Sima Zhao's heart, the historical style of the post-Three Kingdoms era
The well-known "Heart of Sima Zhao" originated from the satirical satire of the Sima clan by the Wei Emperor Cao Chao, an event that not only accelerated the decline of Wei and the arrival of the Western Jin Dynasty, but also became an important clue for the study of the history of the Later Three Kingdoms.
As a key figure in promoting the iteration of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Sima Zhao's life and the power struggle between the Sima family and Cao Wei all reveal the face of history for us.
Sima Zhao was born in 211 AD, which was a critical period in the transformation of the Han Dynasty into the Three Kingdoms. His father, Sima Yi, was a key figure in the establishment of Cao Wei and was deeply trusted by Cao Cao and Cao Pi.
After Cao Pi's death, he became an important minister of the Wei state, making the Sima family's power dominant in the imperial court. Sima Zhao's political concept was deeply influenced by his father, and in the process of reaching the pinnacle of power, he won many military exploits, not only inherited his father's business, but also his ability to command the army should not be underestimated, and he was appointed as commander by Emperor Wei many times.
However, after the deaths of Sima Yi and Sima Shi, he became the leader of the Sima family's struggle for power with Cao Wei. During this period, Sima Zhao was so powerful that he could even wear a sword to the palace, and he was not named.
However, the young Wei Emperor Cao Chao, alarmed by the usurpation history of the Sima family, decided to take the initiative and depose Sima Zhao. When contacting the minister, he famously said "Sima Zhao's heart, known to passers-by".
However, Cao Chao was betrayed by his courtiers and killed in the car of the Son of Heaven, and he didn't even have a chance to see Sima Zhao, and the seizure of power was declared a failure.
The struggle between Sima and Cao Wei continued throughout the post-Three Kingdoms era. Cao Chao's death undoubtedly accelerated the process of Cao Wei's demise, and also marked the final realization of the Sima family's "stealing government".
Although Sima Zhao was unable to complete this step himself, his son achieved it for him. Less than a year after Sima Zhao's death, his son Sima Yan became emperor of Wei and established the Western Jin Dynasty.
Soon after, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Wu Dynasty, officially ending the disputes of the Three Kingdoms period.
The disputes of the Three Kingdoms period gradually subsided, and it turned to the post-Three Kingdoms period during the Wei and Jin dynasties, which was mainly characterized by power schemes. The example of the Sima family from a minister to a thief of government and power fully reflects this point.
However, this does not mean that the post-Three Kingdoms era was only an internal affair of Cao Wei and did not focus on military affairs. In fact, the war in this period was equally fierce, and the competition between Wei, Shu and Wu in the early and late Western Jin Dynasty reached a white-hot stage, and the scale of the war was often a war to destroy the country.
These wars have fought several well-known battles in history that have rewritten the pattern of the world, showing the magnificence of their battlefields.
In the new anniversary version of "The Shore of the Land" [Unbounded], you can experience the classic battle of the late Three Kingdoms - Wei Annihilation of Shu. In this war that opened the prelude to the unification of the Three Kingdoms in history, Sima Zhao, as the actual leader, led Zhong Hui and Deng Ai to face the Shu general Jiang Wei.
The terrain of the Shudi Sword Pavilion is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the two sides are in a stalemate. The Wei army had to find another way and attack Fucheng to bring a turnaround to the battle. The use of troops and the ingenuity of strategy in this battle are no less than the classic battles during the dispute between Wei, Shu and Wu.
In the game, you can command elite soldiers, feel the excitement of the battlefield in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, and witness the process of the "Jin" faction from germination to birth. We also remade the Wei Shu and Wu generals, such as Zhuge Ke (Wu), Jiang Wei (Shu), and Deng Ai (Wei), to better fit the historical image of the post-Three Kingdoms period.
Shore of the Land is a high-profile geo-strategy game with a meticulous 3D sandbox map, one of the highlights of which is the creation of generals who are highly historically relevant.
In the latest "Jin" faction, military generals include people involved in key events in relevant periods of history. For example, Sima Shi, as the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty, appeared as a black-bellied strategist, which is highly consistent with the image of the three thousand dead soldiers raised in history.
As the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, the terminator of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, was dressed in the gorgeous costume of the Son of Heaven, and the red color in the dragon robe also corresponds to the historical fact that the Western Jin Dynasty "is red as precious".
