"Especially near Zhending City."
Ding Ling specifically pointed out.
As for other places,
Ding Ling could only express his inability to help.
He was just a single fighter and at most could be considered a Defensive General of a county city.
He didn't have the ability to handle the affairs of the entire Jizhou, let alone manage the Black Mountain bandits that roamed across Bingzhou and Jizhou territories.
The fact that he got them to come out for talks
was because Ding Ling had captured figures like Li Damu and Kushen, who could be said to be leaders within the Black Mountain Army.
If Zhang Feiyan didn't take care of it, morale would surely fall apart, and it would be difficult for him to make unilateral decisions on Black Mountain's big and small matters in the future.
Ding Ling saw through this point, so he dared to have Zhao Zhantang take several messengers directly to find Zhang Feiyan for negotiations.
