The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, the Sixth Prince Jiang Zheng looked at the information in his hands, his eyes filled with anger and murderous intent, and his whole body was shaking with anger.

The killing plan he had set up actually failed! The Red Lotus Cult was already a nobody. Not to mention killing Jiang Fan, they couldn't even save themselves.

As for the grain tax, Jiang Fan cut off the source of the trouble, directly destroying any chance he had of making trouble.

Burning grain?! The grain has been in the hands of the people and has been exchanged for silver. What is he burning?

Or he could wait until the grain tax was transported to the capital, and then send his men to rob the silver. But would Jiang Fan let him rob the grain tax so easily!

All his plans should have been a series of killings. Even if Jiang Fan had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, there would always be one link that would deal a fatal blow to Jiang Fan.

But who would have thought that after his first assassination attempt was broken, Jiang Fan broke all the subsequent assassinations one after another. The last attack even left him with no chance.

He was so angry that he smashed everything in front of him, and the servants who came to serve him were also killed by the angry Jiang Zheng. Only then did he slowly calm down his anger.

"Someone, tell the people in Huainan Prefecture to get ready. Before my eighth brother comes back, I will give him a big gift!" Jiang Zheng calmed down and shouted coldly to his confidant outside the door.

Upon hearing this, the confidant quickly responded and turned to leave.

On Jiang Fan's side, after taking back the other six prefectures in Hejianzhou, he turned his attention to the remaining Hezhong Prefecture and Heshang Prefecture.

There are still 50,000 Red Lotus Cult troops entrenched in these two prefectures. If they are not dealt with and allowed to develop, they may pose a threat to Dayan.

Wildfires cannot be extinguished, they will grow again with the spring breeze, so we must remove the roots!

Jiang Fan led nearly 3,000 white-robed cavalrymen under his command, as well as the 20,000 troops mobilized and integrated by Su Yuanguang from various prefectures, and attacked Hezhong and Heshang prefectures directly.

After the Red Lotus rebels in Hezhong Prefecture received the news, they rushed directly to Heshang Prefecture and joined forces with the rebels there.

However, after another ordeal, the terrified Red Lotus rebels were reduced to only 20,000 people. The remaining 30,000 people fled little by little in the past two days.

If the remaining 20,000 people were not the Red Lotus Cult's confidants, they would probably have all fled.

After Jiang Fan received the news, he immediately led his army and attacked Heshang Prefecture.

But when the army had just arrived less than ten miles away from Heshang Prefecture, news came from the front that the Red Lotus rebels on the river heard that Jiang Fan had come and simply abandoned the city and fled.

When Su Yuanguang, who was with the army, heard this military intelligence, he stood there in a daze, thinking he had heard it wrong!

Are the Red Lotus rebels so cowardly? They ran away before they even arrived!

He felt a little regretful. If the Red Lotus rebels escaped, it would be difficult for them to catch up with them.

After all, the two Heshang prefectures are close to Bingzhou. If they are allowed to hide in the mountains of Bingzhou, it will be extremely difficult to wipe them out again.

"Your Highness, if they escape to Bingzhou, it will be difficult for us to annihilate them again!" Su Yuanguang looked a little solemn.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan smiled at him faintly and said, "They...can't escape!"

His words stunned Su Yuanguang. The Red Lotus rebels had fled before they arrived, and it was too late to chase them now. How could those people not escape?

Jiang Fan ignored Su Yuanguang and continued to move forward with his army.

Heshang Prefecture is only more than 200 miles away from Bingzhou, and 20,000 Honglian rebels are rushing towards Bingzhou in a panic.

Leading the team is the Red Lotus Cult's grand elder and a dozen or so senior elders. In addition, there are nearly a hundred core members at the deacon level.

But when their army had just left Heshang Prefecture for less than a hundred miles, an army of 20,000 people appeared in front of them, and they surrounded the Red Lotus rebels from three directions.

When the remaining 20,000 Red Lotus rebels saw this scene, they were so terrified that they didn't even have the courage to fight.

Most of the people turned around and fled. When the remaining people saw this scene, they looked at each other with despair in their eyes.

With hundreds of his men, he immediately surrounded the Great Elder and others who were trying to escape. After a bloody battle, the Great Elder and others became prisoners.

As for the remaining Red Lotus rebels, who numbered less than 10,000, they chose to surrender directly. They didn't know where the sudden army came from.

But they no longer dared to fight.

When Jiang Fan led his army to Heshang Prefecture, the city gate was wide open and a group of troops were waiting to welcome them in front of the gate.

Seeing that team of soldiers in strange uniforms, Su Yuanguang felt a little nervous.

However, before he could react, a group of people came up quickly from the opposite side. Leading the group was Wu Guangyao, and following behind him were several strong men dressed as bandits.

These people were none other than the major leaders of the Eighteen Villages of Lianyun. Now the Eighteen Villages of Lianyun were under the command of Jiang Fan, and Jiang Fan sent Wu Guangyao over there.

Today, the Eighteen Villages of Lianyun is another trump card in Jiang Fan's hand.

Before the Red Lotus Religion started this time, Jiang Fan had already asked Chu Chengrui to notify Wu Guangyao, asking him to bring the chiefs of the 18 Lianyun Villages and 20,000 soldiers to help.

"Your Highness, Old Wu has fulfilled his mission and has captured the last remnants of the Red Lotus Sect. Of the 20,000 Red Lotus soldiers, 10,000 fled and the rest surrendered, along with the seven elders of the Red Lotus Sect."

When Wu Guangyao saw Jiang Fan, he immediately knelt down and saluted respectfully. There were still more than a dozen people being held at the city gate.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Fan curled his lips and nodded with satisfaction. This trip to Hejianzhou was successfully resolved.

Not only did it solve Su Yuanguang's grain tax problem, but it also eradicated the Red Lotus Sect.

Even if there are still remnants of the Red Lotus Sect who have not been caught, it is impossible for them to become powerful again!

As long as the Red Lotus Cult's deceptive tricks are publicized within Dayan and the disadvantages of the cult are made known to the people, the Red Lotus Cult will sooner or later be wiped out in the dust of history.

"Old Wu, you've done a good job...you've worked hard!" Jiang Fan walked up to Wu Guangyao and patted him on the shoulder with a slight smile.

Wu Guangyao said excitedly: "It is my honor to serve Your Highness!"

"Work hard... I won't treat you unfairly in the future..." Jiang Fan nodded.

His words were tantamount to a promise. Upon hearing this, Wu Guangyao became even more excited, with a look of despair on his face.

Su Yuanguang, who was standing by, nodded unconsciously when he saw this scene. He felt even more respectful and admired Jiang Fan in his heart.

He never thought that Jiang Fan had such a backup plan.

No wonder he was not worried at all about the Red Lotus uprising. Even if he failed to defeat the Red Lotus in a short period of time, he had enough energy to eliminate it bit by bit.

The group of soldiers before us who appeared out of nowhere are proof of this!

The following time was much simpler. Several elders and high-ranking members of the Red Lotus Sect, nearly a hundred people, were taken back to Hejian Prefecture, while Wu Guangyao took the soldiers of the Eighteen Villages of Lianyun back to Bingzhou.
