Chapter 232 Yuan Quan Surrenders
"Brother Tang Hai, I understand your concerns." Sun Ting nodded slightly, his expression serious and deep. His eyes were firm, as if silently telling Tang Hai that he was willing to do whatever it took to uphold the country's laws.
"But you also know that the country has its own laws and the army has its own regulations." Sun Ting's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to strike Tang Hai's heart. "I can't break the laws of the court because of your personal feelings. This is my loyalty to the country and my responsibility to the people."
He paused, his eyes swept over everyone present, and then continued: "However, I am not an unreasonable person. I will give them a chance. As long as they are willing to lay down their weapons and accept the court's trial, I can guarantee that they will at least not be treated unfairly."
Tang Hai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Yuan Quan. Yuan Quan looked at Sun Ting deeply, with a trace of gratitude and respect in his eyes. Then he turned to Tang Hai and said, "Uncle Tang, Lord Sun has said so much. We can't ask for more. I believe the court will definitely give them a chance to reform."
Yuan Quan's voice was firm and powerful, as if conveying confidence and hope to Tang Hai and everyone else. He paused and continued, "Moreover, our main task now is to restore your father's reputation and clear his name. Only in this way can we have more bargaining chips to fight for the rights of others."
After hearing this, Tang Hai was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily. He looked at Sun Ting, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Sun Ting! We are old acquaintances! When we were in the Northeast! We both received favors from General Yuan! I hope you can remember this and help restore General Yuan's reputation!"
When Sun Ting heard Tang Hai's reminder, his expression changed slightly. He recalled the days when he fought side by side with Yuan Shuai. Those days were full of hardships and challenges, but they also made them forge a deep friendship. He looked at Tang Hai deeply, then nodded solemnly: "Brother Tang Hai, don't worry, although I, Sun Ting, am not a gentleman, I also know the principle of repaying kindness. I will always remember Yuan Shuai's kindness in my heart."
His voice was full of determination, as if announcing to everyone that he would do his best to clear Yuan Shuai's name. He paused and continued, "Since I have intervened in this matter, I will do my best to clear Yuan Shuai's name. As for those who followed you, I will also try my best to get them a fair trial."
Sun Ting's words made everyone present feel his determination and sincerity. They knew that Sun Ting was a trustworthy person who would fight for justice and truth at all costs.
After saying this, Sun Ting turned to Yuan Quan and said firmly: "Yuan Quan, time is running out, you should bring your people down as soon as possible. I will assist you secretly to ensure that you can successfully reach the capital and meet His Majesty."
Yuan Quan nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Sun! We will definitely remember your help!" Tears flashed in his eyes, which were a mixture of gratitude and respect. He knew that Sun Ting's help was undoubtedly a timely help for them.
Afterwards, Yuan Quan, Tang Hai and others left Sun Ting's tent. This time, they took the injured and those who surrendered voluntarily, a total of about 200 people. Although Sun Ting received news that their number was more than 200, the exact number has never been clear. However, it is not likely that there are many people. After all, they have been active in the mountains and it is difficult for them to persist without food and grass support. As for the remaining people, Sun Ting decided not to pay too much attention to them. As long as the court's relief began, they would naturally disperse.
Yuan Quan and Tang Hai, along with the 200 or so people, were quickly controlled by Sun Ting's men. Sun Ting's orders were quickly passed down, and the soldiers carried them out rigorously and efficiently, ensuring that everyone was properly accommodated.
"Lord Sun! Shall we go to the capital next? The situation in the capital is very urgent, and His Majesty has sent secret guards to urge us!" Lu Feng urged from the side, his face full of anxiety.
Sun Ting frowned slightly when he heard Lu Feng's urging. He knew that the situation in the capital was indeed urgent, but at the moment he had more important things to deal with. He turned to look at Wu Bin and said in a serious tone: "Wu Bin, your next task is to properly place these surrendered rebels and ensure that they will not cause trouble again."
Wu Bin straightened his back, looked at Sun Ting firmly, and saluted with a standard military salute: "Yes, Lord Sun! I will do my best to complete the task and will never let you down." His voice was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence and determination.
Sun Ting nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Wu Bin's answer. Then he turned to Lu Feng and said, "Lu Feng, you should immediately send someone to send Yuan Quan and the others to the capital, and make sure they are safe. In addition, you should also pay close attention to the developments in the capital and report to me in a timely manner."
Lu Feng took the order and left with a determined look on his face. He knew that this was an important mission that was related to the fate of the Yuan family and the stability of the entire Dakun Empire. He had to go all out to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Sun Tingze began to deal with other matters. He knew that the crisis was far from over and he had to remain vigilant to ensure that everything was under control. He examined the documents in his hand and thought about his next plan.
On the way to the capital, Yuan Quan, Tang Hai and others were full of expectations and trepidation. They knew that this trip was related to the fate of the Yuan family and whether their father's injustice could be cleared. But no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, they were ready. For the honor of the family and the injustice of their father, they would move forward fearlessly.
The reason why not all of them came out together this time was because Tie Feng and others chose to follow Lin Kunlun to continue the action. They did not have much trust in Emperor Chongming, and they could not be sure that Emperor Chongming would overturn his previous judgment and restore Yuan Chong's reputation. So, they chose to stay and continue to fight side by side with Lin Kunlun, fighting for the beliefs and ideals in their hearts.
On the way to Kyoto, Sun Ting finally decided to personally escort Yuan Quan, Tang Hai and others to the capital as fast as possible. He knew that the situation in Kyoto was very critical, so he wanted to rush back as soon as possible. He kept an eye on the dynamics ahead and constantly adjusted his plan to ensure that he could respond to possible problems in a timely manner.
"Lord Sun! You are really busy! Can't the entire Dakun Empire function without you? Is there no one who can resist those six barbarians?" Tang Hai suddenly asked when they were resting. There was a bit of ridicule in his tone, but more of respect and gratitude to Sun Ting.
Sun Ting picked up the tea and took a sip, then replied calmly: "Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. As the Minister of War of Da Kun, I should fulfill this responsibility. It is my duty to defend Kyoto." His voice was calm and firm, revealing a strong sense of responsibility and mission.
"Lord Sun looks like an old friend!" Tang Hai said with a smile. His smile was full of meaning, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
"Who?" Before Sun Ting asked, Yuan Quan, who was sitting next to him, became interested. His curiosity was aroused by Tang Hai's words, and he wanted to know who the old friend Tang Hai was talking about was.
"That's Marshal Yuan!" Tang Hai said excitedly, "At that time, the old marshal integrated the entire Northeast's defense forces in the Northeast, and built many fortresses, blocking all the barbarians in the bitter cold land of the Northeast for a while. No one in any military camp in the entire Northeast dared to disobey him as long as he was alive. Even many Northeast border troops only know the marshal but not His Majesty! Lord Sun's current situation is so similar to his! When there is unrest in the west, only Lord Sun can calm it down! When the barbarians enter the camp, only Lord Sun can dispatch troops to stop them..."
At this point, Tang Hai paused. But everyone present understood what he meant. They looked at Sun Ting with respect and admiration in their eyes. Sun Ting's situation was so similar to that of Marshal Yuan, both of whom were heroes who took on tasks in times of crisis and turned the tide. They believed that as long as Sun Ting was there, there would be hope for the Dakun Empire, and the crisis in Kyoto would definitely be resolved.
"Tang Hai! You are still so sharp-tongued!" Sun Ting smiled and pointed at Tang Hai, saying, "Of course you gained the Marshal's trust with this mouth! However, His Majesty trusts me so much, how could there be any false accusations? Besides, I, Sun Ting, have read the books of sages and know what loyalty and filial piety are!"
Sun Ting's words were full of confidence and determination. He believed in himself and the future of the Great Kun Empire. He knew that as long as they worked together, nothing could stop the Great Kun Empire from moving forward.
……
Just as they were setting off, Lin Kunlun, Tie Feng and others followed the route they had planned in advance and began to head towards Henan County. With the departure of Sun Ting, a senior official of the imperial court, the supporting soldiers sent from various places also began to leave one after another. Even if some soldiers did not leave, they no longer desperately went to various places to quell the rebellion as before.
As long as the rebels did not appear in their defense zone, these local armies would generally choose to hide. They were no longer as active in suppressing the rebellion as before, because they knew that the current situation had changed. After all, without a senior official from the imperial court watching over them, no one wanted to take risks.
Lin Kunlun and others led several thousand troops to Daxiguan. Daxiguan was the closest place to Henan County. Other routes had to cross many gullies and mountainous areas. Not only was the journey long, but the terrain was complex and not conducive to marching. Therefore, they chose to take the Daxiguan route.
When they arrived at Daxiguan, they saw people coming in and out of Daxiguan. Everyone entering and leaving had to be searched by the soldiers, so it was easy to imagine how difficult it was for them to get through with thousands of people.
