Chapter 18: Reinforcements Arrive
Guan Yunlong's words were too sad, and Lian Yunpo hurriedly raised his hand for this, "Alas, Brother Guan! Why do you bother to say this! You have fought a lot of wars before, and you are simply a history of Sauron's conquest!"
"But I've never thought that there weren't enough wars, haven't we, Sauron's old-timers, been dreaming of unifying all mankind? Since I have this opportunity, how can I give up in vain!" Guan Yunlong turned around, which also made him face to face with Lian Yunpo again.
Lian Yunpo had no choice but to nod, "You're right! That's good! I'm going to thank Marshal Guan for coming to help me now! If there is anything in the future, I have to ask Brother Guan to give me advice!"
"Alas!" Guan Yunlong immediately waved his arm politely, "Marshal Lian! Don't talk like that! I'm just a deputy marshal, and you are the real generalissimo! So I have to listen to you for anything in the future!"
"Alas, Brother Guan, it's too ...... for you to say that," Lian Yun was a little unable to express his actual thoughts, "Based on your experience on the battlefield, do you still need me to talk about some things?" I think I still have to listen to your opinion in the end!"
"You're right...... Okay, I don't think the two of us should bother with this!" Guan Yunlong turned around and walked away in other directions. But not long after, he suddenly stopped again.
And at this moment, Lian Yun consciously glanced at the other people in the room. In fact, from the moment he walked in here, he saw three other people sitting in addition to Deputy Marshal Guan Yunlong. They seem to be very young, and some of them are Guan Yunlong's followers.
At the moment when Guan Yunlong stood up before, the other three also stood up together stiffly. It's just that because Lian Yun was too immersed in the joy of meeting his friends again, he didn't pay attention to the extra three people.
Now, the three of them have been standing for a while, and they still look a little embarrassed.
"Come, I'll introduce you to a few people!" Guan Yunlong deliberately raised his hand, and the upturned palm was like a blanket dangling around the three of them, "They are all sent by Prime Minister Changsun to assist several generals together!"
"Oh?"
After hearing the words 'Prime Minister of the Eldest Sun', Lian Yunpo was able to take a look at the three of them.
They are very young, and the oldest is just over thirty.
"They are ......"
"This is General Zhang Zhijie!" Guan Yunlong pointed to the next magician who was holding a staff and his hairline was almost above his head.
Zhang Zhijie and Lian Yunpo only felt that this name was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered all of this person, "Oh! you are Zhang Zhijie!" Lian Yunpo was nodding to the magician.
The magician instantly nodded in response as if he had received some favor. But suddenly, he seemed to realize that this action was actually a bit disrespectful to the old man in front of him. Helpless, he could only bow his head slightly.
"You don't have to see the outside world like this! Since Prime Minister Changsun sent you here, then you will be my subordinate from now on!" Lian Yunpo's expression was a little serious, he seemed to have a feeling that he only moved his mouth but the muscles on his cheeks didn't move at all, "Also, I've heard rumors about you before! It was said that Prime Minister Wenwei of the eldest grandson had recruited a young Salan genius magician! Now to see you here, that's really exciting!"
Although Lian Yunpo's words were a little vigorous, his tone was blunt.
"General Zhang Zhijie! I'm glad to meet!" Lian Yunpo made a fist salute to the other party.
Zhang Zhijie also hurriedly responded with the same action, and his neck was very shrunk all the time. For he knew that the man standing before him was the land of Sauron!
"By the way, General Zhang Zhijie! I heard that your level is a master! Master-level magician?" After the greeting action, Lian Yunpo resumed his backhand movement.
After hesitating, Zhang Zhijie still nodded, "Generalissimo Hui!
"You don't have to be so restrained! No matter what country you're talking about, now that you've taken refuge in our Sauron, I'm completely treating you as my own, and you don't have to care about anything!"
"That's it, don't look at this generalissimo Lian looks very serious, in fact, he treats his soldiers very well!" Guan Yunlong also echoed beside him.
"Exactly! So you really don't want to be so restrained anymore, it's weird and uncomfortable to look at!" Lian Yun unconsciously showed an uncomfortable look as if he had eaten a bad stomach.
Zhang Zhijie finally straightened her waist as if she complied, but her facial expression was still respectful.
"I've heard before that a young magician from Saran has a tendency to catch up with and surpass Yang Jiening! Looking here today, it really deserves its reputation!" Lian Yunpo nodded quickly, "Then I really want to thank the eldest grandson for his favor!"
"The Generalissimo has won the prize!"
"That's not it!" Guan Yunlong seemed to be still immersed in excitement, and he was exaggerating Zhang Zhijie's youth and promisingness. And if you want to dig deeper into why he values Zhang Zhijie so much, you have to go back to the moment when they just left Shengyang City, the capital of Sauron.
Zhang Zhijie bribed Guan Yunlong a lot of money, hoping that he could say something beneficial to himself in front of Marshal Lian.
Guan Yunlong, who received the money, was naturally not negative, and he almost gave away many words of praise.
The deputy marshal's series of actions made Sun Junfeng, who was present, a little dissatisfied. He didn't know why Guan Yunlong wanted to blow the one named Zhang Zhijie like this.
'Master-level, right!' Sun Junfeng shook his body slightly, "I will reach this level in the future!"
"That's really a gift from God! Now with the help of my brother and this magician Zhang Zhijie, I want to destroy the Saran Kingdom, it's almost just around the corner!" Lian Yun seemed to be summing up, but in fact, he didn't want to listen to any more words of praise for Zhang Zhijie.
Guan Yunlong also realized this, and he began to introduce the other two again, "Marshal Lian! In addition to Zhang Zhijie, there are two other young and promising generals!"
Lian Yunpo quickly let out an 'oh', just signaling Guan Yunlong to continue.
"This young man's name is Zhu Qi, and he is a blood shaman! This is Lu Lei, and he is a swordsman!"
With Guan Yunlong's introduction, Lian Yunpo glanced at the two young people. Without paying too much attention to their characteristics, Lian Yunpo just continued to nod his head and 'um' several times.
"It's really two talents! I think that I have a country like you young and promising people, and it's hard for us not to be strong!" Lian Yunpo's nodding increased, and his emotional words became more and more inexplicable. But a discerning person can see that he is perfunctory.
After that, Guan Yunlong reported the professional levels of the two young people, but they were all redundant. In fact, as early as when Lian Yunpo went to look at the two of them, he had already noticed from his visual inspection that they were both at the expert level.
"I'll arrange accommodation for a few generals. Of course, here, I still have to thank Brother Xiaguan and the distant king and Prime Minister Zhang Sun. They've sent me so many people, I can't wait to teach those Sarans a lesson!"
"Me too!" Guan Yunlong began to rub his hands, he seemed to be more active than the few young people next to him.
"Well, me too! I really want to cut a few Sarans now!" the one who spoke was an expert-level swordsman named Lu Lei. However, his shouting did not edify others, but on the contrary, it caused Zhang Zhijie's glare.
"The two marshals are here, it's hard for me to interject, how can you speak!" Zhang Zhijie's gloomy expression seemed to be saying this.
"Okay! Everyone is also rubbing here, you have all been on the road for a few days, let's all go and rest!" Lian Yun pushed his hand directly at everyone.
"Well, yes! It really took me a lot of effort to come from Shengyang City!" Guan Yunlong put down the long knife in his hand. But when the bottom of the handle touched the ground, it also made a shower of dust.
"Brother Guan, I think you should rest later! We haven't seen each other for a long time! Let's have a few drinks to catch up first!" Lian Yunpo deliberately approached Guan Yunlong's side.
"Ah! Since Marshal Lian has said so, then I might as well be respectful and obey!" Guan Yunlong responded with a push hand movement.
"Okay, let's go to my tent, let's both have a few drinks!" said Lian Yunpo, who even stretched out his hand to Guan Yunlong's back. However, before going out, he still sent the young generals a little, "That's it! I have something to talk about with Marshal Guan Yunlong! You just wait here for a while! Someone will arrange the room for you!"
Without waiting for any response, Lian Yunpo left the hood with Guan Yunlong. Now, naturally, Zhang Zhijie and Sun Junfeng were left behind.
"Okay! Since the marshal has said so, you can stay here for a while! I will arrange your residence!" Sun Junfeng walked in front of Zhang Zhijie, and he knew that this magician was the eldest brother among them.
Zhang Zhijie stared at Sun Junfeng, who came to him, and quickly sent a pleasant smile, "Thank you so much!"
"No thanks, then I'll leave too!" Sun Junfeng immediately turned around, he didn't respond with a smile in response, "You guys just rest here!"
Without making eye contact, Sun Junfeng walked straight out.
Zhang Zhijie found that the man was carrying a longbow expert archer behind him!
When Sun Junfeng walked out completely, Zhu Qi next to him was completely relieved. He then sat down and gulped down the tea on the coffee table beside his chair.
"Oh yes, they're finally gone! I'm so nervous when the two marshals are here!"
"What's so nervous about this!Zhu Qi!" Zhang Zhijie slowly walked up to him.
"Oh, aren't you nervous?"
"Nervous is nervous! But this is also an opportunity!" Zhang Zhijie's mouth hooked.
"Boss, what do you mean by that?" Lu Lei asked curiously.
"Don't you two have long eyes? That's Generalissimo Lian Yunpo! As long as you climb this big tree, in the future in Sauron's army, it can be said that you will be unimpeded and have a bright future!"
A chilling smile appeared on Zhang Zhijie's face. Now, he finally understands the reason why Prime Minister Wenwei, the eldest grandson, sent himself to Lian Yunpo's side.
I must behave well, and the expression of Zhang Zhijie, who was defeated by the Salans outside the Qing City with blood, began to tighten again.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sitting opposite Vice Marshal Guan Yunlong, Lian Yunpo poured some rice wine into the other party's wine glass from time to time as a throat moisten.
"It's really nice to be able to sit down and have a few drinks together like this!" When he finished pouring wine to the other party, Lian Yunpo picked up the glass in front of him.
He slowly lowered the glass in front of him and gently pushed it forward. He was waiting for the other party's response, so that the two of them could drink together.
Seeing this, Guan Yunlong picked up the filled wine glass and shook it in front of him.
"Then Brother Guan, little brother, I have to drink it first!"
"Hahaha! Marshal Lian! Why are you so polite! Here you are the generalissimo!"
"Alas, even if he has a high position, Brother Guan is more than twenty years older than me! How can I disrespect my elders!"
Guan Yunlong naturally couldn't succumb to others, he also drank the wine glass in his hand, and there was hardly a drop left.
The two of them put down their glasses at the same time as if carved out of a millstone, and continued to look at each other.
"This may be the last time I'll fight!" Guan Yunlong's emotions had already moved closer to sadness when he said this.
"Why did Brother Guan start saying something sad again! We have a great opportunity, just waiting to enjoy the joy of winning the war!"
"Well, you're right! Once upon a time, we Sauron defeated one human opponent after another, until we became the vast empire that affects the entire Celos. But......" Guan Yunlong seemed to be a little angry, he no longer touched the wine glass, but instead clenched his hand into a fist, "but in front of the country of Saran, he was blocked from his footsteps!"
"Not this time! I swear that this war will definitely hit the other side's national capital, Qingcheng! At that time, let's enjoy the fun of visiting the main city of mankind by the city wall!"
"Okay, Marshal Lian! I really admire you for having such determination!" As he spoke, Guan Yunlong poured a full amount of sake into his wine glass.
didn't mean to wait for the other party's response, Guan Yunlong drank the wine directly. However, the moment he put down the wine glass after drinking, he said something extremely sensitive.
"Actually, I had already heard about it before I came to this barracks! Marshal Lian! You seem to be a little unfavorable!" Guan Yunlong's face showed a slight evil smile.
"Hmph! It's just a temporary retreat!"
"Then I don't understand! It stands to reason that Saran's group of rubbish can't have the strength to stop you or anything! How could you fail to sneak attack?"
Lian Yun raised his eyes quite quickly, and he stared at Guan Yunlong for a long time before gradually lowering his eyes. It seems that the entire Shengyang City has been full of rumors of its defeat in the first battle!
"Brother Guan, I used to have the same thoughts as you! But don't underestimate those Sarans! They will give you a fatal blow the moment you underestimate the enemy.
"Oh, are there still powerful Sarans now? Aren't Shen Haiteng and Yang Jiening already dead? How can anyone dare to stand up and hinder you?" Guan Yunlong didn't move the wine glass again, he knew that if he drank it again, he might be at risk.
As a battle-hardened veteran marshal, he didn't want to mess up the enemy.
"Hehe! That's why I'm going to ask Brother Guan to come here for a drink! I want to tell you about Brother Guan, the Saran generals who are fighting against us this time!"
"Oh, then I'll listen to you!" Guan Yunlong's body was leaning forward, so that he could get closer to Lian Yunpo on the other side.
Lian Yun took a deep breath, and he began to explain what he had faced with Saran in the past few days. By the time he finished speaking, Guan Yunlong's eyes, which were already a little sunken, were about to turn into a jingle bell.
"What are you talking about? I can't imagine that after Shen Haiteng dies, his daughter will become an obstacle for us!"
"She's just one of them! I can feel that the young people around her are all talented. If the war drags on, the devil knows what they'll become. Lian Yunpo lowered his head, and his gaze at his wine glass in front of him was a little stunned.
"Marshal Lian! This is not like you! You have never had a headache for a country like Saran!"
"I know that! I am confident that I can defeat the kingdom of Saran......! I don't know why every time I feel uneasy about this country!"
"If you're not upset, don't think about it! Now, you're not fighting alone, didn't the king and the prime minister send you young blood? And Sun Junfeng by your side, we don't need to be afraid of those Saranites at all!"
"I said, Brother Guan, maybe you misunderstood what I meant, but I have never been afraid of the Saran. It's just ......" Lian Yunpo seemed to say something, but after swallowing his saliva, he forcibly swallowed the words.
"Marshal Lian!"
Actually, I don't like that Zhang Zhijie at all, I just think that he is a traitor and is not worthy of marching and fighting with us!"
"Oh?" Guan Yunlong seemed to hear something interesting, and his hands touched the table, "Why don't you like it? You still say that he is a traitor! However, you have always wanted to recruit Shen Haiteng before! You also said that he does not know how to raise his ropes and refuses to take refuge in the country of Sauron!"
"There is a very big gap between those who have been recruited by all means and those who have taken the initiative to surrender! Besides, I don't admire Shen Haiteng because he may defect to our Sauron! Mainly because of his own outstanding strength."
An old low laugh was released, and Guan Yunlong's broken teeth were exposed, "Hehehehahahaha...... Marshal Lian, do you think there is a difference between the two?"
"Yes! There must be!" Lian Yunpo's tone was very categorical, "After all, who would like a traitor who betrays his country's interests!
In the following time, they talked about the war in general. Late at night, they were drinking and talking. Of course, they still have a relatively controlled amount of alcohol, and they are all avoiding getting drunk.
