In AD 263 (Shuhan Jingyao six years), Deng Ai, the general of the Wei Kingdom, successfully smuggled into Yinping and came all the way to Chengdu.
At the critical moment, Liu Chan sent Zhuge Liang's eldest son Zhuge Zhan to lead his troops to resist.
Zhuge Zhan, who had no previous war experience, was not the opponent of the battle-hardened Deng Ai, and died in the final battle in Mianzhu .
Zhuge Zhan's son Zhuge Shang , Zhang Fei 's grandson Zhang Zun , Huang Quan's son Huang Chong and other important generals of Shu Han also died in battle.
After this war, Liu Shan surrendered and Shu Han perished.
According to the records in "Maps of Yuanhe County" (a geography monograph compiled in the Tang Dynasty) , Zhuge Zhan once said this sentence before fighting Deng Ai:
I do not exclude Huang Hao , I have three sins if I don't make Jiangwei from outside, and if I don't keep Jiangyou in.
Zhuge Zhan expounded his three sins in this sentence, the second of which is thought-provoking, he regards Jiang Wei as a political enemy.
As we all know, Jiang Wei was one of Zhuge Liang's designated successors. At the time, this was recognized by all the Jingzhou factions within the of the Shuhan regime.
Since Jiang Wei took over the military power of Shu Han, everything he has done is also to fulfill Zhuge Liang's unfulfilled wish, namely "Northern Expedition to Central Plains, Revival of Han Dynasty" .
In this regard, within the Shuhan regime, the least should be hostile to Jiang Wei are the descendants of Zhuge Liang.
In the notes written by the Eastern Jin historian Sun Sheng , it is also written that Zhuge Zhan once wanted to deprive of Jiang Wei's military power and replace it with Yan Yu, the governor of Yong'an.
"Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Dong Jue" (attached to the biography of Zhuge Liang, similar to the biography of Zhuge Zhan) is recorded in the note:
Sun Sheng's similarities and differences: Zhan, Jue, etc. have been belligerent and failed to maintain domestic fatigue. , called him back as the prefect of Yizhou , and seized his military power; the elders of Shu still expressed their stories with Yan Yu . The records in
and "Yuanhe County Map Chronicles" are confirmed by two evidences. It is probably known that Zhuge Zhan really dislikes Jiang Wei, and has already put Jiang Wei into the cold palace.
Zhuge Liang's son is hostile to Zhuge Liang's successor, which is difficult for fans of the Three Kingdoms fans who love the Shuhan regime.
Why does Zhuge Zhan dislike Jiang Wei, who always adheres to the concept of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition ?
According to records, Zhuge Zhan's attempt to deprive Jiang Wei of his military power occurred in AD 262 (the fifth year of Jingyao of Shuhan).
At this time, Zhuge Zhan has been gradually promoted to a high position. A year ago, he began to jointly control the government with Dong Jue , "Three Kingdoms: Zhuge Zhan Biography" records:
Jingyao For four years, he served as the guard general of Xingdu, and worked with Dongjue of Nanxiang Hou, the general of Fuguo.
Dong Jue (Jingzhou native) is an old man who started working for Shu Han when Zhuge Liang was still alive. Judging from his age, he is almost sixty years old.
And Zhuge Zhan was in his thirties at the time.
Therefore, Zhuge Zhan will be the real ruler of the Shuhan regime in the future, and Dong Jue will only play a role of helping.
Only as Zhuge Liang's only biological son, Zhuge Zhan can't make a detour. He has a very high reputation among Shu Han folks. . Every imperial court has a good deed of good governance. Although it was not initiated by Zhan, the common people said: "What Gehou did." At the same time, the Jingzhou faction in the Shuhan regime would try to push Zhuge Zhan to the top.
Liu Shan would not object either. Although he did not like Zhuge Liang's monopoly of power, he also knew that he could not do without the Jingzhou faction.
For Liu Chan, it is nothing more than using people like Huang Hao to check and balance. As long as there are no officials who cannot be restrained, he will definitely use the Jingzhou faction to govern.
With the joint efforts of all parties, it is only a matter of time before Zhuge Zhan reaches the peak of his life.
At this time, Zhuge Zhan may already be thinking about his future governance. He suggested depriving Jiang Wei of his military power because his ideas were different from Jiang Wei's. What is the concept of
? Jiang Wei is the main fighting faction of the Northern Expedition, which is Zhuge Liang's wish, but Zhuge Zhan is not the main fighting faction, he does not agree with the Northern Expedition.
When Zhuge Zhan, quoted above, suggested depriving Jiang Wei of his military power, the reason used was:
This is the same as what Liao Hua said when he opposed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition at that time "'If a soldier does not fight, he will set himself on fire'. reason.
Zhuge Zhan believes that Jiang Wei's desperate northern expedition has exhausted the national strength of Shuhan, coupled with Liao Hua's reaction, this is already a strong consensus within the Shuhan regime.
In addition, Zhuge Zhan suggested that the candidate to replace Jiang Wei is Yan Yu (from Jingzhou).
According to the personal experience of Yan Yu recorded in historical books, he has served successively as the governor of Shuhan Yujiang and the governor of Yongan.
These two places are responsible for the military of Shuhan in the southern and central regions, and the military in the direction of Soochow , which is mainly defensive.
Therefore, Yan Yu is a typical defensive general.
Zhuge Zhan wanted to use Yan Yu in exchange for Jiang Wei, who was at the border of Shu and Wei, and his intention was self-evident.
Therefore, the national policy that Zhuge Zhan will implement in the future is defensive, and there will be no northern expedition.
Perhaps, Zhuge Zhan still adheres to his father Zhuge Liang's philosophy deep in his heart, but the actual situation of Shu Han does not allow him to be like Zhuge Liang.
Jiang Wei led the battle, and Zhuge Zhan led the truce. This is the fundamental reason why Zhuge Zhan regarded Jiang Wei as a political enemy.
As for whether Jiang Wei and Zhuge Zhan can work together? I personally feel that it is impossible, Jiang Wei's obsession with the Northern Expedition is too deep, unless Zhuge Zhan supports him.
But within the Shuhan regime at that time, the voices against the Northern Expedition had already surpassed the voices for the Northern Expedition.
Even veterans like Liao Hua have stood up to oppose it. If Zhuge Zhan wants to govern smoothly, he must not go his own way.
Jiang Wei could not be changed, Zhuge Zhan could not support it, and the contradiction between the two was irreconcilable.
Of course, another point is that Zhuge Zhan is in charge, and military power cannot be left to a general like Jiang Wei, who is difficult to check and balance, and he must be able to control it himself.
However, all of Zhuge Zhan's ideas and plans were too late to implement, and Jiang Wei didn't need to worry about how to deal with Zhuge Liang's son who came to the front desk.
Because, in the second year after Zhuge Zhan proposed to deprive Jiang Wei of his military power, the army of Wei State came.
At this moment, Jiang Wei and Zhuge Zhan could only fight for the life and death of Shu Han with all their strength, until they both died.

Remarks: The "Yuanhe County Map Chronicles" in the "Yuanhe County Map Chronicles" records Zhuge Zhan's own three sins, which have not been seen in more According to historical materials, the book was written during the Tang Xianzong period of the Tang Dynasty, more than 500 years after the Three Kingdoms period.
