Xiao Chenghao naturally knew that the value of the two could not be compared, but in his heart, he always believed that the black iron ore originally belonged to him. Now that it was occupied by Long Tian, ​​it was enough for him to take out these things.

But, is Long Tian so easy to fool? Apart from other things, just based on the function of black iron, he cannot give it up.

"Prince Long Tian, ​​the rebellion in Zongzhou has been quelled. Please return to the northern border as soon as possible. You also know that winter is coming soon, and the harassment of the barbarians will begin. Liangguo has also suffered at your hands. I am afraid that this year will launch a more fierce revenge. It is better for the northern border to prepare early."

After giving out the benefits, Xiao Chenghao began to chase people away.

"I'm really sorry, Your Highness, Prince Wen, you should know that this prince is here to suppress the rebellion. There are still some cities where the rebellion has not been suppressed. If I leave now, I'm afraid that His Majesty will punish me. Besides, I haven't received His Majesty's order yet, so I can't withdraw my troops without authorization."

"Once the rebellion in Zongzhou is revived, this prince can't bear this responsibility."

Long Tian refused directly. It is impossible for Long Tian to leave without taking the black iron ore. Not to mention you, Prince Wen, even if the old emperor ordered, Long Tian would not leave.

What's more, Long Tian has bigger plans. For the system task, Zongzhou must be taken.

As for the border war mentioned by Prince Wen, Long Tian is not worried. First, there is enough time, and second, with Huo Qubing and Ran Min, Long Tian believes that they can handle it.

"Long Tian, ​​it seems that you don't give face to this king."

Xiao Chenghao understood when he heard Long Tian's words. This guy is determined to occupy the black iron ore.

"What do you mean by that? This prince came here by order, but the matter is not yet completed. Not only can I not inherit the title of the Northern King, but I will also be punished by His Majesty. What does this have to do with Your Majesty?"

Long Tian's reasoning was so sufficient that it was impossible to refute it.

"How dare you, Long Tian, ​​you are just a prince, not a prince, and you dare to talk to the prince like this."

Long Tian was so disrespectful that the generals under Xiao Chenghao were not happy and jumped out to accuse him.

"You are so bold, the prince is talking to the prince, how can you have a say, you don't know the difference between respect and inferiority."

The generals on Long Tian's side, whether it was Xiang Yu, Dian Wei, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Fei and others, all had hot tempers. How could they watch others being arrogant in front of Long Tian and accuse him one after another.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, as if they were about to fight at any time.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates seem to be very unruly. Do you want me to help you discipline them?"

Long Tian looked at Xiao Chenghao and said without giving him face, which was almost a provocation.

Long Tian really wanted to clash with Xiao Chenghao at this time, so that he could achieve his goal.

"No, thank you for your kindness."

"Stay away, you don't know any rules."

Xiao Chenghao thought for a moment and swallowed his anger.

It would be extremely disadvantageous for Xiao Chenghao to fall out with Long Tian at this time. At the very least, the army he brought with him might not be able to do anything to Long Tian. If a fight broke out, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Xiao Chenghao endured it, but things are unpredictable. Xiao Chenghao didn't expect that he would eventually face Long Tian.

"Your Highness, this prince still needs to coordinate the affairs of Zongzhou to quell the rebellion, so I'll take my leave first."

"Your gift is too valuable, this prince is unworthy of it."

"Goodbye."

Long Tian didn't care about this little benefit.

Long Tian left gracefully, and Xiao Chenghao had no choice but to go back and think of a solution.

A few days later, the imperial envoy arrived.

The envoy stayed at Long Tian's place for half a day, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual and unable to find out the specific situation of Mangshan, he went directly to see Xiao Chenghao.

"Your Highness, the imperial court suspected something unusual in Mangshan, and when this envoy arrived, they tried every means to investigate. Fortunately, we were prepared in advance."

Cao Zhengchun kept staring at the people from the imperial court.

"It's normal. It would be strange if the imperial court didn't suspect anything. The situation of Mangshan can't be concealed at all. Therefore, we must mine as soon as possible. As long as we get the things, what can others do if they know."

The secret of Mangshan cannot be kept forever.

"Your Highness, our mining is going smoothly now. It won't take long to complete the mining."

Long Tian must complete the mining before the secret is completely exposed.

Recently, Mangshan has attracted a lot of attention. Not only the royal spies, but also people from various forces are constantly infiltrating. Cao Zhengchun has dealt with hundreds of people, but still can't stop the momentum.

"Your Highness, news came from Kyoto that the old emperor intends to punish Xiao Chenghao and wants to transfer him back. I am afraid that Xiao Chenghao will burn his boats, so we should be on guard."

With the arrival of the court envoy, the news from Kyoto also arrived.

"Your Highness, we really need to be on guard for this matter. His Majesty transferred Prince Wen back to Beijing, and he must be transferredInvestigate the rebellion in Zongzhou. Although King Wen did it in a covert way, it is not impossible to find out. "

"The court must have suspected it, but there is a lack of evidence. Once King Wen goes back, he may never come out again. I believe King Wen must be very clear about this."

"King Wen must face a choice, whether to obey the order to return to the capital. If he goes back, his future is uncertain and his life and death are unpredictable; if he does not go back, he will definitely take risks and start a rebellion."

"If King Wen takes action, we will definitely be his first target, not only because of the black iron ore, but more importantly, we are his only stumbling block in Zongzhou at this moment."

Jia Xu said, this is not difficult to guess, and judging from King Wen's previous actions, there is a high probability that he will rebel.

"King Wen has been entrenched on the border of Zongzhou for many years. Maybe he has reached some agreements with the alliance of various countries. Even if the rebellion fails, it is very likely that he will retreat to the alliance of various countries or even establish a small country to develop slowly. This should be King Wen's retreat. "

Jia Xu added again.

"Order the army to prepare and be on guard against King Wen's sneak attack at all times."

At that time, King Wen did not rebel, and Long Tian could not attack him directly, so he could only prepare secretly.

That day, Long Tian suddenly received an invitation from King Wen and an invitation from the imperial envoy.

"Your Highness, King Wen returned to Beijing to report on his work. The envoy invited you to the banquet and conveyed the will to let you take charge of the border. This means that King Wen has made up his mind to take action."

Jia Xu said as he looked at the two invitations.

If the court had issued a relevant decree, the envoy would have conveyed it directly the last time he came, and there was no need to wait until this time. Moreover, Long Tian's own intelligence network did not have any relevant intelligence.

It is obvious that King Wen used this as an excuse to deceive Long Tian away. Only by taking Long Tian down can the Zhenbei Army be resolved.

Otherwise, if the news that King Wen took action to eliminate the envoy spread, Long Tian would definitely attack him in the name of quelling the rebellion, and his army at the moment was insufficient and he had no confidence in resolving the Zhenbei Army.

This was the last resort.
