When Zhuge Liang decided to start the Fourth Northern Expedition, Cao Wei's grand Sima Cao Xiu and general Cao Zhen died of illness one after another, leaving only Chen Qun and Sima Yi behind the four auxiliary ministers of Cao Pi's era.
And Chen Qun is also the leader of Sima Yi's horse, so in the Cao Wei Court, sima Yi's rise has no one to curb, which has to be said to be Cao Wei's death, so how did Sima Yi rise step by step?

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > (i) Conspiracy Boy Sima Yi</h1>
Continued: In the past two or three years, "thanks to" the military-master alliance series, Sima Yi and the Sima family have been washed white to an incomparable point, and Sima Yi is even more fascinating and omnipotent, but is this really the case in history?
Everyone in the world says that Cao Cao is a traitor and a cunning conspiracy, but Cao Cao is similar to the crowd in the chaotic world, and he has worked hard to fight for the hegemony of the base and family business.
However, sima yi, the "great army division", was different, this person was far inferior to Cao Cao in addition to his sinister cunning and cunning, and his great talent was roughly the same.
Sima Yi (司馬懿), courtesy name Zhongda, was a high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty during his grandfather's time, and his father Sima Fang was an official in Jingzhaoyin.
When Sima Yi was young, he was very clever and knowledgeable, and Shangshu Cui Yan admired him very much, and said to Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang:
"Your brother is smart, decisive, and heroic, not something you can match."
In the sixth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (201 AD), just after the End of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao, who was then Sikong, heard of Sima Yi's reputation and sent someone to recruit him to Sikong Province as an official.
However, at that time, Sima Yi disliked the origin of the Cao clan and feared Cao Cao's power, so he excused himself from the wind paralysis and refused to resign.
After the emissary returned to report, how could Cao Cao believe it, so he sent someone to secretly go to Sima Yi's house at night to check it out.
Sima Yi naturally knew that Cao Cao was suspicious and would send someone back, so he lay motionless on the bed, which was considered to be a dodge.
However, at that time, those who dared to play with Cao Cao's hearts and minds did not have a good end, and Cao Cao was busy sweeping away the forces of the Yuan clan and the Wuhuan forces in the north, so naturally he did not bother to take care of the sick Sima Yi.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), when Cao Cao was the chancellor of the Great Han Dynasty, he once again wanted to recruit Sima Yi to become an official, how could he hide from Cao Cao for these little tricks of Sima Yi?
So Cao Cao told the emissary that if Sima Yi was still lying on the bed pretending to be dead as before, he would arrest him and bring him back to me.
After Sima Yi heard these words, he was very frightened, and no longer dared to pretend to be ill, so he had to obediently come out and take up his post, and then successively served as a waiter at the Yellow Gate, a huilang, a member of the Eastern Cao clan of the Prime Minister, and a master of the Book of the Prime Minister.
However, according to the Book of Jin, Emperor Xuandiji, cao Cao soon discovered that Sima Yi had heroic ambitions and the so-called "wolf gu xiang".
This led to cao cao's more and more jealousy of Sima Yi, so Cao Cao said to Cao Pi:
Sima Yi is not a willing subordinate, and will certainly interfere in the affairs of our family.
But what is the result? Because Cao Pi and Sima Yi had a good relationship and always defended him, Sima Yi was able to do nothing, and Sima Yi was loyal to his duties since then, sleeping and forgetting to eat, and gained Cao Cao's trust.
This is nonsense, Sima Yi does have superiority, but we cannot use the results to reverse what kind of person he is.
Just to say that his wolf-like appearance, Cao Cao's kind of suspicious person, if he really saw that Sima Yi would interfere in Cao Wei's major politics, he would have chopped him up long ago, and would he still say that to Cao Pi? And Cao Pi is really silly cute, so trust Sima Yi?
A bad person, perhaps, he is originally a heinous person, but more bad people are slowly discovering the potential darkness in their hearts, so that they will be bad to the end, sexual goodness and sexual evil, this is the truth.
After Sima Yi followed Cao Cao, it did show his extraordinary insight.
In the twentieth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (215 AD), after Cao Cao pacified Zhang Lu in one fell swoop, Sima Yi was also in the army, when Liu Bei had just occupied Yizhou, and personally led an army of 50,000 people to the east to fight with Sun Quan.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Ye and Sima Yi successively found Cao Cao and said to him:
"Liu Bei used ruse to capture Liu Zhang, and before the people of Shu could return to him, they raised troops to fight for Jiangling, which was a good time to break Liu. If Chen Bing demonstrated in Hanzhong today, Yizhou would be shaken and uneasy, and if he entered the army to threaten, the Shu army would inevitably disintegrate. Take this opportunity and you'll be able to get it done. Saints cannot violate the time, nor can they lose time. ”
This plan was indeed poisonous, and Cao Cao was also very moved, but at that time, Cao Cao was constantly fighting for many years, and zhang Lu was originally recruited for lack of food and war, and he wanted to retire.
If it were not for a group of elk breaking into zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei's military camp in the middle of the night, causing Zhang Lu's army to be in chaos, it is unknown whether Cao Cao could have taken Hanzhong.
Therefore, for this unexpected victory, Cao Cao knew in his heart how much moisture there was.
At this moment, although Liu Bei was not in Yizhou, but Zhuge Liang was there, Liu Bei had a larger piece of land for so many years, how could he be taken away so easily?
So with Cao Jun's current state, can he lay down Yizhou? Therefore, Cao Cao said to Sima Yi:
"People are bitter and dissatisfied, they have already obtained long right, and they still want to get Shudi, which is the lack of adequacy of people's hearts."
Therefore, he did not listen to Sima Yi's plan. But this time, Sima Yi's insight was indeed evident, and after that, Sima Yi also followed Cao Cao's eastern expedition against Sun Quan.
After defeating Sun Quan, sun Quan, while declaring himself a vassal to Cao Cao, actually persuaded Cao Cao to claim the title of emperor, and Cao Cao smiled and said to the crowd after seeing it:
"Sun Quan Xiao'er wants to put the lonely on the charcoal of the stove!"
But at this time, Sima Yi said:
"The national fortunes of the Han Dynasty are coming to an end, and you are very good at the world, and you are still obedient to the Han." Nowadays, Sun Quan's title of subject is in accordance with the will of heaven and man. ”
And this is the reason why Cao Cao trusted Sima Yi, that is, Sima Yi persuaded Cao Cao to claim the title of emperor, unlike Xun Yu, Sima Yi did not care at all about usurping power, and fame and reputation were always dispensable things in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to the twenty-fourth year of the Han Xian Emperor Jian'an (219 AD), at this time, Sima Yi began to assist Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, the King of Wei, and was deeply trusted and valued by Cao Pi.
And the relationship with the later Shang Shuling, Sikong Chen Qun, and Wu Qian and others was quite good, because they were all scholars, looked down on the cold door, and were more convinced that the power of the officials in the world should be in the hands of the scholars.
Therefore, it was simply impossible for Sima Yi and Chen Qun to get along with Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and others.
In October of the same year, when Guan Yu attacked Xiangfan in the north, captured more than 30,000 people in the Forbidden Seventh Army, beheaded Pound, and besieged Cao Renman in Xiangfan, Wei Zhenhua, Cao Cao had planned to move the capital, at this time, Sima Yi and Jiang Ji also expressed their views:
"The fact that Yu Ban was flooded by heavy waters was not a tactical mistake, and there was no major loss to the overall situation of the country, so moving the capital for this reason would not only show weakness to the enemy, but also make people in the Huai River and Han Shui area unstable."
"Liu Bei and Sun Quan are alienated from each other, and now that Guan Yu is sitting on the throne, Sun Quan must be uneasy, and inform Sun Quan of this matter, so that he can contain Guan Yu, and then the siege of Fancheng will be solved by himself."
The poison of this plan and the accurate analysis of Sun Liu's alliance were enough to show Sima Yi's resourcefulness, and in the end, Guan Yu and the entire Army of Jingzhou were completely destroyed, which had a considerable relationship with Sima Yi's plan!
Therefore, this person is the enemy of the Great Han, and even more the enemy of Zhuge Liang.
Later, when Cao Pi ascended the throne as empress, Sima Yi's spring came, and when Cao Pi conquered Eastern Wu, Sima Yi always stayed behind in Xuchang, and Cao Pi once said this to Sima Yi:
"I will use sun quan to the east, and you should be the prime minister of Luoyang; I am in Luoyang, and you should be the prime minister of the eastern crusade against Sun Quan."
Therefore, Cao Pi still attached great importance to Sima Yi, so that when Cao Pi died of illness, two of the four ministers who assisted the government were from the Cao clan and were in charge of military affairs.
Naturally, it was Cao Zhen, a general of the Chinese army, and Cao Xiu, a general of the Zhengdong Army. The two were warriors, in charge of government affairs, namely Chen Qun, the general of the Zhen Army, and Sima Yi, the general of the Fu Army.
This time, Sima Yi's position once again rose, and when the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui had just ascended the throne, Sima Yi defeated the invading Eastern Wu Zhuge Jin, beheaded the Wu general Zhang Ba, and more than a thousand Eastern Wu soldiers, so he was promoted to the rank of General of the Hussars for his merits.
However, although Sima Yi had a higher status, there were Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, and Sima Yi could not turn over the waves, because Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen did not deal with Sima Yi.
But in fact, on the one hand, it was to prevent Sima Yi from overlying the military power of Jingyu, and on the other hand, it was because of the struggle between Sima Yi and the soldiers represented by Chen Qun and the Cao clan relatives represented by Cao Xiu Cao Zhen, especially the Nine Pins Zhongzheng system promoted by Chen Qun, which was quite hateful in the eyes of the Cao clan!
However, at this time, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu all died, and Chen Qun was also a member of Sima Yi's faction, and above the court, the Cao clan had the ability and qualifications to restrain Sima Yi, except for the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui, there was no one left.
At this time, the commander of the western front of the Wei army, Emperor Wei Ming, could only be handed over to Sima Yi, who was then a general, a governor of the capital, and a fake Huang Yu, because in the process of capturing Meng Da, Sima Yi performed too well, so the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui said to Sima Yi:
"The West is a serious matter, and it is not a matter of being subordinate."
Therefore, the candidate for the commander who resisted Zhuge Liang this time was none other than him.
After that, Sima Yi also came to Chang'an, and the general Zhang Guo, the rear general Fei Yao, the Yongzhou assassin Shi Guohuai, and the Shu protector Dai Ling came to defend against Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi's first official confrontation with Zhuge Liang began!
