Sima Fu

Sima Fu ( Chinese  司馬 孚  /  司马 孚 , Pinyin Sīmǎ Fū , * 180 ; † 272 ) was a politician of the late Han Dynasty , the Wei Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty .

Sima Fu was the younger brother of Sima Yi and served with him in the Wei empire. It is said that even without his brother's extraordinary ability, he was taught, able, and generous. Because he was very talented in literature, a close relationship with Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi is suspected, who was an important poet of his time.

After the death of Sima Yi (251), Sima Fu served his nephews Sima Shi and Sima Zhao . Despite his old age, he led the forces of Wei into battle against the southern rivals Shu and Wu and made a decisive contribution to repelling their attacks.

When the Jin dynasty was founded by Sima Yan , the new emperor also offered his great-uncle Sima Fu high titles and a lot of land, but Sima Fu refused, saying, "I am and will remain a servant of Wei." In old age He campaigned for the 260 overthrown Wei emperor Cao Mao to receive an appropriate burial.

Sima Fu had nine sons: Sima Yong (司馬 邕), Sima Wang (司馬 望), Sima Fu (司馬 輔), Sima Yi (司馬 翼), Sima Huang (司馬 晃), Sima Gui (司馬 瓌), Sima Gui (司馬 珪), Sima Heng (司馬 衡) and Sima Jing (司馬 景). He survived the second oldest by a whole year.
