The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

The next morning, the gates of Shangjing were opened. Prince Ling took control of the situation in Shangjing in the shortest time, and the Imperial Guards also fell into his hands.

After returning last night, he carried out a major purge, not only eradicating the Guan family and several ministers, but also killing those diehards who were loyal to the two princes.

After solving all the troubles, his first thing was to welcome the Jingnan Army into the city.

The people did not know why, they only knew that the situation in the Daxi Dynasty had changed, the emperor had passed away, and the two princes who had the greatest potential to become emperor also died.

The remaining princes were too young and the princesses were not eligible to inherit the throne, so Prince Ling temporarily assumed the power of regent.

The Jingnan Army entered the city and soon began to exchange guards with the Imperial Guards. Two-thirds of the Imperial Guards guarding the city were replaced and the Jingnan Army took over the city defense.

The remaining imperial guards returned to their respective camps. At the same time, the 200,000-strong Jingnan Army entered the camp next to the imperial guards and placed them under surveillance.

Although the two sides reached a certain cooperation, Situ Yun obviously did not trust the other party. Prince Ling was very straightforward and agreed to all of Situ Yun's requests.

Outside the east gate, Situ Yun listened to the news brought back by his generals, and the solemn expression on his face relaxed a little.

"Father, it seems that Prince Ling really doesn't want to seize the throne. He just wants to preserve the inheritance of Daxi." Situ Wuji looked at his father and said.

"Yes, he came to visit last night, and I thought he just wanted to paralyze us and lure us into the city to attack. Now it seems that I misunderstood him!"

Listening to the words of his two sons, Situ Yun's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the road ahead, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

When the two brothers saw their father looking over there at the army approaching from afar, a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes.

When Prince Ling opened the city to surrender, they sent someone to inform Jiang Fan, waiting for Jiang Fan to lead the army into the city, or to send Li Changle and Li Zhi back.

Now it seems that Jiang Fan is preparing to lead his troops into the city. The two brothers looked at each other, with a hint of sarcasm and teasing on their lips.

As long as Jiang Fan leads his troops into the city, Jiang Fan and the Yan army he brings will have no way out.

A large group of troops appeared in front of them. They were the Yan army led by Jiang Fan. Looking at the approaching army, the two brothers' faces were filled with joy.

It looked like Jiang Fan was preparing to lead his troops into the city. There were 300,000 troops from the Great Western Dynasty in the city, surrounding Jiang Fan's 140,000 troops. Jiang Fan couldn't even escape!

As the army got closer, the expressions of the Situ family father and son changed slightly, and Situ Yun's eyes changed. There was struggle and cruelty. But these looks were only in the eyes.

Just when Situ Yun thought that Jiang Fan's army would enter the city, he saw that the army had just arrived outside the city and began to station outside the city.

Seeing this scene, the father and his two sons were stunned. If Jiang Fan’s army did not enter the city, their plan to destroy Jiang Fan would be in vain.

However, the father and his two sons did not give up. Even if Jiang Fan's army did not enter the city, if Li Changle and her brother were released, or if Jiang Fan entered the city with them, then everything was still within their calculations.

Just as they were thinking this, they saw Jiang Fan and his group continue to move forward, accompanied by tens of thousands of troops. Of the entire 140,000-strong army, it seemed that only a portion of them were stationed outside the city.

Seeing this scene, the three fathers and sons looked at each other with confusion and astonishment in their eyes.

They didn’t know what Jiang Fan was up to. Some of them stayed outside the city, and some stayed in the city. What did this guy want to do?

Could it be that he thought that if some people stayed outside the city, if something happened in the city, the army outside the city could still come to the rescue? Or did he think that having a large army stationed outside the city would be a threat to them? !

As long as they guard the city, even if there are a large army outside the city, it will be of no use. Even if they destroy Jiang Fan and the Yan army that enters the city, these troops outside the city can only worry.

Thinking of this, Situ Wuji and Situ Wushuang were filled with contempt. They had thought that this Prince Qin was truly a man of unparalleled wisdom.

Now it seems that he is nothing more than a useless fool. Such an arrangement is no different from seeking death.

Or maybe the other party was just foolish enough to believe them and was not on guard against them!

But no matter which point it was, they were willing to see it. Looking at the army coming over, looking at Jiang Fan in front of the army, and looking at Li Changle and Li Zhi beside Jiang Fan, the father and his two sons showed a look of joy on their faces.

Situ Yun smiled as he looked at Jiang Fan who was slowly approaching, and then looked at Li Changle and her brother.

Soon, the army arrived in front of the city gate. Jiang Fan reined in his horse and stopped. The army behind him moved forward quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they formed an oppressive force on the entire city gate.

Seeing this scene, Situ Yun and his sons' faces changed slightly, and they looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment.

They showed enough sincerity and opened the city gates to wait for Jiang Fan to arrive, but Jiang Fan was so domineering as soon as he arrived. What was he trying to do?

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin? What are you doing..." Situ Yun looked at Jiang Fan and frowned.

"General Situ, thank you for your hard work! From now on, the defense of the East Gate will be left to me!" Jiang Fan looked at Situ Yun with a faint smile on his face.

He looked gentle and seemed like a handsome gentleman, but underneath, he exuded a murderous intent.

Situ Yun and his son were completely shocked by Jiang Fan's words. They thought they had heard wrongly. Logically speaking, even if Jiang Fan brought a large army, he could only be considered a guest from afar.

The two parties are still in a cooperative relationship. They were the ones who captured Shangjing City. Now Jiang Fan actually wants to seize control of the city gate. Isn't this a sign of a falling out with them?

Isn't this kid afraid of a falling out with them and a fight between the two sides? The three of them, father and son, never thought that Jiang Fan would turn the tables like this.

If Jiang Fan controlled the city gate, how could they implement their plan? Control of the East Gate would allow Jiang Fan to attack or defend!

If he made any unusual moves, the final result would be a war between the two sides. Jiang Fan had the East Gate in his hands. Although he was not invincible, he definitely had the initiative.

Situ Yun opened his mouth to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start.

His two sons also wanted to speak, but the captain of the Imperial Guards guarding the city gate and a captain of the Jingnan Army shouted at the same time:

"Shangjing City Gate is our gateway to Shangjing. How can we hand over the city defense to outsiders at will?"

Following their voices, the two hundred soldiers guarding outside the city gate immediately stepped forward and looked at Jiang Fan with anger on their faces.

Seeing this, Situ Yun and his sons raised their lips slightly, revealing a playful look on their faces. They couldn't refuse Jiang Fan directly, but since his subordinates asked him to do so, Jiang Fan should retreat.

They don’t think Jiang Fan really dares to conflict with them!
