The initial thought of the King of Growth was that Emperor Zhenwu was commanding such a large number of troops during his trip. He was afraid that something might happen in the world or in hell. He was ordered to go to stabilize the situation. After reading the imperial edict and learning that the other party was indeed here to reinforce Nantianmen, he felt doubtful in his heart. I couldn't help but wonder if Heaven was about to start a war with Buddhism. Could these 50,000 soldiers be preparing to defend against the invasion of Buddhism?
Give him eight hundred exquisite hearts with seven orifices, and he probably would never have thought that there would be rebellion in Heaven.
The King of Growth actually felt a little sad at this time.
The four heavenly kings are actually the four heavenly kings of Buddhism. Guarding the four heavenly gates is actually a symbol of their goodwill towards heaven as a Buddhist sect.
Not to mention the four of them, all the gods in heaven are like mirrors in their hearts.
Using more modern vocabulary to describe the positions of the four people, it is probably like a secondment between two companies. Although the four kings have been in heaven for many years, they have already adapted to life in heaven, and even From their true intentions, they already regard themselves as members of the Heavenly Family, but the anguish in their hearts cannot be explained to outsiders after all.
When there was a rift between the Buddhist and Taoist families, the people who were most embarrassed and at a loss as to what to do were not the great immortals with titles who held positions in both the Buddhist and Taoist families, but the four gatekeepers.
"Zhenjun, let me ask one more question." The King of Growth sighed.
"But it doesn't matter." Zhenwu said.
"Is there something going on with Buddhism and Heaven?"
The King of Growth is extremely careful with his words, for fear that he may inadvertently reveal some unspeakable and shocking secrets.
Zhenwu was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he realized where the other party had guessed.
He smiled slightly and said, "King of Growth, you can rest assured. Although I don't know what happened, I think it has nothing to do with Buddhism."
"I promise." Zhenwu added.
The King of Growth nodded, feeling relieved.
"Then how to increase defense?" King of Growth asked.
"The heavenly soldiers led by the King of Heaven will not move, and the troops I lead will coordinate and deploy their own defenses." Zhenwu said.
"That's fine." The King of Growth nodded.
Emperor Zhenwu immediately ordered the generals to begin orderly setting up defensive formations at Nantianmen.
Don't look at Zhenwu's elegant appearance. Since his name contains the word "武", he is naturally very good at marching and forming formations. However, Zhenwu usually does not directly command the troops.
There were Qiyao Xingjun under him to drive, and logically speaking, they should all be led by Dou Bu. However, among them were civil servants like Wenquxing and Wuquxing, who could directly listen to the orders of the Jade Emperor. Not everyone is good at leading troops in war.
Among the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, there are three who are best at leading troops.
Breaking the military! Greedy wolf! Huge door!
The three Star Lords, as divine generals with great reputations even in the human world, were actually brought here together by Emperor Xuanwu this time.
Of course, there is another person named Xuanwu who is Emperor Zhenwu's confidant. He was transferred to the frontal battlefield by Emperor Ziwei this time and is not among them.
The three god generals stepped forward to pay homage to the King of Growth, and then began to make arrangements for additional defenses.
The King of Growth was chatting casually with Emperor Zhenwu, but his attention was always focused on the 50,000-strong army.
I saw that they seemed to have been well prepared, methodically but extremely neatly strengthening the defense of Nantianmen's key points. Originally, a defender of Nantianmen was surrounded by at least five people, and these people seemed to be uniformly composed of Jumenxing. jurisdiction.
The King of Growth is a little confused, but what makes him even more puzzled is yet to come.
After these reinforced heavenly soldiers stood still, they were not facing outside the Tianmen. Instead, they stood with their backs to the outside and toward the Heavenly Court.
As a result, the scene became strangely funny. The heavenly soldiers who were originally stationed were standing outside the Tianmen with weapons in hand. These newly added heavenly soldiers did the opposite. However, due to their extremely large number, the scene looked like those who were originally stationed. The heavenly soldiers stationed at Tianmen are the ones standing in the wrong direction.
This point made the King of Growth feel a little awe-inspiring.
Is it possible that these heavenly soldiers are not used to defend against external enemies, but against internal enemies?
Although the King of Growth is not shrewd, he is definitely not a fool. What's more, he is a general who often leads troops, so why can't he see the meaning of such a defense?
As one of the four most gossipy people in Heaven, he naturally knew that one thing happened here before he was on duty, that is, nine little guys sent by Buddhism made a big fuss in Nantianmen, and the Jade Emperor seemed to have no reason to do so. He was very angry because he could catch them. The four marshals seemed to have suffered different injuries when fighting each other.
So he couldn't help but guess at this moment, could these 50,000 heavenly soldiers be guarding those nine people?
But fifty thousand heavenly soldiers is too exaggerated. Could it be that all of those people are monkeys?
I don’t know where King Zengzheng’s guess went, so Emperor Zhenwu didn’t explain it to him, so he just let him guess.
After the formation was properly arranged, Emperor Zhenwu breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became more relaxed and calm.
As long as this step is completed successfully, the next step will be much simpler.
At this moment, a group of white clouds suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Although it was far less powerful than the 50,000 heavenly soldiers, it was still menacing.
Emperor Zhenwu narrowed his eyes, here he comes!
The King of Growth was wondering, why is Nantianmen so busy today?
"King of Heaven, there is one thing I need you to promise me." Zhenwu said.
"True Lord, please speak." King Zengzheng said.
"No matter what happens next, I still hope that the King of Heaven will be responsible for guarding the land and will not leave his post without permission." Zhenwu said, "As the most important line of defense for Heaven, Nantianmen must not lose anything."
The King of Growth was confused, but he still nodded and said, "This is natural. As long as I am here, no foreign enemy can even think of crossing the gate of heaven."
But at this moment, he was completely confused.
The first five people came, leading more than 10,000 heavenly troops, coming with great momentum. They stopped two miles away from the Nantian Gate and stopped moving forward.
The first five people all lined up and headed straight for Nantianmen.
The five heavenly kings were all dressed in armor, and they were majestic and murderous. However, their faces were extremely ugly at the moment. It was probably because they could not imagine that the other party would take advantage of them.
There are so many heavenly soldiers!
"I've met Emperor Zhenwu." The five of them saluted the oncoming Emperor Zhenwu.
"Deng Zhong, Xin Huan, Zhang Jie, Tao Rong, and Yu Guang, tsk tsk tsk." Emperor Zhenwu sighed, "The Jade Emperor looks down on me so much, why did he send the five of you here?"
Deng Zhong, Xin Huan, Zhang Jie, and Tao Rong are four of the twenty-four Heavenly Monarchs of the Lei Department in the list of gods. Yu Guang is the Lord of the South, a god at the level of Emperor Zhenwu. In front of me, these five people are indeed not even worthy of carrying shoes.
"The Emperor wants to rebel?!" Yu Guang asked.
Emperor Zhenwu did not answer the other party's words. He looked up at the army behind the five people and said: "There are fifty thousand elite soldiers in Nantianmen at this time. I advise you to either put down your weapons and surrender, or go back and ask for help from your Jade Emperor. Of course you want to It’s okay to hit me directly, you have to be prepared to die.”
The expressions of the five people changed, and they heard someone speak from the corner of their eyes: "The last few generals were ordered to come to strengthen the defense of Nantianmen. It is convenient to ask Emperor Zhenwu to withdraw his troops."
"It's inconvenient." Zhenwu waved his hand, "That's it for now, don't say it was unforeseen."
After saying this, Emperor Zhenwu simply turned around and walked back.
The five of them were embarrassed in place, looking at each other and knowing that today's events were going to be troublesome.
The Twenty-Four Cuiyun Protector Heavenly Lord and the four masters of the southeast, northwest and northwest received the Jade Emperor's order and were ordered to seize the four heavenly gates. They did not start a war with the rebels. If they could occupy the heavenly gates first, it would be a disaster. It's easy to say that as long as the other party dares to fight, it will be tantamount to rebellion, but the other party has seized the opportunity, which is difficult for them.
What's more, there is now a disparity in strength between the two sides. Even if you think about it, you know that it is impossible to take down Nantianmen with only these ten thousand people. But when they go back in such a dejected manner, the Jade Emperor is furious. Who will bear the anger?
The five people fell into an awkward situation, and they were in a dilemma.
"I propose to stay put. On the one hand, we cannot bear the fuse that provokes a war between the two sides. On the other hand, if the Jade Emperor really asks, we can say that we can use 10,000 to contain the opponent's 50,000 elite soldiers and not move. At least A past that can be explained to both sides." Deng Zhong suggested.
Except for Yu Guang's serious expression, the other four had no objections.
"Think about it, if the other three Tianmen are also of this size..." Deng Zhong saw the unkind look on his face from the corner of his eye and began to persuade.
With horror in his peripheral vision, he naturally understood what this meant.
Doesn't that mean that not counting the troops on the frontal battlefield, the other side defeated 200,000 heavenly soldiers from just four heavenly gates? !
Can Tianting still win?
No one asked this question, but everyone knew it.
"Zhenjun, what's going on?" King of Growth asked.
"The Jade Emperor is afraid that Nantianmen's defense is unstable, so he will add another 10,000 troops." Zhenwu smiled casually.
The King of Growth was even more puzzled.
What is going on in this heaven?
With the rank of Emperor Zhenwu, he is naturally aware of Emperor Ziwei's arrangements. The main goal of the armies sent to the four heavenly gates is by no means the defense of the defenders of heaven, but the possible external reinforcements of heaven.
So seeing these additional troops sent by the other side, Emperor Zhenwu knew in his heart that it was impossible for Nantianmen to fight.
I'm afraid the Jade Emperor also has the same thoughts as the Ziwei Emperor.
Then the final sight will still fall on the frontal battlefield between the two sides.
On the frontal battlefield, Emperor Ziwei will not lose.
Zhenwu breathed out a sigh of satisfaction, looking forward to what the Heavenly Court and even the Taoist Sect would look like when Emperor Ziwei finally took the highest position.
