Zhong Hui (225-264) was born in Yingchuan Changshe (now Changgedong, Henan), the youngest son of Wei Taifu Zhong You, and the younger brother of Qingzhou secretariat Yu Zhong. He held an important position in the official residence of Wei State, was an important strategist and counselor of Wei State in the late Three Kingdoms period, and was a wise general who planned and participated in the war to destroy Shu. He is also a calligrapher. Zhong Hui was brilliant since he was a child and was appreciated by all the emperors and ministers. During Sima Shi's conquest of Wu, Zhong Huidian knew the secret. He also suggested that Si Mazhao stop Di Wei Cao's attempt to seize power. When the Zhuge Dan Rebellion was put down, Zhong Hui was ingenious and was compared to Sean, a counselor of the Western Han Dynasty. After being transferred to a captain, the court intervened in all affairs, and during his tenure, he offered a plan to kill the famous Ji Kang. In the first year of Jing Dynasty, Zhong Hui supported Si Mazhao's plan of cutting Shu alone, and was appointed as the general of Zhenxi, commanding all military affairs in Guanzhong during the holiday and presiding over cutting Shu. In the fourth year of Jingyuan (263), Wei destroyed the battle of Shu, and Zhong Hui and Deng Ai divided their forces to attack and destroy it.
Since then, Zhong Hui conspired with Jiang Wei, the governor, to stand on his own feet under Shu, so he suppressed his former colleague Wargo and plotted rebellion. Jiao Zhao rose up and crusaded against Si Mazhao in the name of Guo Tai's commandment. However, he failed because of the mutiny of his subordinates, and died in the disorderly army at the age of 40.
Ambition is arrogant and will eventually perish.
After Ping Shu, Zhong will have the heart of rebellion. Because Wargo is an expert, it is rebellious to write Wargo. At the same time, Wei Guan and He also wrote that Wargo had rebelled, so on the first day of the first month, the court ordered Wargo to be escorted back to Beijing in a prison van. Si Mazhao was afraid that Wargo would disobey orders and ordered Zhong Hui to March into Chengdu. Wei Guan of the prison army took the calligraphy and put Wargo on the prison car. Zhong is afraid of wargo. After Wargo was detained, Zhong Hui immediately rushed to Chengdu, led the army and marched westward. I think I am famous in the world, and I don't want to be inferior to others. In addition, all Athens' valiant soldiers were in their own hands, so they rebelled. Zhong Hui intends to send Jiang Wei to lead Shu soldiers out of the oblique valley to occupy Chang 'an, and then send cavalry and infantry to capture the world by land and water. Zhong Hui received a letter from Si Mazhao saying, "I'm worried that Wargo will disobey orders. Today, Jia Chong, the guardian of China, was sent to lead more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry into the inclined valley and stationed in Lecheng. I personally led a hundred thousand troops stationed in Chang 'an. We will meet again soon. After receiving the letter, Zhong Hui was shocked and said to his cronies, "As long as we catch Wargo, Guo Xiang knows I can do it alone. When he comes with an army, he is sure to find something different. We should start as soon as possible. If it goes well, it can win the world. If it doesn't go well, you can go back to Shu to learn Liu Bei's deviation angle. It is well known that I have never made any mistakes since the Huainan War. So successful, so famous, how can we have a good home? "Zhong Hui will arrive in Chengdu on the 15th day of the first month to see Wargo off first. On the 16th, the officers and men of the Shu army, the county magistrate, the riding officer of the yamen, and the old official were summoned to the Shu court to mourn for Queen Guo. And under the guise of the queen mother's commandment, he arose and abolished Si Mazhao. Zhong will ask all soldiers to write down their agreement on paper as proof, and appoint cronies to lead various armies. His soldiers didn't follow. So Zhong locked them all in Yizhou yamen and sent troops to guard them. Zhong Hui has an important subordinate named Qiu Jian, who belongs to Hu Lie. He told Zhong Hui that a close friend should be sent to provide Hu Lie with food and water, and the dentist should prepare an attendant as usual. Hu Lie took the opportunity to fabricate a lie, saying that Zhong Hui had dug a big pit and wanted to kill the generals one by one and bury them in the pit. " Qin Bing, the dental goalkeeper, also passed the rumor on from mouth to mouth. Everyone heard about it overnight, and people's hearts were floating. Someone suggested to Zhong Hui: "All officials riding on the yamen should be killed." Zhong hesitated. /kloc-at noon on 0/8, Hu Lie and Hu Lie's son went out to play drums, and all the soldiers were not there, so they all rushed to the door. At that time, Zhong Hui had just given Jiang Wei armor and weapons. When he heard that there was a mutiny outside, Zhong Hui was surprised to ask Jiang Wei what to do. Jiang Wei said, "But when the ear is hit." On the 18th day of the first month in the fifth year of Jingyuan (264), Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei mutinied and died at the age of forty. After the death of Zhong Hui, Wei Jun was unconstrained style. Within a few days, the troops of Shu lost money and died in chaos. Hundreds of soldiers died under the account of Zhong Hui. Jiang Wei's wife and children were killed. The former prince, general Zhang Yi, Seoul bodyguard, Jiang Xian, servant of the prince, and ministers of Shang Dynasty were also killed by the mutinous soldiers. Guan Jia was killed by Ponzi Pang Hui. Wargo's men caught up with the prison car and wanted to welcome Wargo back. Wei Guan ordered Tian Xu to kill Wargo and his son. Bian Shi and others were also killed. Because Wargo committed the crime of rebellion, Wargo's sons in Luoyang were also killed, and his wife and grandson were also exiled to Xicheng. After Wei Guanke made the generals, the chaos in Chengdu was flattened.
Zhong Hui is unmarried and has two sons. Zhong Yong was killed along with the rebellion of Zhong Hui. Zhong Yi, Zhong Hui's adopted son, and his nephews Zhong Jun and Zhong Kui are all imprisoned, so they should be sentenced to death. Si Mazhao wrote a letter on behalf of Wei Di Cao Huan, saying that bearing in mind the contributions of Zhong You and Yu Zhong, only the scholars of Zhong Yi and Zhong Yong were executed, and Zhong Jun and Zhong You were pardoned, and those with official titles remained unchanged. Si Mazhao and Zhong default to take men as generals.
