When Li Yan came over, after hearing the question of the king's power, he immediately smiled slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry, if nothing happens, Li Zicheng should not be able to capture Kaifeng Mansion, do you remember the army that came to encircle and suppress my volunteer army a year ago, but was ambushed by us once, and was almost wiped out by our army? I learned from the prisoners of war that that army came from Kaifeng Mansion, you know that after that battle, I went back to my hometown and brought my parents, wife and children over at home, right?"

Wang Quan nodded, he did know about this matter, he agreed that time, and when Li Yan went to pick up the family, he still took it from the original Changfeng Hall, the entire volunteer army of 100,000 soldiers, the only battalion among the hundreds of battalions that was given the title of "Righteous Brave" by the royal power, and it was the most elite battalion in the entire volunteer army!

Moreover, the most important reason why Wang Quan was impressed by that time was that Li Yan brought back not only his family, but also brought back a righteous army, which was not many in number, only hundreds, and it was just a righteous army that had just raised the flag.

Wang Quan didn't expect that Li Yan and the Red Lady were so fateful, if Wang Quan remembered correctly, the original Red Lady should have been a street woman, because of her good looks, she was coveted by the son of the county magistrate of Qixian County, and was even taken back to the county government by him.

Li Yan also greatly offended the son of the county order, was framed by the son of the county order, and was arrested in prison, after the news was known to the red lady who had decided to rebel, the red lady immediately led someone to rob the prison and rescued Li Yan!

Of course, at that time, Li Yan and the Red Lady were not together, although the Red Lady fell in love with Li Yan because of Li Yan's heroic rescue of beauty, but Li Yan already had a wife at home, and that time to save the Red Lady was just a convenient one, and she was not moved because the Red Lady was good-looking!

However, that encounter also made Li Yan make up his mind to rebel, and decided to say goodbye to his family and join the rebels to rebel together, but Li Yan's wife committed suicide after Li Yan left home because she couldn't persuade Li Yan to rebel!

After Li Yan learned about it, he was very sad in his heart, and the red lady had been with him to comfort him and accompany him, and after a long time, Li Yan finally fell in love with the red lady for a long time (don't think about it), and finally got together!

What Wang Quan didn't expect was that after coming to this world, he took Li Yan away in advance, and the red lady still escaped without Li Yan's rescue, and then held high the banner of righteousness, and then followed Li Yan to join the volunteer army when Li Yan went home to pick up his family!

Of course, Li Yan and the Red Lady are not together yet, but the Red Lady is already one of the most powerful generals under Li Yan's command! And Li Yan's wife did not commit suicide by hanging the beam, although she had this idea, but the volunteer soldiers kept an eye on it, and there was no chance at all!

In addition, when she saw the scene of the people outside living in poverty, and saw the people living and working in peace and contentment in the jurisdiction of the volunteers, when she went out, all she heard was the praise of Li Yan and the high-level leaders of the volunteers of Wang Quan, and she also understood that her husband was really doing good things for the country and the people, and gradually gave up that idea!

Getting back to the point, Li Yan saw that Wang Quan remembered what happened at the beginning, and immediately said: "I have already investigated when I went home that time, and the Ming army that came to encircle and suppress us is the garrison of Kaifeng Mansion, if Li Zicheng can't even defeat Kaifeng Mansion, which has almost no garrison, it will not be as big as it is now!"

Wang Quan thought about it, but also, now because of his participation, the garrison of Kaifeng Mansion is much less than in the original history, plus the current Li Zicheng Department, it is also much stronger than in the original history, after all, in the original history, Li Zicheng was defeated by Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou several times, and once even beat only a dozen people fled in embarrassment!

With the participation of the royal power in this world, when Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou encircled and suppressed Li Zicheng, they were robbed by the volunteers several times because of the heavy grain and grass, although they were not defeated, but they did not achieve the kind of results recorded in the original history, and Li Zicheng's main force was preserved almost every time!

At this moment, Li Yan said again: "Moreover, even if there is no Li Zicheng, I may not lose against Sun Chuanting, although I am not as good as Sun Chuanting, but our volunteers are much stronger than Sun Chuanting's soldiers and horses, even if Sun Chuanting is better than me, but relying on the elite of our volunteers, it is not a problem to block him, and there may not even be no chance of winning!"

Wang Quan nodded and said: "Okay, since you are sure, then tomorrow I will respond to Song Xiance, agree to his request, and after you are ready, you will lead the troops to the battle, and I will guard Shudi, let's take the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop this time, and then make every effort to deal with the Manchu Qing outside the Guan!"

Li Yan nodded, and then, after Wang Quan and Li Yan discussed the national policy for a long time, Li Yan said goodbye and left!

The next day, Wang Quan asked people to call Song Xiance and told Song Xiance the results of his discussion with Li Yan.

In August of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Li Yan left Shu with 100,000 volunteers and officially set out on the expedition! Half a month later, Li Yan entered the territory of Shaanxi and officially faced the most prominent general of the Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty -- Sun Chuanting!

In the following three months, Li Yan and Sun Chuanting fought a total of seven times, including two wins, two losses and three draws, Sun Chuanting really deserved to be Sun Chuanting, even with Li Yan's talent, coupled with the elite of the volunteers, he still failed to gain the upper hand, and in the end, after the first snow fell in Chongzhen's fourteenth year, the two tacitly suspended the war!

However, Sun Chuanting went out in person with soldiers and horses in a snowy weather, wanting to sneak attack Li Yan, but unfortunately, he underestimated the elite of the volunteers, even if it was snowing outside, the volunteers still did not relax their vigilance, and found Sun Chuanting from afar.

Sun Chuanting saw that he was discovered, there was no chance of a sneak attack, and in this weather, it was not suitable for a tough battle, so he had to lead his troops back again!

This truce lasted until the beginning of the spring of the second year, and when the weather improved, Li Yan and Sun Chuanting had not yet started the war, and Li Zicheng, who had already captured Kaifeng Mansion, led people to attack!

No matter how powerful Sun Chuanting is, he still can't defeat Li Yan and Li Zicheng, who have an absolute numerical advantage, and under the attack of the two, Sun Chuanting only held on for half a month and then couldn't hold it anymore, and was finally defeated!

Just when Sun Chuanting was about to commit suicide and apologize, Yang Baicheng, the commander of the Volunteer Battalion, attacked with dozens of people, knocked down Sun Chuanting's self-killing knife, and captured him alive!
