As we all know, Zhuge Liang enjoyed a high reputation before and after his death, not only because of his extraordinary wisdom, but also because he promoted benevolent government and made people live a better life. On the other hand, he often describes Zhuge Liang's spiritual characteristics in his writing.
Although Jiang Wei is also an able person and a very smart person, many people divide his speech into two poles. Shi Shuo Xin Yu told him that "Shu officials are all handsome in the world and nobody looks at them", and his colleagues really praised him for "being tireless in learning, plain and frugal, self-sufficient in appearance", and some even compared him to a loyal and firm person.
So is Jiang Wei loyal or treacherous? This problem also puzzles us, which is related to the integrity of a generation of ancient people. At that time, there were too many corrupt officials and cruel officials, but although they were big traitors, they were still admired because they were loyal to their old masters. For those who are not loyal to their old owners, their personal image is often greatly reduced.
Jiang Wei's wisdom is the wisdom of governing the country and the army. After the assassination of Fei Yi, Jiang Wei began to lead the troops to seize power alone, and then led the army to attack many times. From sixteen to five years, Jiang and * * * launched seven large-scale northern expeditions, all of which targeted the Guanzhong Plain. Seven wars have been fought in ten years, that is, there will be a large-scale military operation in less than one and a half years on average. This kind of war is really intense. Compared with Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei is indeed more persistent in the war.
