After completing this task, Ding Tong looked at Li Guang and asked:

"What are General Li's next plans? Will he return to the imperial court?"

Li Guang shook his head and said:

"I plan to rest for a day in Panzhou City, and tomorrow I will lead a large army to Shuixian Village to join forces with the soldiers of Shuixian Village and attack Sullivan's army."

If we can eliminate the barbarian troops there, the war in the Central Plains will be over, and the people can live in peace and prosperity.

Ding Tong nodded. He knew Li Guang's talent; if Sullivan were to encounter Li Guang, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

At this moment, Meng Liang spoke up: "My dear son-in-law, this time I will lead 20,000 Tengjia soldiers to accompany you to Shuixian Village and lend you a helping hand."

Li Guang immediately became excited and said, "With my father accompanying me to Narcissus Village, Sullivan will suffer a crushing defeat."

“Of course, the Tengjia soldiers are not at an advantage when fighting against the Jin soldiers, but they are more than enough to deal with the barbarian soldiers,” Meng Liang said excitedly.

News of the annihilation of 100,000 Jin soldiers in the Panzhou region spread quickly, and refugees began to return. It wouldn't be long before the Panzhou region returned to normal.

After a day of rest, Li Guang, along with Yue Heng, led 10,000 troops and Meng Liang's 20,000 elite soldiers out of Panzhou City and headed towards Shuixian Village.

There were still refugees on the road, so Li Guang ordered his soldiers to spread the word along the way that 100,000 Jin soldiers had been wiped out and the entire Panzhou had been recovered.

Because many refugees on the road came from Panzhou, they were very excited to hear that Panzhou had been recovered and immediately turned back.

People spread the news quickly, and with the army's continuous propaganda, more and more people learned of the exciting news that the Jin army had been defeated and Panzhou had been recovered.

Because Meng Liang was eager to see Yao Yao, the army moved very quickly, and in less than ten days, the army approached the Qing'an Prefecture area.

That day, a scout reported that a barbarian camp had been discovered in Wulitun, more than 200 li away from Qing'an Prefecture.

This must be Sullivan's army. They didn't go to Narcissus Village, but instead stationed themselves here. They must have encountered some resistance.

If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor should have returned to the capital. After so much time, the news of the capital's recapture is already known to everyone.

Ahead should be the army from Shuixian Village, who are confronting the barbarian soldiers. Thinking of this, Li Guang felt a surge of excitement.

He told Yue Heng and Meng Liang to rest on the spot and not to act rashly, while he himself went around the enemy's camp to see the situation ahead before making a decision.

After arranging everything, Li Guang spurred his horse, and Di Nu, like a bolt of lightning, quickly disappeared from sight.

The speed of the horse was so great that Meng Liang was stunned.

Seeing Meng Liang's expression, Yue Heng couldn't help but laugh and said:

"General Li's horse, Di Nu, is a true steed, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day. It can bypass the enemy's camp and get to know the situation ahead in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"I never imagined that there really were BMWs that could travel a thousand miles a day. This has truly broadened my horizons," Meng Liang exclaimed.

As for Li Guang, he rode his horse to a small hill about ten miles away from the barbarian camp and took out his binoculars to carefully observe the situation of the barbarian camp.

Based on the size of the camp, the number of barbarian soldiers should be around 50,000. Li Guang knew that this should be all of Sullivan's troops.

But what Li Guang saw next surprised him. Through his telescope, he saw the barbarian soldiers packing their belongings and beginning to break camp.

This was clearly a retreat by the barbarian soldiers, but they weren't packing up their equipment in a big way. They were only doing this in the middle and rear of the camp, and there was no sign of it from the front.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sullivan's army should quietly withdraw during the night and then head north.

Perhaps it was when news of the Jin army's defeat in Panzhou reached here that Sullivan felt the situation was hopeless. If things continued, his army would suffer the same fate, so he decided it was better to withdraw as soon as possible.

Trying to escape? Not so easy. I've stumbled upon such a good thing; I must see them off.

It was not yet noon, and there was still plenty of time to make arrangements. With that thought, he spurred his horse forward.

At this moment, Gu Huai was discussing matters with everyone in the camp. During this period, he led 30,000 troops to confront Sullivan's 50,000 troops. The two sides had fought several times without a clear winner, which was already quite an achievement for Gu Huai.

Some time ago, Li Xue and others found the emperor and sent him back to the capital. Gu Huai was finally relieved and prepared to go all out and fight Sullivan.

He set up formations several times in an attempt to lure the barbarian soldiers into a trap, but Sally Wen was cunning and shrewd and wouldn't fall for it. After a while, Gu Huai was at a loss for what to do.

That day, he was discussing countermeasures with Li Xue and others when someone came to report that General Li Guang had arrived and was outside the camp.

Everyone was overjoyed and quickly came out to greet them.

Seeing that Li Guang had arrived alone, they felt a little strange.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Li Guang smiled and said:

“I brought 30,000 troops behind us, about 30 miles from Sullivan’s camp. I came here first to find out the situation here.”

So that's how it is. I remember when Li Guang left Shuixian Village for the border, he only took 5,000 men with him. Now he's back, and he's brought 30,000 troops with him.

"Li Guang, let's go inside the tent and talk," Li Xue said.

"Okay, sis."

At this point, Li Guang no longer concealed anything; his identity was basically public, and there was no need to hide anymore.

After the group entered the military tent and settled down, Gu Huai began to explain the situation to Li Guang. Once Li Guang was certain that the emperor had returned to the capital, he was completely relieved.

Then Li Guang began to recount his experiences during this period, from relieving the siege of Shimengou at the border to rescuing the empress and others.

Then, in cooperation with the Fourth Prince, they recaptured the capital and finally sent troops to Panzhou. After several battles, large and small, they completely annihilated the Jin soldiers in Panzhou before returning to Shuixian Village.

Li Guang's words left everyone speechless. They hadn't expected that Li Guang, after making his rounds, would participate in almost every battle in the Central Plains and play a decisive role.

Without Li Guang's participation, the four armies' resistance against the allied forces would not have been so successful.

Li Xue began to have an idea: he would write down Li Guang's role in this battle in a booklet and personally hand it to the emperor.

This time, we must let the emperor decide for himself whether Li Guang is colluding with the enemy. We hope the emperor will thoroughly investigate this matter and find out who is harming the young prince.

At this point, Gu Huai asked Li Guang what to do next and how to deal with Sullivan.

Li Guang smiled and said:

“Sullivan’s time to die is up. We can capture Sullivan alive tonight.”

Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Li Guang what his plan was.

Li Guang then told everyone about the situation in the barbarian camp. Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately overjoyed. They hadn't expected Sullivan to be leaving that night, which would be a perfect opportunity to pursue and eliminate the barbarian soldiers.
