Chapter 289 The fight between heaven and dragon

call!

Zhang Mingtu let out a heavy breath. Even though he had already realized the ugliness of human nature, he still could not imagine that the ugliness of human nature could reach such an extent.

For his own selfish interests, he directly plunged countless people in the North into dire straits and even death.

He didn't want to believe it, but he had experienced many facts that told him that human nature was like this.

For Zhang Mingtu, stabilizing the northern border and even taking the opportunity to kill the northern barbarians outside the northern border.

At the same time, destroying the Kingdom of the Rising Sun is a big deal, and it is good for Daxia as a whole. After all, it has destroyed a country that is eyeing Daxia, and it has also eradicated the Northland barbarians, a cancer of Daxia.

No matter how you look at it, it is an event that accomplishes multiple things with one stone.

But for the third prince, things didn't work out that way.

He exchanged information with Zhang Mingtu and obtained a lot of information about the northern border. If the eldest prince had not gone south to confront the Land of the Rising Sun, he would have directly pacified the northern barbarians.

That would indeed greatly enhance his prestige in the military and make him a strong contender for the throne.

But there are no ifs. The eldest prince is advancing step by step along the southeast coast. After obtaining the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake, he will definitely get the support of the royal family.

Even if he kills all the barbarians in the north, he will only show his face among the princes. Not only will he not gain much, but he will also probably cause death.

After all, he has great prestige and strong ability among many princes. How does this make the emperor who has ascended the throne feel?

If it is the ability in literature and education, then it makes sense. In order to show his magnanimity and respect for brothers, friends and brothers, it is impossible to say that the third prince will be responsible for teaching the younger generations in the royal family.

But the third prince had outstanding abilities in the most sensitive and dangerous military field. What did this make the reigning emperor think?

He really wanted brothers and sisters to respect each other, but if the third prince secretly accumulated strength and suddenly dethroned him from the throne one day while he was eating hot pot and singing songs, then there would be no place for him to cry.

cry.

Sometimes it is not a question of trust or distrust, but as a supreme emperor, once someone under his command has this ability, he must be killed.

Anyway, as the emperor, no one can resist him, so of course he can do this kind of thing.

In this regard, the third prince is truly gifted, and he feels that he would rather let me fail the world than let the world fail me.

Zhang Mingtu sighed softly. The ugliness of human nature is often unexpected.

After experiencing this round, Zhang Mingtu inexplicably thought that in the last round of deduction, his future brother also informed the third prince about the Northland, and he was afraid that the third prince would also make the same move.

Anyway, what the Third Prince means is, if I can’t win, then no one else can win.

"well!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Amid internal and external troubles, problems are really exploding.

But at the same time, the corners of Zhang Mingtu's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Many things his future brother did were different from his plans.

But many times it has achieved excellent results.

Brilliant results were achieved along the southeastern coast, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra and the Nine Changes of Dragon and Snake were deduced to a very advanced level.

Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this brother talking nonsense with many martial saint-level people, and convincing those martial saint-level figures to borrow their intelligence and wisdom to perfect the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra and the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake.

Marvel.

The future brother really took all the resources currently available in his hands and tried his best to unite all the people who could be united.

Many times what I do is quite decisive and powerful, and it is no longer like the small workshop-like improvement of exercises before.

Although there is a suspicion of leaking the exercises, in Zhang Mingtu's case, this suspicion is actually zero.

After all, Zhang Mingtu's brother leaked the technique in the future and has nothing to do with the current Zhang Mingtu.

Those martial saint-level figures thought they had gained a lot, but no one could gain more than Zhang Mingtu.

Those future friends may be able to win once, but Zhang Mingtu can win twice, or even more, and win all the way, so how can he lose?

"It's coming, it's coming, if I keep trying this way, I will eventually be able to see the dawn of victory!"

Zhang Mingtu's eyes were bright and he continued to look down.

…

The Country of the Rising Sun was not defeated after all, and the second fleet has landed in the Country of the Rising Sun.

But the trouble in the Northland has become unstoppable. Among them, a group of Northland barbarians with the fastest troops have even arrived in Kyoto.

Anyone who fights in the military knows that there is something fishy in this, but not everyone in Kyoto, which is besieged and threatened by soldiers, is so sensible.

One after another urgent tokens were sent to the front line along the southeastern coast, so that the eldest prince would no longer declare war on the Land of the Rising Sun, but instead turn his troops around to protect Kyoto.

The victory that was so close and within reach was given up like this.

After putting in a lot of effort and fighting on the southeastern coast for many years, he was about to receive the final harvest. In the end, he was used like this. He was summoned back with many gold medals in a row. The eldest prince wanted to disobey the order, but he was only supervising the country in name.

He is not a real emperor yet.

He could only transfer his troops with great pain and regret.

As for whether there are any problems in the overall incident, of course there are problems.

It is ridiculous to threaten Kyoto with the strength of the barbarians from the north.

Kyoto is home to the most powerful people from all over the world. Whether it is the Pure Land Sect or Xuankong Mountain, there are top figures, and there are even martial saints among them.

And his own royal background is also extremely strong. To say that he is threatened by the barbarians in the north is too outrageous.

When I heard such news, I felt outrageous and outrageous.

How many people must have failed to work and how many people must have looked on coldly to have such an ending and such consequences.

Kyoto, the most powerful city in the world, was threatened by a group of barbarian soldiers and was beaten to the city gates.

This is outrageous.

Even Kyoto was able to resist the beam of light falling from the sky, the light that could directly kill the Martial Saint, but a group of barbarian soldiers couldn't resist it?

I feel like this is a joke, and it is part of the secret information coming from Donglin Temple.

There was something wrong with the protective formation in Kyoto, and the three Tianyuan cannons captured by the barbarians in the north happened to rush in through the loophole that day and hit the interior of Kyoto.

The cannon penetrated deep into the palace, destroying many palaces, and many palace maids and slaves died in the turmoil.

People throughout Kyoto were in panic.

From this aspect, Kyoto really seems to be in a precarious state.

"Coincidence...oh, coincidence!"

I simply don’t know how to evaluate him, but most of them are martial saint-level figures but very calm.

They regard such incidents as normal. The battle for royal succession has always been very terrifying. In the fierce moments in the past, there were even figures of Martial Saint level who died.

And now these non-saint-level figures have also learned that when the battle for the right to inherit the throne occurs, it is best for them to sit on the sidelines.

The Martial Saint is free and at ease. At least others are not allowed to force the Martial Saint to do something. Therefore, if they watch indifferently, they will have to lose at most.

In any case, after the other party ascends the throne, the settling of accounts will not be on their shoulders.

On the contrary, if you get involved too deeply in this incident, once you are on the wrong team, even if you are called a Martial Saint and remembered by a living emperor, it is easy for something to go wrong.

There is no need to wait until he ascends the throne. Before ascending the throne, he may fall in fierce battles.

I was not very clear about these unspoken rules, but I understood them deeply after listening to their explanations.

The eldest prince returned to the court with a large army, food, grass and baggage. Before he could reach Kyoto, the originally invincible northern barbarians suddenly retreated quickly.

I was speechless when I heard such news.

At this time, even if we go back to the southeast coast, the originally damaged formation should have been repaired by the Kingdom of the Rising Sun with all its efforts.

What's more, after the eldest prince returns to the court, all civil and military officials and relevant royal family members will not let him leave immediately, at least to ensure the stability of the Kyoto area.

The efforts on the southeast coast have been completely wasted.

The incident at the Northland border was like an illusion, and no one investigated it from beginning to end.

It was not that there was no one to investigate, Kyoto still issued an order, reprimanding the general guarding the northern border for failing to guard the border, and at the same time promoted another deputy general at the northern border.

This effectively amounts to no change.

But it is not difficult to guess that the eldest prince's lineage can make such a choice.

Many things at the North Border are complicated, especially since a great war had just occurred. The soldiers at the North Border suffered heavy casualties. Now that they are directly issuing harsh orders, many soldiers at the North Border will feel dissatisfied no matter what.

On the other hand, the situation at the northern border is quite complicated. A war is about to break out at this time, and it would be very unwise to change the generals at the last minute.

It is not that there are no characters in Kyoto who can lead troops to fight, but such characters are not very familiar with the northern border, and secondly, even though they are familiar with many things such as the border defense strategy of the northern border, they have not been there for a while.

The soldiers under my command were not very familiar with that area.

Changing generals on the spot is a taboo!

Therefore, although only one general was replaced, Kyoto also sent several deputy generals to participate in the construction of the northern border.

The eldest prince wanted to use gentle means to seize power. He would first send a certain amount of personnel to familiarize himself with the border personnel in the North and win people's hearts at the same time. After a certain amount of time for transition, he would directly change the general.
