The campaign was a result of an alliance between Charles IX of Sweden and Vasili IV of Russia , made in Viborg in 1609 , whereby the latter promised to cede the County of Kexholm to Sweden . The combined Russo - Swedish forces set out from Novgorod late in 1609 and marched towards Moscow , relieving the Siege of Troitse - Sergiyeva Lavra on their way . They dispersed the supporters of False Dmitry II , who maintained an alternative court in Tushino near Moscow and challenged the authority of Vasily IV .

The campaign ended with most of De la Gardie ' s forces being destroyed by the Polish hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski at the Battle of Klushino in 1610 .
