First of all, there is nothing to say about talent. He is a talented boy, proficient in calligraphy, well-read, skilled in writing and martial arts, with a pocket on his chest.
Secondly, I don't have to say my ambition. By speculating Sima Jia, he gained the trust of Sima Shi and Si Mazhao, gained the important position of cutting Shu, and gained the relieving power. Wargo attacked Chengdu, Liu Chan surrendered, and Jiang Wei, who stood on the front line, surrendered to Zhong Hui, which provoked Zhong Hui to crusade against Wargo and become king in Shu. This is exactly what Zhong Hui wants. Unfortunately, Si Mazhao is also extraordinary, and Zhong will eventually be defeated and die.
I mainly talk about the performance of Zhong Hui's attack on Shu in the later period of Cao Wei. Zhong Hui was one of the proponents and strategists of cutting Shu, and Si Mazhao entrusted him with an army. According to legend, Zhong dreamed of Zhuge Wuhou, so the military progress began to slow down.
Personally, this is actually Zhong Hui's attempt to emulate Sima Yi. As we can see from the history books, Zhong Hui is basically a little Sima Yi, who was arrogant in his early years, "helping the strong and eliminating the weak" and then United front. Along the way, they are very similar. I guess Zhong Hui must have regarded Jiang Wei as the second Zhuge Liang, and the two men constantly strengthened their military control in the battle. However, Zhong Hui didn't expect two points.
First, how did Sima Jia rise? Can Sima Yi's two sons not know? You obviously doubt your delay in cutting Shu. So even if Zhong Hui didn't object to Sima Shi later, Sima Shi wouldn't let him feel better. Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei hit it off and each got his place.
Second, Zhong Hui didn't think that Wargo was so crazy and Liu Chan was so weak. Wargo launched a surprise attack on the level playing field. At that time, almost all the Shu army and food were supplied to Jiang Wei. Zhuge Zhan made a final resistance, but was defeated and killed. Liu Chan has no support, and it is impossible to persist for too long without surrendering. Surrender is a wise choice. However, it failed Zhong Hui's dream of self-esteem.
In fact, Zhong Hui's death lies not in his ambition, but in his ability. After all, when Wei's power was improved by the Sima family, he was too much of a threat to Si Mazhao. Si Mazhao has always been deeply afraid of Zhong Hui. He appreciates Zhong Hui's talent, but he can't trust him, so from beginning to end, Zhong Hui can't be the confidant of Sima's family.
