Sima had a good reputation as a teenager, looked down on money, and was very kind to wise men. Sima Yan, the emperor of Jin Dynasty, met the kings of the vassal states and praised Sima Yi as an example of the vassal states.
In the first year of Yuankang (29 1), on the ninth day of August, he served as a corps commander in the north and guarded Yecheng.
In September of the ninth year of Yuankang (299), Sima replaced Sima Yi, the king of Liang, as the general of Pingxi, guarding Guanzhong. According to the regulations at that time, people who were not particularly close to the royal family could not command Guan Zhong. Sima is a distant person among the princes, and he was specially appointed because of his talent.
In response to the second year of Yongkang (30 1), Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, usurped the throne and Sima, the king of Qi, plotted against it. The original Anxi joined the army, and Xiahou claimed to be an imperial envoy. In Shiping, he assembled soldiers, recruited thousands of people to respond to Sima, and sent messengers to invite Sima to start his troops. Sima Yi sent Yang Fang, the chief bookkeeper, and Zhang Fang, a member of Hejian, to crusade against Xiahou and behead more than ten people, including Xiahou, at the gates of Chang 'an. When the battle of Sima arrived, Sima arrested the emissary of Sima and gave it to Sima Lun. Sima Lun fine-tuned the soldiers to Sima, and Sima sent Zhang Fang to lead Guan Youqiang. When Zhang Fang went to Huayin, Sima heard that the two kings were powerful, so he added Li Han, the chief historian, as General Long Xiang, and also supervised the guards and others to recover Zhang Fang's army to deal with the two kings. When the volunteers arrived in Tongguan, Sima Lun and Sun Xiu had been killed. Sima Zhong, the Emperor of Jinhui, returned to the throne and led his troops back. When Sima decided to make contributions, although he was angry with Sima Chu, he remembered that he could finally help the great things and promoted him to the position of Shi Zhong, Qiu and Jia Sanxi.
In the second year of the secret edict of Yongning (302), Li Han was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Yi army. Because of resentment against Sima for joining the army, such as Huangfushang and Sima, he went to Sima and pretended to accept the emperor's secret edict against Sima. Chen said that he was interested. Sima accepted his suggestion, immediately sent his troops, and sent someone to invite Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, to go out with him. Li Han was appointed Commander-in-Chief, leading troops stationed in Yinpan. The vanguard troops are stationed in Xin 'an, which is away from Luoyang 120. Send someone to Wang Sima and Changsha to conquer Sima. When Sima failed, Sima appointed Li Han as Henan Yin.
In the second year of Taian (303), Sima Rang, Bian Cui secretly planned to assassinate Sima. Huangfushang knew that Li Han forged documents and plotted against Sima, and they all told Sima what they knew. Sima killed Li Han and others. Sima heard that Li Han was killed, and immediately set out in the name of punishing Huangfu merchants, and sent Zhang Fang as commander in chief, leading 70,000 chosen men to March into Luoyang (now Luoyang, Henan). Zhang Fang attacked Huangfushang, but Huangfushang resisted first and then collapsed. Zhang then marched to the west gate. Sima led Zhong Jun's left and right guards to meet Zhang Fang. Zhang Fang's soldiers were defeated and more than 5,000 people died. Zhang Fang initially set up a military camp in the west of Shuiqiao, where he built several barriers and introduced military provisions from other places to prepare for military supplies. Sima followed Jin Huidi out of the city to attack Zhang Fang, and the battle was unfavorable.
In the first year of Yongxing (304), Sima was killed and Zhang Fang returned to Chang 'an (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi). Emperor Jinhui appointed Sima as Taizai, Dadu and Yongzhou Pastoral. Sima abolished Prince Sima Qin, made Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, his younger brother, changed his title and granted amnesty to the world.
In the second year of hijacking Yongxing (305), left-back Chen followed Sima Ying, and Sima sent Zhang Fang to lead twenty thousand troops to save Yecheng. Emperor Jinhui has arrived in Yecheng. Zhang Fang was stationed in Luoyang. When Wang Jun conquered Sima Ying, Sima Ying held Jin Huidi hostage and returned to Luoyang. Zhang Fang led soldiers into the palace, forced Emperor Jinhui to his barracks, robbed the treasure, and planned to burn the palace and ancestral temple, which made everyone desperate. Lu Zhi advised him to give up. Zhang Fang drove Jin Huidi to Chang 'an. So Sima Yi selected officials and changed Qin Zhou to Dingzhou. When Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, set out for Xuzhou to meet Emperor Jinhui of the West, people in Guanzhong were very scared. Zhang Fang said to Sima: "I still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command, so I will send Jin Huidi back to Luoyang Palace and let Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, return to Yecheng. You stay in Guanzhong, and I will attack Boling in the north. In this way, the world can be slightly stable, and there are no more people who reach out. " Sima thinks it is difficult to achieve something, and disagrees. Therefore, he borrowed the government and Liu, and was promoted to be a general in the town east, and made Sima Ying lead Loubao, Chen Wang and other troops to guard the river bridge and make an enemy of Sima Yue. Wang Jun sent overseers to protect Liu Gen and led 300 cavalry to the edge of the Yellow River. Wang Zhan went to war and was killed by Liu Gen. Sima Ying stationed troops in Zhang Fang's former camp, and Sima Fan sent Xianbei cavalry and soldiers from Pingchang and Boling to attack Heqiao. Lou Bao fled to the west, and the chasing cavalry arrived in Xin 'an, and countless people died on the road.
In 306, Sima Yue kept the isolated city Yongxing for three years. Because Zhang Fang hijacked and moved Jin Huidi, everyone complained and became angry. First, he advocated uprising, agreed a date with Shandong governors, and welcomed the return of Emperor Jinhui. One is to send someone to persuade Sima to send Jin Huidi back to Kyoto, enfeoffment Shaanxi himself, and rule together with Sima. Sima wanted to listen to his suggestion, but Zhang Fang disagreed. When the troops in the east won a great victory, Sima Ying and others failed, Sima Cai ordered Zhang Fang's confidant general Zhifu to behead Zhang Fang overnight and send his head to the troops in the east. Soon he changed his mind and sent Diao Mo to guard Tongguan, but blamed Zhifu for killing Zhang Fang and beheading Zhifu. Lu Lang, the vanguard general of Sima Yi, was besieged in Xingyang. Liu Kun, Sima of Wang, showed Lu Lang Zhang Fang's head, and Lu Lang surrendered. At that time, the eastern army was very strong and defeated Diao Mo. Sima was afraid and sent Ma Zhan and Guo Wei to resist in Bashui. Ma Zhan fled after the defeat. Sima fled to Taibai Mountain on his own.
Eastern troops entered Chang 'an, and Emperor Jinhui returned, taking Taibao Liu Liang as the general of Zhenxi and guarding Guanzhong. Ma Su and others went out to Liu Liang and took the opportunity to assassinate Liu Liang together in the city. Ma Zhan and others joined hands with Shi Ping magistrate Liang Mai to meet Sima in Nanshan. Sima refused to enter the DPRK at first, and Chang 'an ordered Zhu Yong, governor of Suzhong and Archives Office, to persuade Sima to lie about Liu Liangzhi's death, before he knew about Zhang Fang's stay in North Korea. The prefects of Hongnong, Pei, Qin Shi, Anding and others set out to attack Sima and chop Ma Zhan and Liang Mai. Sima Yue sent Huhu Elk Huang to lead the army of this country to crusade against Sima. When he arrived at Zhengdi, Sima Yi's general led Xiu to resist Milu Huang, who beheaded him and killed his two sons. The rebels occupied Guanzhong, and Sima only kept the isolated city.
In the first year of Yongjia (306), Sima Yue took Sima as Stuart and Sima accepted the call-up. Sima Yue's younger brother, Nanyang Mo, sent Liang Chen to Yungu, Xin 'an (now Mianchi East, Henan Province), strangled Sima in the car and killed his three sons. Sima Rong, the son of Peng Cheng Yuan, was appointed as the son of Sima Shi and renamed as the king of Lecheng County.
Historical evaluation of Sima Yan: "It can be a tool for all countries."
Fang et al., Book of Jin, Volume 1, "Li was cheated and abused by Zhang Fangling, so he lost his yuan and was beheaded. Changsha boasted that he had no ambition and was unjust. Driving north, no war; It is good luck to take advantage of the west, not to look at the rankings. If a fire causes a prairie fire, it can still be put out. If you are patient, can you be vulgar? " 2 "There are few names, light money and light love."
