Not only killed Cao Shuang, but also destroyed Sima Yi of his three clans, how ruthless was it?

Sima Yi killed more than 7,000 members of the Cao clan. Sima Yi was very successful, and Cao Shuang, who was unscrupulous and brave, could only be forced to hand over military power. Cao Shuang's purpose in handing over power was actually to protect himself, but his idea was too ridiculous, with Sima Yi's city government, how could he easily let go of such a big threat.

killed Cao Shuang in one fell swoop, and in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he raised a butcher's knife against Cao Wei's clan, involving a total of about 7,000 people, which was very miserable.

As we all know, during the Three Kingdoms period, the princes rose together, and finally the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu divided the world into three parts and became a trend. Among them, Shu Han was the weakest, followed by Eastern Wu, and Cao Wei was the strongest. And Shu Han has been going downhill since the defeat in the Battle of Yiling.

In the end, Deng Ai, a general under Cao Wei, smuggled into Yinping and attacked Shu Han, which led to the fall of Shu Han. Soon after the destruction of Shu Han, Eastern Wu was also destroyed by Cao Wei. In the end, Cao Wei had the last laugh.

But what no one expected was that Cao Wei struggled to survive to the final end, but was seized by the Sima clan.

weakened and cleared the powerful faction in the Cao clan, and paved the way for his own Sima clan to take power.

Cao Shuang is the son of Cao Zhen, the same clan as Cao Cao, and also has a certain influence in the army, Cao Shuang's three clans include Cao and Xiahou's two clans, and after destroying Cao Shuang's three clans, the rights of Cao Wei's regime will all belong to the Sima family.

Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.

This is the "striking down on the main contradiction" in the political struggle.

Cao Shuang was the leader of the Cao group at that time, and it was also the biggest obstacle to Sima Yi's seizure of power. The other Cao clan's relatives were inferior to Cao Shuang in terms of ability and ambition, and there was no threat to the rule of the Sima clan at all; Moreover, if the Sima clan wants to make the transition regime as smooth as possible, they also need the cooperation of the Cao clan, so it is an inevitable choice to exchange preferential treatment for the cooperation of the Cao clan.

For example, the Cao family is like a tiger, if the Sima family wants to replace the Cao family, there is no need to kill the entire tiger, or even break the bones and scatter ashes, as long as the most dangerous tiger tooth is pulled out - that is, Cao Shuang, it is enough.

Since ancient times in China, it has been an unwritten rule that a new dynasty should be established without killing the clan of the previous dynasty. The person who broke this rule was Liu Yu, the founder of Liu Song in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This guy wiped out all the clans of the Jin Dynasty.

After three generations of operation, the party henchmen are all over the government and the opposition, and Sima is a foregone conclusion that Cao will be replaced, and there is no need to risk the disapproval of the world to destroy the Cao clan.

To put it bluntly, Sima Yi wants to be the emperor and wants to become a veritable emperor himself.

Isn't this the same as everyone likes money, and everyone wants to apologize.

Let's put it this way, Sima Yi served Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi, but he has been enduring it, Sima Yi must have been looking for an opportunity in his heart at that time, but you think, how smart Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi were at that time, how could they be casually killed by others.

The Cao family's own Jiangshan Sheji is not so easy to take, and then Sima Yi has been pretending to be a little white rabbit, showing that he is very loyal, but he is planning all the time in his heart, thinking about what is suitable for him to make a move, take it in one fell swoop, and become an emperor himself.

But what Sima Yi didn't expect was that he had waited for so many years, having said that, Sima Yi was really able to bear it, how could she be so calm when she met ordinary people, it is estimated that she would have rebelled.

This is why the last Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, and the last Three Kingdoms still returned to the Sima family, because at the beginning, Sima Yi's foundation was well laid.

Let's talk about Cao Shuang again, Cao Shuang is typically incompetent, he can't do anything, he can't do it, he still thinks about being an emperor with his own beauty, and he also arranges for the shrimp soldiers and crabs under his hands to do it, and he happily looks at dancing and drinks a little wine every day.

In the end, he realized that he was going to be finished, it was already too late, and he was still thinking that he wanted to regain his power in the end, so Sima Yi might let him take it back, it was impossible, so Sima Yi simply asked Cao Shuang to shut up forever. It's all over the place, and it saves you the trouble in the future.

The main thing is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to leave obstacles for their future path.

Because he wants to inherit the Cao family's world, he must kill the Cao family's heir to have hope.

Rebellion itself is nothing, but the mistake is that you have no ability, but you have to do something that is not in line with your ability, except for the overflowing ambition, it is nothing. So, fools, disappear.

If he kills Cao Shuang, the Cao family will have no descendants, so it will be impossible to suffer in the future.

Because only by killing Cao Shuang, the heir of the Cao family, can he get the world of the Cao family.

Sima Yi is an ambitious person, and if he wants to get the world of the Cao family, of course, he has to get rid of the heirs of the Cao family.

There is a saying that if you don't kill Cao Shuang, it will be easy for Cao Shuang to take revenge.

Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang mainly to expand his real power.

If you don't kill Cao Shuang, this is equivalent to burying a disaster for yourself.

Because Cao Shuang is the last heir of the Cao family, if you kill him, you can usurp Cao, and your years of forbearance can also be reduced.
