In the tenth year of Wei Zhengshi's reign, Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Incident. General Cao Shuang changed the course of history and refused to hand over power. He followed the advice of the think tank Huan Fan and moved to Xuchang with the young emperor Cao Fang to spread the word to the world to fight against rebellion. Facing Sima Yi's oath to Luoshui, the Cao Shuang Group used Xuchang as its foundation to stabilize its internal affairs, and united with Wang Ling and other forces from Huainan to launch a fierce contest with the Sima Yi Group entrenched in Luoyang.
With the assistance of Huan Fan, Cao Shuang first defeated Sima Zhao at Gishui, then conquered Xuanyuan Pass in a bloody battle, and finally used the ingenious plan of flooding Luoyang to completely wipe out Sima Yi's forces and return the court victoriously. After losing power to both the government and the opposition, Cao Shuang took advantage of the power of unifying the north and started the great cause of unification. On the western front, he reused Deng Ai and crossed the Yinping with a surprise force, destroying the Shu Han in a devastating manner; in the southeast, he worked hard to build a powerful navy. Taking advantage of the chaos in Wu, he sent his troops across the river, defeated Jianye in one fell swoop, and pacified Soochow.
Since then, China, which had been divided for nearly a hundred years, was reunited. Cao Shuang assisted the emperor, achieved great martial arts achievements that surpassed those of his father, and ushered in the heyday of the Wei Dynasty.
