my wife is a consul

Chapter 586 The Invaders

The gate of Chishui City was closed tightly, and machine guns, mortars, etc. were erected on the city wall.

In the gun tower, Lu Ming held a binoculars and looked at the black mass of cavalry galloping away in the distance.

Most of Ma Quanyou's retreat should be in the Baihai area. There is not only the Baihai, an inland sea, where water bandits used to be rampant, but now they are all incorporated into Chen Xingchang's Baihai Kingdom, and further to the northwest is the vast desert, mountains and dense forests, where there are many foreign ethnic border peoples. During life, it is difficult for one's own side, whether it is an aircraft or an armored force, to enter the White Sea area.

However, at the same time, one of Ma Quanyou returned to the prairie, and even came to Chishui City to show off his might.

Obviously, his return was not to really attack and regain Chishui City, but to declare its existence, to let the people who are still loyal to Ma Quanyou know that this war is not over yet.

Most of the nomadic tribes in the prairie will cover and even help them fight against their own side.

The current situation is that our own side belongs to the invaders and is huddled in a few fixed cities, while the prairie is dominated by the rebels.

The rebels were supported by many nomadic tribes and launched guerrilla warfare.

In the future, not to mention that small numbers of people going down to various large and small settlements will be full of dangers, even the supply lines of the large settlements occupied by oneself, such as Chishui City, will become the key targets of the rebels.

In addition, there are nomadic tribes headed by the Huangyuan tribe in the west, and they will also support Ma Quanyou's remaining tribes openly and secretly.

How do you feel that you are about to become a U.S. emperor? It is obvious that the other party is vulnerable to a real knife and a gun, but because of the favorable location and harmony, will your side be dragged into the quagmire of war here?

Thinking about it, Lu Ming rubbed his nose, feeling a little weird.

……

In the snow-white restaurant of Ma Quanyou Khan Palace, the walls are inlaid with layers of brilliant diamonds.

Of course, diamonds are not so precious in this world, and they have not been hyped to represent love or be necessary for weddings.

But this is so, it is also an extremely precious decoration, being used by Ma Quanyou in this way, it can be seen that it is extravagant.

The rectangular dining table with white tablecloth, the knives, forks and chopsticks are all made of pure gold.

Ma Quanchang sat beside him, carefully talking with Lu Ming.

"It was decided the day before yesterday! Unexpectedly, there was an urgent report that the remnant of Ma Quanyou's rebel army was fleeing to Chishui. The past two days have been busy preparing for the worst. Commissioner Ma, don't be surprised!" Lu Ming smiled. Hehe said.

Ma Quanchang laughed hurriedly: "No, no."

Lu Ming looked at his watch. He and Ma Quanchang and Tuoba Khan set the time at twelve o'clock at noon. not coming.

Her actions are not completely free, and she is guarded by female agents of the Bureau of Secrecy, but if she deliberately wastes time, the female agents cannot force her to come here. After all, they are asking her to talk about things, not to bring her to court.

There is an elegant fountain flower bed outside the restaurant, and inside the fountain is a snow-white statue of the god of the prairie holding a bow.

When Lu Ming went to look at his watch again, a group of people turned around from behind the fountain statue. The leader was a noble and beautiful woman, wearing a snow-white tunic, revealing some snow-white boots. The face, the skin is fair, the head is wearing a golden crown, inlaid with bright gemstones, and there are two snow-white tassels hanging on the sides. The gorgeous clothes make the beauty more beautiful, picturesque, noble and calm, just like what Lu Ming saw in the film and television works of his previous life. Empress of the Steppe Empire.

When Ma Quanchang saw someone coming, he hesitated for a moment, but he stood up and stood beside him with his hands down, like a minister welcoming the royal family.

Needless to say, it was Empress Tuoba Khan who came.

Although she is just in her early thirties, she got married at the age of 12 and has been married to Ma Quanyou for 18 years. When Ma Quanyou married her, she was nearly forty years old.

Lu Ming looked at her curiously, as if he had come to the classical grassland empire.

Tuoba Khan came to the long table opposite where Lu Ming was sitting, and the personal maid helped her open the chair. She sat down gracefully. From the beginning to the end, not to mention Ma Quanchang, even Lu Ming, the deputy chief minister, she ignored.

Lu Ming smiled and made a gesture, and the attendants brought up a large plate of beef, mutton, melons and fruits, etc.

"Mrs. Tuoba, we are meeting for the first time. My name is Wang Pingbei."

Tuoba Khan glanced at Lu Ming with his wonderful eyes, and nodded slightly, "Director Wang, I don't know why you want me to come here as a prisoner?"

Ma Quanchang sat down in a little embarrassment at this time, and coughed, "After sweating, long time no see."

Tuoba Khan didn't look at him at all, and didn't pay attention to his words.

Ma Quanchang was ashamed and said nothing.

Obviously, in Tuoba Lan's eyes, Ma Quanchang was a traitor who betrayed his ethnic group, and Ma Quanchang also felt guilty.

Lu Ming smiled: "Madam Tuoba, what do you think of the current order in the prairie?"

Tuoba Khan then said lightly: "You have acted recklessly, even if you are willing to leave the grassland now, but you have also formed an enemy for a thousand years, unless you kill all the children of my grassland! But in today's world, I forgive you for not being like this Heaven-defying courage."

Lu Ming nodded and said, "As you said, Ma Quanyou can only slaughter my city of Zhongzhou people. If we retaliate, it will be heinous?"

Tuoba Khan then said coldly: "Your Highness, your pursuit is different from my Da Khan's. Didn't you attack him repeatedly and convict him of a terrible crime in absentia for the wrong thing I did?"

Lu Ming smiled: "It seems that you understand very well, knowing that we will never do such a thing as extermination, but although the herdsmen don't understand now, our department is indeed here to liberate the people of the grassland, and now they don't understand, But I will gradually understand. I swept the settlements one by one, distributed the property of the slave owners to the herdsmen of the settlements, and slowly spread the word. Do you think they will always misunderstand the new life we ​​want to bring to them? Go to hell? Or will you gradually understand that the new way of life we ​​bring will be wonderful?"

Tuoba Khan then said calmly: "Director Wang just do it."

Lu Ming nodded, "I'm about to use the Tuoba clan to do the surgery. The Tuoba clan is located where the water and grass are fertile and the tribal settlements are dense. It's not very far from here. It's more than 500 miles away. Our armed aircraft can fly back and forth, so every three Today, I will dispatch an air crew to sweep, what do you think?"

Tuoba Lan's pretty face changed color slightly.

Lu Ming smiled, blackmail is still effective, in fact, the oil that can be transported to Chishui is so precious now, and he is not willing to use a helicopter to sweep up a grassland settlement in three days.

"How about this, Mrs. Tuoba, you can't be the master of your clan's affairs. I'm going to meet with Patriarch Tuoba. I can fly him to Chishui. I guarantee his safety. How about writing a letter to persuade him to come to Chishui? ?” After a pause, Lu Ming continued: “The Tuoba clan has always been content with pastoral affairs, as long as the Tuoba clan leader is willing to serve the Principality, all conditions are easy to negotiate.”

"I don't know how to write." Tuobalan got up gracefully, "If there is nothing else, the criminal woman is leaving!"

Said it was "the guilty woman resigns", but without any etiquette, she turned around and walked outside.

Ma Quanchang had no choice but to glance at Lu Ming's face with some anxiety.

However, Lu Ming took out his knife and fork and began to eat meat, showing no emotions.
