In the second year of Zhengyuan (255), no (Guà

Qiu Jian and Wen Qin rebelled in Huainan.

At that time, the general Sima Shi had a new eye tumor, and his body had not yet recovered. Most people in the imperial court thought that it was enough to let Taiwei Sima Fu go to quell the rebellion. Only Fu 嘏 (gǔ), Wang Su, and Zhong Hui strongly persuaded Sima Shi to personally conquer.

When Sima Shi was in charge of confidential matters with the army, General Wei Sima Zhao led the successor troops of the army.

Later, after Sima Shi died suddenly in Xuchang, Sima Zhao led the army and ordered Zhong Hui to strategize.

At that time, the imperial court issued an edict to Shangshu Fu Yan, on the grounds that the southeast had just been pacified, so that Sima Zhao stayed in Xuchang and was responsible for internal and external response, and Fu Zhao led the army back to the court.

Emperor Cao Chao (máo) of Wei wanted to regain Sima Zhao's military power. Zhong Hui conspired with Fu Zhao to let Fu Yan go to the table, set off with Sima Zhao, and retreated to the south of Luoshui to garrison the troops.

As a result, the imperial court had no choice but to take Sima Zhao as the general and auxiliary minister; With Zhonghui as the Huangmen squire, he sealed the Dongwu Pavilion Marquis, and there were 300 households.

In the second year of Ganlu (257), the imperial court appointed Zhuge as Sikong and recruited him to return to Beijing.

When Zhong Hui's mother was seriously ill and Zhong Hui was waiting beside him, his mother Zhang Changpu took Zhong Hui's hand and asked, "Son, why are you not interested in women?" For the sake of mothers, I'm worried. ”

Zhong Hui replied, "Don't worry, mother, my son is a phoenix." ”

Phoenix, also known as "Phoenix Emperor", the king of birds in ancient legends. The male is called "phoenix", and the female is called "phoenix". That is, Chung would reply to her mother, "I'm intersex." ”

Zhang Changpu listened to his son's words, sighed, and closed his eyes forever.

When his mother died and was mourning at home, Zhong Hui calculated that Zhuge would not obey his fate, so he galloped to report to Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao believes that the matter has come to this point and will not be corrected.

Later, Zhuge rebelled and sought reinforcements from Eastern Wu.

Sima Zhao led Emperor Wei to command an army of 260,000 in person, and the holy car stopped in Xiang County.

Sima Zhao led the army to Shouchun, and Zhong Hui accompanied him again.

…… ……

At that time, Quan Yi, Sun Quanduan, Quan Pian, and Quan Zhi, the sons of Sima Quancong, the right great Sima of Eastern Wu, led an army of 30,000 to rescue Zhuge Dan.

Quan Yi's elder brother's sons Quan Hui and Quan Yi stayed in Jianye, and because they got into a lawsuit, they crossed the river with their mother and dozens of Qubu and surrendered to Sima Zhao.

Zhong Hui designed to secretly write a letter for Quan Hui and Quan Yi, and sent Quan Yi and Quan Hui's family members into the city to send a letter to Quan Yi, saying that Lord Wu was furious because Quan Yi and others could not take Shouchun, and wanted to kill his family, so he fled to the north.

When Quan Yi and the others heard the news, they were terrified, so they surrendered in Kaesong.

Those who surrendered were courteous, and from then on, Zhuge in the city began to turn away from people's hearts.

Later, when Shouchun was broken, Zhong Hui gave the most advice, so he was more and more favored by Sima Zhao.

The people of the time compared him to Zhang Liang, a strategist in the Western Han Dynasty.

After the army was withdrawn, the imperial court wanted to promote Zhonghui to be a servant, but he resolutely refused. With Zhonglang as an official in the General's Mansion, he served as a secretary and was Sima Zhao's confidant.

Because of his meritorious work in seeking peace with Zhuge on his birthday, Zhong was named Marquis Chen, and he repeatedly resigned. Cao Chao issued an edict to commend him for his unsuccessful attitude.

…… ……

Around the second year of Jingyuan (261), Zhong Hui was promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Si Li. Although he is in a foreign office, Zhong Hui interferes in the affairs of the court and the appointment and dismissal of officials. Ji Kang and others were killed, perhaps out of Zhong Hui's plan.

During the Jingyuan period, Sima Zhao thought that Jiang Wei, the general of the Shu Han Dynasty, had repeatedly harassed the frontier, and expected that their territory was small, the people were tired, and their financial resources would be exhausted, so he wanted to send a large army to attack Shu. The ministers all thought it was not feasible, but Zhong Hui said that Shu Han could be attacked.

So, he planned a strategy with Sima Zhao in advance, surveyed the terrain, and discussed the situation.

In the third year of Jingyuan (262), Zhong Hui was appointed as the general of Zhenxi, the false festival, and the military governor of Guanzhong.

In the autumn of the second year, Wei raised troops to attack Shu Han, and ordered Deng Ai to lead more than 30,000 people to Gansong and Yu to contain Jiang Wei, and Zhuge Xu to lead more than 30,000 people to Wujie, Qiaotou and other places to cut off Jiang Wei's retreat.

Zhong Hui commanded more than 100,000 troops as the main general, and marched from Xiegu and Luogu respectively. Zhong Hui ordered the tooth keeper Xu Yi (Xu Chu's son) to build a road in the front and lead the army behind him.

When crossing the bridge, the war horse's hooves fell into the pit, and Zhong Hui beheaded Xu Yi regardless of the merits of Xu Yi's father, Xu Chu. When the armies heard this, they were all terrified and afraid.

…… ……

At that time, Shu Han ordered all defensive strongholds not to fight, and retreated to the two cities of Han and Le. Zhong Hui asked the protector Xun Kai and the former general Li Fu to each command 10,000 people to besiege Seoul and Lecheng respectively.

Zhong Hui went west out of Yang'ankou, sent people to worship Zhuge Liang's tomb, and ordered the sergeants not to graze horses and chop wood near his tomb. Zhonghui also sent the escort Hu Lie and others to go ahead, break through the city, and get the grain stored there.

Jiang Wei withdrew from the city, marched to Yinping, shook Zhuge Xu, who wanted to cut off the back road of the Shu army, gathered troops, and wanted to kill back to Guancheng, but before he arrived, he heard that Guancheng had fallen, so he retreated to Baishui, and defended the Sword Pavilion against Zhonghui with Zhang Yi and Liao Hua.

…… ……

Zhong Hui issued a notice to persuade the soldiers and civilians of Shu to surrender.

Deng Ai pursued Jiang Wei until Yinping, wanted to bypass the Sword Pavilion, enter Jiangyou and Zuo Dan Road from Han Deyang, reach Mianzhu, and approach Chengdu. invited Zhuge Xu to walk the Yin Ping Road together.

Zhuge Xu refused Deng Ai on the grounds that he had not received an order to march westward, marched to Baishui, and joined forces with Zhonghui.

Zhong Hui sent Tian Zhang and others from the southwest of the Sword Pavilion to Jiangyou.

After marching less than 100 miles, Tian Zhang first broke through the three camps of Shu Han ambush, and Deng Ai made Tian Zhang the vanguard and drove straight in. Zhong Hui and Zhuge Xu's troops went straight to the Sword Pavilion.

However, Zhong Hui wanted to monopolize military power, and the secret report said that Zhuge Xu was afraid to advance (not to go to the Yinping Road with Deng Ai), so he escorted him into a prisoner car and transported him back to the capital. In this way, the army was led by Zhong Hui.

…… ……

The army of Shu Han occupied the dangerous terrain and defended the Sword Pavilion. Zhong Hui's army attacked the Sword Pavilion and did not take it. In the winter of October, Sima Zhao had already been awarded the title of Duke of Jin and Jiuxi due to the frequent victories on various fronts.

The Wei army was unable to overcome the key points, and the distance to transport grain was far away, so Zhong Hui began to discuss the withdrawal of troops.

At this time, Deng Aiqi succeeded in attacking, led the army to break through Mianzhu, and killed Zhuge Zhan's father and son.

Jiang Wei and the others heard that Zhuge Zhan had been defeated, and led his subordinates east to Brazil County.

Zhong Hui led his troops to Fuxian, and at the same time sent Hu Lie, Tian Xu, Pang Hui and others to chase after Jiang Wei.

Deng Ai led his troops to Chengdu, Liu Chan led the people to surrender, and Shu Han officially perished.

Liu Chan sent someone to order Jiang Wei to surrender to Zhonghui. Jiang Wei traveled to Guanghan (qī) County, gave his talisman to Hu Lie, and surrendered to Zhonghui from the east.

Zhonghui ordered that the soldiers were forbidden to loot, and the corporal Lixian was used to appease the officials of Shu. befriended Jiang Bin and Jiang Xian again, and Jiang Wei was very happy. On December 24, the imperial court issued an edict to canonize Zhonghui as Situ for the merit of cutting down Shu, and seal the county marquis, and eat 10,000 households. Named his two sons as Pavilion Marquis, and sealed thousands of households.

Zhong Hui's two sons were his sons who succeeded his brother, and so far, he has not taken a wife or concubine.
