Chapter 296: The Great Change in Sichuan--- Yang Zhan was killed

Everyone talked about it, and everyone offered suggestions, just when Yang Lin felt that there was a drama to defeat the Qing army, an accident disrupted the rhythm of Yang Lin's attack.

On this day, everyone was discussing how to break through the Qing army in front of them, and when a horse saw a fast horse running into the army, Zhang Hong took the letter box and checked the roasting seal on it, then tore it open and handed it to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin looked at it, his eyes were about to split, one hand was holding his chest tightly, and he suddenly stomped his foot and scolded: "The puppet is so frustrated, Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu.....

Yin Chengqi was shocked, took the letterhead and looked at it, one was written by Yang Jingxin to Yang Lin, and he said in tears that his father Yang Zhan was killed by Yuan Tao and Wu Dading.

Now that Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others have seized Yunnan Mansion, Yang Jingxin led his troops to retreat to Wuding Mansion and the Four (Sichuan) Xingdu Division.

The other is a letter written by Zhao Sixuan, the political envoy of Sichuan, after the rebellion of Yuan Tao and Wu Dading, the central Sichuan was shaken, and Li Gande controlled the various departments in Yunnan in the name of the governor of Yunnan

Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai in eastern Sichuan, with the support of Zhu Rongfan, the king of Chu, demanded that Yang Wei withdraw from the capital city of Chong (Qing).

A few words also let people know the mystery, and everyone was dumbfounded and scolded one by one.

After a long time, Yang Lin regained his composure, and said with a sad face: "Everyone, in order to fight against the Tartars, I have tried our best to protect General Yang Zhan's position in the fourth (Sichuan) line of capital to enter Yunnan that day, mainly because Yang Zongbing is sincerely thinking about our people, and during his town guarding Jiading Mansion, he lent grain to everyone and encouraged everyone to cultivate.

I played General Yang as the governor of Yunnan, the purpose of which is to ensure our rear, and everyone also knows why Zhuge Liang was able to go on the Northern Expedition with peace of mind, because the southern Xinjiang is stable, if the southern Xinjiang is unstable, the nest may be captured by others.

At that time, I said that General Yang was in Yunnan, and Yang Wei's 2nd Association was stationed in Chong (Qing), Shunqing on the first line, Ma Mingluan's 9th Association was stationed in CD) Mansion and Mianzhou on the first line, so that the rear was worry-free, and I could also concentrate on the Northern Expedition.

Everyone, now that the rear is unstable, what should we do?

When everyone heard this, some shouted to kill back, while others claimed that the two armies were facing each other along the Han River, and if they were not careful, they would lose their efforts.

Qian Bangxin panicked and admonished: "My lord, what I admire most about the generals in Sichuan is you two General Yang, in this troubled era, only General Yang Zhan is still patriotic and loves the people, and I can't imagine that he ..... today."

My lord, but now that we are facing off with the Tartars on both sides of the Han River, we must not let this cause chaos. ”

When everyone saw Qian Bangqi say this, they knelt down one after another, hoping to focus on the overall situation, and it would not be too late to return to the division after the Tartars retreated.

Yang Lin thought about it, stood up and walked back and forth, suddenly stopped, and said word by word: "As the saying goes, Father Qing is not dead, and those things that bring disaster to the country and the people will not only harm the township, but also a disaster in the future."

In the past, we thought that everyone had a heart of loyalty, and we only knew that we had one mind on the Northern Expedition, and we hoped that those things that brought disaster to the country and the people would not stop our Northern Expedition.

Now I can see clearly, Yue Wumu's failure is mainly because he is too homesick. ”

Yin Chengqi arched his hand and said: "My lord, you are the backbone of my 100,000 army, and now that the rear has suffered this catastrophe, what should you do?" ”

Yang Lin thought about it for a long time, thinking that he still couldn't be too homesick, let alone compromise with the other party, but now that the war in Hanzhong has entered the most critical stage, since there can't be a showdown, how to counteract?

Carefully calculating the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, slowly, Yang Lin had an idea in his heart.

Cao Xun, Zhao Ronggui and Yang Zhan cherished each other in the past, but now when they hear that Yang Zhan was killed, they will never sit idly by.

At this moment, when the forces of Cao Xun and Zhao Ronggui are united, even if they cannot eradicate the forces of Yuan Tao and Wu Dading in Sichuan, they can also ensure the stability of the rear.

As long as the rear is stable for a few months, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in front of him, and then return to the middle of the division with a victorious army, and he will definitely be able to completely quell the rebellion of Li Gande, Yuan Taowu, and Dading.

Returning to Zazhong, in the name of the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, he asked the four (Sichuan) capitals to command the same knowledge Yin Chengqi to return to Sichuan, and sit in the city of the city to stabilize the situation in Sichuan.

Cao Xun was officially appointed as the commander of the four (Sichuan) capitals, Zhao Ronggui was the commander of the capital, and Yang Jingxin was the commander-in-chief, and the two were ordered to lead the troops to garrison southern Sichuan to stabilize the situation in Yunnan.

Yazhou was promoted to Zhili Prefecture, and Liu Daozhen was appointed as the governor of Yazhou.

Considering the limited strength of Kawanaka, the 3rd Association of Dragon Frames, which was resting in Bazhou, urgently returned to the CD to ensure the safety of the CD.

The soldiers are fast, on the day of receiving the order, Yin Chengqi rode a horse and hurried on the road with a team of guards, passing through Bazhou on this day, and the 13th standard (regiment) staff general Liu Jinfu who rested in the rear greeted him.

After hearing the news of Yang Zhan's murder, Liu Jinfu was greatly annoyed, and immediately gathered men and horses, quickly returned to the division, and also strengthened the defense of western Sichuan.

Yin Chengqi led the troops first, and by the end of November, Yin Chengqi returned to the CD), the left-behind political envoy Zhao Sixuan, the prefect of the CD Prefecture Wang Guangxian, Xuezheng Xu Kongtu, the deputy general of the 9th Association Ma Mingluan and others were anxious, and now the volunteers in Sichuan were outnumbered, and everyone felt that it was difficult to deal with them.

Yin Chengqi convened everyone to discuss the matter and slowly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that at the same time that Yang Lin was protecting Yang Zhan as the governor of Yunnan to the imperial court, Li Gande was also planning the post of governor of Yunnan.

On the one hand, Li Gande sought a letter from Fan Yixuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and sent an envoy to the emperor to ask for a holy decree, and on the other hand, he sent people to secretly contact Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai and others, who were at odds with Yang Lin, and Wang Xiang and others, who were at odds with Yang Zhan, to seek support.

But at that time, Yang Lin was stationed in Sichuan, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and although Li Gande received various Austrian aids, he still did not dare to do it.

Who would have expected that Yang Lin was eager to win, and after seeing that the Ming army captured Yunnan Mansion, he thought that the situation in southern Xinjiang had stabilized, and actually led the volunteer army into Hanzhong, which made Li Gande feel that the opportunity was rare.

Although the volunteers were defeated in Sichuan Tartar last time, they mainly relied on the advantages of the terrain and mainly relied on sneak attacks, and Li Gande did not believe that good luck would always be on Yang Lin's side.

Li Gande thought that in the name of Yang Zhan's birthday, Yuan Tao and Wu Dading came forward, and he wanted to invite Yang Zhan to Qujing Mansion to meet no matter what.

Last month, because of the lack of soldiers and food, Yang Zhan helped the two, and now seeing that the two came to ask, there was no doubt that he had him, and he came to Qujing Mansion City with two guards.

After a full meal of wine and food, Yang Zhan drank too much and was resting, who would have expected that Yuan Tao and Wu Dading would suddenly make a move, and let people kill the hundreds of guards brought by Yang Zhan, and even cut off Yang Zhan's head.

Li Gande dared to kill the general so blatantly, in addition to wanting to seize the governor of Yunnan, it was really because of the support of the fake Chu king Zhu Rongfan.

A few months ago, Zhu Rongfan, the prince of Chu, arrived in Wanzhou, took out the imperial court seal and was respected, and was known as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, in a vain attempt to divide one side like Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms.

When Yang Lin was in Sichuan Province that day, Zhu Rongfan also sent a messenger to announce the decree, asking him to obey his dispatch and was rejected.

Zhu Rongfan held a grudge and hooked up with Li Gande, who was also disgruntled, and decided to take advantage of the chaos.

Yang Lin led his troops to kill Yang Zhan when the rear of the Northern Expedition was empty, in an attempt to occupy Sichuan Province.

After killing Yang Zhan, Yuan Taowu led his troops to attack the city of Kunming.

Although Yang Jingxin rose up to resist, his subordinates had just occupied Kunming City for less than two months, and his foundation in Kunming was relatively thin, so there was no way, Yang Jingxin now led 3,000 elites to retreat to Sichuan Xingdu Division to hold on and wait for help.

When Yuan Taowu Dading was in attack in Yunnan, his old troops in Sichuan Province also took advantage of the situation to attack, they kidnapped Zhao Ronggui, who was friendly with Yang Zhan, and led his troops to approach Jiading Prefecture.

At the same time, Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai also sent a note in the name of Zhu Rongfan, asking Yang Wei to withdraw from Chongqing City.

Wang Guangxian sighed and said: "Hey, Ruzhen is still too merciful, I think Li Gande has opposed him many times in the past, like Yuan Tao and Wu Dading have grudged with him many times in the past, Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai openly disobeyed orders, Ruzhen ignored the past suspicions, and swore an oath with them to crusade against Yunnan."

Let's see, how is it now? ”

Zhao Sixuan, the political envoy, took over the conversation and said: "My lord treats Li Gande, Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others with a benevolent heart, and this time they actually did such a thing that is inferior to beasts, and they will not last long." ”

Wang Guangxian smiled: "Yes, I forgot all this, and thought that the adult was a weak scholar in the past, and a classmate who only read the books of sages."

Yin Tongzhi, what does Ruzhen mean this time? ”

Yin Chengqi said with a smile: "My lord thinks that the plan for today is to consolidate our rear first, and wait for the future to free up my hands to make plans." ”

Wang Guangxian shook his head and said: "This, this, Ru Zhenshu is angry and committed it again, Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others did such a thing as a beast and turned a blind eye."

And that Zhu Rongfan claimed to be a prisoner of the country, the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, and let Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai and others force us to withdraw from the army, which is really hateful and annoying. ”

Yin Chengqi arched his hand and said: "On that day, the Great Western Army was advancing, and the King of Shu wanted to supervise the country but couldn't, and finally the two sides lost peace and let Liukou enter the CD).

Even the dignified King of Shu can't supervise the country, and the others call themselves what kind of prison country, probably take the opportunity to make trouble in the name of the emperor. Why don't you turn a blind eye to this kind of rebel and don't ask for it?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and one by one understood, and some simply said that this Zhu Rongfan was a chaotic minister and thief, and he was swaggering and deceiving here.

Talking about how to assess the rebellion of Li Gande and Yuan Taowu Dading, Yin Chengqi analyzed to everyone: "Yang Zhan and Yang Du commanded Wu Tanhua to be born in a chivalrous manner, and now he has just been killed, everyone does not dare to send troops to fight, probably afraid of the power of the traitor army.

As long as we send troops to fight, I expect that Cao Xun and others will not sit idly by, and will definitely rise up to help. ”

The strategy was immediately agreed, and that night Yin Chengqi took two guards to disguise himself as a businessman, left the city and went straight to Yazhou in the west
