Seeing Zhen Jian suddenly summoning hundreds of senior soldiers out, Zhang Zhicheng immediately guessed his intention.

Before he could speak, Zhang Zhicheng came to Zhen Jian consciously and said, "Lord, since you have occupied Qingshi City, I will order everyone to hand over weapons and ammunition and let you arrange it. What do you think?"

Zhen Jian was stunned. This guy is really sensible.

In an instant, my favorability towards him increased a lot.

At this time, Zhang Zhicheng said again: "Or otherwise, I will arrange a few soldiers now and ask him to take you over the various military points in the city?"

Hearing this, Zhen Jian nodded and said, "Heilong, take the soldiers with them. I believe you know how to arrange this."

"Yes, sir!"

After hearing the order, Heilong immediately took these recruits to take over key points in the city.

Since you have occupied this town, many key places must be replaced with your own soldiers.

Now, there are only Zhen Jian and Zhang Zhicheng left in the ruined camp.

Zhen Jian looked at him and asked, "How many people are left in the city?"

Zhang Zhicheng understood the meaning of this sentence.

So he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "When I came before, I made a rough estimate. At present, there should be 28,000 slaves and civilians in Bluestone City. For soldiers, including wounded soldiers, there are about 7,700."

"In addition to these people, there are no more than thirty officers at all levels of lieutenant and school level officers."

Zhen Jian nodded, "That is to say, the total of all slaves, soldiers and civilians in Qingshi City are almost 29,000?"

"It should be this number."

Zhang Zhicheng said humbly: "The specific number still needs detailed statistics. Lord Lord, don't worry. At most tomorrow afternoon, I will list all the population, weapons, ammunition, food and various supplies in the entire Bluestone City and deliver them to you."

Zhen Jiandan looked at him and asked straight to the point: "What are your plans now? Do you leave Qingshi City or surrender to me?"

Zhang Zhicheng seemed to be prepared and asked, "Lord, I have just been promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and I should have added five followers. If I don't dislike it, can I give one?"

After hearing this, Zhen Jian was stunned.

He never expected that Zhang Zhicheng would choose to follow him.

It's a deep surprise.

Originally, according to Zhen Jian's speculation, after Zhang Zhicheng surrendered, he might choose to join the Black Hawk Territory and become his puppet ally.

But it seems that Zhang Zhicheng does not have this idea.

Thinking of this, Zhen Jian asked curiously: "Why did you choose to be my follower, not others?"

Zhang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Because Lord Lord is strong enough, only by becoming your follower can you trust me and will not have suspicion or precautions about me."

Speaking of this, he paused and said sincerely: "Actually, these are not the main reasons. The main reason is that you are a Chinese and have such strong strength. Compared with those foreign races, it is more worthy of my followers."

"You can break through Bluestone City with thunder on the first day of your tenure. I believe that it will not take long before the other three warlords will be conquered by you."

Hearing this, Zhen Jian felt aroused in his heart and thought to himself that this guy had a long-term vision and actually thought about it with him.

"Zhang Zhicheng, if I give you a chance, how many years will you be planning to sign?"

"permanent!"

Zhang Zhicheng answered without hesitation.

Zhen Jian looked at his eyes and found that his eyes were very firm. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Permanently? Have you considered it clearly?"

Zhang Zhicheng said: "Don't Lord believe me?"

Zhen Jian shook his head, "That's not what I mean. I just think that you, a colonel, are you, a major, and follow me forever."

"For the future! And to extend my life!"

Suddenly, Zhang Zhicheng's expression became extremely serious and he said slowly: "I am almost ninety years old this year. Although I still look middle-aged, I actually don't have a few years to live."

Zhen Jian was stunned for a moment and said curiously: "How did you know that you will live in a few years?"

Zhang Zhicheng sighed: "Last August, the Wanjie System gave a countdown on life, and I still have less than three years of life."

"Countdown to life?" Zhen Jian was a little surprised.

"right!"

Zhang Zhicheng nodded and continued: "Although every arrival can strengthen the body by adding four attributes, so that he can avoid illness and delay aging, he still has to face death for a certain period of time, but it is just a little longer than ordinary people."

"I have been stuck in the rank of colonel for twenty years. When I surrendered to Edward, I was able to wait for a second-class merit to be promoted to Shao General. As long as I was promoted to Shao General, I would get privileges. One of the privilege rewards can extend the lifespan of fifty years."

Hearing this, Zhen Jian already understood what was going on, so he looked at him with a smile, "So, you have the conditions to choose to follow me forever, right?"

"Yes."

Zhang Zhicheng did not hide it and nodded directly: "Before signing a contract of permanent follow-up, I need a promise for you."

Zhen Jian asked, "Let me tell me."

At this time, Zhang Zhicheng took a deep breath and said, "I need the Lord Lord to help me obtain the second-class merit once, and it will take within a year, because I am afraid I can't wait for too long."

"That's the condition?"

"Yes."

This time, Zhen Jian did not say nonsense and nodded directly: "Okay, I promise you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhicheng's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Thank you Lord Lord!"

Zhen Jian took out a conscription contract and handed it to him, "Sign it!"

Zhang Zhicheng did not delay, but as a result, he quickly signed his name on the option of permanently following.

In an instant, a prompt sound from the Wanjie System suddenly sounded in Zhen Jian’s mind:

"Zhang Zhicheng, No. Z598, has signed a permanent recruitment contract with you and become your loyal follower. From this moment on, you will have the absolute command of all his soldiers. At the same time, you must ensure his safety, dignity, and growth. Special guarantee treaty: You must help him to promote the rank of General Shao within one year..."

Immediately afterwards, a prompt sound from the Wanjie System also sounded in Zhang Zhicheng's mind:

"The contract was signed successfully. From this moment on, you will officially establish a permanent follower relationship with Z168 Zhen Jian and become his most loyal supporter. From today on, you must unconditionally obey any orders of his and not betray him. Otherwise, he has the right to deprive you of your military power and eliminate your system of fighting for hegemony in all worlds..."

"The permanent contract has taken effect, and neither party has the right to suspend the contract. Please strictly abide by the contract rules..."

As the system prompted the sound ended, the recruitment contract that Zhang Zhicheng had just signed immediately turned into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace.

Zhen Jian looked at Zhang Zhicheng with a smile on his face and slowly stretched out his hand, "Col. Zhang Zhicheng, welcome you to join my team!"

"Thanks!"

Zhang Zhicheng also smiled, and he held Zhen Jian's hand hard, "Please rest assured, Lord Lord, I will do my best to complete every task you have assigned me in the future."

Zhen Jian looked at his eyes and said calmly: "I have a task for you now."

Zhang Zhicheng's heart moved and had already guessed what the task was. "Lord, please give me instructions?"

Zhen Jiandandan said: "From today, I will station in Qingshi City for me and help me win the hearts of the people."

Zhang Zhicheng nodded, "Don't worry, I have been in Qingshi City for twenty years, and there is no problem at all. Lord Lord, otherwise I would sit at my command center, and the ruins would be too dirty and messy."

"good!"

"Lord, please come with me."

Along the way, Zhang Zhicheng took Zhen Jian through a street in front and walked towards the south of Bluestone City.

According to the conversation, Zhen Jian learned that his command was not in the core camp, but in the south of the town.

On the way to the command center, Zhang Zhicheng told Zhen Jian about a lot of things about Qingshi City.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhicheng stopped and asked, "Lord, I wonder if you noticed a notice from the public last night."

Zhen Jian nodded and said, "You mean the Yanyang Empire destroyed the Eastern Jin Alliance, right?"

“It’s not that simple,”

Zhang Zhicheng said with a serious expression: "The Sixth Legion of the Divine Wind of the Yanyang Empire is now approaching the Southern Wilderness. Judging from the strategic intentions of the Japanese devils, they are very clear, just to occupy the entire Southern Wilderness. I guess there are greater ambitions and plans later."

Zhen Jian asked casually: "How big is the area of ​​the Southern Wilderness?"

Zhang Zhicheng thought about it, "It's almost as big as half a China."

Hearing this, Zhen Jian said in surprise: "That area is not small. If the Japanese want to occupy the entire Southern Wilderness, it will probably not be that easy. After all, there should be a large number of warlord forces entrenched here."

Zhang Zhicheng shook his head, "The Japanese's Kamikaze Sixth Legion is known as one of the top ten armies with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Yanyang Empire. They are very terrible in terms of weapons and equipment, personal strength and qualities. Otherwise, they would not have been able to have successively annexed more than 30 alliance countries of large and small earth camps in just fifty years."

Zhen Jian frowned, "Is it so strong?"

Zhang Zhicheng nodded, "The Kage Feng Legion is very strong. Although there are a large number of warlord forces in the Southern Wilderness, in fact, they are all in a mess. Once the Kage Feng Legion really enters the Southern Wilderness, it will take less than a year for all, and all of them will fall here."

Zhen Jian pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that we must prepare as soon as possible."

"Actually, there are signs of this matter,"

Zhang Zhicheng looked at the dark night and said slowly: "Last month, the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, these three alliances sent some secret envoys to enter the Southern Wilderness and lobbyed the lords and warlords that occupies the Southern Wilderness. He hopes that everyone can unite and form a new alliance to fight against the invading Kamikaze Legion, and they will provide support later."

"What's the result?"

Zhen Jian's heart moved and asked hurriedly: "What's the result of this?"

"No result!"
