I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 259 Seizing Power

At Shi Fuchen's command, the soldiers escorted Shi Fuyan away from his residence.

He himself stood in the study, quietly looking around.

This place, once unattainable for him, is now his.

But he knew this was just the beginning; the real challenge was just beginning.

As night deepened, the firelight inside the Yan King's mansion gradually dimmed.

But the flame in Shi Fuchen's heart burned ever brighter, for he knew that his ambition and desires would lead him to an even more glorious future.

This coup was just a small episode in his life; the road ahead was still very long...

After successfully imprisoning Shi Fuyan, Shi Fuchen immediately revealed his cold and decisive side.

He gave no time for anyone in the Yan King's mansion to react before swiftly taking further action.

"Send the order to seal off all exits and strengthen security at the Prince's residence."

Shi Fuchen gave orders to his trusted generals, his voice cold and firm, revealing an unquestionable authority.

With his command, the entire Yan King's Mansion was plunged into a somber atmosphere.

The soldiers acted swiftly and took control of all the key departments of the Prince's Palace.

Overnight, Shi Fuchen, with the help of his behind-the-scenes supporters, successfully seized real power in the entire Yan King's Mansion.

However, for Shi Fuchen, this was only the beginning of his ambition.

He knew that to truly secure his position, he had to control the powerful Crimson Guard, especially the elite Daoist soldiers—the Fire Kirin Guard.

This army is the most powerful military guarantee for the Yan King's Mansion and the key to maintaining his rule.

So, on the second day after taking control of the palace, Shi Fuchen forged a secret order from the Yan King and summoned Wei Linchao, the leader of the Fire Scale Guard.

He knew that to win over this elite force, he first had to appease this loyal and steadfast general.

After receiving the secret order, Wei Linchao was filled with doubt.

He had been stationed outside and was not fully aware of the changes taking place inside the Prince's Palace.

But the moment he stepped into the Prince's mansion, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The atmosphere inside the Prince's mansion was tense and chilling, with an unusual glint in the soldiers' eyes.

"General Wei, you've arrived."

Shi Fuchen stepped forward with a smile and said, "My father has ordered you to immediately lead the Fire Scale Guard under my command."

Wei Linchao frowned, keenly noticing the flaw in Shi Fuchen's words.

When did the Flame King order the Fire Kirin Guard to be handed over to the Second Prince for command?

This is clearly a lie.

However, he dared not openly question the authenticity of the secret order, since Shi Fuchen had already taken control of the real power in the Prince's Mansion.

"Second Young Master, when will His Majesty order you to take command of the Fire Kirin Guard?"

Why didn't I receive any notification?

Holding the secret order in his hand, Wei Linchao asked in a deep voice.

"General Wei, you may not know this, but the war against Daqian is now very complicated."

"To prevent that tyrant of the Great Qian Dynasty from resorting to underhanded tactics, my father secretly entrusted this matter to me not long ago."

"The situation inside and outside the palace is complicated right now. For the sake of the overall situation, my father has decided to temporarily entrust the Fire Scale Guard to me."

A cold glint flashed in Shi Fuchen's eyes, but he still maintained his smile as he spoke.

Wei Linchao sneered inwardly; he naturally didn't believe Shi Fuchen's nonsense.

But he also knew that since Shi Fuchen had taken control of the entire palace, the Chi Yu Army was likely in grave danger.

At this moment, he was outnumbered and outmatched, and had no chance against Shi Fuchen.

Forced by circumstances, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Since it is the king's order, this humble general naturally dares not disobey."

"I only hope that the Second Young Master will treat the soldiers of the Fire Scale Guard well; they are all loyal and brave warriors."

Wei Linchao took a deep breath and sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Fuchen laughed heartily: "General Wei, rest assured, I will naturally treat them well. As long as you are loyal to me, I guarantee you a bright future."

Wei Linchao smiled bitterly to himself, knowing Shi Fuchen's ambition and hypocrisy.

But he also understood that he had no other choice at that moment.

He could only compromise for the time being and look for opportunities to fight for the future of the Yan King's Mansion.

As long as we find the eldest son, there is still a chance!

Thus, under Shi Fuchen's coercion and enticement, Wei Linchao finally chose to compromise.

He was not truly subservient to this ambitious second son, but the circumstances forced him to make this choice.

Shi Fuchen, through his own methods and schemes, successfully took control of the most powerful military force of the Yan King's Mansion—the Fire Kirin Guard.

At the same time, this was due to the secret support of those behind the scenes.

Shi Fuchen successfully gathered all the generals and officers of the Red Imperial Army together.

At the military conference, Shi Fuchen sat in the main seat, his sharp gaze sweeping over the many Red Guard generals present.

He knew that this meeting would be a crucial step in his control of the Crimson Guard.

"Everyone, the Yan King's Mansion has now changed hands, and my master Fu Chen is temporarily in charge thanks to your kindness."

Shi Fuchen spoke slowly, his voice firm and powerful.

As soon as he finished speaking, a general stood up.

"Young Master, what makes you qualified to lead our Crimson Imperial Army?"

"How can we be sure that the young master will lead us to a better future?"

He stared intently at Shi Fuchen, his tone revealing a hint of provocation.

As soon as this general spoke, the numerous Red Guard generals below him remained silent, clearly at their behest.

"That's a good question, General. Although my master Fu Chen is young, he is not ignorant. I know very well that the Crimson Imperial Army is the elite force of the Yan King's Palace, and every soldier is a brave and skilled warrior."

Shi Fuchen smiled slightly and responded calmly.

"However, we are not fighting alone."

"Fu Chen is fortunate to have the support of the Heavenly General Yuan Hong."

"General Yuan's unparalleled martial prowess is something that everyone has witnessed."

"With him as our strong support, what is there to worry about in achieving our great cause?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Yuan Hong and continued.

"Generals, although I, Yuan Hong, am not talented, I am willing to serve Master Shi with utmost loyalty."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong stood up and bowed to the generals present.

"In addition to General Yuan Hong, General Wei is also willing to bring the Fire Scale Guard to join Fu Chen in this grand undertaking."

Looking at the various expressions on the faces of the generals below, Shi Fuchen smiled slightly and said calmly.

"Um..."

Seeing that Wei Linchao, the strongest member of the Crimson Imperial Army, had not yet arrived and was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone's hearts sank.

"Since General Yuan and the Second Young Master have both said so, we naturally dare not have any further objections."

"We hope that Master Shi will keep his word and lead our Crimson Guard to a better future."

At this moment, Han Feng, one of the deputy commanders of the Crimson Imperial Army, could only nod helplessly upon seeing this.

Thank you all for your trust and support.

"My master Fuchen will certainly live up to everyone's expectations."

Shi Fuchen was secretly delighted, but on the surface he remained calm.

Seeing everyone orderly leaving the central command tent, Shi Fuchen and Yuan Hong walked side by side.

"Young Master, you did very well."

Yuan Hong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your support and encouragement, General Yuan."

"With your help, my confidence has greatly increased."

Shi Fuchen also smiled, his gaze fixed intently on Yuan Hong.

Compared to others, Yuan Hong, this celestial general, was clearly more important to Shi Fuchen.

Unfortunately, Yuan Hong didn't think much of him.

As time went on, many generals of the Crimson Guard surrendered.

Shi Fuchen gradually established his prestige within the Red Imperial Army.

With the military support of Yuan Hong, he successfully took control of this army of over 100,000 men.
