Zhuge Liang has been talking with Liu Bei all night these days, and he hasn't asked about other things, so he doesn't know about Pang Tong's situation.

At this moment, many ministers of the Han Dynasty are there, and he can't ask Prime Minister Sun directly.

After another moment, General Wei Lu Bu, Yuan Shu of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao brothers all came to the cabinet hall with their respective advisors and generals.

The enlarged meeting of the Han Cabinet was officially held, and the meeting was presided over by Guo Jia.

Guo Jia first saluted the three cabinet ministers, and then walked to the front of the sand table map of Xiniu Hezhou, and said with a smile: "Everyone, before the meeting begins, let's take a look at the three policy articles. ”

As he spoke, with a slight wave of the feather fan in his hand, three streamers flew to the sky above the sand table, turning into three phantoms full of articles.

Some ministers who participated in the examination of the imperial examination recognized at a glance that these were the three first-class policy question and answer papers.

At that time, the scroll was obfuscated with magical powers, and I don't know who wrote it, but now that the list has been released, of course everyone knows which three people it came from.

Most of the people present have only heard of it, but have not read the content of the article, and now after reading it, they know what is superior.

The first article is written by Zhuge Liang, the champion of the west, whose westward strategy is upright, looking at its general strategy, absorbing the elite, having a macro grasp, knowing how to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, and also taking advantage of the trend.

The second is written by Bangyan Pang Tong, whose strategy has some similarities with Zhuge Liang's, but the specifics are more radical and have many tricks.

Finally, it is written by Sima Yi of Tanhua, which has more distinctive characteristics, which is to seek progress in stability, not to seek reactive power, but to seek no fault.

Judging from the comparison of the national strength of the East and the West, it is natural that Zhuge Liang's strategy is superior, but it does not mean that Pang Tong and Sima Yi are worse.

After reading it, everyone praised it, and it was all the prime minister's talent to be able to write such a strategy with just a little information.

Some of the old Han ministers present suddenly had a kind of happy trouble, because there were also young junyan such as Guo Jia, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Fa Zheng in front of them, who were only a few years older than Zhuge Liang, and they were all people of the same generation.

It is conceivable that the court hall of the Han Dynasty will be more lively in the next hundred years.

At this time, someone recognized Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi and stepped forward to talk.

Zhuge Liang talked and laughed with everyone, but Sima Yi was expressionless and very cold.

When it was lively, Cao Cao said: "Why don't you see Pang Tong?" ”

The cabinet hall quickly quieted down, everyone looked at each other, and many people finally looked at Sun Jian.

There are no secrets in Chang'an City, and some well-informed people know that Pang Tong went to the mansion of Prime Minister Wu Hou Sun after the list was released.

Cao Cao said again: "Since you are virtuous, how can you turn it away, Changwen, you go and invite Pang Tong." ”

Chen Qun immediately led people to find Pang Tong.

Seeing this scene, Sun Jian's face was not very good-looking, Sun Ce sighed lightly in his heart, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su were silent.

The meeting was temporarily suspended, and everyone took this opportunity to exchange and judge the content of the three strategic articles, and at the same time combined with the sand table diagram of Xiniu Hezhou to make more strategic deductions.

Zhuge Liang naturally became the center of communication, but Sima Yi stood alone and watched the excitement, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Pang Tong came, he saw the scene of Zhuge Liang talking and laughing with everyone, but soon he also became the focus, and many eyes converged.

Because compared to Zhuge Liang, who has a great appearance, he is too ugly!

Everyone understood a little at this moment why Sun Jian would turn Pang Tong away.

Pang Tong sighed in his heart, he was not jealous of Kong Ming, nor was he inferior because of his ugly appearance, he only hated that he had no talent, but there was nowhere to show it.

At this time, Cao Cao strode over and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of the phoenix chick for a long time, and I finally saw it today." ”

Pang Tong had already learned from Chen Qun about what had happened before the cabinet on the road just now, and he was naturally very grateful to Cao Cao, compared to the disgust and indifference that Sun Jian had encountered, it was obvious who he chose to serve.

"Pang Shiyuan pays a visit to Wei Hou." Pang Tong saluted respectfully.

Cao Cao laughed and led Pang Tong to the huge sand table map.

Before the new science list had time to say hello to Zhuge Liang, he was attracted by the very realistic terrain and landform.

And when Sun Jian saw this scene, his face was of course even more ugly.

Then the meeting went on normally, and Guo Jia said solemnly: "Some time ago, Wu Zu appeared to remind the three prime ministers, saying that the West has established the Tianzhu Dynasty, and there is a intention to unify the West Niu Hezhou, and it is bound to compete with the Han Dynasty in the east. ”

Many ministers who had not attended a cabinet meeting before knew that the imperial court was preparing to move westward, but they did not know the inside story, and now they know what it was for.

It turned out to be the legendary Martial Ancestor who appeared to remind him?

The martial arts of the Han Dynasty are becoming more and more prosperous, and people's belief in martial ancestors is not lower than that of the human king.

Since it is what Wu Zu said, then Western Tianzhu must be a wolf's ambition, and he has to guard against it!

Guo Jia said: "According to the report of the spies of the military department, the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom, the Baoxiang Kingdom, and the Wuji Kingdom, which are close to the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, have been frequently mobilized recently.

And there are many Buddhist temples where the light of the Buddha shines day and night, and the armies and people of these kingdoms are blessed, and their hearts to invade our land have been revealed.

The Cabinet held an enlarged meeting to come up with a final response strategy.

If you have any ideas, please feel free to share them. ”

All the ministers have serious expressions, and it has been more than 150 years since the Han Dynasty was promoted to the Yun Dynasty, and the martial arts have also been implemented for a hundred years.

They can be officials in the court, and they naturally have some understanding of immortals, Buddhas and demons, and some of them have good cultivation in martial arts.

After listening to Guo Jia's information, everyone understood that these kingdoms in the West were moving towards unification under the impetus of Buddhism.

Therefore, the enemy that the Han is facing this time is not just the Tianzhu Dynasty!

Subsequently, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, Chen Gong, Tian Feng and other strategists of various factions offered suggestions and launched heated debates.

Military generals such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Sun Ce also discussed their respective combat ideas, and they were all very radical.

The cabinet hall suddenly became more lively, but it was not chaotic, and someone was specially recording the arguments of many civil ministers and military generals, integrating and unifying, and then presenting them to the three prime ministers.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong stood together, the two smiled at each other, they finally came to the highest hall of power in the Han Dynasty, since they came, it was impossible to leave, and the world would be amazed by their talent.

Pang Tong confidently stepped forward, pointed at the sand table map, and said: "My lords, if my Han wants to go west, it is indeed the key to open up the passage to the west, but this place must be occupied in advance, or guarded."

Once our Han lacks this fulcrum, it will be a hundred or a thousand times more difficult to advance westward. ”

The crowd in the midst of the debate looked at him and followed the direction of his finger.

I saw that the sand table map showed the territory of the Mangniu clan under the command of the Pingtian Great Sage Bull Demon King, with Cangyunling as the center, surrounded by the Sacrifice Race Country, the Xiliang Women's Country, the Gaochang Kingdom, and the Yuetuo Kingdom.

Someone immediately pointed out the problem: "Of course we know that this place is very important, but even if the nearest Xiliang Women's Country is 45,000 miles away from my Han Dynasty, it is really beyond the reach of the whip." ”

Someone else said: "The Great Sage of Pingtian has a close relationship with my Great Han, and now I can only hope that he can hold the territory of the Mangniu clan and these Western Kingdoms." ”

Pang Tong shook his head: "We can't look at this war with mortal thinking, the territory of the Mangniu clan is like a fist of my big man smashed into Xiniu Hezhou, it must be occupied,

Forty-five thousand miles is indeed far away, but we can completely ask the Bull Demon King and the totemic powerhouses to take action and throw the forces of the Great Han over. ”

Lu Su frowned: "This is too risky, the movement is so big, it will definitely attract the obstruction of the Buddhist Sect, and the situation may evolve into a full-scale war between us and the Buddhist Sect." ”

Many ministers have agreed that although the Han Dynasty has been practicing martial arts for a hundred years, it is still too weak compared to Buddhism.

Zhou Yu stepped forward and said: "As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, the situation in the entire Xiniu Hezhou is indeed clear from the sand table map.

However, we are not familiar with the specific situation in various parts of the West, such as whether there are Buddhist guards in these places, and whether there are demons entrenched, we need to find out.

Moreover, we know very little about the strength of the Tianzhu Dynasty's troops, and if we rashly put our troops into the hinterland of Xiniuhezhou, we will definitely be surrounded by the West, so we must measure the situation. ”

Pang Tong fell into deep thought.

However, no one laughed at him, because for a young man who had just entered the ranks, it was not easy to make a judgment on the whole to defend the territory of the Mangniu clan without knowing the West.

In fact, many of the strategists present at the scene have considered this issue, but there is nothing they can do.

Because behind Tianzhu is Buddhism, it is impossible for those strong Buddhists to let the Han use the power of various totems to carry troops.

So in the end, the war had to be advanced step by step, and the threat of the West was solved by mortal means.

As long as you can occupy the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom, Baoxiang Kingdom, and Wuji Kingdom close to the Han Dynasty, and push the border between the East and West to the area of Huangfengling and Liusha River, you can temporarily defend against the invasion of the Tianzhu Dynasty.

As for the further west, we can only wait for the future to be slowly mapped.

Zhuge Liang was also thinking on the side, he understood that unless he could quietly transport troops, he could only give up the territory of the Mangniu clan.

Because this is not an ordinary war, any sound of attacking the east and west, secretly crossing Chen Cang, under the gaze of the immortal Buddha, is all vain.

Even if his wit is extraordinary, he can't compete with the magical means of the Immortal Buddha.

"Why did you calm down?"

At this moment, a chuckle came from outside the hall.

Everyone looked for a sound, and saw Liu Xiu wearing a human crown, walking into the main hall side by side with a golden-armored monkey king, followed by a burly man with horns.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian hurriedly led their ministers to salute.

Many ministers were very excited, they could still see the king of people once every ten or eight years, but in more than a hundred years, they had never seen Wu Zu appear, and today they finally saw it!

Liu Xiu, the king of people, and the great sage of Wuzu Monkey King, these are the two legends who are most admired by all the people since the Han Dynasty was promoted to the Yun Dynasty!

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong couldn't hold their composure, and there was irrepressible excitement on their faces.

Even Sima Yi was excited.

They didn't have the idea that "if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different" because Sun Wukong is a monkey clan, because the Han Dynasty can have all this today, and Wu Zu has made great contributions!

In everyone's eyes, this is a Monkey King who can compete with heaven and earth!

Sun Wukong was in a very comfortable mood when he saw everyone's eyes, but he didn't steal the limelight from his apprentices, and asked Liu Xiu to talk to these courtiers of the Han Dynasty first.

Liu Xiu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Fang Caizhen and Wu Zu, as well as the Great Sage of Pingtian, have listened to your debates outside, and all kinds of strategies have merits.

However, the Great Sage of Pingtian has an objection to the debate on whether or not you want to give up the territory of the Mangniu clan. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and now that the Lord is here, who would dare to say in front of the Bull Demon King - you have been abandoned.

The Bull Demon King said in a deep voice: "My Mangniu clan is the arm and fist of the big man who stretched out into the west, and now that the war has not started, you are going to cut off your own arm?" ”

The cabinet hall is terrifying, some people don't dare to kick loudly, and some people are touched by the words of the Bull Demon King, if you want to give up the territory of the Mangniu clan, it is indeed a self-cutting arm!

"Hahaha, Wu Zu, you better tell them quickly, I can't help it." The Bull Demon King suddenly burst out laughing, leaving everyone at a loss and at a loss, and they all looked at the Martial Ancestor Monkey King.

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "On the issue of troop transportation, I have already planned for a long time, and I have set up a teleportation array between Dahan and Cangyunling.

Even millions of soldiers can be transported from the Han to the territory of the Mangniu clan quietly. ”

Teleportation array?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and from the literal meaning alone, they could understand the power of this array.

Then came the surprise, so that the problem of arguing and worrying about it was gone.

And they can also rely on this formation to make more adjustments to the westward expansion strategy of the Great Han!

Sun Wukong said: "In addition, I also brought some demon distribution maps from all over Xiniu Hezhou, which is not completely accurate, but it can also be used as a reference." ”

Many of the strategists were excited again, and this was really a timely rain.

Although what Martial Ancestor said was not entirely accurate, they also believed that this was definitely a detailed map of the distribution of demons, which would save them a lot of time for exploration, as well as manpower and material resources.

As the saying goes, the faster the soldier is fast, the sooner the plan is deployed, the more opportunity can be taken!

Subsequently, under the gaze of everyone, Sun Wukong stood in front of the sand table diagram and began to introduce the distribution of demons in various parts of Xiniu Hezhou.

For example, there is a black bear spirit in Black Wind Mountain, there is a yellow wind monster in Huangfeng Ridge, and there is a man-eating water monster sand demon in the quicksand river.

Further west, there are the corpse demon white bone spirit of Baihuling, the inspiration king of Tongtian River, the scorpion spirit of Poison Enemy Mountain, the yellow eyebrow monster of Xiaoleiyin Temple, the spider spirit of Pansi Cave, and many other demons.

The ministers of civil and military affairs were fascinated by what they heard, and they were even more surprised, there were no such man-eating demons entrenched in the Han Dynasty.

The Bull Demon King was also surprised, as the top demon king of Xiniu Hezhou, he didn't dare to say that he knew everything about these demons, how did Sun Wukong know? And that's all you know?

At this moment, Sun Wukong sighed in his heart, these are all things he learned from Zhihu netizens a long time ago, and they are the demons and monsters he encountered on the westward road in his original life.

However, he is provocative now, because under his changes, the demons entrenched in some places will definitely change, such as the yellow-robed monster under the Kui Wood Wolf will not appear again.

Of course, there is also his layout in this. (End of chapter)
