But Yang Xuan seemed to have been prepared, and immediately sent four regiments, including Fan Mingshan's 1st Regiment, Liu Weiming's 6th Regiment, Yang Fuquan's 8th Regiment, and Wang Shuji's 9th Regiment, to the front line to launch a counterattack against the Liukou who had penetrated deep into his territory.

Although there were gains during the period, they were often ambushed by the officers and soldiers, and each ambush was seriously damaged, and they had the intention to send more soldiers and horses, but it was like mud into the sea, and the loyal and righteous troops of various numbers continued to appear on the battlefield, which made people dizzy.

In addition, the tactics of the Loyal and Righteous Army emerged in an endless stream, with large corps ambushes, and even sent strong people to hide in the cottages.

After more than 10 days of looting grain, the Great Western Army lost a total of 5,000 or 6,000 men and horses, not only did it fail to achieve the strategic goal of luring the main force of the loyal and righteous army out of the city for field battles, but also lost troops and lost generals, and everyone sighed, and the morale of the whole army was even more low.

Zhang Xianzhong was even more annoyed, now there are rumors in various places bordering on the border, everyone is extremely hostile to the Great Western Army, and all the scouts sent by him have gone and never returned, and in the end, even those who pretend to be monks and Taoists are not spared.

In order to change this passive situation, Zhang Xianzhong no longer made such a small fight, in early November of this year, he led his troops to kill Shunqing City, and captured the cottage Phoenix Mountain more than 60 miles north of Shunqing City on this day, and then pressed his pro-army tent here to further attack Shunqing City.

Yang Xuan is still quite familiar with Phoenix Mountain, in the history books, Zhang Xianzhong seems to have died in battle, and he didn't think that the other party was dying step by step without knowing it.

Because Zhang Xianzhong seems to have been shot here by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, he has also paid special attention to the place of Phoenix Mountain since entering the city of Shunqing Prefecture.

Phoenix Mountain is next to the Jinpu post station between Xichong and Nanchong, winding for dozens of miles, shaped like a phoenix, there are stone gates built on the east, south and west sides of the mountain, the surrounding cliffs are precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The most rare thing is that the top of the mountain is flat land, in the past, hundreds of families lived on the mountain, in order to prevent thieves from attacking, the villagers built stone gates on the southeast and west sides of the mountain.

The Jinpu Station below the foot of Phoenix Mountain is a big post station from Xichong to Shunqing, and it is a relatively prosperous bazaar. Now seeing that the Great Western Army sent soldiers and horses from all walks of life to loot grain, the township office moved to Phoenix Mountain ten days ago, and the front-line general Liu Weiming also sent a squadron of soldiers to help defend.

But the Great Western Army was menacing, the governor Guan Youcai was ordered to lead his troops to attack the cottage, and Zhang Kewang, the general of Zhengdong, led his troops to block the reinforcements, so they fought for a day and a night, the mountain gate was broken, and the fathers and villagers on the mountain had to burn food and flee to other places.

Seeing the menacing Great Western Army, and seeing Zhang Xianzhong once again showing his hideous veil, by the beginning of November of this year, Yang Xuan took the lead in asking for an armistice.

As a traverser, of course, he knew that the destruction of the Great Western Army was imminent, and now that he saw the Great Western Army moving towards death step by step, of course, he did not have the idea of accompanying him to be buried together, but wanted to temporarily stabilize the other party.

After thinking about it, Yang Xuan decided to put down his subordinates first, stabilize the other party first, and temporarily fornicate with the other party.

At this time, stationed in Phoenix Mountain, seeing that the traffic artery from Xichong to Nanchong was at the foot, seeing that the terrain of Phoenix Mountain was so dangerous, and that troops could be stationed on the mountain, seeing all this, Zhang Xianzhong recovered his past pride.

Due to the reputation of plundering people's food, the people along the way to the north either fled from the famine or hid far away, catching one or two small people at a time, but everyone regarded food as more important than life, and the food looted every day was not enough for more than 100 loads.

Since the beginning of November, the amount of grain plundered has been even smaller, and it has been less than 50 quintals in the past few days.

After the retreat from Chengdu to the north, there were many casualties and many escapes, and now the Great Western Army has been sharply reduced from 200,000 soldiers and civilians to 150,000.

Although it has been replenished all the way and eaten frugally, the grain looted from Chengdu City is only 300,000 quintals now, and it will not be able to eat at the beginning of spring next year.

In order to solve the food shortage, Wang Zhaolin began to clamor for the killing of those Sichuan people who ate grain, and the withdrawal from Chengdu needed people to transport grain and baggage, and these people were still of little use.

Now the Great Western Army is not ready to leave, and is preparing to attack the city of Shunqing in the south, these people not only have to consume food, but most of them are devoted to the Ming Dynasty, and it is still a scourge to stay all day long.

In addition, what is more melancholy is the Manchu Qing, after the occupation of Hanzhong, the Manchu Qing industry has entered Sichuan, and it is rumored that its vanguard is after all Guangyuan Baizhang Pass, if the Manchu Qing enters the pass, it will take the lead in attacking the Daxi military camp in the camping field.

After initially trying to conceal the people, blocking the enemy's attack through cottage defense tactics, or reviewing the enemy's all-people war of attacking and harassing the enemy behind the enemy, Yang Xuan deliberately suppressed the conflict between the two armies.

At this time, the small leader came to report that Yang Xuan sent a messenger and now he was in the big tent, Zhang Xianzhong's spirit was greatly lifted, and the big tent was raised, and hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides.

The person who came was Zhang Hong, who met with each other a few times, but before the other party could speak, Zhang Xianzhong became inexplicably angry and scolded: "You Zhang Hong, last time I persuaded me to give up Chengdu, I followed your advice and gave up Chengdu."

You guys are okay, chasing and killing all the way, killing thousands of my brothers, and robbing me of my money and food, is it unbearable?

You shameless person has no conscience, come here, cut off this Zhang Hong's ear, and you have relieved the hatred in your heart. ”

Zhang Hong was shocked, hurriedly protected his ears, and shouted: "The general is angry, the general is angry, it's not too late for you to cut off my ears after I finish speaking."

General, you didn't listen to the admonition you had been a child that day, and led 200,000 troops out of the city to fight hard with my general.

General, if you quit Chengdu, you will quit Chengdu, who would have thought that you would set a fire and burn down a huge Chengdu city.

General, you violated the contract first, so it's no wonder that my family is angry and led his troops to attack you, thinking that the brothers in Chengdu City breathed a sigh of relief. ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed, looked at Zhang Hong and said: "Zhang Hong, you are flamboyant, others believe you, my old Zhang will believe you?"

If it weren't for my Lao Zhang setting a big fire, Yang Xuan would definitely pursue the old man with all his might, and even if my Great Western Army was not destroyed like this, it would have suffered heavy casualties. ”

Because the guards pinched too tightly, Zhang Hong struggled several times without breaking free, and made a more comfortable move, and persuaded bitterly: "General, you and I are right and wrong, that is, we can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights."

General, if you think about it, you don't have any fault in Chengdu, is it completely the fault of my family? ”

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes glared at Zhang Hong, and suddenly laughed and said: "What's wrong with my old Zhang, even if my old Zhang is wrong, but my old Zhang is the emperor, and it was the heavens who sent the lower realm to sweep away those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, let's talk about it, will my old Zhang be wrong?" It's obviously Yang Xuan's mistake, how can you say that I'm Lao Zhang? ”

As soon as the generals heard Zhang Xianzhong say this, they came out one after another to hug their fists and say yes, and for a while, the sound of the whole big tent was non-stop.

Hearing this, Zhang Hong suddenly laughed, and in the amazement of everyone, Zhang Hong smiled and said: General Zhang is the great god in charge of human affairs under the stars in the sky, isn't my family?

My family is on the horse to govern the army, invincible, dismount to govern the people, the people live and work in peace and contentment, although there is no big rule, but in Sichuan can be regarded as a small rule. The general is the stars in the sky and descends to earth, and people everywhere say that my family is the reincarnation of Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, and when he comes to the people, he wants the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and he wants to clean up the tartars.

General Zhang, do you say yes or no? ”

Just like many netizens often say, the best way to deal with **** is to raise it into a big ****, Zhang Xianzhong is arrogant and treacherous, and often boasts that he is a star in the sky, naturally, the best way is to admit this publicly.

Zhang Xianzhong's mouth was slightly open, almost speechless, in order to control the hearts of the people and the army, he often claimed that he was the lower realm of the stars in the sky to purge the lower realm, this practice was often tried and tested, and he didn't expect that today Zhang Hong would publicly say that Yang Xuan was the reincarnation of Yue Pengju, which made him at a loss.

Since entering Shunqing, Yang Xuan has been asking the loyal army to take the Yue family as an example to expel the Tartars and restore China, so the folk began to say that Yang Xuan was the reincarnation of Yue Pengju.

In the past two years, the loyal and righteous army has won successive battles, so the theory of Yue Pengju's reincarnation is even more noisy, and many people around him are blindly worshipping
