The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 361 Taking Advantage of the Situation

Hearing Chu Chengxiong's words, Zhou Shixian was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

He picked up Hu Anren's head, then picked up Hu Hetong's head that was thrown on the ground, rode on his warhorse and followed Chu Chengxiong to the other three city gates.

Chu Chengxiong’s idea was very simple. With Zhou Shixian, the commander of the East Gate, around, it would be much easier to quell the rebellion!

In the following time, just as Chu Chengxiong expected, under Zhou Shixian's explanation and the heads of the Hu family's uncle and nephew, those deceived generals quickly killed the men left by Hu Hetong. Set things right!

The entire Guiyun City's Wujing Army was completely under Jiang Fan's control. Jiang Fan launched a surprise attack as soon as he entered Guiyun City with a thunderous force, leaving Hu Hetong no chance.

Until his death, Hu Hetong never thought that Jiang Fan could resolve his fatal move so easily.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Fan was sitting in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. In front of him were the nearly one hundred remaining generals of the Wujing Army who were above the rank of colonel.

A lieutenant can lead a thousand men, plus the deputy general, the main general and others are all here. Everyone knelt on the ground, with trepidation and deep fear in their eyes.

"Now, Hu Hetong has been executed. You don't have to be afraid. I know you didn't know about it, so I can forgive you for what happened. But you have to be loyal to me from now on. Otherwise, I don't mind sending you to see Hu Hetong!"

Jiang Fan spoke coldly while sitting in the main seat.

The generals below responded quickly and respectfully, and no one dared to raise any objection.

Not to mention Jiang Fan's decisiveness and ruthlessness, the 10,000-strong army under Jiang Fan's command alone was not something they could contend with.

In fact, they had witnessed the strength of Jiang Fan's army during the recent rebellion. Tens of thousands of people were unable to break through the defense line of Jiang Fan's Huaining Army.

The Huaining Army suffered almost no casualties, while the Wujing Army lost nearly 7,000 people in this rebellion.

"From now on, tighten martial law at all city gates, and strictly check people entering and leaving the city gates. If any suspicious person is found, arrest him immediately... In addition, gather the people in charge of the various tribes in the city together. This king has something to say!"

When the generals heard this, Zhou Shixian, who was in the lead, immediately took orders.

Hu Hetong was killed, and the position of Wujing Army commander was vacant. Jiang Fan promoted this former Wujing Army commander. In terms of qualifications, he was considered a veteran in the Wujing Army.

This person has good character and no bad record. Before Jiang Fan came to Nanyue, he had already thought about supporting this person and helping him control the Wujing Army.

Zhou Shixian led the generals out of the city lord's mansion and went about their business. Although these people had almost escaped death, no one complained.

After all, almost everyone present had upgraded, the least was upgraded by half a level, and the most was upgraded by three levels.

After the rebellion was quelled, they were promoted again and of course remained loyal to Jiang Fan.

After everyone left, Zhong Ling came to Jiang Fan and frowned, "Your Highness, are you going to appease those tribesmen? But the tribes of Nanyue have great conflicts with Dayan. Those officials who have been stationed here for many years have oppressed the people of the tribes for too long. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to appease them?!"

"Moreover, the various tribes control the power of Nanyue. Even if we appease the people, I'm afraid it will not have any effect. Only when those in power in the various tribes submit to Dayan can we conquer Nanyue!"

She knew that Jiang Fan had summoned the leaders of the various tribes in the city in order to use them to appease the people, but the result of doing so would probably not be very good.

The only ones who can truly influence the situation are the leaders of the tribes. Even the tribal heads do not have much say.

The so-called leaders of each tribe were actually the nobles and gentry like those in Dayan. In addition to local officials, Dayan also used those nobles and gentry to manage the people.

The gentry of each tribe seem to have great power, but the leaders of those tribes have even greater power. In their own tribes, they are equivalent to imperial power.

Therefore, if Jiang Fan wanted to rely on these leaders to appease the people of the tribe, it would be impossible. The other party would only be loyal to the tribal leader.

Not to mention, the conflicts between the tribes of Dayan and Nanyue are difficult to reconcile. Moreover, even if the leaders of these tribes can be brought together.

But will these people really work for Jiang Fan sincerely? I'm afraid they will say one thing in public and another behind his back!

The situation here is too complicated and difficult to resolve. Otherwise, it would not have dragged on until now, and it would not have been possible to completely control South Vietnam.

In the end, South Vietnam rebelled!

Hearing this, Jiang Fan glanced at Zhong Ling, and said with a mysterious smile: "Don't worry, the people of the Nanyue tribe are also human beings. They also have their own needs and desires. As long as they are still human beings, they can be used!"

"Don't forget, although the people of Nanyue have conflicts with Dayan, the class conflicts in Nanyue itself are not small. They are just temporarily united against the outside world. In their eyes, we are outsiders."

"But what if I can make their lives better? What if I can help them get rid of class conflicts? "

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Zhong Ling was stunned. For a moment, she didn't understand what Jiang Fan meant, but she heard that Jiang Fan seemed to have a solution to this problem.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. Could Jiang Fan really solve such a complex and difficult problem?

While she was wondering, Zhou Shixian was invited back by Chu Chengxiong. Jiang Fan looked at him and said, "Keep those leaders under guard. Then, tell the people of Nanyue in the city that their tribal leaders have been imprisoned by us! They may be beheaded..."

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Zhou Shixian was stunned, Zhong Ling was stunned, and even Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui who were standing beside them were stunned.

When they came to their senses, they all breathed rapidly, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Zhou Shixian even said, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, no! If you kill all those tribal leaders, we will be finished! Not only will we lose Guiyun City, we can't even leave it!"

What he said was quite true. Although there were class contradictions in South Vietnam, the tribal leaders in the city did not necessarily have a good relationship with the people under their control.

But if they said that the soldiers of Dayan wanted to kill their leader, they would definitely rise up and fight with the soldiers of Dayan! Jiang Fan's move was tantamount to dropping a bomb on the people of South Vietnam.

Chu Chengxiong, Chu Chengrui and Zhong Ling also opened their mouths to say something, but they still held back.

The three had followed Jiang Fan for a long time, so they knew that Jiang Fan was not the kind of person who would do stupid things. He must have his own plans for doing this.
