| | Cao Fang |
 | | Zhuge was able to deal Sima's forces a major blow, but Sima maintained himself well by making humble admissions of faults to the public and promoting the generals who tried to stop his campaign. |
 | | In 253, after Sima defeated Zhuge in a major battle, his reputation was established, while Zhuge's own was undermined (due to Zhuge's failure to admit fault), and Zhuge soon fell while Sima's power was affirmed. |
 | | After Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan usurped the throne in 265, thus ending Cao Wei and establishing Jin Dynasty, Cao Fang, along with all Cao Wei princes, was reduced in rank to Duke (Duke of Shaoling). |
