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

Lin Kunlun nodded slightly. He understood that at this moment he had to win the support of Tie Feng and other brothers to avoid a split within the team.

"General Tie, you have probably never seen this person before, right?" Lin Kunlun asked casually, but his eyes were fixed on the faces of Tie Feng and the other brothers.

"I have never seen this person." Tie Feng answered firmly, and the old brothers beside him shook their heads. They began to show doubt in their eyes, after all, all this happened too coincidentally.

"You said that General Du is ready to cooperate with us on the other side, so when does he plan to take action?" Lin Kunlun continued to ask, in order to further confirm this person's true identity and purpose.

"General Du... prepare to take action tomorrow!" In that cold late autumn, the man's forehead was actually covered with cold sweat. He tried his best to stop his body from shaking and stay calm.

"Tomorrow? You mean General Du doesn't know that we have arrived here, then how can he be sure to attack Daxiguan tomorrow?" Lin Kunlun stepped forward again and questioned in a majestic voice.

Marshal, although I have never had the honor to serve under you, and you have obviously taken over the position of Marshal Yuan, I know your talent and courage. It is understandable that you have doubts about me today. If I were in the same situation, I would also have doubts. In normal times, the notice issued by Sun Ting has indeed confused many people to join the government and soldiers. The government troops even sent spies to infiltrate our rebel army, using various means that are difficult to guard against. We have learned from our mistakes and are no longer the same as before. You are now in danger and should be more careful. Moreover, we have never met and do not know each other. How can you trust each other easily? Before I came here, I did not even know that this team was under your command. But please rest assured, Marshal, since I have come here, met you and handed over the secret letter, I will not leave. When you break through the Great West Pass, I will go back to report to General Du. If you find any suspicious behavior in the future, whether you skin me, pull out my tendons, or hack me to death with a sword, I will have no complaints and will do whatever you want. However, with the enemy in front of us and the pursuers behind us, if you are so suspicious, how can you achieve your great cause? "After the messenger said this, he seemed to have made up his mind to die, and sat down on the ground with his head tilted to one side.

"I will do whatever you want. I have no complaints! But please let me have a good meal before I die. I haven't eaten a single grain of rice in the past few days. I am really starving!"

Lin Kunlun became more and more curious about the identity of this person. Even if this person really came to deliver information, he was definitely not an ordinary person. After all, this was in ancient times, and education was divided into classes. A farmer who put down his hoe was almost illiterate and could not say such a thing. If it was confirmed that this person was not sent by the officers and soldiers, he could be considered to be included in his command. People like him who are knowledgeable and have a certain cultural literacy are really rare in this era.

At this time, Tie Feng and his men could not stand it anymore and directly ordered to take this person away. After Lin Kunlun's analysis, everyone had already become suspicious of this person. Their operation was full of risks. If they really fell into the trap of the spy, the consequences would be disastrous.

"I thought that coming to you was a bright future for me! I didn't expect that you were so unable to distinguish right from wrong! It seems that you are just a group of hungry bandits and can't accomplish anything great!" The man shouted as he was dragged out.

One of the soldiers who was dragging him punched him on the back and cursed, "Stop talking nonsense! Cutting off your head is already too lenient to you!"

The man said, "Brother! We are both from poor families! I am about to die, why do you still want to humiliate me?"

Lin Kunlun had been observing his performance from the side. Seeing that he was about to be dragged away, he asked, "Do you have any last words? You still refuse to reveal your true identity? If you tell your true identity, you may be able to avoid death!"

The man suddenly smiled.

"It's not a pity for me to die! I was already a worthless life! It's just a pity that all of you will be buried with me! If you still trust me, remember to take action tomorrow, otherwise the troops Du Chong worked so hard to gather will be lost in vain!"

"Marshal Lin! I think this person is still useful! Why don't we detain him temporarily and observe the situation before making a decision!" Mu Feng stood up at this time.

"Just follow General Mu's advice! Give him some food! Make sure he can neither escape nor die! I want to see who he really is!" Lin Kunlun nodded in agreement.

Lin Kunlun looked at the people in the tent. He walked back and forth in the tent several times. He confirmed the information he had just received in his mind.

"Lin Shuai! Is this person really a spy?" Mu Feng asked softly at this time. They had been to the Northeast before, so they knew that it was normal for spies to appear in a war between two armies. The reason why those barbarians were able to find loopholes in the Dakun Border Guard was often due to the spies!

"I'm not completely sure! But this person is definitely not a simple person! Yaozi is an ordinary villager! He definitely can't say what he said just now!" Lin Kunlun thought for a while and answered. Everyone nodded after hearing what he said. It would be difficult for them to say the great truth just now.

"But it's obvious that person knows some information that we don't know!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.

"What news?" Mu Feng asked with some confusion.

"That means the barbarians have entered the Great Wall, and it seems that they have reached the ground of Kyoto! This can be seen from the fact that Sun Ting took away those elite cavalrymen, which shows that the situation over there is very urgent! Another piece of news is that Sun Ting has left! There is no decent commander on this ground!"

"So, is the current commander of Daxiguan the defeated general Zhou Kai? We don't know!" Tie Feng said anxiously.

"Yes, we still have to find a way to figure out the guard situation of Daxiguan!"

"Don't bother. Just watch me whip that kid a few times and see if he tells you anything!"

Lin Kunlun shook his head: "This man has obviously read some books! His identity should not be simple! If he is really sent by the officers and soldiers! He must have a purpose! How about this, you keep him under good care! Maybe this man can play a big role!"

Lin Kunlun's decision surprised the others, but they all understood his intention. At this critical moment, any possible clues could not be easily let go.

"General Mu, General Tie, you go and arrange his custody yourself. Make sure he cannot escape, and at the same time ensure his safety. What we need is his information, not his life." Lin Kunlun ordered in a deep voice.

Mu Feng and Tie Feng looked at each other, nodded, then turned and left to carry out the order.

Lin Kunlun was the only one left in the tent. He sat in the main seat and fell into deep thought. He knew that the next action would be crucial. They had to find out the guard situation of Daxiguan as soon as possible and how much the mysterious man knew.

The night was as dark as ink, slowly falling, shrouding the entire camp in a deep silence. Lin Kunlun stood outside the tent, his figure standing tall beside the campfire. He looked up at the starry night sky, with deep and complex emotions surging in his heart. Uncertainty and expectation intertwined, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, both beautiful and unpredictable.

He knew very well that the upcoming battle was not only about the survival of their team, but also about the future fate of countless lives. Lin Kunlun frowned, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.

However, what Lin Kunlun didn't know was that although Sun Ting had returned to Kyoto, he had carefully laid out a back-up plan before he set off. He specially arranged for Ye Cheng, the governor of Henan County, to lead thousands of elite troops to garrison here. The terrain of Daxiguan is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the addition of this reinforcement army, it is even more powerful and impregnable.

Ye Cheng was no ordinary man, he quickly dispatched several capable officers to lead a group of troops to guard the four cities in the east, west, south and north. Under his strict arrangement, the original garrison was redeployed, mainly responsible for guarding the city gates and conducting strict searches on people entering and leaving.

Ye Cheng's move caused quite a stir. He ordered a thorough search of the entire Daxiguan, and both passers-by and local residents were required to show their IDs. For a time, complaints and doubts arose one after another, and the originally quiet Daxiguan became noisy.

At the same time, news about Zhou Kai was also spreading in Daxiguan. Although Zhou Kai's wife was still hung in a prominent position, Ye Cheng's real purpose was to guard against the rebels from the northwest. The rebels led by Du Chong had entered Henan County, which made Ye Cheng feel more pressured.

Du Chong's whereabouts were erratic, and he always managed to escape the encirclement of officers and soldiers at critical moments. This time, he received an order from Sun Ting and learned that a rebel army was trying to enter Holland County through Daxiguan. Faced with this potential threat, Ye Cheng would naturally not sit idly by, and he was determined to wipe out this group of rebels at Daxiguan. As a result, the entire Daxiguan fell into a tense and solemn atmosphere, and everyone was preparing for the upcoming battle.
