The White Horse Raids the Three Kingdoms

He wrote very slowly, not even as good as a young child who just learned to write, but every stroke, with iron and silver hooks, pierced through the back of the paper, giving people a feeling of iron bones and strict strength.

All of a sudden, Gao Zhi's ears could only hear the sound of the pen tip cutting through the white paper, and he understood each line, as if gold and stone were engraved on the paper through the paper.

Picking up the brush and splashing the ink, the pen goes like a snake without any pause, and it turns out to be done in one go.

Words fell on the paper one by one, like drumsticks hitting the drum surface, making a booming sound.When the last word falls on the poem raft, each word resonates, as if a hundred battle drums are beating together.

Not long after, a letter was written eloquently, handed over to the servant, and left quickly.

"Let's go!"

Sima Lang got up and Gao Zhi turned their heads and smiled. The two of them, one in front and one behind, galloped on the wide ground, like two eagles in the sky, as if they were about to spread their wings and fly to the sky.

Youth is fleeting, if you don't have a life in this big world, who can leave willingly!

880 Four Hanoi Sima's

After some discussions, Sima Lang, who sent his servants back and forth to send letters back, finally chose to agree to Gao Zhi's invitation, and formally decided to serve in the Bingzhou forces and follow Gao Zhi's command, which can be regarded as initially joining Lu Bu's command .

So far, Gao Zhi has recruited talents from two aristocratic families for Lu Bula, the Xun family and the Sima family, and they are also families with the best power even among the big men.

You must know that at the end of the Han Dynasty at this time, the tyrants were rampant, and they firmly controlled the Qing Dynasty, academics, and even the career path.

Emperor Guangwu relied on the powerful forces of Nanyang and Hebei to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Although he repeatedly suppressed the mergers of the powerful, it still inevitably caused the expansion of local powerful forces.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was a regime established by powerful landlords, and gradually formed the so-called "well-dressed families" who served as officials or famous families for generations, scattered in various states and counties.In the struggle against eunuchs, they communicated and supported each other.After the failure of the eunuch, the contradictions within the gentry intensified.

The political, economic, and cultural power of the gentry continued to grow, which directly threatened the imperial power. Therefore, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were frequent situations where the emperor got close to the eunuchs and authorized the eunuchs to intervene in politics to attack the gentry.

The power struggle between the eunuchs and the gentry lasted for nearly a hundred years, and finally ended when Yuan Shao, who was born as a scholar, led troops into the palace and killed all the eunuchs.

Only in this way, the balance of the court was broken, and the gentry began to fight for power internally after they lost their old enemies such as eunuchs, which resulted in Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing to clean up the court.

Dong Zhuo also chose to cooperate with the Yuan family at first, recruiting everywhere, and also hoped that the gentry would give him political support.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo came out of a humble background, his family background was not obvious, he was excluded from the circle of gentry, and the scholars appointed to the prefectures and counties were repeatedly betrayed.

Especially after the trusted scholars Wu Qiong and Zhou Yu repeatedly coaxed Dong Zhuo to treat the scholars well and recruited them as officials, but after the scholars took office in the locality and rebelled, Dong Zhuo tore his face and openly became an enemy of the Kanto gentry.

This is also the cause and effect of what happened between the 200th year of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the year of Emperor Ling's death.

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

The power of the aristocratic family was very remarkable in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

There is no need to say more about the Xun family, just talk about the Sima family in Hanoi.

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

In ancient times, there was a man named Chongli, who was the official in charge of the world. Tang Yao once raised Chongli. When he was the same as King Xuan, there was Cheng Boxiu, the queen of Chongli. Fang made great contributions, and the royal family of Zhou allowed him to take his official position as his surname, and later he became the Sima family.

Jiuqu Yellow River stretches for thousands of miles, and there are countless places named after the long river. The famous ones are Hetao, Hexi, Hedong, Henan, Hebei...

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

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

In the anti-Qin war, Zhao general Sima Mao pacified the former Yin and Shang lands, and he made great military achievements. Xiang Yu named him King of Yin, king of Hanoi, and all Chaoge.The Hanoi here is not the Hanoi in Vietnam, but Jiaozuo in Henan today.

In the second year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang sent his soldiers out of Guanzhong, and went eastward to compete with Xiang Yu for the balance of the world. He crossed the Yellow River from Linjin, captured Hanoi, captured Sima Mao, king of Yin, and established Hanoi County.The territory of Hanoi County remained stable during the Qin and Han Dynasties, basically unchanged.

In terms of geographical location, Hanoi is located in the middle of the world, with the Yellow River to the south and the Taihang Mountains to the north, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with convenient transportation and a very important strategic position.Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty took Hanoi as his base, and then fought for the balance of the world, completing the revival of the Eastern Han Dynasty.In terms of politics and culture, Hanoi is the hometown of the Yin people, and has been one of the cultural centers of the Central Plains since the pre-Qin period.

Hanoi County is the hometown of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and the folk customs are tough, and they are still heroes. According to the records of "Historical Records: Huo Zhi Biography", the folk customs here are "letting a man be a traitor, not farming and business".

During the Han Dynasty, Chinese culture underwent a transformation from Wu to Wen, and Hanoi County was no exception.The Sima family recognized Zhao general Sima Mao as their ancestor.

Among Sima's ancestors, the more reliable figure is Sima Yi's great ancestor Sima Jun.

Sima Jun, the eighth grandson of Sima Ang, served as General Zhengxi; his son Sima Liang, served as Prefect of Yuzhang; his grandson Sima Jun, served as Prefect of Yingchuan; Zhao Yin; Sima Fang had eight sons, the second son was Sima Yi, and the eight sons were all famous scholars. Because each of them had the word "Da" in their characters, they were called "Ba Da".

The deeds of Sima Jun are scattered throughout the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". In summary, Sima Jun, as a Zhonglang in the first year of Yongchu, accompanied the chariot general Deng Zhi to attack the Western Qiang. for smooth.When Sima Jun reappeared in the historical records in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, he was already the general of Zuo Fengling who was marching to the west, and he supervised the army to attack Xianling Qiang.

But in this battle, Sima Jun committed suicide because of his dereliction of duty on the battlefield.

The Qiang Rebellion in Northwest China was a serious problem in the Eastern Han Dynasty. From what we have seen of Sima Jun's deeds, his main activities were related to the suppression of the Qiang Rebellion, with a strong military color, and no signs of Confucianism were found.

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

However, by the time Sima Jun, the grandson of Sima Jun, was at the latest, the Sima family in Hanoi had begun to be influenced by the Confucian tradition.

"Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Sima Lang" records that "Lang's grandfather is handsome, with different characters, erudite and fond of ancient times, suave and generous."

From his erudition and love of antiquity, it can be seen that Sima Jun has become a learned Confucian scholar, and his suave and magnanimity shows that his family's heroic background is good.

The Sima family is very powerful in Hanoi County, so "Three Kingdoms" also said "Xianjing Fuyan, a clan of the township party".

However, it is worth noting that although the Sima family "entered the literature from martial arts", there are still many differences between their family style and the traditional Confucianism families in the Han Dynasty, and the studies they advocate are not Confucian classics in a narrow sense.

Confucianism in the Han Dynasty emphasized imitating teachers, paying attention to the study of chapters and sentences, dedicated to adhering to one classic, and passing it down from generation to generation, forming many families of Confucian classics who stick to one classic for generations.

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

Of course, changes cannot be made overnight. Even if they start to change, the Sima family still has the color of a local wealthy family.

Confucianists in the Qing Dynasty could defend themselves and were not enough to gather crowds, while the Sima family was attached to the township clan. Those who can be convinced by the crowd often need general strategy and financial resources, which are the basic characteristics of local big clans.

880 Five Zongshi

Of course, the Sima family's position in Hanoi is indeed as stable as the emperor of the earth. However, their rule does not lie in the oppression of the landlords and tyrants, but in the subtle and silent control of things.

Rather than controlling the place, they paid more attention to the cultivation of literature and reputation.

Speaking of literature, the emergence of the family of Confucian classics in the Eastern Han Dynasty is closely related to the prosperity and development of Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucian classics teaching advocated "family law", and gradually formed "family learning", passing on classics for generations. family.

For example, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the famous Runan Yuan family ruled "Meng Shi Yi", and the Hongnong Yang family ruled Ouyang Shangshu for generations.

It can be said that the top families in the Eastern Han Dynasty must be governed by the classics.

Relatively speaking, the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan is not as good as that of the Hongnong Yang family.

The name of the Xun family in Yingchuan must be able to overwhelm the Chen family in Yingchuan.

The Sima family in Hanoi also became a leader in the county.

There is a difference between the old and the new style of study between the Sima family's ethos of learning and loving the ancients and the family of Confucian classics who only stick to the classics.
