During the Warring States Period, the north of the Yellow River was Hanoi, and the south and west were outside the river. During the Warring States period, Hanoi was the territory of Wei, and at the end of Qin, Sima Mao was named King Yin by Xiang Yu, and the capital was in Hanoi. When Han Gaozu ascended the throne, he set up the Yin State, and the following year it was renamed Hanoi County (now Jiaozuo District, Henan), located in the southeast of Taihang Mountain and north of the Yellow River. Sixteen counties and Wen counties are one of them. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Hanoi County was famous for its horse breeding.

The Western Jin Dynasty inherited the three-level system of state, county and county established in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Hanoi County has a total of 15 counties, and the county is governed by Yewang County (now Qinyang, Henan). In the second year of the beginning of Tai (266), Hanoi County was divided into 6 counties: Ji County, Chao Ge County, Gong County, Lin Shu County, Huojia County, and Xiu Wu County.

The Hanoi area is one of the earliest areas of activity of the ancient Chinese people, and it is also the county seat of the Sima clan of the current imperial family. In the sixth year of Emperor Jian'an (201), Sima Yi was the governor of Hanoi County.

Wen County because of the hinterland of the Central Plains, and according to the Yellow River Jindu, the Warring States period to the Qin and Han dynasties, Wen County has been the "rich crown of the sea" of the "famous capital of the world", later generations due to the wars of the past dynasties have been robbed, as well as the flooding of the Yellow River and other reasons, the population migration is frequent, gradually declined, and gradually became a small county in secluded towns. However, at this time, this Wen County is a well-known county in the Great Jin Kingdom. As the ancestral home of the Sima royal family, it is naturally guarded by countless guards all year round.

Wen County was called "Wen" in ancient times, because there are two hot springs in the territory. One is in the northwest of present-day Mengzhou City, Zhiqiang Village (in ancient times), cool in summer and warm in winter, flowing into Yubromi, and one in the southwest of present-day Wenzhou County. It is also said that "Wen" originated from the feudal name of Su Chasheng in the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

The surname Sima is a great surname in China from ancient times to the Middle Ages. Sima's surname can be traced back to the official name. "Sima" is an ancient official name, referring to the military attache who dispatched the armed forces, in charge of the military of the world, and it is said that the post of Sima was set up during the period of the ancient emperor Shaohao. Sima is the descendant of those who held the position of Sima.

The Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty both had Sima as a military attaché, and later generations also used it. However, some of the subsequent Sima could be civil officials (there were also civil officials called "Sima" after the Shang and Zhou periods).

According to the historical book "Tongzhi Clan Strategy", tracing back to the source, the ancestor of the Sima family was Cheng Boxiu's father, who was an official in charge of military affairs and conquest during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, because he had made meritorious contributions to many wars. He was given the surname Sima, and his descendants were surnamed Sima by "taking the official as the clan". Cheng Boxiu's father was a prince during the Yin and Zhou dynasties, and was passed down by the descendants of Zhu Rong's Chongli after the ancient Emperor Zhuan. Some of the descendants of Cheng Boxiu's father were surnamed Sima "with the official as their name", and some of them were surnamed Cheng according to the custom of "taking the country as their name". Therefore, the Sima clan is from the Cheng family, and the Cheng family is a family. Sima's surname was about 2,700 years ago. The descendants of the Sima family are the ancestors of the Sima family, and the father of Cheng Boxiu is the ancestor of the Sima family.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were also (in addition to Cheng Boxiu's father) the children of the Gong clan named after this official position. Although these descendants are not as prestigious as those of Cheng Boxiu's father, this shows that the Sima surname is not from a family, but all of them are descended from Cheng Boxiu's father.

Between Chu and Han, Sima Wei was the general of Zhao. and the princes to fight Qin. After the battle of the giant deer, he entered the customs with Xiang Yu. After the destruction of Qin, Xiang Yu divided the Wei country into the three kingdoms of Western Wei, Yin and Henan, and named Sima Wei as the king of Yin, and built the capital to sing. Therefore, at this time, Sima Wei was one of the eighteen princes and kings named by Xiang Yu.

In March of the second year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (205 BC), Liu Bang, the king of Han, crossed the Yellow River from Linjin, captured the interior of the river, captured Sima Wei, the king of Yin, and placed it as Hanoi County. April. In the Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu led 30,000 elite soldiers to defeat Liu Bang and the 560,000 troops of the five princes, and Sima Wei was killed by the Chu army.

The Han Dynasty took its land as a county, and the descendants of Sima Wei took Hanoi County as their home. The eighth grandson of Ziang. When Emperor An of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was born to conquer the Western General Jun, and the word Shuping. Sima Junsheng Yuzhang is too conservative, and the word is fair. The amount of Yingchuan is too shou Sima Jun. The characters are different. Junsheng Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang, the word Jiangong. Sima Fang is Sima Yi's father. Sima Yi is the thirteenth grandson of Sima Ang, and his family has been an official for generations.

It can be seen that the Sima family in Hanoi is also a first-class family of gate lords in this world. Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, said in one of his edicts: "This is a family of all students. It's been a long time". Therefore, this Sima Yan was very proud of his ancestors. The Wei and Jin dynasties were the most prosperous period for the gate lord clan, and the reason why this Sima clan was able to get the support of so many high-grade scholars was not unrelated to its origin.

This Sima Shugui is the crown prince and the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he has been familiar with his ancestral hometown and ancestral county wang since he was a child. Therefore, Lin Yifang can know that the Tao is so clear.

Sima Yi, whose name is Zhongda, was born in Xiaojingli, Wen County, Hanoi (Zhaoxian Town, Wen County, Henan). Sima Fangyu had eight sons, because there was a word "Da" in the word, and he was known as Sima Bada at that time. Sima Yi was born in troubled times, "often worried about the world", "rarely has strange festivals, is smart and strategic, erudite and informed, and submissively Confucianism". In the official history of the imperial court, the "Gaozu" was good at scheming, assisting the government to quell the chaos, the three dynasties entrusted the lonely ministers, borrowed the Wu knife to kill Guan Yu, trapped Zhuge with clever tricks, killed the grandson in the hundred days, captured Meng Da in Yingxun, except for Cao Shuang in the moment, died and resigned, and other deeds were praised to the sky, and Lin Yi had already memorized it.

However, although this Sima Shu is familiar with the noble bloodline and heroic deeds of this ancestor, it is the first time he has come to this ancestral land.

The small village where Sima's hometown is located is called such a strange name in Xiaojing, and naturally there is a legendary story. It is said that the north of this village was originally a ruined temple. At that time, Sima Wei's mother begged for food here and gave birth to him under the dance building of the broken temple. When he was born, it was winter, and the well-wishers put half a bag of noodles in front of the broken temple gate so that his mother and son did not starve to death. His mother and son settled here, and later participated in the army of Zhao State, and after becoming famous, Sima Wei naturally lived up to the kindness of the villagers and has always treated them very well.

Because Sima Wei was filial to his mother, he served as a soldier in Zhao State and was named the queen of Yin, but he still did not forget the grace of his mother's childbirth and upbringing, especially after his mother died and was buried in filial piety, he often went home to worship his mother during the battle interval, and every time he went back, he dismounted in the village 5 miles away from the east of Xiaojing Village, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three heads, and then walked to his mother's mausoleum to pay respects. In order to promote Sima Wei's virtues, people renamed the village where Sima Wei was born and raised as Xiaojingli. Sima Wei died at the hands of the Chu army, and his descendants also migrated to this filial piety.

This legend is naturally not recorded in the official history, and Lin Yi only learned about it from the conversations of the merchants and people of Wen County.

This Wen County is the Central Plains traffic artery, and it is the ancestral home of the Dajin royal family today, so in addition to the businessmen who come from the south to the north, there are many Confucian students who come to visit in the city, and this small county town is really crowded. The city is full of merchants and vendors, shouting for local specialties such as Thanh Hoa ginger, taro, and Huai Yam. Especially this iron stick yam. The taste is particularly beautiful, known as a vegetarian treasure, a good nourishing product, and it is really a fairy food. Even Lin Yi couldn't help but be moved.

Out of this Wen County, along a wide official road to the north, this destination is this filial piety, that is, the ancestral home of the royal Sima clan. Before arriving at this filial piety, a huge palace city came into view, much more magnificent than the county town of Nawen, but it was much cleaner. There were barely any people in sight, except for the sound of the horses' hooves and snare drums of the patrolling soldiers, and it seemed as if it were out of place from this place.

It turns out that this is Jincheng, when Sima Zhao was named the king of Jin, he wanted to dominate the industry, so he built a large-scale city in his hometown of Wen County Xiaojing, called "Jincheng". This city is divided into two cities, the inner city is called Anle Palace. It is where Sima Zhao and his people live. There are Zhaoxian Village, Hujia Village, Shanghua Garden, School Captain Camp and other places in the outer city.

Especially Zhaoxianzhuang. It was named after Sima Zhao who set up a recruitment hall here to recruit wise men from all over the world. More than 50 years ago, how many wise men from all over the world came here to defect to the Sima clan, which led to the power of the Sima clan and the opposition, and finally replaced Wei Jianjin.

This Jincheng is prosperous for a while. It was not until after Sima Yan replaced Wei as emperor that most of Sima's children and his staff moved to Luoyang City, and it gradually became depressed.

Lin Yi hasn't arrived in the outer city yet. I felt the tension of the surrounding environment, and there were patrolling guards everywhere, five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the Jincheng was really surrounded by airtightness. The common people are very concerned about their ancestral hometown, not to mention the Sima clan of the Great Jin Dynasty, of course, it is heavily guarded by heavy soldiers and guarded by loyal elders in the clan.

Although this place is heavily guarded, it is naturally difficult for Lin Yi and others, and he easily entered the Anle Palace in this inner city. This Anle Palace and the surrounding buildings, but obviously different, is not the herringbone arch and a bucket three liters combination of the structure of the Wei and Jin mainstream building structure, look at its structure more like the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the buildings are more simple and old, I don't know how many years of baptism, it seems that this is the ancestral hometown of the Sima family, but the site of the ancestor of the Sima family, King Yin, Sima Wei is difficult to find, this has been more than 500 years past, has long been destroyed in the natural weathering or war.

One of the largest ancient buildings in this Anle Palace is the former residence of Sima Yi. A pair of Eguan Bo belts, holding a sword behind him in his left hand, leaning forward slightly, his face was serene, and the appearance of a scheming Sima Yi was already present in Lin Yi's mind.

Emperor Xuan of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi, like Emperor Cao Cao of Wei, although he did not finally ascend the throne as the emperor, and there was no fact of the emperor, they were all posthumously sealed by later generations, but they were indeed the founders of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

In the first month of 238 A.D. (the second year of the beginning of the Jing Dynasty), Sima Yi led troops to quell the rebellion of Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong. When I passed by my hometown at that time, I drank and feasted with my hometown fathers and elders in front of my hometown, as well as my colleagues, relatives and friends who saw them off, and generously sang a song: "Heaven and earth open up, and the sun and moon shine again." Encounters will be met with all kinds of effort. will sweep away the filth and return to the hometown. Clear thousands of miles, always help all directions. Tell the old man and wait for the sin. "Chinese literati doctors love to write poetry when they feel emotional. This poem shows Sima Yi's ambition and ideals, and appears sincere and cordial.

People travel thousands of miles to return to their hometown, people have hometown complexes, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they will eventually return to their homeland. Sima Yi's return to his hometown this time can be regarded as a return to his hometown, he has special treatment, and the emperor issued an edict to let local officials attend the meeting. The emperor personally gave the grain silk cattle wine. Sima Yi, like his ancestor Sima Wei, respects the villagers and does not forget the people of his hometown. Sima Yi saw that his father was old and old, and he feasted and drank for a few days, and he was amazed.

Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming asked Sima Yi how long it would take to go on this expedition, and Sima Yi replied: "Go for 100 days, return for 100 days, attack for 100 days, and rest for 60 days, one year is enough." ”

When Gongsun Yuan heard that the Wei army was attacking, he begged 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 virtuous brother." But when Sima Yi really reached Liaodong, the actual situation was more difficult than he imagined: first, the Gongsun regime had existed for three generations for 48 years, nearly half a century, and the roots were so deep that it was difficult to clear them all at once. Second, 40,000 people traveled long distances, and logistical supply was difficult. Thirdly, it is necessary to go deep into the enemy's theater of operations and fight without rear. Alone and far away, crises lurked, so the conquest of Liaodong posed a huge challenge to Sima Yi's military command ability and political operation skills.

Sima Yi adopted the first move to attack the west from the east, first put up multiple banners on the southern front, feint to encircle the trenches, attract the enemy's main force, and use the main force to cross the Liaoshui in concealment and force into the enemy's Xiangping base camp. Then the array was reorganized and advanced, and the enemy army came out to intercept as Sima Yi expected. Sima Yi said to the generals: "The reason why I didn't attack his camp was precisely because I had to wait for the current situation. So he commanded the Wei army to attack. The three battles were victorious, and then he took advantage of the victory to enter the siege of Xiangping. This second trick lured the snake out of the hole, hit the snake seven inches, and besieged Gongsun Yuan in Xiangping.

At this time, it coincided with heavy rainfall, the Liaoshui 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 speak out to move the camp to be beheaded, and the governor ordered Shi Zhangjing to be beheaded in violation of the order. The heart of the army is at peace. This third move not only established Sima Yi's prestige in the army, but also made the army's morale more stable.

Gongsun Yuanjun rode the rain out of the city to collect firewood and herd horses. Peace of mind. 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. Therefore, in ten and a half years, he captured the fortified city and killed Meng Da. This time I came from afar. Why are you moving more slowly?"

Sima Yi said: "In those days, Mengda's army was small and the grain could last for a year, but our soldiers were four times as much as Mengda's grain but less than one month's food, so how could we not fight a quick battle against an army with one month's grain against an army with one year's rations? 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 better to stabilize the opponent and not scare the enemy away for 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 Wei Ming said: "Sima Yi is in danger to make changes, and the capture of Gongsun Yuan is just around the corner." ”

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. The city had already begun to eat people, and Gongsun Yuan was also very frightened, so he took the initiative to surrender. This is Sima Yi's fourth move to besiege but not attack, closing the door and catching thieves.

In August, Gongsun Yuan sent Xiang Wang Jian and Imperial Historian Liu Fu to ask for relief from the siege. Sima Yi beheaded the envoy and issued a document to severely reprimand: "In the past, Chu and Zheng were parallel countries, and Zheng Boshang welcomed the Chu army with meat and sheep. The lonely family is the king's minister, and he is in Shanggong, and Wang Jian and others want me to break the siege and retreat from the army, and treat each other like Chu Zheng. The two of them are old and confused, and they must have beheaded them because their words did not match the original meaning. If there is anything to be said, then send a young man who is wise and determined. ”

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. Sima Yi entered the city, released Gongsun Gong, who had been 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. ”

Sima Yi: This is to spread values. The butcher's knife makes people turn around, and culture makes people nod. Only the means of nodding can bring long-term stability, and cultural solutions have always been, and if you want long-term peace and stability, you must adopt cultural means. Force can fight the world, but it cannot rule the world.

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." Sima Yi understands this, the emperor sent you to a distant place, you can see the loyalty, if you divide the cotton clothes, how many people are staring at you behind you. There are also those who are jealous and framed. You can't say anything. Greed is small, but disloyalty is big. The great generals of the ancient war were worried that the leaders doubted your loyalty. There are too many things to kill generals. Taiping was originally determined by the general, and the general was not allowed to see the peace.

In this way, with this superhuman military talent, Sima Yi won the class within the original one-year time limit, completed the unimaginable task of ordinary people, and completely annihilated Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong, and Liaodong was peaceful from then on. Cao Wei's decades-long Liaodong problem was finally completely resolved.

After Sima Yi invaded Xiangping City, he 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. Therefore, more than 10,000 innocent soldiers and civilians were slaughtered in this battle. (To be continued......)
