"Kill~, capture the people of Nong Zongqian alive, reward thousands of dollars, and wait for it!" Li Rizun roared frantically while inspecting the battlefield, and his words were also conveyed to the entire battlefield as quickly as possible, but the soldiers under his command all seemed to be crazy when they heard it, stepping on the cloud ladder and braving the rain of arrows to climb desperately upward, hoping to climb to the top of the city and capture Nong Zonggan alive.

Nong Zonggan stood on the head of the city of Shenglong Mansion, leaning down to look at the soldiers besieging the city below, but his face showed a disdainful sneer, with his order, the stones and logs on the city head fell like raindrops, and even boiling hot water poured down, as a result, for a time the soldiers besieging the city were screaming again and again, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

Speaking of which, the Shenglong Mansion was once broken by Guo Kui and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and the city walls were also demolished a lot, but later Li Rizun spent great strength to rebuild the city wall of the Shenglong Mansion in exchange for the condition of land reparation, making the city wall of the city extremely tall and strong, and even Li Rizun thought that even if the Great Song army came again, it might not be easy to take it, but he never expected that the city wall he spent so much effort to build now blocked him out.

Watching the soldiers who besieged the city screaming and falling to their deaths one by one, thinking that his wife and daughter fell into the hands of Nong Zong, this made Li Rizun feel like a knife, and once again regardless of the casualties, the army attacked strongly, even if he paid a big price, he had to capture Thang Long Mansion as soon as possible, and then capture Nong Zonggan alive, so that he could cut the other party with a knife.

"Your Majesty, we can't fight like this anymore, otherwise the Shenglong Mansion has not been breached, and more than half of our soldiers have already been killed or wounded, and then there is no need for Nong Zong to beat us, and the soldiers in our hands will be in chaos first!" At this time, a loyal general pleaded with Li Rizun, after all, soldiers are also human beings. No matter how heavy the reward is, no one will be willing to die in vain, so if the casualties are too great, I am afraid that the soldiers of the army will no longer obey the command.

Although Li Rizun was extremely angry, he did not push his senses, and he looked up at the city wall that was still as strong as ever. Looking at the soldiers who suffered many casualties under the city wall, in the end they could only beat the sitting elephant fiercely, and ordered to temporarily withdraw their troops today and wait until tomorrow to attack!

Nong Zonggan at the head of the city saw Li Rizun retreating, but he once again showed a disdainful expression, after he purged the army in Li Changjie's hands, although the strength was greatly damaged, but there were at least 30,000 soldiers who could fight, with the advantage of the strong city wall of Thang Long Mansion. He didn't take Li Rizun's 50,000 army in his eyes at all, not to mention that he still had a trump card hidden in his hand, if it was a critical moment, he could completely rely on this trump card to reverse the disadvantage.

Li Rizun retired from the army, and it was not early, Nong Zongjun inspected the city wall again, and then returned to the city, he has now moved to the palace to live. Li Rizun's queen and concubines all became his confiners, and of course he did not forget the generals who rebelled with him. He also rewarded some of the beauties in the palace, so that he could better tie them to the same boat as himself.

However, after coming down from the city wall, Nong Zonggan did not immediately go to the palace, but went to a fortified prison not far from the palace, which was originally a place where the Cochin Kingdom held serious criminals, and it was extremely well guarded, and it is said that no prisoner ever escaped from it. And as long as you enter this prison, it is almost impossible to get out alive, and the people of Thang Long Mansion dare not say much when they talk about this prison, and no one dares to approach this place in normal times. This shows how terrible this prison is.

Before Nong Zongjie came to this prison, he specially asked people to prepare some wine and food, because Li Changjie was imprisoned here, during this time, Nong Zongjie would come to visit the old boss whenever he was free, although he betrayed Li Changjie, but the two still had some friendship over the years, so after Nong Zongjie detained Li Changjie here, not only did not torture him, but also told the guards to take care of him, and he also visited from time to time, for fear that Li Changjie would have any accidents.

Li Changjie was detained in a separate cell, which was extremely clean, and there were mattresses and tea supplies, and even Nong Zongjie sent him a lot of books, so Li Changjie was not so much imprisoned as recuperating here, and Li Changjie was also very calm, reading books and sleeping every day, and he didn't seem to worry about being imprisoned at all.

Nong Zonggang personally came to Li Changjie's cell with wine and food, only to see that the other party was sitting on a chair reading a book, Nong Zonggang did not immediately come forward to disturb, but stood quietly outside the door, and waited until Li Changjie put down the book, then he asked people to open the prison door and walk in, and then put the wine and food on the table and said with a smile: "Taibao's complexion looks good today, the last general has prepared some wine and food, why don't we talk while eating?" ”

Li Changjie didn't say anything special when he saw Nong Zonggan coming in, but just glanced at him lightly and said: "Today, I heard the sound of killing outside the city, but unfortunately there is no chaos in the city, it seems that the king's attack failed again today, does the old man want to congratulate General Nong?" ”

"Haha, Li Rizun only wants to rely on 50,000 people to break through the Shenglong Mansion, it's just too much to measure, and he lost his calm, just urging the soldiers to attack the city, but he doesn't care about casualties at all, just today there are three or four thousand people killed in the city, with the eyes of Taibao, it should be seen that Li Rizun has no chance of winning at all!" Nong Zonggan said with a smile at this time.

"Alas, the king is indeed too impulsive, if I were him, I would never send troops so rashly!" Li Changjie also sighed when he heard this, no one knows Li Rizun better than him, but because of this, Li Changjie has no confidence in Li Rizun in his heart.

When he said this, he saw Li Changjie look up at Nong Zongyan again and said: "General Nong, you have been holding out, you must have agreed with the Great Song Dynasty, you are responsible for attracting the king's troops here, but the Great Song Dynasty sent troops from the deep-water port to attack Nanding City, so that the king's rear was captured, and the grain, grass and weapons could not be supplied, and then the people's hearts would definitely be discouraged, and even you didn't need to send troops at all, and the king's army would collapse without a fight, right?" ”

"Taibao is really wise, and even sees through our next plan!" When Nong Zongqing heard this, he laughed again and said, "But since the Taibao has seen through this, it must be able to see that Li Rizun has no chance at all, and when the Great Song army arrives, Jiaozhi will never turn over again, I advise the Taibao to be wiser and descend the Great Song Dynasty with me." ”

Li Changjie saw that Nong Zongjia actually persuaded him to return to the Great Song Dynasty, but he glanced at him with a flat gaze, and then said: "Zongjia, your Nong family is also a generation of nobles in Jiaozhi, and you have also made a lot of contributions to Jiaozhi, but now you have personally given Jiaozhi's hard-won foundation to the Great Song Dynasty, don't you feel pity?" ”

"What's the pity, Li Rizun is arrogant, as early as a few years ago, he took the initiative to provoke the Great Song Dynasty, and as a result, Taibao and I were defeated by the Great Song army several times, and almost lost our lives, but what did we get in exchange for in the end? Taibao, you are suspected by Li Rizun, and we are also criticized by others, but these are obviously caused by Li Rizun himself, why should we carry the black pot for him? The more Nong Zongji spoke, the more angry he became, since he and Li Changjie were defeated by the hands of the Great Song Dynasty army, Jiaozhi and the two of them were also talking about it, and some people even said that they were all to blame for their unfavorable war, so that Jiaozhi had to cede land and pay compensation, which is also one of the places where Nong Zongjie was most dissatisfied with Li Rizun.

"As a minister, it is natural to share the worries of the king, there was indeed something wrong with the king at the beginning, but as a courtier, we also have to bear a certain responsibility, so some people accuse us of not being wrong!" Li Changjie said calmly, he didn't feel any grievances for Li Rizun, and even thought that it was the responsibility of his courtiers.

"Hmph, this is the biggest difference between me and the Taibao, Taibao, you think that no matter how ridiculous Li Rizun is, he is the king of Jiaozhi, and we as courtiers must follow him and deal with the aftermath for him, but I don't think so, Li Rizun has done something wrong as the king of Jiaozhi, then he has to be responsible for his own wrongdoing, if he is no longer suitable to be a king, then why should I be loyal to such a person?" Nong Zonggan asked Li Changjie loudly, his character determined that he would not be loyal to anyone, in fact, in the original history, Nong Zonggan also betrayed Jiaozhi and defected to the Great Song Dynasty, and also led the Song army to attack Jiaozhi.

Li Changjie quietly listened to Nong Zongjian finish what he thought in his heart, and finally sighed again and said: "Zongqing, I only thought that your personality was a little impatient and easy to offend people, but I didn't expect that in addition to being impatient, you didn't have the slightest fear of the king. ”

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, I don't dare to be a hero in troubled times, but I don't want to be subject to Li Rizun's idiot all the time, so I just voted for the Ming Lord, with the wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and His Royal Highness the King of Yue, I will definitely not be wronged like Li Rizun!" Nong Zonggan laughed and said, and after speaking, there was a hint of smugness on his face, as if he was very optimistic about his decision to join the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing Nong Zong's proud appearance, Li Changjie's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of imperceptible light, and then he deliberately sighed and said: "Zongjiao, with the intervention of the Great Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi is also about to start a big chaos, with your talent, you could have become a tyrant on the dominant side, but if you take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, you are just a low-status general, are you really willing?"
