    文王以蜀大將姜維屢擾邊陲,料蜀國小民疲,資力單竭,欲大舉圖蜀。惟會亦以為蜀可取,豫共籌度地形,考論事勢。景元三年冬,以會為鎮西將軍、假節都督關中諸軍事。文王敕青、徐、兗、豫、荊、揚諸州,並使作船,又令唐咨作浮海大船,外為將伐吳者。四年秋,乃下詔使鄧艾、諸葛緒各統諸軍三萬餘人,艾趣甘松、沓中連綴維,緒趣武街、橋頭絕維歸路。會統十餘萬眾,分從斜谷、駱谷入。先命牙門將許儀在前治道,會在後行,而橋穿,馬足陷,於是斬儀。儀者,許褚之子,有功王室,猶不原貸。諸軍聞之,莫不震竦。蜀令諸圍皆不得戰,退還漢、樂二城守。魏興太守劉欽趣子午谷,諸軍數道平行,至漢中。蜀監軍王含守樂城,護軍蔣斌守漢城,兵各五千。會使護軍荀愷、前將軍李輔各統萬人,愷圍漢城,輔圍樂城。會徑過,西出陽安口,遣人祭諸葛亮之墓。使護軍胡烈等行前,攻破關城,得庫藏積穀。姜維自沓中還,至陰平,合集士眾,欲赴關城。未到,聞其已破,退趣白水,與蜀將張翼、廖化等合守劍閣拒會。會移檄蜀將吏士民曰:

Liu Qin was the Wei kingdom’s Administrator of Weixing and took part in the Wei campaign to destroy Shu. He does not appear in the novel.
