Chapter 682: Li Rizun's Death

"General Huyan, please see, Li Rizun's Great Song is trapped in this valley, and now he only needs your order, and the last general will immediately lead the army to capture him!" Nong Zongyan said to Hu Yanping next to him with a flattering face.

A few days ago, Li Rizun gathered the last strength to attack Shenglong Mansion, and wanted to gamble desperately, originally his soldiers had already attacked the city, and was about to attack Shenglong Mansion, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Nong Zongjia actually used the firearms given to him by the Great Song Dynasty, and as a result, he regained his disadvantage in one fell swoop, which also made Li Rizun angry and angry, and even vomited blood and fell, which also made Li Rizun's army collapse without a fight.

Although Nong Zonggang is not very old, he is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and after seeing Li Rizun vomit blood and fall down, he will naturally not let go of this golden opportunity, so he opened the city gate and went out, killing Li Rizun's army for a while, and finally blocking Li Rizun's main force in this valley not far from Thang Long Mansion, and Li Rizun himself is also in the army, but now he does not know whether he is alive or dead.

Hu Yanping smiled and nodded when he heard Nong Zong's words, and then seriously looked at the terrain of the valley in front of him, he only rushed to Shenglong Mansion yesterday, he thought that he could attack Li Rizun from behind, but he didn't expect the other party to lose first, originally with Nong Zong's strength, he could catch Li Rizun before they arrived, but Nong Zong's Yan was very good at being a person, knowing that Hu Yanping and they had come all the way here, if they couldn't get any credit, they would definitely be unhappy in their hearts. Therefore, Nong Zonggan left Li Rizun's main force behind, which was regarded as a gift to Hu Yanping.

Hu Yanping was naturally happy to accept Nong Zongqing's flattery, after all, it was not easy for him to run this way, if he didn't get any credit, he would be nothing. But the soldiers under his command will inevitably have complaints in their hearts, but if they can catch Li Rizun now, then the credit will definitely be indispensable, thinking of this, Hu Yanping also has a good impression of Nong Zongqing, after all, he can give up such a big credit. This is not something that everyone can do.

"This valley is surrounded by steep cliffs on both sides, and the two roads in front and back have been blocked by General Nong's army, and Li Rizun's army is demoralized, it is estimated that it can be taken down with just one charge, let the whole army prepare, and capture Li Rizun tomorrow!" Hu Yanping looked at the terrain of this valley, and immediately smiled and commanded the generals below, although his words were not explicitly stated, but they were also vaguely let the other generals know. The credit for this time was given to them by Nong Zong.

"Whoa!" The generals below also agreed, and then many people looked at Nong Zonggan with a little friendliness, which also made Nong Zonggan smile and nod again and again, and said in his heart that he finally did not give up this great credit in vain this time, as long as he has a good relationship with these people, he will not worry about not being able to gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

However, when Hu Yanping's army rested overnight and was ambitiously preparing to take down the remnants of Li Rizun's army in one fell swoop the next day, he did not expect another accident. The army surrounded in the valley suddenly surrendered to the Great Song and offered Li Rizun's body. It turned out that Li Rizun was angry and vomited blood before, and he fell off the elephant's back again, and as a result, the whole person fell into a coma, and he woke up several times intermittently in the past few days, but he was delirious, until he ran out of breath last night. The remaining generals gathered together for a night of discussion, and finally decided to surrender to the Great Song.

Seeing this, Hu Yanping and his generals also shouted bad luck, because surrendering and being defeated by them are completely two different concepts, and the merits are also very different. If they had known this, they should have launched an attack yesterday, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it now, so they couldn't force Li Rizun's subordinates to fight with them again, right?

"General Nong, if you can destroy Li Rizun this time, you should be the first to take the credit, His Royal Highness King Yue is waiting for our news in the deep-water port, I think you should go to the deep-water port with me, so that His Highness can issue a reward for you in person!" In the palace of Shenglong Mansion City, Hu Yanping said to Nong Zong with a smile, Li Rizun's body has been pulled back and preserved, and his subordinates are also imprisoned, planning to send them to the deep-water port to be handed over to Zhao Yan for disposal, and Nong Zongjun will definitely leave Shenglong Mansion, Zhao Yan must have other arrangements for him.

"The last general has long wanted to visit His Royal Highness King Yue, and this time he was able to destroy Li Rizun, all of which was arranged properly by His Royal Highness King Yue, and the last general just acted according to His Royal Highness's words, where is the credit?" Nong Zonggan immediately said very modestly, before Li Changjie provoked him and asked him to be the king of Jiaozhi here, but unfortunately it did not have an effect, but made Nong Zonggan understand that if he took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, then he would take refuge sincerely, if he had any intention of dividing the land as the king, I am afraid that he would only end up with the same fate as Li Rizun.

"Haha, General Nong is too modest, with your talents, you will definitely be able to be reused by His Royal Highness in the future, it can be said that the future is great, in the future, we will be ministers of the same palace, and General Nong should not forget to help each other!" Hu Yanping also laughed when he heard Nong Zongji's words.

"General Huyan is polite, with your identity, the last general will ask the general to take care of him in the future!" Nong Zonggan heard this, but he was a little frightened, he had secretly inquired, and knew that the general Huyan in front of him was not only the best friend of His Royal Highness King Yue, but also one of the famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty, it is said that several cousins of the other party are in the army, and some of them have even higher positions than Hu Yanping, so for a figure like Hu Yanping, Nong Zongjian does not dare to have any contempt.

Hu Yanping laughed again when he heard Nong Zongji's words, and then said a few more polite words, then remembered one thing, and immediately said: "By the way, I heard that Li Changjie is also imprisoned in the city, His Royal Highness King Yue has always been very concerned about this person, and he will be escorted to the deep-water port at that time!" ”

"That's right!" Nong Zongyan immediately agreed, he has always been very embarrassed about how to deal with Li Changjie, if he kills the other party, he really can't be ruthless, but if he doesn't kill, the fact that Li Changjie is alive is a major destabilizing factor in itself, so it is better to hand it over to Da Song to deal with.

At the same time, Li Changjie in the cell was still sitting there reading a book peacefully, and Nong Zongqing blocked the news from the outside world to him, so he didn't know that Li Rizun had died of injuries, let alone that Hu Yanping and the Song army had entered the city, but he also noticed some situations, such as the shouting and killing on the other side of the city wall in the past few days, and Nong Zongqing never came to visit him again, which shows that the war in the outside world has come to an end temporarily, and Nong Zongjun is still very busy. From this, it can be deduced that Li Rizun's side is likely to be at a disadvantage, and it is even likely that he has been repelled by Nong Zonggan.

Thinking that Li Rizun may have been defeated and retreated, Li Changjie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had also deduced several results of this war before, the best of which was that Li Rizun was able to defeat the city of Shenglong Mansion before the arrival of the Song army, and then rely on the strong city to resist the Song army, but the possibility of this result is extremely small, even if he personally leads the troops, it is difficult to take down the Shenglong Mansion in a short time, not to mention that Li Rizun has an impatient personality, and he wants to catch Nong Zong's shame, which is a taboo for the soldiers.

Now what Li Changjie hopes most is that after Li Rizun is repelled by Nong Zonggan, he can sober up and retreat immediately, as long as he is not completely eliminated by the Song Army and Nong Zonggan, then there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future, which is also the last chance for Jiaozhi.

Just when Li Changjie was thinking nonsense, it was not early outside, and the cell boss brought him food as usual, speaking of which, although this cell head was arranged by Nong Zongjiao, he admired Li Changjie very much, so he usually served him wholeheartedly, no matter what Li Changjie wanted, as long as it was within his purview, he would find a way to do it for Li Changjie.

Today, the cell boss prepared a sumptuous wine and food for Li Changjie, these are Li Changjie's favorite foods, the cell boss put down the wine and food and saluted him, and then was about to go out, but at this time Li Changjie suddenly said: "Cell boss, how is the king outside the city now?" ”

Hearing Li Changjie ask about Li Rizun, the cell boss couldn't help but tremble, because Nong Zongjia had ordered before that he must not tell Li Changjie about this matter, so he hesitated for a moment before he forced a smile and said: "Qiqi Taibao, the villain only stays in prison on weekdays, and he doesn't know much about the outside world, so I don't know much about things outside the city." ”

Seeing the performance of the cell boss, Li Changjie couldn't help but sink in his heart, but on the surface, he was still silent, and asked again: "So what is Nong Zonggang busy with now, why didn't he come to visit the old man for a few days?" ”

When the cell leader heard that Li Changjie did not entangle Li Rizun about it, but asked about Nong Zongjiao, he was also relieved in his heart at the moment: "General Nong is receiving the generals from the Great Song Dynasty these days, and one of them, General Huyan, has an extraordinary identity, and General Nong has been with him almost every day these days. ”

"Okay, I see, you stand down!" Li Changjie commanded calmly, but there was a bit of sadness in the depths of his eyes, the Song army had entered the city, which showed that Li Rizun's previous attack must have failed, and what was worse was that Nong Changjie and the Song army were both in the city and did not pursue, so there were only two results, that is, the king either fell into their hands or had died in battle, no matter which of these two results, it means that Jiaozhi no longer has any hope.

Thinking of the above, Li Changjie couldn't help but feel discouraged, and his eyes also lost their former brilliance, he sat there stunned for a long time, and finally poured himself a glass of wine very calmly, and then drank it in a big gulp, with a determined look in his eyes again, as if he had made a decision?
