Zhong Hui is the son of Zhong You, a teacher. He has been appreciated by many great people since he was a child (Zhong Hui's calligraphy was still circulated in the Tang Dynasty).
Zhong Hui was very knowledgeable under the instruction of Zhong You, and consulted Sima Yi for many times. He successively held the posts of knowing secrets in the code and being a captain in the official department. In the process of Sima Yi Group's seizure of state affairs, it made many contributions and became Sima Yi's cronies. It makes Zhong Hui arrogant and arrogant, thinking that there is nothing he can't do.
Zhong Hui and Wargo are two extremely contrasting examples. Wargo and Zhong Hui are talented or equal, but Wargo was born in a poor family and treated people with humility and courtesy. Zhong Hui, on the other hand, is different. Although the scholar's character still exists, he bears a grudge against Wargo for crossing his line everywhere. When Si Mazhao came to power, he sent two men to attack Shu at the same time, and he also had the ability to judge them according to this matter. However, it is really surprising that Wargo made a surprise attack and went straight to the capital of Shu. However, Zhong Hui met Jiang Wei, the general of Shu, and the two sides were deadlocked.
The battle against Shu was the climax of Zhong Hui's life and the trap of his complete failure.
in the third year of Jingyuan (262), Zhong Hui was ordered by Si Mazhao to take an army of 1, troops and attack Shu. Soon after the army went out, he killed Xu Yi, the pioneer, in order to make a stand. Xu Yi, the son of Xu Chu, a famous soldier and minister, is quite prestigious. Such people are not necessarily killed, but there must always be suitable opportunities and sufficient reasons. Zhong Hui charged Xu Yi that he was a pioneer and didn't do a good job of bridging and paving the road, so that his horseshoe got stuck in the pit when crossing the bridge and almost had an accident. Punishing generals for petty reasons and personal unhappiness gives soldiers a sense of willfulness and meanness. The coach broke his promise to the army and started here.
When Zhong Hui led an army to attack Jiange, Jiang Wei stumbled, and the main forces of the two sides were intertwined. However, a much smaller army led by Wargo got the opportunity to take risks and attack Chengdu, and Liu Chan, the Lord of Shu, went out of the city to surrender. Jiang Wei was helpless and surrendered to Zhong Hui. Wargo took the lead, and Zhong Hui was deeply unhappy, so he reported to Si Mazhao that Wargo was proud of himself and wanted to rebel. Si Mazhao didn't want to offend Zhong Hui, who was heavily armed at this time, and agreed to let him arrest Wargo and escort him back to the DPRK with a prison car. It is obviously out of self-interest, so it is difficult to convince people, and the anxiety in the army is further growing.
Together, the Wei Jun and the generals from Sichuan in this clock club have nearly 2, people. He felt the brilliance and great energy he had never seen before, and wanted to taste the taste of being above the world; If it doesn't work out, you can always be a Liu Bei in Shu. At this time, Jiang Wei's idea was to use him to create chaos and look for opportunities to restore the Shu regime, so he tried his best to seduce him to rebel. So the clock will be moved. In fact, it is impossible for the Shu army to truly return to him; Wei Jun fought for a long time, and the soldiers were bent on going home, and it was impossible to rebel with him willingly. An army that looks very lively is actually just an illusion.
Zhong will continue to make mistakes. After he decided to rebel, he worried that his generals would not try their best, locked them all up under the pretext of a meeting, kept them under strict guard, and then sent his cronies to take over the armies. The relationship between the military and the subordinate has a certain historical origin, so chaos will inevitably lead to great chaos.
As long as there is only one person to light the fire, the bell will be ready for himself, that is, General Wei Hu Lie. When reporting the rebellion against Wargo, Zhong Hui signed a letter with Hu Lie, which means that they have been closely tied together in their interests. But Zhong Hui even trusted Hu Lie and locked him up. Hu Lie is extremely angry, and as a person who knows the clock, he also knows the danger of the situation. He got a chance to send a message to his son, asking him to spread a terrible rumor: Zhong Hui has sent someone to dig a big pit, and all officers above the intermediate level will be executed and buried in the pit.
Hu Lie's son Hu Yuan launched a mutiny. How appealing can this 18-year-old boy be? The key is that the whole army is angry and resentful, and the people are out of control. As a result, both Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei died at the hands of mutinous soldiers.
Jiang Wei pretended to surrender to Zhong Hui, but secretly encouraged Zhong Hui to support his troops and stand on his own feet, calling himself Yizhou Pastoral to rebel against Si Mazhao. Zhong Hui took advantage of the power of the DPRK, easily pocketed Wargo's victory, framed Wargo's rebellion and killed him in prison. It can be seen that Zhong Hui is ruthless, decisive and ambitious. However, due to rebellion, Zhong Hui was also killed by the generals of Wei.
