Next, let's talk about a person who has been enlightened like thunder, and he is Sima Yi.

Some people say, "The Cao family was succeeded by Xiahou and defeated by Sima" - both are compound surnames.

Yes, when Cao Cao raised his army, in addition to his clansmen, he actively responded to him, that is, the Xiahou brothers, and then fought the country and determined the world, and the Xiahou clan also followed him before and after the saddle; And Cao's Wei Dynasty was taken away by Sima.

Sima Yi learned from Cao Cao how to seize power: he was alive, or the Wei Dynasty, he only served as a powerful minister, not power, but, like Cao Cao, he laid a good foundation for his son to change the dynasty, and after his death, his son usurped the world of the Wei Dynasty.

In fact, Sima Yi was the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

His grandson Sima Yan was called the emperor, and he was posthumously honored as Emperor Gaozu Xuan, known as Emperor Gaozu of Jin and Emperor Xuan of Jin, not just to be polite, he was a veritable founding emperor.

…… ……

Sima Yi (179 - September 7, 251), known as Zhongda, was born in Wuyang Village, Xiaojingli, Wen County, Hanoi County, Sizhou (now Zhaoxian Town, Wen County, Henan Province), born in the scholar family, a famous politician and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, and the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty. He served as the governor, general, lieutenant, and master of Cao Wei, and was an important minister who assisted the four generations of Wei to assist the Gu auxiliary government, and later became a powerful minister who controlled the Wei dynasty.

The most significant achievement is that he led the army twice to successfully resist Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and the expedition to pacify Liaodong, and made important contributions to the development of agricultural economy such as tuntian and water conservancy. His son Sima Zhao was called the queen and posthumously honored as the king of Jin; His grandson Sima Yan was called the emperor and was posthumously honored as Emperor Gaozu Xuan, so he was also called Emperor Gaozu of Jin and Emperor Xuan of Jin.

…… ……

Sima Yi's great-grandfather Sima Jun was the general of the expedition to the west during the Han Emperor's reign, his great-grandfather Sima Liang was Yuzhang Taishou, his grandfather Sima Jun was Yingchuan Taishou, and his father Sima Fang was Jing Zhaoyin.

Sima Fangyu had eight sons, because there was a "Da" character in the word, and it was known as "Sima Bada" at that time.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sima Yi was born in troubled times, his family had eight brothers, he was the second, although he was a "scholar family", but, in the troubled years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the family situation was not necessarily abundant.

Yang Jun, the Taishou of Nanyang, is known for knowing people and being good at things, and before Sima Yi was twenty years old, Yang Jun had seen him and said that he was by no means an ordinary son.

Shangshu Cui Yan was friendly with Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, and once said to Sima Lang: "Your brother is smart and sensible, decisive, and heroic, which is not comparable to you." ”

Sima Yi had a good relationship with the famous hermit Hu Zhao when he was a teenager.

Because of the grudge with Zhou Sheng and others in the same county and was murdered, Hu Zhao immediately went into danger to find out, found Zhou Sheng and his party between the mountains and ponds, and begged them to let Sima Yi go, Zhou Sheng refused at first, but Hu Zhao's sincerity in crying finally moved him and saved Sima Yi.

It is estimated that at this time, Sima Yi is not married. Confusing the heart is the trace of insolence that has not yet been established.

…… ……

Sima Yi married late.

His wife Zhang Chunhua gave birth to his eldest son Sima Shi when he was 29 years old - of course, he may have given birth to a daughter before Sima Shi, or he may have died young, but Zhang Chunhua gave birth to Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Sima Gan, and his daughter Princess Nanyang, even if Zhang Chunhua can give birth again, how many can he have? Therefore, Sima Yi didn't get married until he was 25 years old at the earliest, which was considered a very late marriage for men around the age of 15 in the Three Kingdoms era.

His wife, Zhang Chunhua (189-247), a native of Pinggao, Hanoi (present-day Wen County, Henan), was the daughter of Zhang Wang, the daughter of Zhang Wang, who was 10 years younger than Sima Yi.

She looks average, but she is talented, her life completely revolves around Sima Yi, she has paid a lot for Sima Yi, and her achievements are very remarkable, and the biggest harvest and merit is to give birth to and cultivate Sima Shi and Sima Zhao for Sima Yi, so that the career of the Sima family will be inherited. It can be said that Zhang Chunhua is the most outstanding one in terms of intelligence and contribution among all the women of Sima Yi.

In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), the county elected Sima Yi as Ji Peng.

When Cao Cao was serving as the secretary, after hearing his reputation, he sent someone to summon him to serve in the palace.

Sima Yi saw that the fortunes of the Han Dynasty were in decline and did not want to be under Cao Cao, so he refused to resign on the grounds that he had wind paralysis and could not live physically. Cao Cao didn't believe it, so he sent someone to spy on the news at night, and Sima Yi lay there, motionless, as if he was really infected with wind paralysis.

However, one day when the books were drying and suddenly encountered a heavy rainstorm, Sima Yi couldn't help but jump up and hurriedly collect the books, and this scene was seen by a maidservant girl at home.

His wife Zhang Chunhua was worried that Sima Yi's pretending illness would leak and cause disaster, so she killed the maidservant with her own hands.

After the maidservant died, there was no one to cook for a while, so Zhang Chunhua put down the dignity of a woman and personally went to the stove to cook for Sima Yi. Such a wife, of course, Sima Yi values it very much.

Zhang Chunhua is a ruthless character.

…… ……

After Cao Cao became prime minister, he used coercive means to dismiss Sima Yi as a literary scholar.

Cao Cao said to the messenger, "If you review Huan, you will accept it."

Meaning, if he wants to grind and chirp again, he will arrest it!

Sima Yi was afraid and had to take office. Cao Cao asked him to travel with the crown prince, and successively served as the Huangmen squire, the councilor, the prime minister of Dong Cao, and the prime minister's chief bookkeeper.

According to "Wei Luo", Sima Yi was studious, Cao Hong thought he was talented, and wanted Sima Yi to help him, but Sima Yi was ashamed to associate with Cao Hong and pretended to be on crutches. Cao Hong hated Sima Yi and went to make a small report to Cao Cao, Cao Cao recruited Sima Yi, and Sima Yi immediately threw away his crutches to see Cao Cao to serve him.

Cao Cao gradually noticed that Sima Yi "had heroic ambitions", and found that he had "wolf Gu Zhixiang (that is, his neck can turn backwards like a wolf)", and he was very taboo in his heart.

Therefore, he said to Cao Pi, "Sima Yi is not a person who is willing to be a subordinate, and he will definitely interfere in our family's affairs." ”

However, because Cao Pi and Sima Yi had a good relationship and always protected him, he was able to do nothing, so Sima Yi was diligent in his duties and forgot to sleep and eat, so Cao Cao felt at ease (at that time, there were still many gate lords and bureaucrats under Cao Cao, who were jealous of Cao Cao, and Sima Yi may have already expressed support for Cao Cao on this key issue, and was gradually accepted and reused. It's important to support and support your boss).

…… ……

Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, and Sima Yi accompanied the army. He said to Cao Cao: "Liu Bei used trickery to capture Liu Zhang, and the Shu people did not belong and fought for the distant Jiangling, this is an opportunity to break Shu, and it should not be missed." If Chen soldiers demonstrate in Hanzhong today, Yizhou will be shaken and uneasy, and if the troops are threatened, the Shu soldiers will inevitably collapse, and take advantage of this good opportunity to succeed. A saint cannot violate the time, nor can he lose time. ”

Cao Cao said: "People are not satisfied, they have Longright, and they want to get Shu." ”

Not from its count.

In the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), Cao Pi was named the crown prince of Wei. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Sima Yi was promoted to the prince's concubine, Sasuke Cao Pi. When Sima Yi "had a great plan, there was a strange strategy", which was trusted and reused by Cao Pi.
