As general Tang headed out for the war, he sat in his luxurious carriage that came only second to Bai Jingfei's. He didn't have any issue just sitting around with a smile on his face, since he was sure that he was going to win this war.
It just sounded like an easy way to win great honor in his ears.
It wasn't that he couldn't meet with the soldiers.
He wasn't at all worried about how the soldiers would react to him being the new general. He was the new general no matter what any of them had to say about it.
He was sure that they had no choice but to shut up and follow him to war. They were practically his slaves after all. They were there to follow his orders. He was the general, they were simply cannon fodder.
What could they say? That they weren't going to war?
Then how were they going to earn their keep?
