Xiao Mian has a vast territory, stretching from the Three Gorges in the west to Jiaozhi in the south, Han River in the north, and Yuzhang in the east. He has 400,000 mercenaries. He is the largest prince in the south and currently calls himself the Emperor of Liang.

He is a descendant of the Southern Liang Dynasty, and his great-grandfather was Emperor Xuan of the Southern Liang Dynasty. Therefore, after raising the army, he restored the name of the Liang Kingdom, which can definitely be regarded as a restoration of the country.

However, Xiao Mian was suspicious and cruel by nature, which was okay at the beginning. However, as Qin Hu became more and more powerful and gradually unified the north, his sense of security became worse and worse, and he began to doubt the generals around him.

Recently, Qin Hu completed the unification of the north, and he was even more uneasy at night. Every day, he was thinking about when Qin Hu would attack him, and he was afraid that everyone around him would rebel.

In addition, Xu Shao and Pei Ji had recently frequently provoked troubles at the border, captured Jingmen Town, and secured the beachhead into the Yangtze River, which made him even more uneasy.

The current news is that Fei Qingnu Yang Gongshen, the general of the Yan State stationed in the Bashu area, built a large number of warships and united with the indigenous chiefs of the Bashu area to recruit soldiers. Dong Chun, who was stationed in Pengcheng and was stationed in Huainan, has also moved along the Huaihe River.

Heading south, there were more than 50,000 troops.

All this was probably directed at him, and it had to make him worried.

The most hateful thing was Dong Jingzhen, the general he sent to garrison Jingmen Town. He originally had high hopes for him, but he didn't expect that the 20,000-strong army would be eaten by Xu Shao not long after, and Qin Hu was beaten like this before he even came.

It's infuriating.

And being irritating was not the main thing. He now suspected that there was a problem with Dong Jingzhen's loyalty. After all, Dong Jingzhen and Zhang Xiu were the generals who first supported him, and they were quite capable of fighting. There should not be such mistakes.

Do they want to surrender when they see Qin Hu becoming bigger?

Did Xiao Mian just give the order to Zhang Xiu to arrest Dong Jingzhen? He felt that he was right to do so. There must be something wrong with Dong Jingzhen.

And he also suspected that something was wrong with Zhang Xiu. After all, no one could believe it at this time, so before Zhang Xiu left, he specially canonized Zhang Xiu as King of Qi.

If Zhang Xiu can't catch Dong Jingzhen again, it means he also has a problem.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu came back not long after, and brought Dong Jingzhen's head with him.

"See your majesty." Zhang Xiu was tall and tall, with a beard. He had always been arrogant in the Liang Kingdom, but his relationship with Dong Jingzhen had always been good. I didn't expect that he would be killed so quickly this time.

Xiao Mian was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped down from the dragon chair to help Zhang Xiu: "King Qi, thank you for your hard work. I didn't want to do this at first, but Dong Jingzhen wants to betray Liang Guo. If he leads Qin Hu's army to come, I will wait for my wife

My children will definitely die without a burial place, and I have no choice but to do so."

Zhang Xiu immediately expressed his position: "Your Majesty, Dong Jingzhen conspired to cause chaos and betrayed the Liang Kingdom. He really deserved his death. Your Majesty did this once and for all. I admire you very much."

Xiao Mian had been observing the changes in Zhang Xiu's expression, and found that he didn't feel guilty at all, and had a triumphant look on his face. He suddenly became suspicious.

Xiao Mian felt that if Zhang Xiu's face was full of grief, then this person would definitely betray him quickly, feel that he was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, and return to the north.

But Zhang Xiu's virtue shows that he is a treacherous villain. He can even betray his friends, so naturally he can betray him as a king without hesitation.

There is no doubt about this.

So his heart skipped a beat.

Xiao Mian said very cunningly: "King Qi, I have already thought about it. With your ability, you should shoulder a greater responsibility. I want to appoint you as the prime minister of the dynasty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Mian pondered and said: "However, Dong Jingzhen has many gang members. I am afraid that they will make trouble and feel uneasy. Is there anything you can do?"

Zhang Xiu thought for a moment, then secretly smiled sinisterly at the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, this has been part of my plan for a long time. For Your Majesty's sake, I feel that Your Majesty should immediately arrest all the generals close to Dong Jingzhen to prevent

What an unexpected disaster."

"for example?"

"For example, Wan Zan, this person has a close relationship with Dong Jingzhen, so we really can't keep him here."

Xiao Mian turned around, with murderous intent in his eyes. Wan Zan, along with Zhang Xiu and Dong Jingzhen, had initially recommended him as the emperor. Zhang Xiu's words were clearly excluding dissidents.

So after killing Wan Zan, will we kill Xu Deji, Guo Hua, Xu Xuanche and others again?

After killing them, will it be his turn as the emperor?

This signal is really too dangerous. If you don't take precautions, this despicable villain will either surrender or usurp the throne in the future. It seems that this person cannot be kept.

Xiao Mian said with a solemn expression: "King Qi, we can't rush this matter. I'm afraid that Wan Zan has already made preparations. If we don't do it, we will be successful. If we do, we will be successful. And you have to collect some evidence when you go back. Don't let it happen."

If the ministers have any doubts, please go down and prepare. I am waiting for your good news."

Zhang Xiu had no idea that the butcher's knife was about to come to his neck and left happily.

After he left, Xiao Mian immediately ordered: "Come on, summon General Wan Zan."

After Wan Zan arrived, Xiao Mian immediately told what had just happened: "Zhang Xiu framed Dong Jingzhen, and I accidentally believed it. I'm really sorry for Dong Jingzhen. But I didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was so vicious. After killing Dong Jingzhen,

, I want to deal with you again, General, don’t worry, I won’t let you get hurt.”

Wan Zan was extremely frightened and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiu has always been cruel and ambitious. This person is a traitor. Please be aware of it."

It took Xiao Mian a long time before he nodded: "But he has so many soldiers and horses, I don't dare to act rashly."

A fierce look appeared on Wan Zan's face: "Your Majesty, if you are determined, I will launch a surprise attack. With only a hundred soldiers, I will destroy all of them."

"It's enough to kill him alone, don't involve innocent people."

Wan Zan was overjoyed: "I obey."

Wan Zan thought to himself, you old boy, please don't do this to me. Everyone knows it was your idea to kill Dong Jingzhen. Now you want to use me to get rid of Zhang Xiu, so who will come to kill her.

You are so ruthless. I think I am not going to die soon.

But without showing his face, he strode out.

Wan Zan thought to himself, I must think of a way to escape, this person cannot be trusted.
