Several days have passed since the last battle in Tancheng.
Since then, although the conflicts between the two sides have intensified, no large-scale war has ever broken out.
The main force of the Dashun Kingdom also retreated to the territory of the Dashun Kingdom, and seemed to have given up on continuing to attack Mingzhou.
Moreover, Kou Wang finally arrived at the northern battlefield.
Bai Yutian also led all the troops and retreated to the vicinity of Mingzhou City.
The remaining Fenghuo Camp troops continued to be stationed in the north, with Xu Hu in charge to prevent Dashun from sneak attacks.
"Your Majesty, General Jing Ling is awake."
Dong Sheng, who looked tired, wiped the cold sweat from his face and said cautiously.
Fortunately, Jing Ling managed to hold on, otherwise he might have been punished.
After Bai Yutian heard the news, he was overjoyed and hurried to the courtyard where Jing Ling was.
Also accompanying him were Kou Wang and others, who were all paying attention to Jing Ling's situation.
Guan was recuperating with Jing Ling in the courtyard. He also learned the news of Jing Ling's awakening immediately and quickly came over to check.
For so many days, Jing Ling's breath has been unstable, and it seems that he can't hold on any longer.
Even people are prepared for the worst.
Fortunately, Jing Ling finally woke up.
"His Majesty!"
When Bai Yutian came to the courtyard, the servants and the imperial doctor quickly saluted.
"Take me to see Jing Ling quickly."
"yes."
Someone immediately stood up and led the way for Bai Yutian and others.
Inside the house, there is a faint smell of vanilla, which makes people feel at ease and relax their spirit.
Guan Zheng saw Bai Yutian coming in and quickly saluted Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian nodded lightly and immediately looked at Jing Ling.
Jing Ling's face was pale and bloodless. He could only open his eyes slightly and looked very tired.
Jing Ling had previously fought head-on with Wu Si at the master level. If his body had not been strong, he would have died long ago.
When Jing Ling saw Queen Bai Yu, she struggled to get up, seemingly intending to salute.
Bai Yutian rushed forward and stopped Jing Ling.
"Jing Ling, rest in peace and recover. The rebel army has been repulsed."
"Don't forget, your grandfather is still waiting for you to return in Tailin."
This sentence touched Jing Ling greatly and made him calm down all of a sudden.
He is the only one in the Jing family now, and he is not married yet and has no children.
If he dies, the bloodline of the Jing family will be completely cut off.
Therefore, he must live.
After going through previous wars, Jing Ling was able to stand alone and behave like a general.
However, he also has the youthful vigor and sharpness of a young man, and many things are too impulsive.
This time, Jing Ling made a mistake in controlling the enemy, which resulted in him being besieged in Tancheng and unable to seek reinforcements.
Jing Ling also blamed himself very much, but no one blamed him.
After all, it is not easy for Jing Ling to be able to do this.
Moreover, Dashun Kingdom did not take any advantage.
"Jing Ling, recover from your injuries quickly."
"I think you don't want to lose to me either. Don't forget that the Nanchuan rebels have been put down."
Kou Wang's eyes were full of worry, but his tone was as relaxed as possible, in order to make Jing Ling feel relieved.
Jing Ling nodded and his expression calmed down.
"Your Majesty, after I recover from my injuries, I will definitely... ahem..."
Before Jing Ling finished speaking, he started coughing, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Bai Yutian immediately became nervous and called the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment while stabilizing Jing Ling.
"You are too seriously injured now, so don't talk too much."
"The purpose of my personal expedition this time is to wipe out the rebels and unify the Zhou Dynasty. You boy, please be honest to me before your injury heals."
Although he said this, Bai Yutian was under great pressure.
Looking at Jing Ling's condition, he probably needs to rest for at least half a year.
As for Guan Zheng, although his situation is a little better than Jing Ling's, his previous forced fight with Deng Hong also left hidden wounds on his body and he had to recuperate for two or three months.
Apart from Kou Wang and others, the only capable generals around him were Tang He and Fan Yonghao.
Although Tang He and Fan Yonghao were newcomers, their performance on the battlefield was heroic and their strength was first-rate.
However, they have relatively little battlefield experience, and they are far inferior to Jing Ling and Kou Wang in terms of military leadership and military matters, and they need more training.
At this time, after the diagnosis by the imperial doctor, Jing Ling's condition was finally stable.
His current situation is not completely out of danger, and he should not be too emotional.
"Your Majesty..." At this time, Jing Ling spoke again.
Bai Yutian was a little unhappy and wanted to stop Jing Ling, but saw Jing Ling's face became cautious and serious.
"Your Majesty, be careful with Gu Chengxuan. I have had contact with this person in Tailin before."
"He appears to be harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he is like a poisonous snake. He usually hides and keeps silent, but when the time is right, he will be fatal."
"The reason why this war is so difficult is because Gu Chengxuan is strategizing behind it."
