Chapter 78 of the original romance of the Three Kingdoms tells the story of Cao Cao's dream. Cao Cao had a strange dream one night, in which three horses were grazing in a trough. Stranger still, this dream is exactly the same as before. Cao Cao is very suspicious and thinks that "Sanma is birds of a feather" is a bad sign. In his first dream, he explained that "Sanma" is Marten and his two sons, "Cao Cao" is his Cao Cao, and Marten family will eat him, which means Marten family poses a complete threat to him. But later Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao, Ma Chao's army in the west was defeated by Cao Cao's army, and Ma Chao himself took refuge in Liu Bei. If this dream means that Marten is a disaster, then this dream should not appear again. Cao Cao was puzzled.
At dawn, Cao Cao called Jia Xu, his cleverest counselor, and asked if the moral of this dream was good or bad. Jia Xu said that these three horses are not ordinary horses, they are "Luma", which is a great omen. Sanma sharing a slot means that a good omen will come to Cao Cao. He suggested that Cao Cao should not worry. Cao Caoxin Jia Xu's words, no longer confused about this dream.
After all, Cao Cao and Jia Xu are not Duke Zhou, and their "dream interpretation" is obviously wrong. In fact, "Sanma" is another person.
Cao Cao named Wei Ruyun the illegitimate son of the Prince, and assisted xelloss. On his deathbed, Xelloss appointed Sima Yi and Cao Zhen as ministers of Fuzheng to assist Cao Cao in Wei Mingdi. At that time, Sima Yi was transferred to important positions such as general, general and Qiu. Ming Di collapsed, and Cao Fang, the orphaned young emperor, was given to Sima Yi and Cao Shuang. After Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, Sima Yi was first excluded by Cao Shuang, and then moved to be a teacher with no real power. Ten years ago (AD 249), Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang to accompany Cao Fang from Luoyang to Ping Ling to sweep the grave, staged a coup and took control of Kyoto. From then on, the military power of Cao Wei fell into the hands of Sima, which was known as the Gao Ping Ling incident. We don't need to know a series of characters, only need to know that Sima Yi initiated the mutiny and raised Cao Cao's descendants.
After Sima Yi's death, his eldest son, Sima Shi, quickly abolished Cao Fang, who was an adult but failed to lead the government, and made 13-year-old Cao Mao emperor, more powerful than Sima Yi, but soon died of illness. When Sima Shi was seriously ill, he gave power to his younger brother Si Mazhao.
After Si Mazhao came to power, he was even more ambitious and always wanted to replace Cao Mao. He kept rooting out dissidents and attacking political enemies. Young Cao Mao knew that even if he was a "puppet" emperor, he wouldn't last long, and he would be removed by Si Mazhao sooner or later, so he planned to take risks and kill Si Mazhao by surprise. Cao Mao personally led hundreds of servants and guards to attack Si Mazhao. Who knows that some ministers have reported the news to Si Mazhao. Si Mazhao immediately sent troops to intercept and killed Cao Mao.
Seeing this, smart readers must know that "Sanma" actually refers to Sima Yi, Sima Shi and Si Mazhao, as well as Sanma, the son of Cao Zhi, who had a quarrel with Sima Shi. Sima Yi was so forbearing when Cao Cao was alive. The cunning Cao Cao didn't realize his ambition, and "Sanma" didn't even think about him.
