Li Changjie never thought that Nong Zonggan, who he had always regarded as a confidant, would betray him, and secretly took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, taking the opportunity of holding a birthday banquet for him, and arrested him and the generals loyal to him in one fell swoop, but Nong Zongjian did not kill them, but temporarily imprisoned them, and then purged the army and the court, and all those who were unwilling to submit to Nong Zongjia were all killed or locked up by him, although this greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the army in Thang Long Mansion. But in the end, Nong Zongjia finally got a preliminary grasp of this army that originally belonged to Li Changjie.

After imprisoning Li Changjie, Nong Zonggan immediately reported to Zhao Yan, in fact, as early as more than a month ago, he had secretly sent a letter to the officials of the deep-water port, and contacted Zhao Yan through the other party, indicating that he was willing to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, and in order to show his loyalty, he was willing to assist the Great Song Dynasty to pacify the entire Jiaozhi.

For Nong Zongji, the person who took the initiative to climb up to his own Jiaozhi, Zhao Yan did not choose to believe it at the beginning, but secretly asked people to investigate, and then put forward the conditions, if you want to gain your trust, then show some strength, after all, Nong Zonggang is now only a general under Li Changjie, and he does not have too many troops, so he is not qualified to get Zhao Yan's attention, but Nong Zongji is really ruthless, and he directly attacked Li Changjie to seize the military power.

"What a Nong Zonggan, he really let him succeed, I didn't expect that Li Changjie's old fox to capsize in the gutter and let his subordinates be imprisoned!" Zhao Yan in the study couldn't help but laugh after looking at the letter written by Nong Zongjie in his hand, although he reminded Li Changjie last time. told him that Li Rizun wanted to harm him, but that was just to provoke their relationship, in fact, Zhao Yan did not have any good feelings for Li Changjie. Especially thinking that tens of thousands of people in Yongzhou died at the hands of Li Changjie in history, which made Zhao Yan hate Li Changjie very much, and now he learned that the other party was imprisoned, Zhao Yan was naturally very happy.

"Hehe, you still have a vision, third brother, I thought this was a trap set by Li Changjie, but I didn't expect this Nong Zonggan to really have a rebellious heart. It looks like the sky is going to die! At this time, Xu Yuan, who was sitting in the study, also smiled.

"That is, this matter is indeed the third brother's vision, and I thought it was a conspiracy of Jiaozhi at the beginning. has been persuading the third brother not to be fooled, but he didn't expect that the other party would really imprison Li Changjie. At this time, Wang Shiyue, who was sitting opposite Xu Yuan, also said with a smile, at the beginning, he and Xu Yuan didn't believe Nong Zongji's words, but Zhao Yan thought that he could give it a try. Anyway, there is no loss for Da Song. But I didn't expect it to be a real success.

"Hehe, I just wanted to gamble, but I didn't expect it to be really successful, now Nong Zonggan has controlled the Shenglong Mansion, although the strength has been greatly damaged, but it is also a not weak force, now it depends on how we use this power to completely pacify Jiaozhi!" Zhao Yan also smiled at this time and said, when he received Nong Zongyan's letter. In fact, there were some doubts, but his intuition told him. Nong Zonggan should be worth believing, so there is the following thing, and now it seems that his intuition is indeed very spiritual.

"Listening to what you mean, third brother, it seems that there is already a way to use Nong Zongqian to solve Jiaozhi, right?" Wang Shiyue saw Zhao Yan's appearance, and immediately asked.

"Hehe, I do have some ideas, but I don't know if Li Rizun will take the bait?" Zhao Yan smiled lightly again and said, the news of Nong Zong's imprisonment of Li Changjie will spread sooner or later, with Li Rizun's character, I am afraid that he will take action soon, and then it will be his chance, of course, in order to let Li Rizun do it as soon as possible, he can also do something from it.

In the temporary palace of Nanding City, Li Rizun lifted a vase and slammed it on the ground, as a result, with a sound of "bang", the valuable porcelain of the Great Song Dynasty official kiln was smashed into tens of millions of pieces, and the other generals in the hall saw Li Rizun's angry appearance, and they were all frightened and took a few steps back, but no one dared to persuade him, because today's news was so angry that no man would bear it, let alone Li Rizun, the king of Jiaozhi.

"Nong Zonggan! This king must break your body into pieces! Don't even want to live in your family! Li Rizun roared with a hideous face, he never expected that there was news from the Shenglong Mansion that Nong Zonggang actually broke into his palace and slept his queen and several daughters, which means that he is not only green now, but also has a cheap son-in-law, as soon as he thought of this, Li Rizun immediately went crazy, and he couldn't wait to bite Nong Zonggang to death now.

However, Li Rizun still didn't know the news that Li Changjie had been imprisoned by Nong Zongjiao, so although he was very angry, but when he thought of Li Changjie's methods and the troops in his hands, he didn't dare to act rashly, after all, he didn't think that he would be the opponent of Li Changjie, a veteran of a hundred battles, and even he was still wondering if this news was deliberately released by Li Changjie, in order to provoke himself to attack Shenglong Mansion, and then with Li Changjie's means, I am afraid that he will never come back.

It is precisely in consideration of the above that Li Rizun let everyone retreat after losing his temper, he himself needs to calm down, although his wife and daughter are occupied by others, but as a king, he must focus on state affairs, this kind of personal honor and disgrace can only be put in the end, from this point of view, Li Rizun is still a more qualified king.

However, Li Rizun did not calm down for a few days, and soon he received the second news, to be exact, it should be two news, and for him, one is good news and the other is bad news, the good news is that Nong Zongjie and Li Changjie have infighting, and now Li Changjie has been imprisoned by Nong Zongji, and Li Changjie's original army has also been purged, and now his strength must be greatly damaged. But the bad news is that Nong Zonggan blatantly stayed in the palace, and his queen, concubines and daughters all became Nong Zongqing's pillows.

When these two news came, Li Rizun didn't know whether he should be happy or angry, but he knew that his opportunity had come, and he immediately gathered an army to prepare to attack Shenglong Mansion, after all, although Nong Zongjia mastered Li Changjie's original army, but after purging, his strength would definitely be greatly damaged, plus Nong Zongjie was not Li Changjie, so Li Rizun had no scruples at all, and even he had imagined in his heart that after he broke through Shenglong Mansion and captured Nong Zongjiao, would he cut him with a thousand knives or light a sky lantern, or what other more cruel punishment?

A few days later, Li Rizun, who was ready, led an army of 50,000 to kill the Dragon Club again, this 50,000 army is already all the troops he can use, it can be said that if he does not succeed, he will become benevolent, in addition, he also issued a royal order, calling on all parts of Jiaozhi to go with him to clear the rebellion, but some time ago, with the capture of Shenglong Mansion by Li Changjie, Li Rizun's prestige in Jiaozhi has also fallen to the lowest point, and the large and small forces in various places are also in the wait-and-see situation, so no one pays attention to the royal order issued by Li Rizun.

Li Rizun also expected this situation, but he still couldn't help but be very angry, thinking that he was the king of Jiaozhi, and now he couldn't even order the local forces to move, which made him also hateful, and planned to wait until he regained the power of the king of Jiaozhi, and then settle accounts with those people little by little.

Li Rizun is a hateful army, the speed of the army is extremely fast, and soon came to the vicinity of Thang Long Mansion, Nong Zongjun has long been prepared, but he also knows that the strength in his hands is greatly damaged, if he fights with Li Rizun, he is likely to lose the battle, so from the beginning he made up his mind to defend it, so he laid many obstacles on the way of Li Rizun's advance, intending to use this to consume Li Rizun's strength.

For Nong Zong's plan, Li Rizun sneered, Shenglong Mansion was originally his capital, for the situation here, he knew better than anyone else, even if Nong Zongqing changed the way of defense, but he could also rely on his familiarity with geography to break through quickly, so it only took him less than ten days to hit the city of Shenglong Mansion from the periphery.

Nong Zongyan was also very surprised that Li Rizun hit the city so quickly, before he thought that the other party would take at least half a month to break through his peripheral defenses, but he didn't expect that it would only take half the time, but he was not in a hurry, because the previous news was originally deliberately released by him, in order to attract Li Rizun to come and attack him, calculate the day, the Great Song side should also take action.

At the same time, the wharf of the deep-water port was very lively, one after another troop transport ships arrived here from Zhancheng, and teams of native troops got off the boats, and then entered the barracks under the command of the Great Song Dynasty generals to standby, Hu Yanping also took people down from one of the ships, and when he saw Zhao Yan on the dock, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Third brother, I didn't expect you to come here too!" ”

Zhao Yan also arrived at the deep-water port from Guangzhou a few days ago, and when he saw Hu Yanping, who he hadn't seen for a few years, he was also very happy to greet him and smiled: "This battle is related to the belonging of Jiaozhi, how can I not come to such a big thing!" ”

Hu Yanping's troops were mobilized by Zhao Yan's order, after all, the climate on the side of Shenglong Mansion is almost the same as that of Zhancheng, the army of the Great Song Dynasty is very disadvantaged to attack this kind of place, the last time Guo Kui led the Western Xia army to attack the Shenglong Mansion, half of the casualties were non-combat attrition, Zhao Yan did not want the Great Song army to consume human lives in the tropical jungle, just the war on the side of Zhancheng has ended, so the native army under Hu Yanping came in handy again.

After the army of the natives of Zhancheng assembled in the deep-water port, they only rested for two days before rushing to Nanding City under the command of Hu Yanping, which has become Li Rizun's big rear, as long as he is defeated here, Li Rizun will become a rootless duckweed, and it is only a matter of time before he is destroyed.
