Escape after crossing

"Leng Chenming, how do you usually deal with so many corpses?" Jiang Ziluo's voice was serious, which instantly made Leng Chenming's nerves tense.

"We will gather the bodies together and bury them. Any problem?" Leng Chenming looked at Jiang Ziluo's expression, trying to understand her intentions.

“Just bury it with soil?” Jiang Ziluo asked.

Leng Chenming seemed to understand Jiang Ziluo's concerns. He thought for a moment and replied, "Before burying, we will sprinkle a thick layer of white ash. This is a traditional way to bury a large number of dead people."

Jiang Ziluo's eyes became more serious, and she seemed to be thinking about something important. Leng Chenming looked at her quietly, looking forward to her next words.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Can doing this really prevent the plague from happening?" Jiang Ziluo's question made Leng Chenming feel a chill running through his whole body.

He took a deep breath and explained seriously: "This is a method we have been using for a long time. History has proven that it can reduce the risk of disease to a certain extent. But it is true that absolute safety cannot be guaranteed."

Jiang Ziluo frowned slightly and fell silent. Leng Chenming sensed her inner worry and began to think about the seriousness of the problem.

Jiang Ziluo thought about it over and over again in his heart, and after some struggle, he finally decided to inform Leng Chenming about the relevant matters of cremation.

"Leng Chenming, I have thought of a way to completely prevent the spread of the plague, but this method may be a bit cruel. It may not matter to the enemy, but it is indeed too cruel for those soldiers and their families who fought bravely to defend the border."

Hearing this, Leng Chenming frowned and asked, "What is the solution?"

Jiang Ziluo took a deep breath and said slowly: "The method I'm talking about is cremation. Have you ever heard of this method?"

"Cremation? Do you mean to burn all the soldiers who died on the battlefield? This is absolutely not possible!" Leng Chenming expressed his opposition without hesitation.

Jiang Ziluo knew very well that even in modern society, cremation as a burial method would still be questioned and misunderstood by some people, not to mention in such a distant and ancient era.

Therefore, she did not continue to persuade him, but told Leng Chenming some key issues that he must pay attention to.

Leng Chenming naturally knew that Jiang Ziluo did this entirely because of her care and love for the soldiers in the barracks. So, he immediately sent Xuanyi to implement it again according to what Jiang Ziluo said.

However, Jiang Ziluo came here not just for this one thing. In fact, she had another thing in mind that she wanted to ask Leng Chenming. Therefore, when Xuan Yi left, Jiang Ziluo asked again without hesitation:

"Leng Chenming, I heard that you wrote a letter to the enemy's general. Do you want them to surrender? What are your plans next? Do you want them to cede land and pay compensation? Or sign some kind of agreement? Or some other arrangements?"

These are the knowledge Jiang Ziluo learned from TV, but she is not very clear about the specific operational details.

"I didn't expect you to know all this? Could it be that you already have some wonderful ideas in your mind?" Leng Chenming was already accustomed to the surprises that Jiang Ziluo brought him time and time again. At this moment, he looked at Jiang Ziluo with a somewhat playful expression and asked with a smile.

"Haha, I was thinking that you must have written a detailed military report on Lingxi's defeat to the capital. After the capital knows about it, they will definitely let you take the prince and the captives to negotiate with Lingxi and gain benefits from it.

In the end, you will definitely bring these benefits back to the capital or Lingxi will send people to deliver them directly to the capital. But the soldiers in the army will not get any compensation. They fought hard and sacrificed their lives for the country, but in the end, they got nothing. Is this fair?

Leng Chenming, you are a smart man, can't you see it? You should be very clear about your uncle's style of doing things. If these compensations arrive in Kyoto, those noble families and princes will rush to fight for this piece of fat meat like a group of hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

And you soldiers who fight on the front line can only watch them take away all the benefits, but you get nothing. This is the reality! "

Leng Chenming understood these principles in his heart. He knew his uncle's methods very well. Once these compensations fell into the hands of the dignitaries in the capital, they would not be able to expect any of them to be distributed to the soldiers.

But what could he do? As a general, he had to obey the orders of the court, otherwise he would be disobeying the order.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Leng Chenming asked helplessly. He knew that the person in front of him must have a way to solve this problem.

"The general of Lingxi will definitely stop the war. After all, they are now at the end of their rope. Not only do they have insufficient food and fodder to supply the army, but the second prince has been captured. I believe they have already made some plans in mind. Redeeming the second prince with money is undoubtedly the most convenient and quickest solution.

Even if the emperor of Lingxi tried to find an excuse, claiming that the treasury was empty and could not afford the ransom, the second prince's maternal family would definitely not sit idly by.

Oh, by the way! Is the second prince favored in Lingxi Kingdom? "Jiang Ziluo suddenly realized that he had overlooked such an important question.

However, Leng Chenming was well aware of these situations and informed Jiang Ziluo of all the relevant information. It turned out that the surname of the Lingxi Kingdom was Ji, and the second prince was named Ji Yuze.

He is the son of the imperial concubine, and is currently the prince with the highest status in Lingxi and the one most likely to inherit the throne.

The eldest prince of Lingxi State was born to the queen, but unfortunately, he died at the age of five. Since then, the queen has never been able to give birth again.

In fact, all of this was a conspiracy carefully planned by the Emperor of Lingxi. He did not want to see the Queen's family power continue to expand, so he took advantage of the death of the eldest prince and the Queen's grief to tamper with the Queen's medicine, making it impossible for her to get pregnant again.

So, why did the eldest prince die? In fact, it was not the emperor's own fault. As the saying goes, "even a tiger won't eat its own cubs." The emperor couldn't bear to kill his own flesh and blood. After all, this was his first child!

However, there are various different opinions about the cause of the eldest prince's death. Some say he died of illness; four say he was poisoned; and some even say he was strangled to death.

In short, there are many different opinions and no consensus. The royal family has remained silent on this matter and has not made any clarification or explanation. This mystery still puzzles people and has become an unresolved historical mystery. Perhaps only time can reveal the answer to this mystery and let the truth come to light.

At the same time, the emperor also began to support the Xiao family of the imperial concubine, who had always been at odds with the empress's family. Over the years, the empress's family and the Xiao family have never stopped fighting overtly or covertly, and they have always been tit-for-tat.
