Dawn shone in the sky, Xu Ping came out of the handsome tent and stretched towards the sky.

Spring is coming, even in the early morning, the wind blowing towards the face does not have a chill. Not far away, the river water of Karochuan is flowing happily, and the grass on the ground has already emerged with green buds, and spring is always full of vitality. But at this time, in the Karochuan Valley, except for the Song army camp, there is no breath of life, and even the birds on the mountain attached have dissipated.

From midnight, Xu Ping told the soldiers not to add fire to the fire, and the fire outside Zhuoluo City became much smaller. Within a few hundred steps around, there were still heat waves rolling and people could not get close to them. The remaining Dangxiang people in the city didn't know what was going on.

Liu Jianji's troops and Zhang Kang's troops had already set up camp and retreated to Lanzhou along the way they came. At this time, there was no longer a need to march from the road. After a big victory, the soldiers of the school looked relaxed and leisurely.

After having breakfast with Wang Kai, Cao Keming and others, he discussed the current situation briefly, and Xu Ping came out.

Shi Quanbin just washed up and was wandering outside the tent alone. When he saw Xu Ping coming out, he hurriedly came over and said, "Jiang Richard, when will he send someone to the city to search? Whether it is dead or alive, this time he must catch Ye Li and go to the beggar and protect him. They have a noble status in Dangxiang and can barely resist Liu, who was trapped in Sanchuankou, and Shi Ershuai!"

Xu Ping looked at the direction of Zhuoluo City and said, "The fire is still not small now, wait until the afternoon. At that time, we will find a way to clear out a city gate and send people to search. Yeli said the night before he met a geek, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers. Of course, he might exaggerate it, but there are always thousands of people. No matter how big the fire is, it is impossible to burn all the people to death. It is best to catch the alive."

Shi Quanbin shook his head: "When the fire is so big, we still feel hot when we stand one mile away. How can the people in the city survive? According to me, I am afraid that there are no living people in the city, and it is hard to say whether the bodies can be separated."

"President, you are not thinking too much. You should go down to the ground when you avoid the fire. The soil around Zhuoluo City is not hard, and in my opinion, many people can survive. No matter what, Yeli met Qi and said that night, there was a saying that God had the virtue of living. If this fire really burned thousands of people, I would have to pay tribute to you before leaving, otherwise I would be uneasy."

Shi Quanbin nodded: "The ruler said that when two armies fought, they had to kill, but burned people to death, there was always a god of heaven."

"The Master said, "My Way is to be consistent, and loyalty and forgiveness are only true. In my opinion, this statement does not only refer to one righteousness. Being loyal to things and forgiveness to others is kind. For the sake of my strategy, I commanded 50,000 troops, crossed the horse-sing mountain, and came to attack the thieves from afar. The thieves refused to surrender, so I had to set fire to the city. Although there were many dead, I was only loyal to the matter. The war was decided, and the remaining foreign soldiers should be properly pacified and buried the dead. This is for forgiveness to others. In the afternoon, I arranged for soldiers to put out the fire, bury the dead foreign soldiers nearby, and pay tribute to them, in the name of benevolence and righteousness of the king's army."

Although Shi Quanbin has been reading and literate since childhood, he does not read poetry, books, and has no resonance with Xu Ping's words, and just nodded.

Xu Ping ignored it and arranged chores in the army. At the same time, he asked Wang Kai to choose a cemetery on the surrounding hills to bury the souls who died in Dangxiang in this battle. Many things are understood without sitting in this position. Why do you still want to calm people's hearts while shouting for beating and killing? While shouting benevolence, righteousness and morality, and wave the butcher's knife in your hand? It is easy to break up the army. If the army is just encouraged to kill, the army will easily lose its soul. The purpose of war is not war, nor of course it is not to eliminate war, but to achieve political goals. War is not a philosophical issue, but a political issue. Without political discipline to restrain it, war will be like a wild horse that has run away from reins, and in the end it is not known where to run.

On the one hand, he was required to fight resolutely and not hesitate to complete military orders. On the other hand, he kept emphasizing political discipline, benevolence, righteousness and morality, and did not allow them to become simple war machines. In this era, Xu Ping had to do this. When treating the army as wild beasts, they would really become wild beasts. The army of the Five Dynasties is an example. The arrogant soldiers and soldiers, they arbitrarily abolished not only the emperor, but also the commander. In this era, Xu Ping could not ask the army to become the people's army, and only benevolence, righteousness and morality were left to restrain them.

Being loyal to things and forgive others is the basic principle set by Xu Ping for this army. He is determined and courageous in war, but always has a kindness and forgiveness to those in war. Without loyalty to things, kindness becomes the kindness of a woman, and without forgiveness to others, loyalty becomes foolish loyalty and tyranny. If you dare not be any side, it is the poison of the army.

Only when the war is fought or the person is killed, and the body is at least buried before leaving is left.

In the afternoon, Jia Kui and others changed into short cloth shirts, each carrying a large bag of water, cleared the remaining dust on the ground, and entered Zhuoluo City from the south gate. At this time, the fire had been extinguished, but the heat was still rolling. Because it was not airtight, the Zhuoluo City walls had been bricked, and the city was much hotter than outside the city. If you didn't walk far, you would feel breathless.

Jia Kui wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and said to the soldiers around him: "Zhi Niang, this city is so hot, how can there be living people? If nothing else, sweat can't stop it?"

A soldier said, "Mr. Yu, I was sweating when I first came in, but now I have lived there. I think the people in the city are the same. When the fire starts, they sweat for a while. After a long time, they will not sweat anymore."

At this time, the sweat on Jia Kui's body slowly stopped and he couldn't help but say, "Hey, it's a big deal! The city is hotter than outside, so why is it not sweating? I used to see that the bricks were full of sweat, but I was deceived."

When the temperature reaches a certain level, people will not sweat anymore, but it is even more uncomfortable to sweat at this time. Only when the workers in the brick cellar come in and out will sweat profusely, and they will not sweat inside the brick cellar.

After standing for a while, Jia Kui felt uncomfortable all over and said, "Don't stand and talk, quickly check around, whether there are any living people, take them out of the city. Stay here for a moment and feel uncomfortable all over!" After that, he led the people around to search.

The city was as quiet as death, and it was difficult to breathe in the heat wave, but there were no strange smells, but there were ferocious dead bodies on the streets of the city, which looked a little scary. Jia Kui thought that going into the city to search was just a walk around, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult in the high temperature, and he would catch a big battle after walking around. The tragic situation of the foreign soldiers in the fire can be imagined from this.

Halfway through the walk, Jia Kui felt really uncomfortable, so he turned to the soldiers around him and said, "No, let's go back and wait until the north city gate is opened together before searching. The city is so hot that something will happen if you walk back and forth."

The soldiers were already unbearable and could only drink water and cool down. But it was a big deal. After drinking water at this time, they could not turn into sweat, and their bodies became more and more uncomfortable. As soon as Jia Kui said it back, everyone agreed.

Not long after walking, a faint cry for help suddenly came from the roadside. Jia Kui turned around and saw a foreign soldier lying on the side of the road, waving to him continuously. He walked forward and saw that the man seemed to have something to say. Jia Kui had no intention of listening at this time? He lifted the person up and hurriedly walked towards the city gate. He couldn't stay in the city anymore.
