Chapter 283 - 260: Changes in India
A hundred years ago, when the Marquis of Extending Grace, Ban Chao, subdued the Western Regions, he once occupied the Ussang Country and Elephant Country of Western Niu Hezhou, but because the great Han had not yet developed the Western Regions, he eventually withdrew.
However, afterwards, the great Han did establish commercial ties with these Western kingdoms close to the Western Regions.
Relying on years of trade relations, the ministers and people of the great Han had some understanding of these Western kingdoms and knew that the Western lands were filled with demons and monsters, yet they did not have a detailed understanding of the specific circumstances of these creatures.
Now, after listening to Sun Wukong’s introduction, the many civil and military officials finally had a clear understanding. With surprise and delight, they gathered around the sand table map to discuss again.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed that the country of Jisai faced the greatest pressure.
Because this country is located on the western side of the territory of the Demon King Bull Demon, not only does it have Buddhist temples like the Golden Light Temple but also the Yellow-Eyed Monster of the Lesser Thunderclap Temple and the Python Spirit of the Seven Extinction Mountain lurking within.
Furthermore, to the west, there is the Zhu Zi Country, which has joined the Tianzhu dynasty, and its surrounding areas like the Yellow Flower Observatory, the Pansi Cave, and the Qilin Mountain, are all dwelling places of demons and monsters.
Lu Bu said, "Your Majesty, Lu is willing to lead troops to station in the country of Jisai!"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, and other generals also asked for their assignments in succession.
Liu Xiu looked at the many generals and said with authority, "Our great Han is contending with Tianzhu for the fate of our nations, and our westward advance does not seek just the land of Jisai alone, all of you will be heavily relied upon."
