Wu Rui's request for reinforcements was rejected by the other generals.
In their eyes, Changyang had died because of his own arrogance.
They had already suffered a major defeat in the first battle; the news sent back to the Court was grim enough. And now, he wanted to ask for reinforcements?
Was he tired of his career path being too smooth?
Even if he didn't want a promotion, he couldn't stand in the way of theirs.
In the end, Wu Rui could only give up.
He could have forced the issue, but it would have definitely caused discontent among the generals. And then what?
He was the Commander-in-Chief, true, but he couldn't fight a war all by himself.
The result was that he was swept along by the tide of popular opinion.
"Grand Marshal, we should be wary of an enemy night raid." The old general who had previously gone to rescue Changyang, An Qian, came into the tent to remind Wu Rui.
