Just after arriving in Chang'an, Master Sima announced in the form of an edict from the Emperor that he would be transferred to the position of Grand Master, and that the position of General would be taken over by Sima Lun.

Although the Grand Master was ranked above the Three Dukes, alongside the Grand Tutor and the Young Master, everyone knew clearly that Master Sima had handed over the power of the army and horses, and moved the power of the Wei court westward to Chang'an.

It fell into the hands of Sima Lun.

The Grand Master, Taifu and Shaofu above the Three Dukes are more of an honorary position, with a superior position but a light duty, which is very suitable for old age care. At that time, Sima Yi was excluded by Cao Shuang and promoted to Taifu, and was deprived of everything.

Sima Yi kept a low profile and finally launched the Gaoping Ling Incident and killed Cao Shuang. However, Sima Yi continued to act as a Taifu until his death.

Precisely because Sima Yi has been the Taifu for a long time, when it was Sima Shi's turn, he did not choose to be the Taifu, but became the Grand Master. This is considered a taboo. After all, Sima Taifu has long been referring to Sima Yi.

Now that another Master Sima has appeared, it is easy for people to have ambiguities. Master Sima feels that it is also disrespectful to his late father.

As for handing over power, this was entirely within Sima Shi's plan. Since Sima Shi became blind, even if he could still handle government affairs, he seemed to be unable to do so. After all, Sima Shi could not see with his eyes and could only listen to people who were close to him.

To paraphrase, many times, Master Sima himself was upset and depressed.

What's more, Sima Shi was extremely disappointed with himself. Ever since he took over the power from Sima Yi, the power of the Sima family has been declining day by day. Youzhou has been lost, Jizhou has been lost, and a large amount of territory has been lost to Cao Liang.

It was eaten away. In the end, even the Yellow River defense line that Sima Shi had worked so hard to manage was broken through by Cao Liang. Then it collapsed thousands of miles. Yanqing, Yu, Xu Yangjing, and six states were all lost. In the end, even Luoyang was defeated.

He was forced to give up voluntarily. With such a record, Sima Shi himself felt ashamed of Sima Yi, who was under Jiuquan.

I think back then, when Sima Yi was dying, he placed all his hopes on him, hoping that he could carry forward the Sima family's great cause, take a step further, and truly ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, so that Sima family's

Descendants will enjoy the power of this world forever.

At that time, Master Sima was also ambitious and arrogant. He thought that with his talent, he would be able to build the Sima family's Huanghuang Building on the foundation laid by Sima Yi. Master Sima even imagined that Sima Yi had been fighting for it all his life.

But the crown he had no chance to wear could be worn on top of his head.

However, no matter how full the ideal is, it is no match for the reality. Over the past few years, Sima Shi lost his city and territory, and was defeated again and again. The country and country that Sima Yi had worked so hard to conquer were now in the hands of Sima Shi.

Little by little, Cao Liang was squandered and wasted like a maggot attached to his bones, constantly eating away at Sima Shi's territory and devouring Sima Shi's hopes step by step.

The loss of the Yellow River defense line caused Sima Shi's mentality to collapse. He was blind and had no chance to make a comeback. Sima Shi began to worry about his successor, whether it was Sima Lun, Sima Yi's designated successor, or he

The adopted son, Sima You, is too young to take on big responsibilities.

As for the remaining younger brothers, Sima Zhao is narrow-minded and impatient, and his abilities are still below his own. If Master Sima passes the throne to him, Master Sima himself will not be worried about it. Others such as Sima Qian, Sima Min,

Sima Liang's ability was even inferior to that of Sima Zhao. At such a critical moment, handing over power to them would be like a moth flying into a flame, causing one's own destruction.

Therefore, Master Sima had long wanted to abdicate, but he had been suffering from the lack of suitable candidates, so he could only maintain it by himself. However, the result of maintaining it was that he lost his army and lost ground. He was defeated again and again, and even himself was a little doubtful.

life.

If this continues, the Sima family will be doomed sooner or later!

Just when Master Sima was in despair, Sima Lun's emergence was like a ray of light that broke through the gloom in Master Sima's heart.

It is true that Sima Lun is naturally intelligent, but after all, he is only a teenager. A teenager's hair has not even grown, and he has never experienced on the battlefield. How could Master Sima make such a rotten person?

Leave this mess to him?

However, the arrival of Sima Lun still brought some surprises to Sima Division. His plan to sneak attack Bingzhou with the help of the Huns Liu Yuan can be called a model of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. Although it was impossible to cause much harm to Cao Liang, it won the Sima army

Many times, especially when Zhuge Dan's Huainan rebellion was being attacked from both sides, this tactic was used to contain Cao Liang and delay the defeat of the Sima army.

Later, Sima Lun had an even more amazing performance, that is, he put down Zhuge Dan's rebellion in one fell swoop. You must know that this was the first time in his life that Sima Lun led an army alone in combat, but his performance exceeded everyone's imagination.

, even veteran generals like Zhuge Dan were no match. He beat him to pieces, and Sima Lun quickly put down the rebellion in Zhunnan.

After this battle, everyone looked at Sima Lun with admiration. Sima Shi was even more excited. It seemed that his long-awaited successor was always by his side. From then on, Sima Shilian had the idea of ​​taking over the power.

Leave it to Sima Lun for your thoughts.

Before he had time to implement this, Cao Liang broke through the Yellow River defense line that Sima Shi had worked so hard to manage with thunderous momentum. The entire battle situation took a turn for the worse and the situation became out of control.

Sima Division fled wildly, dug a dyke of the Yellow River in Suanzao and used water to replace the troops and flooded the two states of Yan and Henan. This blocked the pursuit of the Bingzhou Army and gave him a chance to breathe.

Although Luoyang was out of danger, Yanqing and Hexu to the east of the Huangfan District became a lamb to be slaughtered and allowed to be trampled by the Bingzhou Army.

At this time, Sima Lun once again showed his extraordinary wisdom. He sent troops to the east of Henan and fought a beautiful ambush in Kuxian County, annihilating tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops in one fell swoop. Such a victory can be said to be almost the best in several years.

Unprecedentedly, Sima Shi and Cao Liang fought against each other and kept losing battles, and the entire battle situation also showed a one-sided situation.

Sima Lun bucked the trend and won a great victory. Although it was not enough to turn the tide of the war, it greatly boosted the sagging morale of the Sima army.

Then, Sima Lun decisively abandoned Huainan, traveled thousands of miles, and successfully brought the 100,000 troops back to Luoyang, thus preserving the strength of Sima's army to the maximum extent.
