Chapter 676: Bizarre Civil Strife
Li Rizun took advantage of Li Changjie's attack on the city of Nanding to attack the city, wanting to seize the families of Li Changjie and his generals first, in order to coerce the other party to give up resistance, but he never expected that after they attacked the city of Nanding, they found that the mansions of Li Changjie and his subordinate generals were all empty.
Unable to find the family members of Li Changjie and others, Li Rizun immediately knew that he must have been fooled, and immediately retreated with the army, but when he returned halfway, he received Li Changjie, who was supposed to attack Jiaozhi, suddenly turned around and captured the empty Shenglong Mansion with lightning speed, which made Li Rizun extremely shocked, because his family members were also in Shenglong Mansion, and he had been captured by the Great Song Dynasty once last time, but he didn't expect to be caught by Li Changjie, a thief, this time.
However, Li Rizun is a person who knows how to make trade-offs, after he knew that Li Changjie attacked Thang Long Mansion, he immediately ordered the whole army to stop, and then turned around and returned to Nanding City, because he knew that Li Changjie must have laid an ambush on the side of Thang Long Mansion, and he was waiting for him to drill into it himself, so he would not be fooled, as for his family, it was not the first time he was arrested.
After reading the information about Jiaozhi in his hand, Zhao Yan was shocked and felt a little funny, and only after a while did he say to Xu Yuan: "In this way, there has been a swap between Li Rizun and Li Changjie's sphere of influence, and now Li Changjie has entered the Shenglong Mansion, although he has not spoken of rebellion, but he has actually mastered the political core of Jiaozhi, but Li Rizun has become a prince in Jiaozhi's country?" ”
"The third brother summed it up well, this time the incident is indeed a bit bizarre. Who would have thought that Li Changjie would play such a trick, but this is also to blame Li Rizun for being too eager to get rid of Li Changjie, but Li Changjie took advantage of the loophole. Xu Yuan also shook his head and sighed at this time, but no matter how he looked at him, he looked a little gloating.
"But this is just right, Li Changjie took the Shenglong Mansion, so naturally he will not leave easily. Li Rizun is also full of vitality because of this, and I am afraid that he will only retake the Shenglong Mansion with one heart in the future, so that the battle within Jiaozhi will only become more intense, and there is no need to worry about them expanding outward. Zhao Yan smiled again at this time, the preparations he had made for Zhancheng before seemed to be a little redundant.
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Xu Yuan thought about it for a moment at this time and said, "Third brother, I don't think the arrangement on the Champa side needs to be revoked, since it has already occupied the coastal area of the Champang. Then simply knock down the rest of the places and directly annex the city, so as not to have any news of anyone fighting the city in the future. ”
Zhao Yan also felt that there was some truth when he heard it, and after the expansion of the army, he also had enough strength in his hands, so he finally nodded and said: "Okay, then I will send another letter to Hu Yanping, and ask him to use the organized army to annex the rest of the city." ”
Meanwhile. Outside the palace in the Shenglong Mansion in Jiaozhi, Li Changjie took the guards around the palace. The look on his face was very complicated, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, and then a general beside him suddenly spoke: "Taibao, we have already brought down the Thang Long Mansion, what are you still hesitating about, I think it is better for you to stay in the palace today." Then announce that you will become the king of Jiaozhi, and then ask the Great Song for a canonization decree, and you will officially become the king of Jiaozhi! ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Changjie heard this, but his face sank, and the person who spoke was Nong Zongjiao, whom he valued very much, when he and Nong Zongjia led the army to attack Yongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty. It was about to succeed, but it was defeated by the Great Song reinforcements who arrived, but it was from then on that Nong Zonggang formed a deep friendship with him, before Li Changjie retreated to Nanding City, Nong Zongjian was the first general to follow him.
"Taibao, this time Li Rizun was unkind, and he took advantage of the opportunity of us to attack and occupy the city to copy our hometown, if it weren't for Taibao, if you hadn't prepared in advance, I'm afraid that our people would have been in a different place by now, and we have captured Shenglong Mansion again, it can be said that Li Rizun has completely torn his face, since this is the case, it is better to simply call the king, with Taibao's prestige in the army, why can't you win the world?" Nong Zongjian spoke again at this time and persuaded that he was now ambitious and wanted to follow Li Changjie to do a big career, but now Li Changjie was hesitant to be the king, which made him very anxious.
"Don't say it again, I, Li Changjie, have always regarded myself as a loyal minister of Jiaozhi, and everything I did before was just for self-preservation, and I didn't have the heart of rebellion, even if I lay down the Shenglong Mansion now, I just want to let the king understand my thoughts, so I will never be the king, and the food and clothing in the palace must be guaranteed, and no one is allowed to enter the palace without permission!" Li Changjie was very stubborn at this time, although he was not a foolish person, he definitely did not intend to seize the throne of Jiaozhi, this was the bottom line in his heart, so no matter what Nong Zongjia said, it was useless.
After Li Changjie finished speaking, he ordered his own army to guard the palace, and then returned to his original mansion, when he left the capital with people to Nanding City, Li Rizun was angry and changed his mansion into an elephant house, that is, a place where war elephants train and live, in order to humiliate Li Changjie, but Li Changjie didn't care at all, and after coming back this time, he just moved the war elephant to another place, cleaned it and continued to live.
Seeing Li Changjie so stubborn, Nong Zongjia had to shake his head helplessly, and finally returned to his residence to drink alcohol, he originally had a mansion in Shenglong Mansion, but as the most important general around Li Changjie, his mansion naturally suffered from Li Rizun's poisonous hands, and it was also changed to an elephant house, Nong Zongjia would not be as generous as Li Changjie, so he simply found another mansion next to the palace, which originally belonged to the mansion of one of Li Rizun's uncles, but the other party died in the previous siege battle, So Nong Zonggan unceremoniously occupied this mansion.
The reason why he was willing to follow Li Changjie to leave Shenglong Mansion and go to Nanding City, in addition to the fact that he offended some people in the court and didn't want to stay here anymore, the main reason was that he took a fancy to Li Changjie's talent, in his opinion, Li Rizun was not Li Changjie's opponent at all, and the two clashed in the future, and the final winner would definitely be Li Changjie, so he bet all his net worth on Li Changjie.
In fact, it also proves that he is indeed very discerning, Li Rizun fell into Li Changjie's calculations this time, and even lost the Shenglong Mansion, it can be said that as long as Li Changjie is willing, he can immediately seize the throne of Jiaozhi, and then order all places as the new king, and then organize a large army to destroy Li Rizun in Nanding City, and the entire Jiaozhi will be Li Changjie's, and he can also get the title of a founding hero.
In addition, Nong Zongjian still has the most secret thoughts in his heart, that is, Li Changjie is a eunuch, although he has several children and nephews, but none of them are successful, with Li Changjie's age, he can't sit on the throne for a few years, but he is in the prime of life, maybe after Li Changjie dies, the descendants will not be able to choose someone who can inherit the throne, and then with his relationship with Li Changjie, maybe Li Changjie can give him the throne, which is not impossible.
It's a pity that Li Changjie is not willing to enter the palace now when he is killed, let alone called the king, in this way, Nong Zongji's previous thoughts are all in vain, and even he is worried that if Li Changjie is confused, if he really returns Thang Long Mansion to Li Rizun in the future, maybe Li Changjie doesn't care, anyway, he is old, and he has no heirs, so he is not afraid of Li Rizun's revenge at all, but Nong Zongjun is different, he was born in a big family, and he has been retaliated by Li Rizun before, if Li Rizun is allowed to return to Shenglong Mansion, I'm afraid that their family will be cleaned up because of this, and he will become a sinner in the family.
Thinking of the above, Nong Zongyan felt even more uncomfortable, and unconsciously drank until midnight, at this time he was already half drunk, but he did not have the slightest sleep, and at the moment he left his residence drunk, just next to the palace, Li Rizun's family members were all inside, just because of Li Changjie's order, so that no one dared to break in and harass Li Rizun's family.
If it was put in normal times, Nong Zonggang didn't have the courage to break into the palace, but today he was drunk, and his family was not around, as the so-called wine can mess with sex, the drunk Nong Zonggan actually wanted women very much, especially when he thought that there were countless beauties selected from all over the country in the palace, which made him even more interested, regardless of the guards' obstruction, he broke into the palace, the guards were Li Changjie's personal soldiers, and they all knew that Nong Zonggang was very valued by Li Changjie, so he didn't dare to stop it in the end, and the result was that he broke into the palace. By the time Li Changjie got the news and rushed to the palace, Nong Zongjia had already put Li Rizun's queen and several princesses to bed, and they had a big bed to sleep together.
Seeing Nong Zongjiao, the most valued subordinate of himself, did such a ridiculous thing, Li Changjie was also very angry, and immediately ordered someone to arrest the drunk Nong Zongjiao, and waited until the next day Nong Zongqing woke up, he was also extremely remorseful, and immediately cried to Li Changjie and begged to spare his life, and finally Li Changjie couldn't bear to really kill Nong Zongjiao, so he had to beat him dozens of military sticks, and then blocked the news, lest Li Rizun know about this matter and go crazy, but Li Changjie never thought of it, This incident has buried endless hidden dangers for himself!
