In 220, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, with Luoyang as its capital and the title of "Wei", known as Cao Wei in history, and the history of the Three Kingdoms officially began. The following year, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, making Chengdu his capital, which was known as Shu Han in history.
In 222, Liu Bei lost the battle of Yiling, and Sun Quan won most of Jingzhou. When Liu Bei died in 223, Zhuge Liang helped Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, reunite with Sun Quan. In 229, Jianye, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was known as Wu. At this point, the three countries were formally established.
In the later period of Cao Wei, politics became increasingly corrupt and class contradictions became increasingly acute. At the same time, the opposition and struggle between the two factions headed by Cao Shuang and Sima Yi emerged within the ruling class. ?
In the first year of Jiaping (AD 249), Cao Shuang and others accompanied Cao Fang to visit Wei Mingdi Mausoleum in the south of Luoyang. Sima Yi took the opportunity to launch a coup in Luoyang and seize power in North Korea. ?
In the third year of Jiaping (AD 25 1 year), Sima Yi died of illness, and his son Sima Shi continued to take power. In the sixth year of Jiaping (AD 254), Sima Shi abolished Cao Fang and established Cao Maodi. The following year, Master Sima died and his younger brother Si Mazhao came to power.
In the fifth year of Ganlu (AD 260), Cao Mao was unwilling to be a puppet and led hundreds of servants to attack Si Mazhao and was killed. Sima Zhao established Cao Huan as emperor, and the regime was completely controlled by Sima Shi. ?
In the fourth year of Jingyuan (AD 263), Si Mazhao launched a war of annihilation, and sent Zhong Hui, Wargo and Zhuge Xu to attack Hanzhong in the east, middle and west. Shu Han, headed by Jiang Wei, formed the Resistance Army. According to Jiange Natural Barrier, it was at loggerheads with Wei Jun.
Wargo led elite troops into Yin Ping, captured Fucheng, and advanced to Chengdu. Liu Chan, the late ruler of Shu Han, surrendered without a fight. When Jiang Wei heard the news, he led his troops to surrender to Zhong Hui. After that, the mutiny failed, he committed suicide and Shu Han perished.
In the second year of Emperor Xianxi (265), Cao Huanchan, the emperor of Cao Wei, was located in the early Yuan Dynasty and became Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. Cao Wei perished.
In 280 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Soochow and unified China, thus ending the Three Kingdoms period and entering the Jin Dynasty.
