In the autumn of the fourth year of Jing Yuan (263), the State of Wei sent Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, and Zhuge Xu to lead three large armies to attack Shu Han, and in the end, Deng Ai smuggled yinping and destroyed Shu Han.
After Liu Chan surrendered to Deng Ai, he ordered Jiang Wei and others to surrender as well, so Jiang Wei led his army to surrender to Zhong Hui.
For a time, Zhong Hui had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, so he had the heart to rebel, because he was jealous of Deng Ai, so together with the overseer Wei Wan, he falsely accused Deng Ai of rebellion, and Sima Zhao immediately ordered Deng Ai to be taken into custody.
Zhong Hui conspired with Wei Wan to arrest Deng Ai's father and son and escort them to Luoyang.
After getting rid of Deng Ai, Zhong Hui no longer had any scruples, and immediately revolted in Chengdu, preparing to give Jiang Wei 50,000 soldiers and horses, so that Jiang Wei would be the vanguard, first capturing Chang'an, and then plotting the Central Plains.
Under the pretext that Empress Guo had a will, Zhong Hui asked him to get rid of Sima Zhao, gather the generals and officials, and let them sign together, but these people were not willing to rebel with Zhong Hui, so Zhong would imprison them and force them to sign.
Zhong Hui's subordinate Qiu Jian, who had previously been Hu Lie's subordinate, persuaded Zhong Hui to send a close associate to bring food and water to Hu Lie, and to assign an attendant to all the imprisoned people.
Hu Lie took the opportunity to fabricate a lie that Zhong would soon beat them to death and bury them, inciting the crowd. At this time, someone advised Zhong hui to kill all the people above the yamen rider to get rid of the trouble, but Zhong would hesitate.
It was this opportunity to hesitate that The Bell would fail.
Hu Lie secretly revealed the news to his son Hu Yuan, who was only eighteen years old at the time, but, acting bravely, Hu Yuan led an army together with Hu Lie's men and rushed into Zhong Hui's military tent.
At that time, Zhong Hui was preparing to grant Jiang Wei the right to fight, Hu Yuan's troops rushed in, Zhong Hui heard the shouts of killing, panicked, and asked Jiang Wei what to do? Jiang Wei said that only by fighting with them to the death.
After the Wei army destroyed shu Han, they all wanted to return to wei as soon as possible, and did not want to give Zhong Hui their lives, so they swarmed forward, and Jiang Wei led his men to fight back, personally killing five or six Wei soldiers, who were killed by the Wei army, and Zhong Hui was also killed.
In this way, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were killed by Hu Lie and his son Hu Yuan.
So, Hu Lie and Hu Yuan's father and son, what is the final outcome? How did they die?
Hu Lie later served as the Assassin of Qin Prefecture, and the local people rebelled, triggering the Qin Liang Rebellion.
In the sixth year of the Tai Dynasty (270), Hu Lie's leader Bald Tree, who was able to function in Wanhudui, was besieged by enemy troops layer by layer, because there was no reinforcement to rescue him, and Hu Lie's soldiers were defeated and killed.
The Book of Jin records that Lie was the assassin of Qin Prefecture, and the Rebellion of Liangzhou, lietun in Wan hu pile, surrounded by prisoners, helpless, and killed.
After his son Hu Yuan killed Zhong Hui, he became famous for a while. Later, during the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Hu Yuan was defeated by Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and hu Yuan was still killed after surrendering.
The "Praise of the Dukes of Jin" records: Yuanxiao character harrier, when he was eighteen years old, killed will save his father, and his name was shocked. Later Zhao WangLun usurped the throne, the three kings Xingyi, Lun Lingyuan and Zhang Hong generals Yu qi wang, repeatedly broke the Qi army. Will Chengdu Battle Ke, Yuan Nai surrender to the law of surrender.
Hu Lie and Hu Yuan eliminated Zhong Hui, but neither father nor son died well, and both died.
If Hu Yuan hadn't killed Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei, maybe Zhong Hui would have succeeded with Jiang Wei's help, and even if he couldn't succeed, Sima Zhao wouldn't have been able to help Zhong Hui, after all, Zhong Hui had more than 300,000 troops in his hands.
If Zhuge Liang had an army of 300,000, the State of Wei would have been destroyed long ago.
