Wu Liping led Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an to the secret base.
The so-called secret base was actually just a relatively hidden military camp.
Although this military camp is very close to the capital, it is conveniently hidden by a mountain range, making it the best place to conceal the secret army.
Wu Liping saw Yun Songquan and Li Jinyuan leading the Su family army in drills from afar.
These soldiers have been away from this secret base for almost twenty years, and they really miss this place.
Seeing that everyone had returned safely, Wu Liping was also a little excited and waved to Yun Songquan and Li Jinyuan from afar: "Old Yun, Old Li!"
Upon hearing Wu Liping's shout, the two immediately ran over.
When they saw Su Renzhong from afar, their eyes welled up with tears of excitement.
The two men ran to Su Renzhong and knelt down with a thud: "General, we are guilty and beg for your punishment!"
When Su Renzhong first regained his memories, he heard about the hardships that Duanmu Junyu, Su Xuening, and Su Yun'an had endured, and he wished he could kill all three of them.
Now that his family is reunited, he considers that they traveled a long way to Eastern Chu for him and followed him silently for so long. Now, for his sake, they have moved back to Northern Wei like ants, which is not easy. So he doesn't want to hold it against them.
"Alright, get up, everyone."
Su Renzhong spoke, but they remained kneeling on the ground.
They knew they were gravely guilty, and they would not feel at ease if the general did not punish them!
Seeing that they were still kneeling, Su Renzhong said helplessly, "I don't want to bring up the past anymore. You must have been wrong. But now that our family is reunited, I don't want to pursue it any further. We still have other difficulties to overcome."
Yun Songquan and Li Jinyuan raised their eyes curiously.
The general's family is already reunited, so why are there still difficulties to overcome?
Su Renzhong gave Wu Liping a wink.
Wu Liping immediately understood and stepped forward to help Yun Songquan and Li Jinyuan up: "What the General said is true, he will not pursue us. Now that Prince Rui and Prince Mu are plotting a rebellion, the Emperor needs us to fight against the rebels."
As Wu Liping spoke, he recounted the events to the two of them in general terms.
The two of them had no idea that the arrival of the young general and his companions in Northern Wei would bring about such a great change, especially since the young general had even summoned the Azure Dragon divine beast.
Therefore, it seems that the future emperor of Northern Wei will undoubtedly be the young general.
Even if the young general does not succeed to the throne after the emperor, he will likely succeed to the throne after the great general.
However, Prince Rui and Prince Mu rebelled because they did not obtain the position of crown prince. This really shows how unpredictable life can be.
Li Jinyuan immediately declared, "General, rest assured, we will definitely follow you and defeat the rebels in one fell swoop!"
"Follow the General and bring down the verdict!" Yun Songquan shouted from the side.
Su Renzhong was not as confident as they were. He said solemnly, "Helian Zheng and his men have 900,000 troops, while we only have 300,000. Adding the old man's 300,000, we only have 600,000. 600,000 against 900,000, there is still a gap!"
Li Jinyuan, however, was unconcerned: "We've fought battles where we were outnumbered before. The General led us to victory in countless such battles, and we'll win this one too!"
Although their soldiers are no longer young, they have not missed a single day of training in the past twenty years, and their basic skills are still up to par.
When it comes to war, aren't veterans more desirable than young soldiers?
Yun Songquan added, "Moreover, we also have the Azure Dragon Divine Beast. As long as we summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, those on the other side will obediently surrender, and we will surely win without a fight!"
These words are exactly the same as what the old man said, Su Renzhong smiled wryly.
The people of Northern Wei really had a strong attachment to the Azure Dragon mythical beast, just like the Eastern Chu worshipped the Black Tortoise and the Western Liang worshipped the Vermilion Bird!
"Alright, you all get ready. The big battle is just a day or two away."
"Yes," Yun Songquan and the others immediately responded loudly.
Su Renzhong thought for a moment and said, "Everyone should get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the capital together to join the old man's 300,000 troops."
"yes."
That evening, Wu Liping met with Yun Songquan and Li Jinyuan and talked about many things.
Yun Songquan and Li Jinyuan told Wu Liping about the hardships they had endured along the way, and Wu Liping also told them about Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an's experiences in the Northern Wei imperial palace.
The two never expected that the young princess and the young prince would gain such favor from the emperor as soon as they arrived in Northern Wei.
By all accounts, the young princess and the young prince are actually the emperor's great-granddaughter and great-grandson. So many generations have passed, and their relationship has long since faded, but the emperor still loves them out of affection for the princess.
Of course, this is also related to the personal charm of the young princess and the young prince.
A girl like the young princess is not only beautiful, but also kind and intelligent, and can even help the emperor improve his health. How could the emperor not like her?
And the young prince is so clever and quick-witted. At such a young age, he already knows how to protect his mother and sister and tries his best to find his father. How could the emperor not like such a child?
Moreover, both the young princess and the young prince are the purest direct descendants of the Northern Wei royal family. Apart from the three princes, there should be no one in Northern Wei who would dislike them.
Now that the Third Prince has also surrendered to the General and his men, it should be said that apart from those two rebellious princes, no one would dislike the Little Princess and the Little Prince!
The three finally returned to Northern Wei with the Su family army, and they also had different ideas about their future and that of the Su family army.
Once the difficulties the General mentioned are overcome, many veterans in the Su family army should be able to retire and return to their hometowns. The secret army will likely recruit new young blood.
And those three, they're not old enough to retire and return to their hometowns yet, but perhaps they can get married, have children, and live normal lives.
The three of them huddled together and whispered to each other, while Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an sat not far away and talked as well.
"Will you blame me for not punishing them?" Su Renzhong suddenly asked.
Su Yun'an frowned, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "Actually, I stopped hating them a long time ago. They were just following orders. If anyone is to blame, it's the rigid military system of the Northern Wei."
He thought the same as his father: now that their family was reunited and living well together, he couldn't be bothered to blame them anymore.
Moreover, they did seem to be acting under orders, and since he didn't even blame his great-grandfather, why would he blame them?
Su Renzhong smiled and reached out to hug Su Yun'an's small body: "Since you think the military system of Northern Wei is bad, then you should try to change it in the future."
Su Yun'an nodded seriously: "I will definitely change!"
Su Renzhong was amused by him, rubbed his head, and looked at him with affection.
