No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"Second brother is so mean. He never asked about mother's illness." Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but complain after seeing her second brother leave.

"He still remembers to come and see me. Your fifth brother crawled out of my belly. Where is he?" Ou Mengmeng snorted deliberately.

Sun Shangxiang thought about it and realized that Sun Lang had only come when Chuan Guotai was seriously ill, and he had not shown up since then. No wonder the old lady was angry. No matter what, the second brother would come in from time to time to see her. He was here to send something. What did the fifth brother mean by this now?
Ou Mengmeng really didn't have any feelings for Wu Guotai's biological son. She didn't say it on purpose, but she thought her daughter was not smart. She said Sun Quan was not good for excitement. The other sons had been separated. Even Sun Shao was independent. Sun Shangxiang also had her own house outside. It was only when he was sick that Sun Shangxiang came back to take care of him. This was Sun Quan's territory. He was the head of the family.

She still sent someone to Sun Quan a message that night. She didn't want Sun Quan to execute the Taoist priest so easily. Didn't he always claim to have magical powers? Then let him build a high platform in the open space at the entrance of Sun's mansion and only tie his left foot with an iron chain. If he can ascend to heaven, let him go.

Sun Quan smiled, and felt deeply that his mother was narrow-minded than him. But he also sighed deeply, and it was appropriate. His mother and his biological mother had been together all their lives, and they had never had a quarrel. Knowing that his mother was killed by these people, the old lady must hate him more than himself. Since he thinks he is an immortal master, then let him become an immortal in public!
In the morning, Sun Quan asked the doctors to take turns to see the patient. It was very good. The alchemist also took the elixir, and his abdomen was as hard as iron. The doctors said that he was not far from ascending to heaven. Now Sun Quan really wanted to kill someone. You can just eat it yourself, what do you want my mother to eat? But this can't be said.

Knowing that he would soon die even if he was ignored, Sun Quan thought his mother was really wise. I let your followers think that you were persecuted to death? It affected your ascension to heaven? Am I a cheapskate!
He followed what Ou Mengmeng said, "Don't you brag about everything?" He collected quotations from believers and asked a child to read them to him, saying that one can listen to the voice of destiny, and that one can live without food or drink...

The Taoist priest did not feel embarrassed, but rather very pleased with himself. "Do you know how powerful I am? Let me go, I..."

"My mother said, since you say you are an immortal master, I will put you on the big stage in front of the door. If you can complete even one of the things I just read, I will forgive your crime. I can also ask the emperor to confer the title of Heavenly Master on you. How about that?" Sun Quan chuckled and said to him with a fake smile.

Of course, there is no need for the Taoist's consent, because the high platform on the open ground at the entrance has been built. This is a must-have in the army and does not require any technical skills. The believers were also called to the entrance. Your immortal master will appear and perform magic to prepare for his ascension.

Then, as Ou Mengmeng said, they tied one of the person's feet to the platform, fully expressing the freedom to cast spells on you.

He didn't know what he had done to Sun Quan, who had to do this to him. But he begged for mercy in private, but he was ignored. Now in front of the believers, what can he do? He must have the demeanor of a master.

Of course, within a day, he was no longer able to do it. He could not eat or drink, but he had to go to the bathroom. However, no one paid attention to him. You are a master, you can't be unable to solve such a problem, right?

Sun Quan had put the man on the platform for less than three days, and he was even more mortal than an ordinary person. The point was that he had actually suffered from severe liver poisoning. He had been well taken care of in the temple before, but here, he was first frightened, and then faced the believers on the platform, showing a hideous appearance, and his spirit collapsed all of a sudden.

This is Ou Mengmeng's purpose. These people are just actors. After acting for a long time, they have to believe that they are the children of destiny and they are different from others. At this time, she wants them to step down from the altar and let the believers know that this is the immortal master they believe in, but he is just a coward who is worse than them. Ou Mengmeng's actions actually aroused the vigilance of some alchemists. However, this time, Dongwu's actions did not seem to be out of line. That person can only say that he deserves it.

Of course, Ou Mengmeng still asked Sun Quan to write a letter to the emperor, expressing his guilt and sending the evidence of the alchemist's crimes one by one to show his attitude that he did not know what the alchemist had done, and that he dealt with it as soon as he knew it. He would also use the property confiscated from the alchemist to run a school to show the virtue of the saint.

This is also to let the world know that we are not targeting a certain group, we are targeting this person. Of course, if someone dares to mess around under the banner of the Sun family in the future, I will do the same. The reputation of the Sun family cannot be tarnished by them.

The matter of the alchemist was finally over. Sun Quan really felt the joy of the conspiracy this time. Yes, the one who was mainly in charge of Liu Bei before was Zhou Yu. Although the two of them discussed it together, there was no feeling of one person making the final decision. He didn't feel the shadow of his mother behind him at all. He felt that his mother and he were one, both of them had the surname Sun, so what difference did it make.

Ou Mengmeng also increased her praise for him. Now she knew that this was a little brat who lived in the shadow of his father and brother. Everything was compared with his father and brother. Thinking about it, she felt that this person was a bit miserable. Ou Mengmeng was the best at praising the laggards. She liked to praise the laggards as advanced in her life, and it always worked.

Zhuge Jin was also sent to Changsha. Yes, the previous governor of Changsha was Zhang Zhongjing. The problem is, don’t we want to use Zhang Zhongjing? So we sent Zhuge Jin, considering the problem of mutual communication. See, I handed over the overall situation of Jingzhou to Lu Su, who has a good relationship with you, and I handed Changsha to your military advisor’s brother. Isn’t this a sincerity to you?
At this time, Liu Bei and his men had just arrived in Jingzhou, while Guan Yu and his men had withdrawn from Xiangyang and went to Wuling. At this time, the situation was actually a bit chaotic. In order to show his sincerity, Zhou Yu ordered his men to withdraw from Nanjun and let Liu Bei's men move in.

In fact, Jingzhou at that time was a little different from Jingzhou in the 21st century. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou was divided into seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, and Changsha County.

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei seized Wuling County, Changsha County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County in southern Jingzhou, Sun Quan seized the southern part of Nan County (Jiangling), and Cao Cao retreated to the northern part of Jingzhou (Xiangyang County, northern Jiangxia County and the area to the north).

So in fact, after the Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Bei occupied most of the fruits of victory in Jingzhou. Sun Quan occupied the least land, just a corner in the south. Later, Zhou Yu conquered Jiangling County and Nan County, connecting them into a line, which became a barrier between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

But this time, it was obvious that Sun Quan did not want to suffer this loss again. Now, Sun Quan used Zhang Zhongjing to take over Changsha County, which was actually the gateway to Jiangdong and a place that must be fought for.

Liu Bei's trip to Nanxu was in vain. When he returned to Jingzhou, Changsha County was lost, but because Zhou Yu gave up Nan County, it was equivalent to realizing the natural situation in the later period, when the Xiang River was used as the boundary between Sun and Liu, Jiangxia County, Changsha County, and Guiyang County belonged to Sun Quan, and Nan County, Wuling County, and Lingling County belonged to Liu Bei.
