"Liu San is still alive? Brothers Cao Fanghao and Cao Fangfeng are still alive?" Liu Qi said in surprise and joy.

"Yes. These three people are all the rescued prisoners. The officials clearly remember these three names." After going to Jieshan City to convey the order to Governor Niu, he did not return to Kucha Town but rushed to Yuluzhou, and replied.

Liu Qi naturally came to Yuluzhou with the current Anxi governor Li Gong. Governor Niu led the prisoners from the north bank of the Saiyeshui to Jieshan City, and sent people to Kucha Town to report on the rescue of more than 30,000 prisoners.

Therefore, the entire Suiye Town had been occupied by the cannibals, and the Tang Town of Suiye Town had already led its troops to withdraw to Dunduo City, so this report was not sent to Kucha Town until the end of September.

After seeing the content of the report, Li Gong was immediately overjoyed and smiled three times. For him, this was a sleepy person who gave him a pillow. He was worried that there were too few soldiers and there were more than 30,000 young and middle-aged men, many of whom had served as soldiers and fought wars. With more than 30,000 people, it was almost certain that they would be sure to defend the cities in the southeast of Tianshan.

But after being happy, Li Gong immediately began to think about the 30,000 command. This is not like using troops to fight and dealing with political affairs. This is a power struggle, a power struggle that he has seen a lot since he was eight or nine years old in the capital.

He quickly realized that if the 30,000 people were allowed to be reorganized by Niu or Yuluzhou, would the reorganized army still obey him completely? Will he be lip service when he was arranged for an uneasy job? You must know that at this time, the Central Plains was in chaos and the authority of the court might not be easy to use.

He immediately made up his mind and rushed to Yuluzhou to be responsible for the reorganization. Therefore, the general he trusted most in Anxi was Liu Qi, who also brought him over.

"This is really great!" Liu Qi shouted happily: "At last there is good news."

After he arrived in Yuluzhou, he immediately found out whether the soldiers from Yuluzhou, named Zhang Hu or Danfu, were rescued, but after searching the roster for more than ten times, he did not find these two names.

Although Liu Qi had long guessed that the two of them had died in battle, he was still very sad after confirming that, and did not dare to climb the Zhang family's door. He only sent someone to tell Shi Tianqiao, Tianyou, Tianzuo and Xing'er that he was also depressed all day long. It was not until today that he heard that these three acquaintances were still alive.

"Liu Qi, why are you so happy today?" He was smiling, and Li Gong walked in and said softly.

"I have met the Protector. The Protector. The lower official just heard that three acquaintances were not dead, but were still alive. He was happy and couldn't help laughing out loud." Liu Qi hurriedly bowed and said.

"This is really a good thing." Li Gong also said with a smile: "It's worth celebrating. Have a glass of wine tonight."

"No, the lord, no." Liu Qi immediately said: "We are fighting with the Great Cannibal; I heard that the Great Cannibal has sent troops to attack Jieshan City. Before winter comes, Yuluzhou will most likely be attacked by the Great Cannibal. Now the whole city is in charge of the war and doing its best to prepare for war. How can the officials eat wine?"

Li Gong has no problem with drinking, his identity is enough to ensure that no one dares to speak out; in addition, there are many things that require local tribes to cooperate with when defending Luzhou. Li Gong can take advantage of the opportunity to talk about things with the local tribe leader to have alcohol, and no one will talk more.

But he failed to succeed. He was just an Anxi general. Because he was promoted too fast and made people jealous, he had no excuses to have a banquet with the local tribes and would never eat wine.

"Okay. Wait until you fight back the big cannibals in Luzhou and guard this city before holding a banquet so that you can have a good time to eat wine." Li Gong said.

"Thank you, everyone, understands it." Liu Qi said again.

"Okay, the military situation is urgent now, don't do those false gifts." Li Gong sat on a chair next to him and asked, "How are you preparing now?"

When Liu Qi heard Li Gong's question, he immediately answered seriously.

"I have already given instructions to train all the young and strong people from Jieshan City, and use the veterans to train those who have not served as soldiers to strive for combat effectiveness as soon as possible; the people in the city are stepping up cutting down trees, cutting stones, and preparing to roll wood and stones; the promised money and food of the big tribes in the city have been allocated, which is enough for everyone in the city to eat and use for three years."

"There were also selected hundreds of people who had hatred with the same great cannibals from those who had been captured, and memorized the booklets compiled by the subordinates, and sent them to the army to serve as instructors of the great power."

"According to the return, although it was only less than ten days, with the instructor of Dayi appearing and the motivation of various Dayi slogans, the morale of the soldiers has increased a lot, and the hatred of the cannibals has increased. The effect is significant."

"When selecting Dayi instructors, the low-ranking officials also specially selected people who believe in Taoism or Buddhism, so that Dayi instructors can sincerely promote the soldiers to kill big food and go to heaven; kill big food and accumulate good deeds; kill big food and great compassion, etc., which makes many people gradually no longer afraid of dying in battle."

The formal implementation of the Dayi instructor system was one of the most important changes brought to the Anxi Tang army after the once captured people came to Yuluzhou.

As early as when Feng Changqing had just led his troops to leave Anxi, Liu Qi talked to Li Gong about the establishment of a Dayi instructor, but there were not enough candidates to serve as a Dayi instructor, so the matter could only be put on hold.

But after these people came, Li Gong had enough candidates to serve as instructors of Dayi. All of these people hated the great cannibals. As long as it helped to defeat the great cannibals and kill the great cannibals, not to mention making them believe in the great cannibals, even if they were convinced that Li Gong was the reincarnation of my son, it would be fine.

Promoting justice can strengthen the cohesion of the army, strengthen the soldiers' hatred and hatred for the cannibals, and help defeat the cannibals. Of course, these people immediately believed in the righteousness and were willing to actively preach to others.

Moreover, these people have been abused by the cannibals, and can also tell the soldiers about their personal experiences, so that all soldiers can have an intuitive understanding of how cruel the cannibals are, so that they will even more hate the cannibals and believe in righteousness. Therefore, they are extremely suitable instructors for the cannibals.

After understanding this logic, Li Gong and Liu Qi selected hundreds of people as instructors of righteousness and sent them to various armies to promote the cruelty of righteousness and cannibalism. According to Liu Qi's words, the effect was significant.

"It's very well prepared." Li Gong smiled after hearing Liu Qi's words: "After the big cannibals come, first defend the city and the big cannibals first. After the training of each army is completed, then launch a counterattack and drive the big cannibals away from Yuluzhou. Then slowly recover the cities of Shuye Town."

With these 30,000 prisoners, Li Gong's courage grew stronger and he dared to regain Shuye Town.

But Liu Qi frowned after hearing Li Gong's words. He said again: "Protector, the lower officials always feel that defending the city like this will not fully play the role of 30,000 captured people."
