Jiang Wan
The next year, the General in Chief Jiang Wan wanted to start an invasion of Wei via an alternative route and he named Wang Ping as the Vanguard Protector of the Army (前護軍). Jiang Wan was also given Wang Ping responsibility to manage his office affairs and staff. In 243, however due to his poor health, Jiang Wan had to abandon his plan for a large campaign against Wei and relocate his base to Fu County (涪縣; present-day Mianyang, Sichuan) yet he did promote Wang Ping to Vanguard Supervisor of the Army (前監軍) and Senior General Who Guards the North (鎮北大將軍).
