Chapter 524 – Sima Yi's Struggle (1)
Early June, 201 AD.
Traveled from You Province of Sima Clan, Sima Yi, Sima Lang, Sima Fu, 50,000 policemen, and 100,000 mercenaries arrived at Xu Province, where Cao Cao used to reside.
Sima Lang was Sima Yi's elder brother while Sima Fu was Sima Yi's younger brother These three brothers were the only ones who had the influence in Ji and Beiping Commandery. They secretly trained 100,000 men and disguised them as mercenaries to keep the royal clan in check by the order of Sima Fang.
The Sima household had this privilege since Tong had authorized them to do so since the beginning of their services, compensating for Tong's past offense of killing Sima Xin.
However, this army became Sima Yi's assets after Sima Fang's passing, which threatened Dong Bai and her authority.
