This is a dense forest, and Xiao Yuan and a group of soldiers from the attack camp are resting in the forest.

He only had three thousand people, and he was fighting a raid. After success, he could not confront tens of thousands of troops in the wild. That was no different from seeking death. Therefore, he could only hide his whereabouts.

People either sit on the ground or lean against the tree, waiting for news.

"General." Ye Cheng walked over, handed Xiao Yuan a water bag, and said, "I don't know what the situation in Liucheng is now. The brothers sent out to inquire have not come back yet."

Xiao Yuan took it, pulled out the plug and took a few sips, and said, "We have successfully launched a surprise attack. The ghost army has no food. Within three days, we will definitely withdraw our troops. We must believe in Peng Shuang."

They were talking, and at this moment, a spy hurriedly ran over, then knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Yuan, clasped his fists and said, "Report to General, the ghost army has retreated."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was shocked and looked at Ye Cheng: "It seems that Liu Cheng has been guarding!"

The latter was even more excited and couldn't help but say, "General, our troops have 10,000 troops to retreat to 80,000 enemies! It's successful!"

In this war, Xiao Yuanbing was in danger. If he had no other choice, Liucheng would have lost money. Of course, Peng Shuang's side also made an indelible contribution.

When the soldiers below heard the news, they were all even more excited.

When the Ghost Army retreated, Xiao Yuan also began to lead his army back to the city.

At this time, Liucheng was still very cautious. Looking at the soldiers gathered under the city, wearing the same armor as they were on their own, the defenders on the city first widened their eyes, and then they all looked surprised. Some soldiers jumped up excitedly and shouted repeatedly: "General! General! It's General Xiao and the others are back!"

Peng Shuang was also on the city defense, so he naturally saw it. At this time, Xiao Yuan was at the front of the team and began to shout at the top of the city: "Peng Shuang!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Peng Shuang showed excitement on his face and ordered repeatedly: "Keep the city! Open the city quickly!"

As he spoke, he quickly walked off the city defense.

Soon after, the city gate opened, Xiao Yuan led his army in, and Peng Shuang hurriedly came out. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he couldn't help laughing and said, "General, have we succeeded?"

"It's successful!" Xiao Yuan also patted his shoulder and said sincerely: "You have made great contributions to defending Liucheng!"

"This battle is dangerous. If there is no general's surprise attack, it is difficult to retreat." Peng Shuang also said excitedly. This is his personality. He is straightforward. Whoever he likes and hates will be reflected on his face.

Afterwards, everyone walked into the city, and Peng Shuangbian reported to Xiao Yuan about the situation of defending the city, and even stated that if it were not for Liu Yuzhi's help, it would be in danger.

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "As early as when he entered Liucheng, he heard the local people say that the county magistrate Liu Yuzhi is an honest official, loves the people as his son, and has excellent governance. This person is worthy of close friends."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Cheng as if he was remembering something and asked, "By the way, has the military information here been circulated to Shuai Lu?"

"After after the attack on the camp, according to the general's order, the last general reported on his horse and rode a fast horse. I believe that at this time, Shuai Lu should have received the news." Ye Cheng returned.

"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "At this moment, if Lu Shuai received military information, he would definitely retract the front line and use our main force to intercept the important roads. Then the 80,000 ghost troops with no food could not break Liucheng in front of them, and they could not return to the army, starving to death in the wilderness."

"Okay!" Peng Shuang said excitedly after hearing this: "It seems that we will win this war in a full victory."

On their side, they thought Lu Bolin would shrink the front line and intercept the 80,000 ghost troops, but the result was not the case at all.

At this moment, Lu Bolin had indeed received military information. His military deployment was to use Liucheng as bait to lure the main force of the Ghost Army. He himself led his army to recover the city that was previously occupied by the Ghost Clan, and at the same time took advantage of the situation to move forward.

Therefore, the front line between him and Xiao Yuan was different.

At present, Lu Bolin, who had received military information in the central army's tent, is discussing with the generals.

He first looked around for a week, then said straight to the point: "I just received the battle report from Liucheng. Xiao Yuan attacked the enemy camp at night, and the 80,000 ghost troops were destroyed. He had no choice but to retreat."

What!? Hearing this, the generals in the tent couldn't help but look at each other, and many people showed incredible expressions.

Someone said, "Liucheng has actually been guarded!"

Someone else said disdainfully: "Using ten thousand troops to retreat 80,000 enemies is just a lucky one! I can only say that Xiao Yuan is very lucky..."

When the generals were guarding the city in the previous period, all of these generals refused, fearing death, and did not dare to garrison. But now they said this. It can be seen that the top leaders of this army are actually very corrupt.

"Never mind these things now." Lu Bolin interrupted everyone and said, "The key question is that the 80,000 ghost troops have retreated. How should our troops do now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a side general held his fist and said, "After Lu Shuai's plan, our army has now recovered all the lost land, and the main force of the Ghost Army has retreated. From this point of view, it will not take long for the Ghost Clan to seek peace. Therefore, the last general suggests that we should wait for the imperial court's order."

"Well..." The suggestion of the side general was just in line with Lu Bolin's wishes. He nodded slowly and said, "The 80,000 ghost troops have good combat power. If our army intercepts, the enemy will definitely fight to the death to break through the defense line. It is very likely that the support within the ghost tribe will cause us to be attacked from the back and forth."

As he spoke, he sighed softly: "Lu family army, you can't fight like this."

"The last general agrees with Lu Shuai's decision." At this time, many side generals began to agree.

Lu Bolin said again: "This time the imperial court ordered our army to go to war. What we want is also victory of the war, and everything else is irrelevant."

Obviously, this army is his family's foundation, and these minor generals are equivalent to his family's generals, and he wants to preserve his strength.

Lu Bolin was unwilling to intercept the 80,000 ghost troops. His concern was in his own interests. At this moment, he had recovered all the lost lands and the ghost troops began to retreat across the board. This war has been fought for a long time. The ghost troops are alien races. Different from the Central Plains Empire have such a vast territory. If the invasion fails, it is only a matter of time before their peace is made.

Sure enough, not long after, the ghost clan could no longer get any benefits. If he continued to fight, his military strength was no longer supported. He had no choice but to send envoys to the Central Plains to meet with him, expressing his willingness to negotiate peace.

In fact, according to the current situation, the Central Plains can take advantage of the situation to march and annihilate the ghost clan.
