延熙九年秋，大赦，光於眾中責大將軍費禕曰：「夫赦者，偏枯之物，非明世所宜有也。衰弊窮極，必不得已，然後乃可權而行之耳。今主上仁賢，百僚稱職，有何旦夕之危，倒懸之急，而數施非常之恩，以惠姦宄之惡乎？又鷹隼始擊，而更原宥有罪，上犯天時，下違人理。老夫耄朽，不達治體，窮謂其法難以經久，豈具瞻之高美，所望於明德哉。」禕但顧謝踧踖而已。光之指摘痛癢，多如是類。故執政重臣，心不能悅，爵位不登，每直言無所迴避，為代所嫌。太常廣漢鐔承、〈《華陽國志》曰：承字公文，歷郡守少府。〉光祿勛河東裴儁等，年資皆在光後，而登據上列，處光之右，蓋以此也。〈傅暢《裴氏家記》曰：儁字奉先，魏尚書令潛弟也。儁姊夫爲蜀中長史，儁送之，時年十餘歲，遂遭漢末大亂，不復得還。既長知名，爲蜀所推重也。子越，字令緒，爲蜀督軍。蜀破，遷還洛陽，拜議郎。〉

Shu Han
Their side
Shu Han was a state founded by Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period. Its official name was Han, but it is commonly known as Shu Han. In 211, the sixteenth year of the Jian’an era, Liu Bei entered Yi Province at Liu Zhang’s invitation. He later turned against Liu Zhang and seized the province, joining Zhuge Liang and others in besieging Chengdu. After Chengdu was pacified, Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang General of the Household and entrusted him with the affairs of the Left General’s Office. In 221, the first year of the Zhangwu era, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu and made Liu Shan crown prince. In 223, Liu Bei died, and Liu Shan succeeded him in Chengdu at the age of seventeen. Zhuge Liang was entrusted with assisting the government, serving as chancellor and overseeing both internal and external affairs. Shu Han’s rule was based in Yi Province, and it remained at war with Cao Wei. Zhuge Liang once led an expedition south, pacifying four commanderies in Nanzhong and reorganizing the local commandery and county administrative divisions. Thereafter, Shu’s forces continued to pursue northern campaigns. In 263, the Wei court ordered Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, and others to invade Shu along separate routes, planning an attack on Ba and Shu.
