The so-called "chaotic world to divide the family, the prosperous world to hold the group", in the chaotic world to prevent being a pot end, so many large families will be separated to protect themselves, the two great-grandchildren of the late Qin Dynasty Wang Zhai will separate the family to protect themselves, and finally the two founded the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Langya Wang clan respectively, affecting China's centuries of history, becoming a model of chaotic family separation, but when the prosperous world comes, peace and development become the mainstream, and the group will be more promising, so the big family often develops in the prosperous world.
We all know that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were both masters of the moment, but in the chaotic era of the late Han Dynasty, their choices were diametrically opposed. Zhuge Liang brothers three points, each for the Wei Shu Wu Three Kingdoms, historians called it "dragon tiger dog", now many people regard it as Zhuge Liang's chaotic family to protect themselves, while Sima Yi brothers a total of eight people, but did not separate one, all of them served the Cao Wei regime, historians called it "Sima Bada". So, why did the Zhuge Liang brothers divide three points, and the Sima Yi brothers huddle together, why did they choose so much in the storm of history?
Zhuge Liang was a native of Langya, Shandong, his father Zhuge Jue had worked as a servant of Taishan County, and Zhuge Shi was a member of the Langya Wang clan. According to the normal script, Zhuge Liang should have had a good childhood, but when Zhuge Liang was 3 years old, his mother Zhang Shi died, and his father Zhuge Jue died when he was 8 years old, so Zhuge Liang and his younger brother Zhuge Jun, who had no parents, lived with his uncle Zhuge Xuan, and his 16-year-old brother Zhuge Jin stayed in Langya.
At that time, Yuan Shu appointed Zhuge Xuan as the Taishou of Yuzhang (豫章太守, in modern Nanchang, Jiangxi), but soon after the Eastern Han Dynasty sent Zhu Hao to replace Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Xuan went to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao.
Therefore, before the Battle of Guandu, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin were in Jingzhou, Zhuge Jin was in Langya, and the "dog" in the "Dragon and Tiger Dog" and Zhuge Liang's cousin, Zhuge Liang (213-258), had not yet been born.
In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, breaking the balance of power and causing chaos in the Central Plains, because Langya was too far away from Jingzhou, it was difficult for Zhuge Jin to cross the long chaotic war area to Jingzhou to make peace with Zhuge Liang, so Zhuge Jin went south to avoid disaster, and later through the recommendation of Eastern Wu Hong, Zhuge Jin served Sun Quan. Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang were both in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou was relatively peaceful at that time, so the two brothers married and had children in Jingzhou, and later Zhuge Liang met liu Bei, the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and the two served Liu Bei. After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao unified the north, and Shandong Langya was located in Cao Tong District, and Zhuge Zhi naturally served Cao Wei when he grew up.
In the final analysis, it is not Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Birthday that are intentionally separated, but special historical reasons that lead to the three divisions of brothers, I believe it contains a lot of helplessness and sighs.
Unlike the Zhuge Liang brothers, the Sima clan had always been a member of the Wang clan in Wen County, Hanoi (present-day Wen County, Henan), and their ancestors had participated in the wars at the end of qin. After the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu enfeoffed the Eighteen Princes of the Eighteen Roads, one of whom was called Sima Wei, and at that time Xiang Yu divided the territory of the State of Wei into Western Wei and Yin, and Sima Wei was given the title of King of Yin and fiefed in Hanoi. During the Chu-Han struggle for supremacy, Sima Wei surrendered to Liu Bang and was later killed by Xiang Yu at the Battle of Pengcheng, but Sima Shi lived in Wen County, Hanoi for generations. During the Two Han Dynasties, the Sima clan became a local noble family and always had sons as officials, Sima Yi's father was Sima Fang's Eastern Han Dynasty Luoyang Ling and Jing Zhaoyin, his grandfather Sima Juan was the Taishou of Yingchuan Commandery (颍川郡, in present-day Yuzhou, Henan), his great-grandfather Sima Liang was the Eastern Han Yuzhang Taishou, and Sima Jun was the general of the Han Dynasty Zhengxi.
In the chaotic era of the late Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was initially only a small and medium-sized force, far from being comparable to Yuan Shao, but at that time, Sima Shi had already begun to invest in Cao Cao. In 193, Sikong Cao Cao recruited Sima Lang (Sima Yi's brother) as a subordinate of Sikong, and in 208 Sima Lang held positions such as the chief bookkeeper of The Chancellor, especially the official position of the Master Bookkeeper, the official in charge of the document must be a confidant in his heart, which shows Cao Cao's trust in Sima Lang or the degree of co-optation of Sima Lang. However, at first, in addition to Sima Lang, the other seven brothers, including Sima Yi, did not serve Cao Cao, and there may have been a wait-and-see speculative mentality at that time.
After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao quickly unified the north and became the strongest force at that time, and the Sima Yi family in Wen County did not have the opportunity to "split" and invest in other forces. Moreover, the Sima clan is not like the Zhuge clan, because of the objective reasons of the war, the brothers are helplessly scattered, located in Eastern Wu, Jingzhou, and Wei respectively, and if the Sima clan deliberately divides the family and sends people to the Eastern Wu or Shu kingdoms, then let's not say whether they can make a name for themselves in Shu Wu, let's say that Cao Cao can't pass this pass, it is estimated that in the future, not only will cao Cao's trust not be gained, but it will stimulate Cao Cao's anger, which is not worth the loss for Sima Shi.
In short, the Sima clan is a political family with great influence, often the object of political forces, there is no need to "protect themselves" by separating the family, and there is no objective situation in which the brothers are scattered everywhere because of the war, and the disloyal behavior of deliberately splitting the family and defecting to multiple forces will only make people disgusted.
It is worth saying that many people discuss why Cao Cao did not kill Sima Yi before he died, in fact, the reason is very simple, Sima Yi has deep roots, Sima Yi alone has eight brothers, and most of them are officials, Cao Cao wants to kill Sima Yi, it is estimated that he will get rid of the entire Sima clan, but this simply does not work. Therefore, hugging a group has the advantage of hugging a group, and when the strength is larger, it will be safer for itself.
Finally, let's talk about Zhuge Liang, when Zhuge Liang became the Minister of shu and flew yellow Tengda, why didn't Zhuge Jin of Eastern Wu and Zhuge Zhi of Wei come to him and let Zhuge Shi take root in the Shu Kingdom?
First of all, Zhuge Jin was highly valued in Eastern Wu and was deeply trusted by Sun Quan, known as "Divine Intercourse". After Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, Zhuge Jin served as a general and a protector of Zuo Du, led yu prefecture pastor, and was crowned marquis of Wanling. Zhuge Zhi's future in the Wei kingdom was also bright, and he was later promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng and Shangshu. Therefore, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Zhi had deep roots in Wu Wei, and for the sake of their own future, it was impossible to run to the Shu kingdom with an unknown future.
Secondly, Zhuge Liang served as a chancellor in the Shu Kingdom, but it did not mean that he could cover the sky with one hand, if Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Zhi defected to him and obtained a high position, it would inevitably make Liu Chan and others feel threatened, and even take some extreme actions because of this, which was more than worth the loss for Zhuge Shi.
Third, whether zhuge jin or zhuge birthday, they are not alone, there is a family behind zhuge birthday, especially behind Zhuge birthday there is also the Langya Zhuge clan, so it is impossible to abandon the family to join Zhuge Liang, nor is it difficult to take the family with zhuge liang. In addition, Eastern Wu and the Shu state were allies, and Zhuge Jin's defection to the Shu state would inevitably lead to turmoil in the shu-Wu relationship, which Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin did not want to see.
In short, in the chaotic world, many families will indeed choose to separate their families to "protect themselves" and not put their eggs in a basket, but the three zhuge brothers belong to Wei Shu wu, which is not deliberate, but caused by special historical reasons. Of course, the Zhuge Liang brothers inadvertently scored three points, but each created a legend, which is unique in Chinese history. However, I believe that if you can choose, it is estimated that Zhuge Shi will not choose the three points that contain a lot of helplessness and sighs, but will be like Sima Shi.
