After the Kingdom of Shu was officially conquered, there was still a glimmer of hope for restoration, and that was through the use of Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui had already had the idea of ??rebelling against Wei and proclaiming himself king, and Shu was the best opportunity. But why could Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei still fail to save Shu? Zhong Hui and Wei Yan had already worked together to save Shu. Deng Ai's big bone was chewed off, but something went wrong and Zhong Hui was killed. However, this kind of Shu Kingdom will definitely not last long, and at most it will linger on.
When the Three Kingdoms entered the later stage, the most attractive part was the destruction of the Shu Han Dynasty. The successor Liu Chan guarded Shu, a geomantic treasure land that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It turned out to be the first to fall among the Three Kingdoms, which is really full of doubts.
Originally, Sima Zhao's decision to conquer Shu was not a war to destroy the country against the Shu Han. He simply wanted to divert the fierce domestic political struggle against the Sima family. As a result, Deng Ai's all-out effort made the Shu Han Caught off guard, the emperor surrendered without a fight and suddenly had to take over a foreign emperor and a foreign region, and Sima Zhao was not prepared.
However, for Deng Ai, happiness came too suddenly, and his various performances in Shu were too arrogant, which also paved the way for his future death. The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows, and soon Deng Ai is killed by Zhong Hui, the "oriole".
Zhong Hui is different from Deng Ai. Deng Ai is just the expansion of a villain's success, but Zhong Hui is really self-reliant. Here I will give a brief introduction to the character Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui (225-264), courtesy name Shi Ji, was an important minister and calligrapher of Cao Wei in the late Three Kingdoms period. He was the youngest son of Taifu Zhong Yao. He was a second-generation official and received a good education from an early age. Moreover, he has been quick-thinking and proficient in everything since he was a child. He grew up with the praise of his elders.
Having had smooth sailing since childhood, he would naturally have more extravagant hopes for power. After entering Shu, he naturally couldn't see the achievements of Deng Ai, the "mud-legged man", so he felt jealous.
He hit it off with Jiang Wei of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the two of them tricked Deng Ai together. Jiang Wei was also a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. The two of them cherished each other and started to form a CP. We started eating, living and riding in the same car together, and we became like the same person.
At this time, Jiang Wei was very good at catering to Zhong Hui's psychology. He tried his best to encourage Zhong Hui to stand on his own in Shu and resist Sima Zhao. In fact, Sichuan was indeed a difficult place to win back then. But the generals are here to fight. You will definitely not let people abandon their wives and children to live with you here, so Jiang Wei advised Zhong Hui to kill all these generals, but Zhong Hui couldn't bear it and just killed them all. Under house arrest.
Zhong Hui imprisoned them in various government offices in Yizhou and sent troops to guard them closely. Zhong Hui had an important subordinate named Qiu Jian, who was Hu Lie's former kinsman. He told Zhong Hui that he should send a close associate to serve Hu Lie with food and water. Other generals also said that we also need personal soldiers to serve him. In this way, Zhong Hui The meeting actually allowed these generals' men to come in and deliver meals to the generals, so there was no point in catching these generals.
Hu Lie took the opportunity to make up a lie and said that Zhong Hui had dug a big pit and wanted to beat the generals to death with wooden sticks one by one and throw them into it. As a result, the soldiers began to spread the news by word of mouth and people were panicked. Later, all the general's subordinates rushed to the imperial city to save their leader.
Only then did Zhong Hui react, and he immediately ordered these generals to be executed immediately. However, people are extremely powerful at the moment of life and death. The generals in the room worked together to resist the door panel. Zhong Hui’s men I can't open the door even if I keep hacking away at it.
At this moment, the generals' men arrived. Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui could only fight with a small number of troops, but both of them died in the rebellion.
If Zhong Hui could have listened to Jiang Wei's opinion, it is estimated that the history of the Three Kingdoms would have been rewritten again if he had not shown "women's kindness" at the critical moment.
