"Out smarted Zhuge Liang"
Never happened.
"As well as defeating Two Famous Wei Officers In battle."
Only Zhong Hui springs to mind.
His Merits are worthy of Our praise.

Jiang Wei dualed Zhao Yun and got a draw,
Nope. There are only two documented duels of the era. Taishi Ci vs Sun Ce(Draw), and Lü Bu vs Guo Si(Lu Bu won, but didn't manage to kill Guo, who was rescued by his men)

@zhugeliang207 Also, Liu Shan gave Jiang Wei full support militarily, so he can't be blamed for Jiang Wei being an utter failure.
If anything, Liu Shan surrendering before the crushing power of the Wei army(which even if initially beaten, now could effectively get people to Chengdu since Hanzhong was surrendered to them) was the smartest thing to do.

Shu was just as "evil" and crafty as Wei, Liu Bei particularly so. Wei had a more talented leader and a much greater amount of great generals, though.
-
With a better commander in chief, Shu could have defended a lot longer.
Tthey might have fallen to Jin after it took Wu... But even that is up for argument. An alliance with the the many tribes around Shu and in the North, or as well as the Koreans could've fended that off.
At least Zhuge was cost-effective in his campaigns.

Actually, no. Jiang Wei's costly advances north was the main reason Shu was weakened. That, and removing the the fortifications at Hanzhong(which were more or less impossible to get past) based on the thought that he would cause a bigger defeat in a full on open battle... despite having lost NINE campaign full of that kind of battle against the very person he knew was leading the enemy. Jiang Wei was a bloody idiot.

@shw1ft Shu stood for... I wanna be ruler not you.
They were on their knees after he committed suicide. He was such a great general. However, it was heaven's will that Shu couldn't win the war

Jiang Wei commited sucide after the wei soilders surrounded him. So to respect his pride he didnt want to die from the enemies hands and killed himself!
