Chapter 120 The throne beckons

Weizhou City suddenly fell into chaos, which Li Jing obviously did not expect.

And all of this is naturally the handiwork of Hou Junji.

"Do you really think you're going to wait for me? I've been asking Zhijie to keep an eye on what's going on in the city these past few days. I didn't expect you to actually betray me, which is exactly what I wanted."

Hou Junji sneered, then pulled out the horizontal sword from his waist and shouted: "Come with me and kill all the generals! Capture Li Jing alive!"

"drink!"

The generals cheered up one after another, and were encouraged by Hou Junji to take out their weapons.

Seeing this scene, Li Jing weighed it for a moment and thought that Cheng Yaojin and other mutinous barracks were coming towards this place, so he ordered: "Retreat!"

Hou Junji and other generals, together with their personal guards, totaled more than a hundred people, and they were all battle-hardened veterans, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

They had only a thousand soldiers encircling the camp this time, and it would be difficult to take down all Hou Junji and others at once. If they were delayed until Cheng Yaojin led his troops and fell into the siege, it would be troublesome.

The top priority should be to gather the other soldiers under his command and join up with the White Robes to jointly suppress the mutiny.

After seeing Li Jing retreating, the generals on Hou Junji's side suddenly became anxious and wanted to lead people to contain the pursuit.

"what are you doing!"

Hou Junji grabbed the general and shouted angrily.

The general said unwillingly: "General Hou, we can't let Li Jing leave like this. As long as we wait until General Cheng brings his troops, won't we be able to catch him?"

Hou Junji couldn't help but cursed after hearing this: "Idiot! Li Jing has already voted for Li Chengdao, do you think the White Robe Army will not take action tonight? Li Jing controls most of the troops, plus the White Robe Army, we will continue to stay here Just waiting to die!”

"Retreat immediately, go to the south gate to meet General Cheng, and lead the troops to fight out of Weizhou City!"

Hou Junji's words finally made all these generals wake up, and then they evacuated towards the south city gate.

……

After Li Chengdao led his troops into the city, he quickly allowed the White Robes to take control of key areas in the city, and asked Li Jing's generals to restrain their soldiers from acting rashly to avoid unnecessary chaos.

After Hou Junji rendezvoused with Cheng Yaojin, he did not plan to fight with the white robe army and regain control of Weizhou City. Instead, he directly fled from the south gate with his soldiers.

But what Hou Junji didn't know was that not far away, Li Jing was watching helplessly as they led their troops out of the city.

"Commander, are you going to let them go like this?"

A general couldn't help but ask.

Li Jing shook his head and said: "I betrayed the King of Qin and joined my grandson. Although it was for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, it was ultimately an unjust act."

"General Hou and General Cheng are different from me. If I forcibly intercept them, they will die in battle instead of surrendering."

"Let them go this time, just think of me as a woman. Next time we meet on the battlefield, I won't show mercy."

After all, Li Jing was still a little ashamed of his betrayal of Li Shimin, so he could not be cruel enough to forcibly intercept Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin.

In fact, he has not stepped up surveillance of generals such as Hou Junji in the past few days. Otherwise, if Lei Ting takes action, they will have no room to resist.

He only deliberately let things go and gave Hou Junji and others a chance to leave. Hou Junji also knew it very well, so he had no intention of fighting, lest Li Jing become ruthless and deal with them.After watching Hou Junji and others lead their troops out of the city, Li Jing withdrew his gaze and began to lead his troops to suppress the chaos in the city.

By dawn, the riots in Weizhou City finally calmed down.

However, at this time, all the soldiers stationed on the Weizhou city wall had been replaced by white-robed sergeants, and the flying flags had also been replaced by Li Chengdao's commander's flag.

It is simply incredible that Weizhou City was captured so effortlessly!

Weizhou City, inside the handsome tent.

Li Chengdao met Li Jing, who was presiding over various rectifications in the city. When the latter saw Li Chengdao, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Li Jing, meet His Highness the Grand Sun."

Li Jing walked out of the table and knelt down in front of Li Chengdao.

"General Li, please get up quickly."

Li Chengdao naturally did not put on any airs. He stretched out his hand to help Li Jing up from the ground, and then said with a smile: "I have heard about General Li Jing for a long time. If the general had not surrendered on his own initiative this time, it would be difficult for him to capture Weizhou City."

"Your Highness is serious. Your Highness's white-robed army is so majestic and powerful that it is rarely seen in the world. Even the last general cannot resist it."

Li Jing said sincerely that he knew in his heart that if Li Chengdao personally participated in the war and captured Weizhou City at all costs, it would be really difficult for him to stop him.

In order to avoid heavy casualties on both sides, he decided to surrender.

After a brief chat, Li Chengdao began to ask about the situation in the city: "General Li, there was a mutiny in the army last night. Was it caused by Hou Junji and others?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Jing nodded, and then said: "The eldest son of King Qin, Sun Wuji, was suspicious of Li before he came, so Hou Junji was secretly wary of Li."

"Last night when Li launched a mutiny, he also incited the soldiers in the army to mutiny and created chaos. At the same time, he ordered Cheng Yaojin to seize the south city gate. The general was unable to resist and asked him to lead [-] troops from the south. The city gate escaped.”

When talking about this matter, Li Jing looked ashamed.

Li Chengdao consoled him: "General, you don't have to blame yourself. Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin are very good people. It's normal for them to lead troops to kill them. Now that they can take Weizhou City, General Li and his more than [-] troops, they are already a big force." Happy event."

He was not greedy enough to keep all the 20 troops. After all, this was not Li Jing's army alone. It would be a surprise to have more than [-] troops join him.

However, regarding the escape of Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin, Li Chengdao vaguely guessed that Li Jing intended to let things go, but he did not take the matter seriously and simply regarded it as ignorance.

"By the way, Your Highness, the remaining [-] soldiers who mutinied have suffered hundreds of casualties. The rest have been suppressed and are waiting for Your Highness to deal with them."

Li Jing said again.

"Well, take Gu Gu to have a look."

Li Chengdao nodded and followed Li Jing out of the camp.

At this moment, the throne seems to be beckoning to Li Chengdao again!
