As mentioned last time, Liu Hou and the three stinkers planned to send people to infiltrate Wei to "rescue" Sima Yi's relatives, so that Sima Yi would have to surrender and achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight.

Therefore, Liu Hou called the "CIA" personnel who accompanied the army and asked him to quickly investigate the situation of the Sima family in Wei and prepare a "rescue" plan.

During this period, Liu Hou asked the army to camp outside the city, and only sent a small number of men and horses to the city every day to harass and scold, but did not carry out a substantial siege, so as not to make unnecessary sacrifices for the soldiers.

However, the vulture bones of the rear army really caught a lot of battles, because the Wei army also had a force of up to 50,000 people to outflank the south of the Shu army, and Liu Hou was worried that they would cut off his transportation channel, so he ordered the vulture bones to drive them away. As a result, the vulture bones continued to have friction with them, and there were constant big and small battles. The vulture finally tasted what he wanted, and there were many happy battles during this time.

In the end, the two sides reached a tacit understanding to keep a safe distance from each other, and the fighting gradually decreased. In this process, the ratio of losses of the Shu and Wei armies reached one to ten, and the Shu army relied on the super protective ability of rattan armor and the advantage of firearms that were much more advanced and numerical than the Wei army, so that the battle loss ratio of the two sides was very different.

Liu Hou waited for seven days, and only after seven days did the "CIA" return with information. Don't be afraid that this time is long, there were no planes, trains, cars and ships in ancient times, and there were no telegraphs, telephones, emails, QQ, WeChat, want to communicate? Okay, if you have money, you can ride a horse or a carriage, and if you don't have money, walk obediently.

The "CIA" news was delivered in an expedited manner of 800 miles, and it is not known how many horses were killed and how many heralds were exhausted on the way, and it was already a miracle that the information returned in seven days.

Liu Hou got the information from the "CIA" and his heart was half cold, why? Because Sima Yi's family is too large and too populous in Wei. The Sima clan in Hanoi is not only very powerful, but also entrenched in the Wei government and the opposition, how can such a behemoth uproot them and transplant them to Shu?

The Hanoi Sima family has a prominent family history and a long history, which can be traced back to Chongli, the son of Emperor Gaoyang, and the Xia Dynasty, when his family was an official Sima. When King Xuan of Zhou, he was given an official clan by the official Keping Xu Fang, so it was a clan. This is where the surname Sima comes from.

When it came to the dispute between Chu and Han, Sima Yang was a general of Zhao and fought against Qin with the princes. After the death of Qin, he was established as the king of Yin, and the capital was Hanoi. In the Han Dynasty, the Sima clan took its land as a county, and its descendants took it as their home, and since then the Sima clan has flourished in Hanoi County. The Sima clan has always been a member of the Hanoi clan, and almost every generation has someone who has been an official.

Until Sima Yi's great-grandfather Sima Jun, he also served as the general of the expedition to the west when he was Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, his great-grandfather Sima Liang was Yuzhang Taishou, his grandfather Sima Jun was Yingchuan Taishou, and his father Sima Fang was Jingzhaoyin.

The reason why I am rambling here is that I am talking about a lot of Sima family's Weishui history, not because I want to make up the number of words, but because I want to tell everyone that the Sima family is very large and very remarkable.

There have been so many big cattle in history, and it is conceivable what kind of Cheng dù this family will bring. Why is the big bull family big? It's very simple, only big people have the ability to marry more wives and concubines. If you marry more wives, you will naturally have more children.

It's not enough to give birth to a child, you still have to be able to afford it, even if ordinary people let you give birth casually, they may not be able to raise it, and even if they can live, they may not be able to give them a good education.

Big cattle are different, they are rich and powerful, even if they raise a football team, they have no problem, so they can work hard to give birth, and those born can be well raised. This is a very simple truth, don't say it's ancient, even if in modern YY urban novels, the male protagonist is not three wives and four concubines hugging the harem stallion left and right?

Not to mention the city, in reality, some rich people or FB powerful people (note that some, not all), they often have a common characteristic, that is, they all have many lovers and have many children. Even director XX is no exception, he gave birth to n children and was fined millions by the family planning department.

What does this mean? This fully shows that wanting to marry many wives and have many children is everything, oh no, at least it is the most desired thing in most men's hearts.

Most people don't do this because they don't have the conditions, and once they do, most men will take this step, which is the theoretical basis for the saying: "Men become bad when they have money".

This may be a natural instinct hidden in the DNA, and the reason why God has set such a nature in the DNA of men is probably to promote the reproduction of human beings.

It was under the impetus of such a nature that the Sima clan multiplied into a big family, and one party was strong. Let's not talk about the other side branches of the Sima clan, and we won't talk about the ones that are too long, just talk about Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, who served as a local official when he was young, successively served as Luoyang Ling, Jing Zhaoyin, and was transferred to the cavalry lieutenant after he was old.

Jing Zhaoyin is equivalent to the mayor of the modern capital, this official is not small, it is a big bull, this kind of big bull wants a few lovers very simple, just hook your fingers and there are many "young and ignorant" girls who take the initiative to dedicate themselves, in ancient times when polygamy was legal, there was no need to scruple anything, and no one said that you were interested in marrying ten or eight, on the contrary, it may be called amorous and amorous, and it is rumored to be a beautiful talk.

We don't know how many wives and concubines Sima Fang has, but we know that he has eight sons, because there is a "Da" character in the word, which was called "Sima Bada" at that time.

In ancient times, men were inferior to women, these eight sons were recorded in history, we all know their names, but he also gave birth to several daughters we have no way of knowing, it stands to reason that it is unlikely that even eight are men, and there must be a few women during the period, so it seems that the total number of children he gave birth to is estimated to be at least a dozen.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he gave birth to a football team, even if he is not a girl, his eight sons can play an eight-a-side football game. These eight brothers are all promising, all of them have become officials, and a few of them are also big bulls, and the worst ones are at least medium bulls.

The eight brothers are: Han Yanzhou Thorn Shi Sima Lang, the word Boda; Wei Taiwei (Emperor Xuan of Jin) Sima Yi, the word Zhongda; Wei Dazai (King Anping of Jin) Sima Fu, the word Shuda; Wei Dongwu City Hou Sima Kui, the word Jida; Wei Honglu Cheng Sima Sui, the word is obvious; Wei Zhonglang Sima Jin, the word Huida; Wei Ancheng Pavilion Hou Sima Tong, the word Yada; Wei Anping Pavilion Hou Sima Min, the word Yuda.

Well, these eight brothers are all officials, and there are no small officials, they are not just calves, then they will definitely marry a lot of wives, and they will also spread out, if everyone has a football team again, then how big should this family be?

If it is an ordinary person, only two or three acres of thin days, and one or two broken thatched huts, this business will give up, as long as more benefits are promised, it is easy for them to move to a new place to live again.

But all the people in this Sima family are officials in the Wei State, and they are all big officials, and their families are big, what benefits do you promise to make people tempt the whole family to move? It's almost impossible.
