"Liu Qi, I mean, I'm going to worship." Li Gong said again.

"Protector, are you going to worship where they died in battle?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment and asked back.

“That’s exactly that.”

"Protector, this is a bit dangerous." Liu Qi said slowly: "If the Protector goes to worship, there is no need to worry about being discovered by the Great Cannibal in advance, but it is impossible to guarantee whether there are Great Cannibal soldiers stationed in the hills near that place. Once there are Great Cannibal soldiers and the number is large, how can the attack on the Protector be born?

If they go public to worship, the cannibals will also know. How they will deal with it, their subordinates cannot make a conclusion. But no matter how they are indifferent to such an opportunity.

Therefore, for the safety of the Protector, if you want to worship them again, it is better to dig out their bodies from the ground and put them in a coffin to take them to the camp. The Protectors worshipped in the camp. At that time, Meng Feijun swore to other soldiers that they would take the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle back to their hometown. Their relatives also hoped that the bodies could be sent back to their hometown for burial, which would not be considered a disturbance to the fallen soldiers."

Of course, Liu Qi did not want Li Gong to have some trouble. Although the possibility of a great cannibal can take this opportunity to capture Li Gong or severely damage the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is very small, but this is based on strict protection of Li Gong. Usually, Li Gong is relatively simple to protect in the camp. If he leaves the camp and stays in a certain place for a long time, it is not easy to protect it completely, and it is very troublesome. Liu Qi doesn't want to worry about it.

"Don't say this to me!" Li Gong said, "I'm not going to stay there for one night, but I just went to worship and returned to the camp in half an hour. How can the cannibals respond? Even if I want to mobilize troops to kill me on the river bank, there is no time!"

"I don't care what you do. The next day, the next morning, I'm going to worship them, you can make arrangements." He finally gave a tough order.

"Yes." Since Li Gong ordered rather than discussed, Liu Qi could only agree.

"Don't be bitter. I personally worshipped at the place where they died in battle, which is different from bringing their bodies to the camp to worship. It can boost morale and be beneficial to defeating the cannibals." Li Gong explained again.

"I understand." Liu Qi said again.

"Okay, I have nothing to tell you about, you can step back." Li Gong said a few more words and asked him to step back.

"Yes." Liu Qi agreed and turned around and left the tent.

"Go and call Wang Duwei." After he left, Li Gong ordered a guard.

...

"Protector, the soldiers who ambushed the Dashi Thousand People Team last night have returned to the camp. The instructor Dayi is counting the heads they brought back." As soon as Liu Qi returned to the tent, an escort immediately reported to him.

"I'll talk about this later. Go and take Zhang Xingquan, Meng Feijun, and Lin Juan and Wei Xianghuang under Meng Feijun. No, Lin Juan has been promoted to another general. Anyway, call him." Liu Qi waved his hand impatiently and ordered the guards.

At this time, Zhang Xingquan had been officially appointed as Guo Yi and commanded the army originally led by Liu Qi. Although Meng Fei's army made contributions to the Battle of Oluzhou, there were no vacant seats on it. Although he had added the fifth rank, he was still a different general. Lin Jue'an was promoted to another general, but Wei Xianghuang was still a lieutenant, but he also had the additional title.

"Yes." The guard felt a little strange, but he didn't ask, and agreed to turn around and leave. After a while, the four people who had named him came to the tent and bowed.

"Okay, don't be too polite." Liu Qi interrupted them and asked Meng Feijun, Lin Juan and Wei Xianghuang. "Do you still remember the ambushing of the Dashi Pioneer Army here a year and a half ago and defeating 7,000 people with 500?"

"Will my subordinates forget?" Meng Feijun saw that Liu Qi was not angry and replied with a smile: "That is the most exciting battle that my subordinates have fought so far, and they will never forget it. Is Liu Dupu, wanting to worship them?"

"I still remember the details of that battle clearly at this time, and can even point out where Meng Bie will be lying at that time." Lin Juan also said.

Wei Xianghuang did not speak. Although the ambush of the Dashi Pioneer Army used his soldiers, he did not participate in the battle in person, and it was a little embarrassed when he heard Liu Qi's question.

But he will be able to answer the next question. "How many soldiers under your command who participated in that battle were alive?"

"There are twenty-seven people under his command who are still alive." Wei Xianghuang replied first.

"There are thirty-five people under my subordinates are alive." Lin Juan also replied.

"There are sixty-two people, not a small amount." Liu Qi murmured and said to them and Meng Feijun: "No matter what position your soldiers under your command are currently in charge, or are they still under your command, find them all, and take them with you three to find the place where the people who died in battle were buried, dig out the body, and put them in the coffin.

Don’t worry about coffins. There are many fir trees in the woods that can create many coffins and put the body in them.”

"The Protector, there is no need to be such a trouble. The subordinates brought enough coffins to create 81 coffins." Meng Feijun said immediately.

He did not forget his original vow, and remembered to take the body of the person who died in battle back, and brought the coffin to the entrance of the valley.

"Then I don't have to order the craftsmen to build a coffin. Fortunately, you brought it, otherwise the craftsmen who brought it here would have never made a coffin. The coffin made is not good, and it is not good if the soldiers see it."

Liu Qi also remembered that Meng Feijun had told him about this before leaving, but because he had a lot of things, he no longer cared about the soldiers who died in the battle after the battle between Luzhou City, so he forgot. He suddenly remembered it and said quickly.

"You two will go and find your old subordinates immediately." He leaned on the case and wrote two orders as quickly as possible, stamped his own seal, handed it to Wei Xianghuang and Lin Juan, and ordered at the same time.

"Yes." The two took the order and turned around and left.

"Liu Dupu, when will it be for worshiping them?" After the two left, Meng Feijun asked again. Although Liu Qi did not answer just now, he was sure that he wanted to worship, and it should be a public worship of a huge scale.

"The next day." Liu Qi replied, and said, "Meng Feijun, as the general who led them to ambush the Dashi Camp at that time, you must stand by the coffin and carry the coffin that day."

"Yes." Meng Feijun agreed immediately.

"Zhang Xingquan, although you were not at the forefront at that time, you acted as the chief lieutenant and later confirmed Guoyi's official position, which is their superior. Of course, you must be present on the day of worship, so you stand beside the guardian." Liu Qi said to Zhang Xingquan again.

"Yes." Zhang Xingquan also agreed, but immediately felt something was wrong and asked again: "Protector Liu, should you worship him?"

"It's right. And it's where the soldiers who died in battle are buried."

"That's great!" After hearing Liu Qi's answer, Meng Feijun immediately became excited and said loudly: "The Protector personally worships the 81 dead soldiers in battle. I, I, I, are so kind! "

Compared with Meng Feijun who was very excited, although Zhang Xingquan also showed a smile on his face, he was more regretful and a little puzzled.

‘As a person who led the soldiers to ambush the Dashi Army, Meng Feijun would definitely attract attention even if the Dushi Army no longer rewarded him. The Dushi Army would remember a merit in his heart. He would definitely be promoted to the position of promotion next time. If I was the one who led the soldiers to ambush the Dashi Army at that time, I might be promoted to the commander.

But why did the Dumai guards go to worship in person? We ambushed the Dashi Army and led our troops back to our Luzhou City. At that time, the Dumai guards criticized Meng Feijun and did not commend his merits. Why did they suddenly worship the soldiers who died in battle?’

If Liu Qi could hear Zhang Xingquan's voice, he would definitely sneer at him: "With your level of thinking, you can't be the chief lieutenant."

The reason for criticizing Meng Feijun at that time was very simple, warning all generals to obey military orders and not to go to war without authorization in order to make meritorious service.

But the situation had already changed at this time. After the battlefield influence of the Battle of Luzhou, the generals had learned to obey orders and would not fight without authorization. Because many new recruits who had no enemies with the cannibals entered the army, morale was reduced. In order to boost morale and boost the morale of the army, they had to publicly worship the soldiers who died in battle.

"One of you is Guoyi and the other is a different general. You must pay attention to your clothes in the future. The armor must be worn neatly. You must wear everything you should wear when fighting with the Great Food Soldiers. But don't wipe it very cleanly, it is best to leave some traces after the battle. And..." Liu Qi told him again, and the two nodded from time to time to agree.

"Okay, I have nothing else to tell you. Go back and prepare." Liu Qi said at the end.

"Yes." The two agreed and bowed and retreated.

"Slowly! Zhang Xingquan, stay." He remembered another thing and called Zhang Xingquan.

"Since you have to go out to the camp once, you have to follow the guards, and your soldiers will protect the guards. After you go back, you tell all other generals and lieutenants about this and make them ready; but don't tell the brigade commander that the team is in contact with the soldiers, in case the news is leaked in advance and the cannibals will be known. Do you know?" Liu Qi ordered.

"Protector Liu, mobilize all his soldiers to protect him?"

“Yes, what?”

"This is too many people." Zhang Xingquan said. Although he was just Guoyi, the commanding army inherited from Liu Qi. Although he suffered heavy losses in Luzhou City, he was quickly replenished after the war, with more than 5,000 troops and a large number of people.

"How wide is the road along the river? Three or five hundred people are enough to block the road tightly, so there is no need to send so many people." He said again.

"It is necessary to ensure that the protection of the capital is foolproof! If the protection of the capital is incorrect, the consequences will be unimaginable! We must use the most stringent means to protect it!" Liu Qi said amplified his voice.

"Forget it, if you can say such words, the guards cannot be handed over to you. That day I personally direct the soldiers to protect the Protector." After a pause, he said again.

"Yes." Zhang Xingquan felt a little wronged. He was deprived of command after just asking a question. Even if it was only one day, even if he lost face in front of outsiders, he was not happy. However, although his political thoughts did not meet the standards, he knew the worldly ways and did not show any grievance or reluctance on his face.

Liu Qi was busy with a lot of things at this time, and he didn't care about guessing Zhang Xingquan's thoughts. He ordered him to retreat. Then he said to the guards: "Go and call Gu Guoyi, and I will talk to him about the transfer of the ship."

...

...

"Ziyad, you're doing a good job." Meanwhile, in the Dashi camp, Gyposilin said to Saleh with a smile.

"I can't afford to be the governor to say this." Saleh immediately responded: "If my performance is not bad during the day, then the performance of the patriotic night would be very bad. A complete thousand-man team was surrounded by Qin's army. Although it was not completely wiped out by Qin's man because of his familiarity with the terrain and the darkness, it also lost more than 400 people.

Both day and night are counted. The casualties of our army are similar to those of Qin Na's army. I actually tied with Liu Qi, which is not worthy of the praise of the governor."

He was not deliberately modest in front of Bingbo Silin. He really thought so, thinking that his command yesterday was not good and not worthy of praise.

"It's good to be able to play a draw." Bingbo Silin still smiled, still not even saying anything about blaming Saleh.

"We have checked Liu Qi's past experience. Although he rose quickly and was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a captain in just four years, he did not rely on nepotism. Every step has real contributions and military achievements. This is enough to show that he is a natural genius in command. It is already very good to be able to tie him.

Moreover, the purpose of our army in this battle is to defend the valley entrance and not be captured by the Qin army. Your command has achieved this goal very well.

Of course I want to praise you if I have the above two points."

"Governor, my subordinates still feel that they can't afford it." Saleh said, and his expression seemed to be even worse.
