On the side of the volunteers, the morale of the whole army was high, and after successive defeats of the Qing army, they were now confronting the Tartars under the city of Lizhou with less than 30,000 people.

Of course, Yang Lin knew that the Volunteer Army was weak, although he strategically made a move to attack the city of Lizhou, he actually garrisoned ten miles south of the city, confronted the Tartars, and sent troops and horses to harass the Qing army from time to time and attack the Green Battalion.

After winning consecutive battles, the generals under him were all angry, and everyone was eager to fight the Tartars immediately, while Yang Lin was waiting for the opportunity to defeat the Tartars.

Since the shaving order, many Han people in the world have risen up against the tyranny of the Tartars, and their rule was originally unstable.

In the past year, Haoge has made rash advances, ignoring the fact that the revolt of the Ming army in Shaanxi has just subsided, and despite the fact that the Hanzhong He Zhen and Sun Shoufa departments have been defeated but may resurrect at any time, they have entered Sichuan in a big way.

The Manchu dynasty is no more than the Manchurian Eight Banners (equivalent to eight divisions), if you add the closest Mongolian Horqin Department and other Mongolian soldiers and horses, the Han Army's Eight Banners, its men and horses are only 150,000 or 60,000.

In recent years, Manchuria has been invincible in attacking cities and villages, mainly because of the internal turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, mainly because of the military prestige of the Manchurian Eight Banners in the previous decades, plus hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers and horses who took refuge.

Since the Wanli period, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been invincible in the field, and now the news of the collapse of Shunqing City has brought not only military problems, but more importantly, the hope of reviving the Han family.

Yang Lin led his troops to attack, hoping that there would be major changes in the Qing army in Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and that he hoped to take this opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Qing army. In Sichuan, although the Great Western Army entered Yunnan and Guizhou, in addition to the potential hidden dangers that may be brought in the future, the Volunteers have already controlled all of Shunqing Prefecture and Tongchuan Prefecture, most of Baoning Prefecture, and one part of Chongqing Prefecture and Kuizhou Prefecture.

In addition, there are also generals from all walks of life in the Southern Ming Dynasty of Sichuan, although everyone was defeated by the Tartars, and now although only Yang Zhan went north all the way to fight the Qing Dynasty, the other roads may put aside their prejudices and go north together.

On the other hand, the main force of the Qing army led by Haoge and Luo Luohun has entered Sichuan, and is now entrenched around Lizhou, although its strength exceeds 50,000 people, but with the volunteers

During this period, Yang Lin was of course not idle, and sent scouts to spread all kinds of short news, such as He Zhen and Sun Shoufa leading their troops into Hanzhong to block the return of the Tartars.

Liao Qifang led an army of 20,000 to attack Hanzhong along the Micang Road and cut off the Tartars' retreat.

For example, the people of northern Shaanxi revolted again against the tyrannical rule of the Tartars.

In the middle of the first month, news came from Hanzhong that Liao Qifang and Liu Jinfu led the volunteers to march from Micang Road, control the big millet Cangshan, and coerce Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong.

Under its influence, He Zhen, the former general of Dashun stationed in Hanzhong, who rose up against the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of last year, was defeated and retreated to Wulang Mountain in Xing'an Prefecture (today's Ankang City).

In the second half of the first month, Long Zhijiao went up the Fujiang River, and Ma Mingluan's round, with the cooperation of Yang Zhan's Ming army, defeated Zhang Desheng's green battalion soldiers and horses, and occupied Mianzhou in one fell swoop.

Everyone asked for battle, but Yang Lin knew that these were just to boost morale, and the real effect was actually very limited, if he wanted to have an absolute impact on the battlefield, he could only wait for the Ming army in Sichuan to enter Lizhou, or the Tatars to withdraw their troops.

Yang Lin was struggling to find a turning point in the war, and Yang Zhan, who was leading his troops to attack the Sword Pavilion, was also actively looking for a turning point.

Hao Ge personally led the main force to behead Zhang Xianzhong, defeated the 100,000 Western Army, and finally defeated Shunqing Mansion, was pursued all the way to thousands of miles, and retreated to Lizhou.

Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County, and Beile Mandahai led a partial division down the Golden Bull Road, first defeating Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, in Mianzhou, and then successively breaking through Yang Zhan and Cao Xun's partial divisions, and once advanced to the CD city.

Who expected the earth-shattering reversal, from the direction of Shunqing Mansion came the news of the defeat of the Tartars by the volunteers, slightly stabilized the morale of the army, and then came that Haoge retreated all the way north, and the Luo Luohun people who originally played a triumphant song actually stopped abruptly, leaving the general soldier Zhang Desheng to lead a small number of green battalion soldiers and horses to occupy Yaojin, and personally led the army all the way north.

Everyone was skeptical at first, but after seeing that the Volunteers took the initiative to attack, and the CD commander Ma Mingluan led his troops to capture Guanghan Prefecture, everyone woke up from a dream, and the rumors turned out to be true and credible.

The other troops did not move forward, and the Ming Dynasty military detective Hua Yang Zhan's courage was far from being comparable to others, and in the next month, together with the volunteers, he successively recovered the Mianzhou Prefectures, and his vanguard advanced to the Sword Pavilion Pass.

While marching towards the Sword Pavilion, Yang Zhan sent his eldest son Yang Jingxin to Pingwu County to persuade Zhao Ronggui, the general of the Qing Army's Green Battalion, who had just captured Mao County, hoping that he would lead his troops to fight anyway.

Those who are familiar with this book know that when Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, surrounded and suppressed the buns, the general Zhao Ronggui appeared many times.

When blocking the Great Western Army from entering Sichuan, Zhao Ronggui and General Zeng Ying led their troops to block many times, but they were successively defeated by Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang, and finally retreated to Long'an Mansion.

At the peak of the Great Western Army, Zhao Ronggui led his troops to submit to the Great Western Army, and when the Tartars entered Sichuan, Zhao Ronggui and Liu Jinzhong returned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Now that the defeat of the Tartars has begun to appear, Yang Zhan ordered his eldest son Yang Jingxin to carry a letter from Fan Yixin, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, hoping that Zhao Ronggui can change his evil and return to righteousness.

Why is Yang Zhan so confident, in addition to working with Zhao Ronggui for a long time in the past, everyone sympathizes with each other, but also because of the letter of Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

When Fan Yixin was Shaanxi Dao, Zhao Ronggui was a general (pro-general) for his subordinates, and with this relationship, Yang Zhan was of course full of confidence and sent his eldest son Yang Jingxin to go.

Zhao Ronggui said with a melancholy face: "Virtuous nephew, love has to be a last resort, forced by Liu Jinzhong, the old man has to return to the Tartars."

I thought that the Tartars would be able to treat my Sichuan people well, but in the past few months, the Tartars have burned and killed and taken prisoners, and they have done all kinds of evil, and now they have already been angry and resentful, and they have raised troops to return to obedience, there is no problem, and I am really depressed Yang Lin. ”

Yang Jingxin was puzzled, shook his head and said: "Uncle Shi, the little nephew is a little bit unclear, Governor Yang Lin Yang claims to be the protégé of Governor Chen Shiqi of Sichuan, and Uncle Shi also used to serve under Governor Chen Shiqi, it stands to reason that you don't have any festivals, why is Uncle Yang worried about Brother Yang Lin and Yang?" ”

Zhao Ronggui pointed to the thief-eyed general under the tent and said: "Senior nephew, of course the old man and Yang Lin have no festivals, but Yuan Tao and Yuan brothers have a deep enmity with Yang Lin." ”

Yuan Tao was the leader of the local rebels in the past, but he was originally entrenched in northern Sichuan with Yao Tiandong, Huang Long and others, and was exterminated by Yang Lin, and now he is subordinate to Zhao Ronggui.

After thinking about it, Yang Jingxin smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, last year, my little nephew got along with Governor Yang Lin and Yang for half a month, and I was also impressed by his abundance at that time, and the two sides took it as a good friend.

The little nephew promised that as long as everyone sincerely fought against the Tartars, Yang Lin would never embarrass everyone. ”

Zhao Ronggui was shocked, looked at Yang Jingxin and said, "Senior nephew, for the sake of safety, it is better for Ling Zun to come forward." The old man heard that this Yang Lin had a lot of respect for General Yang, and when he was chasing after the Tartars last year, Yang Lin liked to play with power so much that he didn't dare to make his own decisions, and General Yang came forward to dispatch the whole army. ”

When Yang Jingxin heard this, he smiled, shook his head and said, "Uncle Shi, you relax, no matter what, Yang Lin will also sell the face of his little nephew." ”

Seeing that Yang Jingxin said categorically, Zhao Ronggui was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to change its flag and raise troops to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

The army set out from Pingwu County and approached Lizhou.
