Gazing at the old, slightly yellowed map in his hands, he could clearly see the locations of various cities and roads marked upon it. Their target for this military campaign was none other than White Horse City.
After careful observation and calculation, it became evident that to reach the legendary White Horse City, they would need to continue traveling northwest for quite a distance. Standing at the forefront, Lu Yong stared intently at the marked location on the map, nodding thoughtfully before speaking gravely, "In my opinion, taking White Horse City will be a tough battle! Capturing it will not be an easy task."
Lin Feng, standing nearby, wholeheartedly agreed. He recalled how when they had set out from Tongguan, Si Tu Xuan had specifically warned them that due to its unique geographical position adjacent to the capital of Jing Kingdom, White Horse City's defenses would be extremely tight and not easily breached.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Feng decisively said, "If that's the case, then we might as well abandon the attack on White Horse City. There's no need to waste too many troops and time here."
Hearing this, Lu Yong was taken aback and quickly asked, "Why have you suddenly decided against going there?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly and explained with confidence, "We have just entered Uto City; our immediate priority should be to stabilize the hearts of the people within the city. I have a plan. We can send people out to spread some rumors claiming that Uto City has already been successfully captured by our Wu Kingdom. Once this news spreads, it will surely cause a great stir and create significant upheaval."
As for how Jing Emperor would react upon hearing this news—what do you think?
Lu Yong scratched his head, pondering for a while but unable to guess what actions Jing Emperor might take. Seeing Lu Yong's puzzled expression, Lin Feng smiled as he revealed the answer: "Based on my speculation, Jing Emperor is very likely to send a large army to retake Uto City. After all, Uto City is crucial for Jing Kingdom; he certainly won't sit idly by."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yong suddenly understood and slapped his forehead excitedly, exclaiming, "Right! This plan is brilliant!"
After discussing their strategy further, Lin Feng ordered that measures be taken to reassure the citizens within the city.
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. During these days, everyone in the city worked together diligently; through constant reassurance and effort, order gradually returned from the previous chaos and panic.
The tense atmosphere that had once permeated the streets—one that felt as if war could break out at any moment—slowly dissipated, replaced by a relatively peaceful and harmonious scene.
Lin Feng felt quite satisfied with this change. Witnessing the city regain its vitality filled him with an indescribable sense of comfort. His treatment of the citizens within the city and his respectful burial of Hulanmu earned him a measure of goodwill among those from Jing Kingdom.
Meanwhile, far away in Jing Kingdom, turbulent winds were rising as unrest swept through the region.
The atmosphere within Yasukuni Palace was particularly heavy. When the Jing Emperor learned of the news from Uto City, he was utterly shocked. It was hard for him to imagine that, at this very moment, the Wu Kingdom still had the resources to send troops to attack. What was even more unexpected was that not only had they successfully launched an assault, but they had also captured Uto City in one fell swoop.
It should be noted that the defense of this city was entrusted to the seasoned general Hulanmu, a veteran of many battles. The fact that even this experienced commander had fallen in battle spoke volumes about the intensity of the conflict and the strength of the enemy. Once this news spread, it caused a stir throughout the entire Jing Kingdom.
