There is a simple reason. Cao is a lean generation, his strategy and courage are second to none, and he is good at knowing people and employing people. In addition, with the existence of Lao Cao and the return of his subordinates, it is much more difficult for Sima Jia to seize territory from Lao Cao than from Cao Cao's descendants. We use Cao Cao's tactics of fighting to make a concrete analysis:
First, Cao Cao's generation is lean, good at fighting and skillful in strategy. Under the command of Cao Cao, Sima Yi may not dare to talk nonsense, and he can't touch the mountains and rivers of Cao Wei. It can be said that Cao Cao personally led the troops, shot down one battle after another, and did it himself. Under the slogan of supporting the emperor and establishing princes, he wooed a group of gentry groups in Yingchuan County and Xiahou clan in Peixian County, Qiaoxian County. Under his leadership, people of insight came to vote in succession. However, we also see that failure is also an experience. It is Cao Cao's unique personality charm, political means and superb strategy that consolidated Cao Wei's position and became the most powerful force that can control the world situation.
Second, Cao Cao has his own unique personality charm, and he knows how to make good use of people. As long as Lao Cao is in Qixin, all those civil servants and military commanders are anxious to return, and Sima Yi dare not say anything under his command. According to Lao Cao's viciousness, Sima Yi will be killed if he is slightly unfaithful. In fact, in the late Wei Dynasty, Cao Cao had taken precautions against Sima Yi, but was Cao Pi, Cao Cao's successor, biting compared with his father Cao? Cao Pi is no match for Sima Yi at all.
So when Cao Cao's front foot died, Sima Yi couldn't hold back his ambition and walked from behind the scenes to the front desk like a buffoon.
It is precisely because of Cao Cao's death that his descendants are inferior to each other. Finally, in 249 AD, Sima Yi launched a coup in Gao Ping Ling, killing Cao Shuang, the last member of the royal family, and more than 5,000 of his followers. He took control of the Cao Wei regime by cruel killing and political deception, and then brazenly inherited his power. After three generations of governance by Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Si Mazhao and Sima Yan, he died in 17 years.
There is no if in this world, maybe the wicked have their own grinding. If Cao lived for another twenty years, the Sima family might not be able to seize the country in the hands of Lao Cao.
