簡子欲得之，陶君不與。
Jianzi wished to obtain the corpses, but the ruler of Tao would not give them up.
承盆疽謂陶君曰：「簡子將掘君之墓以與君之百姓市曰：『踰邑梯城者，將赦之，不者，將掘其墓，朽者揚其灰，未朽者辜其尸。
Cheng Pen Ju97 thereupon spoke to the Tao ruler as follows: “Jianzi intends to dig up your grave sites in order to strike the following bargain with your people: ‘Those who scale the wall with ladders [in order to surrender] will be pardoned, but I shall dig up the grave plots of those who do not.
』」陶君懼，謂效二人之尸以為和。
The ashes of the bodies that have decayed will be scattered to the wind, and the bodies that have not decayed shall be pulled to pieces.” The Tao ruler was alarmed at this and asked to give back the corpses in return for a peace agreement.
