Jiang Ji (onyomi: Shō Sai) is a minister of Wei who served Cao Cao and his descendants. He was famed for the ability to tell a person's character with a single glance and for his love of wine. He later joined the Sima family in their rise to power.
Role in Games
Jiang Ji is a minor officer in the Dynasty Warriors games, who appears in mid to late battles for Wei but usually Hefei. He is last seen at Liaodong but never sees the rise of the Jin dynasty or Sima Yi's coup unlike his historical counterpart.
Within the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, Jiang Ji is a character possessing good stats in politics and intelligence thought lacking somewhat in charisma rendering him somewhat an incomplete domestic oriented officer. He is present usually in Wei roughly after the Battle of Chibi.
In the fourteenth installment of the series, Jiang Ji traits favour domestic affairs as Cultured will increase the rate population rises in areas he is assigned as overseer while Wise and Insightful will increase the frequency of suggestions he makes and increase the success of recruitments respectively. If deployed for battle, Jiang Ji's trait Famed Mirror will shorten the period officer suffer from the disorder status, but conversely his other battle related trait, Vicious Drinker will cut the ability of his unit should their supply be cut. Jiang Ji is noteworthy for being a member of Sima Yi's army for the scenario, "The Start of Change" which depicts the events leading up to the Incident at Gaoping Tombs. He is also present in Sima Yi's faction for the fictional scenario "Gathering of Heroes".

Historical Information
Well-known throughout the region of Huai River, Jiang Ji offered his services to Wei and became an official. He was dubbed "Marquis of Guannei" during Cao Rui's reign. When Cao Xiu sought to attack Wu after falling for Zhou Fang's ruse, Jiang Ji opposed the plan on account of Zhu Ran's forces potentially cutting them off from the rear. His words fell on deaf ears resulting in Cao Xiu's defeat at Shiting.
Jiang Ji was soon promoted after Cao Fang became emperor. But by 249, he participated in Sima Yi's coup d'état to expel Cao Shuang and his brothers from their positions. He also helped ensure Cao Shuang's surrender by sending him a letter promising that he and his family would be spared. Unfortunately, he failed to convince Sima Yi from pardoning them, thus ending their lives. A few months after this incident, Jiang Ji passed away. Several passages in the Shiyu reveal that he felt guilty for not keeping his promise to Cao Shuang, causing his health to deteriorate completely.
