Chapter 11 Northbound
Ye Xiaotian is on the battle!
The local soldiers from Woniuling village, plus the mountain gangster Ding Yong who was temporarily recruited from Dawan Mountain, had a total of 8,000 troops. This was considered to be Ye Xiaotian's direct descendants. The four families of Zhan family, Shiqian Yang family, Guoji family, and Tongren Yu family sent a total of 5,000 troops.
In addition, other chieftains from the eight prefectures and prefectures were ordered to send people to Woniuling to take their own money, grain and supplies. The number of people sent by these chieftains was not waiting, with the largest number of 800 people and the lowest number was only a few dozen people.
Some of this is because the chieftain is really small, and its territory is at most equivalent to two or three towns. The total number of local soldiers can be mobilized is only one or two hundred. They cannot leave people to protect the base camp like Ye Xiaotian. In addition, some chieftains are slanderous and perfunctory.
For such a chieftain, Judge Li naturally took a account. Judge Li was Li Dazhe. After Ye Xiaotian became a chieftain, he was qualified to appoint officials himself. However, since the Chief Secretary himself was not a very large local official, he could be appointed... he had even fewer local officials.
This time, because Ye Xiaotian wrote to the emperor to express his loyalty at the most critical moment, Emperor Wanli generously replaced his chief seal with a commander who was two inches larger in diameter. The civil and military officials under Ye Xiaotian naturally rose to a higher level, and Li Dazhang also had an official position, and he was promoted to the seventh-rank judge in one step.
Judge Li wrote down these people not only to settle accounts after the autumn, but also to list these chieftains as the key "takeholders". He made another book and presented it to Tian Miaowen, the wife of Zhangyin. Tian Miaowen took this list and naturally would "treat these chieftains differently."
When they were in charge of money and grain and replenishing troops, they would do another way to deal with these chieftains. Although they were not sent many people, they would not want to throw these people on the battlefield as cannon fodder. This is their weakness. Mrs. Zhangyin will naturally knock on the bones and suck marrow. Using the war to gradually drag them down "Ye Xiaotian's quagmire!"
At that time, no matter whether they want to or not, they will never get off the chariot of Ye Xiaotian and will only become his vassal. In the end, Ye Xiaotian led 18,000 troops to embark on the journey in a mighty manner. On this trip, he only brought one woman: Tian Xifeng.
He didn't need to declare the reason for taking her with him, but it was a problem to have a beautiful woman swaying around in the central army's tent, so Tian Xifeng also changed into the soldiers' clothes and walked in the central army's tent. She seemed to be Ye Xiaotian's clerk.
Ye Xiaotian did not shackle her because the soldiers inside and outside the central army tent were all chieftain soldiers trained by Hua Yunfei. Ye Xiaotian had already ordered them to guard against Tian Xifeng. Even if Tian Xifeng had wings on her ribs, she would not be able to fly out of Ye Xiaotian's central army.
Ye Xiaotian didn't have to worry that Tian Xifeng wanted to hurt him. With Tian Xifeng's smart woman, she knew she would not do anything that could not be done, so she gave her freedom within a certain range. It was not harmful.
Regarding the lies that Tian Xifeng once said in order to protect herself, Ye Xiaotian did not follow his wife to explain every day. Some things were explained, but it was better not to explain them. Tian Miaowen, Zhan Ning'er and others were always half-believing and half-doubting about their relationship.
In fact, the half of the doubt may not be targeted at Ye Xiaotian. It is aimed at the group of men. "The world is like a crow," and "who doesn't eat fishy food" are women's views on men. Ye Xiaotian is also a man. Naturally, they think that the possibility of Tian Xifeng's words increased greatly.
However, Ye Xiaotian brought Tian Xifeng to the ground, but they believed that it was not because they were greedy for women. First of all, they were very smart because Ye Xiaotian. He should know the dangers of this trip and would definitely not be lazy at women at this time. On the other hand, it was based on the irrefutable truth that the world was like a crow, which cat would not eat fishy food:
Tian Xifeng is all in his pocket. Is it necessary to be reluctant to leave and take care of all troops to fight? This is not in line with the man's behavior, so they believed Ye Xiaotian's words: Taking Tian Xifeng with him can help him make a more accurate judgment of Yang Yinglong.
Among these judgments, Ye Xiaotian was also drunk.

The entire battle situation began to change. After being caught off guard, the court gradually reacted, and some incompetent generals and mediocre officials were also replaced. Yang Yinglong also developed a fear in the face of the gathering of more than 200,000 Ming troops. The territory he occupied at this time was equivalent to double the territory of Bozhou, and he lost his ambition and determination to defend the existing territory, proclaim himself emperor, and change his position with the offensive and defensive momentum.
Li Hualong was ordered to return to Sichuan again to control military affairs in Sichuan, Lake and Guizhou, and transferred famous generals Liu Ting, Dong Yiyuan and others to the east to fight for North Korea. At the same time, he continued to transfer more soldiers from Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces to help.
At this time, Wan Yang, the general who had originally You Ge, who was dealing with Bobai, also moved to Chongqing to preside over the military affairs. Ye Xiaotian led a large army of 18,000 people, and went all the way to train to integrate the three armies. He went north along Shiqian, Sinan, and Dejiang, entered Sichuan, and rushed to Chongqing to gather.
The previous one, Ye Xiaotian publicly entered Sichuan, which was to serve as a witness for Yang Yinglong; the second time he secretly entered Sichuan, which was to help Yang Yinglong bring his lover Mrs. Qin and his illegitimate son Ma Qiansi back to Bozhou. This time, he publicly entered Sichuan with great fanfare, but rushed to Chongqing Prefecture to participate in the siege of Yang Yinglong.
Ye Xiaotian did not go to Guizhou Prefecture, on the one hand, because there were too many local officials in Guizhou with high autonomy. Although Ye Mengxiong was able to do so, the main role he could play was to stabilize the chieftains of Guizhou and not follow the chaos. The troops he could use were far less than those in Sichuan. Ye Mengxiong's main function was to stabilize local cooperation.
On the other hand, because he went to Guiyang, he had to go west, cross Shiqian Mansion, cross the river to Guiyang. When leaving Shiqian, he was easily attacked by Bozhou. The Shiqian Tong family guarded this line. It was difficult for the Tong family to protect themselves. Once Yuxi wanted their support, it was impossible.
In that case, Ye Xiaotian's army of nearly 20,000 was defeated and sank to the sand. It might be very likely that it would be destroyed by the Wujiang River. Therefore, Ye Xiaotian chose to go north and directly enter Sichuan from the two prefectures and eight prefectures of the Harada clan territory, gathered under Li Hualong, and then rushed south to fight together.
The two states and eight prefectures were the old land of the Tian family. Now Ye Xiaotian has both personal prestige and status given by the court. There is also a Tian family girl who is the wife of the Zhangyin. There is no need to worry about someone in the eight prefectures and eight prefectures in the two states and eight prefectures, so this is the safest route.
After going on and on, Ye Xiaotian finally arrived in Chongqing on this day. Governor Li and General Wan vowed to go to the expedition meeting, just three days later.
