What are the allusions between Cao Wei and Dai Han?
After Cao Cao returned to the north, he summed up the lessons of failure and decided to enrich his strength by reorganizing the army, developing production and recruiting talents. He sent people to train the water army on the Huaihe River, Feishui River and other rivers. They also sent people to build water conservancy projects and open up wasteland to store grain; It also promulgated the "meritocracy" order to lure people with real talents and practical knowledge to their doorstep.
At the same time, Cao Cao also forced Liu Xie, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to give him more power step by step, ready to seize the world in the Han Dynasty. In the 18th year of Jian 'an (AD 2 13), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was forced to make Cao Cao Wang Wei, and took ten counties in Jizhou (now most of Hebei and parts of Shanxi and Shandong) as fiefs, allowing Cao Cao to set ministers such as Shangshu, Shizhong and Liu Qing in the fiefs. Three years later, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was forced to make Cao Weiwei, allowing him to use the standard that only the emperor could use to go in and out like an emperor. At this time, Cao Cao, although nominally the prime minister and Wang Wei of the Han Dynasty, was not an emperor. In fact, all he needs is to ask Emperor Xian of Han to give up the throne. Unfortunately, Cao Cao is over 60 years old, and time is running out. He is going to leave the matter of being emperor to his son. In the 25th year of Jian 'an (AD 220), Cao Cao died of illness. His son, Cao Pi, succeeded him as the prime minister of Wang Weihan, and immediately set about finishing what his father had not finished.
Cao Pi's tactics are better than Cao Cao's. Instead of taking an aggressive stance, he pretended to lead the army south first, showing that he had military power in his hand and military talent like his father, which not only frightened Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, but also facilitated attracting more people to join him. He led his troops back to his hometown Qiao County (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province) and gave a big banquet to entertain the soldiers of the Sixth Army and the hometown folks. Although he has not yet become an emperor, he is imitating the story of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, returning to his hometown in rags. At that time, Sun Quan in Jiangnan was busy accumulating strength, and the contradiction with Liu Bei was already very sharp, so he could not bear to confront Cao Pi. He heard that Cao Pi led the army south, and quickly sent someone to congratulate Cao Pi on his succession to Wang Wei, expressing his willingness to make up. Xelloss was naturally happy to see that he and Sun Quan had achieved a peaceful result of one soldier and one pawn, so he led the troops back to Xuchang.
Then, Cao Pi instructed his cronies to create public opinion for him to seize the world in the Han Dynasty. After the cronies got the news, they kept spreading rumors that auspicious signs appeared. They said that Huanglong appeared in Qiao County, Cao Pi's hometown, that many phoenixes were flying in Shiqian, and that they saw silver pheasants in Raoan. Longfeng does not exist in the real world. They are just imaginary animals and birds, and they are regarded as symbols of emperors and queens in feudal society. Although there are pheasants in the real world, they are few in number and are regarded as mascots in feudal society. Since Huanglong appeared in Cao Pi's hometown, it is equivalent to saying that Cao Pi should be the real dragon emperor, and the phoenix and pheasant are the foil for Huanglong, which proves that the time has indeed come to change the dynasty.
While creating auspicious rumors, Cao Pi's cronies also made use of the prevailing superstition of prophecy at that time [chèn]. Tai Shicheng and Xu Zhi pretended: "I read a book called Yi Yun Period, which said:' The word is in the east, and there is afternoon in the west, and light day will be there in two days. It is the main thing, but it is also an auxiliary thing. Five, eight, four, yellow gas, real people. "I thought about the meaning of this prediction carefully before I realized that adding a word" noon "next to the word" speech "is a word" Xu ",which is connected with two words" day ",and when it is opened and closed, it is a word" Chang ". Together, Xuchang is the birthplace of Wang Wei. " It is a matter of the Lord, but it is an auxiliary matter. It means that Wang Wei should have been the monarch, but he became the prime minister, which is upside down. 5840.' Yellow gas, real people' means that the Han Dynasty established its capital in Xijing and Tokyo. Together, it has enjoyed 400 years of state ownership, and its good fortune has come to an end. It should give way to a new Mr. Right. Then, Xu Zhi added: "Yi Yun Period" also said: "Ghosts are in the mountains, women are connected, and the world is king". This word "ghost" is linked with the word "nest girl", isn't it the word "Wei Zi"? Chen Wei's book foresees that Wang Wei should be the master of the world. After Xu Zhi said this, others quickly echoed. This one says, "Divination books are the most effective fairy predictions. When Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, he should have accepted the divination book, so he had to believe it. "The man said," Since the book says so, it seems that the destiny has been decided, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty should quickly give way to Wang Wei. " As he spoke, many people reported these fabricated lies to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, which meant to persuade him to recognize his own interests and give up the throne as soon as possible.
Appreciation of Ancient Landscape Paintings Xian Di was naturally unhappy when he heard that he was asked to give way. He thought: When Emperor Gaozu and Xiang Yu competed for the Central Plains, it was not easy to create an inheritance. Guangxu emperor Zhongxing Han clan once risked his life. Now, the legacy created by his ancestors has to be given to others through his own hands. How can this be worthy of our ancestors? He couldn't help crying. But he can't help but agree to give way. Because most of the civil servants in the Qing Dynasty belonged to Wang Wei. He himself has long been an overhead puppet. It seems that we have to let nature take its course, or let nature take its course. If we persist in not letting go, we will lose our minds. And take the initiative to give way, perhaps xelloss can be merciful and save his life. With this in mind, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty had to give up the imperial edict with tears and announced that he would cede the throne to Wang Wei and Cao Pi.
Cao Pi was very happy when he received the imperial edict from Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. On the surface, he is deliberately humble, let people return the imperial edict intact. Emperor Xian of Han sent a letter to Zen again, and Cao Pi returned the letter. Xian Di was confused and didn't know what to do. Later, someone told him: "The throne of the Zen Dynasty must not be so-so, but a grand ceremony should be held." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty understood Cao Pi's meaning and quickly sent someone to build a Zen altar in Fanyang (now northwest of Linying County, Henan Province) overnight. In the Zen ceremony, Emperor Xian of Han first went to the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and ancestors. Then Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was in the top, and Wang Wei and Cao Pi were in the bottom. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty read the imperial edict of Zen, publicly admitted that the luck of the Han Dynasty had run out, and was willing to give way to Wang Wei and Cao Pi, who were destined to return. Later, the two sides exchanged places, and Cao Pi officially proclaimed himself emperor, changing the country name to Wei and the year number to, making Emperor Xian of Han as the duke, and sending him to live in Shanyang County, Hanoi County (now Xiuwu County, Henan Province). Soon. Cao Pi announced that he had moved the capital to Luoyang and changed Fan Yang to Fanchang, indicating that the Wei State he founded began to prosper here. At this point, the so-called "Zen generation" between the Han and Wei Dynasties was finally completed, and what Cao Cao had failed to achieve for many years was realized by Cao Pi. In fact, it was a bloodless coup.
During this period, Liu Bei in the south occupied Jingzhou with the victory of Battle of Red Cliffs and wanted to develop in Yizhou (now Sichuan). This was originally Zhuge Liang's strategy when Liu Bei inspected the cottage. Liu Zhang, who occupied Yizhou at that time, was weak and incompetent. Even some of his people think that he is incapable of managing Yizhou and resisting Cao Cao. An official named Zhang Song suggested that he invite Liu Bei to Yizhou to help him take power. Liu Zhang agreed and sent Fazheng to invite Liu Bei. He didn't know that Zhang Song and Fazheng were plotting to let Liu Bei come to Yizhou instead of Liu Zhang. After Liu Bei knew it, he took people into Yizhou, and soon clashed with the generals who supported Liu Zhang. Liu Bei won one after another, but his strategist Pang Tong was also killed. After Zhuge Liang, who stayed in Jingzhou, heard about it, he asked Guan Yu to defend Jingzhou and took Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals to support Liu Bei overnight. Liu can't be martial, where is his opponent? Finally, even Chengdu was surrounded. Liu Bei also persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender in conjunction with Ma Chao, a famous soldier from Xiliang. Liu Zhang had no choice but to leave the city and hand over Yizhou to Liu Bei. Liu Bei got his wish, became the secretariat of Yizhou, and got a piece of land that really belonged to him.
Later, Liu Bei wanted to capture Hanzhong. Because Hanzhong is the gateway to the north of Yizhou, with Hanzhong, Yizhou's security will be guaranteed. At that time, Hanzhong was occupied by Cao Cao, so Cao and Liu fought another battle in Hanzhong. Liu Bei personally led the troops, and Cao Cao also went to Chang 'an to supervise the war. At first, he won the battle, but Xia, who led the troops, looked down on his opponent veteran Huang Zhong. He said: "Huang Zhong's beard is white, can he still fight?" Cao Cao advised him to be careful, but he wouldn't listen. Later, in the first world war in Dingjun Mountain, Huang Zhong came earlier and earlier, and suddenly attacked and killed Xia. Then, Zhao Yun defeated the general sergeant Zhang Tai with an "empty city plan". The war turned in Liu Bei's favor. A few months later, the weather was hot and the disease was prevalent, so Cao Jun had to retreat. Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong and claimed to be the king of Hanzhong. He was bent on destroying Cao Cao and restoring the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei was heartbroken when the news of the generation of Han in Cao Wei reached Yizhou. He cried for three days with the soldiers, civilians and others, and then declared himself emperor in Chengdu, inheriting the legal system of the Han Dynasty. Because the sphere of influence of the Han Dynasty he established was limited to Bashu area, it was called Shu State in history. Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor for eight years. In 229 AD, Sun Quan also ascended the throne in Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), with the country name Wu, which was called Soochow or Sun Wu in history. This formed the situation of Wei, Shu and Wu.
