Chapter 684: How can a great cause of a thousand years be calculated by the gains and losses of a moment!

The reason why Romanov left so cleanly, even with a bit of haste, was because he clearly felt that the anger and humiliation accumulated in his chest were on the verge of erupting.

If he stayed for another moment, he might really not care about anything and have a fight with Li Chen in this May Tian Ce Golden Throne Hall!

By then, there would be no room for maneuver, and the two countries would be completely trapped in an endless dead end.

Leaving at this moment, although it was a loss of face, at least it could retain a glimmer of hope for the shaky Daluo Dynasty, and going back to plan other strategies was the expedient measure.

After Romanov's figure completely disappeared, the heavy atmosphere in the hall eased slightly, and the Minister of Rites stepped out with worry: "Your Majesty, was it too tough just now? Romanov is after all the Daluo ancestor, representing the face of a country,

to be so humiliated, I fear it will arouse the indignation of the whole Daluo country and fight to the death with us... Daluo has occupied the extreme North for thousands of years, with a deep foundation; if they spare no cost, even if our army can win, I fear it will be a tragic victory, and the loss will be immeasurable..."

Before he finished speaking, an old general wearing black armor and tiger eyes stepped out, interrupting him like a loud bell: "Pedantic view! I, Guo Poyun, implore Your Majesty not to listen to such words of fearing war!"

He was a famous war-loving element of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and at this moment, he was even more aggressive, "Now Daluo has internal and external troubles, Xie Xie Ergai's rebellion is stirring its hinterland, and the Northern Wizard Ancestor is eyeing covetously, which is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity for our May Tian Ce! How can we miss it because of being timid?

Let the civil officials look at Romanov, how spirited he was in the past, today in front of my imperial majesty, isn't he also only able to be low-voiced and swallow his anger? This is the proof that Daluo's luck has declined and it has become a strong crossbow at the end of its flight! If we don't attack now, when will we?"

These words immediately triggered a fierce debate in the court.

In fact, the predicament faced by the Daluo Dynasty at this moment was similar to when Li Chen just inherited the May Tian Ce throne! Both were internal and external troubles, shaky.

However, the ways of dealing with them by the two emperors were completely different.

Back then, Li Chen faced the two major internal troubles of the Prince of Zhennan who held heavy troops and the Third Prince who relied on military power, but did not choose to compromise or rush to internal liquidation, but went north with thunderous momentum, first wiping out the external major trouble, the Snow Eagle King Court, in one fell swoop.

Carrying the prestige of a great victory, he stabilized the basic disk and military heart, then turned back to calmly clean up the internal, finally laying the foundation for May Tian Ce's revival.

Conversely, Ivan, when the external enemy May Tian Ce was pressing the border, thought of pushing Andrei, who was equivalent to the status of the Prince of Zhennan, out as a scapegoat to temporarily stabilize the situation.

This kind of cutting off one's own arms and killing the donkey after the millstone was used, instead gave Xie Xie Ergai, the son of Andrei, an excellent reason and opportunity to rebel, which could be said to have forced the powerful force that might have become a help to rebel.

From the moment this step was taken, Ivan had already lost strategically.

If he could be a little firmer, show the determination to fight May Tian Ce to the end, and fully appease and rely on Andrei's old subordinates and Tuoba Zhen, these two major forces, for their own survival and interests, would likely choose to fight side by side with the royal family.

By then, May Tian Ce would face a united and desperate Daluo, and the war would likely fall into a cruel tug-of-war, eventually ending in peace after both sides were injured, or even if May Tian Ce could win, it would be impossible to be as broken as bamboo as it was now.

The loss of defensive warfare was far lower than offensive, a point that even Han Wu, the commander of May Tian Ce's northern army who was known for his shrewdness, had deeply felt in previous battles, advancing abnormally difficultly.

In the court, civil and military officials were still arguing endlessly.

Most of the civil officials were steady, repeatedly emphasizing the huge consumption and uncertain benefits of the war, thinking it was better to stop while they were ahead and obtain actual benefits through negotiations.

While the military generals were impassioned, shouting "How can a great cause of a thousand years be calculated by the gains and losses of a moment," urging to take advantage of the victory and establish hegemony in the North in one fell swoop. ===== CHAPTER 685 =====
