Chapter 644: Sima Yi's Final Chapter
Just when Guo Huai was fighting for his last battle on the battlefield, desperately trying to attract firepower for Guanqiu Jian and others, Sima Shi was escorting his father to retreat.
In this battle, Sima Yi failed to discover Ma Su's plan, resulting in the emptiness of the most important main force of the central army. Then Ma Su's arrow hit the center, which eventually led to the tragic defeat of tens of thousands of people.
However, Sima Yi should not be blamed for this defeat. Because this big man who is most good at keeping healthy in Cao Wei is no longer able to do it.
At that time, Ma Su led his troops to pursue and ordered Ma Zhong to snipe Sima Yi. The distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps at one time, which allowed Ma Zhong's arrow to achieve the maximum lethality.
An arrow penetrated Sima Yi's armpit at an angle, with only the arrow feathers exposed, and the arrow head emerged from the chest. Not to mention Sima Shi, even if a blind man saw it, he would be sure that Sima Yi would die.
However, Sima Shi was still unwilling to give up, so he led the rear army to abandon the camp and escort Sima Yi in the hope of rushing back to Linzi for rescue.
However, not long after walking, Sima Yi woke up by himself, and his face suddenly turned rosy, as if nothing had happened. But Sima Shi, who saw this, turned pale, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was a last breath.
"Father..."
"Master! Wipe your tears and pick up your weapons!" Old Mr. Sima Yi had a last breath, but he was not too panicked. Seeing his son's pale face, he even frowned and scolded.
"Everyone has to die, but sooner or later, what's there to be sad about. Master, as the successor of our Sima family, you are so unstable, which disappoints me so much!"
"Father..."
"Okay, I don't have much time, no time to say more, you must remember what I'm going to say next." Sima Yi shook his head and continued to speak calmly.
He knew his own injuries, and Taishan Fujun was waiting for him next to him. But the aftermath was very complicated, and he needed to hurry up.
Fortunately, Sima Shi was also a person who was extremely good at controlling his emotions. Even though he was grief-stricken, he quickly suppressed his emotions and listened to Sima Yi's arrangements without changing his expression.
"After my death, Wei will no longer be able to resist the attack of the Shu army. Hebei has almost no natural defenses, and its fall is inevitable. It just depends on when the Shu people want to attack."
"So the current strategy is to continue to wait for a price, which is no longer realistic. So cancel the previous coup plan and start thinking about the family's way out directly."
That's right, even if Ma Su had publicized the fart in Luoshui in advance, Sima Yi still made a plan for the coup. He has been gathering military power in various ways during this period, which is essentially preparing for this stage.
It's a pity that his luck is too bad. Originally, as long as the Huainan Army entered Hebei, he could quickly take over the military power of Yanzhou. By then, with the coup of the three states' soldiers, Cao Shuang was kicked out, and Sima Yi could fight for a great future for his family.
Although even if he succeeded, Ma Su would probably not let him go, but Sima Yi didn't care. At that time, as long as his two sons and the remaining family members can fight for a better future, will Sima Yi still be afraid of death?
Unfortunately, God did not favor him and let Sima Yi go first. The Huainan Army and the Qingzhou Army he had just seized were almost completely destroyed, and the hope of a coup would not be too great.
Therefore, Sima Yi had to temporarily modify the plan. He gave up raising the price and directly took the back road to get rid of the shares from Cao Wei.
"In this situation, the clan members must be transferred as soon as possible. Before the Shu army marches north to Hebei, all the most important clan members must be sent to Shu Han."
Facing Sima Yi's instructions, Sima Shi nodded without hesitation and immediately replied,
"Master, I understand. When I return to Yecheng, I will send people to contact the people of Shu Han and find a way to send Zhao Xian back..."
However, Sima Yi shook his head gently and said to Sima Shi tightly.
"No, I mean... Master, you go to Shu Han."
When Sima Yi said this, Sima Shi's face suddenly changed, and his eyes revealed disbelief.
"Father, you mean..."
"Give up on them, Cao Shuang will not sit idly by, and Ma Su will not accept it either."
Sima Yi shook his head gently and smiled a little tiredly. It was not until he talked about his family that Sima Yi showed his distress, which was extremely rare.
If there was a choice, with Sima Yi's temperament, he would hope that this group of Sima family members who still followed him would advance and retreat together. But now, Sima Yi must choose to cut off his arm and survive from the overall strategic point of view.
"Ma Su has always been interested in you and has repeatedly said that he must capture you alive. After returning to Linzi, you will immediately lead the Liaodong Army into Qingzhou and surrender Qingzhou."
"In this case, Ma Su has no big grudge against you, so he will not attack you. With Master's age and ability, I believe that even if he goes to Shu Han, he will sooner or later be in a high position and protect the Sima family in Henei!"
"Then Zhaodi..." Sima Shi's face was a little pale, no longer calm as before.
Sima Yi closed his eyes and did not answer this question. But not answering was the best answer.
Sima Yi's meaning was very clear, giving up everything.
But obviously, this was definitely not something Sima Shi would accept. Although their Sima family was very insidious to the outside world, the internal feelings were very good.
However, these were not within Sima Yi's consideration, or he had no conditions to consider this. In his final arrangement, it was basically to let Sima Shi cut ties with Cao Wei.
"Don't dream of going back to Yecheng to pick up Zhao. Even if you can deal with Cao Shuang, Ma Su will not accept it." Sima Yi shook his head, knowing Ma Su's temperament very well.
"Except you, anyone in the Sima family who goes to Shuhan will die."
"So, Master, these are necessary sacrifices!"
After saying that, Sima Yi suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out directly. Sima Shi was shocked and hurried forward to support Sima Yi, but was grabbed by Sima Yi.
"Master! I have been walking on thin ice all my life, working diligently for our Sima family! Don't let this family business decline!" Sima Yi held Sima Shi's hand tightly and said in a deep voice.
Before he finished speaking, Sima Shi felt the hand holding him suddenly loosen. When he looked again, Sima Yi had already lost his breath!
"Father!!"
In the 20th year of Jianxing, Sima Yi died of illness in a valley in Daxian Mountain. This original historical Sima Xuan Wang finally met his final chapter in the mountains and forests of Langya.
His departure completely cut off the last hope of Cao Wei. The regime that originally hoped to secede in Hebei no longer posed any threat to Ji Han.
The situation in the world in the future is basically clear.
