Cao Cao has many wives and concubines, and his sons are as many as 25, and all of them are extraordinary. They have made great contributions to the establishment and consolidation of the Cao Wei regime.
Cao Operation is the most outstanding politician and military strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He has also made remarkable achievements in his family governance. Among his sons are: Cao Ang, who is brave and martial, and Cao Pi, who is both civil and military. Cao Zhi, a talented person, and even more intelligent Cao Chong, and so on, all show that Cao Cao manages the family well and makes his sons all heroes. They did make a lot of efforts and efforts for the consolidation and continuation of the Cao Wei regime, but why did the Cao Wei regime be replaced by the Sima family in the end?
To save Cao Cao, the brave and brave Cao Ang died in Wancheng with Dianwei, a famous general of Wei Wei. He was more than 20 years old.
Although Cao Pi, both civil and military, was the founding emperor of the Wei state, he died young at the age of 40.
The talented Cao Zhi was unable to display his political ambitions, and died in depression at the age of 41.
The brilliant Cao Chong was jealous of talents and died young at the age of 13.
From this we can see that although Cao Cao’s sons are numerous, they basically all died early, and there is no time to completely eliminate hidden dangers for the Cao Wei regime. Even if they are talented, they die young. However, Sima Yi, who was born only 24 years after Cao Cao, lived to be 73 years old. After Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Rui, and Cao Fang, the four generations of Cao Wei regime leadership finally won the military power and laid a solid foundation for the Sima family to later codify Wei Lijin. The Sima family seizing power is a foregone conclusion.
