Chapter 2569 The death of Jiang Wei

Jiang Wei fought a war for a lifetime, and this was the first time that such a defeat happened today. Although he had been defeated repeatedly before, he had never encountered a crisis of destruction. Most of the time, he could retreat calmly and even just retreat shortly after retreating, he could be resurrected, regain his strength, and then go out to Qishan.

But this time, his failure in Wuyangdao caused Jiang Wei to suffer a complete failure in his life, with a total of 40,000, almost suffering a devastating heavy blow. The power of the Wei cavalry really allowed him to experience it.

The cavalry camp was blocked and killed all the way, invincible. The exhausted Shu army could not resist at all and surrendered one after another. There was no force in the entire valley to stop the Wei cavalry from advancing.

Seeing the Wei army approaching, the generals around Jiang Wei were a little anxious and advised Jiang Wei to evacuate quickly, otherwise if the Wei army approached, there would be no chance of getting up again.

Although there were not many war horses in the Shu army, there was no big problem with gathering hundreds of horses. I hope the infantry would definitely not be able to escape, so Jiang Wei's subordinates advised Jiang Wei to take the cavalry away and leave the infantry to cut off the rear.

Jiang Wei shook his head gently. If there was no army, what's the point of Jiang Wei returning to Chengdu?

You should know that the reason why Jiang Wei can suppress Huang Hao, who is powerful and able to suppress the opposition ministers in the court is because Jiang Wei holds the power of the troops?

If Jiang Wei had only fled back to Chengdu with hundreds of cavalry and faced the enemies in the court, he might have become the fish on the chopping board and slaughtered.

Therefore, for Jiang Wei, even if he can really escape, it will be meaningless. A general who leads the army will be like a tiger without minions. It is a sign of being a good example, but it is vulnerable.

Over the years, Jiang Wei has been in a state of war and has had a deep grudge with the people in the court. Everyone can build a hill on the dragon case of Liu Chan just by impeaching Jiang Wei. Not to mention that Jiang Wei can get Liu Chan's great value. What really makes Liu Chan fear is the military power in Jiang Wei's hands.

If Liu Chan wants to deal with Jiang Wei, he must first consider whether he will become Cao Mao. Although Jiang Wei is relatively loyal, this kind of loyalty is not without a bottom line. Once Liu Chan touches Jiang Wei's bottom line, then loyal ministers are likely to become powerful ministers, or even conspiring to rebel. Although Liu Chan is not good at everything in civil and military affairs, he still knows the skills of emperors. Wu Wei's previous lessons made him dare not easily touch this bad luck.

But if Jiang Wei loses military power, it will definitely be a different scene. Once Jiang Wei returns to Chengdu like this, he may not even have any bones left.

Jiang Wei knew that he had many enemies in the court. Huang Hao alone hated him so much that he gritted his teeth, wishing he could eat his flesh and sleep his skin, and fell into the hands of these people, even worse than that of the Wei army.

As for surrendering to the Wei army, this was not within Jiang Wei's consideration. The reason why Jiang Wei was willing to surrender to Shu was that he could only be a minor official in Wei State and was depressed and unsuccessful. The second was that he was grateful for Zhuge Liang's sincerity, so he resolutely surrendered to Shu State.

In fact, for Jiang Wei, he did not have any sense of identity with Wei. When Jiang Wei surrendered to Shu, Wei State had only been established for eight years. The Wei State was self-reliant, and the people in the world all had a sense of resistance. His ancestors were Han people for generations. Now, Cao Pi established Wei State, how could he easily convince the public?

This is also an important reason why Zhuge Liang hurriedly raised the banner of the Northern Expedition and shouted the slogan of restoring the Han Dynasty. At that time, people in the Central Plains still had a complex of thinking about the Han Dynasty, and the Northern Expedition was the easiest to succeed. As time went by, the birth of a new generation of population was determined and people became more and more belonging to the Wei State, and the concept of the Han Dynasty would gradually be destroyed. At that time, the hope of restoring the country would become even more slim.

Jiang Wei abandoned Wei and surrendered to Shu before thirty-five years later. If he abandoned Shu and surrendered to Wei, then what kind of person would Jiang Wei become? A fickle and jumping back and forth villain. If such a thing is recorded in history, Jiang Wei's backbone will probably be slaughtered by future generations.

For Jiang Wei, Chengdu could not go back, and it was impossible to surrender to Wei. Therefore, only by dying can he preserve his reputation and make his reputation spread throughout the world.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei's frowning brows became relaxed again. Yes, what else can't be seen when the people who are over 60 years old and have the loess buried on their necks?

Nothing to be happy in life, no fear of death. Your life in this life is already wonderful enough. You stand at the highest peak below one person and see the most beautiful scenery, what else can you ask for?

If there is still a little regret, it is that although Jiang Wei tried his best, he still failed to realize his mentor Zhuge Liang's wish. He defeated the Central Plains in Nine Expeditions, and now he is unable to save the last territory of Shu Kingdom.

"Prime Minister, Wei is guilty of you..." Jiang Wei murmured to himself. When he thought that he would face Zhuge Liang in the underworld, Jiang Wei felt a little inexplicable throbbing, but he tried his best and really did his best. Jiang Wei spent his whole life to fulfill Zhuge Liang's dying instructions. Although this result was disappointing, Jiang Wei could have a clear conscience.

Just like Zhuge Liang at the time, he knew he could not do it, but only wanted to repay Liu Bei's three-game look, and he persisted in his work for one goal until his death. Zhuge Liang was true, and so did Jiang Wei.

At this moment, the Wei cavalry was gradually approaching, and there was only a distance of less than a hundred feet away from Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei glanced at him and said calmly to his subordinates: "Today's matter is urgent. Only by dying can one repay the Prime Minister's kindness. You don't have to follow me. After you die, you can surrender. The Wei army treats surrender very favorably. You have no worries about your wealth and life."

Seeing that Jiang Wei was determined to die, his subordinates knelt down and cried, "The General should not seek short-sightedness."

Jiang Wei said in a deep voice: "My intention has been decided, so don't say much." After that, Jiang Wei retreated his subordinates and climbed a nearby high ground alone.

At this time, the sunset was setting, and the sunset was burning like fire, and the mountains were dyed red by the bloody sunset. Jiang Wei looked into the distance and looked into the direction of Chengdu. Unfortunately, the sky was vast, and Jiang Wei rarely saw the scenery of the imperial capital.

He slowly pulled out the sword he had been wearing for decades, and a bloody light was reflected on the sharp blade. Jiang Wei shouted to the sky: "Planning is for people, and success is for heaven. If you don't protect your destiny, what can you do? Prime Minister, Jiang Wei is here!" After saying that, Jiang Wei waved his sword without hesitation to commit suicide, allowing his blood to be completely integrated with the blood of the sunset.
