Bing State, Xu Yang Mansion.
Quite a few people know about Xu Yang in Bing State, and it's not because of its vast territory or abundant resources, but because this is the place where the Sima family originated.
When the Great Chu Dynasty was still in power, Xu Yang, Sima clan was known throughout the world, being the head of the Five Great Families back then. Not only were they powerful, but they also held significant influence in the court.
They were a colossal entity straddling both the court and Jianghu, and it was precisely because of their deep foundation that the Sima family could quickly take control of the court.
However, after the Sima clan became royalty and relocated to Central State, the foundation of Xu Yang Mansion gradually declined. As far as he knows, even now, there are many people with the surname Sima in Xu Yang Mansion.
But they are mainly from distant branches, only able to receive some royal rewards to commemorate the ancestral land.
