The best ring

Xue Jin's order was quickly conveyed. Not long after, all the generals above the level of lieutenant in this garrison arrived in his tent.

At this time, Xue Jin was sitting in a daze. When his generals came in, he still did not move.

"General?"

After everyone arrived, someone could not help but call Xue Jin.

Xue Jin raised his head and looked at everyone: "Are you all here? Sit down."

"General, you are so anxious to call us here. Is there something important?"

"I heard that General Sun wants us to transfer our defense. General, are you worried about this?"

"Is he finally going to take action against us?"

"It seems that he is going to eliminate all the people left by General Peng."

After everyone sat down, they spoke one after another.

They had actually heard about the transfer of defense. After all, Sun Zhongcai had been doing this since he took office. They did not move before because it was not their turn yet. Now it is finally their turn.

As for the redeployment, they were all unhappy about it, just like Xue Jin. They also knew the interests involved. Even if Sun Zhongcai only targeted Xue Jin and not them, they, as generals promoted by Xue Jin, would not have an easy life after the new commander came.

"Sun Zhongcai did issue a redeployment order to us," Xue Jin said. He called Sun Zhongcai by his name, which made some generals at the scene feel suspicious. Xue Jin pretended not to see it and continued, "But I called you here not because of this, but because of this."

Xue Jin raised the note in his hand and gestured to everyone.

"What is this?"

"A secret letter." Xue Jin said, "A secret letter from General Peng!"

"What? General Peng?!"

"Didn't General Peng surrender to Nanping? He wrote to you, general, is he trying to persuade you to surrender to Nanping as well?"

"General Peng's surrender to Nanping has not been finalized yet, General Zhao, don't talk nonsense."

"But hasn't your majesty already issued an edict and made a final decision?"

"That may not be the truth."

"You actually doubt your majesty?"

Xue Jin's words aroused discussions among the generals. Judging from the content of his speech, everyone had different understandings of Peng Chuan's affairs.

This is normal. Although they all knew about Peng Chuan's existence and even fought under his command, not everyone believed in Peng Chuan, especially after Qi Feng issued the imperial edict.

Xue Jin did not rush to speak, but watched quietly until everyone had almost finished speaking, and then he said, "This letter was indeed written to me by General Peng, and the content of the letter is very simple: he wants to revolt and hopes that I can support him!"

What? !

Xue Jin's words were like a bomb that exploded among the crowd. Everyone was stunned. Obviously, this situation was something they had not thought of before.

"General, you must not do that! Rebellion is a serious crime that will lead to the extermination of the family! Peng Chuan is already a lonely man. He can ignore it, but we cannot ignore it."

"That's right, General. You can't listen to the traitor Peng Chuan. He has surrendered to Nanping State and now wants to rebel. He just wants to disrupt our Black Water State. We can't follow him into this muddy water!"

"Not only can we not wade into the muddy water, we should also report this matter to His Majesty immediately. This must be a great achievement!"

After reacting, many people objected.

"What about you? Do you have the same idea as them?" Xue Jin did not draw a conclusion, but looked at the remaining generals who did not speak.

After those people hesitated for a while, someone said: "General, I think we should respond to General Peng's call and send troops to support his rebellion!"

"What are you talking about? You want to die!"

"You..."

"Shut up!" After hearing the words of this general, those who opposed to following Peng Chuan in the rebellion changed their faces and wanted to scold him, but they were stopped by Xue Jin.

"Keep talking!" Everyone in the tent didn't dare to say anything, and Xue Jin looked at the general Peng Chuan who had just made the suggestion and said.

"General, you know General Peng's reputation in the army. Since he has decided to revolt and has written to you for support, he will certainly write to other direct generals to ask them to revolt together. With General Peng's prestige, there will definitely be people who support him. I estimate that there will be many people who support him. As for General Peng's ability, let alone, he is absolutely the best in the entire army. Other generals in the army are not as capable as him. In addition, we lost a lot of troops in the last battle of Shanling Pass. Now the domestic troops are empty, and we have to guard against the counterattack of Nanping State. Therefore, there will not be too many troops that can suppress General Peng. We have the ability to... With the support of the army and the weakness of the court, under such circumstances, General Peng's uprising is very likely to succeed! "

After a pause, the general continued: "To be honest, I think your majesty was too hasty in dealing with General Peng's affairs last time. We are all soldiers and should know that there is no general who always wins in the army. Anyone can lose a battle. If you lose a battle, your whole family will be executed. Who would be willing to fight for your life? I'm afraid everyone is thinking about retreating. Therefore, your majesty's decision last time still had a bad impact on many people. General Peng's uprising is likely to gain more support because of this."

"Bold! How can you criticize Your Majesty? He Pengchuan killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so he deserves to be executed by everyone!" The general who had previously opposed following Pengchuan's uprising angrily yelled.

"There were not that many soldiers killed in battle. Most of the soldiers were just detained at Shanling Pass."

"Then Pengchuan suffered a huge defeat and should bear the responsibility."

"If you take responsibility, your family will be confiscated and your family will be exterminated? If so, will you still dare to fight on the battlefield in the future?"

...

Discussions resounded in the camp again, and this time the atmosphere was even more heated. Many people who had been silent before began to speak out in support of Peng Chuan. The crowd was divided into two groups, and they were noisy.

Xue Jin remained silent, seeming to be thinking about how to decide.

After a long while, Xue Jin looked at everyone and said, "Now let's express our stance. Who supports and who opposes."

"I object!"

"And me."

"I object too"

"I support supporting General Peng!"

"I support it too!"

...

Many generals made their own decisions after consideration. About one-third of the people in the entire camp opposed it, and the remaining two-thirds agreed.

"Very good." Xue Jin stood up and looked at those who objected with cold eyes.

The generals who objected realized that the situation was not good, and when they were about to say something, Xue Jin pulled out the sword beside him and struck one of them without hesitation.

Phew!

The broadsword easily split open the man's body. The man slowly fell backwards with a shocked expression on his face, and hit the ground heavily with a "pop".
