Chapter 1705 leave
Shortly after Sima Lun returned to the camp, Guo Huai had already sent someone over. Sima Lun thought that Guo Huai would be struggling for a long time, but unexpectedly, Guo Huai had already made a decision after turning around. Sima Lun immediately sent people to the big tent to ask for his purpose.
Guo Huai sent people to express his meaning in a complete manner. He fought a lifelong battle with Shu Kingdom. As his old age approached, he wanted to surrender to Shu Kingdom. This was something he could never do. He could not let his later generations lose his integrity and let later generations kill his backbone. Therefore, Guo Huai begged Sima Lun to allow him to take Sima Yan and Sima You to leave Ji County, and go to Liangzhou, and hand over the land of Longxi to Sima Lun. From then on, the wells and waters of both sides did not violate the rivers.
If Sima Lun and Jiang Wei refused to agree, then he would continue to fight to the end, and survive and die with Ji County.
This was Guo Huai's final decision. Obviously, Guo Huai also knew that Sima Lun was thinking about Ji County, not the more than 10,000 defenders in Ji County, but a large amount of food and grass collected in the town of Ji County. Now Sima Lun is not short of soldiers, but food and grass. So Guo Huai's last sentence of survival and death is a bit of threatening Sima Lun. If you don't let me go, I will fight to the end. Even when the city is broken, Guo Huai will have the opportunity to burn the food and grass in the city.
Now the food and grass in Ji County can be said to be Simalun's lifeblood. If you don't get this batch of food and grass, Simalun will not be able to survive this winter, and the army of 100,000 will inevitably collapse.
So Sima Lun just pondered for a moment and agreed to Guo Huai's request. To be honest, Sima Lun would not choose to start a war with Guo Huai until he had no choice. Guo Huai is an old minister of their Sima family and has always been loyal to the Sima family. Even if Sima Zhao was dead, Guo Huai still did not forget to entrust his orphan.
The brothers' fencing within their Sima family made Guo Huai face the problem of difficulty in taking sides. It seems difficult to make a decision on who is loyal to the Sima family.
However, Guo Huai also has his own principle, that is, he would rather escape than surrender to Shu. Shu was the enemy he had fought for the rest of his life, but Lin Lao wanted to surrender to Shu. Emotionally, this is a very difficult thing to accept.
Although Sima Lun also hopes that Guo Huai can stay and help him deal with Cao Liang, after all, no one on this land is more familiar with Guo Huai? But everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it. Sima Lun agreed to his request.
But one thing must be clear? That is, the people of Guo Huai can leave, but the accumulated food and grass must be kept? There is no room for negotiation.
Finally, Sima Lun wrote another letter to Guo Huai. He expressed his gratitude for his loyalty to Sima family for many years. At the same time, he also hoped that after Guo Huai arrived in Liangzhou, both sides could also help each other, instead of not interacting with each other until they die.
After all, looking at the world, only Cao Liang is the enemy of all of them. If they fight each other, they can only be gradually eroded by Cao Liang and defeated each one.
Guo Huai was extremely sad when he read Sima Lun's letter. To be honest, when Sima Shi passed the throne to Sima Lun, Guo Huai also sincerely supported it. He hoped that Sima Lun's intelligence and talent could save the crisis? Carry forward the Sima family's great cause.
But a Sima Zhao suddenly broke out in the middle of the game, and played the game without following the rules, which suddenly turned the situation in Guanzhong. As a result, it was also turned upside down. Sima Zhao finally lost the only remaining wealth of the Sima family.
It is naturally something Guo Huai didn't want to see as an enemy of Sima Lun. He was loyal to the Sima family all his life, so how could he fight with Sima Yi's designated heir?
If Sima Lun had not surrendered to Shu Kingdom now, Guo Huai would have been willing to be driven by Sima Lun and died after death. But what Guo Huai could most accept was to surrender to Shu Kingdom. Perhaps other people had no experience. They regarded Cao Liang as the number one enemy, but Guo Huai had never fought with Cao Liang. His lifelong opponents were from Shu, so he would rather die than surrender to Shu.
Fleeing to Liangzhou is probably a forced choice for Guo Huai. Since Sima Lun has agreed, Guo Huai is ready to set off immediately, fearing that there will be more dreams.
Although he also knew that Sima Lun spoke in words and would not regret it since he agreed, after all, there was Jiang Wei behind Sima Lun. If Jiang Wei disagreed, he would still not be able to leave.
When Guo Huai sent the order, all the troops packed their luggage immediately, each of which only brought rations for ten days. All the remaining food and grass were sealed in the treasury, and no grain was allowed to be moved lightly. All the food and grass were left to Sima Lun.
Guo Huai knew that Sima Lun came for this batch of food and grass. Sima Lun did not make things difficult for him. He gave him the opportunity to leave on his own. He could repay his kindness and fulfill his righteousness. Although the main ministers could not be together forever, it was a good time to get together.
After completing the delivery with the people sent by Sima Lun, Guo Huai led his army to leave Ji County and headed towards Liangzhou.
After the Shu army's probation officer learned the news, he reported it to Jiang Wei. After hearing this, the generals were very excited and were ready to ask Jiang Wei for his orders and asked him to pursue him.
Guo Huai is the number one enemy of the Shu army. Over the years, I don’t know how many Shu army soldiers have died at his hands. They are full of blood debts. The generals of the Shu army want to kill them quickly.
But if Guo Huai surrendered, they really couldn't deal with him. Now Guo Huai refused to surrender and fled to the city. Naturally, the generals of the Shu army were not ready to let him go easily.
But Jiang Wei waved his hand gently. Because of the Ji County matter, he and Sima Lun had an agreement, that is, to leave the full power to Sima Lun for handling, and Jiang Wei will no longer interfere. It is obvious that Guo Huai's departure was instructed by Sima Lun. If Sima Lun disagreed, Guo Huai would not be able to fly. If Sima Lun agrees, it would be out of place for Jiang Wei to send someone to pursue him again.
Although Jiang Wei hated Guo Huai to the core, he still needed to respect Sima Lun's decision from the overall situation. After all, he had an appointment with Sima Lun first. If the contract was breached, Sima Lun would inevitably be in a grudge.
After Sima Lun surrendered, although the strength of the Shu army soared, Sima Lun's troops were far more powerful than that of the Shu army, and he also felt that he could not lose his tail.
Therefore, Jiang Wei ordered that Guo Huai would be allowed to leave, and the generals would not be allowed to pursue him. Although the generals were dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey Jiang Wei's military orders. They could only watch Guo Huai lead the Yongzhou army away.
