On this day, among dozens of cities in the three prefectures under Cao Cao's rule, teams of servants appeared at the city gate, government office, and drum tower in the city.

These officers took out the list of documents and posted them everywhere in the city. Then, waves of sounds of gongs and drums spread throughout the city, attracting the people to stop.

"Since Emperor Gaozu started his business, the world was pacified, Guangwu restored the country, and Jiuzhou calmed down. It has been passed down for more than 400 years, but eunuchs caused disasters, traitors and ministers disrupted the government, and the country gradually declined and the ancestral temples did not rise. I was the King of Chenliu, and Dong thieves were moody and deposed my brother and made his ranks rampant. In the following years, many difficulties and troubles were caused by the thorns for a long time. Even the world collapsed, slandered ministers rose up, the country was buried, and the people were suffering from the misfortune."

"Fortunately, the Han heirs are endless. General Cao Cao, the loyal and good descendants, was both wise and brave, and supported the court. He had the merits of Yi and Huo. This was the blessing of ancestors and also the blessing of me and the people."

"After the evil people in the countryside, Liu He was accused of entrusting the royal family, deceived the world, colluded with the barbarians, valued merchants and overly suspicious scholars, violated etiquette and law, tampered with ancestral teachings, deceived the emperor and abused power, and stole magical tools. Later, he repeatedly killed loyal ministers, committed many crimes of killing, increased taxes without reason, and abused harsh policies. He was actually a shameless person. When he was a minister, he was more evil than Dong Zhuo. When he was a king, he was more violent than Jie and Zhou."

"I have heard that many righteous men in the country are hard to meet heroes. Every man is humiliated and draws his sword to rise up, the country is in trouble, and stands up. He is planned by his ancestors and thought of by all the people in the world. I specially issued this edict to recruit all the virtuous people to fight against the traitors together. I am willing to follow the affairs of King Zhao of Yan, be eager to seek talents, be willing to be worthy of a thousand gold, and not to care about the show of the duke, so that the aspiring people should pay attention to the country, kill the traitors within and fight against the Hu bandits outside, so that the country will not be affected by internal disasters, and the people will not be sad about leaving the land. Then the people will be very lucky and the country will be very lucky."

As soon as a list of talents was released, all directions were shaken.

Sili, Hedong County.

The Sima family is one of the most prominent families in Hedong. Although Sima Fang stepped down as the Jingzhao Yin a few years ago, no one in the Sima family has become an official in the court, but even so, with the reputation and status of the Sima family, it is still unshakable in a county in Hedong.

However, in the past few days, the Sima family has changed their past life to thank guests at a close distance, study quietly, and practice martial arts. The clan branches frequently dispatched to sell land, mansions, etc., which made ordinary people very puzzled. However, the other major tribes around the Sima Mansion seemed to be not surprised at all, and even many of them were quickly sold, just like the Sima family.

"Brother..."

A middle-aged man with a face as if he was cut by a knife and a cold expression walked into the lobby and saluted Sima Fang.

Sima Fang saw the visiting person and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, how are you doing?"

The man said, "The family's industries in Sili, Liangzhou and Bingzhou have been transferred out, and half of them have been replaced with fertile fields in Xuzhou, Jingzhou and Yuzhou. This is the land franchises."

He took out a stack of contracts from his arms and handed them to Sima Fang with both hands.

Sima Fang took it and let out a long sigh: "My second brother is really quick to do things. In this way, my Sima family can also feel at ease."

At this time, three more figures walked in from outside the door.

"Father."

Among the three, one was a young man in his twenties, and the other two were only over ten years old, but they were both tall and tall with bright eyes. Sima Fang immediately gave an order when he saw them.

"Don't be idle either. Quickly pack up your own fine books and books, and bring a few brothers and sisters. In three days, we will move our family."

The older young man immediately received the order: "Abide by my father's order."

He bowed and bowed again, then pulled his two younger brothers and prepared to leave, but the youngest boy seemed to ask Sima Fang.

"Father, the child has something unknown, so I'll ask my father for advice."

Sima Fang was stunned. He was so busy that he had no time to take care of this matter. When he was about to refuse, he saw the eyes of his third son Sima Fu and thought of his family, he always attached great importance to the education of his younger generations, so he could not express the words of rejection at the end of his mouth.

"What are the questions about Fu'er?"

Sima Fu asked: "I know that this time the court issued a new policy and carried out tax reform. Although the land and property of our Sima family is not as good as that of the Yang family of Hongnong and Xun family of Yingchuan, it has exceeded 4,000 acres of paddy fields. Since the new policy was promulgated, my father and second uncle have sold their property everywhere. The child dared to guess that his father was interested in seeking refuge in Cao Cao, Yuzhou?"

Sima Fu's face darkened and said with a somewhat scolding tone: "This is a family matter, and it is not something you and other children can argue. The so-called elders and young people are orderly, and the father's fate is like heaven, so there is no need to ask too much."

Sima Lang also helped his father persuade the younger brother: "Yes, third brother, this is the decision of my father and second uncle. You and I are juniors, you and I just need to act according to your fate. How can you suspect the elders?"

Sima Fu shook his head: "The sage says, the king, the king, the teacher, and the ruler, the ruler, the ruler, the king, the teacher, and the ruler. Before the king was still with his parents, his father's actions were like rebellious. The child dared not do unfaithful things because of his foolish and filial piety."

"Rareless." Sima Fang scolded angrily.

Sima Lang also taught his third brother a lesson: "My father was promoted to Jingzhao Yin from Luoyang Order, which was done by the emperor who is now in Yuzhou. Naturally, our Sima family should respect the emperor of Yuzhou as the orthodox Han Dynasty. Today, my son issued an edict to seek talent and his father was summoned to go there, which was a great loyal act."

"But..." Sima Fu tilted his head, still a little dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Sima Lang hurriedly pulled his second brother Sima Yi beside him, winked at him, and wanted him to help persuade him. After all, Sima Yi and Sima Fu were only one year apart, and they were closest to each other on weekdays. They were much closer to each other than his elder brother, who was eight or nine years older.

Sima Yi turned his eyes around and said, "The child thought that the so-called loyalty to the emperor is certainly a great deal of human nature. However, the rise and fall of the family is not based on the word "loyalty" to complete his achievements."

As soon as these words came out, the few people present were a little surprised.

Sima Fang asked, "In your opinion, what should I do if my Sima family wants to prosper?"

Sima Yi said without hesitation: "Only his own strength is the foundation for survival and even growth in this chaotic world. Who should respect orthodox and which lord rely on is just the last step."

"Nee..." Sima Fang was surprised and looked at his son, his eyes full of shock.

"Our own strength...but our Sima family is neither a prince nor a prince, nor ambition to become a prince and compete for the world."

Sima Yi said: "The strength of a family is not only reflected in becoming a prince. The stronger our own strength, even if we surrender to any lord, we will definitely be valued and preferential. But now, our Sima family, regardless of fame or status, is only a second-rate among the gentry in the world. Yang, Xun, Wang, Lu, Zhong and other major families are far better than me. In this situation, whether you surrender to Cao Cao or surrender to Luoyang, my father is at most a prefect, and he is unable to become a close minister around the lord. In this way, our Sima family will be in turmoil. If the world is peaceful, I will be at peace, and if the world is in chaos, I will be in chaos. Can you protect yourself? It depends entirely on your lord. Is it a way to survive in troubled times? "

"Well said it." The second uncle stroked his hands and praised.

"Brother, your second son is born smart and has an extraordinary shape. He will be better than you in the future."

Sima Fang nodded frequently when he heard this. Although he was a little shocked, he still deeply agreed in his heart.

"Well... it makes sense. So, according to your intention, is this Yuzhou awesome?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "No, the child also agrees with the actions of his father and his second uncle. Hedong cannot be kept. The emperor of Luoyang has many contempt for our scholars, and there are many top tribes in the court such as the Yang family, Xun family, and Wang family. Our tribe stayed here without any stretch. However, Yuzhou fought with the court and failed to win many times. It was the time when people were used. Moreover, there were few great clans under Cao Cao's command. If we take advantage of our tribe, we will definitely be valued."

"Second brother, why are you..." Sima Fu looked at Sima Yi with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Fu'er can't make trouble anymore. This matter has been decided. Three days later, the whole family will go to Yuzhou and there will be no delays."
