Sima Rui was captured and escaped and became the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty

In 304, in the Battle of Dangyin, Sima Ying won a great victory, and Emperor Hui of Jin and a group of his retinue were taken captive to Yecheng in a vacuum of dust. Sima Ying stood on the Tongque Platform and watched a large number of civilian and military generals creeping at his feet. Ask the vast earth, who is the Lord of the ups and downs?

He didn't care, there was a small figure among them, with his head bowed and obedient, unremarkable among the many captives. But more than 10 years later, he became a dazzling superstar, occupying half of the country and the first generation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he was Sima Rui.

Sima Rui did not have an advantage

Sima Rui, born in Luoyang, was made the son of Sima Yi and was made the King of Langya (琅琊, in present-day southeastern Shandong). When the Six Roads Army of the Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, Sima Ling served as the commander of the eastern branch. After Ping wu, because of his great merits, he was given some positions such as serving as a lieutenant, a general, a kaifu Yi tongsan division, and a military governor of Qingzhou. They belong to the cadres at the national level and have a prominent position. Sima Rui's father was named Sima Xiao (司馬觐), the eldest son of Sima Ling (司馬伷), the Evil King of Lang. Although his status is also very high, he has done nothing in his life.

In 290, when Sima Rui was 15 years old, his father died, and he attacked the Prince of Langya as usual. In the same year, Sima Yan died and Sima Zheng succeeded to the throne. Empress Jia Nanfeng was born out of nowhere, and after reading the spring colors of the world, it stirred up the cold of Zhou Tian.

When the princes of the Sima clan killed each other, the whole country was in chaos. Just as the ice and snow melt in the summer, the rivers overflow and the floods are gushing. Sima Rui belonged to the relatively distant among the royal family, and his father was mediocre in the "princelings", and he had no advantage in "fighting fathers". There is no military power in the hands, and the waist pole cannot stand up.

Since you can't swim in the sea like a whale, you can only hide in the corner like a shrimp turtle. In order to escape the scourge of killing, although the outside world is big, Sima Rui will never look at it. Try not to hear anything out of the window and commute to work on time every day. Therefore, when the king of the Sima clan was killed in a line, he did not have a trace of blood on his body, and he waved his sleeve and was very clean.

Sima Rui originally thought that he would live peacefully all his life. However, he did not expect that there was a neighbor who completely changed his life, making him break free of his arms, fly higher, and dance like a fierce wind. That is Sima Yue.

Sima Yue was the grandson of Sima Yi's younger brother, and was enfeoffed in the Donghai Kingdom (東海国, in present-day Tancheng, Shandong), and Sima Rui's fiefs belonged to Xuzhou at that time (corresponding to the area north of the Yangtze River in present-day Jiangsu and southern Shandong, not the present-day Xuzhou). Sima Yue has lofty ambitions, naturally he also has to find trustworthy people to invest and cooperate, the neighborhood is good, Sai Jinbao, Sima Rui has become his goal.

Sima Rui was captured and escaped

During the conquest of Sima Ying, Sima Rui was also pulled into the army by Sima Yue and appointed as a general of the left, at the age of 29. Sima Yue fled back to the feudal state of Donghai after the defeat of Tangyin. However, he did a very unauthentic way, only trying to escape, forgetting the emperor and his friends. Not only was Emperor Hui of Jin plundered by Sima Ying to Yecheng, but Sima Rui was also captured.

Arriving at Yecheng, Sima Rui lived the life of a prisoner and was in a state of panic. Fortunately, his fame was so small that no one noticed him. He had an uncle named Sima Xuan, who became more famous and was killed by Sima Ying. Sima Rui was even more nightmare-ridden, he had dodged the first day, he couldn't hide from the fifteenth, sooner or later he would be killed, so it was better to escape. Due to the fact that there were many troops in Yecheng, and the management had not yet kept up, Sima Rui successfully escaped from prison in the confusion and secretly escaped from the city.

Sima Ying knew that it was not terrible for the displaced people to be leaderless, and only the royal family of Sima Clan had the appeal. Therefore, he ordered that all passes and ferries should not be allowed to pass through the nobles, and they were strictly guarded. Sima Rui did not dare to show off, dressed in plain clothes, cautiously, and pretended to be an ordinary farmer.

When they reached the Yellow River crossing, the soldiers guarding the crossing interrogated one by one. Although no contraband was found in Sima Rui's luggage, his extraordinary demeanor still aroused suspicion, maybe he was a wanted criminal? The soldiers stopped him, refused to cross the river, and reported to the leader. Sima Rui's entourage Song Dian saw that the situation was extremely urgent, and in a hurry, he took the horse whip and drew it to Sima Rui's body, laughing and saying: The government forbids nobles, and you, the little official who watches the house, have also been detained.

Guarding the ferry, he felt that he was too nervous. Wave your hand, let's go, let's go. Sima Rui broke out in a cold sweat and hurried away with his head bowed. It was really a flying phoenix that broke through the cage and opened the iron lock to walk away from the dragon. This soldier had a small thought, but he did not expect to rewrite the whole history. A butterfly wing occasionally vibrates, causing a tornado years later.

Sima Rui began to grasp military power

Sima Rui fled to Luoyang, immediately took his family out, and ran to Langya. Sima Yue had also arrived at the fengguo at this time and saw Sima Rui escape from death. He didn't blush, didn't beat, and didn't apologize to him. Sima Rui did not dare to ask for an explanation, and still greeted him politely. The brothers are in the midst of the robbery, and they meet each other and laugh and take revenge.

Sima Rui wanted to be a little more stable, but Sima Yue was trying to get back on his feet, secretly accumulating strength and trying to make a comeback. Soon, Sima Yue saw that Luoyang was once again in chaos, so he raised an army to xia Pi (Suining County, Jiangsu Province) and went all the way west to fight a decisive battle in the Central Plains. In order to stabilize the rear, Sima Rui was ordered to guard Xia Pi and command the Xuzhou military.

The first time Sima Rui became a feudal official, he touched the barrel of a gun, which was the beginning of his real political stage. Later, Sima Yue defeated all the other princes, laughed to the end, and took charge of the Western Jin Dynasty. He also sent the kings of the clan out of the town of Xiangyang, Yecheng and several other important towns. Sima Rui was sent to the town to guard the southern part of Yangzhou, which is today's Jiangnan, and from then on, a new dynasty rose from the dark clouds.

When Sima Rui stayed behind in Xia Pi, he had an important adviser who was with him all his life, inseparable, and was also the founding hero of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The fifth star supporting role appeared, that is, another future superstar, Wang Dao.
