After some discussion, Sima Lang, who sent the family to send back letters, finally chose to agree to Gao Zhi's invitation, and officially decided to join Lu Bu's command by following Gao Zhi's command.

So far, Gao Zhi has gathered two talented people for Lu Bu, the Xun family and the Sima family, and they are all among the best families in terms of power.

You must know that at this time, the late Han Dynasty was rampant in the place, firmly controlling the Qing Dynasty, academics, and even the way of eunuchs.

Emperor Guangwu Yang Nanyang, Hebei and other powerful forces only in the revival of the Han Dynasty, although there were many strategies to suppress the strong and powerful, but it still inevitably caused the expansion of local powerful forces.

The Eastern Han Dynasty relied on powerful landlords to establish a political power, and gradually formed the so-called "well-dressed and noble clans" (generations of officials) or prestigious surname clans, scattered in various states and counties. In the struggle against the eunuchs, they exchanged voices and supported each other. After the defeat of the eunuchs, the contradictions within the nobles intensified.

The growing strength of the scholar clan in politics, economy, and culture directly threatened the imperial power, so the Eastern Han Dynasty repeatedly appeared that the emperor was close to the eunuchs and authorized the eunuchs to interfere in politics to attack the scholars.

The power struggle between the eunuchs and the scholars lasted for nearly a hundred years, and finally ended with Yuan Shao, who was born as a scholar, leading troops into the palace to kill all the eunuchs.

It's just that in this way, the balance of the court situation was broken, and the scholars began to fight for power and profit within the clan after they had no eunuchs and other old enemies, which caused Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing to clean up the court.

???????? Dong Zhuo also chose to cooperate with the Yuan clan at first, recruiting everywhere, and also hoping that the Shi clan could give him political support.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is disdainful of his side, his family background is not obvious, he was excluded from the circle of scholars, and the scholars who appointed the state and county were also repeatedly betrayed.

Especially after the trusted scholars Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi repeatedly coaxed Dong Zhuo to treat the scholars with courtesy and recruit the scholars as officials, but after the scholars rebelled after taking office in the locality, Dong Zhuo tore his face and openly became enemies of the Kwantung scholars.

???? This is also the cause and effect of the two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the death of Emperor Ling.

???? A peck and a drink, all have a fixed number.

The strength of the family was very significant in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Xun family doesn't need to say more, just talk about the Sima family in Hanoi.

Sima was the official position of the Zhou Dynasty and the generalissimo in charge of the country's soldiers and horses. Therefore, the Sima family is a family with official positions as the surname.

In ancient times, there were people who were in charge of Li, for the officials in charge of heaven and earth, Tang Yao had raised Chongli, with the King of Xuan, after Chongli Cheng Boxiu, the official to Sima, in charge of the national army, auxiliary government and auxiliary country, great power, Cheng Boxiu's father Keping Xu Fang, made great contributions, the Zhou royal family allowed him to take the official position as the surname, and then became Sima's family.

Jiuqu Yellow River, stretching for thousands of miles, because of the long river and the name of the place is countless, the well-known ones are Hetao, Hexi, Hedong, Henan, Hebei......

Hanoi, the county of Hanoi in the Han Dynasty, is also the foundation of the Sima family.

According to Sima Yi himself, their Sima clan county is in Hanoi County, and its origin is Sima Mao, a Zhao general in the anti-Qin war at the end of Qin.

In the anti-Qin war, Zhao general Sima Mao pacified the old land of Yin Shang, quite a military exploit, Xiang Yu named him the king of Yin, Wang Hanoi, all of the songs. The Hanoi here is not the Hanoi of Vietnam, but Jiaozuo, Henan today.

In the second year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bangbing went out of Guanzhong, fought with Xiang Yu in the east, crossed the Yellow River from Linjin, captured Hanoi, captured Sima Mao, King Yin, and placed Hanoi County. The size of Hanoi's territory remained stable during the Qin and Han dynasties, and remained largely unchanged.

In terms of geographical location, Hanoi is in the middle of the world, leaning on the Yellow River in the south, the Taihang Mountains in the north, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with convenient transportation and a very important strategic position. Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was based on Hanoi as the fundamental place, and then competed for the world and completed the Zhongxing of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Politically and culturally, Hanoi is the homeland of the Yin people and has been one of the centers of Central Plains culture since the pre-Qin period.

Hanoi County is the hometown of Yin Shang, the folk customs are fierce, and the people are still chivalrous, according to the records of the "Historical Records and Biography of the Goods and Colonies", the folk customs here are "let the chivalrous be traitors, not agricultural merchants".

During the Han and Han dynasties, Chinese culture underwent a process of change from martial arts to literature, and Hanoi County was no exception. The Sima clan recognized Zhao as the ancestor.

In the ancestors of the Sima family, the more reliable figure was Sima Yi's ancestor Sima Jun.

Sima Jun is the eighth grandson of Sima Wei, and the official is the general of Zhengxi; His son Sima Liang, the official to Yuzhang Taishou; His grandson Sima Jun, the official to Yingchuan Taishou; great-grandson Sima Fang, successively served as Luoyang Ling and Jing Zhaoyin; Sima Fang has eight sons, the second son is Sima Yi, and the eight sons are all celebrities, because each person has a word 'Da', so the time name is 'Bada'.

Sima Jun's deeds are scattered throughout the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, in summary, Sima Jun in the first year of Yongchu as a Zhonglang, with the general Deng Qiu to attack Xiqiang, and then Sima Jun's career seems to be quite smooth. In the second year of the early Yuan Dynasty, when Sima Jun appeared again in the historical books, he had already supervised the army to attack Xianlingqiang as the general of Zuo Fengling's expedition to the west.

But in this battle, Sima Jun committed suicide in prison due to battlefield malfeasance.

The Qiang Rebellion in the Northwest was a major disaster in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and from the deeds of Sima Jun that he saw, his main activities were related to the pacification of the Qiang Rebellion, with a strong military color, and no signs of contamination with Confucianism were found.

In addition, its legendary ancestor is the Zhao general Sima Mao, and it may be inferred that the Sima family was more of a military family in the early stage, and Confucianism was not its strength.

However, by the time Sima Jun's grandson, Sima Jun, came to pass, the Sima family in Hanoi had already begun to be influenced by the Confucian tradition.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Sima Lang" records: "Lang's grandfather is good, the characters are different, erudite and ancient, and dignified and generous. ”

From the erudition and good antiquity, it can be seen that Sima Jun has become a learned Confucian scholar, and he is dignified and generous, which shows that the heroic background of his family is good.

The Sima family is very powerful in Hanoi County, so the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" also said that "the township party clan is attached to Xianjing".

However, it is worth noting that although the Sima family "entered the literature from martial arts", its family style is still quite different from the traditional scripture families of the Han and Han dynasties, and the learning is not a narrow sense of scripture.

Han Confucianism emphasizes the teaching of the law, attaches importance to the study of chapters and sentences, and focuses on the one scripture, which has been passed down from generation to generation, forming many families of scriptures who keep one scripture for the first time.

It can also be regarded as a transformation of the Sima family.

Of course, changes are not something that can change overnight, and even if they begin to change, the Sima family still has the color of a local wealthy family.

The Qing Confucianists can defend themselves and are not enough to gather the people, while the Sima clan is attached to the township party clan, and those who can be convinced by the hearts of the people often need to be strategic and financial, which is the basic characteristic of the local clan.
