Chengdu.
It was rare for Liu Mang to hang out with his two pregnant women.
Although Zhu Rong is a southern barbarian, he also knows how to come first and arrive first.
Being so polite, Sun Shangxiang and Lu Qiling naturally reached out to avoid hitting the smiling person.
Especially after hearing that Zhu Rong was Liu Mang's savior, the two of them were even more grateful to Zhu Rong.
If Zhu Rong hadn't donated his virgin blood, Liu Mang would have died.
Two little guys, Jiang Wei and Zhuge Guo, were accompanying them.
Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.
But Zhang Xingcai complained a lot. Within a few months of the expedition, he brought back a woman.
If things continue like this, Brother Liu Mang's harem may not be able to be crowded!
Fortunately, Guan Yinping was heartless and often asked Zhu Rong for martial arts advice.
As the daughter of Guan Yu, she is born with amazing arm strength and can be said to be a powerful lolita.
Jiang Wei was stunned and lost to Guan Yinping in an arm wrestling match. If Zhuge Guo hadn't comforted him, he would have been depressed for a while.
Liu Mang walked leisurely on the street, watching the people going about their duties, no longer trapped by the war.
In the market, prices are stable, and there are no profiteers raising prices.
Liu Mang was very pleased and felt that everything was worth it.
"Chang Qing."
Lu Qiling gently called Liu Mang, "I heard that Sima Yi has been reinstated. It's a pity that Qiao Zhou failed to write him to death!"
Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang snorted: "It's all Sima Yi's fault! If he hadn't bewitched his second brother, Jiang Dong wouldn't have stabbed him in the back!"
There were some things that Liu Mang was embarrassed to say too much because of Sun Shangxiang's face.
Your Sun Quan doesn't have any dirty thoughts. Even if Sima Yi says all the flowers are flying, he can't possibly send troops to attack Jingzhou, right?
All in all, Sun Quan still has the heart of a rat.
Sima Yi just ignited his ambition.
"Ah!"
Lu Qiling said with great interest: "Tigress, your brother is really ambitious and has blue eyes that penetrate the dark world!"
"If it weren't for General Zhao and Military Advisor Pang, I'm afraid Jingzhou would have been captured by your brother."
"If one day, your brother becomes the enemy of Changqing, what will you do?"
Lu Qiling was never good at comforting others, while Zhu Rong looked confused. It was clear that the two sisters had done nothing wrong in the past.
Why did I suddenly talk about this while walking on the street today?
"I... marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, so of course I want to help him!"
Sun Shangxiang felt uncomfortable, but thinking of the child in her belly, she chose Liu Mang without hesitation.
After thinking about it, if Sun Quan really missed the relationship between brother and sister, how could he do such a despicable thing and make his sister lose face in front of her husband's family?
"That's good! You're still a tigress!"
Lu Qiling's sudden change of expression caught Sun Shangxiang off guard, "I'm just afraid that your elbows will turn outwards!"
"You have to think clearly, if Changqing suffers a loss, how can we sisters gain anything?"
"I don't have a natal family, and your natal family is almost the same!"
Sun Shangxiang nodded, after all, apart from some correspondence with Wu Guotai, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
Sun Quan never wrote a letter to him.
Zhu Rong obviously couldn't figure out the brain circuit of the Central Plains woman.
Why were they so tense just now, but now the two sisters are holding hands and going shopping.
"Your Majesty...they are..."
"Well, this is a specialty of Yizhou, Sichuan Opera Face Changing! You just need to get used to it."
Liu Mang did not forget to remind: "Zhu Rong, tell me directly what you want and what you want to do in the future. Don't follow their example and mention it in a subtle way!"
"I like to be straightforward!"
Zhu Rong nodded thoughtfully. Lu Qiling and Sun Shangxiang had already selected pieces of cloth and called Liu Mang and Zhu Rong over.
After all, she has become the wife of the prince of Hanzhong, and Zhu Rong can no longer wear animal skins like before.
Although it is not as light as before, Zhu Rong has a unique charm when he puts on Hanfu.
The combination of wildness and dignity made Liu Mang very satisfied.
Originally, the people of Yizhou looked down on the so-called Nanman people, but after hearing that Liu Mang had married Zhu Rong, their attitude towards the Nanman changed for the better.
Who doesn't know that one of Wang Shizi's concubines is the cave master of the Southern Barbarians. For Wang Shizi's sake, he also wants to be polite to the barbarians.
"Sima Yi will never give up."
Lu Qiling said softly: "This person is good at forbearance. Based on my understanding of him, he will get closer to Cao Pi."
"If it weren't for Cao Pi, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Cao Cao."
Liu Mang put forward a different opinion, "No. Cao Pi is only part of the factor. In fact, Cao Cao is more afraid of the political power of the powerful families."
"The Yingchuan nobles made great contributions to Cao Cao's efforts to pacify the north."
"Although they have never been able to get hold of military power, if one day Cao Cao is gone, Cao Pi will not suppress them like this."
Sun Shangxiang felt a headache when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Our Sun family is in the same situation in Jiangdong! The eldest brother was tortured by the Jiangdong nobles!"
"If these Jiangdong nobles hadn't caused trouble, my eldest brother would not have been killed by Xu Gong."
Liu Mang nodded and comforted Sun Shangxiang: "We and other foreign forces will always be rejected by the local nobles."
"Fortunately, Yizhou is an exception! They have been suppressed by the Dongzhou faction. I just give the Yizhou people a chance to govern Yizhou, and they will come back."
Liu Mang's approach was very simple, let the power of Dongzhou people transfer to Hanzhong.
Talented people from Yizhou cannot become officials in Yizhou. Isn’t this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
In addition to the important positions held by outsiders, Liu Mang placed great emphasis on Yizhou nobles so that they could shine.
This also made Liu Bei's rule more stable. Now the Yizhou nobles are devoted to Liu Bei.
If anyone dares to take advantage of Liu Bei, he should ask them first.
In the past, if you were a capitulator, you would not be appreciated by your master.
Uncle Liu appreciates us Yizhou people so much, so we must fight for him!
"Qiling, let Feiyu take the opportunity to sow discord between the Cao family and the noble clan."
Liu Mang said bluntly: "Only by destabilizing the Cao family can we have a chance to send troops to pacify Liangzhou."
Even though Lu Qiling is pregnant now, she still knows Fei Yu's information very well.
"So what do you want to do?"
"Staying still, Sima Yi has already developed a sense of crisis. There is no way this person can sit still and wait for death."
Liu Mang thought for a while and sighed: "The worst result is to trick Cao Pi into replacing Han!"
"It's a pity that Cao Cao is still alive, so Cao Pi may not be able to succeed."
"We just need to add fuel to the flames and spread the word."
Lu Qiling nodded and said: "This move will indeed make it difficult for Cao Cao to ride a tiger!"
"If he follows the trend, he will be accused of being a usurper!"
"But if he is indifferent, I believe that the old ministers who are loyal to the Han Dynasty will never remain silent."
Political struggle is not a treat, Liu Mang knows better than anyone.
As long as his father Liu Bei dares to send troops to Liangzhou rashly, maybe Cao's army from Chang'an will come out in full force!
