Story:
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei army launched a large-scale attack on the Shu Kingdom. Jiang Wei abandoned Yinping and retreated to Jiange. Zhong Hui urged Jiang Wei to surrender, but Jiang Wei resolutely refused.
After the fall of Shu, Zhong Hui secretly plotted to betray Wei. Jiang Wei saw this as an opportunity to restore the Han dynasty, so he offered advice and strategies to Zhong Hui.
However, their plan failed, and Jiang Wei was killed by the Wei army. When his belly was cut open, his gall was found to be as large as a dipper.
