Sima Shi also came ashore, and there were thousands of people who came ashore with him. This was the last group of retreating troops. The ferry no longer needed to return. As for the thousands who remained on the shore and broke their backs, their fate was already destined, either to die or surrender. In short, they could never go back.

Sima Shi was not reluctant to leave. Although the sacrifice of these people was the final successful escape, compared to the death of more than 100,000 people who died on the battlefield in Bingzhou, the last thousands of people could no longer get Sima Shi's concern.

After getting ashore, Sima Shi came straight to Sima Yi and said with concern: "Father, the wind is strong by the river. Your wound has not healed yet. Be careful of the wind and cold. It's better to enter the city earlier."

The garrison of Linjin Pass had already rushed over to greet him, but Sima Yi insisted on not entering the pass, so he could only hold his hands together and stand on the side.

Sima Yi shook his head gently and said, "The injury of his father is not serious. It's just a pity that these tens of thousands of soldiers went to war with him, but their blood was sprinkled in Bingzhou and he could never return to Luoyang. I feel ashamed of them for my father!"

Sima Shi comforted him: "Father, victory and defeat are common in military affairs. This time, Cao Liang's thief's tricks succeeded, so he was defeated. However, we can also make the horse harness used by the Bingzhou army this time. When we return to Luoyang, we will revive our momentum and avenge our today."

Sima Yi smiled sadly and said, "For revenge, I am afraid that being a father will have the heart but not enough strength. In the future, the great cause of the Sima family will fall on your shoulders. I hope you can live up to your father's expectations, carry forward the great cause of the Sima family, and hold on to the world."

Sima Yi's words clearly meant to hand over power. In fact, after Sima Yi was injured this time, Sima Shi had already performed his duties, but acting on behalf of him does not mean taking charge. After Sima Yi recovered from his injury, Sima Shi was still ready to hand over the power to Sima Yi.

But at this moment, Sima Yi clearly stated that even if his injuries were healed, he would not take charge of the overall situation of the Sima family. He would hand over all the government and military affairs to Sima Shi, which made Sima Shi overjoyed.

Sima's desire for power is even more different from that of ordinary people. Although he also knew that Sima Yi's authority would naturally not fall into the hands of others a hundred years later, there is nothing more joy than getting it one day earlier. Now Sima Yi has clearly expressed his delegation of power. Although it was after the great defeat, Sima Master was still extremely excited.

But he just felt happy inside and did not dare to reveal this feeling at all. Sima Yi was sad for the failure, and Sima Shi could only accompany him Qi Ran.

At this time, Guo Huai heard the news that Sima's army was defeated by Bingzhou, so he specially led his troops from Chang'an to respond. When he saw Sima Yi, he quickly got off the horse and paid homage.

Guo Huai is Sima Yi's confidant and directed the most important Yongliang land among the Sima family. You should know that Yongliang land is Sima Yi's base camp and the basic foundation of the Sima family. If something goes wrong with Yongliang, the Sima family's great cause will collapse soon.

Guo Huai is Wang Ling's brother-in-law. When Wang Ling rebelled in Huainan, many people expressed concern and advised Sima Yi to replace Guo Huai. If the brother-in-law and brother-in-law joined forces, the overall situation in the world would probably be reversed immediately.

But Sima Yi was unmoved and still valued Guo Huai. Facts proved that Guo Huai was indeed worthy of his trust. Not only did he clearly draw a clear line with Wang Ling, he also resisted the attack of Shu general Jiang Wei many times, stabilized the Yongliang border, and became the most solid backing of the Sima Group.

Afterwards, Wang Ling was executed, and within the three tribes of the Wang family, Guo Huai's wife was also executed. Guo Huai was already prepared to accept this result silently, but his five sons cried bitterly and refused to let anyone in the corpus capture Wang. Guo Huai had to submit a letter to Sima Yi for pleading with him.

Sima Yi did not refute Guo Huai's face and issued a special amnesty order to pardon Wang, which made Guo Huai devote himself to Sima Yi and loyal.

At this time, just after receiving the news that Sima Yi was defeated in Bingzhou, Guo Huai immediately led his troops to leave Chang'an and headed straight to Linjin Pass. Seeing that Sima Yi had crossed the Yellow River safely, Guo Huai also let it go.

"Boji, I'm not good at all. I lost this battle and I've won all the money I've saved for many years. Even Deda died in the Lingshi Pass. I'm really shameless to see you old brothers again." Sima Yi took Guo Huai's hand and sighed.

Sun Li and Guo Huai can be called Sima Yi's right-hand man. Although they are subordinates and close friends, they have a close friendship with Sima Yi. In order to increase the bargaining chips for victory in this Northern Expedition, Sima Yi specially arranged Sun Lilai as the vanguard. However, in the battle of Lingshi Pass, Sun Li was ambushed by the Bingzhou Army and died on the battlefield.

Seeing Guo Huai coming at this moment, Sima Yi recalled Sun Li again, and was even more sad.

Guo Huai comforted him: "Win and defeat are common things. Why should Duke Zhongda be so sad? On the battlefield, there is no eyebrow on the sword and arrow. Brother Deda is not worthy of any reason. Duke Zhongda can be as content as possible when he arrives in Yongzhou. The last general will swear to protect Duke. There is a natural danger to the Yellow River here. I believe that Cao Liang's traitor dares not act rashly and cross the river and attack. Duke Zhongda might as well go back to Chang'an to recuperate his wounds. After he recovers, he will reorganize his troops. The last general is willing to follow Duke to attack Bingzhou again."

Sima Yi smiled sadly. He knew that Guo Huai was just comforting him, so he said this. Fighting in Bingzhou again? Sima Yi no longer has the ability now. I guess he will never have such thoughts in his lifetime.

"Old, no, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to fight anymore, and I'm determined to leave the army and return to the land. From then on, all military affairs will be handled by Ju Ziyuan. Bo Ji, you are my most trusted brother. Ziyuan is still young and has to rely on you to assist in many places!"

Although Sima Yi's words were like chatting about family matters and were indifferent, they were no less stormy to Guo Huai. Sima Yi's words clearly represent the change of the Sima regime. From then on, Sima Yi will retreat behind the scenes and push Sima Shi to the front desk.

Although this was already expected, Guo Huai was extremely shocked when he heard this. Sima Yi said this, which was equivalent to entrusting his own son to him. Guo Huai naturally did not dare to slack off in such an important task. He immediately bowed: "The last time the general will work hard, and he will go through fire and water, and he will never refuse!"

An imperceptible smile flashed across Sima Shi's face. Sima Yi had told him this matter alone, after all, there was still a possibility of change. Now that he asked Guo Huai's orphans, this matter is a matter of fact. It is for sure that he can't escape the matter of holding power!
