The reason why Lu Yuan used this trick was because he didn't want his soldiers to suffer too many casualties. While he can easily kill enemy troops, his subordinates are not.

After the defenders of the south gate were defeated, the thieves from other gates in the city immediately swarmed to fight with Lu Yuan's army.

They deceived Lu Yuan into having few soldiers, in a vain attempt to completely defeat Lu Yuan with the tactics of a sea of people. But in the battle, Lu Yuan's brave and unrivaled offensive defeated the thieves and soldiers.

However, Lu Yuan also knew very well that he would not be able to completely recover Changning with his own horses. There is an extremely powerful defensive array in the inner walls of Changning City, and if it is attacked, it will only suffer heavy losses.

After a fierce battle, the Lushan army killed 30,000 thieves and lost 1,000 themselves.

When Lu Yuan saw that the goal was completed, he led the crowd to retreat in an orderly manner.

After this battle, Shi Xue'an in the southeast had more worries about Changning's nest and had another layer of scruples about Lu Shan.

He withdrew part of the army attacking Jianghuai and returned to defend Changning. In this way, the pressure on Zhang Xun, the Jianghuai guard, was suddenly reduced.

Everyone returned to Lushan, and Lu Yuan received a report from the Jianghuai line: Zhang Xun defended the Jianghuai Canal and fought to the death. Lu Yuan looked at this tip-off, and secretly said in his heart: "General Zhang, you must hold on!"

Just as he was thinking about this, a familiar laugh suddenly came from outside the council chamber: "Hahahaha! Big nephew, I'm out of the customs!"

As the laughter fell, Qing Qiuzi had already walked steadily into the hall.

Lu Yuan saw that his spirit was extremely good, and he seemed to be much younger, and the subtle lightning flashing in his eyes showed his current cultivation - the Sixth Order Dan Emperor!

"Haha! Congratulations to Uncle Shi on his promotion to the Danhuang Emperor! Lu Yuan happily walked down and arched his hand.

"You kid found a good place, the Xuan Qi here is extraordinarily sufficient, and I didn't spend much effort to break through."

"Uncle Shi, with you, a sixth-order cultivator, our chances of victory are much greater."

"Hey, it's your young man's business, and I can only help you with the logistics."

Lu Yuan smiled, "Don't be modest. Without you, the logistics director, how could our Lu Shan's strength become stronger and stronger? Moreover, the elixir you have refined will indeed allow us to take the initiative in battle."

Qing Qiuzi patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "I'm looking forward to finishing the battle as soon as possible, and let's go back to Changning."

"Do you still want to continue the frontier?"

"Front, that's still going to be continued, but not the main thing. After my cultivation is improved, I will be able to refine many powerful pills that I couldn't refine before. It's a lot of fun!" Qingqiuzi said.

"Okay! That junior, thanks to you!"

"Hahahaha! You're going to be flamboyant!"

Just as the two were laughing, another person walked in:

"Yo, what do you say? So happy."

When the two of them saw it, they were immediately happy!

"Brother Qinglian, such a coincidence? You're out of the customs too!"

"Congratulations to Uncle Shi for getting out!" Lu Yuan hugged his fists.

Li Qinglian has already cultivated to the third-order Dao Venerable this time.

He pulled over a chair and sat down, "I have already broken through to the third order a few days ago, and I have comprehended new sword skills in it in the past two days, so I came out a little late."

Li Qinglian's Taoist master combined the power of the five elements with the sword, and took the path of the "Sword Sect".

"Uncle Shi, I heard that your master is Pei Hao, the first swordsman of Dayu?"

"Not bad. He's the first swordsman, so I'm the second swordsman." Li Qinglian's beard curled, amusing Lu Yuan.

"You two came out at the right time, and we still have a lot of things to do."

While chatting, the Beiting informant sent another informant.
