Chapter 282 - 259 Timely Rain Sun Wukong_2
After Guo Jia had finished presenting the information, everyone understood that the kingdoms in the west were moving towards unification under the influence of the Buddha Sect.
Therefore, the adversaries that the Han faced this time were not merely the Tianzhu Dynasty!
Following this, strategists from various factions, including Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, Chen Gong, and Tian Feng, offered their strategies and engaged in heated debates.
Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Sun Ce, and other military commanders also discussed their aggressive combat strategies.
The Grand Hall of the Cabinet instantly became more lively, yet it was not chaotic, as scribes were specifically assigned to record the numerous debates among the civil and military officials, consolidating and then presenting them to the three prime ministers.
Zhu Geliang and Pang Tong stood together, smiling at each other. They had finally reached the pinnacle of power in the Han, and now that they were here, they could not possibly leave; they were determined to astound the world with their brilliance.
Pang Tong confidently walked forward, pointed at the sand table map, and declared seriously, "My lords, if our Han is to expand westward, securing a passageway to the west is indeed crucial, but this location must be secured in advance or at least defended.
Once our Han lacks this foothold, advancing westward will become a hundred times, even a thousand times more difficult."
The gathered debaters glanced at him and then followed the direction of his finger.
Displayed on the sand table map was the territory of the Niu Demon Tribe under Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Niu Demon King, centered around Cang Yun Ridge, surrounded by the nations of Jisai, Western Liang Women Country, Gaochang, and Yetuo.
