"General Ning, in this case, I will go to the front to meet General He and them, and I will hand over the qiē here to you. Tao Ziyun immediately said goodbye to Ning Yuan.

"Master Tao, you can go with confidence, I will handle the affairs here with my heart. "Ning Yuanliang has been stationed in this city for a few years, so naturally he won't feel embarrassed.

Tao Ziyun thought about it, and specially explained to Ning Yuanlian: "First of all, ask the doctor to treat the wounded soldiers, and also get the soldiers who died in battle to be buried outside the city." ”

Ning Yuancong replied calmly: "Lord Tao, these two things, the last general has already ordered his subordinates to do them, this is a custom, as soon as the war stops, these things will be done." ”

"That's good, I'll go. Tao Ziyun took the unfinished recital in his hand, called Moss Yu and Yuyuan on the side to talk to Lu Cha in the Lost City, and got up and left.

Ning Yuanliang ordered the horses to be prepared, and brought people to Tao Ziyun to see them off. Until Tao Ziyun and his party rode out of the city gate on horseback, Ning Yuanlian also went up to the city tower, waved and shouted to Tao Ziyun, expressing his intention to send him away.

Outside the city, there were really many Qing soldiers who were busy burying the dead soldiers and carrying the dead Qing soldiers and enemy soldiers to the nearby mountains. This situation continued until the vicinity of the city that the Qing army had just captured.

The gate of the city was opened, and He Lushi came out with a group of ordinary soldiers: "Lord Tao, you have finally arrived!

Tao Ziyun casually asked He Lu Shi: "Look at what you said, it seems that you are looking forward to my arrival." On the eve of the attack, you asked General Ning and me to go to Caodi Pass to deal with affairs!"

He Lushi shook his head lightly, and explained to Tao Ziyun with a wry smile: "Alas, this is all to blame on Prince Jin. We captured this 'Circle Border Castle' in one go, asked the captured enemy soldiers about the situation of the enemy capital, and then discussed with other generals, and I wanted to fight back all the way until we captured the enemy's capital 'Circle Heart Castle'. However, Prince Jin did not agree, for fear of causing a large number of casualties among his men. I'm afraid that the emperor will blame us for acting rashly, and I'm afraid that Lord Tao, you, the superintendent of the imperial history, will take the opportunity to impeach. In this case, I had to change my mind and invite you, Master Tao, over. ”

"Write a note to the emperor first, please tell the emperor!" Tao Ziyun was not surprised by these situations, and calmly followed He Lushi into the border city.

He Lushi took Tao Ziyun and his party into the yamen of the border city. The generals heard that Tao Ziyun had arrived, and they came in to meet Tao Ziyun one after another, but Prince Jin did not come.

He Lushi asked the generals to sit down. We will solemnly discuss various matters in the meantime. In the end, everyone decided to let Tao Ziyun write a letter to the emperor, and send someone to the capital as soon as possible, so that the emperor could make a decision.

"Alright, now all that's left is for us to defend the city and prevent the enemy from counterattacking. Let's go up to the castle tower and have a look. Under He Lushi's suggestion, the generals followed him up to the city tower facing the direction of the circle.

As far as the eye can see from the castle tower, there is no one in front of you. Perhaps because of the situation brought about by the war, people near the front line avoided it.

"Master Tao, how do you feel?" He Lu Shi came to Tao Ziyun's side and smiled softly. Ask Tao Ziyun easily.

Tao Ziyun still looked into the distance, thinking about it and replied: "There seems to be no movement ahead, after all, it is hidden danger." We are not willing to be invaded by the enemy, and others will not willingly let us take their capital. ”

He Lushi said unconvinced: "They called. We took advantage of the situation to fight back, and this is a matter of course. ”

Tao Ziyun said as calmly as possible: "If they insist on fighting, we will naturally accompany them to the end." If they don't dare to fight again. Let's leave it at that. The war is together, the two sides have casualties on each other, it is not easy to bring up a little child, little by little, looking at the people who have grown up on the battlefield for many years, the result is a knife and a shot, sad. ”

"Well, if you don't have to fight, you won't fight anymore. He Lu Shi solemnly agreed, and muttered in his mouth: "It seems that Prince Jin's concerns are not superfluous, Lord Tao will really take the opportunity to impeach us." ”

Tao Ziyun heard He Lu Shi muttering beside him, and he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, General He, don't think too narrowly, it's not just me who prevents you." After all, we are all under the constraints of the emperor now, and it is necessary to consult the emperor in advance. ”

Zuo Zongtang had been listening to the side, and at this time, he also interjected: "General He, you don't have to worry, if the fight continues, I, Zuo Zongtang, will still take the coffin to fight and be the vanguard of the general! I have the determination to die, as long as there is still a breath left, I will never go to the battlefield!"

"Okay! Mr. Zuo's courage is really commendable! This expedition, Mr. Zuo has already made great contributions, and his performance is quite outstanding! After returning to the court, we must all recommend Mr. Zuo to the emperor and let the emperor reuse Mr. Zuo!" He Lushi received Zuo Zongtang's response at this moment, which reminded him of Zuo Zongtang's bravery and immediately praised him.

"In-laws, good job!" Tao Ziyun also cast an appreciative look at Zuo Zongtang.

Tao Ziyun asked Zuo Zongtang to fight with the army, just to let him have a good appearance, and Zuo Zongtang did this.

All the generals have seen the effect of Zuo Zongtang bringing the coffin to battle, and at this time, someone jokingly said to Tao Ziyun: "Master Tao, Mr. Zuo has a good start! If you lead the troops to battle, what will you do?"

"I don't want to copy my in-laws' practices, let my in-laws enjoy this patent exclusively!" Tao Ziyun thought about it, and had his own plan: "I went to Liyuan Country to participate in the war against the stun beast, and I also saw that many soldiers of the Qing Dynasty died in the war, and like in this war, many soldiers died in battle, and we couldn't bury them and let them be buried in the ground, and there was no coffin." I have now decided that if I lead my troops into battle in the future, I will choose a general who uses hoes, shovels, and pickaxes as weapons as my generals. ”

"Oh, then you'll have to pick your lieutenant from among the farmers who use those tools. He Lu Shi was also interested in Tao Ziyun's decision, and he asked Tao Ziyun with great interest: "Master Tao, what can the general who uses hoes, shovels, and pickaxes do for you?"

"Haven't you heard this? I think that the soldiers who died fighting for the country are respectable and lovely people, and I want to be the same as the soldiers who fought for the country, if I die in battle, the adjutant general will bury me in time with tools such as hoes, shovels, and pickaxes! I don't want a coffin, I have this kind of open-minded spirit of 'burying me when I die'!" Tao Ziyun's statement immediately caused an uproar! (To be continued......
