However, all is not peaceful in the land. Rival states Shu Han and Eastern Wu are plotting war, and when Cao Pi dies, his son succeeds to the throne – and turns to Sima Yi for help.
When the new emperor falls critically ill, he is forced to announce his young adopted son as heir. As the emperor's condition deteriorates, he appoints Sima Yi and strong-minded general Cao Shuang (Du Yi Heng) as joint regents of the Cao Wei state.
