Chapter 1006: Pick up the horse and give it another ride
Sima Yi did not follow Guo Huai's advice and went to Chang'an to recuperate, but briefly recuperated for a few days at Linjin Pass, then set off south to Tongguan, and then returned to Luoyang from Guanluo Road.
Guo Huai was extremely concerned about Sima Yi's injury, and specially transferred the most famous medical craftsman from Chang'an, and used the best and most valuable medicinal materials to recuperate Sima Yi.
But Sima Yi is like an arrow, and he doesn't seem to want to stay here longer, Guo Huai is also helpless, so he has to send him east, and let the doctor of Chang'an go with him, responsible for the condition on the way, after returning to Luoyang, there will naturally be the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat Sima Yi, and then the doctor can return.
Sima Yi was in a hurry to return to Luoyang, naturally there was something important to do, although he had announced in front of Guo Huai that he would hand over the authority to Sima Shi, but this was just a personal friendship, and Sima Yi also needed to return to Luoyang, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, to officially complete this handover.
After all, Sima Shi is still relatively young - in fact, this is what Sima Yi thinks, in fact, Sima Shi is forty-three years old this year, and he has long passed the age of not being confused, and he is even about to reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, which is really not young, but in the eyes of his parents, no matter how old his son is, he will not grow up - he has insufficient experience in leading the army to fight, and his ability to govern the country is also lacking, so he needs to help him get on the horse and send him off again.
Sima Yi was not very relieved about Sima Shi, although he was already the best among the sons, there was still a considerable gap between Sima Yi's requirements.
If Sima Yi is like pacifying Wang Ling Linghu foolish, and eradicating all the hostile forces of his Sima family, Sima Yi can rest assured that the great cause will be in the hands of Sima Shi, but Cao Liang's birth has become an obstacle to his Sima family's world, and this battle of merging states is enough to prove that Cao Liang is definitely a strong enemy that can threaten the life and death of the Sima family.
It's a pity that Cao Liang is in the prime of life, he is a few years younger than Sima Shi, but Sima Yi is an old man, and he is about to die, and if he fights for age, he has no advantage at all.
Although it is said that the Cao family does not live much, Cao Pi died at the age of forty, and his son Cao Rong is even more short-lived, only living thirty-six years to accompany the ancestors of the Cao family under the nine springs, Sima Yi is using his lifeline that is much longer than others, and he has left three generations of the Cao family behind, so as to have a chance to climb to the peak of power.
But climbing to the top does not mean that he can have the last laugh, because when standing at the peak of power, Sima Yi has to face countless enemies, some enemies are not a threat to him, but some enemies make him sleepless at night, and he can't eat well.
With Sima Shi's ability, it is indeed a little difficult to deal with Cao Liang, and Sima Yi clearly understands this, so this is also the biggest worry in his heart.
On the one hand, it can also familiarize Sima Shi with the ruling environment and show his ability to govern the army, and at the same time, Sima Yi can clearly see his strengths and weaknesses, and can help him learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and truly become the mainstay of the Sima family.
Although the casualties of the Sima army were very large, this kind of battle was actually the most difficult to fight when the cavalry troops were completely annihilated and only the infantry team remained, even if Sima Yi was personally in command, it may not be as good as Sima Shi.
A total of 50,000 or 60,000 troops completed the crossing of the river and fled victoriously from Hedong to Yongzhou, and nearly half of the soldiers were able to save their lives.
This undoubtedly shows Sima Shi's growth over the years, you must know that in the past, Sima Yi took him out on the expedition, mostly playing side drums, ordering strategies, and doing some errands to convey, but this time it was different, after Sima Yi was injured, it was Sima Shi who provoked the beam, and when the whole army was in danger of life and death, he took this army out of the predicament.
It is precisely because Sima Yi appreciates Sima Shi's performance that Sima Yi took the initiative to hand over power.
It is a top priority that the power of the Sima family can complete a smooth handover.
After leaving Tongguan, along this Hanguan Avenue that Sima Yi is most familiar with, he walked slowly all the way, and it was far away from the battlefield of Bingzhou, so Sima Yi naturally didn't have to worry about anything.
What he is riding now is a carriage arranged by Guo Huai, and the luxury inside and outside the carriage is enough to be breathtaking, of course, the luxury of appearance is not important, Sima Yi now needs a comfortable carriage for him to recuperate, so as to avoid the bumps of a long march.
Sima Shi would board the carriage every morning and evening to greet Sima Yi, and it could be seen that the medical skills that Guo Huai found for Sima Yi were indeed more skillful, and under his conditioning, Sima Yi's complexion had greatly improved, and a little ruddy color appeared on his pale face, which made Sima Shi very happy.
Now Sima Yi's health is the most concerned thing for Sima Shi, they have traveled all the way east, and they have passed the old Hangu Pass, which is not far from Luoyang City.
"Father, there is Gucheng in front, and it is only a day's journey from Luoyang." The feeling of being close to home is more timid, Sima Shi is inevitably a little excited, maybe this is the feeling of going home, especially after experiencing that kind of life and death, this feeling of going home is even more precious.
Sima Yi had a calm face, there seemed to be a trace of emptiness in his blank eyes, and he was completely like a stagnant heart, even if he was about to go home, it was difficult to make Sima Yi excited.
"Oh, it's almost to Luoyang? It's a pity that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be buried in the land of Bingzhou from now on, and their fathers are incompetent, and even their bones have no chance to be brought back to their homeland. Sima Yi sighed gloomily, and there was a lot of self-blame in his words.
In fact, many people have been wandering all their lives, thinking that they can be buried in their homeland after death, but the soldiers who died in the battle of Merge State have no chance to bring the corpses back to their homeland, so they can only die in a foreign land.
