In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebel Army launched a fierce attack on the bureaucratic landlords, thus opening the prelude to the era of nearly a hundred years of war, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, the warlord Dong Zhuo controlled the imperial court, but within a few years Dong Zhuo was killed by Lü Bu.
At this time, Cao Cao also stepped onto the stage of history, relying on the political advantage of "holding the son of heaven to order the princes", successively eliminated Lü Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and other separatist forces, in the Battle of the White Wolf Mountain, Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao led the vanguard troops, broke Wuhuan and killed Wuhuan Shan Yu, and then pacified Liaoning, and finally agreed to the north.
Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei also intended to help Liu Bei revitalize the Han Dynasty and complete the great cause of unification, and under the impetus of his and Sun Quan's adviser Lu Su, Sun Liu formed an alliance and defeated Cao Cao's Cao army in the Battle of Chibi, thus laying the foundation for the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, after which Cao Cao went south several times, and Sun Quan also went north several times, but neither side got a advantage.
In 220 AD, Cao Cao's son Cao Pi usurped the Title of Emperor of Han after Cao Cao's death, and built the capital Luoyang, known as Cao Wei in history; the following year, Liu Bei continued the Han Dynasty and was proclaimed Emperor in Chengdu, historically known as Shu Han; Sun Quan was crowned King of Wu by Cao Pi in 222 AD, and later proclaimed Emperor at Wuchang in 229, historically known as Eastern Wu, and since then the Three Kingdoms have been officially established.
Although Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei led the Northern Expedition many times, they did not change the pattern of the three-legged standing, and the strength of Shu Han had long been greatly damaged, and it was the weakest of the Three Kingdoms, but when Liu Chan ascended the throne, Eastern Wu was infighting, and Sima Shi of Cao Wei was even plotting to seize the power of the Cao family.
But Shu Han was the first to perish, and "Sima Zhao's heart, known to everyone", but Sima Zhao did not call himself emperor, and his son Sima Yan forced Cao Wei's emperor Cao Yan to make him emperor, establishing the Jin Dynasty, known as the Western Jin Dynasty, in 280 AD, Eastern Wu fell, the Three Kingdoms era ended completely, and the Western Jin Dynasty unified the world.
In the TV series, basically only the history of the Three Kingdoms before the establishment of the Three Kingdoms and the end of the Three Kingdoms is filmed, why not shoot the events after Sima Yan unified the Three Kingdoms? Expert: It's too tragic.
Many people think that the dispute between the Three Kingdoms is the most exciting, the appearance of various heroes can drive the audience's emotions, although the Western Jin Dynasty unified the world, but it was only nominally unified, the magnate group did not really submit to Sima Yan, the internal undercurrents were surging and dangerous, and Sima Yan did not exert efforts to govern after the destruction of Shu Han and Eastern Wu, but indulged in pleasure.
Therefore, the Western Jin Dynasty soon ushered in the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", "The Rebellion of the Eight Kings" was one of the most serious imperial civil unrest in the history of our country, which later led to the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty and the turmoil of three hundred years, and the northern part of the Central Plains entered the Period of Wuhu Chaos, and a large number of people and clans began to cross south.
The Western Jin Dynasty began in 266 and died in 316, lasting 50 years and serving 4 emperors, but since the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Zheng, there has been no power, let alone any outstanding merits, and the third emperor Sima Chi and the last emperor Sima Yi were also killed by the Han Zhao emperor Liu Cong.
The only thing that the Western Jin Dynasty could do was to end the Dispute of the Three Kingdoms, but the situation brought by the Western Jin Dynasty was far more chaotic than the Dispute of the Three Kingdoms, and the situation could only be described as "chaotic, very chaotic, very chaotic", so the director was not good at shooting this historical story, and basically only filmed until Sima Yan unified the Three Kingdoms and stopped filming.
