Jiang Wei is just a border official, why does Zhuge Liang value him so much?

Because Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition plan and strategy were seen through by Jiang Wei, Zhuge Liang felt that he was a manufacturable material, so he cultivated him.

Jiang Wei is just a border official, the reason why Zhuge Liang values him so much, because Jiang Wei can read Zhuge Liang, which is closely related to Zhuge Liang's punishment strategy, their political views are the same, plus Jiang Wei is brave and strategic, and he is deeply loved by Zhuge Liang.

Because of talent. Although Jiang Wei is not from a good background, he is brave and resourceful, and he learns knowledge quickly, so Zhuge Liang appreciates him.

Because Jiang Wei is not only very strong in personal martial arts, but also a good hand at leading soldiers to fight, and knows how to do things in a timely manner.

The reason is that after the surrender of Shu, Zhuge Liang's teaching and weight moved Jiang Wei, it can be said that the scholar died for his confidant, in Jiang Wei's eyes, Zhuge Liang's filial piety worship has surpassed everything, not so much that Jiang Wei is loyal to Shu, it is better to complete Zhuge Liang's will, and Zhuge Liang's ambition is to restore the Han Dynasty and devote himself to Shu, so Jiang Wei is also loyal to Shu Guoyan.

Because Jiang Wei was moved by Liu Bei's benevolence, and swore to follow Liu Bei to the death, pointing out and assisting Liu Bei with Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei felt that he had realized his life ideals.

I think first of all, let's talk about it separately, Zhuge Liang's situation is different from Jiang Wei's.

In addition, there is a common misunderstanding, that is, the northern expedition of Shu has led to the consumption of national strength for many years, which is debatable.

The Xiongnu and other northern peoples often go south to harass us, why don't we see that their national strength is empty and their successors are powerless? Only the successive defeats of the Xiongnu will lead to the emptiness of national strength and thus decline. Zhuge Liang is a typical example of "good defeat does not die", except for the loss of the street pavilion, which led to the loss of soldiers and generals, the follow-up battles have not failed.

Because the Northern Expedition had to conscript soldiers and levy food, how different is it between letting the troops eat military food in the barracks and eating their own food at home? Zhuge Liang did not cause a reduction in troops, so the disadvantages of military operations were very limited.

It is true that the people of Shu are heavier, but Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition did not come at the cost of destroying production, and in general, Shu is constantly developing under Zhuge Liang's rule.

The wealth of the people is not the same as the wealth of the country. Shu Han undoubtedly consolidated his rule by taking resources into his own hands through conscription. If the peasants were left to the landlords, the peasants would become tenants, and the land would be annexed, and eventually the gentry would become uncontrolled.

This is what the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties have always faced. The rebellion of the scholars of Wei and the rebellion of the clan of Wu show that the destruction of a country does not depend on how much "strength" the imperial court has, let alone whether it is "rich for the people".

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's approach undoubtedly stabilized the politics of Shu Han. Even the Lord of Wu, the Lord of Wei, and the Lord of Jin all praised him very much, which shows that his approach was affirmed by people inside and outside the three countries.

Jiang Wei's era is no longer the same as Zhuge Liang. Due to the span of Jiang Wei's front and back operations, which is not the same as the restrictions he is subjected to, it is difficult to make a single evaluation. But Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition was not the direct cause of the demise of Shu Han.

Your analysis is not unreasonable, but the war relies on the economy, and the national strength of the Northern Expedition is definitely not able to keep up with the Northern Expedition almost every year, and the national strength during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is strong enough, and after a few years of fighting the Huns, isn't the situation turbulent?

Not so-called'Offense is the best defense'It was through continuous attacks that Shu contended with Qiang Wei Moreover, the founding of Shu was fundamentally "Han and thief do not stand together, and the royal industry is not partial", only by attacking can we gather people's hearts and show the strength of Shu, and they are obviously following the example of Liu Bang, the lord of Han Gao, to take Guanzhong first, and then take the world. At that time, Liu Bang set out from Shu to unify the world, which also showed that the economy of Shu was developed from the side.

In fact, Wu did not stick to Jiangdong for a long time, and also fought several battles, but was defeated miserably.

If Shu is in a safe corner, it can rely on geographical advantages to survive.

In fact, if Liu Chan hadn't listened to Huang Hao's slander, Shu would still be able to hold on.

Looking at this issue dialectically, at that time, it was already a very good strategic strategy, although there were small sections, and it was possible to maintain strength according to the overall situation

Jiang Wei has his own merits, he used his wisdom to destroy Shu Han, and persuaded Shu Han's generals to take refuge in himself, all of which show his talent, and his ability is incomparable to many soldiers. His bravery and his talent have always been deeply loved by Zhuge Liang, which is why Zhuge Liang chose him to inherit and complete his career and will, which is his trust in Jiang Wei and his respect.

Because Jiang Wei's skills are actually very good, he has repelled the Wei army many times, and there are still many strategies during the Northern Expedition, and the most important thing is that Jiang Wei is a very loyal general, so Zhuge Liang values him so much.
