Jiang Wei kept the title of Zhuge Liang's disciple, but why can't he save the day for Shu?

To put it simply, Jiang Wei is not as clever as Zhuge Liang, and strategically he has no interest with the people. But continued to expand abroad and sent troops to attack Wei many times, which led to what we later knew as Jiang Wei's nine attacks on the Central Plains.

To tell the truth, Jiang Wei has been designated by Zhuge Liang as his future successor, but in fact, neither IQ nor force value is very prominent, which can only be said to make people shine. There may be many such talents in Shu, and I don't know how Zhuge Liang positioned him as his successor at that time.

Although Jiang Wei appeared in the back, he was described a lot, especially when he joined the army later. He went out to defeat the enemy many times, but he did not make great achievements. Instead, he delayed the advance of Liu Bei's army. Therefore, in the eyes of many novelists, he not only failed to achieve, but helped Liu Bei's career. His procrastination is regarded as "unfair" by many people. This makes it difficult for people to evaluate him.

In fact, after Zhuge Liang's death, if Jiang Wei is smart enough, he should immediately change the strategy of external expansion and gather national strength! But he didn't do it. His so-called "Nine Cutting Down the Central Plains" is nothing more than using tactical improvement to cover up strategic defects, which is tantamount to stealing the bell.
