The Sima family completely seized power after the change of Gaopingling, the Cao family's decades of bloodshed was actually the Sima family's wedding dress, Cao Shuang was also temporarily brain-dead, the emperor could still surrender in his hand, and Xiahou Xuan was regarded as the hope of the Cao family, but he also obediently returned to Luoyang and was removed from the military power, Xiahou Xuan was originally a fake festival, the governor of Yongzhou, Liangzhou military, there is a capital, why did not fight it?
In fact, Xiahou Xuan's career path was not smooth, some people had already seen through Xia Houxuan and rated him as just a dry bone in the tomb, how could he possibly confront the Sima family? Xiahou Xuan was great in metaphysics, creating a precedent for Wei and Jin metaphysics, and was the leader of metaphysics, but his influence in the army was not great.
At first, he had offended the Ming Emperor Cao Rui, and Xiahou Xuan had offended Empress Mao's brother, which in turn had offended Cao Rui. "(Xuan) tasted and sat with empress brother Mao Zeng, who was ashamed of him, displeased with the form of the color, and the Ming Emperor hated it." It is also possible that Cao Rui considered that his sister was the daughter-in-law of the Sima family, and that their family background was indeed not as influential as Cao Zhen, so he did not attach importance to Xiahou Xuan, and if Cao Pi was the force that suppressed the Cao and Xiahou clans, controlled them, and did not let them become bigger, then when Cao Rui came to Cao Rui, it directly became clear and not reused, and the demise of the Cao family In addition to the early death of the monarch, there was also a large part of the premature suppression of clans, too many reused clans, after all, there is no unification, there are two other countries, should balance the relationship.
The Wei monarch suppressed the clan relatives and led to the late Cao Wei forces have disappeared, the Three Kingdoms is essentially a three-kingdom struggle, in fact, it is a struggle of the family forces, such as the Eastern Wu family was attacked afterwards, sitting and watching the western Jin Dynasty perish, while the Northern Ruying family was devastated when the Western Jin Dynasty fell, none of them survived, the northern family was originally powerful, of course, united with the family Sima Shi, Sima thought that becoming the boss of the family, can be bullish, who knows actually became a scapegoat.
Xiahou Xuan was only promoted when Cao Shuang was in power, "At the beginning of the beginning, Cao Shuang assisted the government. Xuan, Shuang's sister-in-law also. Tired and scattered to ride Chang Shi, the middle protector", but Xiahou Xuan did not have prestige in the army, participating in the most important military operation instead became the laughing stock of the Wei people, that is, the Battle of LuoGu, and this battle was also doomed to xiahou Xuan's end, without an edict, it was impossible to lead the army to meet the Sima family, "with Cao Shuang to revitalize the Battle of LuoGu, when people ridiculed it", this battle is also known as the Battle of Xingshi, it is said that the Wei army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and 100,000 troops were severely damaged by the Shu army led by Wang Ping, this should be true, This may also be one of the reasons why Xiahou Xuan was unable to lead his troops to fight back against the Sima family, the defeated generals were not recognized by the generals, and he could not send troops because the defeat at the Battle of Luogu was probably even more ugly than the Battle of Chibi. After that, the Shu state shifted from defense to attacking Jiang Wei several times and the Wei state was tired of defense. Therefore, Xiahou Xuan simply could not draw troops. If he had to draw troops back to the capital City, Jiang Wei would not be able to take the opportunity to attack Guanzhong.
Cao Shuang was still incompetent, relying on the clan relatives to become a great general, at that time, if like Cao Cao, blackmailed the son of heaven to order the princes, the emperor was in your place, closed the news, spread the holy will to dispatch troops to fight Sima Yi, great things can be accomplished. Himself afraid of death, did not have a long head, Sima Yi gave a few good words, thinking that he would not kill him, from this point alone shows that he is too naïve, Sima Yi did not control the emperor when he launched the coup, the second did not control the army, it is reasonable to say that the victory is not big, but Cao Shuang is too timid and incompetent to succeed, but the descendants of the Sima family continue to live in the coup, it is also retribution.
If Cao Shuang is tough, Xiahou Xuan can still make a difference, as long as Xiahou Xuanshi is famous, if there is no emperor's order to send troops, it is a rebellion, the generals will not follow, Xiahou Xuan is in Cao Shuang's position, will not lose control, as for the Yongliang Field Corps, but he can not control. Sima Yi had some influence on the Yongliang Corps, but it was not fundamental, otherwise it would not have happened that Han Hu rode thousands of times to pursue Guo Huai's wife Wang Lingmei. If Cao Shuang did not surrender, Wang Ling would certainly support him, Xiahou Xuanguohuai and others would also respond, and Sima Yi could hardly find help in the heavy army group. Cao Shuang surrendered, creating a domino effect, and cao's power collapsed. The Jin Dynasty really came easily.
