Sima Yi did not follow Guo Huai's advice and went to Chang'an to recuperate. Instead, he took a brief rest at Linjin Pass for a few days, then set off south to Tongguan, and then returned to Luoyang from Guanluo Road.

Guo Huai was extremely concerned about Sima Yi's injuries and specially transferred the most famous doctor from Chang'an to recuperate Sima Yi with the best and most expensive medicinal materials. According to the doctor's words, Sima Yi did not hit the key point. He only needed to take care of him for several months to recover. It is best to avoid fatigue and rest in peace.

But Sima Yi was so eager to return home that he seemed unwilling to stay here for too long. Guo Huai had no choice but to send him east and let the doctors from Chang'an go with him to be responsible for the illness along the way. After returning to Luoyang, there were naturally imperial doctors in the palace who treated Sima Yi, and the doctors could return at that time.

Sima Yi was in a hurry to return to Luoyang, so there was naturally an important task. Although he had announced in front of Guo Huai that he had handed over the authority to Sima Shi, this was just a private friendship. Sima Yi still needed to return to Luoyang and officially complete the handover in front of all civil and military officials.

After all, Sima Shi is still relatively young - in fact, this is what Sima Yi believes. In fact, Sima Shi is already forty-three years old this year, and has long passed the age of forty, and is even at the age of knowing destiny. He is really not young, but in the eyes of his parents, no matter how old his son is, he still can't grow up. He lacks experience in leading the army and fighting, and he is also lacking in the ability to govern the country. He needs to help him get on the horse and send him off for another trip.

Sima Yi was not very relieved about Sima Shi. Although he was already the best among all the scholars, there was still a considerable gap between Sima Yi's requirements.

If Sima Yi, like the way he pacified Wang Linglinghu Yu, eliminated all the hostile forces of the Sima family, Sima Yi could safely hand over the great cause to Sima Shi. However, Cao Liang's emergence became a roadblock for the Sima family to hold his ears in the world. This battle in Bingzhou is enough to prove that Cao Liang is definitely a powerful enemy who can threaten the life and death of the Sima family. If Cao Liang is not eliminated for a day, Sima Yi will be unable to remain silent even if he dies!

It’s a pity that Cao Liang was in his prime, and he was a few years younger than Sima Shi. Sima Yi was an old man in his seventies and was about to die. If he was to fight for his age, he would have no advantage at all.

Although not many people in the Cao family lived longevity, Cao Pi died at the age of 40, and his son Cao Rui was even a short-lived ghost. After only thirty-six years of life, he went to the nine springs to accompany the ancestors of the Cao family. It was Sima Yi who used his lifeline that was much longer than others to leave all three generations of the Cao family behind, and then he had the opportunity to climb to the peak of power.

But climbing to the top cannot mean that you can laugh to the end, because when standing at the peak of power, Sima Yi has to face countless enemies. Some enemies are not a threat to him, but some enemies make him restless and unwilling to eat. If he cannot be eliminated, then after his death, he will leave a huge problem for his successor.

With Sima Shi's ability, it was indeed a bit difficult to deal with Cao Liang. Sima Yi clearly realized this, so this was also his biggest hidden worry.

Now, it is appropriate to pass his position to Sima Shi while Sima Yi is still a little strong. On the one hand, it can also familiarize Sima Shi with the environment of governance and show his ability to govern the military. At the same time, it can also allow Sima Yi to clearly see his strengths and weaknesses, help him learn from his strengths and weaknesses, and truly become the mainstay of the Sima family.

After Sima Yi was injured, the Sima Army performed the command power and was remarkable. Although the Sima Army suffered a lot of casualties, when the cavalry troops were completely wiped out and only the infantry team was left, this kind of battle was actually the most difficult to fight. Even if Sima Yi came to command himself, it might not be as outstanding as Sima Army.

A total of 50,000 or 60,000 troops completed the crossing of the river and successfully escaped from Hedong to Yongzhou. Nearly half of the soldiers were able to save their lives. Sima Yi also felt sorry for this.

This undoubtedly shows Sima Shi's growth over the years. You should know that Sima Yi used to take him to fight, mostly to play side drums, provide some strategies, and do some errands to convey. But this time, after Sima Yi was injured, Sima Shi took the lead. When the entire army was alive and died, he finally got out of the predicament.

It is precisely because Sima Yi appreciated Sima Shi's performance that Sima Yi took the initiative to hand over power.

The Sima family's power can be completed smoothly, which is the most important thing.

After leaving Tongguan, he walked slowly along the Hanguan Avenue, which Sima Yi was most familiar with. It was far away from the Bingzhou battlefield, so Sima Yi naturally didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

He is now riding a carriage with four cars arranged by Guo Huai. The luxury inside and outside of the car is breathtaking. Of course, the luxury of the appearance is not important. Sima Yi now needs a comfortable carriage to help him recover from the bumps of long-distance marching.

Sima Shi would board the carriage to pay tribute to Sima Yi every morning and evening. It can be seen that the medical skills of Guo Huai who came to Sima Yi were indeed quite skillful. Under his conditioning, Sima Yi's complexion had improved greatly, and a little rosy look appeared on his pale face, which made Sima Shi very happy.

Whether Sima Yi's health or not is the most concerned thing about Sima Shi. They walked eastward and had already passed the old Hangu Pass, not far from Luoyang City.

"Father, Gucheng is ahead, and it is only one day away from Luoyang." The feeling of being close to the hometown is even more timid. Sima Shi was inevitably a little excited. Maybe this is the feeling of going home, especially after experiencing the separation of life and death, this feeling of going home is even more precious.

Sima Yi looked calm, and there seemed to be a hint of hollowness in his blank eyes, and he looked completely calm. Even if he was about to go home, it would be difficult to make Sima Yi excited.

"Oh, I'm about to arrive in Luoyang? I'm back. It's really a blessing to be able to come back alive. It's a pity that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be buried in the Bingzhou forever. They are incompetent as fathers. Even their corpses will not be able to bring back their hometowns." Sima Yi sighed sadly, and there was a lot of self-blame in his words.

The fallen leaves return to their roots. In fact, many people have been wandering all their lives, thinking that they can be buried in their hometown after death. However, the soldiers who died in the Battle of Bingzhou have no chance to bring the corpses back to their hometown, and can only die in a foreign land.
