After meeting his mother, Sima Lun no longer had nostalgia. He rushed westward and walked over and over, and soon arrived in Tianshui.

In order to prevent the invasion of Shu Kingdom, while strengthening the defense on the eastern front, Sima Zhao ordered the Grand Marshal Guo Huai to station troops in Longyou, and the Crown Prince Sima Yan was the military supervisor, and the King of Qi Sima You was the military supervisor, and cooperated with Guo Huai to guard Tianshui.

Sima Zhao's arrangement made people feel strange. The prince has always been the crown prince, which is the foundation of a country. Under normal circumstances, the prince is the governor of the country, not the local military supervision. Sima Zhao did not leave Sima Yan in Chang'an, but instead sent him to the remote Longxi. This action is somewhat incredible.

What is most confusing is that in addition to Sima Yan as the military supervisor, Sima Zhao also sent King Sima You of Qi as the deputy military supervisor. In fact, Sima You is only eleven years old now, and is obviously a child. Can he become a military supervisor?

Sima Zhao did not leave his two extremely important sons by his side, but instead sent him to the remote Longyou. No matter who wants to break his head, he can't think of the mystery.

It was not until Chang'an was broken and Sima Zhao burned himself and died, that everyone suddenly understood and lamented Sima Zhao's plan.

There was a peasant woman who had a few chickens at home. Every day when she was picking up eggs, the peasant woman would bring a few baskets to pick them up. The neighbor laughed at her, and she only had a few eggs and took a few baskets to pick them up. This was just a waste of time. As a result, one day, a basket was hit by a dog, and the eggs in the basket were broken, but because the other baskets were not damaged, the eggs in the basket survived.

Obviously, Sima Zhao also knew this fable. He entrusted Sima Yan and Sima You to Guo Huai, obviously not putting the eggs in the same basket. Now that Chang'an has fallen, Sima Zhao has also died. But it is precisely because of his foresight that Sima Yan and Sima You have been safe and sound so far.

Sima Zhao entrusted his two sons to Guo Huai, which was obviously carefully considered. Guo Huai was an old minister of their Sima family. When he was young, he followed Sima Yi to fight against Yongliang. He was loyal and always regarded as the caregiver of the Sima family's base camp. Although he is old now, he is still one of the few candidates that Sima Zhao can rely on.

Most of the military power of Jin State is in the hands of Sima Lun. However, there are considerable grievances between Sima Lun and Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao did not dare to entrust his two sons to Sima Lun. What's more, although Sima Lun's seniority is a little older, his real age is even younger than Sima Yan.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Sima Zhao entrusted Sima Yan and Sima You to Guo Huai. Of course, there were other considerations. After all, Longyou is even more in the rear than Chang'an. Even if Chang'an is lost, the Longyou area will be safe for the time being.

Now it seems that Sima Zhao's actions were indeed wise. After Chang'an fell, Sima Zhao and those who stayed in Chang'an were basically inseparable, but the two brothers Sima Yan and Sima You survived because they were sent to Tianshui in advance.

The news of the fall of Chang'an, Sima Zhao's death reached Tianshui. The two brothers Sima Yan and Sima You hugged their heads and cried and mourned. Sima Yan and Sima Youke were both born to Wang Yuanji.

For Sima Yan, even if she returned to Luoyang again, she had never had the chance to meet again until Wang Yuanji committed suicide, Sima Yan had never had the chance to meet her mother.

Sima You was even more miserable. He had depended on Wang Yuanji since he was a child and had no contact with people from the outside world. It was not until after Wang Yuanji's death that he was adopted by Sima Shi and became Sima Shi's stepson.

Sima Zhao felt particularly guilty because of Wang Yuanji's death, so he cherished the two children born to Wang Yuanji very much. Even though Sima You had already adopted Sima Shi, Sima Zhao still treated him like a parent-child.

After Sima Zhao became emperor, Sima Yan and Sima You were named the crown prince and the king of Qi. They had a great honor, but their fate was tragic. In just a hundred days, they fell from the peak to the bottom. Sima Zhao, who was the emperor, died of his country and died. After losing his mother, the two brothers lost their father again and became orphans. The fate is really a trick!

Guo Huai couldn't help but be sad. Others may not know Sima Zhao's intention to appoint Sima Yan and Sima You as chief and deputy generals. Only Guo Huai knew that Sima Zhao had handed over the important task of continuing the Sima family's incense to him. Guo Huai was deeply grateful to the Sima family, so he naturally would not let Sima Zhao down.

But Guo Huai was also in a difficult situation. After all, the power in his hands was extremely limited. Even Sima Zhao was not as good as the Wei army. Can he really protect the last bit of blood of the Sima family?

After the Wei army captured Chang'an, it would quickly march towards Longyou and Liangzhou. This place had become the last territory of Jin. If they could not even keep it here, then the world would be so great that they would have no place to stay.

Guo Huai spent most of his life in Yongliang. From the initial battle with Zhuge Liang and later fighting with Jiang Wei, Guo Zhun was always invincible and ensuring the safety of the Yongliang area. This is undoubtedly a place that makes him proud throughout his life.

But the current situation is different. Cao Liang advanced to Guanzhong with a sweeping force and took Chang'an, which made Guo Huai deeply feel a crisis.

When Guo Huai was in charge of Yongliang, the reason why he could be invincible was because he had the support of the court and the strong support of the Sima family. Now the court of Wei has been replaced and the Sima family has been destroyed. Now Guo Huai is alone, let alone dealing with Cao Liang's army. Even if Jiang Wei attacks at this moment, Guo Huai will feel powerless.

Just as Guo Huai was sighing and anxious, news suddenly came from Qishan that Jiang Wei led 50,000 Shu soldiers to Qishan, attacked Xixian, and once again went to Longxi.

Jiang Wei's sudden dispatch of troops was not beyond Guo Huai's expectations. Originally, Guo Huai was in Longxi to prevent Jiang Wei's attack, but at this moment, Jiang Wei's dispatch of troops brought great pressure to Guo Huai, so he could only add insult to injury to describe Guo Huai's current situation.

In order to ensure the security of the defense on the eastern front and the defense of Chang'an, most of the troops of Jin were placed on the eastern front. In the areas of Longyou and Liangzhou, Guo Huai could only control only 20,000 or 30,000 troops. When he fought with Jiang Wei in the past, Guo Huai could always rely on his military advantages to deal with him, which made Jiang Wei return repeatedly without success. But this time, Guo Huai didn't know how to resolve this crisis.
