"What do you expect us to do? Go back in disgrace? We might not be greeted by our family, but by a group of armed soldiers!" Sun Guang gritted his teeth and said.
He felt that this pardon was essentially a ruse to sow discord. If they went back, the Great Tang Empire would certainly capture them all and hang them to serve as a warning to others.
Of course, from a personal standpoint, returning in such a manner was indeed embarrassing. If the Tang Army had been defeated in Dorne and he was pardoned, returning to his homeland would have been with pride and a sense of achievement. Even if it meant death, he would be at peace with it.
But now, having fled to Dorne as a general of Qin Country, he could hardly say he had achieved anything. That defense line had not been battle-tested and was nowhere near completion.
