From the beginning of March to the middle of July, in more than three months, there were about 400,000 people who were forced to search and arrest by the Han army and voluntarily surrender from Hengshan.

The number of these people is not a lot, but for the Black Mountain thieves who were originally hiding in the mountains, they only accounted for about forty percent of the original population of the Black Mountain Thieves.

For them, Fuquan ordered the merger of prefectures and counties, divided into guilty and innocent, the guilty are the people who have resisted the Han army, about 100,000 people, the Han army will resist the cottage of men, women and children. After these people killed the leaders who led them to rebel against the imperial court, they were disrupted in batches, and they were all relocated to the barren counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong in Bingzhou, and ordered them to be tuntian in the form of semi-military management.

The remaining more than 200,000 people who took the initiative to surrender were transferred into the army after the leaders of the thieves and some of the young men with good combat strength were transferred into the army, and the rest were all placed in Taiyuan and Shangdang, which were rich counties and counties in the prefecture, and the households were all organized to meet the people, so as to fill the gap in the population loss caused by the alliance with the Hu people in these years.

Unconsciously, the Han army led by Guan Yu has been fighting in Hengshan for almost half a year, full of eyes in addition to the mountains are hills, walking on the mountain road every day, gathering and driving away the mountain people, sometimes there are battles, the days can be described as monotonous and boring to the extreme, enough to drive a normal person crazy, during which there are even many soldiers who defeated the rebels and thieves, and directly abducted women and insulted them.

Guan Yu saw that the momentum was not right, and he severely punished many people repeatedly, and even a Sima who had been with him for many years was punished by him with a cane and twenty punishments, which stopped this unstable wind of military morale. Of course, it is difficult to completely stop it, after all, there are always soldiers who will do exciting things to vent their spirits when the generals can't see them.

In fact, Mo said that the soldiers were full of complaints and constantly violated military discipline, and even Guan Yu, the main general, couldn't stand it, which is why they have never killed anyone for those soldiers who insult women.

It is precisely because of this that Guan Yu knows that he must speed up the progress of the sweep, otherwise, in a few months, I am afraid that the army may mutiny in this mountain, so his target has been focused on Yu Poison.

With tens of thousands of Han troops repeatedly sweeping for half a year, the people of Hengshan have now become seventy or eighty percent, and the remaining two or three have become to resist the invasion of the Han army, and they have gathered under the command of Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Zheng Gu and other Black Mountain Qu Marshals to form the Montenegrin Alliance, with Yu Poison as the leader of the alliance.

Yu Poison just started to do something, because the road to Hengshan is difficult, coupled with the large number of people, the Han army has been scattered and gathered since entering the mountain, Yu Poison relied on his familiarity with geography, sent Montenegro thieves to attack a small group of Han troops, raided the supply line, and even killed the surrendered Montenegrin mountain people, using all means.

However, as the army composed of 20,000 Han troops and 10,000 Montenegrin elites continued to approach the lair of the Montenegrin coalition army like Mount Tai, Yu Poison's actions gradually converged until they were gone.

If the black mountain thieves rely on their geographical advantages, they can use the mountain road to avoid the pursuit of the Han army, flee to the north where the Han army is weak, and then make a decision, and the Han army that pursues and kills can only follow behind and eat ashes, but the black mountain thieves have no intention of escaping, but are ready to make the final struggle. The reason for this is that the Black Mountain thieves are essentially different from those homeless people, they cultivate the valleys, cultivate the fields, raise cattle and sheep, and the foundation is here, and they can't leave if they want to.

Not far from Yu Poison's lair, all the Han soldiers knew that this was the last battle, and they thought that they would never have to live that irritable life in the future, and they suddenly had enough energy.

The Han army set up camp in a hilly area with a water source ten miles away from the mountains occupied by the poison, and Guan Yu then ordered Zhang Xiu, Hu Feng, Pang De, Yang Aruo, Zhang Baiqi and other brave generals in the army, followed him and Fu De, and led dozens of horsemen to drive directly to the enemy's nest to investigate the enemy's situation.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Guan Yu is now a battlefield general, so naturally he will not know this truth, not to mention, the terrain in the mountains is dangerous, so he can't help but care.

There are dozens of Black Mountain scouts on the road, the number of people is equal, but the difference between the two sides is too big, not to mention Zhang Xiu, Hu Feng, Pang De, such a fierce general of the three armies, even Zhang Baiqi himself is also known for his courage in Hengshan, and the dozens of guards carried by Guan Yu are all elite soldiers who crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and once the two sides fight, it is almost a one-sided massacre.

That's it, or Guan Yu himself still has a few people left, and because of Fu De, who is not very powerful, he can't blame the Black Mountain Thief Scouts for being too weak, they are too strong.

Guan Yu and his entourage successfully arrived at the foot of Beishan Mountain at their destination, and the poison lair was in this mountain range, and there were only two places where the brigade could pass through, and the so-called brigade was only a few hundred people. One is halfway up the mountain, and the other is on a lower hill, and both places have simple forts, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and dangerous places.

Looking at the fortress with complicated terrain and easy to defend and difficult to attack, Guan Yu frowned and asked, "Bai Qi, can there be other entrances?" ”

Zhang Bai said: "Naturally, there are, the small ones don't mention it, the big ones have three places, the west has one, and the east has two." From here, it takes 500 miles to go around to the west, and 600 miles to the east. And Yu Poison must have sent troops to guard it. ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded, and then said to Fu De: "Does the general have a good plan?" ”

Fu De looked at the mountain range seriously, shook his head and said nothing, obviously helpless, Guan Yu saw this and replied: "The way to break the enemy can be seen in a few days, and then I hope that the general will say a good word or two at the hussar." ”

After speaking, Guan Yu continued to explore the mountain range, and after a long time, he led people back to the camp.

On the same day and night, Fuquan sent 5,000 strong men from Montenegro to the east, and sent Zhang Xiu 5,000 soldiers to Tunxi Mountain. Zhang Xiubu is the opposite, it deliberately pretends to be a rabble, so that the opponent can let down his guard, and then show his fangs and deliver a fatal blow.

The Han army came from afar, although Guan Yu knew that the soldiers and generals in the army wanted to go to war, but he was still pressed down by Guan Yu, he didn't want to go to war directly, the Han army wandered around the mountains for so long, and they climbed the mountain to fight without resting.

It wasn't until the army rested for three days that Guan Yu ordered to send troops, and at present, his subordinates have nearly 30,000 soldiers with the continuous collection of Montenegrin thieves, of which the Han army and Montenegro account for half each.

Guan Yu asked Zhang Baiqi to lead the Black Mountain Department to attack the two fortresses in turn, and Zhang Baicai always rushed to the front line, but the Black Mountain was strong and could not bear to fight hard, and repeatedly collapsed in front of the fortress. After five or six days, the number of dead in the battle was more than 5,000, and the two forts showed no tendency to fall, and they did not move at all.

The Montenegrin thieves were quite surprised, the Han army did not seem to match the rumors, just when they thought that the Han army was nothing more than that, Guan Yu launched another round of attacks, he first made the Montenegro strong for half a day, and then suddenly exerted force before sunset, and even personally put on the battle, leading the five thousand Han army to storm the low mountain fortress.

In the past few days, the weakness of the opponent has made the Montenegrin thief's mentality extremely relaxed, and it is difficult to think about it at this time, and it is difficult to think about it again, and for a while he was beaten by the Han army, the fortress was declared lost, and the two sides launched hand-to-hand combat on the fortress, and someone fell down every moment, until the moment before dark, the Montenegrin thieves suddenly had a large force of reinforcements to come to support, and they barely drove the Han army down and stabilized the position.

Seeing that this strategy was effective, in the next few days, Guan Yu, who knew that the other side would definitely learn a lesson, made a small change in the original attack plan, and fought with a mixture of Han army and Montenegro, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Until the 10th day, Guan Yu estimated that the two partial armies had almost arrived at the designated place, and instead launched a crazy and violent attack with the Han army as the main force and the Montenegro as the auxiliary.

"Kill ......" Guan Yu held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and rushed to the top of the mountain quickly, killing several people in a row halfway, just because he was in a deep mountain, it was not conducive to the use of long weapons, otherwise there would definitely be many people who died in his hands.

Thousands of Han troops with heavy iron armor followed the commander Guan Yu without hesitation, like a black wave, rolling up. Overhead, thousands of long arrows with call signs, like dark clouds pressing on the top, covered the sky and covered every inch of the fortress densely, so that the black mountain thieves could not raise their heads.

The Han army was well-equipped, brave and good at fighting, and although it was dismounted infantry, it was not comparable to ordinary foot soldiers. The Montenegrin thieves were outnumbered and occupied, and the two sides fought bloody battles on the fortress. Every time the Han army pushed forward, it had to pay huge casualties, and the Black Mountain thieves wanted to press it back by a foot, and they also had to consume countless lives.

The Montenegrin side increased reinforcements three times in a row, and finally repelled the Han army, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Guan Yu immediately organized another attack, which was more ferocious than before, like waves crashing on the shore, wave after wave, endlessly.

On the four days of the attack, the Han army killed almost 5,000 people, correspondingly, the Black Mountain thieves killed more than 10,000 people, and they were killed countless times.

Knowing that the opponent was about to end, Guan Yu did not have the intention of being complacent, and at night, Guan Yu threw money in the army, but raised 500 dead soldiers for great use.

In the early morning of the next day, Guan Yu made 500 dead soldiers stay in the camp to recuperate, and led the army to attack again, from sunrise to sunrise, there was no pause for even a quarter of an hour for four whole hours, and the black mountain thieves were tortured unspeakably.

In the end, the five hundred dead soldiers recruited by Guan Yu were dispatched, carrying double armor and shields, and as soon as they rushed to the fortress, they were firmly nailed to the same place, and the Han army relied on them as a barrier and continued to pour up.

"Kill the Han army quickly, ...... quickly" Looking at the unfavorable situation on the battlefield, Yu Yao yelled hysterically, and the Black Mountain thieves rushed up after hearing this, but the opponent was a brave man selected from tens of thousands of Han troops, everyone had the heart of death, and they were full of energy, where were the Black Mountain thieves their opponents, and they were defeated with a counter-charge.

Yu Poison was furious, stabbed three or four routed soldiers head-on, scolded endlessly, and said that if anyone escaped, he would be killed directly. The black mountain thieves looked at Yu Poison in horror and turned back tremblingly, but they retreated again after a little battle.

Seeing that the soldiers were incompetent, Yu Poison was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and personally went out to lead hundreds of guards and Montenegrin thieves to fight the dead soldiers of the Han army.

Seeing everyone's eyes, there were disdainful eyes, as if to say, you are not much better.

Yu Poison's old face turned red, but he couldn't attack, since the fortress can't hold it, then retreat to the second line of defense, and was about to give an order, a man covered in blood and like a small leader hurriedly came behind him, and said softly: "Dashuai, Xishan is lost......"

Yu Poison twisted his stiff neck to look at the man, his eyes were dull, his face was numb, and he said for a while: "What? ”

"Xishan was lost, and Bai Shuai died in battle."

The facial features were distorted into a ball, and Yu Poison was a little unconvinced, but he still lowered his voice and said: "The white soldiers and horses are comparable to the Han army, how can they die and lose their ground?" Impotent! Incompetent ......"

"The Han army is very elite, and I want to be the main force. Yu Shuai, the current situation should be withdrawn, otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

"......" Yu Poison smiled bitterly, he had even fantasized about guarding until winter, and even fantasized about attacking the Han army when it retreated, he was really arrogant, and he felt ridiculous when he thought about it.

Knowing this, he chose to surrender at the beginning, Tao Sheng and Zhang Baiqi were mixed into the military marquis and Sima in the Han army, in his mind, according to his strength, if he surrendered, he should be similar to those guys. It's just that it's too late to surrender at this time, not to mention that he is the latest to surrender, that is, he has fought against the Han army in the past few days, and the Han army has killed tens of thousands of people, with the murderous nature of the other party's main general Guan Yu, Yu Poison knows that he will not spare himself.

In the fortress of "Yu Shuai ......", there was a sudden exclamation of horror, and then I saw Yu Yao's cronies rushing to arrive: "Dongshan has been broken, and the Han army has killed ...... from behind."

After saying this, the thousands of black mountain thieves present collapsed, and the tide generally poured down the fort behind them, judging from the current situation, they have been surrounded by the Han army, and if they continue to die, they can only die, but this is obviously not what they want.

However, the exit of the mountain pass was so big that it could not accommodate everyone, so in order to escape as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to draw his sword and slash forward, and then he was hacked to death by the people behind him. In order to get the boss out, Yu Poison's personal guard also joined the ranks of the fight, but there were too many black mountain thieves and they couldn't be killed.

Originally, the mountain pass that the Black Mountain thieves regarded as a natural danger has now become their grave, and in the face of the Han army that pounced, Yu Poison sighed and was captured.

The blood soaked through the mountains and forests, Guan Yu stared at Yu Poison who was kneeling in front of him, and said coldly: "The Han Heavenly Soldiers are here, why don't you descend early?" ”

"I don't know what I heard."

"Kill!" Seeing that Yu Poison was so arrogant, Guan Yu, who was proud of himself, couldn't get used to poison, and did not hesitate to order someone to behead him.

In this battle, at the cost of more than 10,000 deaths, the Han army broke the Black Mountain Thief Alliance, captured more than 300,000 people, and killed more than 10 leaders below the leader of the alliance, and the people captured by the Han army were all relocated to the border of Youzhou in accordance with the previous migration measures.

At this point, the black mountain thieves who once rebelled against the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty and made the imperial court unable to control them completely disappeared in the long river of history.
