计收姜维

计收姜维

　　守卫天水郡的魏国大将姜维，文武双全智有勇有谋。诸葛亮想收姜维为自己的助手。他得知姜维是个孝子，其母住在冀城，便想出一条计策：命魏延虚张声势打冀城，姜维得知消息，便请兵杀回冀城救母。诸葛亮又派俘将夏侯杼木带兵前往冀城劝姜维投降。夏侯懋走到半路，听老百姓说姜维已献城降蜀，他只好往天水郡来。夏侯懋进城，把姜维已投降蜀兵的消息告诉了天水郡守城官兵。深夜，诸葛亮让人假扮姜维打天水郡。守城官兵更认定姜维降蜀是事实了。

　　姜维苦守冀城，粮草缺乏。一日带兵劫粮，蜀兵乘虚取冀城。姜维失城只好向天水郡逃去。天水郡众将，误认姜维已经投降，不准他进城。姜维无奈落荒而去。走不到数里，诸葛亮乘车而出，姜维见自己陷入重重包围之中，便下马投降了诸葛亮。
