As the eldest grandson of the Sima family, Sima Yan was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He has lived in a gentle and prosperous country with rich clothes and food since he was a child. Although he was familiar with military and military strategies according to the tradition of the Sima family, he had never been to the battlefield or experienced war.

Sima Zhao became emperor, and Sima Yan became the crown prince without surprise and became the crown prince who was highly regarded by thousands of people.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sima Yan will naturally inherit the throne and become the second emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

It’s a pity that the destiny of heaven was not blessed. The Great Jin Dynasty established by Sima Zhao was declared destroyed in just a hundred days, becoming the shortest-lived dynasty in history. Even Wang Mang and Gengshi, who were at the junction of the Han Dynasty, were not as good as Wang Mang and Gengshi.

Perhaps Sima Zhao felt that he was not confident enough. Shortly after ascending the throne, Sima Zhao sent his two sons Sima Yan and Sima You to Longxi and entrusted them to Guo Huai, who was nominally serving as the military supervisor of Longxi, but in fact, Sima Zhao secretly prepared for his bloodline to continue.

Before leaving, Sima Yan and Sima You received the instructions from Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao had issued a secret order to Guo Huai. If he had any surprises in Chang'an, he would ask Guo Huai to support the crown prince to ascend the throne to Jin. Therefore, Sima Zhao asked Sima Yan and Sima You to rely on Guo Huai in everything. Only by trusting Guo Huai can the Sima family be kept in full bloom.

After arriving in Longxi, the Sima Yan brothers respected Guo Huai very much, obeyed his words, and obeyed the orders. After all, Guo Huai was in charge of Yong Liang's military power. When they hugged Guo Huai's thighs, they were equivalent to having a stable backer.

Guo Huai's loyalty to the Sima family is indeed nothing to say. Although he may not necessarily agree with Sima Zhao's radical means of becoming emperor, Sima Zhao has already become emperor. Of course, Guo Huai also supported Sima Zhao without hesitation and readily accepted the order for Sima Zhao's orphanage.

Sima Zhao died after burning himself. For the Sima Yan brothers, it was indeed like the sky collapsed. They were as anxious as a dog that was stranded, and they didn't even know where the future was. What would be the fate waiting for them?

This was Guo Huai's reassurance for them. He solemnly stated that he would follow Sima Zhao's will, support the crown prince Sima Yan to ascend the throne, and not cut off the Jin Dynasty.

This also made Sima Yan feel a little relieved. After all, he knew nothing about marching and fighting. Now his only reliance is Guo Huai. As long as Guo Huai, who has a heavy army, can continue to support him, Sima Yan will have the possibility of ascending the throne.

Originally, Guo Huai planned to handle Sima Yan's ascension to the throne in Ji County. After all, the Great Jin Dynasty could not be without a king for a day, but Jiang Wei's sudden invasion completely disrupted Guo Huai's plan, and the Longxi army had to respond hastily, and the ascension to the throne was stranded.

Jiang Wei's invasion of Longxi this time was completely prepared. He took advantage of the decline of Jin's national strength and launched a large-scale army to annex Longxi. As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness and killing you. Jiang Wei's attack this time was different from the small-scale slap in the past. Instead, he concentrated more than half of the army of Shu and attacked with all his strength. Guo Huai could only use all his strength to deal with Jiang Wei and strive to ensure that Ji County was not lost.

Sima Lun's sudden entry suddenly changed the situation in Longxi. If Sima Lun could cooperate with Guo Huai and attack inside and outside, Jiang Wei would undoubtedly lose.

But beyond everyone's expectations, Sima Lun took the initiative to surrender to Shu under a good situation, which could have completely ruined the country and country of the Jin Dynasty.

Sima Yan was both afraid and afraid of this emperor uncle who was younger than him. He knew that Sima Lun and his father Sima Zhao had already had the same power in order to seize the throne. Now Sima Yan had no choice but to have a heavy army against Sima Lun. If Sima Lun wanted to kill their brothers, they would probably not have even a trace of resistance.

Fortunately, when the situation was critical, Guo Huai still adhered to his promise to Sima Zhao. He refused to surrender to Shu and threatened to negotiate with Sima Lun with the grain and grass accumulated in Ji County, asking Sima Lun to let them go and leave Longxi and go to Liangzhou. In this exchange, the grain and grass of Ji County and the five counties of Longxi belonged to Sima Lun.

Although Sima Lun had a lot of people, he was about to face the dilemma of food being cut off, so Sima Lun had to agree to Guo Huai's conditions, and Sima Yan was able to escape from danger and save his life.

For Sima Yan, the hope of becoming an emperor was rekindled, because after leaving Longxi, Guo Huai said more than once that after arriving in Liangzhou, he would support Sima Yan to become crowned and ascend the throne, so that the Great Jin Dynasty would have successors.

Unfortunately, Guo Huai was overworked on the way to Liangzhou and unfortunately died of illness. Before his death, he handed over the matter of entrusting his orphan to the governor of Liangzhou Fu Yu.

Sima Yan's heart suddenly became cold. He was not familiar with Fu Yu and knew nothing about Fu Yu's ability and strength. More importantly, it remains to be seen whether Fu Yu is as loyal as Guo Huai.

In short, Sima Yan's act of becoming emperor suddenly became bleak due to Guo Huai's death.

As expected, when he arrived in Guzang, Fu Yu did not follow Guo Huai's order and supported Sima Yan to ascend the throne. In Fu Yu's words, the current situation in the world is as dangerous as possible. At this time, we should act in a low-key manner and decide whether to ascend the throne based on changes in the situation.

In fact, for Fu He, whether Sima Yan ascended the throne or not was of completely different significance. Once Sima Yan ascended, he would definitely stand up countless enemies and become the target of public criticism. Liangzhou has always been weak and poor. If it became the target of deliberate attack by the Three Kingdoms, Liangzhou would easily be destroyed.

Sima Yan had no choice but to agree to Fu Yu's proposal, suspend his pronouncement of emperor, maintain the original state, and make plans after the situation in the world changes.

But after waiting, I waited for a very bad news. Jiang Wei and Sima Lun's coalition forces suffered a great defeat in Longxi. They had already evacuated Longxi and returned to Shu. The entire Longxi was obtained by Cao Liang.

The relationship between Liangzhou and Longxi is mutually exclusive and has strong interdependence. Longxi is the barrier to Liangzhou. It is precisely because Jiang Wei and Sima Lun restrained the Wei army in Longxi that Sima Yan was able to rest assured in Liangzhou.

Now that Longxi is lost, Sima Yan immediately felt the true meaning of the coldness of his lips and teeth. If the Wei army took advantage of the situation to advance westward at this time, how could the military and civilians of Liangzhou respond to the enemy?

what to do?

This seemed to have become a difficult problem above their heads. It was normal for the military and civilians of Liangzhou to become frightened. Now Fu Yu, who is in charge of power, needs to take the initiative to stand up and take on the heavy responsibility.

But what disappointed Simalun was that at this time Fu Yu retreated again.
