Chen Ze walked to He Leng's side and faced the gazes of more than 5,000 people below with a calm expression.

"This is the token."

Instead of hiding it, Chen Ze stepped forward and directly showed the token in front of everyone.

And this didn't shock the soldiers too much.

Yes, the token is a token, but the soldiers underneath are still at the lowest level. Most of the people present watched Ouyang Lixing take it out from a distance when the troops were ordered in the school grounds.

As for the authenticity of this token, they are not like He Leng waiting for the generals, they can tell the authenticity at a glance.

Hesitation is inevitable.

Chen Ze looked at the crowd of heads in the audience and was not in a hurry. He just smiled and said, "Have any of you seen General Ouyang's token up close?"

"If so, you can come up and take a look and verify whether this token is true or false?"

It must be said that Chen Ze's calmness still won the favor of the soldiers.

In particular, He Leng's two companions also tried their best to explain. They also emphasized that it was because of Mr. Chen that Huang Liang and other bandits were willing to dismantle the barbed wire fence and let everyone go free, and the food was also Chen's.

Ze Mingren made a new one and brought it.

As he said this, thousands of people in the audience fell silent, but no one actually came up to the stage to check the authenticity of Chen Ze's token.

This is partly due to the contributions of He Leng and the others.

Even if you don't trust them anymore, after all, the three of them are still the generals leading them, and there will never be any problem with their vision.

They said the token was real, so I guess...

Moreover, it seems that there is no need to lie to them?

If Chen Ze hadn't come here, they would probably have been tortured to death by Huang Liang.

And even now, what value do they have?

Chen Ze came with the token, which represents General Ouyang. If it is later discovered that Chen Ze is not working for Fengqi Province, then he will not listen to him.

It seems like nothing matters?

The soldiers below formed more than a dozen small circles and kept whispering. From time to time, they glanced at Chen Ze on the stage.

Chen Ze was not in a hurry and allowed the soldiers to perform freely.

Although these people had been tortured by Huang Liang for half a month, and their fighting strength was greatly reduced, Chen Ze thought about it, and he still couldn't give up on these more than 5,000 people.

Although the combat strength of these five thousand men has been greatly reduced, they are regular Zhu Yan Empire soldiers after all. They have undergone strict training and are still much easier to use than the bandit troops in Huangliang.

At least, some of the instructions given by Chen Ze were understood by these soldiers, but the bandits would have been confused.

It's not that Chen Ze looks down on bandits, but the facts are right in front of him.

Tang Tianxing sneaked into Dongping City, and later Gu Qingfeng and others also sneaked into Dongping City. It was easy and there was no pressure at all.

This is the consequence of Huang Liang letting those bandits defend the city.

I'm afraid that such soldiers can only be used to make up the number of people and fight against the wind. If there are really signs that something is wrong, they will probably disperse early in the morning.

Therefore, although these five thousand soldiers are insufficient in combat strength, there is still no problem in using them as the backbone.

The only problem is that Chen Ze estimates that he will need to stay for another day or two, and he cannot follow the original plan and set off with the army at noon tomorrow.

He must give these soldiers time to regain their fighting strength.

In this case, it is also necessary to establish a certain amount of trust with these soldiers from now on.

Although Chen Ze will not help Ouyang Lixing carry out a large-scale military training plan in Fengqi Province, some necessary arrangements are still needed.

Since everything has to wait, there is no need to rush.

So since we have to wait, we might as well wait a little longer and let the soldiers discuss it themselves.

In fact, what is there to discuss?

If you don't want to live the kind of life you had before, following Chen Zeben is your only choice.

Of course they would not know that Huang Liang had surrendered to Chen Ze at this time. Even if they did not agree to follow Chen Ze, Chen Ze and Huang Liang would withdraw from Dongping City at noon tomorrow.

By then, they captives will naturally be safe.

They didn't know, and Chen Ze wouldn't tell them, so he just let them guess on their own. The final judgment they would make was actually already determined.

Sure enough, when most of the soldiers in each circle fell silent, Chen Ze looked at the dark mass of heads under the stage, all looking at him.

"You...have made a decision?"

Chen Ze had his hands behind his back and his face remained calm, making it impossible to tell his inner thoughts.

"Sir, are you... really sent by General Ouyang?"

The soldier who was pushed out as a representative walked to the audience and asked hesitantly.

"Here is the token. If you don't believe it, you can check it."

Chen Ze still said the same thing, and then handed the token in his hand forward with an extremely calm expression.

If his token is real, what is he afraid of?

If anyone has really seen Ouyang Lixing's token, it would be better, as it can prove the authenticity of this token for him.

"This... I don't dare. How dare you, little one?"

The soldier took two steps back, shook his head, hesitated and said: "We brothers also believe that Mr. Chen will not deceive us, so..."

He paused and took another step back. Immediately afterwards, he heard a shaking like the ground was shaking. All the soldiers in the audience, more than 5,000 people, knelt down in the direction of Chen Ze and spoke in unison.

They all shouted: "I am willing to listen to the Lord's orders!"

It was the first time for Chen Ze to see such a scene. It was impossible to say that he was not shocked.

Once upon a time, when he was still in his previous life, he had longed for the day when a group of tough men would bow to him, and he would lead them to the battlefield. How happy he was!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ze barely suppressed the shock in his heart and said loudly: "Brothers, there is no need to be like this. I, Chen, am also acting on behalf of General Ouyang. Everyone has the same purpose, which is to solve the crisis in Fengqi Province.

.”

“For this goal, let’s work together!”

"yes!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was another roar of mountains and tsunami.

From then on, the expressions on the faces of the determined soldiers began to relax.

They were really deceived by He Leng and mistreated by Huang Liang. Now that they were finally able to follow the Ming Lord, they were no less excited than Chen Ze.

Will General Ouyang's confidants be weak?

Everyone looked at Chen Ze with eyes full of confidence.

And Chen Ze...

Looking at these earnest eyes, he suddenly felt a sting in his heart.

It is conceivable that if he just rescued his hostages and then evacuated, leaving these soldiers alone...
