Chapter 659 The follow-up to Shi Nai's death (2)
"Please agree with Brother Liu." Danfu kowtowed heavily.
"What are you doing!" Liu Qi hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up.
Danfu fought a battle around noon and had been crying for several hours. Moreover, the rice and water have not yet entered, and his body has become weak and was helped up by Liu Qi.
"Please agree with Brother Liu." But although he was helped up, he still stared at Liu Qi and shouted.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will agree!" Liu Qi signaled to a guard to bring a chair, then helped him to sit down, and then said:
"How can I not know Shi Nai! I have known all the contributions I have made to the wars he fought.
Moreover, there were not many soldiers in the army who fought all the way from Ohluzhou to this place. If he died in battle, of course I would hold a funeral in the army. Not only would it be held, but it would also be held grandly to commemorate him and to other soldiers who died in battle."
"Thank you, Brother Liu!" Danfu said, and was about to kneel down again.
"Sit down!" Liu Qi reached out and pressed him down and continued: "Holding a funeral for them is not a waste of time, it is what he should have done.
As for money, how could I use your money to hold a funeral? What do you think of me? A profit-oriented vendor cannot be a profit-oriented one!" Liu Qi finally pretended to be angry.
"I was wrong, please punish Brother Liu." Danfu said quickly.
"I'll spare you this time. Don't make it again. I won't forgive you if you make such a mistake again."
“Yes, yes.”
"You and Cao Fanghao put the corpses of soldiers who died in this battle together. You must keep them carefully. No body is allowed to be damaged before the funeral." Liu Qi instructed again.
"Brother Liu, don't worry, I will keep it well! If there is a damage, Brother Liu will cut off my head and pay tribute to them!"
"This is not enough, just be careful."
Liu Qi told Danfu again that there was nothing else to ask him to go back. Before he left, he said in a sad tone: "Sorry, don't ruin your body. What you said just now, you have to avenge Shi Nai personally. If your body is broken, you can't avenge yourself."
"I remember." Danfu wanted to cry again when he heard this, but finally managed to hold it back, agreed and left the tent.
"It's really sad for those who hear it, but the listener cryes." Danfu left the tent with his front foot, and two guards helped Li Gong to the front tent. After sitting down on the chair, Li Gong said with emotion:
"I really hope that if our Anxi soldiers die, they will be able to return to their hometown safely."
Liu Qi looked at him and saw tears on the corner of Li Gong's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Brother Feng is talking about it. Not only Brother Feng, but I even shed a few tears.
After that, I would not need to be a pioneer except for the cavalry. The whole army would tie up a hedgehog to march towards Kufa.
Attacking Kufa City, we also let the soldiers of the nine Zhaowu countries and the Persian soldiers be the vanguard, and then use the soldiers to fight the Dashi Army if they have almost consumed it."
"This is right." Li Gong said: "We have already marched here and it is impossible to retreat. We can only use them as vanguards to reduce casualties in the soldiers in the city.
However, when I listen to you, although I am sad, I can also find a way to make use of this time when I am sad."
"Why can't I understand Brother Feng's words?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid!" Li Gong said angrily: "You promised to hold a funeral for Shi Nai and the soldiers who died in battle. Don't tell me that I was moved by Danfu.
Danfu and you are old acquaintances. If Danfu died in battle, others might impress you, but Shi Nai died in battle and Danfu said that, you would not be impressed. You must have ulterior motives for your promise to hold a funeral."
"Brother Feng, the word 'ulterior motive' is not used well. Although I have other purposes, can I comfort Danfu and other soldiers?" Liu Qi said with a grievance.
"In my opinion, you do this, one is to appease Danfu and others, and the other is to boost the morale of the entire army." Li Gong ignored his words and analyzed.
"Brother Feng said it well. I did this to boost the morale of the entire army." Liu Qi sat opposite Li Gong and said seriously:
"Brother Feng, you know that in your eyes, since the Battle of Khorasan, the force that the whole army has been in the past is about to break the enemy's death with the big food soldiers and fish, and the force that will kill the big food people is getting smaller and smaller."
"I know naturally, but this is very normal." Li Gong said:
"All the soldiers and generals who had committed evil in Anxi were basically dead except for Bingbo Silin himself. The few soldiers who had not died had done much evil. The soldiers felt that the revenge had been avenged, and it was normal for them to kill the big cannibals to be less motivated."
"I understand it is normal, but this is not good for our army to continue to fight with the Great Food Army." Liu Qi said:
"Brother Feng, you know the situation when we were fighting in Qom City. Because of the loss of energy, everyone's combat power was significantly weakened. At that time, when the attack on the south gate of Qom City, if the soldiers had the energy to fight in the battle of Luzhou, how could it be that they could not be defeated after a long time, and the entire army would be almost doomed?
After the war in Kumu City, the performance of the soldiers did not improve. If they were still the same when they attacked Kufa City, the soldiers of the Jiuxian Kingdom of Zhaowu and the Persian soldiers might not have made all their efforts, and it would be difficult for us to capture Kufa City.
In order to boost morale, increase the possibility of seizing Kufa City, and to alleviate death and injury, an event must be held to remind the soldiers of their comrades who died at the hands of the Great Food Soldiers in the past, and to rekindle their anger towards the Great Food Soldiers.
I was thinking about the reason for holding this event, but this happened. I was naturally saddened by the dozens of soldiers who died in battle and over a hundred injured soldiers, but I also breathed a sigh of relief: There is no need to think about the reasons anymore." Liu Qi said at the end.
"Do you think that holding a grand funeral can arouse how much anger and how much morale can be boosted?" Li Gong asked after hearing this.
"I don't know." Liu Qi shook his head: "I have never done this in the past, and I can't guess how useful it is.
But even if it only boosts a little bit, it is better than now.”
"You're talking about it." Li Gong nodded and said, "I've allowed this."
"Thank you, Brother Feng."
"I not only allow this matter, but also preside over it myself." Li Gong said again.
"This, Brother Feng, can your body bear it?"
"I'm just staying outside the tent and outside the carriage for a while. It's been nearly April now, and the weather is warming up, so it's OK."
"But……"
"Not much! I must preside over it myself."
"Yes. I'll go and give orders now." Liu Qi said, and had already walked out of the tent.
'No need to be so anxious. It's not too late to give orders tomorrow.' Li Gong's words were not too late. Liu Qi had already walked out. He could only hold it in his heart and said softly: "Liu Qi, don't blame me for stealing this errand. This may be the last thing I hosted."
