"Outrageous! Ling'an City has fifty thousand stationed troops. Even if the two countries have allied forces, and even if they're attacking head-on, fifty thousand soldiers can hold for several days. But since they haven't engaged in battle yet, why did you request reinforcements from the court?"
Song Yuanqing practically shouted his words.
Images of their rushed marching due to concerns about the battle flashed through his mind. He also pictured the weary faces of the soldiers.
Recalling the hardships of continuous marching, even the personal guards and Deputy Generals behind Song Yuanqing glared angrily at Cao Xiong.
"Uh...I...I didn't want this either!"
Song Yuanqing's shouting made Cao Xiong's eardrums itch.
He rubbed his ears and frowned, wanting to defend himself, but apart from saying he didn't want this, he truly didn't know what else to say.
He originally wanted to say he had already suggested to the court to delay troop movements, but he didn't dare say it.
