Yi is the second son of Sima Fang. "There are few strange festivals, how clever and strategic, erudite and informative, and Confucianism." At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sima Yi was born in troubled times, "often worried about the world"

Yang Jun, the Taishou of Nanyang, is known for knowing people and being good at things, 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 good friends with Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, and once said to Sima Lang: "Your younger brother is smart and sensible, decisive, and heroic, which is not comparable to you." ("Brother Jun is bright and bright, just broken off the inter, not out of the reach of the son")

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Pei notes that Sima Yi had a good relationship with the famous hermit Hu Zhao when he was a teenager. Hu Zhao was murdered because of a grudge with Zhou Sheng and others in the same county, and immediately went into danger to find Zhou Sheng and his party between the mountains and ponds, and begged them to let Sima Yi go, but Zhou Sheng's sincerity in crying finally moved him and saved Sima Yi [3].

Sima Zhongda[4]

In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), the county elected him as the top planner. 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 national fortunes of the Han Dynasty were in decline, and he didn't want to be under Cao Cao, so he used the excuse that he had wind paralysis and couldn't live physically. Cao Cao didn't believe it, so he sent someone to the assassin at night to find out the news, and Sima Yi lay there, motionless, as if he was really infected with wind paralysis. "Wei Luo" recorded that Sima Yi was studious, Cao Hong thought that 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, who recruited Sima Yi, and Sima Yi immediately threw his crutches to see Cao Cao to serve him[5].

Inauguration of official positions

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), after Cao Cao became the 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." Sima Yi was afraid of it 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.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, and Sima Yi accompanied the army. He said to Cao Cao: "Liu Bei used a trick to capture Liu Zhang, and the Shu people did not belong to it 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 the right of Long, and they want to get Shu." Not from this [6].

Eagle eyes wolf

Cao Cao gradually noticed that Sima Yi "had heroic ambitions", and found that he had a "wolf appearance", and he was very taboo in his heart. [Emperor Wei Wucha (Sima Yi) has heroic ambitions, and he hears that there are wolves. I want to prove it. It is a call to go forward, to turn back, to face backward and not move. I also tasted the dream of three horses eating the same trough, which was very evil. ]。 Therefore, he said to the crown prince Cao Pi, Sima Yi is not a person who is willing to be a subordinate, and he will definitely interfere in your family's affairs.

Wolf Gu

However, because Cao Pi had a good relationship with Sima Yi and always protected him, he was able to do nothing ("the prince Su and the emperor are good, and they are all blessed, so they are exempt"), so Sima Yi was diligent in his duties and forgot to sleep and eat, so Cao Cao was at ease [7].

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Sun Quan declared himself a vassal to Cao Cao and encouraged Cao Cao to establish himself as emperor. Cao Cao said, "You want to put me on the charcoal stove for barbecue!" ”[8]。 Cao Cao replied: "If the mandate of heaven is in me, I am the king of Zhou Wen", which means that even if the time has come to replace the Han dynasty, he will follow the example of King Wen of Zhou and let his son become emperor. [At that time, there were still many people under Cao Cao's gate lords and bureaucrats who supported the Han Dynasty, which was jealous of Cao Cao, and Xun Yu, Cui Yan, and other famous ministers were also unable to die well because of objections to Cao's dynasty. Sima Yi may have long expressed support for Cao Cao on this critical issue, and gradually accepted and reused. ]

Clever and resourceful

In 217, Cao Pi was named the crown prince of Wei, and in 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. Sima Yi and Chen Qun, Wu Zhen, and Zhu Shuo are known as the 'Four Friends'.

Since then, Sima Yi has often planned state affairs and made many strange strategies. Soon, Sima Yi became the prime minister's army Sima. He pointed out that Hu Xiu, the assassin of Jingzhou, was rude, and Nanxiang was too guarded by Fu Fang and arrogant, so they should not be stationed at the border, and Cao Cao did not pay attention to it. In June of the same year, after Liu Bei succeeded to Hanzhong, he sent Meng Da and Liu Feng to capture Fangling, Shangyong and other places in the eastern part of Hanzhong County, and his power expanded. In July, Sun Quan wanted to attack Hefei, and most of the Wei army mobilized Huainan to defend the Wu army. Guan Yu, who was guarding Jingzhou, took this opportunity to lead the main force to attack Jingxiang in the north. Siege Wei general Cao Ren, flooded the Forbidden Seventh Army, and beheaded Pang De. Hu and Fu really took the opportunity to descend to Shu.

For a time, Guan Yu's momentum was "mighty in China", because Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in Xu County, very close to Fancheng, Cao Cao felt threatened, and in order to avoid Guan Yu's edge, he was once ready to move the capital to Hebei. Sima Yi and Cao Rafter Jiang Ji promptly dissuaded: "Yu Ban was drowned by the water army, it is not a mistake in battle and defense, and there is no big loss to the overall situation of the country. Liu Bei and Sun Quan are close to each other, and now that Guan Yu is sitting big, Sun Quan must be even more unhappy, and tell Sun Quan about this, so that he can contain Guan Yu, and the siege of Fancheng will be relieved. Cao Cao complied with his plan, and Sun Quan really sent Lü Meng to attack Jiangling, and Guan Yu was captured and killed by him[9].

Sima Yi's Calligraphy[10]

This battle took advantage of the contradiction between Sun and Liu to fight for Jingzhou, made full use of diplomatic strategy, and reaped the benefits, which not only thwarted Guan Yu's powerful offensive and lifted the siege of Fancheng, but also made Zhuge Liang's original plan to attack the Central Plains all the way to Wanluo and all the way out of Qinchuan could not be realized. More importantly, it undermined the alliance between Sun and Liu, changed the strategic pattern at that time, and seized the initiative.

Later, Cao Cao thought that the remnants of Jingzhou and the soldiers and civilians in Yingchuan Tuntian were approaching the southern bandits and wanted to take them away. Sima Yi believes: "Jing Chu is easy to take off, easy to move and difficult to be safe. Guan Yu is newly broken, and all the evildoers are hiding and watching. Those who are good now will hurt their will, and those who are gone will not dare to return." Cao Cao listened to his advice and did not emigrate. [11] The previous Tibetan fugitives were indeed returned to naturalization[11].

In the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Cao died, the government and the opposition were afraid, and Sima Yi managed the funeral affairs, both inside and outside.

In the same year, Cao Pi was the throne of Wei, and Sima Yi was awarded the title of Marquis of Hejin Pavilion and became prime minister for a long time. At that time, Sun Quan was leading his army westward. The courtiers thought that Fancheng and Xiangyang lacked food and could not resist the Wu army, so they called the guard general Cao Ren back to Wancheng. Sima Yi said: "Sun Quan has just defeated Guan Yu, and it is when he wants to make a good relationship with Wei State, he must not dare to do it. Xiangyang is an important place for water and land transportation, and it cannot be abandoned." Cao Pi did not listen to his advice and ordered Cao Ren to set fire to the second city. Later, Sun Quan really did not come to invade. Cao Pi regretted it too late. [12]

Auxiliary government quells chaos

In the same year, Cao Pi ascended the throne of the emperor and was known as Emperor Wen of Wei in history. After ascending the throne, Sima Yi was appointed as Shangshu, and soon transferred to the overseer, Yushi Zhongcheng, and was named the Marquis of Anguo.

In the second year of the early Huang dynasty (221), he was removed from the post of overseer and promoted to the position of servant and the right servant of Shangshu.

In the third year of the early Huang dynasty (222), and in the fifth year of the early Huang dynasty (224), Cao Pi attacked Wu twice, both of which were guarded by Sima Yi and renamed Sima Yi as the marquis of Xiangxiang. In the spring and February of the sixth year of the Huang Dynasty (225), he was transferred to the general of the Fujun Army and the False Festival, leading 5,000 troops. Sima Yi resigned, and Cao Pi said: "I am in the affairs of the people, night after day, and there is no need to rest for a moment." This is not pride, but sorrow. ”

Sima Yi[13]

In the same year, Cao Pi raised a large army to attack Wu, but still ordered Sima Yi to stay behind, "the people in the inner town, and the military resources outside". Before leaving, he sent an edict to Sima Yi and said: "I am deeply concerned about the future, so I will be the secretary." Although Cao Shen has military exploits, Xiao He is important. So that I don't have to worry about the West, no! ”。 Later, Cao Pi returned to Luoyang from Guangling, and issued an edict to Sima Yi: "Wudong, Fujun should be the chief of the west; Wuxi, Fu Jun is the general affairs of the east. So Sima Yi stayed in Xuchang.

In May of the seventh year of the Huang dynasty (226), Cao Pi died at the age of forty. When he was dying, he made Sima Yi and Cao Zhen, the general of the Chinese army, Chen Qun, the general of the Zhenjun, and Cao Xiu, the general of the Eastern Expedition, as auxiliary ministers. Cao Pi said to the prince: "There are three princes here, be careful not to doubt them. Emperor Ming ascended the throne and changed the title of Sima Yi to Marquis of Wuyang.

When Sun Quan learned of the death of Emperor Wen of Wei, he sent troops to attack Wei in August. He ordered Wu Zuo's general Zhuge Jin's troops to attack Xiangyang in two ways, and personally led the army to attack Jiangxia County. Sun Quan was defeated by the Wei army all the way, so he withdrew his troops and left. Zhuge Jin, on the other hand, was defeated by Sima Yi and beheaded the Wu general Zhang Ba, beheading more than a thousand levels ("Three Kingdoms. Emperor Ming Ji). In December, he was promoted to hussar general.

Capture Mengda

Soldiers are fast

In June of the first year of Taihe (227), Emperor Ming ordered Sima Yi to be stationed in Wancheng and supervise the military forces of Jing and Henan.

When Shu surrendered Meng Da to Wei, the Wei Dynasty treated him very kindly, and Sima Yi thought that he was clever in his words and deeds and could not be trusted. But the emperor didn't listen, and appointed Meng Da to lead the new city to be too guarded, a marquis, and a fake festival. After Cao Pi's death, Meng Da fell out of favor, and Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, secretly corresponded with him and plotted to betray Wei. Zhuge Liang was afraid that his words and deeds would be capricious, and wanted to urge him to rebel quickly, knowing that Wei Xing was too protective of Shen Yi and had a conflict with him, so he sent Guo Mo to Shen Yi to deceive him, intending to reveal his affairs. When Meng Da heard of this, he prepared to raise troops immediately.

After Shen Yi told Sima Yi about this matter, Sima Yi was afraid that he would suddenly make trouble, so he sent him a letter of consolation, which said: "The general abandoned Liu Bei in the past and entrusted himself to the country. The Shu people are stupid and wise, and they can't help but gnash their teeth at the general. Zhuge Liang wants to break each other, but there is no way to suffer. What the model says, it is not a trivial matter, and it is easy to know how to reveal it. ”

Meng Da was overjoyed and hesitated. Sima Yi secretly led the army to discuss, and the generals saw the handover between Meng Da and Wu Shu, and persuaded Sima Yi to watch first and then move. Sima Yi said: "If there is no faith, when they are in doubt, they should be undecided. ”。 Sima Yi personally led the army to attack Mengda day and night, and arrived at the city of Xincheng in eight days. Wu and Shu sent reinforcements to rescue Meng Da, but they were stopped by Sima Yi's troops in Anqiao, Mulansai and other places in Xicheng.

Sima Yi in Three Kingdoms 11

Previously, Zhuge Liang had warned Meng Da to step up precautions, and Meng Da wrote to Zhuge Liang that "Wancheng and Luoyang are eight hundred miles apart, one thousand two hundred miles away from me, and the table is given to the Son of Heaven, and the round trip takes less than a month, and at that time my city has been repaired, and all the armies are ready." The terrain where I am stationed is very dangerous, and Sima Gong will not come in person, and the other troops will not be troubled in the future." And Sima Yi cut first and then played, only eight days before the army came to the city, Meng Da wrote to Zhuge Liang again, exclaiming: "I raised things, and the troops arrived under the city on the eighth day, how fast!" ”。

Shangyong City is surrounded by water on three sides, and Meng Da set up a wooden fence outside the city to strengthen the city defense. Sima Yi waved his army across the water, destroyed its wooden fence, and approached the city. In the first month of the second year of Taihe (228), Sima Yi's soldiers attacked the city in eight ways, and only 16 days later, Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian and his general Li Fu surrendered. The Wei army entered the city, captured Meng Da, passed the first Beijing division, and captured more than 10,000 people.

Build and defend Wancheng

Sima Yi returned to the army and was still stationed in Wancheng, rewarding and persuading farmers and prohibiting waste. The people of the south are happy and convinced.

At the beginning of the previous year, Shen Yijiu was in Weixing County, authorizing power, and engraved a seal in the name of the emperor without authorization, and granted it privately. After Meng Da was killed, Shen Yi had doubts. At that time, the county guards saw that Sima Yi had defeated the enemy, and they all congratulated him. Sima Yi let it go, and let people hint to Shen Yi. Shen Yi had no choice but to come to congratulate. Sima Yi took the opportunity to arrest him and send him to Beijing. Sima Yi also moved more than 7,000 families of Meng Da Yu to Youzhou. Soon, Shu generals Yao Jing and Zheng He led more than 7,000 of their subordinates to surrender.

At that time, the border county was newly attached, and the household registration was false. The imperial court wanted to verify it, so it asked Sima Yi to go to Beijing and ask for his opinion. Sima Yi believed: "The thief was bound by a dense net, so he abandoned it." If you use the outline, you will be naturally happy."

Emperor Ming and Wu Shu should be crusaded, where should they start first? Sima Yi replied: "Wu Yi China is not accustomed to water warfare, so he dares to scatter in Dongguan. Whoever attacks the enemy will strangle his throat and slash his heart. Xiakou, Dongguan, the heart of a thief. If the army is to Anhui City, lead the power to the east, and the water war army to Xiakou, take advantage of its weakness and attack it, this divine soldier will fall from the sky, and it will be broken. Emperor Ming agreed with him and ordered him to return to Wancheng to prepare for war. In August, the great Sima Cao Xiu did not follow the plan, and went down to Anhui City to go deep into the enemy territory to meet the Wu general Zhou Yi, who had surrendered by fraud, and was ambushed by Lu Xun at Shiting, and was defeated, and Cao Xiu died of illness [14].

Anti-Shu Northern Expedition

In the third year of Taihe (229), Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, sent troops to attack Wei for the third time, and occupied the two counties of Wudu and Yinping. In the fourth year of Taihe (230), Emperor Ming of Wei decided to attack Shu. Promoted Sima Yi to be the general, increased the governor, fake Huang Yue, and cut down Shu with the great Sima Cao Zhen.

In August, Emperor Wei Ming ordered Cao Zhen to lead the main force from Chang'an into the Meridian Valley, the left general Zhang He out of the Slope Valley, Sima Yi from Jingzhou back to the Han River out of the West City, and the generals divided into three ways to attack Hanzhong. Sima Yi opened up the road from Xicheng, advanced by land and water, went up the river along the water, went straight to Quji, conquered Xinfeng County, garrisoned Dankou, and then encountered the rain class.

Qishan was relieved

In the fifth year of Taihe (231), in February, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, led the fourth army to attack Wei, surrounded Qishan Jia Si and Wei Pingbu, and transported grain and grass with wooden oxen and flowing horses. Emperor Ming said to Sima Yi: "There is something in the West, and there is no one who can pay for it if you are not a king" ("Jin Shu Xuan Di Ji"), and sent him to the west to garrison Chang'an, and the governor of the left general Zhang He and Yongzhou Assassin Guo Huai to defend the Shu army. Sima Yi left his troops Fei Yao and Dai Ling to lead 4,000 people to defend Qishan, and led the main force west to rescue Qishan. Zhang He persuaded Sima Yi to divide his troops to be stationed in Yong and Yi to be the rear town of the army, but Sima Yi disagreed, he said: "It is expected that the former army can only be the only one who deserves it, and the general is right." If it can't be, but is divided into front and back, the three armies of Chu are therefore black cloth birds. So he advanced to Yu Elk and fought against Zhuge Liang.

So far, there are two completely different records of future operations in the history books.

"Book of Jin: Emperor Xuan": The news that the army is coming, it is the wheat of the self-commanding generals. All the generals were afraid, and the emperor said: "I am tired, and this soldier is greedy." Liang didn't dare to take Weishui, this is easy to hear. "Entering Hanyang, meeting with the debut, the emperor lined up and waited for it. So that the cattle and gold rode lightly, and the soldiers retreated one after another, chasing to Qishan. Liangtun Lucheng, according to the north and south mountains, cut off the water for the siege. The emperor attacked and pulled out the siege, and escaped at night. Pursue, break, and capture thousands of tricks.

All kinds of Sima Yi pictures (18 photos) "Zizhi Tongjian": Guo Huai, Fei Yao, etc. are bright, bright and broken, because of the big wheat mowling, and Yi met in the east of Shangqi. The army is in danger, and the soldiers are not allowed to be handed over, and they are returned. Empress Yi waited for the light to find the city. Zhang He said: "He came against me from afar, please don't fight, saying that I don't want to fight, and I want to plan for the long term." And Qishan knows that the army is approaching, and the people's feelings are self-consolidated, so they can stop here, divide into strange soldiers, and show that they are behind, and they should not go forward and dare not force, and they will lose the popularity of the people. Today, the lonely army has little food, and it is also possible to go. "Yi doesn't follow, so he looks for the brightness. Even when he arrived, he climbed the mountain and dug the camp, refusing to fight. Jia Xu and Wei Ping asked for battle, because they said: "The public is afraid of Shu like a tiger, and the world laughs at him!" "Yi is sick. The generals are invited to fight. Summer, May, Xin has been, Yi Nai made Zhang He attack He Ping in Nanwei, and he was bright in the middle of the case. Liang made Wei Yan, Gao Xiang, and Wu Ban fight against each other, the Wei soldiers were defeated, and the Han people were given 3,000 armor, and Yi returned to the camp. In June, Liang retired from the army with all his food

Both books record that Zhuge Liang led his troops to seize the grain and grass, and the Book of Jin recorded that the Wei army unloaded its armor and traveled day and night, and met Zhuge Liang in Hanyang, Sima Yi sent the general Niu Jin to ride lightly as bait, Zhuge Liang retreated to Qishan, and stationed troops in Lucheng, according to the two mountains in the north and south, blocking the water and building a wall. The Wei army broke through, broke the Shu army, captured and beheaded tens of thousands.

The latter recorded that Sima Yi began to march along the dangerous road, so that the two armies could not fight, and Zhuge Liang had to lead his troops back; Sima Yi looked for Zhuge Liang's troops to arrive at Lucheng, Zhang He suggested going to war, sent strange soldiers around the back of the Shu army, cut off its back road, Sima Yi did not listen, continued to look for the main force of the Shu army, and after finding it, he camped in the mountains and did not fight, Jia Xu, Wei Ping generals all asked to go to war, and so on in May, Sima Yi sent Zhang He to do other things, and sent troops to attack Zhuge Liang, the Shu army won the battle, and won the first three thousand. And Guo Huai and Fei Yao were also seized of some grain and grass before.

[This record is taken from the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Han Jin" cited by Pei Note, which clearly takes the anti-Cao Wei and the admiration of the Shu Han as orthodox [15], and Pei Note in the "Three Kingdoms. The Biography of Zhuge Liang also cites false records such as the 'Three Incidents of Guo Chong', such as the empty city plan [16]; "Book of Jin" is the official repair presided over by Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, looking at its postscript, it has the meaning of warning future generations, and it is impossible to beautify Sima Yi]

In the biography of Zhuge Liang, Guo Huai and others in Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", about the Battle of Qishan in 231, there is no mention that Zhuge Liang once defeated Guo Huai and successfully grabbed grain.

["Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, Zhuge Liang Biography": In the spring of the ninth year of Jianxing (231), Liang returned to Qishan, transported it with wooden oxen, and retired from the army after running out of grain [17]. Engage the Wei general Zhang Tai and shoot Tai]

["Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Luo, Guo Huai Biography": In five years, Shu came out of Lucheng. At that time, there was no valley in Longyou, and the discussion wanted to close the middle of the Universiade, Huai used Weien to caress Xunqiang and Hu, and the family made the valley; Pingqi lost the transfer, the army was full, and the general Yang Wu [18]. 】

And "Three Kingdoms. The Biography of Zhang He [19] mentions Zhuge Liang's retreat to Qishan and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang He in "The Biography of Zhuge Liang" was shot and died.

Several historical books describe the overall trend of the war in the same way, Sima Yi kept the grain in Longxi and relieved the siege of Qishan, and finally the two armies were in a stalemate, and the Shu army ran out of grain and grass and retreated.

In the first year of Qinglong (233), Hu Bojuzi, the Xiongnu lord of the Huns who was stabilized and rebellious, Sima Yi sent Hu Zun and others to pursue and surrender ("Three Kingdoms. Emperor Ming)

Gojogahara

After the Shu army retreated, the military division Du Xi and the overseer Xue Yi both expected Zhuge Liang to invade when the wheat was ripe in the second year, and suggested that he should take advantage of the winter to transfer grain and grass to solve the problem of lack of grain in Longyou. Sima Yi believed: "Liang went out of Qishan again, attacked Chen Cang, and frustrated and reversed. Even if he goes out later, he will not attack the city again, and when he seeks a field battle, he will be in Longdong, not in the west. Liang every time he hates the lack of food, he will accumulate grain, and he will not be able to move if he is not three. (Book of Jin and Emperor Xuan)

In February of the second year of Qinglong (234), Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, led an army of 100,000 troops out of the valley to attack Wei.

In April, Zhuge Liang went to Yixian County and stationed in the south of Weishui. The Wei general Sima Yi led his army to cross the Weishui River and built a fortress against the water. The generals wanted to hold Zhuge Liang across the water in Weibei, Sima Yi said: "The people are all gathered in Weinan, and this must be a place to fight." Then he crossed the Weibei water and camped. After analyzing the situation, Sima Yi said to the generals: "If you are brave, you should go to the east of the mountain with martial arts, and if you go west to Wuzhang Plain, then the army will have nothing to do."

At that time, Sima Yi was stationed in Weinan. Guo Huai estimated that Zhuge Liang would definitely fight for the Northern Plains, advocating the occupation first, he said: "If Liang crosses the Weidengyuan, even the troops in the North Mountain, isolates the Longdao, shakes the people, and razes, this is not the benefit of the country." Many people disagreed, but Sima Yi agreed very much and asked Guo Huai to join the Northern Plains. The trenches had not yet been repaired, the Shu army pressed the border, and the Wei army fought back. Soon, Zhuge Liang led a large army to the west, and all the generals thought that Zhuge Liang wanted to attack the western siege. Guo Huai believed that Zhuge Liang's bluff was to make the Wei army respond aggressively, and his goal was Yangsui. At night, the Shu army really attacked Yangsui, but Zhuge Liang failed to succeed because the city had already been prepared. Guo Huai Biography) [20].

The record of the Book of Jin is roughly the same: "Sima Yi sent Hu Zun and Guo Huai to prepare Yang Sui, and Liang met in Jishi, fought in the plain, Liang could not enter, and returned to Wuzhang Plain." After sending strange soldiers to shine brightly, more than 500 levels were killed, more than 1,000 people were born, and more than 600 people were surrendered."

In May, 100,000 Wu troops attacked Wei and cooperated with the Shu army to fight, but were rejected by Manchu. In July, Emperor Wei Ming led his troops to recruit in person, and the Wu army withdrew. The ministers thought that Sima Yizheng was still confronting Zhuge Liang's heavy troops in the west, and the car could drive to Chang'an, and Emperor Wei Ming said: "The right to go, the courage to break, the general to control it, I don't have to worry about it." [21] Zhuge Liang's eastward march was blocked by Sima Yi, and his advance from Weishui was blocked by Guo Huai, so he moved his army to capture Sanguan, Longcheng and other places, and returned to attack Sima Yi.

In August, Sima Yi held on to Zhuge Liang for more than 100 days with the instruction of "refusing to defend the wall and waiting for work at ease". Zhuge Liang challenged several times, but Sima Yi did not come out of the wall to wait for changes. Zhuge Liang sent someone to Sima Yi to send the "Ornament of a Woman", wanting to provoke Sima Yi to fight, but Sima Yi still did not fight. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, he deliberately pretended to be angry and asked for war. Emperor Ming did not allow it, and sent the minister of the bone fish, Xin Bi Staff, to be Sima Yi's military advisor to control his actions. As soon as Zhuge Liang came to challenge, Sima Yi was going to lead the troops to attack, and the Xinbi Staff Festival stood at the military gate, and Sima Yi did not send troops. Shu general Jiang Wei said to Zhuge Liang: "The Xinbi Staff Festival is coming, and the thief will not come back." Zhuge Liang said: "He has no war situation, so he insists on inviting the fighters to show his strength." In the army, the king's order is not subject to it, and if you can control me, how can you fight evil for thousands of miles! ("Three Kingdoms: Zhuge Liang's Biography" note "Han Jin Spring and Autumn Period") Zhuge Liang then divided his troops into Tuntian to prepare for a long-term cantonment.

Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang

Sima Yi's younger brother Sima Fu also wrote to ask about the military situation on the front line, and Sima Yi replied: "Liang Zhi is big but does not see the opportunity, more scheming and less decisive, good soldiers but no power, although he has raised 100,000 soldiers, he has fallen into my painting, and he will be broken." ”

Soon, Zhuge Liang sent an envoy to ask for war, Sima Yi did not talk about military affairs, and asked the envoy: "How does Zhuge Gong live, how many meters can he eat?" The messenger said, "Three or four liters." Then he said to the messenger about political affairs: "The twenty punishments have been examined." After some casual questioning, Sima Yi said to the person: "Liang is going to die." Sure enough, Zhuge Liang died of illness in the Wuzhang Yuan Army that month.

The Shu generals did not mourn secretly, and the whole army retreated. The local people came to report that Sima Yi sent troops to pursue, and the Shu general Yang Yi returned to the flag and sounded the drums, making a counterattack, and Sima Yi retreated with the "poor Kou Mo chasing". At that time, someone said: "Death Zhuge goes to life Zhongda", Sima Yi heard it and laughed and said: "I am expected to live, and it is inconvenient to expect death." The next day, Sima Yi inspected Zhuge Liang's camp and praised Zhuge Liang as "a genius in the world" ("Book of Jin, Emperor Xuan")

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, which lasted for seven years, came to an end. Zhuge Liang ignored the strategic mistake and attacked Wei in the Central Plains with a state of land, even if he tried his best to achieve his strategic goals due to the disparity in strength. Under the correct command of Sima Yi, Cao Zhen and others, the Wei State adopted a defensive strategy with superior forces to force the Shu army to retreat, and won the most decisive victory.

Shu generals Yang Yi and Wei Yan fought for power after the withdrawal of the army, and Yang Yi killed Wei Yan. Sima Yi wanted to take the opportunity to attack Shu, but Emperor Ming did not approve it and gave up.

In the third year of Qinglong (235), Sima Yi was promoted to Taiwei and increased the number of feuds. The Shu general Ma Dai invaded the country, and Sima Yi sent Niu Jin to meet the attack and beheaded more than 1,000 Shu troops. Fu Shuanghe, the king of Wudu, and Qiang Duan led more than 6,000 of his subordinates to surrender[22].

Pacify Liaodong

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the warlords were fighting, Gongsun Du owned Liaodong. This separatist power has always rebelled against Cao Wei and maintained a semi-independent status. After Gongsun Yuan succeeded as the Taishou of Liaodong, he was even more inferior to Wei. Cao Rong was furious and sent Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wuqiu Jian to serve as Youzhou Assassin Shi, when the Liao water rose sharply, Wuqiu Jian was unfavorable and returned. Wuqiu's review was blocked, which made Gongsun Yuan even more proud. In the first year of the early Jing Dynasty (237), Sun Yuan, the former Taishou Gong of Wei Liaodong, betrayed Wei and established himself as the king of Yan, placed hundreds of officials, and set the capital Xiangping. [23] Yuan sent Sun Quan to Nantong to worship the border people, lure Xianbei, and invade the north. [24]

So, in the first month of the second year of Jingchu (238), Emperor Wei Ming recalled Sima Yi and ordered him to lead his troops to fight. Emperor Ming asked him what countermeasures he estimated Gongsun Yuan had, and Sima Yi said: "Abandon the city and leave in advance, and plan accordingly." According to Liaoshui, the distance from the army, the second count. Sitting in Xiangping, this is an ear catch. Emperor Ming asked again: "Which one will Gongsun Yuan use?" Sima Yi replied: "Only smart people can correctly assess each other's strength." Abandoning the city in advance is not something that Gongsun Yuan can do. He will definitely think that our lone expedition cannot last, and that it is the middle and the next plan to resist first in Liaoshui and then retreat to Xiangping." Emperor Ming asked, "How long will it be?" Sima Yi said: "Go to 100 days, return 100 days, attack 100 days, and take 60 days as a rest, one year is enough." ”

At that time, the imperial court overhauled the palace room, plus military supplies, and the people were hungry. Before Sima Yi set out on the expedition, he persuaded Emperor Ming that from the north of the river, the people were poor, and there were internal services outside and inside, and the situation was not prosperous.

Painting Sima Yi Attacking Gongsun Yuan[25]

Before leaving, relatives and friends sent each other, Sima Yi sang with emotion: "Heaven and earth open up, the sun and the moon are renewed. Encounters will be encountered, and Bi Li will be able to go away. will sweep away the filth and return to the hometown. Clear thousands of miles, total eight wilderness. Tell the old man and wait for the sin to dance the sun." [26]

In the first month, Sima Yi led Niu Jin, Hu Zun and other 40,000 horsemen, starting from Beijing, passing through Guzhu, Yuejieshi, and in June, entering Liaoshui. Gongsun Yuan really urgently ordered the generals Bei Yan, Yang Zuo and others to lead tens of thousands of cavalry, encircling more than 20 miles according to the Liaoshui trench, fortifying the walls and high bases, and blocking the Wei army.

Sima Yi adopted the strategy of attacking the west from the east, first spreading a number of flags on the southern front, feinting to encircle the trenches, attracting the enemy's main force, and using the main force to cross the Liaoshui in concealment and force into the enemy's Xiangping base camp. Sima Yi said: "The enemy's strong camp is to exhaust our soldiers, and if we attack the city, it will be in their plan." The ancients said that although the enemy is strong, those who have to fight with us will be saved if they attack it. Now their army is here, but the nest is empty. I pointed directly at Xiangping, the enemy army will be afraid, afraid and seek to fight, and it will be broken." Then the array was reorganized and advanced, and the enemy came out to intercept it. Sima Yi said to the generals: "The reason why I did not attack his camp was precisely because I had to wait for the current situation." So he commanded the Wei army to attack hard, won all three battles, and then took advantage of the victory to enter the siege of Xiangping.

When Gongsun Yuan heard that the Wei army was attacking, he asked Sun Quan for help, and Sun Quan also sent troops to support him, and wrote a letter to Gongsun Yuan: "Sima Yi is good at using his troops to move forward, and he is deeply worried about his brother. ”[27]

coincided with the heavy rain, the Liao water swelled, the flat ground was several feet, the Wei army was afraid, and the generals wanted to move the camp. Sima Yi ordered those who dared to move the camp to be beheaded, and the governor ordered Shi Zhangjing to be beheaded in violation of the order, and the army's heart was at ease. Gongsun Yuanjun rode the rain out of the city, collected firewood and herded horses, and was safe. The Wei generals asked for an attack, but Sima Yi refused to allow it. Sima Chen Gui asked Sima Yi: "Back then, when we attacked Shangyong, we advanced in eight ways, day and night, so we were able to capture Jiancheng and kill Meng Da in ten and a half years." This time he came from afar, but he acted more slowly? ”

Sima Yi said: "At that time, Mengda's army was small and the food could support a year, but our soldiers were four times that of Mengda's food but less than a month's food. Four to one, even if half of the people were killed or wounded, it was feasible, and at that time, regardless of the dead and wounded, it was precisely to buy time for the limited food and grass. Now that there are many enemy soldiers, our army is small, the enemy has less food, we have more food, and in the event of heavy rain, it is impossible to fight quickly. From the moment I sent out the troops, I was not afraid that the enemy would attack, but that they would flee. Now that the enemy's food and grass are running out, and our army's encirclement has not yet been closed, if they plunder cattle and horses now, they will be forced to flee. The soldier is treacherous, and the good is changed by events. Now, with great numbers and great waters, they will not be taken away even though they are hungry. At this time, it is all the more important to stabilize the opponent and not scare the enemy away for the sake of small profits."

Sima Yi will do what he plans and deliberately show weakness. The imperial court heard that the rain was a strong enemy, and many people asked for Sima Yi to be recalled. Emperor Ming said: "Sima Yi is in danger to make changes, and he can count the days to capture the abyss."

Sima Yi hides the soldiers' cave

After a month, the rain stopped and the water gradually receded. The Wei army completed the encirclement of Xiangping and attacked day and night. The food in the city was exhausted, and there were many dead, so he surrendered Yang Zuo and others. Occasionally, a meteor crossed from the southwest to the northeast of the city and fell near Liangshui, and the city became more and more frightened. Gongsun Yuan was also very frightened, and in August, he sent Wang Jian and Liu Fu, the imperial historian, to ask for relief from the siege. Sima Yi beheaded the envoy and issued a document to severely reprimand: "Zheng Lieguo in Xichu, and Zheng Bo is like a sheep and welcomes him." Lonely is the king, the position is the prince, and the construction and others want to be lonely to break the siege and retreat, how can Chu Zheng be evil! The two of them are old, and it will be rumored that they have lost their will, and they have been cut off. If you want to do so, you can send those who are young and have a clear decision."

Gongsun Yuan also sent the guards to ask for a date to be sent hostages. Sima Yi said to him: "There are five major things to fight: to be able to fight, to be defended if you can't fight, to go if you can't defend, and to go if you can't defend. If Gongsun Yuan refuses to restrain himself and plead guilty, he is determined to seek death, and there is no need to send any hostages. ”

Gongsun Yuan wanted to break through from the south of the city, but Sima Yi's troops broke his army, and Gongsun Yuan died on the edge of Liangshui. After entering the city, Sima Yi slaughtered more than 7,000 men over the age of 15, collected corpses, and built a Beijing Temple. beheaded all the ministers below Gongsun Yuan, and killed more than 2,000 people including the general Bi Sheng. 40,000 households were recruited.

Sima Yi released Gongsun Gong, who was usurped by Gongsun Yuan, and built a tomb for Lunzhi and others who were persecuted by Gongsun Yuan to commend their descendants. The order said: "In ancient times, when a country was conquered, only the stubborn and vicious people in it were killed. All those who have been affected by Gongsun Yuan will be forgiven. If the people of the Central Plains are willing to return to their hometowns, they will do what they want. [28] At that time, some soldiers in Sima Yi's army had cold clothes and asked for short jackets, but Sima Yi refused to give them, saying that "the official goods of the shirts are selfless." So he went to the imperial court and dismissed more than 1,000 soldiers over the age of 60 from military service and sent them back to their hometowns. Within the original one-year period, the victory class division. Emperor Ming sent envoys to Jiji to reward the troops, and increased Sima Yi to eat Kunyang County, a total of two counties before and after.

After decades, the Liaodong issue was finally completely resolved.

Ming Emperor Tuogu

Originally, the imperial court asked Sima Yi to go to Zhenguanzhong. But when he arrived at the White House, there was an edict calling him to return to Beijing quickly, and within three days, the edict was five solstice. Emperor Wei Ming's handwritten book said: "I can see it from the side, and when I arrive, I will go straight into the pavilion and look at my face." It is said that Sima Yi once dreamed that Emperor Ming was pillowing on his lap when he was in Xiangping, and said, "Look at my face." He looked down and saw that Emperor Ming's face was different.

Now when I saw the edict, I was shocked, and I took the chaser to travel day and night, from the white house to the capital, more than 400 miles, and arrived overnight. Next to the royal bed in the Jiafu Palace, his eyes were full of tears, and he asked about the disease. Emperor Ming took his hand, looked at the crown prince King Qi, and said, "I will trust you in the future." Death is bearable, I endure death and wait for you, you have to see each other, and there is nothing to hate", "Three Kingdoms: Emperor Ming" is "I am very ill, and the future will belong to the king, and the young son of Jun Qi and Shuang Fu." I have to see you, and I have nothing to hate")

On the same day, Emperor Ming died. It was the first month of the third year of the beginning of the Jing dynasty (239).

Cao Fang, the king of Qi, was only eight years old, and Sima Yinai and the general Cao Shuang received the edict to assist the young master. King Qi ascended the throne, Sima Yi served as a servant, a festival, a governor of Chinese and foreign armies, a record of Shangshu, and Cao Shuang each commanded 3,000 elite soldiers, and ruled the government together.

Cao Shuang wanted to squeeze out Sima Yi, and wanted Shang Shujuan to pass him in advance, so that he could make a statement to the Son of Heaven and reappoint Sima Yi as the great Sima. The courtiers thought that many of the great Sima had died in office in the past, which was unlucky, so they appointed Sima Yi as the Taifu who had no real power, like Xiao He, who did not enter the palace, praised and worshipped, and went to the palace with a sword.

Retreat from the enemy to conquer Wu

In April of the second year of Zhengshi (241), Emperor Sun Quan of Wu divided his troops into four ways to attack Wei: Wei general Quan Cong led tens of thousands of troops out of Huainan, Weibei general Zhuge Ke attacked Lu'an, former general Zhu Ran attacked Fancheng, and general Zhuge Jin attacked Zuzhong.

In May, Wu General Quan Cong invaded Shaobei, Zhu Ran and Sun Lun besieged Fancheng, Zhuge Jin and Buqi invaded and plundered Qizhong, and Sima Yi invited himself to send troops to beg. The courtiers believed that the enemy soldiers were coming from afar to attack the fortifications, and they should be allowed to break themselves, but Sima Yi said: "The border city is surrounded by the enemy and sits in the temple, the territory is in turmoil, and the people are confused, which is the great worry of the society."

In June, Sima Yi led the army to reinforce, and Sima Yi knew that the south was hot and humid, and the army was not

It is advisable to stay here, first send a light horse to challenge, and Zhu Ran does not dare to move. So, he recuperated and recuperated. Inspect the elite, recruit warriors, issue orders, and put on a siege posture. The Wu army was frightened and retreated overnight. At the mouth of Sanzhou (Jing, Henan, and Yang), the Wei army pursued and reached, and the Wu army was annihilated by more than 10,000 people, and the ships and materials suffered a lot of losses. The Wu army that attacked Lu'an and Zhezhong also returned in vain.

In July, Sima Yi was added to eat Yun and Linying, a total of four counties before and after, 10,000 households in Shiyi, and 11 children were all liehous.

Previously, Wu sent Zhuge Ketun to Wancheng, and the border people felt bitter. Sima Yi wanted to lead his troops to attack it, and the speaker thought that Zhuge Ke occupied a strong city, had a wide range of grain and grain, and attacked alone, and the rescue troops would come. Sima Yi said: "The elder of the thief, Shui Ye, is attacking his city today to see its changes." If you use its strengths and abandon the city to run, this is a temple victory. If you dare to stick to it, the lake is shallow in winter, and the boat cannot go, and it is bound to abandon the water to save each other, and it will be short, and I will also benefit" ("Jin Shu Xuan Di Ji").

In September of the fourth year of Zhengshi (243), Sima Yi led his army to march. When the army arrived in Shucheng, Zhuge Ke really burned and accumulated, abandoned the city and left. Sima Yi also inspected the Tuntian District in Huaibei and promoted Deng Ai, a son of a peasant family, to preside over Tuntian.

Kill Cao Shuang

cause

In the spring of the fifth year (244), the general Cao Shuang wanted to establish a prestige, but he did not listen to the persuasion of Taifu Sima Yi, and advocated the destruction of Shu, and Emperor Wei followed. As a result, Wang Ping, the former supervisor of Shu and the general of Zhenbei, was defeated, the Wei army was hindered in the prosperity, and the rear could not supply military food, cattle, horses, mules and donkeys died in large numbers, and Shufu County and Fei Yi reinforcements also arrived one after another. Seeing that he could not win, Cao Shuang was forced to follow Sima Yi's advice and led his army back in May. Intercepted by the Shu army, the Wei army fought hard, and had to retreat, scattered, and suffered many casualties.

In the autumn and August of the sixth year of Zhengshi (245), Cao Shuang abandoned the middle base and the middle camp, and handed over the two battalions to his younger brother Cao Xi to lead.

In the first month of the spring of the seventh year (246), the Wu soldiers invaded the city, and more than 10,000 families crossed the river in the north to avoid the Wu soldiers. Cao Shuang disagreed, saying: "I can't keep the people in the south today, it's not a long-term strategy." Sima Yi said, "No." Everything that causes peace is peaceful. Dangerous places are at risk. Therefore, the book of soldiers says, 'Success or failure, form; Safety is also in danger'. The situation, the play of the public, cannot be left unjudged. Ordered the thieves to cut off the water with 20,000 people, and 30,000 people to hold on to the armies of the southern part of the country, how can 10,000 people be saved by Lu Liangzhong? Cao Shuang did not obey and drove the order back to the south. Wu soldiers really broke through the city, and tens of thousands of people were lost.

Cao Shuang's behavior not only violated the duty of a minister of Gu Ming, but also caused the decline of Wei's national strength, and many people with lofty ideals were quite uneasy and hoped that Sima Taifu would uphold justice. Sun Li, the assassin of Bingzhou, went to complain to Sima Yi, and Sima Yi comforted him and said: "Stop, I can't bear it" ("Three Kingdoms. Biography of Sun Li).

In the eighth year of the first year (247 years), Cao Shuang used the strategy of his henchmen He Yan, Deng Yang, and Ding Mi to move the Queen Mother to Yongning Palace. In May, Sima Yi pretended to be sick and did not ask about political affairs.

In March of the first year (248), Huangmen Zhang Dang sent eleven people including quartz in the inner court to Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang and He Yan took the opportunity to collude with Zhang Dang to seek danger to Sheji.

Cao Shuang and his comrades were also worried that Sima Yi was faking illness. In the winter of the same year, Yin Lisheng of Henan Province wanted to go to Jingzhou to serve as the assassin and went to visit him.

Sima Yi of Three Kingdoms 12

Sima Yi pretended to be seriously ill and asked the two maids to support him, and wanted to take the clothes, but he couldn't hold them steadily, fell to the ground, and pointed to his mouth to say that he was thirsty. The maid and maid offered porridge, and he took it with his mouth, and the soup flowed all over his sleeve. Li Sheng said: "The public sentiment is that the old wind of the Ming Gong is launched, what does it mean to respect the body!" Sima Yi deliberately said out of breath: "Old age and illness, dying on the eve of death." Jun should bend and merge the state, and the state is close to Hu, so good as to do it, I am afraid that we will never see each other again, how! Li Sheng said: "When you return to Benzhou (Li Sheng is a native of Jingzhou), you should not merge with the state." Sima Yi deliberately confused his words: "Jun Fang went to the state and worked hard to love himself!" Li Sheng said again: "When Jingzhou." Sima Yi said: "Yi is old, ridiculous, and does not understand the king's words. Now it is still for the state, Shengde is heroic, and it is good to make meritorious deeds. Now when you say goodbye to you, your own strength will become weaker, and you will not be able to do it later, because you want to set up a thin master by yourself, and you will live and die together. The Lingshi and Zhao brothers are friends, and they can't give up each other, and they are the hearts of the people. "Choked with runny nose. Sheng also sighed and replied: "If you are a teacher, you must wait for your fate." Li Sheng came back and said to Cao Shuang: "Taifu's suffering cannot be recovered, which is sad. ("Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Pei Note, "The Biography of the End of Wei") Cao Shuang and others no longer guarded against Sima Yi.

Sima Yi pretended to be sick on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly arranged, preparing to eliminate Cao Shuang's power.

coup

In the first spring month of the first year of Jiaping (249), Emperor Cao Fang of Wei left Luoyang to pay homage to the tomb of Emperor Ming of Wei, Gaoping Mausoleum, and the general Cao Shuang, the leader of the army Cao Xi, and the general of Wuwei Cao Xun all followed. Sima Yi took the opportunity to play the Empress Dowager Yongning, and asked the Cao Shuang brothers to be abolished. At that time, Sima Shi was the middle protector army, leading troops to Tun Sima Gate and controlling Kyoto. Sima Yi lined up and passed in front of Cao Shuang's door, Cao Shuang's general Yan Shi ascended the stairs and wanted to shoot a crossbow, Sun Qian pulled his arm to stop him and said, "I don't know." ”

Dasi Nong Huan Fan went out of the city to vote for Cao Shuang, and Jiang Ji was worried: "The think tank is gone." Sima Yi said: "Fan Zezhi is wise, the horse loves the stack beans, and the cool must not be used." Sima Yi summoned Situ Gaorou to pretend to be a military general, take charge of Cao Shuang's military camp, and said to him: "Jun is Zhou Bo. [29] Summoned the prince to lead the military in Guanxing, and commanded Cao Xi's military camp[29]. (Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Biography of Cao Shuang [30])

Sima Yi led the Tai Lieutenant Jiang Ji and other troops to welcome the Son of Heaven and stationed at the Luoshui pontoon bridge. [31] Someone was sent to the emperor to state Cao Shuang's guilt.

"Dynasty Warriors" Sima Yi (15 photos)

Cao Shuang withheld the chapter, left the emperor in the south of Yishui, cut down trees to build antlers, and conscripted thousands of soldiers to defend himself. Huan Fan persuaded Cao Shuang to take the emperor hostage to Xuchang and sent a document to recruit the king of the world's soldiers and horses. Cao Shuang was really puzzled and didn't follow his plan. Instead, he sent Xu Yun and Shangshu Chen Tai to see Sima Yi at night to listen to the movement. Sima Yi took the opportunity to count Cao Shuang's mistakes and asked him to confess his guilt as soon as possible. Then he sent Cao Shuang's confidant, Lieutenant Colonel Yin Damu, to tell him that the imperial court only dismissed him from his official position and swore by Luoshui. Cao Shuang wanted to believe his words, and Huan Fan and others persuaded him from night to dawn the next day. As a result, Cao Shuang threw his knife to the ground and said, "Sima Cheng should want to take my power." I was able to return the title, and I was a rich man. Huan Fan cried and said: "Cao Zidan is a beautiful woman, Brother Shengru, calf ear!" He Tu sat on the Ru and other clans today to exterminate them" ("Three Kingdoms" Pei Note "Wei's Spring and Autumn Period")

So, Cao Shuang asked for dismissal and returned to Beijing with the emperor. As soon as the Cao Shuang brothers returned home, they were surrounded by Sima Yi's troops. In the four corners of Cao Shuang's mansion, he built high-rise buildings, and sent people to closely monitor them upstairs. Cao Shuang took the slingshot to the back garden, and the people upstairs shouted: "The old general goes southeast!" Cao Shuang was depressed and at a loss.

Soon, Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang and his henchmen He Yan, Ding Mi, Deng Yang, Bi Rail, Li Sheng, Huan Fan, etc., on the charge of rebellion, and exterminated the three clans; However, Sima Yi was particularly lenient with the second-rate figures under Cao Shuang, such as Lu Zhi, Xin Chang, Wang Shen and others, and later some people became the upstarts of the Jin Dynasty.

In February of the same year, the emperor appointed Sima Yi as the prime minister, and increased Fanchang, Yanling, Xinji, and Father City as their fiefdoms, counting eight counties before and after, and 20,000 households, and the concession was unknown. Sima Yi resigned from the post of prime minister, and was not accepted. In December, the edict added the gift of nine tin, the court will not worship, and the nine tin will be stubborn. [32] In the spring of the second year of Jiaping (250), Emperor Wei ordered Sima Yi to build a temple in Luoyang. Sima Yi has been ill for a long time, and he is not invited by the court, and whenever there is a major event, the Son of Heaven personally goes to his house to ask for advice.

Huainan counterinsurgency

Wang Ling is the nephew of Situ Wang Yun, and Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, Jia Kui and others were friends in the early years. Later, it was promoted to commonplace. Sima Yi punished Cao Shuang, Wang Ling was dissatisfied, and conspired with his nephew Linghu to establish Cao Biao, the king of Chu. did not send it, so that the fox stupid to death.

In the first month of the spring of the third year of Jiaping (251), Wang Ling asked for troops to be recruited under the pretext that the Wu people were smeared with water. Sima Yi knew of his conspiracy and did not order the army. And in April, he personally led the Chinese army to defeat Wang Ling. Sima Yi first issued a letter of pardon to pardon Wang Ling's sins, and wrote a letter to comfort him, but soon the army suddenly arrived. Wang Ling knew that he was poor, so he took a boat alone to greet him, sent his subordinate officials or asked for guilt, and sent a seal ribbon and a knot.

When Sima Yijun arrived at Wuqiu, Wang Ling waited by the water's edge, saying: "Qing Zhi summoned me with a simple fold, should I dare not to be evil?" It's to lead the army! Sima Yi said: "Yi Qing is not willing to simplify the one." After that, he ordered the general to lead 600 men and horses to send Wang Ling to Luoyang. Wang Ling asked Sima Yi for the nails on the coffin, wanting to test whether Sima Yi wanted to kill him, so Sima Yi ordered his subordinates to find them and give them to him. In May, Wang Ling went to Xiangcheng, despaired, and died of poison.

The Q version of the image of the 'Ghost of the Wolf'

Sima Yi marched into Shouchun, and those who participated in Wang Ling's conspiracy all surrendered. Sima Yi deduced that everything involved would be exterminated. Send people to dig up the graves of Wang Ling and Ling Huyu, dissect the corpses for three days in a nearby city, and then burn their seals and official clothes and bury them in the soil. Sima Yi also killed Cao Biao, the king of Chu. and arrested all the princes of Wei, placed them in Yecheng, and ordered a division to supervise them, and they were not allowed to communicate with each other.

Emperor Wei ordered Sima Yi to be the prime minister, the prince of Anping County, and one grandson and one brother to be the liehou, 50,000 households before and after, and 19 marquis. Sima Yi resigned from the position of the prime minister and the county prince.

Death resignation

In August of the third year of Jiaping (251), Sima Yi died in Jingshi at the age of seventy-three. In September of that year, Sima Yi was buried in Shouyang Mountain, Heyin, Zhen Wenzhen, posthumously sealed Xiangguo, county duke, Sima Fu adhering to his last wish, resigned from the county duke and special ceremony, and buried the funeral simply, as three articles of care, to collect the time, no tree or grave, no Ming device. After the nickname, it was changed to Wenxuan ("Jin Shu. Emperor Xuan"). But the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms [33] and the Book of Jin. Emperor Wen Ji [34] records that the nickname is "Xuanwen", and Guduo is subject to the latter.

After Sima Shi was crowned the queen of Jin, he posthumously named Sima Yi as the king of Xuan; In 265, Sima Zhao's son, Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, was honored by Wei Chan and given Sima Yi the title of Emperor Xuan, calling his mausoleum a plateau and a temple named Gaozu.
