On the early morning of the third day of the fourth lunar month, accompanied by a series of explosions in Huangming County, the Chinese Army burst out of the mountain pass and recovered this small, ruined node on the Jianmen Pass.

When the Jurchens retreated, they detonated military supplies, and the remaining flames and smoke covered the sky. Demining, firefighting, and clearing landmines lasted for most of the day. Later, troops from the rear arrived one after another. Near dusk, Ning Yi arrived here and summoned Pang Liu'an and other high-ranking military generals to the open ground where demining work had been completed at night.

"The mountain roads are narrow, and the Jurchens' retreat is not fast. According to reports from the scouts who just returned, Boli Speed has set up an iron cannon formation on the mountain three miles away. He is still personally responsible for the rearguard, but Sheyema may have been taken forward by Saba..." Pang Liu'an first reported the main situation at the front, "The cleaning and demining of Huangming County has been initially completed. I can take two regiments of troops to follow up first."

"Zong Han's retreat is very organized. Although it was a disastrous defeat, they roughly figured out the mountain roads of Huangming County and Yushuixi during the previous half month. It is difficult for our scout teams to penetrate. "After Pang Liu'an, Chen Tian, the chief of staff of the Fourth Division, also came with Qu Zhengyan's opinion, "Ten miles past Yushuixi and Huangming County, the intersection is Huangtou Rock. A strong attack on Huangtou Rock can leave some people behind, but we believe that the most important thing at present is no longer the attack on the rear..."

The crowd sat cross-legged on the ground, and Chen Tian said, "After all, if you don't rely on the range of rocket launchers, the Jurchens still have the advantage in defending narrow roads. They are exhausted from the long expedition and want to go back, and their morale has not completely collapsed. If we want to inflict the greatest casualties on them, the division commander believes that the key point lies in taking down Jianmen Pass with a fierce attack - after all, the number of rocket launchers is not much, and good steel should be used on the blade."

"How many rocket launchers are left?" Pang Liu'an asked.

Lin Qiu next to him poked his head, "There are only sixty-three in stock."

Pang Liu'an glared, "So few?"

Chen Tian over there also glared, "Who uses them the most? Our division commander has long said to use them sparingly. Commander Pang, you keep submitting applications to the higher authorities. Our Fourth Division strictly orders them to be used only at the most critical time."

"Old Chen, your Fourth Division is fighting sneak attacks, and we are killing from behind, often fighting head-on. Look, Boli Speed is cunning and ghostly. He disperses the cannons on the mountain and fully blocks the rear. The Jurchens are defeated, but they all want to go back, and their fighting spirit is very tenacious. We can't just do it directly, right? And we also see the opportunity, and we only use it when we have to. We kill more people here..."

"Don't limit yourself to the tactical level, you have to look at the big strategy, Old Pang... Our Division Commander Qu said you are a spendthrift." After Chen Tian finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the side.

Pang Liu'an was amused, "Okay, okay, you can say whatever you want... When I see Qu Zhengyan, I'll let him say it to my face."

As the sun set, the red sunlight from the rear of Huangming County swept over. Ning Yi also laughed, then took the document handed over by Lin Qiu, "Okay, I'll talk about the overall situation."

Everyone nodded and looked over.

"Since the attack was launched in early March, the number of enemies annihilated in the operation to date is close to 11,000. After the blockade of Huangming County and Yushuixi, the number of captured Jin soldiers in the mountains behind is more than 15,600. There are also some who are unwilling to surrender and are now scattered in the nearby desolate mountains. Preliminary estimates are that there should be 3,000 to 5,000 people."

"Strategically speaking, the total force of Wanyan Zonghan's southern expedition this time, starting from the north, was more than 200,000. Now, even if they can really go back, the maximum is less than 100,000, not to mention that Lao Qin is still waiting on the road behind... But we also have our own troubles that we have to pay attention to."

Ning Yi said, "First of all, 20,000 people were captured at Wangyuan Bridge, and more than 30,000 Han troops who rebelled on the front line of Shiling Xiukou need to be resettled. Another 15,000 people were captured in the mountains here, plus the previous captives in Yushuixi and other places... Although the militia and reserve troops in the rear have been mobilized, and training and restraint of the Han troops who have defected are also being done, but I can tell you frankly that we are almost unable to cope with the problem of guarding the prisoners alone."

When talking about being unable to cope, Ning Yi smiled, then restrained himself, "In addition, there is the problem of the thousands of people who fell into the mountains. They all came from the north, and now they can't go back and are unwilling to surrender. Some will starve to death in the mountains, and some will come out to cause trouble. Patroling fifty miles of mountain roads requires manpower, and summer is coming. If they set a fire in the mountains, although they will burn themselves to death, it will also be a trouble for us."

"Furthermore, our own attrition was very large in the previous operations. Although it was smoother in March, annihilating 10,000 enemies and capturing 15,000 - this was gnawed down in small-scale operations one after another. Commander Pang also said just now that the enemy has not collapsed, and our casualties are already close to 5,000. We must pay attention."

"Strategically speaking, I talked to you before the start of the war in March. One thing is certain, it is not realistic to keep all these enemies here. We don't have enough manpower. The most ideal state may be to use rocket launchers in a large-scale operation to make them cry, but if we grind them slowly, no matter what the exchange ratio is, we will eventually be suffocated to death. At that time, only those people from the Wu Dynasty will laugh."

"Try to tear off the Jurchens' flesh at the most cost-effective exchange ratio, or kill Zong Han, or pull out his teeth, so that they can go back to the north to have internal strife. This is the most ideal effect we can pursue. So although I also like the heroism of 'pursuing the defeated enemy with remaining courage', after Huangming County, this section to Jianmen Pass is indeed in line with the saying in military strategy that one should not pursue the desperate enemy. So I agree with Qu Zhengyan's idea, and it is better to put the strategic vision on the Jianmen Pass."

"After all, we will still need Jianmen Pass to get out of the mountains in the future, and after leaving Jianmen Pass, the Jurchens still have a long way to go. At that time, we can more easily launch a pursuit and facilitate cooperation with Lao Qin. What do you think?"

Pang Liu'an nodded, "The number of rocket launchers is no longer enough, and I agree to invest it in the strategic goal of capturing Jianmen Pass. However, the pursuit of the Jurchen troops should still continue, otherwise, the Jurchens will destroy all the roads."

After the others also expressed their agreement, Ning Yi also nodded, "Dispatch a batch of manpower to continue the pursuit and give them some pressure, but don't get dragged into the water. Chen Tian, you inform Qu Zhengyan to make plans and preparations for a strong capture of Jianmen Pass after the Jurchen troops initially withdraw. Jianmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If a round of attacks fails, Lao Qin's Seventh Army will be isolated outside Jianmen Pass to fight alone. Therefore, this battle must succeed and not fail."

"Yes."

After Chen Tian nodded, Ning Yi was silent for a moment before speaking, "In addition, there is a very important thing that I have to repeat once, or even several times, and it will also be conveyed to the various divisions in writing tomorrow. Stop the abuse of prisoners. It can't happen anymore."

His eyes were serious, and he handed out several sheets of paper to Pang Liu'an, "These are the problems of prisoner abuse found by the military discipline department in the past few days. This is your Second Division. Take a look first. It's shocking. Also, Chen Tian, you have it too."

Pang Liu'an and Chen Tian took the investigation report and looked at it carefully. Ning Yi waited for a while, "You may not agree with my evaluation of being shocked, because they are Jin dogs, with countless blood debts, and they deserve to die..."

Pang Liu'an put down the report, "I have given instructions on these matters, but, to be honest, too many brothers in our division have sacrificed. The remaining people are fighting bravely and want to avenge them, so sometimes, they don't deliberately want to abuse the prisoners. It's already very restrained not to kill those beasts. It's like, forgetting to give them food, forgetting to apply medicine..."

Ning Yi's eyes were serious, "I don't care if the Jurchens will die out. I care about whether our people will turn into beasts! Commander Pang, don't think this is just a small matter, a little vent. This is a major event related to our survival. It's even more important than us defeating Zong Han and chasing all the way!"

"They are all good laborers." Chen Tian whispered next to him.

Ning Yi's eyes swept over everyone, but he shook his head.

"About... more than ten years ago, I first met Zhou Tong in Shandong. He reprimanded his disciple Lin Chong, and later talked to Senior Fu Lu. I still remember one passage in particular. He said that for those who practice martial arts, the important thing is to learn how to hide the knife. Lin Chong is not bloody, and there is no knife in his heart, so that won't work. His other disciples, after practicing martial arts, do whatever they want. The knife has no sheath, and that won't work either."

"When we were in the Wu Dynasty, everyone was dragged down by these things and those things. The army had no combat power, and the soldiers were muddling through their lives, weak and slippery... So I killed the emperor and cut off the retreat. After arriving at Xiaocang River, it was another few years of polishing. When the Xixia people came, someone asked me what Xiaocang River was like... Xiaocang River was like a knife that had been polished for several years. Once it was cut out, no one could stop it."

"Today, the Chinese Army is still such a knife. All the soldiers of the Chinese Army have seen the sharpness of their knife. Today, he abuses prisoners because of brotherhood. What about tomorrow when he is discharged? What about when he is not a soldier? This knife will still be his best weapon, and many people will easily cut off the rules of this world. They will think that they have worked hard to conquer the world, and they should enjoy the world. They will demand a lot of better treatment than others... Everyone, you have read those articles sent from Lin'an, and you just laugh it off, but I tell you, that is not alarmist. If this process is unbalanced, we will go back to the old road that every era is taking."

"When conquering the world, you rely on the army. When sitting in the world, the army wants to enjoy the blessings. The dominance of the military cannot maintain a peaceful and prosperous era. Therefore, in successive dynasties, they began to emphasize civil affairs over military affairs. Do you think that this generation after generation of rotation is only because the literati can say a few nice words? That's because if the power of the military is not curbed, within a hundred years, a dynasty will be filled with warlords and separatist regimes."

"The more capable people are, the more self-discipline they must have and the more attention they pay to being alone. Today, the soldiers of the Chinese Army can easily dominate another person's life with personal power because of the death of their brothers. They will keep this possibility in their hearts. One day, they will go to the local area and encounter such and such things in life. They will see the knife in their hands. Why have I been emphasizing military discipline and holding meetings all these years?

I have been strictly dealing with those who violate discipline. I want them to see that sheath, let them always remember that military discipline is very strict, and when they go to the local area in the future, they will remember that the law is as strict as military discipline! Even if their brothers die, this knife is not allowed to be used indiscriminately!"

"If not, a new class of privileged people will soon be born. When they become people who are one level higher than the common people, they will also bully the village and oppress others. The Jurchens did this. At that time, our regicide rebellion actually did nothing. Today, we say that we have saved the world. Tomorrow, another black flag or red flag will come to defeat us." Ning Yi sneered, "At that time, we may be driven to some small island to survive."

The red sun was setting to the horizon, and Ning Yi paused, "Next, we will face many problems. After the huge attrition in this great war, how can we ensure our own sanity, not be corrupted, and how can we digest the millions, millions, or even tens of millions of people in the places we have conquered..."

He said, "Our roots are in the Chinese Army. I will not allow the emergence of a superior privileged consciousness in the Chinese Army. We are only one step ahead in awakening and know some things first. We will expand productivity through the study of things and let all people in China, regardless of their wealth or status, have food to eat and books to read, so that reading is no longer the exclusive privilege of the privileged class. When the vast majority of people understand the principle of working hard for themselves and fighting for themselves, we will gradually reach a communist society where everyone is equal. At that time, even if there is foreign aggression, everyone will know that they must work hard to fight for themselves. They will not just be numbly enlisting in the army and receiving pay. The generals enjoy privileges and dare not go forward, and the soldiers are not respected and have nothing, so they are defeated at the first touch. I will not allow these things to be repeated."

Everyone listened to these words and was slightly silent. Pang Liu'an said, "I will strictly implement it."

Ning Yi nodded, "Old Pang, I know that such strictness is actually a bit impersonal, because overall, the Chinese Army is already the most disciplined army, but it is still not enough. We have too few people. In the future, when soldiers retire, we also hope that they can participate in all aspects of our society. They will be like the spine and skeleton, supporting the entire society. Therefore, after this battle is over, various studies in the army will be strengthened, and I hope that each of them can become excellent people who can be role models for children. I want such a sense of honor."

"On the other hand," Ning Yi smiled, "Everyone will not be treated badly. After the war, there will be many displaced people who have lost their families. While resettling the population, the army will often open several classes to tell everyone how to get along with girls, how to start a family, and how many children they can have in the future. In fact, everyone has already seen the development of the study of things. Everyone's children will be qualified to read in the future and will become decent people who understand principles and have culture - but all this presupposes, everyone, that the soldiers under your command must have a normal mind. They are not thinking about killing people all day, drinking, making trouble, beating their wives all day... Such people cannot live any good life."

Ning Yi sighed slightly, "Actually, I know that many of us have been ruined by war for a lifetime. Among the army, some people's families have died at the hands of the Jurchens or in more than ten years of displacement... Everyone's life is to live for revenge. It is difficult for many people to start a new life, but at least you have to admit that this world is for normal people to live in. There are still many such young people in the army. Their elders have died and they have encountered very tragic things, but they will still meet a good girl, have two good children, and when they die, see their children and grandchildren full of the hall, and they will pass away with a satisfied mood."

"You have experienced so many things and fought for a lifetime, isn't it for such a result?"

"So everyone, I don't care whether you are normal or abnormal in your heart, whether you can start a new life... or you can't. As officers and elders, for the sake of those under you, maintain military discipline so that they can still return to normal life in the future. If you can't live this life well... let them help you live it. In addition to this, Chen Tian is also right, what good strong laborers, killing them, you can still eat meat?"

The Jurchens ravaged the world, and more than tens of millions of people died directly or indirectly at their hands. In fact, most of the soldiers of the Chinese Army who can go all the way to here without hesitation have their own painful memories hidden in their hearts. And most of those who can reach the high levels of the army are middle-aged people or even close to old age. It is easy to want to start over and imagine themselves or the people around them leaving the army one day? Ning Yi's words poked into people's hearts, and many people were a little touched. He patted his buttocks and stood up.

"In addition, from now on, don't call comrades in the army brothers, although it is kind, but it seems too private." He said, "From today, let's unify it and call them comrades."

The western horizon swallowed half of the red sun, and the remaining sunlight showed a more brilliant and vast magnificence. The red light climbed up the sky, burning the clouds. Boli Speed, who was in the rearguard, Zong Han and Sheyema, who were leaving with the army in the mountains, Xiyin and Qin Shaoqian, who were far outside Jianmen Pass, and even the city of Lin'an and even Jin, which were thousands of miles away, could clearly see this huge red sun that runs through the universe.

How small are people...

But it is precisely such small things that will stage scene after scene of ups and downs, joys and sorrows on this vast land, and even, at certain moments, emit a vast light that is not inferior to this great red sun. That is what human beings want to leave in this universe...
