Zhong played a significant role in the conquest of Shu Han by Wei. Zhong 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, but failed and died in 264 at the age of 39.
