In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Just as Lin Kunlun and his troops were preparing to move to Henan County, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the camp. The soldier on guard rushed into the tent with a panicked look on his face.

"Report to the general! A large number of government troops were spotted outside the mountain!" the soldier reported breathlessly.

"How could this happen!" Yuan Quan frowned, his tone full of confusion and anxiety. "Why are these soldiers following so closely?"

Since they set out, these hundreds of people have been very careful and thought they had successfully shaken off the officers and soldiers who were chasing them. However, to their surprise, these officers and soldiers found their tracks so quickly.

"Have you figured it out? How many soldiers are there?" Lin Kunlun quickly calmed down, and he realized the crux of the matter. Have these soldiers already known about the existence of their 5,000 troops?

"General Lin! We can only judge by the flag signals sent back by the soldiers on guard outside. There are probably more than a thousand officers and soldiers coming this time!" The soldier answered truthfully.

Lin Kunlun nodded and had an idea in his mind: "So, they don't know the actual situation here, otherwise more than a thousand people would not dare to come to encircle and suppress us so easily." Obviously, these officers and soldiers still thought that they were only chasing the remaining remnants of Yuan Quan.

"Brother Lin, we are the ones who have implicated you this time!" Yuan Quan sighed, his face full of apology. During this period of time, they have been hiding from place to place, and wherever they go, they are always quickly found by officers and soldiers because of reports from refugees.

"Sun Ting's methods are really clever!" Lin Kunlun sneered, "Not only did he use the name of disaster relief to divide your men, he also used a high reward to lure people to voluntarily provide clues. However, we also have our advantages - they don't know about the group of people I brought. Perhaps we can use this to do something!"

Tang Hai also joined the discussion, his eyes firm and resolute: "General Lin is right. Although we are small in number, we are all elite soldiers. We can use the night and terrain to give them a head-on blow and let them know that we are not easy to mess with."

"Yes! We can no longer passively take beatings like we did before." Yuan Quan also cheered up. He knew that although the current predicament was severe, it also contained a turning point.

Lin Kunlun smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "We must not only fight back, but also make them mistakenly believe that we are the 5,000 elite soldiers. Only in this way can we completely get rid of their pursuit."

The plan was set, and everyone got busy. On the one hand, they strengthened the defense of the camp to prepare for the upcoming battle; on the other hand, they sent a small team to sneak behind the officers and soldiers, ready to give them a fatal blow at the critical moment.

As night fell, there was silence all around. Lin Kunlun stood on a high point in the camp, staring into the distance. He knew that this battle was not only about their personal life and death, but also about the fate of the entire rebel army. He took a deep breath, tightened the hilt of the knife in his hand, and his heart was filled with determination and strength.

Soon, the vanguard of the soldiers reached the vicinity of the camp. However, they did not attack rashly, but sent out scouts to investigate first. Lin Kunlun had already anticipated this move, and he ordered the soldiers to deliberately expose some flaws so that the scouts would mistakenly believe that this was the camp of the 5,000 elite soldiers.

After the scouts returned to report, the officers and soldiers had indeed fallen into the trap. They thought that the remnants of Yuan Quan were at the end of their rope and it was a good opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop. So they came over in a mighty force, trying to wipe out the "remnants" in one fell swoop.

However, what awaited them was a carefully laid trap. When the officers and soldiers rushed into the camp, they were greeted by a fierce rain of arrows and rolling stones. At the same time, the squad led by Lin Kunlun also rushed over from the rear and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the officers and soldiers.

These officers and soldiers were ambushed, and with the addition of Lin Kunlun's 5000 fresh soldiers, they were beaten back in a short time.

Less than two hundred people were able to escape!

"Everyone, stop chasing! We have to move immediately. If a large group of soldiers arrives, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!" Tang Hai saw that many people wanted to chase the soldiers, so he stood up and shouted to stop them. Lin Kunlun also asked his personal guards to stop them loudly.

All of them stopped chasing at once. The ambush was very successful this time. The officers and soldiers lost eight to nine hundred men.

"Everyone, clean up the battlefield quickly. We will move to Henan County!" Lin Kunlun gave the order naturally. For some reason, the soldiers following Yuan Quan also naturally followed to clean up the battlefield. It was as if Lin Kunlun was the commander-in-chief of this team! Others did not pay attention to this detail, but Tang Hai saw it.

But now Lin Kunlun is stronger than them. And all the food and grass are in the hands of Lin Kunlun's people. They don't have much say at all. But he still has a backup plan. That is, they have sent Du Chong to lead people into Henan County a long time ago. It is not certain who is stronger there. Besides, few of Lin Kunlun's men can fight. Sooner or later, they can only scold them to be recruited.

While they were cleaning up the battlefield, in Guanhe County not far from them, there was an army of more than 2 troops stationed in the county town.

The more than 100 people who escaped fled directly into the county town.

"You mean you were ambushed when you were surrounding Yuan Quan and his men? Do you know how many rebels there are?" Sun Ting, who was sitting in the main seat, never expected that Yuan Quan and his men, who he thought no longer posed a threat, were actually capable of ambush and attack more than 1000 people.

"Since most of them hid in the mountains, we didn't know the exact number! We were ambushed by them when we entered the mountains. The arrows and rolling logs and stones made us lose our fighting power!" The captain who escaped back answered nervously at this time. He didn't know what fate was waiting for him. You know, less than 1000 people escaped from more than 200 people. Even if Sun Ting killed him, no one would say anything.

"That means there could be hundreds of people in Lake View! Or they could be people they hid in advance!" Lu Feng asked as he stood nearby.

"I really don't know! But later some of them rushed out and got close to us! I think there are at least thousands of them!" The colonel who escaped back said anxiously.

"Interesting! It seems that we have underestimated Yuan Quan before! Unfortunately, I don't have time. His Majesty has sent several orders to the secret guards to let me go back to Kyoto! Those barbarians are coming again! I heard that they will soon reach the Kyoto area! Even the Governor of the Southeast, Ma Weidong, has brought his troops to the king!" Sun Ting, the old Minister of War. Although he has been gradually replaced by Yang Chenhe, he has his own news system. A lot of news is sent from Kyoto every day. Otherwise, he dare not leave Kyoto directly.

"Minister Sun! The big issue is in Kyoto! I think we should let the local troops continue to suppress the rebels! Let's go back to Kyoto!" As the leader of the cavalry, Lu Feng had always wanted to fight the barbarians who were known as the strongest soldiers in the world. He was not very interested in these rebels who could not even wear clothes.

"To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country! Although the barbarians entered the Great Wall, they mostly robbed some gold and silver and plundered some people! The real danger to the Dakun Dynasty is these rebels! These rebels seized the opportunity of this drought! If we can't completely deal with Yuan Quan, the most threatening rebel, it is very likely that they will revive! But Your Majesty is in a hurry! How can we deal with them in a short time!" In Sun Ting's view, no matter how powerful Yuan Quan is, he is not his opponent. It's just that he doesn't have enough time.

"Minister Sun, I have a plan, but I don't know if it is feasible or not!" The magistrate of Guanhe County, who had been standing by and serving carefully, said carefully at this time!

"Just say whatever you want to say!" Sun Ting couldn't think of a good solution at this moment. Seeing that the war was about to start in Jindu, it seemed that Yuan Quan and the others might be able to revive.

"As far as I know! Yuan Quan is the descendant of Yuan Chong! What he wants to do most now is to restore his father's reputation! Why don't you invite him out? If he is willing to surrender, everyone will be happy! If not, why don't we take the opportunity to get rid of him! As the saying goes, a snake without a head cannot survive. These rebels are originally a pile of loose sand! It is precisely because of Yuan Quan's identity that they are united! There is nothing to be afraid of in dealing with Yuan Quan's rebel army!"

After hearing this, Sun Ting's eyes flashed with appreciation. The suggestion of the Guanhe County Magistrate was indeed a simple and effective strategy. He nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Your suggestion is very good, I will consider it. However, the most important thing now is to resolve the crisis as soon as possible. We must increase the intensity of the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Quan and his men, and at the same time, we must prevent them from joining forces with other rebels. Only when they know that they are at the end of their rope will they take the initiative to negotiate with us!"

Lu Feng also echoed, "That's right, we must act as soon as possible. Although the situation in Kyoto is urgent, we cannot ignore the threat here. If Yuan Quan and his men really join forces with other rebels, the consequences will be disastrous."

After Sun Ting pondered for a moment, he gave the order: "Pass on my order, have all nearby troops gather together and conduct a carpet search for Yuan Quan and his men. Also, send out scouts to closely monitor their movements, and report to me immediately if they are found."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison and went down to carry out the order.

At the same time, Lin Kunlun and his men also quickly moved after cleaning up the battlefield. They knew that although this ambush was a victory, a large group of officers and soldiers could arrive at any time. In order to ensure safety, they had to leave this place as soon as possible.
