In the first year of shu han yanxing (263), the later lord Liu Chan was panicked in the face of Deng Ai's army that suddenly appeared under the city of Chengdu, and randomly went out of the city to surrender, and since then Shu Han, with 280,000 households, a population of 940,000, and 100,000 warriors, has perished.
In order to show his submission, Liu Chan, who had become a prisoner of the order, specially sent his servant Jiang Xian to the Sword Pavilion with his own edict and ordered Jiang Wei to lead the army to surrender. The humiliated Shu Han generals were extremely sad and indignant, drawing their swords and cutting stones, and bursting into tears. Helpless, Jiang Wei had to go alone to see The Wei Army's general Zhong Hui. The bell, who considers himself a victor, will say triumphantly, "How did you descend so late?" Jiang Wei said with tears in his eyes: "As a national general, it is too early for me to surrender today!" Zhong Hui also couldn't help but treat Jiang Wei, who was loyal and learned from the crisis of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei "went out to share the same public opinion, and sat at the same table."
Although the Shu Han Dynasty had become yesterday's clouds, Jiang Wei still had the wish to restore his homeland. When he saw that Zhong Hui would treat the Shu generals led by himself kindly, and frame Deng Ai, who had achieved great feats in destroying Shu alone, he knew that Zhong Hui had ambitions to support the army and stand on his own, and Jiang Wei wanted to use Zhong Hui to revive Shu Han. Jiang Wei secretly advised Zhong Hui: "Your Excellency, since the departure of Huainan, there is no exhaustive strategy, the Jin State can have since the Huainan Departure, there is no exhaustive strategy, the Jin State can have the present Guan peak there is Jiang Weicheng, for Jiang Weitun's army." The situation of the heavens is all due to the general. Now that shu Han has been pacified, can the general's meritorious service and the lord live in peace? Han Xin did not listen to The King's advice, and as a result was killed by the careful-eyed Liu Bang, and Wen Zhong, unlike Fan Li, was detached from politics and traveled around the five lakes, resulting in a death under the sword. Now that you have made great contributions, General, and your prestige has become too high, why don't you learn from Fan Li to sail on the rivers and lakes and be a casual person?" At this time, Zhong Hui also regarded Jiang Wei as a confidant, and sighed unabashedly and said, "What you said is reasonable, but I can't do it." Jiang Wei continued to tease; Since you don't learn Fan Li, it's time to prepare. Zhong Hui smiled knowingly, and regarded Jiang Wei even more as a helper for his own achievements.
After secret discussion, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei decided to kill all the northern generals who opposed Zhong Hui. Jiang Wei's wishful thinking was very good, he wanted to borrow Zhong Hui's sword to eliminate those Wei generals who could fight in battle, and in turn get rid of Zhong Hui and restore the Shu Han Kingdom. Jiang Weimi wrote to the Lord: "Your Majesty endured the humiliation of several days, and your subjects wanted to restore peace to the society, and the sun and the moon to be quiet and clear. "Fist and fist are faithful, all between the lines." But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Qiu Jian, the captain of the guard under Zhong Hui's tent, was originally a soldier under the general Hu Lie, and after the captain of Qiu overheard the conversation between Zhong and Jiang, he was worried that his old superior would be poisoned, so he secretly told Hu Lie. This General Hu may be good at gossiping, or perhaps he wants to poke out the secret to protect himself, so he began to spread this secret in the army. Overnight, more than 100,000 Wei soldiers knew the news that the main general wanted to kill the ring, so they launched a mutiny and attacked the city to kill Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei. At that time, Jiang Wei was suffering from heartache, after hearing the sound of killing outside, Jiang Wei endured the severe pain rate left and right to meet the battle, he killed five or six people by hand, and finally outnumbered, was cut to the ground, his wife and children were all killed, Zhong Hui was also killed, and the dream of reviving Shu Han finally came to naught.
