How did Jiang Wei go on the Northern Expedition? In the official history, is it really a futile?

The overall forces are not good, they are all raids and disturbances. Even if you build the city, you can't hold it.

Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition went through three major wars.

1. The Battle of Nan'an. At that time, at the invitation of Zhuge Ke, the Taifu of Eastern Wu, the combined forces of Shu Han and Eastern Wu chose to jointly attack Cao Wei's Nan'an City. Due to the lack of sufficient route design and grain and grass preparation in advance, Shu Han, who had not yet confronted Cao Wei's army, was already exhausted of ammunition and food.

So Jiang Wei chose to retreat the same way, and Zhuge Ke's 200,000 army blamed Cao Wei for killing very little.

2. The Battle of Didao. In 254 AD, serious conflicts broke out within Cao Wei's camp, and Jiang Wei took the opportunity to attack on his own. At that time, Li Jian, who was guarding Didao City, chose to surrender directly, and Jiang Wei won without a fight and completed the first victory of the Northern Expedition.

3. The Battle of Xiangwu. After successfully capturing Didao City, Jiang Wei took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued to march towards Xiangwu. Jiang Wei sent all the most elite troops in the entire Shu Han, and the result of this battle was that the Shu army won, and took advantage of the victory to break through Heguan, Lintao and other counties, and relocate the people of the counties and return.

It can be seen that in the real history, Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition was successful except for the failure of the first unpreparedness.

Jiang Wei still went on the Northern Expedition in the manner of Zhuge Liang; His Northern Expedition after Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Rebellion still achieved great results, and it was not in vain.

It's not for nothing. Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition still had a victory, he once took advantage of the opportunity of the Sima Clan's Gaopingling Rebellion to send troops to fight, and the result was a complete victory.

Jiang Wei's eleventh Northern Expedition, the purpose of the Northern Expedition of Regret Town was to eliminate the Bi and the rough Wei State and complete the great cause of unification. From the point of view of purpose, Jiang Wei can not fulfill his heart's wish. Therefore, Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition was all in vain.

He had accumulated a lot of money, and he set out from Hebei with his army, and then went to Henan and then to the northeast, but he returned in vain.

Jiang Wei is good at tactics, short at strategy, long at field battles, and short at siege cities, so although he has achieved great results, he has never been able to turn the results into a quiet victory in the air. There was an opportunity to overcome Yongliang and Enterprising Guanzhong, but unfortunately lost it.

Jiang Wei took the Northern Expedition very seriously and made certain achievements, but he was better than tactics, shorter than strategic Kaifan, longer than field battles, and shorter than sieges, so in the end he failed and stared at the air. It's not that it's useless and the car is back.

8 times in the official history, a helpless move, in order to alleviate domestic contradictions, turn his attention to the Northern Expedition, labor and money hurt his life, and the destruction of Shu is inevitable, and there is no inevitable connection with writing Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei was a famous general in the Shu Han period. Mainly because Jiang Wei rebelled after pretending to surrender, and was finally killed.

Jiang Wei is a general that Zhuge Liang attaches great importance to, because he insisted on the Northern Expedition, but he did not think of his own retreat, and the troops were not enough.

When Jiang Wei was in the Northern Expedition, why was he opposed by many people? Because Jiang Wei's overall ability is not as good as Zhuge Liang, and it brought huge material consumption during the Northern Expedition. In the spring of 223 AD, Zhuge Liang dedicated the list he wrote directly to Liu Chan.

After getting Liu Chan's consent, Zhuge Liang directly sent troops to the Northern Expedition.

Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition took place in the Battle of Chibi in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), and was one of the main scenes in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It not only shows the superb wisdom of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, but also the reason why "Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu" can become a big battle. Cao Cao's troops were all landlubbers and were not accustomed to water warfare.

In order to increase his combat effectiveness, Cao Cao appointed two of Liu Biao's generals, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, as commanders of the naval army. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the description of the Battle of Chibi can be said to be very exciting, although there are some discrepancies with history, but it is very good from the perspective of listening to the story.

<> Cao Cao's concealment before the leak, he put all the ships together because he infiltrated the spy. However, even if Cao Cao didn't see it, didn't so many of Cao Cao's subordinates see this intention? Can this plot happen?

Let me introduce it to you. The history of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms begins in 220 AD and ends in 280 AD. In 220, Cao Pi usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor of the Han Dynasty.

He took Luoyang as his capital and called his kingdom Wei.

Jiang Gan was an inferior tactician. Perhaps because he had been disliked in Cao's camp for a long time, in order to curry favor with Cao Cao, he voluntarily went to Wu to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. If Zhou Yu betrayed at this critical moment, the Wu camp would be defeated without a fight and fall into chaos.

Of course, Cao Cao couldn't agree, so why not?

Although Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition was not the official start of the search of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu, it was the most important battle of the Three Kingdoms. After this battle, Sun Quan consolidated his land, and Liu Bei of Hongqing occupied Jingzhou and then Sichuan, and the situation of tripartite confrontation really took shape. In ** "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sun Liu joined forces and attacked with fire on the Yangtze River to eliminate Cao Cao's 200,000 troops, which is indeed a classic battle of winning more with less.
