Chapter 260 The King of the Grassland

"Your Highness, can this person really do it? Do you want your subordinates to follow him with a team of people and help him secretly?"

Long Yi said with some worry, after all, this is a major event of changing the dynasty. Can a prime minister alone do it? Of course he didn't know much about the situation on the grassland.

"The person is already dead. We have already done the most difficult thing for him. If he still can't do the rest, then he is not worthy of being my collaborator. He will only be killed by then."

Li Xiang looked back at the grassland in the distance. His troops were also taken into the system space in batches by Li Xiang. These are the most useful soldiers. After returning to Liangzhou City, they still have to answer to Zaterk. A few words.

The group of people turned into dozens of people, and they headed towards the gathering place of Zaterk at high speed.

When Zaterk saw Li Xiang, his face was full of shock. After all, he had not received any news that Li Xiang was coming. At this moment, this guy was running Li Xiang's grassland. This area had been left behind long ago. , is the best piece of land in the entire northern grassland. Li Xiang saw many ponies in the distance.

"What happened?"

Zaterk said with some surprise that Li Xiang came to the grassland in person. He had not heard any news before, and he kept it hidden from him. Is there a rift between the two parties?

"Don't roll your eyes around. I have no intention of replacing you. I am here to do my own business. This time there will be great changes on the grassland. I have some bad news to tell you, Prime Minister Midu A coup has been launched and as far as I know your father has lost his life.”

When Li Xiang said this, he found sadness in Zaterk's eyes. Although his father betrayed him and launched an attack on Datang without caring about his life or death, that was his father after all. Any People will feel sad when they hear that their father has been killed. If this guy shows an excited look, Li Xiangcai will have to consider whether he should replace him.

"He is no longer my father. Ever since he didn't care about my life or death and made my younger brother the prince, he is no longer my father."

Zaterk did not want to shed tears in front of Li Xiang, but turned around and shook his head. When he looked back, he had a cold look. Li Xiang was not willing to expose this guy. Political struggle itself is cruel. , in Li Xiang's view, your father is unwilling to stand on my side. For the sake of the integrity of my own territory, I can only make your father disappear. Of course, Li Xiang will not say these words. If he wants to hate you, just Go hate Prime Minister Midu.

"Things on the grassland are changing rapidly. How many soldiers have you recruited here?"

Zaterk was a senior staff member of the Duhu Mansion and had the privilege of entering and exiting Liangzhou Mansion. In addition, he also had some cronies on the grassland. During this period, under Li Xiang's authorization, he also began to form his own army. , this army, in addition to helping manage Li Xiang's grassland, the rest is to expand its military strength.

Speaking of this matter, Zaterk was a little embarrassed. He originally thought that if he raised his arms, at least tens of thousands of people would defect to him, but so far there are less than 3,000 people.

"This is human nature. After all, it happens everywhere that people leave for tea. Besides, you are no longer the prince on the grassland. Everyone is thinking about making a future for themselves. It is not bad to have more than 3,000 people. Since If this is the case, I have left two thousand people for you on the grassland. They will come over after a while, and I will ask them to come to you. In addition to the three thousand people under your command, these will be regarded as your subordinates. Army, you monitor Prime Minister Midu for me."

Zaterk already knew that his father was killed by Prime Minister Midu. Although he said he didn't care, this man was also his father-killing enemy. Li Xiang now gave him 5,000 troops and asked him to keep an eye on Midu. The Prime Minister's actions were tantamount to making two people fight each other.

A superior person cannot make his subordinates too harmonious, but he also cannot make his subordinates bite too hard and keep them in a state of staring at each other all the time. This is the best state. Consume your own strength internally, but at the same time no one will betray you.

Originally, Zaterk wanted to refuse the two thousand cavalry given by Li Xiang, and he did not want anyone to monitor him all the time. But when he saw the people around him, he knew that he could not refuse. Now he is relying on others, Including the people serving around him, everything was arranged by Li Xiang. This was only done on the surface. He didn't know how many people were arranged secretly.

Zaterk also had his own ideals, but he found that he was getting further and further away from his ideals. Li Xiang was pressing closer. When he had his own weapons, Li Xiang would send people to monitor him. This group of people, so he can never be independent.

"You and my sister are not married yet."

Zaterk said this for no reason. Li Xiang was disgusted with such things, but Zaterk agreed with such things.

"Does this have anything to do with our cooperation?"

Li Xiang said somewhat speechlessly, why do women get involved in things between men?

"I can watch the entire grassland for you, but I will only watch it for my nephew. If you send someone else to take over the grassland, I may not guarantee that it will be like this. Either you kill me, or you Send a king to the grassland."

After Zaterk said this, he walked directly to his room without leaving any chance for Li Xiang to speak. Li Xiang looked at Zaterk's back and knew that this should be his last. stubborn.

Zaterk has been lying to himself. He did not surrender to Li Xiang, but only compromised temporarily. But through Li Xiang's series of actions, he knew that his chances of getting rid of Li Xiang were getting smaller and smaller, especially when the two thousand After the cavalry comes, I'm afraid there won't be any chance.

So Zaterk changed his mind. Now he is not working for Li Xiang, but working for his nephew. There is nothing to be ashamed of if he says this. As long as his sister can give birth to Li Xiang's son, that is For people who have blood with him, when the time comes, handing this grassland to him can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

Li Xiang also understood what Zaterk was thinking, but this kind of forceful relationship between husband and wife made Li Xiang feel a little disgusted. He just thought of the pitiful appearance of the eldest princess. No man could want her except himself, because Putting his own mark on him...
