Chapter 88: Letters from Sauron
|||->-> Most people were shocked when they saw the letter from the Sauronians. They almost couldn't imagine that the enemy's coach Lian Yunpo would send such a strange letter at this moment.
The letter reads:
"I heard that our Deputy Marshal Guan Yunlong has been arrested by your side. Now I, Lian Yunpo, ask for a good negotiation with the Saran soldiers. The negotiation location is set at the entrance of the Yokoga military camp on your side. ”
At the end of the letter, there was also Lian Yunpo's big signature.
After Shen Mengting read the letter, she picked it up and shook it quickly, and the sound of the paper quickly spread in the meeting hall.
"How is it?Do you guys have any thoughts on this?" Shen Mengting had a weird smile on her face, and her eyes were also terrifyingly sharp.
"Wait! Is this letter really from Lian Yunpo?" General Wang Bin asked.
But Shen Mengting was in no hurry to answer the question. In fact, the person who sent the letter, without thinking about it, knew that it was written by Lian Yunpo himself. The general meaning he wants to express is also: "I hope that Shen Mengting will personally go out of the military camp and have a negotiating meeting with him." As for the location, it was chosen at the gate of the Yokoga military camp. ”
To be honest, when Shen Mengting first received this letter, she was really full of surprise. She would never have thought that Lian Yunpo would personally write a letter and ask her to come to the meeting.
What is Lian Yunpo's purpose? Or is he trying to take advantage of the opportunity to do something?
Shen Mengting's heart was extremely complicated at that time, and she immediately gave the letter to every general to read, and discussed how to solve the matter.
Subsequently, the opinions of the generals were basically unanimous, that is, to ignore them completely. The reason is also very simple, Lian Yun is quite powerful, who knows if he will play a sneak attack when they meet!
But Shen Mengting retorted: "Yes, I know your concerns. If that old thing from Lian Yunpo suddenly exerts his strength during the meeting, then it is estimated that we will be killed by him in an instant. But I believe that he also understands the situation, so he chose the meeting place at the gate of our Yokoga military camp. ”
"Oh, what does Marshal Shen mean that Lian Yunpo actually didn't plan to play a sneak attack?" Deputy Marshal Ma Liming asked directly.
"I don't think he'll play such a poor trick. You all think about it, when he asks to meet with us, he will also think about it from our point of view. If it was a very dangerous situation, he should be able to guess that we would refuse. That's why he set the meeting place at the gate of the Yokoga military camp. Because that is our territory, there are tens of thousands of troops standing behind us, even if Lian Yunpo has strong strength, he will not be able to kill us with ease among tens of thousands of troops. ”
"But, Generalissimo! If Lian Yunpo's meeting was just a pretense, his actual idea was a sneak attack! For example, he first gave us the illusion that he wanted to talk about something sincerely, but in fact he wanted to play sneak attack. Behind him single-handedly, there are still tens of thousands of Sauron troops on standby, ready to attack our Yokoga military camp at any time!"
"General Wang Bin is right, I do expect this chance. Therefore, I think that if we do decide to go to the appointment, we must order all the soldiers in the Yokoga camp to be ready for a sneak attack by the enemy. Of course, you must also do a good job of reconnaissance from a distance to see if there are any abnormal troops around. ”
Shen Mengting looked at Chen Tianhao intentionally or unintentionally. When it comes to investigative work, it is natural to leave it to this assassin.
Chen Tianhao also understood his intentions very well, nodded casually, and told him that he would do a good job of the investigation immediately.
"Ah, Generalissimo, it seems that you are planning to go to the appointment!" Wang Bin showed a surprised face.
The rest of the people were also stunned, perhaps they never imagined that Sauron's letter would be accepted by Shen Mengting.
"I'm going to the appointment because ...... I really want to see what Lian Yunpo wants to tell me?"
"Marshal Shen, if you want to guess what Lian Yunpo on the other side is going to do, I may be able to speculate. Ma Liming walked to the center of the room and glanced at the letter in Shen Mengting's hand from a distance, "Isn't there an emphasis at the end of the letter? Obviously, Lian Yunpo wants to exchange hostages with us. ”
"Oh, exchange hostages?" Shen Mengting raised her hand and touched her chin, "From the fact that he asked to bring Guan Yunlong, it seems that this is really the case! Otherwise, it is difficult for me to imagine what this old man wants to say to me." ”
"I think it's really related to Guan Yunlong. Guan Yunlong is a banner of Sauron's army, and his capture is really too big a blow to Sauron's soldiers. Lian Yunpo estimated that he wanted to redeem Guan Yunlong. Ma Liming turned his body slightly, and the front almost fit perfectly in the direction of Shen Mengting.
"Yes! And I heard that Lian Yunpo and Guan Yunlong have a comradeship of nearly 50 years! I think Lian Yunpo will definitely not let Guan Yunlong bear the grievances of being captured! It is estimated that Lian Yunpo has been racking his brains for a long time to think about how to rescue Guan Yunlong. General Wang Bin also echoed it.
The two mainstay generals both chose to believe that Lian Yun was quite committed to saving Guan Yunlong.
"But I have a question. Chen Tianhao quickly raised his head with his habitual movements, "At present, the two countries are still in a state of fighting! How can Lian Yun be quite confident that he will negotiate to let us release Guan Yunlong?"
"This ......," Ma Liming pondered for a moment, "I guess he will make some appropriate compromises!...... Hmmm......"
Ma Liming wanted to squeeze out some thoughts, but in any case, he couldn't spit out some words.
That's the problem.
If Lian Yunpo really came for Guan Yunlong, then what confidence did he have to urge the Saran side to release him? If there was something to compromise, considering the current hatred between the two countries, it seemed that Sauron had nothing to compromise.
If you really want to worry about a reason, it is estimated that you have withdrawn from the army.
But Lian Yunpo must not retreat so easily, they Sauron has spent so much time attacking Saran, how can they give up the idea of invasion because of an old marshal!
Therefore, Shen Mengting herself couldn't imagine the reason why Lian Yunpo would send letters, and it seemed that she would have to wait until she really went to the meeting before she could fully explore.
Shen Mengting immediately issued an order to the generals: "Okay! I have decided, agreed to the request in the letter, and will go to the appointment in a few days." I want to see what kind of medicine is being sold in Lian Yunpo's gourd. ”
Now that Shen Mengting has issued an order, the generals can only listen to the order. However, behind the worries, Ma Liming still made some suggestions.
"Generalissimo, if you want to go to the appointment, I can't stop you. But as you just said, the process of going to an appointment can be dangerous. So...... General Wang Bin and I should be fully prepared in the barracks for the possible insidious sneak attack of the Saurons. ”
Shen Mengting glanced at Ma Liming: "Well! Deputy Marshal Ma Liming is right! In order to be prepared, it is true that all the soldiers should be on standby." ”
"Well, on that day, I will certainly have all the soldiers in the camp lined up, and the marshal will be able to go to the appointment. ”
"Then I really want to thank you!" Shen Mengting bowed to Ma Liming.
"Oh, I'm really going to go to the appointment!" Qian Hao made a very 'surprised' look, but because it was too exaggerated, his behavior was almost like a test, "So...... Are you going to see that Lian Yunpo again! This dead old man, he hasn't been asked to settle the account for the last sneak attack!"
"Qian Hao, don't play any tricks. Shen Mengting glared at Qian Hao coldly, "If you want to do something to him, you may not survive for a few seconds." ”
As if his heart was impacted, Qian Hao also shouted "wow", and quickly shrank his body back.
"But Marshal Shen, when you say this, I have other worries. At this time, Shen Jun took the opposite step forward, "What if Lian Yun's so-called appointment is a trap? He wants to lure you out and then kill you directly." ”
"I've already talked about this before. The place where we went to the appointment was the gate of the Yokoga military camp, and I didn't think that Lian Yunpo would have the courage to do it at our doorstep. Shen Mengting put her hands behind her back.
Shen Jun nodded after hearing this, but he muttered some words later, "But to tell the truth! Lian Yun is quite able to choose the location at the gate of our military camp, that is really courageous! Isn't he afraid that we will suddenly come to attack? For example...... When he was going to the appointment, he suddenly mobilized thousands of troops to round him up?"
"Shen Jun, your 'worry' is a bit redundant. Shen Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth with a smile, "That guy Lian Yunpo, but he is the world's famous general of Sailor! His outstanding strength, I'm afraid that even if we all go up together, we won't be able to form a terrible injury to him in real time." ”
Shen Mengting's words were a little scary, at least most people stopped talking.
Zhao Yu was also trembling beside him, from the only time he had contact with that Marshal Sauron, who was called Lian Yunpo, he could sense the strong strength of the other party.
Maybe it's really as Shen Mengting said, even if she really led all the generals in the Yokoga military camp, she wouldn't be able to win against Lian Yunpo.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything else, otherwise you're just putting pressure on yourself. I will immediately send a letter back to Sauron to show that I have agreed to go to the negotiation agreement. Shen Mengting straightened her waist and announced to everyone in the room.
But after that, Shen Mengting also needs to choose the characters who will go to the appointment with her. So, she began to travel around the crowd.
Several names were quickly reported by her to Yoyo, and her tone was quite neat. Among the people she selected, there were Qian Hao, Shen Jun, Chen Tianhao, Jiang Jingwen and an unexpected candidate.
"Zhao Yu, you should come along! You are the general of our Yokoga military camp, so you must follow us to exercise well in the future. That's what Shen Mengting said.
Zhao Yu was a little flattered and shouted,
"Hey, what are you 'ahhh
After Shen Mengting said this, Zhao Yu's heart was much smoother, and he began to bow straight and thank you. But then Shen Mengting hurriedly waved his hand, which suppressed his hot-headed mood.
It was Qian Hao and Shen Jun next to him who were busy coming over and making funny jokes.
"Oh yes! General Zhao Yu is really amazing! I am really jealous of such a good opportunity. ”
"Qian Hao, what are you jealous of! Marshal Shen went out to complete the task, didn't he always take you?" Shen Jun grinned and elbowed Qian Hao.
"Ah! I'm different. Every time I was sent on a mission, our Marshal Shen spoke in a commanding tone. To put it bluntly, they just treat me like a cow and a mother. But General Zhao is different, he not only enjoyed the marshal's personal handpicking, but also directly clarified that it was exercise. Do you think I can not be jealous?"
Qian Hao's body kept shaking like a tremble, and his outstretched hands combined with his twisting neck really looked like a clown.
Zhao Yu didn't know how to refute, or maybe he had long been used to being joked about by others.
"Okay!Okay!You're endless, and now we have a very difficult task!Why are you still joking here?" Shen Mengting clapped her hands quickly, almost in a reprimanding tone, yelling at Qian Hao.
Qian Hao and Shen Jun stopped talking, but silently shrunk their necks.
Since the matter of going to the appointment has been completely finalized by Shen Mengting, it means that all decisions can no longer be changed.
"I'm going to reply to the letter now, and you should prepare yourself. Shen Mengting said casually after that, and then picked up her steps and walked out of the gate.
Shen Mengting's expression was still relatively tight, because she knew very well what they were about to face.
After Shen Mengting walked out, the generals chatted with each other. Ma Liming and Wang Bin were discussing how to make all the soldiers in the military camp completely on standby on the day of the appointment, so as to be ready for defense at any time.
And Qian Hao and the others were talking about how to prevent the enemy from doing bad when they met Lian Yunpo again.
It can be said that all the people in the room have chatting in the opposite direction, but only Zhao Yu has always remained silent. He was still panicking at being given a follow-up mission.
Zhao Yu didn't know why he was named to go to the appointment together, but if Shen Mengting really wanted to train him, then he would definitely not be able to live up to the marshal's expectations.
'Well, I have to be...... Become a good magician!' Zhao Yu raised his head slightly, and let out a firm word towards the ceiling.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Just when Zhao Yu was thinking wildly, Qian Hao's sharp tone came over. He also came to Zhao Yu's side, and grabbed Zhao Yu's shoulder by the way.
"Oh, what are you thinking, boy?"
After Qian Hao came over, others such as Shen Jun and Jiang Jingwen also approached.
"Ahh......h I'm just ...... I'm imagining that if I really go to the appointment that day, will I be able to do something for the team!" Zhao Yu held the staff tightly, and his head was still a little lowered.
Qian Hao's smile seemed to freeze a little, but it didn't take long for his expression to return to his natural state, "Ahhh ”
Qian Hao's words were a little surprising, but Zhao Yu still took them into his ears.
The meeting seemed to have come to an end, and most of the generals decided to do their own thing. So for Zhao Yu, his first task is to become a more qualified magician, in order to make some contributions to the team.
With this thought, Zhao Yu decided to practice his magician skills at night. Lately, when others were sleeping, he would go out of the camp and choose to practice his magician skills.
The letter that Shen Mengting replied to was sent out in the afternoon. Then, quite surprisingly, Lian Yunpo on the other side replied to the letter in the evening. What he meant was that the sooner we met, the better, and the exact time was set for tomorrow morning.
Regarding Lian Yunpo's impatience, the generals also had a lot of discussions.
"I can't see it! Lian Yunpo, who has always been steady on weekdays, is so anxious at this moment. Ma Liming has been making emotional words.
