The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

All the people from the Shi and Fan families were also arrested. After a round of interrogation, several officials who were affiliated with the Sixth Prince were killed, as well as the evil family members of the Shi and Fan families.

As for the remaining officials and their families who were involved in the case, they were all exiled!

Jiang Fan doesn't want to be a tyrant. He will never show mercy to those who deserve to be killed, but he doesn't want to kill innocent people.

At the same time, Jiang Fan transferred another 20,000 people from Huaining Prefecture, and rushed towards Jiangyue City with Li Changle's siblings, Zhong Ling, the Chu brothers, and Guan Yizhong who was imprisoned in the prison car.

On the other side, Jinzhou City also sent out 20,000 troops to intercept and kill the 150,000 troops sent by the Daxi Dynasty.

The 150,000-strong army of the Great Western Dynasty was led by the Marquis of Zhenxi, who was also Li Changle's grandfather. Since the Great Western Dynasty thought they could win, Jiang Fan completely dashed their hopes.

Looking at Jiang Fan leading an army of 20,000 on the journey, Guan Yizhong's face was full of sarcasm and mockery.

He didn't think Jiang Fan could fight against the Great Western Dynasty's army with these 20,000 men. Even Chu Yan'er didn't dare to attack the city, so what if there were 20,000 more men!

Li Changle's face was full of worry along the way. Although she placed her hopes on Jiang Fan, she also knew that the current situation seemed unfavorable to Dayan.

Jiang Fan only brought 20,000 men. Could he really turn the tide of the war? She had thought that Jiang Fan would transfer tens of thousands of men from the 80,000 Imperial Guards stationed in the capital and the 80,000 Zhenyuan Army to form an army of 100,000 men to attack Jiangyue City directly.

She didn't know that the army in the capital could not be easily mobilized at any time. Otherwise, once the capital was attacked, it would be very difficult to defend it with only a few tens of thousands of people left behind.

While Jiang Fan was rushing to Jiangyue City, he also sent a letter to Chu Yan'er, in which he wrote his thoughts.

After reading the letter, Chu Yan'er knew that she only needed to cooperate with him to capture Jiangyue City in a short time, without even spending much manpower.

Of course, Jiang Fan also knew that Chu Yan'er was not only worried about the loss of troops, but also the safety of the people.

The Great Western Dynasty occupied three cities. If they were desperate and used the common people to threaten the Great Yan army, the Great Yan army would probably be intimidated.

If a forced attack on the city resulted in casualties among the civilians, and the Daxi Dynasty escalated the matter, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of Dayan.

However, Jiang Fan also had countermeasures. He had already asked newspapers in various places to start spreading the news that the Great Western Dynasty wanted to use the people to threaten the Great Yan Army. Therefore, the Great Yan Army was reluctant to attack the city.

Even if the Great Western Dynasty used the people to threaten the Great Yan Army, or if something went wrong, the impact could be minimized.

Moreover, as the newspapers spread in Jiangyue City and the other two cities, even if the Daxi Dynasty wanted to use the people of Dayan to threaten the Dayan army, it would have to think carefully.

There are some things you can do, and some things you can’t do! If you do them, you will be cursed for eternity! You will be infamous forever! You may even pay with your life.

Like the killing god who massacred millions of people during the Warring States Period in the previous life, to others, he was a butcher, but to his country, he was a hero, a hero who bore the infamy for the country.

Finally, in order to calm the impact of this incident, the killer finally died to apologize! He is admirable. He took all the blame on himself.

He has such courage, but how many people like him are there in this world! This requires great courage and determination.

The 20,000-man army soon arrived at a fortress in Jiangyue City, where 50,000 soldiers from the Great Western Dynasty were guarding the city. The general guarding the city was called Duanmu Xiu.

He is a fierce general under Guan Yizhi, and his strategy is considered one of the four wisest generals under Guan Yizhi. This is why Guan Yizhi kept him in this city.

If an accident happens, with this person around, Guan Yizhi will have a chance to turn the situation around.

On the city wall, Duanmu Xiu looked at the 20,000 troops below with surprise and confusion in his eyes. He didn't know where this army came from.

He never expected that the enemy would appear outside the city without making any noise. However, he just looked coldly at the army under the city wall and ordered them to defend the city to the death.

With 50,000 soldiers defending the city and only 20,000 soldiers on the other side, it was simply impossible to capture the city. He even thought about leaving the city and leading his troops to directly disperse the enemy in front of him.

After all, he had 50,000 defenders here. Even if he only sent out half of his troops, he could easily destroy the enemy by launching a surprise attack when the enemy was attacking the city.

"General, they are ready to attack the city!" At this moment, a deputy general on the city wall looked at the enemy troops approaching the city gate and spoke in surprise.

However, although there was surprise in his voice, there was more confusion and ridicule.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Xiu frowned as he looked at the army heading towards the city wall without even a siege ladder.

It was the first time he saw a large army attacking a city without even a siege ladder. How could they attack the city? Did they want the soldiers to climb the city walls?

Even if these soldiers could climb the city wall, they would probably be killed by the soldiers on the wall before they could climb up.

"Hmph... It seems that Dayan is deserted. A bunch of brainless people want to attack the city like this. Do they want to die?!" Duanmu Xiu had a trace of contempt on his face.

However, just as he said this, thousands of soldiers came to the city wall and shouted in unison: "The King of Qin of Great Yan is here, the Great Western Army quickly leave the city and surrender!"

As soon as these soldiers spoke, all the Dashi soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded. They thought they had heard it wrong.

What did this guy say? The King of Qin from Dayan is here? You may have some reputation as the King of Qin, but who do you think you are! You are so great just because you are the King of Qin.

20,000 troops came to attack the city, but they didn't even have a siege ladder, and they asked them to surrender. This is simply infuriating. And it seems like they are here to make people laugh.

After the astonishment, there was a burst of ridicule and laughter from the city wall.

One deputy general even mocked, "Haha, are you, the King of Qin, so great? You asked us to surrender quickly. You can't even capture the city, so why should we surrender?"

"If you know what's good for you, then let your King Qin surrender immediately, and our general will spare his life! Otherwise, when we leave the city, you will die!"

But just as they uttered their mocking words, the shouts from below changed again.

"Since you are unwilling to surrender, please accept my death, soldiers of the Dashi..." As the shout rang out, there were responses one after another.

"Please, soldiers of the Great West, go to die...Please, soldiers of the Great West, go to die!"

The shouts became louder and louder, and suddenly an invisible murderous atmosphere formed outside the city. The astonishing military might made the mocking Dashi soldiers on the city wall change their faces slightly, with horror and fear in their eyes.

Even though the Yan army under the city wall didn't even have siege equipment, the enemy's military might was truly terrifying.
