Chapter 567: Ambition

"Siqi, now you immediately lead people to directly bypass Taigu County and pursue them north!" Mu Yizheng immediately gave an order to An Siqi after reading the note in his hand.

"What's wrong with Daddy?" Mu Xingchen couldn't help frowning when he heard Mu Yizheng's headless order.

"Damn Baye Gule actually coerced all the people of Taigu County to help them transport food, and now all the people in Taigu County have been escorted north by the five thousand cavalry he sent." Mu Yi was gritting his teeth and creaking.

"How many people did they escort from Taigu County?" Hearing this, An Siqi's eyes froze, and then his face was cold.

A murderous aura suddenly spread around him.

"All the men and women in the city, young and old, have been arrested by him!" Mu Yizheng said slowly.

"Dad, according to the tradition of the grassland, they should only catch young men and women, why don't they even let go of the old and the young this time?" Mu Xudong asked with a frown.

"This still needs to be asked, Baye Gule must want to use the lives of these old and young people to threaten the young men who have the ability to resist!" Nie Ji didn't expect that Baye Gule would use such a trick.

I already knew that although they did use these old and young to threaten the young and strong at the beginning, Taigu County was thousands of miles away from the grassland tribe.

And even if these captured people travel lightly, it is not a simple matter to go to the steppe tribe.

What's more, they have to carry bags of grain along the way. This kind of heavy travel of eating and sleeping in the open may not even be able to eat strong young people, let alone those old and weak?

"But bringing these old and weak will also greatly slow down the speed of Tanmen's advance, isn't he afraid that the Dayu army will catch up?" Mu Xingchen didn't understand what Baye Gule thought.

"Hmph, Xingchen, who do you think Dayu would dare to bear the responsibility of forcing tens of thousands of people to die?" Nie Ji said with a sneer.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Xingchen was immediately speechless.

"Brother Nie, do you mean that if we catch up, the people of Baye Gule will kill all these tens of thousands?" Mu Xudong said incredulously.

"Hmph, otherwise how do you think Baye Gule would dare to escort these people north with grain on their backs with such fanfare." Nie Ji said coldly.

"Baye Gule's intentions are too vicious!" Mu Xingchen also said indignantly at this time.

Although they were also members of the grassland tribe before, and Mu Yizheng had also gone south to fight the grass valley before, but in the end, they were all trying to survive.

Even though they had the experience of slaughtering the Dayu people, they had never taken all the people of a city captive.

"This is not the most vicious part of Baye Gule!" Mu Yizheng said slowly at this time. Several people were stunned at first, and then all of them frowned and listened carefully.

"Do you really think that Baye Gule will return to the grassland with these old, weak, sick and disabled? Don't forget that the White Plague of the Prairie is coming! ”

"Father, do you mean that Baye Gule will kill all the old, weak, sick and disabled among these people when they arrive on the grassland?" Mu Xingchen said an answer that even she couldn't believe.

"The grassland is a place where the weak eat the strong and the survival of the fittest, and when the white plague comes, the grassland tribe will even give up the old, weak, sick and disabled of their own clan, not to mention the slaves they captured!" Mu Yizheng's words directly sent chills down everyone's spine.

Relatively speaking, when Mu Yizheng surrendered to Emperor Shengwu with his subordinates, Mu Xingchen and Mu Xudong were still young.

In fact, they didn't have much impression of the affairs of the steppe tribe at all. Even when he was a little older, Nie Ji was only a half-old child.

"Father-in-law, since this is the case, I will take people to rescue these people from Taigu County!" An Siqi said a little impatiently at this time.

"You're right, Siqi, this time you have to save the people of Taigu County no matter what!" Mu Yizheng patted An Siqi on the shoulder and said.

An Siqi couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this. Seeing this, Mu Yizheng waved his hand and motioned for Mu Xingchen, Mu Xudong and Nie to send them away.

After the three of them left, Mu Yizheng spoke directly.

"Siqi, if you have anything to say, tell me directly, you and I are a family!"

"Father-in-law, are you so motivated to rescue the people of Taigu County?" An Siqi saw that Mu Yizheng had already made his words clear, so he directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"You're right!" Mu Yizheng didn't hide it, he said directly.

"Father-in-law, is this place in Taigu County in love?" Then An Siqi asked tentatively.

"It is worthy of being my Mu Yizheng's son-in-law, and he can see my intentions at a glance!" Mu Yizheng was also surprised that An Siqi could guess his intentions.

At the same time, he was also overjoyed. At this time, his heart was also more determined to have the idea that had been hidden for a long time.

"But my father-in-law, we are the beggar army of the Yue Kingdom, and our task is to balance the King of Yue, so even if we can take Taigu County, we can't be stationed here for a long time!" In An Siqi's mind, it is impossible for these grassland tribes to stay in the Dayu Dynasty for a long time.

Just as Nie Ji said just now, the white plague of the grassland is coming, so these grassland tribes will definitely return to the grassland with the looted materials before the white plague arrives.

And at that time, their beggar army will definitely be recalled by the imperial court to return to Yueguo. Therefore, trying to save the people of Taigu County now will only be useless in the end.

"Siqi, what you said is indeed good, if I had placed it in the past, I might not have cared so much about Taigu County, but now it is different!" Mu Yizheng looked at the county town of Taigu, which was surrounded by mountains in the distance.

"Father-in-law, do you mean that the situation in the Dayu Dynasty will change? Do we have a chance to stay in Taigu County? Ann Siqi's heart couldn't help but move when he heard this.

"Siqi, as a disciple of the Daomen, you may be able to see how the feng shui of this Taigu County is?" Mu Yizheng did not answer An Siqi's question, but instead asked a question that An Siqi had never thought of.

"Although my father-in-law has learned from ancient and modern times, I know astronomy and geography, but when my son-in-law was studying, my master said that I will become famous and handsome in the future, so what my son-in-law learns is focused on the way of using soldiers in battle formations." An Siqi said with some embarrassment.

"I see, no wonder I saw that your senior brother and junior brother have very different personalities, some are strong in martial arts, and some are powerless!" After An Siqi said this, Mu Yizheng immediately understood that An Siqi's master was teaching students according to their aptitude.

"However, according to the topography of Taigu County, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is a treasure land that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this Taigu County is also an important place for grain production, so this is really a perfect place for one side!" An Siqi actually knew his father-in-law's mind very well, but he was not disgusted by this.

On the contrary, he felt that it was wise for his father-in-law to have this kind of mind. After all, now that the Dayu Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, the building of Sheji is about to collapse.

The chaos in the world is a foregone conclusion, and now it is necessary to take precautions and occupy a place to save it from becoming a fish on other people's plates in the future.

"You're right, in fact, I've had someone look at the feng shui in Taigu County a long time ago!" Mu Yizheng said mysteriously.

"Oh?" An Siqi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"The person I was looking for at the beginning said that Taigu County is the land of Longxing!" When Mu Yizheng said the four words of Longxing Land, An Siqi completely understood his father-in-law's ambitions.

"In this case, I will definitely save the people of Taigu County!" Then An Siqi said with a serious face.

"Good!" When Mu Yizheng heard this, his originally hanging heart suddenly let go. He had been worried that Anskey would break with him after he knew about his ambitions.

After all, An Siqi is a Dayu person, and he is still a foreigner after all. Dayu people often say that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different.

But An Siqi's current attitude is telling him that even if he wants to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, An Siqi will stand by his side.

"Father-in-law, son-in-law, know that you are ambitious, and the son-in-law is also willing to saddle the horse for you, but the son-in-law only has one point, and please agree to the father-in-law!" An Siqi said and knelt down on one knee.

"Oh? Wonder, what do you want, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Mu Yizheng immediately said solemnly.

"The son-in-law begs his father-in-law that if he can become a great treasure in the future, he must be kind to the people of the world, do not destroy the culture of China, and do not list the people of Dayu under the grassland tribe!" Although An Siqi knelt on one knee, he stared straight at Mu Yizheng.

And Mu Yizheng was stunned for a moment after listening to An Siqi's request, and then laughed.

"Siqi, you're worrying too much!" Mu Yi was saying and helped An Siqi up.

"In fact, since I took refuge in Dayu, I have seen a lot of things that I have never seen before, and I have thought of a lot of truths that I have never thought of before, during this period, the people I know in Dayu have broadened my horizons and let me know that the reason why the grassland tribe can only live on the grassland for thousands of years is not because of insufficient strength." Mu Yizheng said seriously word by word.

"And the reason why the grassland tribes are really backward is entirely because of our backwardness in culture and customs, so if I can really dominate the world in the future, the first thing I have to do is to make all the grassland tribes sinicized." An Siqi couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that Mu Yizheng wanted to sinicize all the grassland tribes.

Tai Jizi once told him that if he wanted to change the dispute between the grassland tribes and the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years, the only way was to establish a unified country.

In addition, it is necessary to fully integrate the grassland tribes and the Chinese nation, so that they can form a concept of great unification, and this concept of great unification should be deeply implanted in the minds of every descendant.

Only in this way can the grassland tribe and the Dayu Dynasty be at peace forever. But An Siqi didn't expect Mu Yizheng to go further, he actually planned to make the grassland tribe completely part of the Chinese nation.

From now on, the two sides can resolve their disputes at their roots, regardless of each other.

"Father-in-law, righteousness!" An Siqi really admired Mu Yizheng from the bottom of his heart at this time. This is not only because of his eloquence, but also because he is able to look beyond the existing worldly framework.

"Okay, these are all things for the future, the most important thing for us now is to save the people of Taigu County, gain their trust, and then enter Taigu County."

"Father-in-law, rest assured, this matter will definitely not disappoint you." After An Siqi finished speaking, he immediately went to mobilize people and horses, and prepared to rescue the people of Taigu County.

"All the sons of Tielin are out." When An Siqi came to the beggar army, he immediately commanded loudly.

As his words fell, a third of the beggars' army immediately separated from the crowd.

And the remaining two-thirds of the beggar army all focused their eyes on An Siqi.

"Today is the first time I've led you since An Siqi became the commander of Tielindu, and I know that some people still have doubts about my ability, but it doesn't matter, today's battle is my chance to show you my ability, and it will also be the battle of our Tielindu." An Siqi shouted at the third of the beggar army.

Although there are only more than 1,200 people in this so-called iron forest, watching them stand upright gives people an invisible sense of oppression, An Siqi's heart is full of ambition.

Since he married Mu Xingchen, Mu Yizheng divided the beggar army under his command into three in order to facilitate command and also to test An Siqi's ability.

And these three points of beggar army were named: Ya'er Army, Tie Lindu and Congma Zhi. These three teams were handed over by him to Mu Xudong, An Siqi and Nie Ji respectively.

"General An, don't worry, our sons and daughters of Tielindu are all good men who are not afraid of death, if you have any battles, just tell us to do it." A middle-aged man standing at the front of Tie Lin Du immediately said loudly.

"That's right, we haven't been afraid of anyone in a war!" Another, slightly younger man followed.

"Okay, with your words, I have confidence in my heart." Seeing this, An Siqi couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, don't look at the two generals of Tielindu who are so cooperative now, in fact, when An Siqi accepted Tielindu at the beginning, most of the soldiers of Tielindu didn't think very highly of this young Dayu man.

In their opinion, the reason why An Siqi became the commander of Tielindu was that he relied on his identity as Mu Yizheng's son-in-law.

Therefore, they took the initiative to provoke An Siqi at the beginning. But later, An Siqi directly used the simplest and most direct way to make them completely surrender.

And the convenience he uses is to do it directly. After An Siqi single-handedly challenged more than a dozen of Tielindu's masters, all the soldiers of Tielindu were completely conquered.

As a grassland tribe, they believe in the law of the jungle, and they have an almost persistent mentality in their bones.

And An Siqi understands this characteristic of theirs and chooses to conquer them with strength. However, although the soldiers of Tielindu all expressed their submission to An Siqi, the Raven Army and the soldiers from Mazhi still had a trace of disdain for An Siqi.

In particular, Congma Zhi, who was in charge of Nie Ji, regarded An Siqi as an enemy.

"Good! In that case, let's go at once! So saying, he turned on his horse and took the 1,200 men of Tielindu and headed north.
