liang turned their backs on Wei and surrendered to Shu. Jiang Wei sent troops to meet them and moved them to Shu.
In 249 AD, Jiang Wei pretended to be a general and led his army to Xiping, but failed to conquer it and returned. Fei Yi, the prime minister of Shu Han, had different political views from Jiang Wei, so the army led by Jiang Wei did not exceed 250 people. In AD, Jiang Wei attacked Xiping and captured Guo Xun, a general of Wei.
In 253 AD, Fei Yi was assassinated by the surrendered general Guo Xun. Jiang Wei led tens of thousands of people out of Shiying and besieged Nannan, but had to retreat because of the depletion of military supplies.
In 254 AD, Jiang Wei supervised the military affairs at home and abroad and sent troops to Longxi. Li Jian, the chief of Didao, surrendered the city. He continued to besiege Xiangwu, killed the Wei general Xu Zhi, and broke through Hejian, Heguan, Lintao and other places. The Wei army retreated.
In 255 AD, Jiang Wei led General Xiahou Ba and General Zhang Yi out of Didao and defeated Wang Jing, the governor of Yongzhou of Wei. Wang Jing was defeated and retreated. Because General Chen Tai of Wei came to rescue Didao City, Wang Jing had to withdraw his troops and station in Zhongti.
"Without a master behind us, what good is it even if we capture the Nine Strongholds of Qishan?"
In 256 AD, Jiang Wei was promoted to the rank of general, but was defeated by Wei general Deng Ai. The Shu army suffered heavy casualties, and the people resented Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei asked to be demoted to the rank of rear general and to perform the military duties of a general. In 258 AD, Liu Shan restored Jiang Wei's position as general.
"He followed the will of Wu Hou and did things that were difficult to accomplish. He invaded the Central Plains nine times, which was criticized by many people in the court and the public."
In 262 AD, Jiang Wei organized his army and presented a petition to the emperor to request the ninth expedition to the Central Plains, but was defeated by Deng Ai and retreated to Dazhong. At that time, the eunuch Huang Hao was in power, and Jiang Wei requested to have Huang Hao executed, but the emperor refused. Therefore, Jiang Wei did not dare to return to Chengdu, so he planted wheat in Dazhong to wait for an opportunity to launch a northern expedition.
"The situation is over, how can we force it..."
In 263 AD, Jiang Wei again presented a petition to the later emperor Liu Chan, requesting that Zhang Yi and Liao Hua be sent to garrison Yang'an Pass and Yinping Bridge respectively to guard against attacks from the Wei State. However, Liu Chan believed the words of the eunuch Huang Hao and refused.
Not long after, the Wei army attacked Shu from five directions. Jiang Wei was pinned down by Deng Ai and retreated to Yinping, while Zhong Hui besieged the two cities of Han and Le.
The Wei army attacked the pass, and the Shu general Fu Qian fought to death. Jiang Shu opened the city and surrendered. Jiang Wei and Liao Hua had to abandon Yinping, meet up with Zhang Yi and Dong Jue, and retreat to Jiange.
Deng Ai sneaked across Yinping and marched into Mianzhu. Zhuge Zhan and his son were killed in the battle. Liu Chan opened the city to surrender and ordered Jiang Wei to surrender.
"The general received the order..."
"I am ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?"
Jiang Wei was filled with grief and indignation but could do nothing about it, so he led his troops to surrender to Zhong Hui.
"I, Jiang Wei, may be of limited talent and wisdom, but I am loyal and will protect the foundation established by the late emperor until my death."
"I have a plan that can restore the Han Dynasty to its former glory"
After Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui, he never forgot about restoring his country. After knowing that Zhong Hui had rebellious intentions, he instigated Zhong Hui to frame Deng Ai and rebel in Shu.
Eventually, the conspiracy was exposed, Chengdu was in chaos, and Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Zhang Yi and others were killed by the rebels.
(Wei Guan came to Jiang Wei's body and bowed, saying: "The destruction of Shu Kingdom is not the fault of the general, but the result of the tyranny of the later ruler...")
＜The Kirin boy from Tianshui is willing to fight for the Han Dynasty in order to repay the kindness of Wu Hou＞
＜Jiang Wei: I have a plan...
Liu Chan: Stop! I looked at the "Memorial to the Emperor", and you are not mentioned at all! >
＜Jiang Wei has never even met the former emperor Liu Bei, but he keeps talking about restoring the Han Dynasty and inheriting the wishes of the prime minister and the former emperor [crying]＞
＜Inherit the Prime Minister's will and fight against the traitors who usurped the Han Dynasty!＞
＜The Mandate of Heaven does not belong to the Han Dynasty, so it cannot be forced.＞
＜Without a master behind him, what good would it do to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun? The situations of Yue Fei and Jiang Wei were similar＞
＜I hope your majesty will endure the humiliation for a few days. I want to restore the country from danger to safety, and the sun and moon to brightness again. Liu Chan is really not worth it＞
＜Some of Jiang Wei’s final actions are really… it can be said that the Kingdom of Shu was destroyed because of Jiang Wei＞
＜Nine expeditions to the Central Plains, the country’s strength can no longer bear it＞
＜Let’s look at more historical materials before discussing this…＞
＜After all, there is only one Zhuge Liang＞
＜Alas, Shu Han finally relied on a surrendered general from Wei＞
＜National destiny is really something amazing. Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty from Shu, and the end of the Han Dynasty also happened in Shu [sad]＞
＜Jiang Wei's plan to harm the three sages was already very powerful＞
＜The great generals of the Han Dynasty began with Han Xin and ended with Jiang Wei.＞
……
Doesn’t Ji Han’s romance originate from this group of idealists?
We have a common goal, so it is no wonder that over the years, everyone has felt sorry for Ji Han, and it is also because of this that the resentment towards Liu Chan has deepened...
Liu Bang had never thought that the Han Dynasty would last for more than 400 years, nor had he thought that there would be a revival under Liu Xiu after Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty. Although he knew that Liu Bei had failed to revive the Han Dynasty, the fact that this descendant was followed by so many people seemed to indicate that his personal charm was comparable to his own.
Han Xin lived under house arrest in Chang'an, spending his time watching the screen every day.
When I saw the sentence [The great generals of the Han Dynasty began with Han Xin and ended with Jiang Wei. ], I was stunned.
On the one hand, I felt sorry for Jiang Wei, the last great general of the Han Dynasty. On the other hand, I began to miss the days when I was a great general of the Han Dynasty.
The Battle of Chencang, the Battle of Anyi, the Battle of Jingsuo, the Battle of Defeat Qi, the Battle of Defeat Dai…
Whether it was Emperor Liu Bang or King of Han Liu Bang, whether it was General Han Xin of Han or Marquis of Huaiyin Han Xin, that time could never be returned.
Liu Bei wished he could take Liu Adou back from his third brother, hang him up and beat him up.
"Tell me, is he worthy of these loyal ministers?"
Liu Bei was really stimulated by Guangmu's words. Jiang Wei, a surrendered general, knew that he couldn't surrender, but he actually surrendered...
"Tianshui Jiang Boyue..." Zhuge Liang calculated the time and thought Jiang Wei should still be a teenager at this time.
Zhuge Liang was still interested in this disciple whom he had never met before.
"minister…"
"Hey~ I know what you want to do. When we go north, we can let you continue your relationship as master and disciple."
Liu Bei smiled and stopped Zhuge Liang from saying anything.
On the other side, Liu Chan looked at his third uncle Zhang Fei in front of him with trepidation.
Zhang Fei felt very sorry for this great Han general whom he had never met. He glared at Liu Chan hatefully, thinking that his nephew was truly disappointing.
Ji County, Tianshui County
"???" Jiang Wei, who depended on his mother for everything, couldn't believe what Guangmu said. Did he know his whole life at such a young age...
The last Han general.
It's not a good place to stay for long.
Although Jiang Wei was young, he also knew what Guangmu said, and if he didn't handle it properly, he would not end up well.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Wei left Tianshui County, where he was born and raised, with his widowed mother and went to Yizhou under an assumed name.
