As Zhan Nancheng frowned, Meng Fuyao made a huge turn and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, both suggestions must not be used!"

The entire court of officials was taken aback. Xie Yu, Commander of the Imperial Army, smirked and asked, "Captain Meng, what's your brilliant opinion?"

"My brilliant opinion is," Meng Fuyao spoke without looking embarrassed at all. "Traversing 60 miles to fight at River Dan is equivalent to placing Pandu City in a precarious situation. Once the enemy attacks from two different routes, Pandu will be in danger. Furthermore, Pandu is one of the most guarded cities, and our strong walls and powerful bombs make it easier for us to defend than to attack. Setting up the defense at River Dan instead of Pandu? Absurd!"

Zhan Nancheng nodded, and those older officials who highly supported the idea of fighting at River Dan tried to rebuke her. "Don't you just mean setting up the defense at Pandu? There's nothing new!"
