The soldiers guarding the city of Yuyang all interceded for Zhang Liao with sincerity.

Obviously, they all knew that Zhang Liao was guilty, but they did not want Zhang Liao to be punished.

Seeing this, Ye Chen sighed secretly, then raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.

When the Yuyang city guards calmed down, Ye Chen looked at Zhang Liao, who was waiting for his resignation, and said:

"You have done well. Facing hundreds of times more enemies, you still persevered and stood firm. Before you fall into the name of Youzhou Iron Blood, whoever dares to say that you are guilty, I will not forgive him!"

As soon as Ye Chen's words fell to the ground, Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Ye Chen.

He never expected that Ye Chen not only had no intention of blaming him, but actually thought that what he did was right, and his words were full of praise.

You know, he is just a commoner who secretly stole the official position of the general who defended the city. Even if the purpose is to resist the golden scarf, it is a robbery. This is a fact.

Official positions are never self-appointed. Once they appear, it means having no authority over the emperor and is tantamount to rebellion.

But Ye Chen's meaning couldn't be more obvious. Zhang Liao was not guilty and did the right thing.

When the soldiers guarding the city of Yuyang heard this, they were all excited.

Ye Chen doesn't think Zhang Liao is guilty, so Zhang Liao's iron nail is fine.

Because Ye Chen has the power to appoint and remove officials in Youzhou.

Glancing at the surprised Zhang Liao, Ye Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "Wen Yuan, you have the talent to lead an army and have the heart to join the army. Let me ask you, are you willing to follow me?"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he was immediately ecstatic. Without thinking, he directly took back his hands behind his back, cupped his fists and said:

"The general is willing to follow the lord, and please take him under his wing!"

"Ding, congratulations to the player Ye Chen for gaining the allegiance of the first-class historical generals, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan."

Hearing the system prompt, Ye Chen laughed, then quickly stepped forward, helped Zhang Liao up, and then said:

"Zhang Liao, from now on, you will be the sixth general in charge of our army in Samsara City, commanding one hundred thousand troops. Do you have confidence?"

"Lord..." Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this, and then screamed.

Zhang Liao could hear the importance in Ye Chen's words.

But Zhang Liao didn't expect that Ye Chen would value him so much and asked him to command an army of one hundred thousand.

Originally, Zhang Liao thought that Ye Chen would give him a side general or a supporting general.

After all, he had just followed and had no merit, so how could he be the commander of the army?

He had never thought about this.

Who could have imagined that what Ye Chen gave him was not a partial general or a supporting general at all, but the commander-in-chief of a hundred thousand soldiers!

If this were placed elsewhere, it would be impossible, but here, Ye Chen, it really happened.

Only with 100% trust and 100% respect can such a situation occur. Zhang Liao is not stupid, how could he not understand this truth.

It was precisely because of understanding that Zhang Liao was so shocked. Of course, he was even more moved.

"Don't underestimate yourself, not to mention that only with talent can you secure your position. Do you think you don't have this talent?" Ye Chen laughed, then patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he tried his best to steady his rapidly beating heart, then knelt down on one knee with a bang and worshiped loudly:

"Liao, have confidence! Liao swears an oath to heaven here to follow his lord to the death and never betray him. If he violates this oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"

"Ding, Zhang Liao's loyalty +10."

"Ding, Zhang Liao's loyalty has reached 100 and he has been upgraded to die loyal."

Hearing the system prompt, Ye Chen laughed, then helped the excited Zhang Liao up, and said solemnly:

"Wen Yuan, from today on, you will officially become the sixth general in command of our army in Samsara City. The recruitment of soldiers will also be left to you. Remember, soldiers with qualifications of at least C level will not be admitted."

"Yes! Lord!" Zhang Liao was slightly startled when he heard this. After recovering, he hurriedly bowed and responded.

But Zhang Liao didn't expect Ye Chen to have such high demands on soldiers.

As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, most of the soldiers guarding the city in Yuyang County suddenly turned pale.

After Ye Chen noticed something strange among the soldiers guarding Yuyang City, he couldn't help but look over.

The next second, Ye Chen realized why those soldiers suddenly changed from excited to depressed.

After looking at the soldiers, Ye Chen smiled slightly and then said:

"You are not afraid of death and are willing to use your lives to resist hundreds of times the golden scarf army. This is enough to prove that you have a will of steel and are well-deserved elite soldiers! Therefore, you will also be included among the 100,000 soldiers commanded by Wen Yuan !”

When Ye Chen just said this, the ashen-faced soldiers were all stunned, and then all of them showed excited expressions again.

Looking at the soldier who was excited again, Ye Chen smiled slightly, then looked at Zhang Liao and said:

"Wenyuan, in this battle in Yuyang, the number of casualties among Yuyang soldiers was huge. Each injured person will be given a 1 gold subsidy, and those who died in the battle will be given a 10 gold pension. The whole family, old and young, will be taken care of by Samsara City."

Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this.

But I didn't expect Ye Chen to be so kind to the soldiers.

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Liao's expression suddenly became solemn, then he bowed and responded loudly: "Yes! Lord!"

Ye Chen nodded, his eyes immediately turned cold, and then he asked, "Does Wen Yuan know all those officials who escaped?"

"My lord, the general is not familiar with those officials, but not long after they abandoned the city, they were blocked by the golden scarf army, and no one was spared." Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said.

"It's an advantage for them." Ye Chen frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice. After saying that, with a move of his right hand, ten boxes of gold coins appeared on the spot.

Pointing to the ten boxes of gold coins on the ground, Ye Chen continued: "If the Yuyang treasury does not have enough money, use these as an emergency."

"Lord, you don't need so many, half a box can't be used." Zhang Liao hurriedly bowed and said after seeing the ten boxes of gold coins on the ground.

"These are not just for distributing pensions." Ye Chen smiled slightly and then said. After speaking, he waved to Guo Yi.

When Guo Yi saw this, he immediately walked over here.

Zhang Liao hurriedly stepped forward to meet Guo Yi, then cupped his fists in greeting and said:

"Yanmen, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Wenyuan have seen Guo Jijiu."

"Yingchuan, Guo Yi, Guo Fengxiao, I have met Brother Wenyuan." Guo Yi replied with a smile.

Zhang Liao returned the salute again, and then looked at Zhao Yunzheng and others, seeing the salute one by one, and everyone returned the salute one by one.

Guo Yi waited for Zhang Liao to see the gift, then took out a notice from his arms, handed it to Zhang Liao, and then said: "The gold coins given by the lord, apart from soldiers, are for this notice."

After Zhang Liao took the notice, he opened it and read it.

As soon as the time for a cup of tea passed, Zhang Liao opened his eyes suddenly, then looked at Ye Chen, bowed and said:

"The general will do his best to fulfill the lord's orders! There will never be anyone in Yuyang who disobeys the lord!"
