Aftermath

Further information: Conquest of Shu by Wei

After Jiang Wei's continued failures in his invasions, the people of Shu resented him. Shu resources were almost drained and this gave Wei an opportunity to attack and eliminate Shu. Zhong Hui and Deng Ai invaded Shu at two points. Jiang Wei resisted Zhong Hui's attack, but Liao Hua was defeated by Deng Ai, and after the defeat of Zhuge Zhan at Mianzhu Pass, Shu was lost. In 263, the Shu emperor Liu Shan surrendered to Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei was ordered to surrender his troops to Zhong Hui.
