Chapter 1280 Xue Jin's Choice

Xue Jin's sudden move stunned everyone in the tent. Obviously, they didn't expect Xue Jin to do this.

That was a lieutenant who had followed Xue Jin for many years. Xue Jin killed him without hesitation.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you do it?!" Xue Jin shouted at the generals who supported Peng Chuan.

Then, he rushed to another opponent without hesitation.

Xue Jin's roar immediately woke everyone up. The scene in front of them made them attack the other party immediately without thinking too much.

However, in the entire tent, except Xue Jin, no one else had a weapon in their hands. This was in their camp. Xue Jin called them to discuss things, so no one brought weapons with them. They didn't expect that such a thing would happen here.

Xue Jin, holding a big knife, attacked his former subordinates like a killing god. There were screams in the tent. Some people begged for mercy, some resisted, and some wanted to escape. However, Xue Jin ignored them and attacked them all. He did not let go of anyone who had just spoken out against him.

As for those who spoke out in support of Peng Chuan, they also had no weapons in their hands. All they could do was to entangle those who wanted to escape from the tent and not give them a chance to escape. Once someone escaped, it might cause more trouble.

The screams and fighting sounds in the tent attracted the attention of Xue Jin's personal soldiers at the door. Soon someone walked in and was shocked to see the situation in the tent. Obviously, they did not expect this to happen.

"Go out and guard the camp gate. No one is allowed to go out or come in without my permission." Xue Jin ordered the personal soldiers who came in.

"Yes, General!" They were Xue Jin's personal soldiers, so they naturally followed Xue Jin's orders. Even though they didn't know what had happened, since Xue Jin had given the order, they just had to obey it.

The battle in the tent, or rather the massacre, ended quickly. There were no more screams or fighting sounds, only corpses on the ground and the bloody smell in the air.

Xue Jin held up the blood-dripping broadsword and sat back in his seat. His face was still serious, and he casually placed the broadsword on the table in front of him.

"Sit down." Xue Jin looked at the remaining people and said lightly.

Those who survived sat back in their seats tremblingly, but their eyes could not help but glance at the corpses on the ground. Not only that, these people were still alive and kicking, but now they were already beheaded. The surviving generals were even a little dazed and some could not react.

Which of these generals who could sit in their current positions had not been on the battlefield? Which of them had not killed people with their own hands? They had seen many corpses, and even ate next to corpses without changing their expressions.

But at this moment, looking at the corpses in the tent, they were panicked and in a trance.

"I have decided to send troops to support General Peng." Xue Jin said to everyone straight to the point: "General Peng has done me a favor and saved my life! His family was massacred, and I was unable to help. I feel guilty. Now, General Peng has come back for revenge. I must help him, even if I am convicted for it, I will not hesitate!"

Xue Jin's words were extremely firm, and his expression was very serious. It was obvious that he was not joking, nor was it a sudden decision.

Xue Jin looked at everyone and continued, "Qi Feng's handling of General Peng's matter is too disheartening. I am also a general. I am also afraid that one day I will be fighting for the country outside, but my family will be slaughtered in the rear. What's more, he also reuses that bastard Sun Zhongcai. Sun Zhongcai is at most a little clever. He has no ability at all when he really goes to the battlefield. Now he is eliminating dissidents very quickly. If nothing unexpected happens, after we complete the rotation, we will be idle. There is no future for serving under such a person. Therefore, whether it is to repay the favor or for myself, I will go to support General Peng. Of course, this is my decision, and you can choose not to participate."

Not to participate?

The generals at the scene jumped unconsciously when they heard Xue Jin's words. The bodies of those people on the ground were not cold yet. The reason why they became corpses was because they did not want to participate.

"We swear to follow the general to death!" Everyone stood up and said to Xue Jin in unison.

Originally, these people had expressed their support for Peng Chuan before, and now they expressed their support again, which was not forced.

In fact, whether it was Xue Jin or the remaining generals, the reason why they were willing to support Peng Chuan, in addition to the reasons Xue Jin said, there was another very important point: everyone realized that the troubled times had arrived!

Nowadays, it is not only Yanfeng that has rebels, but also all countries, including Heishui, but there are not as many rebels here as Yanfeng.

Before, when Heishui was strong, it naturally did not take those rebels seriously, but after the battle of Shanling Pass, Heishui's strength was greatly damaged, and the pressure faced by the rebels became much smaller.

In addition, Heishui has been paying tribute to Shuiyue for many years and has been constantly launching wars. The emperor and ministers have been increasing their exploitation of the lower-class people, which has long been a source of resentment. Now that the court army has lost so much, it can be foreseen that in the short term, they will definitely have a lot more rebels in Heishui.

Originally, these rebel forces might not have been able to succeed, but at this time, Peng Chuan also chose to revolt, which made a completely different situation.

Peng Chuan's strength is not comparable to those farmers who can only dig crops in the fields.

In troubled times, anyone with some ambition will want to have a future. Xue Jin is obviously not a mediocre person without dreams. On the one hand, he will hand over his military power and become a decoration from then on. On the other hand, he may rise to prominence and completely change his fate. Xue Jin knows what to choose.

Of course, Xue Jin also understands that uprising is still very dangerous. Even if it seems that there is a great possibility of success, it is still very dangerous. However, Xue Jin has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. He is not a timid person. Naturally, he will not be afraid of taking risks. He can have a future for himself and repay Peng Chuan for saving his life and promoting him. Xue Jin is willing to take this risk.

Since he has chosen to take the risk to follow Peng Chuan, those who oppose him are naturally his enemies. He will naturally not be merciful to those people. Once he does something like uprising, there is no turning back. He must eliminate any potential threats.
