83 years after Jiang Wei's death, a 23-character secret file was found in Chengdu, solving the mystery of the Three Kingdoms throughout the ages
People familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms know that in 234 AD, after Zhuge Liang's death, he inherited his will to continue the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, not Zhuge Liang's son, but Zhuge Liang's foreign heir Jiang Wei. There is a lot of controversy about Jiang Wei. 83 years after his death, a 23-character secret archive was discovered in Chengdu, revealing the mystery of the Three Kingdoms.
Jiang Wei was born in 202. He is from Tianshuiji County. He is 21 years younger than Zhuge Liang. In terms of age, he is of the younger generation. However, although Jiang Wei is not as famous as Zhuge Liang, he also has practical combat ability, which can be said to be both literary and martial arts, Zhuge Liang commented that "Jiang Boyu is loyal to current affairs, thoughtful, and examines everyone, Yongnan and Ji Chang are not as good as him." ”
But Jiang Wei's luck was not very good. He began to work under Cao Wei. When Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan in 228 AD, various places responded to the Shu army. Jiang Wei was inexplicably suspected by Cao Wei. Jiang Wei had no choice but to surrender to Zhuge Liang and come to the Shu Han camp.
After Jiang Wei arrived in Shu Han, his luck did not improve. Zhuge Liang died before he sent his troops. Jiang Wei became the general of Zhenxi and led the liangzhou assassination history. He pacified the Yi clan and Xi Ping successively. He also wanted to appease the Qiang hu and attract them to be used by the Shu Han court. As a result, he was suppressed by non-friends who advocated rest and maintenance of striking soldiers. He deliberately suppressed Jiang Wei's "belligerence".
In 253 AD, Fei Yi was assassinated, and Jiang Wei took full control of the Shu Han army and began the "Nine Cuts of the Central Plains". In this process, although Jiang Wei defeated the Wei dynasty general Xu Qian and successively broke through Hejian, Heguan, and Lintao, he still did not shake the foundation of Cao Wei. In addition, there was also a civil unrest in Shu that of Huang Hao. In order to avoid disaster, Jiang Wei had to choose to go to Zhengzhong Tuntian.
It turns out that Jiang Wei did not kill Huang Hao, which shortened Shu's life. When Sima Zhao sent Zhong Hui and Deng Ai to attack Shu, Huang Hao tried to whitewash Taiping and make Liu Chan not take their attack seriously. It wasn't until Deng Ai stole Yin Ping and went around behind Jiang Wei of the Sword Pavilion to surround Chengdu that Liu Chan panicked.
Liu Chan chose to surrender and ordered Jiang Wei to surrender. Jiang Wei's soldiers were angry, but they still couldn't help it. Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui. Whether Jiang Wei really surrendered or fake surrendered this time has become a mystery of the Three Kingdoms. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Jiang Wei said that he was pretending to surrender, but in fact he was looking for an opportunity to restore the country.
In history, after Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui, he really inspired Zhong Hui to resist. As a result, Zhong was killed by his soldiers, and Jiang Wei died as a result. Jiang Wei's loyalty to the Shu state in history is touching. Back to history itself, the mystery of whether Jiang Wei really surrendered was solved by posterity 83 years after his death.
In 346 AD, the Eastern Jin Dynasty opened an army to destroy the Later Han regime of the Western Shu Dynasty and enter Chengdu. After Sun Sheng, a general of constant temperature, entered the palace, he found a secret file in the palace archives, which had only 23 words on it: "May Your Majesty endure humiliation and burden for a few days, may the ministers live and work in peace and contentment, and may the sun and moon be gloomy and dark." ”
& This is Jiang Wei in Shu Han.
This is a book that Jiang Wei secretly gave to Liu Chan after Shu Han's death. At this point, the mystery of Jiang Wei was unveiled. At that time, he really surrendered with false feelings and sincerely repaid the country. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to take that risk. This also proves that the record of Chen Shou, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is true. At that time, both Wei and Wu had historical officials, but there were no historical officials in Shuzhong. Chen Shou is a historical material that he worked in Shudi and collected by himself. This secret file says exactly the same as Chen Shou's records.
