No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 1044 No Internal Consumption

At night, Ou Mengmeng looked at the map silently. She looked at the map here after her daughter-in-law and daughter left. Liu Bei was critically ill again. Is this true or false? However, Zhou Yu sent people back, so it must be true. After all, they lost Yizhou, which means that Sun Quan has already mastered Shu. Then from Yunnan, Guizhou to the coast, Sun Quan has formed a siege. Whether Liu Bei is really sick or not, their development is very limited at this moment. Even if Liu Bei doesn't die, there is nothing to say about their legion.

Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, was the youngest son of Liu Yan, the former governor of Yizhou. He succeeded his father Liu Yan as governor of Yizhou after his father's death. Liu Yan was a descendant of Liu Yu, the Prince of Lu Gong, the son of Emperor Jing of Han. Liu Yu, the Prince of Lu Gong, and Liu Sheng, the Prince of Zhongshan, were both sons of Emperor Jing of Han. Liu Bei was said to be a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan. So Liu Zhang and Liu Bei really had the same origin.

How can I describe Liu Zhang? He was cowardly but suspicious. There is a record in history that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was arrogant and did not listen to Liu Zhang's orders, so Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and brother, and the two sides became enemies. Liu Zhang sent Pang Xi to attack Zhang Lu, but was defeated. Isn't it a typical case of the weaker you are, the more you like to play?

Unable to win, Cao Cao was lured in again, so he listened to Zhang Song and Fa Zheng's advice and prepared to welcome Liu Bei into Yizhou, hoping to use Liu Bei's strength to resist Cao Cao. As a result, Liu Bei turned around and attacked Liu Zhang, and with Fa Zheng as an internal supporter, he advanced to Yizhou (Chengdu).

At this time, the people of Yizhou also wanted to resist, but Liu Zhang, like this time, opened the city gates to prevent the people from suffering. So, you see, Liu Bei is not a good person, I treat you as a brother, but you stab me in the back. At the critical moment, Liu Zhang was actually more humane than Liu Bei. At that moment, he did not think about himself, but put the people first.

After Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, Liu Zhang was forced to move to Jingzhou as General Zhenwei. After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, Liu Zhang belonged to the Eastern Wu and was appointed as the governor of Yizhou by Sun Quan. He died during Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition. It's really a bit sad to think about this man's life.

What Ou Mengmeng was thinking was, if Liu Bei died first, would the Three Kingdoms still exist? Or would Liu Bei stand up and attack Sun Quan in the name of Liu Zhang's "relative", and then have a suicidal final battle with Sun Quan and his men? At that time, Cao Cao would probably come, and if things went wrong, he would even join forces with Liu Bei.

While she was thinking, a soft and warm little person crawled onto her lap and sat down.

"Grandma?" Sun Deng climbed into her arms.

"What's the matter?" Sun Deng didn't live in the same room with her. But considering that the child was timid and would be scared in a new place, she let him live in the wing room in her yard. Sometimes, the little fat boy would come to look for her. If he saw her, he seemed to be less scared. But it was rare that he would run in and nestle in her arms.

"Are we going far away?" Sun Deng's eyes were red and his face was wet. Apparently someone had told him that Xiakou was thousands of miles away and it was not a place for daily outings.

"Afraid?" Ou Mengmeng looked at her grandson.

"Well, there are still the second and third brothers, aren't they going?" Sun Deng's face seemed to be about to burst into tears. His eyes were full of anticipation.

"Oh, are you afraid that no one will play with you?" Ou Mengmeng sighed and gently tapped Sun Deng's chubby face, "Can't bear to leave your brothers?"

"Yeah, a little!" Sun Deng covered his face, a little ashamed. He was not afraid to go thousands of miles away, but he couldn't bear to leave his two cousins. They played and studied together these days, and he was very happy anyway. Ou Mengmeng laughed and thought that this boy was really fun. She had always regretted not being able to participate in the children's lives before they were six years old.

In the Dream of the Red Chamber, she liked Jia Bing very much because she thought about her daughter and wondered if she would be as cute as she was when she was a child. But she soon realized it and tried her best to restrain herself afterwards.

She restrained herself from looking for the shadows of her own children in other children. She couldn't! Because she didn't want to let herself fall into the vortex of longing and never be able to climb out.

Now seeing the little Sun Deng, although shy, he also bravely expressed his emotions, which made Ou Mengmeng a little touched.

After experiencing all these worlds, she actually realized that what she thought was open-mindedness and insight was nothing but timidity. She was ashamed to admit that she loved her children, and she dared not admit that she was actually afraid of leaving her children.

After experiencing these lives, she saw the girls in the Red Mansion who were helpless; she experienced the progress and decline of that generation of children in the Siheyuan over the years; in "Harry Potter", she saw true bravery; and now she has entered the world of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although she does not know what she can get from this world, when she sees little Sun Deng nestling in her arms, she seems to know what she has gained from this world.

She gently picked up Sun Deng and kissed him on his chubby face. She was almost outshined by the child. He couldn't bear to leave his brother, so he said it frankly. Love, why can't you say it frankly? If she could go back, she would definitely tell the children that mom loves you very much, very, very much.

Liu Bei died when Sun Quan and his men were still on the road, although it is not right to say that he died at this time. He really died before he could fulfill his ambitions!

Ou Mengmeng thought about it and felt that it was okay. This was the world of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It didn't matter and it didn't affect history. She smiled and pretended that she didn't feel guilty.

Of course, when they were having a break, Zhang Zhongjing came with Fan Da. Ou Mengmeng looked at their expressions and wondered if they had taken the wrong script, as they looked a bit arrogant.

Sun Shangxiang called the two on board and served them tea. Yes, Sun Shangxiang finally gave up the papermaking workshop, took a few people with her, and followed Ou Mengmeng on board. Between her career and her mother, she chose her mother. However, she told her mother that she would open another papermaking workshop in Xiakou, and she also took a few masters who made movable type with her.

Ou Mengmeng was speechless. So you decided to go to Xiakou to be the boss. You didn't choose your mother over your career. You opened a new map. But forget it, it's okay if she is happy. Anyway, Sun Shangxiang is very happy and moved. At least this is the best of both worlds. Ou Mengmeng said at the time that it was very good for her to do so. No matter what time, she never gave up on herself. The main thing is that there is no mental exhaustion.

Sun Shangxiang was really happy during this journey, so when she came in with tea, she seemed to have a sense of relief, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. She was different from the female general in military uniform at the beginning, and the restrained lady later. Seeing her now, you can tell that the military uniform and the well-behaved little princess before were not her. It can only be said that Sun Shangxiang has found herself now. At least she has found the way that is most comfortable for her.

I have to go out for a meeting today, and I will take a day off tomorrow. I will be busy the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, especially the 21st, which will be a very busy day.
