It was a three-day journey from Xi'an to Yan'an, and after Amur sent the messenger, he was also afraid that he would miss the major event of the Mengming coalition army attacking the Qing army, so he commanded the Chahar cavalry to exert pressure on Yan'an, and at the same time ordered the scouts to go south to inquire about the news, and if the Ming army went north, he would immediately lead the cavalry south to help.

But the bitter messenger carefully avoided the Qing scouts along the way, returned to Xi'an, and relayed Amur's words to Zuoruo.

At this time, nearly 20,000 rebels had gathered under the city of Xi'an.

Over the past decade or so, the atmosphere of rebellion in Shaanxi has become more and more vigorous. After experiencing the civil unrest during the Chongzhen period, the short-lived Dashun court and the brutality of the Qing court, all the stragglers who did not want to be Jurchen slaves all threw themselves to Zuo Ruo. Li Zicheng is dead, and there are still a few people who dare to dream of being an emperor, just to find a strong enough backer.

And Zuo Ruo is also willing to accept such people.

The person who can persist until now and still insist on confronting Qinglu is very good for his taste.

Those people don't know discipline, and they are embarrassed. But in Zuo Ruo's eyes, there are no poorly trained soldiers, only generals who can't train.

After listening to the messenger's words, Zuo Ruo seemed to have some impressions and said, "Amur? ”。 When the Jin kings were still the thousand households of the Tumuthan tribe, they fought several battles with the Amur of Chahar.

"Is it still more than ten years ago?" He sneered and instructed the messenger: "You go back to Yulinwei again to see Wang Yi, if Amur dares to stop you, you will say that it is almost the same as Ezhe's coming to negotiate an alliance with me, and he is not qualified to do so."

The messenger hesitated and said, "Now it seems that all the roads to the north of Yan'an Mansion are in the hands of Amur."

"Then what's the matter" Zuo Ruo looked down at him and said, "Are you afraid?" If you die on the way, I will kill a hundred Chahars to avenge you."

"The last general is not afraid, the last general is only afraid of delaying the general's major affairs"

The messenger left the gate of the governor's palace, and without even drinking a saliva, he immediately set out on the northbound road again.

Zuo Ruo sat in the palace and pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Call Liang Chengbao over"

It was nothing for the Mongols to go south to Yan'an to plunder, but Amur dared to stop his messenger and prevent him from contacting Wang Yi, which offended his rebellion.

Amur was threatening him in a different way, and Amur hoped that the alliance between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty would be dominated by Chahar, otherwise Chahar would have the ability to prevent the Mongol cavalry from moving south to join forces with the Ming army to attack the Qing.

But now, the Mongols still have nothing, tens of thousands of cavalry in the steppe leaning on the good escape to survive. Zuo Ruo wanted Amur to know that Ezhe's departure from the Qing court and cooperation with the Ming Dynasty was due to the Ming Dynasty's benevolence to him, and it was the Ming Dynasty who rescued Chahar from dire straits, not that the Ming Dynasty had sought Chahar.

After a cup of tea, Liang Chengbao was ordered to come to the Governor's Palace. He has taken off his monk's robe and put on a Ming Army Qianjun official uniform, and the official position temporarily granted to him by Zuo Ruo is the Qianzhong General of the Army.

The appointment of officials above the Ming Dynasty must be approved by the General's Mansion and the Ministry of War, Zuo Ruo has reported to the imperial court to him, but I don't know how much time it will take for the approval of the Ministry of War to come down Zheng.

"See General"

"Get up" Zuo Ruo looked Liang Chengbao up and down, and said: "I changed my clothes, and I still look like a man"

"The adult praised it falsely" Recently, it was the time for the redistribution of power in Xi'an City, Liang Chengbao saddled up and horse, and didn't sleep well for seven or eight days, just to get Zuo Ruo's appreciation, but by no means hoped that Zuo Ruo would appreciate his skin.

Zuo Ruo didn't disappoint him for long, and then said: "There are tens of thousands of rebels outside Xi'an City, you are familiar with those people, and you can select 5,000 loyal and warlike people to enter Xi'an City, and you will temporarily command them to maintain order in the city, but you must remember that those who disobey military orders will die." ”

"Obey, thank you general" Liang Chengbao was overjoyed.

"I'll send a few thousand to help you"

Saying that it is assistance is actually surveillance, but Liang Chengbao did not hesitate at all, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and said: "Thank you General Zuo" He ascended to the sky in one step and became the commander of the 5,000 righteous army.

The reuse of newly recruited soldiers and horses was an inevitable trend, and Zuo Ruo accelerated the process because of his distrust of the Mongols.

The messenger to the north was again abducted by the Amur at the border of Yan'an Province.

Amur was furious when he heard the messenger relay Zoruo's words. He originally knew that Zuo Ruo was arrogant and domineering, but he didn't expect Zuo Ruo to be arrogant.

"What is his identity, how can he be so rude to the Great Khan of the Mongols?"

The messenger looked at Amur babbling as if he were looking at a long-tongued woman.

Amr calmed down and asked the messenger: "Do you want to stay here, or go back?" ”

"I'm going north"

"There is danger on the road to the north"

The messenger puffed up his chest and said, "General Zuo has an order, even if the villain dies halfway, he must go to Yulinwei to meet the royal envoy." I die, General Zuo will avenge me

Amur burst into a rage and said, "You should stay here first"

He did not dare, and would not kill, the messenger, but he would not tolerate the Tumuts colluding with Wang Yi to manipulate the alliance between the Ming and the Mongols. The Qing soldiers in Yan'an Mansion were his bargaining chips, and the Ming army lacked cavalry, so it was difficult to defeat the Qing soldiers without the help of the Mongol cavalry.

If Zuo Ruo sent envoys north twice in a row, he must have been eager to cooperate with the Mongols to defeat the Qing troops in Yan'an Province and restore the whole territory to Shaanxi, so as not to have many dreams at night.

He just wanted to get a little support from Zuo Ruo, but he didn't expect Zuo Ruo to trample on the dignity of Mongolia so much.

The messenger to the north went but did not return, and the Mongol coalition army was slow to hear from it.

A team of scouts from Sichuan rushed north to deliver urgent military information, and Zuo Ruo couldn't sit still. In mid-June, Azig heard that Xi'an had been lost, leaving only 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Hanzhong, and led a large army north.

Even Azig in Hanzhong got the news, why is Wang Yi still hiding in the fog cover of the clouds and mountains?

Sitting still is not by no means Zuo Ruo's style.

On the night of the same day, 20,000 Ming troops left Xi'an and marched to Yan'an Mansion in a hurry, leaving only Liang Chengbao to lead 10,000 righteous soldiers and civilians to guard Xi'an City.

In summer, it is best to march at night.

As soon as the Ming army left Xi'an City, the Qing captives of Yan'an Mansion got the news.

There were 10,000 Qing cavalry in Yan'an Prefecture, but in the face of the 20,000 foot soldiers who came closely, no one dared to come out to meet the enemy.

Several Jiala Ezhen gathered together to discuss: "Now that Xi'an has been lost, Shaanxi has ten ** can't hold it, you and I are struggling to support here, if the Ming army and the Mongols join forces to besiege Yan'an City, I'm afraid that there will be no way to live." ”

Zuo Ruojun hurriedly marched to Yan'an City, which had already been empty.

The Qing captives abandoned Yan'an and retreated to Qingjian, where Shanxi and Shaanxi meet. Shanxi was close to Gyeonggi, and the Qing court was heavily guarded, and at this time it had heard the news that the Ming army was going north to defeat the defenders of Shaanxi, and had already prepared ships to meet the remnants of the defeated army in the Yellow River.

The Ming army only entered Yan'an City, and a cavalry came to Beicheng.
