Jin Yi and others plotting against Cao Cao would not save the eastern Han Dynasty from extinction, but it was only right for them to choose

Jin Yi et al. plotted against Cao Cao (Total No. 283)

These things are the most important in the Zizhi Tongjian

Reading history shows that Jin Yi, Geng Ji, Wei Huang and others wanted to emulate Cao Cao's practice and hold Tianzi hostage, and in turn to recruit Cao Wei. Let's assume that they conquered Cao Wei as they wished, so can they really let the Eastern Han Dynasty survive? Of course not!

Let's review the relevant historical facts:

Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Emperor Xiaoxian Ji (孝贤帝紀) "When there was Jing Zhaojin Yi (京兆金祎), the character Dewei (德伟), who thought he was a Han courtier, was angry, and together with Geng Ji and Wei Huang wanted to blackmail Tianzi to attack Wei and aid Liu Bei in the south. Defeated, Yi Three Tribes. In the first month of the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218), Jin Yi, the official of Jingzhao Shangji, and the Taiyi Ling Jiben, Shaofu Gengji, Sizhi Weihuang, and others launched an anti-Cao rebellion, taking advantage of the night to attack Shi Wangbi, the chancellor at Xudu (present-day Xuchang, Henan), burning the gate and shooting Wang Bi in the shoulder. In the end, Yan Kuang was pacified by Wang Bi and Yingchuan Diannong Zhonglang, and Jin Yi, Yoshimoto and other soldiers were defeated and beheaded, and the three tribes were killed.

Even if their actions had not failed, and they had the misfortune to kill Cao Cao, it would have been like Erzhu Zhao, who threatened the Northern Wei regime, who had died at the hands of Gao Huan, the lord of the state Tuoba Clan had to run to Chang'an because of Gao Huan's arbitrariness, and go to Yuwen Tai, and in the end, Tuoba Clan could only watch the Northern Wei regime being taken by Yuwen Tai, not just like after Dong Zhuo was killed, Emperor Xiandi of Han could not stay safely in Chang'an for a day. In the end, just like the fate of the Tuoba clan, the Han Xian Emperor would not even be able to save his life.

Therefore, it can be said that the world has become so, no matter who it is, the efforts made to save the Eastern Han Dynasty will be a bamboo basket to draw water, not to mention that Dong Cheng's plan to protect Emperor Xiandi of Han is not a plan, and the plot of Empress Fuquan, the father of Emperor Fu of Han, is even more unbearable, as for the actions of Jin Yi and others, it is simply impossible to say that they are.

That being said, it's so tragic, it still makes us awe-inspired. At this point in the development of the situation, Jin Yi, Geng Ji and Wei Huang, even if they were brave and strategic, they could no longer come up with countermeasures to save the Han Room, like them, with the loyalty of the state to donate the lives of the three ethnic groups to die with the country, knowing that it would not be successful, but the righteous indignation could not allow them not to shoot the case, they could only say a sigh: Too magnificent!

Because of this, we can assert that Sun Quan was a man who could not be blamed, and he had resentment towards Liu Bei because Guan Yu forcibly seized Jingzhou, so he asked Cao Cao to surrender, making Cao Cao even more unscrupulous. Guan Yu sent troops from Xiangfan and Deng County to kill Wancheng and Luoyang, and with a grudge to fight with Sun Wu for his life and death, Cao Cao smiled secretly on the side, just sit and wait for his defeat of Guan Yu.

As courtiers of the Han Dynasty who did not want to renege from beginning to end, except for the three people mentioned above who swore to martyr the country with Emperor Xian of Han at the cost of their lives to repay the Han Dynasty's social welfare, the others were some greedy, or resentful and strong people. However, when the loyal soldiers have no chance to wait, how do they choose?
