十九年春，進姜維位為大將軍，督戎馬，與鎮西將軍胡濟期會上邽，濟失誓不至。 In the spring of 256 Jiang Wei was promoted to grand general and took command of the field armies; he and Hu Ji, general who guards the west, had agreed to meet at Shanggui, but Hu Ji never came.

秋八月，維為魏大將軍鄧艾所破於上邽。 That eighth month Deng Ai, grand general of Wei, defeated him at Shanggui.

維退軍還成都。 Jiang Wei pulled the army back to Chengdu.

二十年，聞魏大將軍諸葛誕據壽春以叛，姜維復率眾出駱谷，至芒水。 In 257, when word came that Zhuge Dan of Wei had risen at Shouchun, Jiang Wei drove through the Lu Valley again and reached Mangshui.

景耀元年，姜維還成都。 In 258 Jiang Wei was back in Chengdu.

是歲，姜維復率眾出侯和，為鄧艾所破，還住沓中。 The same year Jiang Wei tried another sortie at Hehe; Deng Ai broke him, and he fell back to garrison Tazhong.
