Chapter 35: The Death of Mao Yi

"Father!" "General Mao!" "General!" This startled everyone, and then General Mao looked at everyone, smiled reluctantly, and said: "Hehe, you don't have to worry about me, Dayong, I will tell you one thing, and in the future, I will follow His Royal Highness King Kui, which is now Uncle Lihuang, and it is no problem to gather our people again, and it is no problem to get together two or three thousand people!" I'm dying now, just such a thing, please, His Royal Highness King Kui is a benevolent and righteous lord, now the world is in chaos, I hope you can fulfill this wish for me, help His Royal Highness King Kui ascend to the throne, and continue to continue our Tang foundation! Ahem... ”

Old Man Li hurriedly said on the side: "General Mao, you better talk less, take care of it first, it will get better, don't think about anything else, taking care of your injuries is the main thing!" We all need you! ”

General Mao waved his hand lightly and said: "Your Royal Highness King Kui, don't persuade me, I know my own body, if I don't say it now, I will never have a chance to say it again!" After speaking, he turned his head to Mao Hao and said: "Xiao Hao, you will have to go by yourself in the future, Dad can no longer accompany you, listen to your brother Feng in the future, do you hear?" ”

Xiao Hao knelt beside the bed, grabbed General Mao's hand tremblingly, and said in a choked voice: "I, I know, father, don't say it, take care of your body!" ”

Then General Mao said to Lin Feng: "Xiao Feng, remember what you promised me, otherwise I won't be blind when I die... As he spoke, he didn't say anything, and then he grabbed Xiao Hao's hand and hung down naturally.

"Father!" Xiao Hao, who had been holding back for a long time, finally cried. General Wei on the side clenched his fists, biting his lip tightly, his nails were punctured and blood was left in his palms, and his teeth biting his lips were also covered with blood.

Old Man Li also lowered his head on the side, and two hot tears dripped from his eyes. Xiao Wei beside Lin Feng had already let go of my hand, turned around and sobbed in a low voice.

Lin Feng slowly walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and slowly brushed General Mao's eyes shut, and whispered: "Don't worry, I promise you that you will abide by it!" ”

A simple tomb was built overnight, and General Mao was buried. Xiao Hao decided to guard General Mao's spirit for three days, and Lin Feng didn't stop him.

In the evening, everyone dispersed after a simple meal, as for the more than 200 people brought by General Wei, they set up a simple small shed near the granary to live, and for the time being, it can only be like this, suddenly there are so many more people, Lin Feng has no better way to arrange them.

After dinner, Lin Feng arranged for Xiao Zhou to accompany Xiao Hao, and then came to Old Man Li's house alone, Lin Feng looked at the door and saw that there was no light inside, thinking that Old Man Li had fallen asleep, and was already ready to leave, but he didn't expect the door to open, Old Man Li smoked a cigarette, stood by the door and said, "Come in, I know you will come!" ”

Lin Feng nodded, walked into the room, sat down at the table, and lit a cigarette and smoked. Neither of them spoke. After smoking a cigarette, Lin Feng was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door.

"Dad, did you sleep? I'm Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun's voice came from outside the door.

"Ahem... Old Man Li coughed twice and said, "Come in, the door is unlocked." ”

Then Xiao Su pushed the door and came in, when he first came in, he didn't expect Lin Feng to be there, and after seeing Lin Feng, he was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and said, "Brother Feng, you are also here!" I nodded, didn't speak, and then took out another cigarette and lit it.

Xiao Su then sat between Lin Feng and Old Man Li, looking at the two of them without speaking.

After Old Man Li finished smoking a cigarette, he spoke first: "Since you two are here, I'll make it clear." Then he turned his head to Xiao Su and said: "Xiao Kun, don't blame your father for hiding the truth from you, I also want you to be unaffected by these things and be able to live a normal life for a lifetime, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end... ”

Xiaojun nodded and said obediently: "Dad, I don't blame you, I understand!" I'm just coming to see you, nothing else, don't think about it! ”

Old Man Li nodded, touched Xiaoyun's head with a smile on his face and said, "Hehe, it's still my good daughter!" Then he turned to Lin Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, now you know what I mean by what I said to you, right?" ”

This reminded Lin Feng of what he said to himself in the afternoon, I am useful to you, and you are also useful to me. Coupled with some different feelings about him before, it was really similar to what I expected, he was a big politician, or a royal nobleman! Lin Feng nodded and replied, "Well, I understand!" But I'd like to ask, what are you going to do next? We're now counting three hundred people in total, and half of them are wounded! ”

Old Man Li nodded and said: "I know this, we don't need to do anything, let me say, Huang Chao is not terrible, he is just a salt seller, he likes to play ruthless and brave, and he will not be able to become a big deal in the future, so we don't need to clash with him head-on, and besides, we don't have the strength to conflict now." ”

After listening to Old Man Li's words, Lin Feng secretly thought that he was indeed the best candidate for the throne that year, and his mind and vision were not ordinary. Lin Feng opened his mouth and asked, "Then what do you say we should do now?" ”

Old Man Li asked rhetorically: "If you are asked to make a decision, what are you going to do?" ”

Lin Feng sat quietly on the side, his fingers tapping on the table, thinking about the terrain in his impression, thinking about history, and then raised his head and said: "This war seems to be lost, and the defeat is irretrievable, I think the emperor will withdraw from Chang'an, if he withdraws from Chang'an, I think the emperor will go to Sichuan to develop, where the natural conditions are sufficient, if you withdraw from Chang'an to Sichuan, then it will definitely pass through Hanzhong, so I will choose to meet the holy car in the middle of the way to Hanzhong." However, we need to have enough strength to reflect our own value, of course, in the current situation, if you come forward, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort! After saying it in one breath, Lin Feng looked at Old Man Li's reaction. (Hanzhong was the city of Liangzhou in the late Tang Dynasty.) )

After listening to the words, Old Man Li nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I really didn't see the wrong person, the analysis is very good, just do what you say, tomorrow you call General Wei together to discuss, he can still gather some people, now in this world, if we can gather three thousand people, we can do things for ourselves, and we don't have to obey other people's orders at all!" Leave this matter to General Wei, and you will discuss it with him personally tomorrow!" ”

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Brother Wei tomorrow to talk about this!" If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first! With that, Lin Feng was about to get up and leave.

Old Man Li hurriedly pressed his hand and said, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing." It's your marriage to Xiaoyun, what do you think? ”
