my wife is a consul

Chapter 579
I drove straight for more than 300 kilometers without any large-scale battles. I encountered a large herdsman tribe with no more than a thousand people. From a distance, I heard the gentle voice of Yumiko Oh, and I traded some meat and milk with the herdsmen. The food was replenished, and there were unscrupulous horse bandits who attacked at night, but of course they came to give away the head.

There were also herdsmen who offered cattle and sheep in fear, and Lu Ming gave them similar coins, which was naturally much cheaper than those in the interior, but the price was much higher than the merchants who were granted a license by Ma Quanyou to collect cattle and sheep from the herdsmen.The herdsmen are grateful.

At night, rest near a wetland, more than [-] miles northwest of here, is one of the three ancient cities of the grassland, the city of Geri.

Liri City is the largest settlement in the Lanyuan Department, with a population of more than [-].

Grassland tribes used to migrate with water and grass, but since two or three hundred years ago, they have gradually formed fixed places for business, religious activities, etc., and noble groups gradually like to settle in these prosperous commercial places, east, central and west The three largest commercial and trade centers are the three ancient cities of the grassland, which are also the largest gathering points of the Lanyuan, Huangyuan and Ma Quanyou's Hongyuan respectively.

……

The stars are twinkling, the entire sky seems to be overhead, and the night sky on the prairie is extremely beautiful.

Except for the sentries, the rest of the soldiers rested on the spot in their clothes, but they were all issued simple sleeping bags with plastic sheets as the bottom.

This made the Dongpu soldiers feel very fresh. In fact, Lu Ming was deeply influenced by his previous life. The combat philosophy was to let the soldiers rest as well as possible under conditions permitting, so that they could be alive and well during the battle.

Lu Ming sat on the tracks of an armored vehicle, looking at the military map in his hand. There was a small red dot on it, which was his current position.

Deputy Lian Wang Dayong sat beside him, while Ma Chinuer paced not far away.

"Tomorrow, we will have a rest in the morning. There will be airborne supplies coming. Let's collect them. At nine o'clock, send someone to pull the cordon as far away as possible, so that the airdropped supplies will not be picked up by the herdsmen." When Lu Ming spoke, Wang Dayong He nodded again and again, although he felt strange, he didn't use the communication soldier to contact the airborne supplies?

The airdrops are mainly fuel, and armored vehicles have generally used fuel from the auxiliary fuel tank.

This time I didn't bring a fuel tanker, so as not to become a key target. There was only one truck loaded with more than a dozen barrels of diesel oil.

Lu Ming took out a pack of cigarettes. This body looks rather heroic, but overall it has the temperament of a rough man. He is not tall, with thick muscles and a cigarette addiction. The toxins of dependence, after being excreted, somehow turned into tobacco addiction.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming still stuffed the cigarette back. It is better to quit if he can quit. Although he feels like this body, smoking or not smoking does not affect his physical skills at all.

The walkie-talkie next to it suddenly buzzed, "Boss, I am post number three, and an envoy from Liri City is here."

"Huh? Let someone come here." Lu Ming responded.

The airship went to investigate yesterday, and there was no sign of large-scale migration of the herdsmen in the city. In the evening, Ma Chinuer took people to investigate, and found no changes in the city.

There was no ambush when it was approaching, nor did the two departments come to support the city, let alone the department fleeing. I didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the Lanyuan department, so the messenger came.

On March [-], it is mainly the Austrian Vietnam Tour.

Because Ma Quanyou's main force is now in the Wudao Plain in northern Xinjiang that he occupies.

The Second Infantry Division and the Black Sparrow Troops were watching his movements. If he returned to his old nest to defend, he would find a way to fight him on the grassland.

But for the time being, there is no sign of large-scale mobilization of Ma Quanyou's department.

In fact, from this point of view, the Austrian Vietnam Brigade is indeed cannon fodder to lure the enemy. If Ma Quanyou's main force returns to aid, before the arrival of the Second Infantry Division, the Austrian Vietnamese Brigade has to face the sharp edge of Ma Quanyou's main force. The task is also to hold back the main force. A bloody battle.

It might be safer in an armored vehicle.

While Lu Ming was pondering, two wolf cavalry led an old man in a prairie cloth robe and walked over. They had already searched him, but the two wolf cavalry were still standing on the left and right to restrain him at any time.

Seeing Lieutenant Lu Ming's military rank, the old man hesitated, "Sir, you, are you leading the army this time?"

Lu Ming smiled: "Are you here to ask for peace? You can tell me first, if you can't pass the conditions from me, then you don't need to see my boss."

The old man was helpless, and said: "Sir, my name is Yangdianzi, and I am here to negotiate peace with your army on behalf of the patriarch of my clan, Yangtuoluo, because my clan has no enmity with your army, and your army is attacking Ma Quanyou..."

Lu Ming waved his hand, "Ma Quanyou is the cavalry division with the strongest combat effectiveness, and your clan has three thousand soldiers in it, right?"

The old man coughed: "We can talk about these things, our clan can call people back..."

Lu Ming waved his hand again to interrupt him, "Six generals in your clan have become accused of crimes against humanity together with Ma Quanyou. Can the other low-level officers and soldiers have done less evil?"

The old man's heart trembled, "What does your army mean?"

Lu Ming pondered and said, "Whether Ma Quanyou's cavalry division is a child of your clan or not, it has nothing to do with your clan now. Your clan will open the city and surrender, and Kaori City will be spared the disaster of swordsmen."

"Here, I need to report to the patriarch." The old man was a little unwilling to give up, "Sir, you also listen to my conditions, and report to your chief?"

Lu Ming waved his hand: "No need, what I just said is the prerequisite for us not to launch an attack on Luri City, otherwise, do you think our army has traveled more than 600 miles to play house with you?"

The old man was silent, and after a while, "Okay, I will report back to the patriarch."

Before coming, the clan had negotiated a lot of favorable conditions, and felt that the peace agreement would be successful. Of course, there was no peace agreement, and it was a surrender to the Principality of Montenegro, but it was relatively a better result.

After all, it is obvious that if the Principality of Montenegro intervenes in the war in northern Xinjiang, then the Ma Quanyou and Chen Xingchang alliance will inevitably fail in the end.

A force that completely drove the Dongying people out of the Northern Territory, even if there were twists and turns in the process, there should be no surprises in defeating the Ma Quanyou Alliance in the end.

Even if there is the benefit of the grassland, Ma Quanyou can return it.

But the Lanyuan tribe is the closest to the Central Continent people, just like the Central Continent people are going deep into the grassland now, not to mention whether they can conquer Ma Quanyou's lair, their own tribe will inevitably suffer first.

Simply, as before, just surrender to the people of Central Continent.

But I didn't think that what the Zhongzhou people meant was that Ma Quanyou's main cavalry division, including the [-] soldiers of his own family, would definitely be wiped out, and they would never accept any part of this army's surrender.

Those three thousand soldiers are the youngest warriors in the clan, how could the patriarch give up?

But the conditions put forward by a small lieutenant in Zhongzhou categorically are obviously the bottom line of the Montenegrin people, so he dared to repay the patriarch himself without communicating with his superiors at all.

The old man sighed, turned and left.

Deputy Lian Wang Dayong looked at his back and said to Lu Ming, "Company commander, are you with the brigade..."

Lu Ming shook his head: "No, let's just be ourselves and prepare to attack."

"Okay!" Wang Dayong said no more.
