Know About The Three Kingdoms (Part4)

Zhu Ge Liang started another campaign againest Cao Wei, Cao Pi's empire. He failed all his northern expeditions except one which he would gain Jiang Wei, the future strategist for Shu. He finaaly died at his last campagin againest Cao Wei, at The Battle Of Wu Zhang Plains. The long years of battle between Shu and Wei saw many changes in the ruling Cao Family in Wei. The Cao Family gradually grew weaker after Cao Pi's death and his son Cao Rui. Sima Yi then intend to usurp the throne. Sima Yi removed Cao Shuang, the current ruler of Wei with a cunning strategy. After Sima Yi's death, his sons Sima Zhao and Shima Shi continuned to wield the power of Wei in thier hands. Sima Zhao eventually removed Cao Fang and replace him with Cao Mao. Cao Mao tried to assisinate Sima Zhao but failed and was killed. After Sima Zhao's death, his son Sima Yan took his place and eventually overthrowed Cao Wei Empire and created Jin Dynasty. He eventually lead a campagin againest Shu-Han another name for Shu. Liu Chan was an inept ruler who listened to the corrupt enunch Huang Hao. When Jin attack Shu-Han, Liu Chan surrendered without even fighting despite having many troops by his side. Therefore, he ended Shu-Han, Liu Bei's lifelong effort. Jin would eventually conqueror Wu as Sun Quan was dead. His sons were incompetent and Sun Hao, current leader of Wu also surrendered without fighting. The Three Kingdoms Era has therefore ended.
