Bai Yutian and Zhao Chuxue both looked shocked, frightened by Yuncheng's plan.
Fortunately, Yuncheng is one of our own. If Yuncheng were an enemy, I don't know how much trouble it would cause to Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian made a decisive decision and wrote to Jing Ling overnight, telling Jing Ling that the situation in Nanchuan had calmed down, and that the Zhou court even went a step further, occupying parts of Nanchuan Prefecture and the Weibei Valley, opening up the channel between the Zhou court and the southeastern states.
Now, whether the Zhou Dynasty can return to the imperial court depends entirely on the Fenghuo Camp on the Mingzhou battlefield.
Moreover, he also asked Jing Ling to kill Shi Ziming, even if he had to pay some price.
The letter reached Mingzhou, which immediately cheered up Jing Ling.
He made a bet with Kou Wang to see who could eliminate the threat from the Zhou court first.
Now it seems that Kou Wang has won.
But now that things have come to this, Jing Ling certainly won't complain about anything.
Moreover, he also knew how terrifying the enemy he faced was.
Lin Qi and Gu Chengxuan are tied together, which is far more terrifying than the so-called ten heroes of Shanu Kingdom.
In other words, each of Lin Qi and Gu Chengxuan is equivalent to one of the ten heroes of Shanu Kingdom, or even more so.
Jin Ling's army was stationed on Tianyang Mountain, which was the original site of Hidden Sword Villa. Although there were very few disciples left behind, this place also represented Hidden Sword Villa.
This is the current border between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Dashun Kingdom, and the area east of Tianyang Mountain was captured by the Dashun Kingdom.
Today, Tianyang Mountain is like a nail that is stuck here and cannot be removed.
In addition, Jing Zhao was stationed in the rear as rear reinforcements, forming a horn with Jing Ling, preventing the Dashun army from going any further.
Jing Zhao's grandson's strategy was very successful. Even though Lin Qi was brave and good at fighting, and Gu Chengxuan was strategizing, they have been unable to break through Tianyang Mountain.
Jing Ling didn't know Yuncheng's plan, let alone why Bai Yutian asked him to kill Shi Ziming.
However, he knew that this was Bai Yutian's order, and as a minister, he would definitely carry out the emperor's order.
Today, Jing Ling held another meeting to discuss ways to deal with the enemy.
"Hahaha."
At the beginning of the meeting, Jing Ling did not start nervously as usual, but laughed boldly.
Guan Zheng and others wondered whether it was possible that Jing Ling had been unable to attack for a long time and was crazy about gains and losses.
After all, Jing Ling was awarded the title of Young Marshal Hou De at the age of seventeen, so naturally he would not lose his mind.
The reason why he laughed was because he planned to tell everyone the news that the Nanchuan rebels had been pushed back.
There is no doubt that the Nanchuan rebels were a serious concern for the Zhou court. This defeat greatly damaged the Nanchuan rebels' vitality.
Although Jing Ling did not do it, Jing Ling was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, this news was an encouragement to everyone. In addition to severely damaging the rebels' vitality, it also proved that the Zhou Dynasty court could spare more time to care about the Mingzhou battlefield.
After the news was finished, it was time to discuss how to deal with the enemy.
Jing Ling's bravery and wit can make Jing Ling suffer losses in frontal battlefields, and force Jing Ling to abandon the city to protect himself.
There is no doubt that Gu Chengxuan is a very terrible enemy.
Jing Ling was more afraid of Gu Chengxuan than Lin Qi.
"I have received your Majesty's secret order. Your Majesty requires us to kill Shi Ziming, even if we pay some price."
Jing Ling said to everyone, wanting to hear everyone's opinions.
Everyone had different reactions, most of them were surprised and puzzled.
Shi Ziming invaded Mingzhou and was defeated by Jing Ling, so he stayed behind and did not dare to confront Jing Ling head-on.
Speaking of which, it is really not that easy to kill Shi Ziming.
"Deputy Governor, I wonder why your Majesty asked us to kill Shi Ziming?"
"Deputy Governor, Shi Ziming is not easy to kill, and even if we kill him, it won't be of much help to us."
Now Jing Ling is the deputy governor of Fenghuo Camp. After Jing Zhao abdicates, Jing Ling will be the new commander-in-chief of Fenghuo Camp.
The main enemies they faced were Lin Qi and Gu Chengxuan. As for Shi Ziming, they were not that important.
Although Shi Ziming also has some ability, he is no match for Jing Ling.
When Lin Qi arrived, he was almost caught by Jing Ling.
"This is His Majesty's will. Naturally, His Majesty has his plans. We just need to implement them."
Jing Ling believed in Bai Yutian very much and said categorically.
Seeing what Jing Ling said, everyone felt helpless and could only discuss how to deal with Shi Ziming.
After discussion, they believed that if they wanted to kill Shi Ziming, they must take the initiative to attack the enemy.
Moreover, someone needs to be used as a bait to attract the enemy's main force, and then the remaining people will invade the enemy's camp, look for Shi Ziming, and kill him.
Naturally, the task of attracting the enemy's main force is full of dangers, and you might end up dying without a burial place.
"I'll attract the enemy's main force!" A fierce general volunteered.
This person is none other than Xu Hu, who was originally Jing Zhao's lieutenant and now assists Jing Ling.
"General Xu, I am young and strong, and have a lot of strength. Why don't you let me attract the main force of the enemy army." Guan Zheng on the side also took the initiative to speak, his eyes full of determination.
He has grown from a pawn in Fenghuo Camp to now being Jing Ling's right-hand man.
"Hey, you kid looks down on me, don't you? If you go out for a while and make some gestures, I promise to make you lie down on the ground." Xu Hu said unconvinced.
In fact, he knew that Guan Zheng only wanted to die on his behalf, but he was also an iron-blooded soldier and had long been prepared to die, so he was not to be outdone.
"Shut up!" Jing Ling shouted, his tone full of oppression.
Jing Ling stood up from his seat and scanned everyone with his sharp eyes.
"I'm going to attract the enemy's main force."
"Deputy Governor, you can't do that."
"no!"
As soon as Jing Ling finished speaking, he was rejected by everyone.
Jing Ling is the deputy governor of Fenghuo Camp and the backbone of everyone. They don't want any accidents to happen to Jing Ling.
"I have made up my mind. Don't forget, our opponent is very formidable. Apart from me, the enemy troops may not be attracted."
Jing Ling also thought carefully and after several battles, he knew that the enemy was terrible and he would never be fooled so easily.
He has also fought many battles, and he thinks this battle is the most difficult battle in his military career.
There are a total of 60,000 Fenghuo camp soldiers on Tianyang Mountain. For this operation, Jing Ling decided to go out in full force.
He sent a message to his grandfather Jing Zhao to be vigilant at all times and to retreat immediately if Tianyang Mountain was lost.
Even if we withdraw from Mingzhou, we must preserve our strength.
Jing Ling made a detailed and thorough plan for this operation. He personally led an army of 50,000 to attack the enemy camp at night, then pretended to retreat and attracted all the enemies out.
Xu Hu led five thousand men to ambush at the foot of Tianyang Mountain to meet Jing Ling and others.
Guan Zheng took the opportunity to lead the remaining five thousand men to attack the rear of the enemy camp, find Shi Ziming, and kill him.
