Chapter 748: Legends: Continuing the Immortal Road?
"To get to the top, really...... Is it worth it?"
General Huo's question is thought-provoking.
As a general, General Huo Da has experienced too many wars, especially when the empress was still young, he fought almost every day, and it was rare to have the opportunity to be free in the court.
At that time, whether it was the four armies in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, or even the empress's Praetorian Guard, they were all fighting outside all the year round, and they didn't know how many people would die every day!
Almost every year and a half, all major armies had to re-recruit troops in order to make up for the losses and stabilize the defensive line!
In other words, in two years, the empress's strength has improved rapidly, even if she has not broken through to the extraordinary before, she is already a rare master in the world, which has made Datang much more stable.
Therefore, General Huo Da knew too well the casualties and pain caused by the war......
"On the Heroic Soul Monument, there are almost no names engraved on the Heroic Soul Monument!"
Her voice suddenly fell a little low, completely missing the resolute and tough attitude of a general in the past, but a little 'weak'.
"Is it necessary if it's just to get to the top and compete in the world?"
"Let an unknown number of people leave their homes, leave their parents, relatives, husbands, children, and all their friends to go to the battlefield, and live a life where no one knows when they will die......"
"These kinds of days, I really ...... I'm a little tired of it. ”
"If you can, why don't you cherish the hard-won peace in front of you and start another incident?"
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it?
This is General Huo's question to Lin Zifan, and it is also the question in her heart, and she is eager to know the answer......
After all, at this juncture, a decision can affect the development and direction of Datang for years to come, or even decades or even longer!
If you decide to fight and dominate the world, how many people will Datang die?
General Huo is really tired of war, although it seems that she is just a young girl with a childish face, but in fact, her age is more than three times older than the empress!
Back then, he followed the first emperor to fight in the south and the north, and in this life, almost all of them were Jin Gerong horses......
I have seen too many lives and deaths, enemies, and even the corpses of my own partners...... This did not make her a habit, but it was a little difficult to let go.
"It makes sense......
The national teacher sighed lightly, and it was rare that he did not exchange words with General Huo, but expressed his approval.
Peace is not easy to come by, everyone knows that people will inevitably die in war, and there are many deaths!
Especially if the goal is to compete in the world and reach the top, this is especially true!
That's right, the empress is now very strong and invincible, but it is impossible for the empress to go to the south and the north alone, to conquer the city, right?
It's simply impossible!
Therefore, once the war is going to start, the army of the Tang Dynasty will still have to go to the front line, or fight to the death, once the war breaks out, the casualties will increase rapidly, and I don't know how many people will be 'scattered'!
"I ...... I support Lin Shangshu's point of view. Li Shangshu of the household department, that is, Lin Zifan's cheap godsister, frowned and said: "Although the peace in front of me is not easy to come by, it will not last long......"
"If we don't take advantage of the opportunity to extend our advantage, who knows what will happen next?"
"What's more, even if we Datang don't have ambitions, don't other countries and others have either?"
"Once someone breaks through to the extraordinary, and at that time, our Datang has not made any changes, I am afraid that what awaits us will be ...... destruction."
Her opening, like a fuse, directly ignited the entire court.
"I agree with Lin Shangshu and Li Shangshu......"
"I agree with General Huo's statement, is it really worth it? Those casualties...... It's just imagination, and I know that there will be no less!"
"We don't have a large population in Datang, but we can't withstand such rapid consumption......"
"I think it makes sense on both sides, but ...... But I don't know which side to support!"
Hundreds of civil and military officials expressed their opinions one after another.
There are people who support both sides, and there are even people who feel that both sides have a certain reason, but they can't make up their minds and don't know who to support.
In the end, this problem returned to the empress.
Civil and military officials, except for abstaining, are almost five-five.
And there is an extremely strange phenomenon in this, the generals who should have been more eager for war, at this moment, supported General Huo even more, thinking that there was no need to go to war again.
On the contrary, most of the civil officials feel that they should take this opportunity to expand the advantages of Datang as much as possible, and it is best to dominate the world and reach the top!
It's not that the civilian officials are unaware of the cruelty of war, but ...... I haven't been experiencing that kind of purgatory-like corpse-strewn scene, which is a little incomprehensible after all.
After all, intellectually speaking, it is good to let Datang reach the top!
"You see, I can't make up my mind for a while. ”
The empress sighed lightly: "If I want to say, it is naturally good to reach the top, but I don't want the people of the Tang Dynasty to die in the ......."
"However, I will leave one day, and in this world, I can't be the only one who is extraordinary!"
"Even, I have a feeling!"
"Since last year, this feeling has become clearer and clearer!"
"That is, the rules between heaven and earth have changed slightly, in the past, it would be extremely difficult to break through the extraordinary, as if someone had cut off that road, so that the latecomers could not move forward halfway!"
"But now, that road has been continued!"
"Some people say that transcendent is immortal. ”
"Then, that road, I will call it the fairy road! Before that, the fairy road has always been truncated by people, and no one can pass through!"
"But, one day last year, I don't know what the reason, or who it is, has continued the fairy road!"
"Because of this, I can become the first person to break through in the past hundred years!"
The empress opened her mouth and said such a secret, which stunned everyone.
"Now that the immortal path has been continued, then in the next period of time...... There will inevitably be people who will break through, so if Datang doesn't expand its advantages......"
Speaking of which, the empress's meaning is already obvious, in fact, she is more inclined to Lin Zifan's statement, that is, to take the opportunity to expand her advantages and let the Tang Dynasty reach the top as much as possible!
But she also hesitated a little, that is, she really didn't want to die too many people......
Moreover, it is still on the basis of the peace of Datang......
Hearing this, General Huo and the generals were silent.
No one has ever heard of the empress's statement, after all, they are not in the realm, but ...... Everyone knows that the empress will not talk nonsense.
