Chapter 1697

Gongsun Zan also nodded in agreement, his rugged voice ringing out in the camp: "General Gao Shun is right; we cannot give the remnants of Yuan Shao's forces any chance to catch their breath. Furthermore, we should consider how to further expand our sphere of influence so that the entire North bows at our feet."

Gu Yi nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over every general present: "Brother Gongsun's words are reasonable. However, before we expand, the first thing we must do is internal integration. We must ensure our alliance is as solid as a rock; all generals must trust and support one another. Only in this way can we fear no challenge."

At this moment, a strategist stepped forward. He was Gu Yi's capable assistant, named Chen Lin: "My lord, this subordinate believes that we can also consolidate the alliance with General Gongsun through marriage. Marriage is the bond that connects two families, and it can also make our relationship even closer."
