This is an interesting question. According to the traditional concept of China, the eldest son is usually the boss, and everything in the family is passed on to the eldest son for management and distribution.
Then Sima Yi's successor should be his eldest son: Sima Shi, the eldest brother. Why is my brother Si Mazhao so famous?
To be honest, this situation is not particularly common. After careful understanding, I found that Sima Zhao was really lucky!
Si Mazhao's progress is closely related to Chang 'an, specifically, to Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei and Shu Han.
He did a good job, thanks to his opponent. His success really depends on the blessed land of Chang 'an.
In 249 AD, the history of the Three Kingdoms came to an end. Sima Yi, Qiu, is still brave in his sixties. The old emperor Cao Cao asked him to assist the new emperor with Cao Shuang, to be a good official and an honest man.
Sima Yi didn't do it with or without him. Shortly after the death of the old emperor, Sima Yi sent Cao Shuang, together with Cao Shuang's whole camp, to see the old emperor Cao Cao.
For a time, Cao Wei's high-level situation changed. Far away in the southwest, Xia Houba, who was stationed in Guanzhong to crusade against Jiang Wei, was a die-hard fan of Cao Jia. I can't stand seeing this situation!
Xia Houba resolutely defected to Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was very happy at that time. The enemy suddenly became friends. This is to be made! Take Guanzhong and reproduce the great achievements of Gaozu. Zhuge Liang can walk with his eyes closed.
This is not good news for Wei, especially for the Sima family who just came to power, but Sima Yi is too old and sick to move. As a successor, the eldest brother Sima Shi should be ready to take over at any time and can't move. What should I do?
The traffic conditions and remote control at that time ruined the day lily.
Si Mazhao looked at his eldest brother and father in front of him, his eyes wide open. Are you afraid of forgetting that there is another son here? At that time, Si Mazhao's identity was still: the son of Qiu Sima Yi, the younger brother of General Sima Shi, and everything else was gone!
To the top of Cao Wei, Si Mazhao is a nobody. There is nothing we can do now. Only let it go, no one is a member of this family.
Si Mazhao temporarily suspended the rank of General Anxi and went to Chang 'an to take charge of military affairs to welcome the happy Jiang Wei.
Let's not talk about it. Ending: Si Mazhao wins more with less!
Si Mazhao, a nobody, jumped up. This time, it is the real monopoly of Si Mazhao, which fully shows Si Mazhao's military talent and leadership style. After all, there are not many newcomers like Si Mazhao.
After defeating Jiang Wei, Si Mazhao moved Xuchang, that is, Xudu, the hometown of Cao Cao, where he held the emperor as a vassal, monitored Cao Cao's lair, and was wary of Wu Dong.
If the situation has not changed much, Si Mazhao may be like this. My brother will take over as the boss and be a little duke outside. This kind of drama is a historical routine.
As a result, there are moths in Shu. This time, there was civil strife in Shu. It turns out that Fei Yi, the prime minister of Shu, is a typical conservative, and his opinion is completely different from that of Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei advocates inheriting Zhuge Liang's thought and continuing to attack but not defend. Fei Yi refused to do it, and advocated squatting in the nest to rest and make progress.
Jiang Wei can't win Fei Yi, because the fee is the biggest.
But Fei Yi was assassinated in 253. It doesn't matter who did it. What is important is that it is Jiang Wei's turn to take power in Shu this time.
Lovely Guo Wei, I'm coming. Jiang Wei said so, and formed an army to attack Guanzhong. The situation in Guanzhong is tense in an instant.
At this time, Wei and Sima Yi were dead, and Sima Shi succeeded to the throne. In order to solve this problem, Sima Shi also turned his attention to his younger brother Si Mazhao.
Si Mazhao will once again enter Chang 'an.
I won't say much about the process, and the final result is still: great victory, sealing Hou!
Winning streak, amazing! The star of hope, the star of tomorrow, the ever-victorious general and so on, Si Mazhao deserves it!
For Wei, it is not a problem to be able to defend the country and become a famous official of Wei.
In 255 AD, the eldest brother Sima Shi died of illness. According to normal logic and normal succession order, Sima Shi's son should take over.
If Si Mazhao has not entered Si Mazhao before Chang 'an, this is a high probability of succession.
But Si Mazhao is not what it used to be. With title, credit, experience and some means, Si Mazhao successfully jumped the queue.
Since then, Wei He has monopolized power. In the middle, I remembered something on Si Mazhao's mind, which I said in the last article, so I won't say much.
In 263 AD, the whole army was ordered to attack and determined to destroy Shu. Wargo was surprised, and the soldiers split into two roads, crossed the path and went straight to the hinterland of Shu. Liu Chan surrendered.
Si Mazhao was happy to hear the result, while Si Mazhao was sad to hear his subordinates report the thoughts of two generals, Wargo and Zhong Hui.
No matter what Si Mazhao thought, the situation in Guanzhong suddenly changed and became more dangerous than when Shu Han was around. Comrade backstab is the most terrible!
As a last resort, in 264, Si Mazhao led the army to Chang 'an again to guard against the change of Guanzhong.
This is Si Mazhao's third and last visit to Chang 'an.
15 years ago in 249, Si Mazhao was still a nobody, named General Anxi, and his enemy was Jiang Wei.
15 years later, in 264, he was already the actual master of Wei, and his enemy was his own Jia.
The process is still unknown. Wargo was framed for rebellion and was injured in the process of being sent to Chang 'an. Zhong Hui really rebelled at the instigation of Jiang Wei, but failed after half a day, and Jiang Wei was killed in the chaos.
A huge crisis that divided China and Xinjiang was quietly resolved.
Si Mazhao triumphantly moved troops back to the DPRK, sealing the king and adding nine tin, while all his opponents stayed underground in the southwest of Chang 'an.
At this point, Sun Quan is dead, and Wu Dong has come to an end. Otherwise, Wargo would not want to win Wu Dong in one breath. China is no match for Si Mazhao.
Chang 'an is the blessed land of Si Mazhao. Si Mazhao sealed the road to the king, and the three wins and three wins were paved by Chang 'an.
It can be said that without Chang 'an, there would be no Si Mazhao in history, and there would be no heart of Si Mazhao. There will only be a freeloader who dies in Luoyang or some fief in Si Mazhao.
In 265, Si Mazhao died and Si Mazhao's son Sima Yan succeeded him.
Si Mazhao's heart, his life's merits and demerits, are all commented by later generations.
