【Cao Wei's Development】

Cao Cao attacked Guanzhong after the Battle of Chibi and sent Xiahou Yuan to capture Yongliang, further consolidating his advantage in the north, but he did not open the situation of going south for a long time, and was later counterattacked by Liu Bei. In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), Cao Cao died, Cao Pi ascended the throne, usurped the Han Dynasty as emperor, and established the Wei Dynasty.

After the battles of Chibi and Jiangling, Cao Cao took Sun Quan as the primary enemy, and went south from Yangzhou to attack Jiangdong many times, Sun Quan was not to be outdone, and the two sides launched a long-term tug-of-war in the Jianghuai area, each with its own victory and defeat.

From the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208) Sun Quan's first crusade against Hefei, until the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217) in the second battle of Husu Sun Quan sued for peace, Cao Cao retreated, the two sides were deadlocked for ten years, Cao Cao went south several times, launched a large-scale offensive twice, although they have gained, but they can only look at the river and sigh, can not produce a substantial threat to Jiangdong.

In addition to waging a campaign against Sun Quan, Cao Wei's other direction of development was the northwest, when Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou, although nominally subordinate to the imperial court, were in fact divided by the princes.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan, Zhong Xuan and others to crusade against Zhang Lu, which led to the rebellion of Han Sui, Ma Chao and others, so Cao Cao personally led the troops to quell the rebellion, and defeated all the Guanzhong coalition forces led by Han and Ma, and completely occupied the Guanzhong area. After that, Cao Cao used Xiahou Yuan to defend Chang'an, defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui, eliminated Song Jian, and occupied Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Cao Cao sent troops to attack Hanzhong, defeated Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei in Yangping, captured Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu surrendered.

In this regard, the northwest area was completely pacified by the Cao Wei group.

But just as Cao Cao turned his attention to Jiangdong and Northwest, Liu Bei in the south took the opportunity to develop rapidly, and soon occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou, gradually replacing Sun Quan as Cao Cao's greatest enemy. After Liu Bei's forces developed, he actively took an offensive against the Cao Wei group, first Liu Bei launched the Battle of Hanzhong in Yizhou in the 22nd year of Jian'an (217), killed Cao Wei's commander Xiahou Yuan, repelled Cao Cao, and thus occupied Hanzhong.

Later Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), and was once defeated by Ban and Pang De, and surrounded Cao Ren in Fancheng, until Lü Meng attacked Jiangling and other places behind Guan Yu, Guan Yu was forced to retreat. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi took the opportunity to seize the three counties of Shangyong after Meng Da's surrender, and the military confrontation between Cao Wei and Shu Han came to an end.

There was a period of peace between Jiangdong and Cao Wei after the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), and the two sides even joined forces against Liu Bei for a time, but in the later period, Cao Pi thought that Sun Quan was untrustworthy and refused to be a nephew, so the two broke up again, and in the third year of the early Huang Dynasty (222), Cao Pi went south with a three-way army to crusade against Sun Quan, but although the scene was superior, he returned in vain.

【Situation of Shu Han】

Relative to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Bei is extremely prosperous and declining, after standing in Jingzhou, Liu Bei once occupied Yizhou, captured Hanzhong, and then Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, flooded the Seventh Army, Liu Bei's group momentum also reached its peak, as a result, Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou, Liu Bei wanted to recapture and defeated Lu Xun, so Jingzhou was not owned by Shu Han.

After the battles of Chibi and Jiangling, Liu Bei gradually became the new master of Jingzhou, and when he was strongest, he borrowed Nanjun from Sun Quan, inherited part of Jiangxia County from Liu Qi, and occupied the four counties of Jingnan, controlling most of Jingzhou.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), in order to deal with the threat of Cao Cao and others, Liu Zhang listened to Zhang Song's suggestion and sent Fazheng to invite Liu Bei into Sichuan to help him deal with Zhang Lu. The following year, Zhang Song was denounced by his brother Zhang Su, his secret collusion with Liu Bei was exposed, Liu Zhang executed Zhang Song, and the relationship with Liu Bei was officially broken, Liu Bei seized the military power of Yang Huai and others, the general under Liu Zhang, turned south to crusade against Liu Zhang, and transferred Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and others into Shu, surrounded Liu Zhang as Chengdu, and then Ma Chao took refuge in Liu Bei, Liu Zhang was finally forced to surrender, and Yizhou was initially occupied by Liu Bei.

After occupying Yizhou, Liu Bei sent troops north under the persuasion of Fa Zheng and others, first sent Ma Chao and Zhang Fei to seize Hanzhong, Liu Bei personally led the troops to kill Xiahou Yuan, and then Liu Bei stabilized the defense to repel Cao Cao and was able to occupy Hanzhong, and sent Meng Da and Liu Feng to send troops to the east to capture Shangyong and other places. Liu Bei proclaimed himself king in Hanzhong.

However, Liu Bei's power flourished and declined, and while he was developing, he did not take into account the feelings of his ally Sun Quan, and found an excuse to occupy Jingzhou after taking advantage of it, which led to the two sides almost breaking up, and it was under the pressure of Cao Cao that Jingzhou was divided equally with Sun Quan. Later, Liu Bei sat back and watched Guan Yu offend Sun Quan, and finally Sun Quan took the opportunity to attack when Guan Yu sent troops to the Northern Expedition, as a result, Guan Yu died in battle, Jingzhou fell, and the Shu Han power began to decline. Soon Meng Da took refuge in Cao Wei, and Shangyong and other places were also taken away.

Soon after Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, Liu Bei also proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu (221), with the country name "Han" and the year name "Zhang Wu". In the same year, Liu Bei sent troops to avenge Guan Yu, but the following year he was defeated by Lu Xun in Yiling, and he lost his troops and returned to the White Emperor City.

After Cao Pi went south, Liu Bei and Sun Quan reunited, in March of the third year of Zhang Wu (223), Liu Bei was alone in Zhuge Liang, and in April of summer, Liu Bei died of illness at the age of sixty-three.

【Koto's Means】

In the face of the powerful Cao Wei and the rapidly developing Shu Han, Sun Quan played with diplomatic balance, first uniting the weak Liu Bei against the powerful Cao Cao, and after Liu Bei rose, Sun Quan helped Cao Cao suppress Liu Bei and finally won Jingzhou, and the relationship between Sun and Liu broke down for a time. Later, Cao Pi went south to crusade against Sun Quan, and Sun Quan turned to win over the already injured Shu Han, and the relationship between the two began to warm up.

After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan launched the First Battle of Hefei at the same time as Zhou Yu went up the river, but was turned away from Jiancheng and began a tug-of-war with Cao Wei in the Jianghuai area for ten years. During the second crusade against Hefei, Sun Quan besieged 7,000 defenders with an army of 100,000, which not only did not succeed, but made Zhang Liaowei shake Yaojin, and lost both face and lining.

After Liu Bei seized Yizhou, Sun Quan first asked him to return Jingzhou to no avail, and then asked for Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang counties, but was also blocked by Guan Yu, so Sun Quan directly sent Lü Meng to occupy the above three counties, and then negotiated peace with Liu Bei to divide Jingzhou equally. After making peace with Cao Cao, Sun Quan sat back and watched Cao Cao and Liu Bei compete for power, and finally chose to fall out with Liu Bei under the persuasion of Lü Meng and others, and completely seized Jingzhou.

In order to prevent being attacked by Cao Wei and Shu Han at the same time, Sun Quan vigorously wooed Cao Pi, and did not hesitate to promise to take his son as a hostage, and Cao Pi also named Sun Quan as the king of Wu, but after Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun in Yiling, Sun Quan's attitude towards Cao Pi began to change, Cao Pi hated Sun Quan for fooling himself, so he sent a large army south, Sun Quan barely resisted, and then Cao Wei and Sun Wu fought again, and never stopped.
