Zhong Hui

Zhong Hui (225–264), style name Shiji, was a military general of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. His father was Zhong Yao, who also served as a politician in Wei.

Zhong Hui played a significant role in the conquest of Wei's rival state, Shu Han. Zhong Hui and Deng Ai were equal in rank in the campaign against Shu, but Zhong always considered himself more skilled than Deng. He later befriended the Shu general, Jiang Wei, and they plotted to rebel against Deng, starting a rebellion in 264, but the rebellion failed after Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were discovered planning to execute several officers; the enraged officers revolted and killed Zhong Hui.
