Zhong Hui is the son of Zhong Xuan, he was very special when he was a child, different from ordinary people, intelligent, when he was five years old, Zhong would meet Jiang Ji, Jiang Ji praised Zhong Hui and said that he was a very special person.
After Zhong grew up, he read a lot of books, was proficient in metaphysics, and became famous.
Soon, Zhong would be appreciated by Sima Shi and began to participate in Sima Shi's staff. The history books record: The great general Sima Jingwang went on a crusade to the east, and he would know secret affairs.
After Sima Shi's death, Zhong Hui again served Sima Zhao and became Sima Zhao's confidant, and Zhong Hui planned many important things for Sima Zhao, among which ji Kang was killed, which was Zhong Hui's idea. The history books record: Zhonglang was in charge of the office of the General in the General's Mansion, and was responsible for his heart.
Sima Zhao also had more trust in Zhong Hui, and when the State of Wei attacked Shu Han, the soldiers were divided into three roads, Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu both brought only 30,000 horses, and Sima Zhao granted Zhong Hui 100,000 troops, which was the main force of Shu, which showed that Sima Zhao was very important to Zhong Hui.
Then, after the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhong Hui was Sima Zhao's confidant, so why did he rebel? What was Zhong Hui's motive for rebellion?
As a hero of the destruction of Shu, Zhong Hui will definitely add officials to the knighthood, eminently a lifetime, enjoy all the glory and wealth, and even enter the picture, so what is the purpose of Zhong Hui's rebellion?
In fact, this is related to Zhong Hui's personality.
Zhong Hui has been pretentious since childhood, and he is very ambitious, that is to say, Zhong Hui will not be willing to live under people for a long time. What he wants is that he has the final say, he claims the title of emperor, he dominates the world, and if he cannot dominate the world, at least he will dominate one side.
The history books record that Zhong Hui had long had different ambitions, but he had always been jealous of Deng Ai, who had considerable military talent, and after he overthrew Deng Ai, Zhong Hui would no longer have any worries.
Because Zhong Hui himself had more than 100,000 troops in his hands, he had absorbed Zhuge Xu's 30,000 troops, plus the main force of Shu Han who had surrendered Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai's troops already had more than 200,000 troops, and later, Zhong Hui also absorbed Deng Ai's troops, and the strength in his hands exceeded 300,000.
Zhong Hui, who was heavily armed with troops, was full of pride, and he was completely floating.
The history books record that Zhong Hui alone held hundreds of thousands of troops, threatened the whole of Yizhou, thought that he was famous in the world, and no longer willing to live under the people for a long time, plus those fierce generals and elite troops were in his own hands, he had enough capital and confidence, so he decided to rebel.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, The Biography of Zhong Hui, records: Dominating the masses alone, threatening the western lands. Claiming to be a worldly hero and not being able to return to being a man, Jia Meng will be sharp and sharp in his own hands, so he plots rebellion.
Zhong Hui's abacus was very loud, and he was ready to let Jiang Wei as the vanguard, first leading the army out of the Xie Valley, and then, he himself led the main force to follow, and after Chang'an, he ordered the cavalry to go down the river from the land road, the infantry from the waterway, and the cavalry to luoyang to meet the division, in one fell swoop to pacify the world.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms Zhong Hui records that if Jiang Wei and others want to make the Shu soldiers out of the Valley, they will follow the masses themselves. As far as Chang'an was concerned, the knights were ordered to float down the river from the land route, and the infantry floated into the river from the waterway, thinking that they could go to Mengjin in five days, and the cavalry would meet Luoyang, and once the world could be determined.
Jiang Wei's military ability, Zhong Hui is very well understood, even a powerful figure like Jiang Wei, listen to his own dispatches, what else does he dare not do?
However, Zhong Hui did not expect in his dreams that Hu Lie's son, the eighteen-year-old Hu Yuan, would actually crush his dream and kill him.
Zhong hui died at the age of forty.
