    Naturally, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed when scouts are dispatched on such a large scale.  ¡°After all, one knows the person but not the heart. Among the dozens of lobbyists sent back, there must be some who agreed in person and then turned around to inform Zhang Yan.  ¡°But Yuan Mai didn¡¯t care at all, he wanted this effect.  These prisoners who were released did not know each other and had not met each other. They only knew that there were many who were released to instigate rebellion.  In this way, Yuan Mai's purpose was achieved, and Zhang Yan clearly knew that someone in various departments in Montenegro was being incited to rebel, but he was not sure who was being incited to rebel?  This creates a situation where various departments in Montenegro are suspicious of each other, and finally strive to defeat each other!  "You bitch Yuan Zaizi, this move is really vicious!" After Zhang Yan got the news, she gritted her teeth angrily, slapped the case and cursed angrily.  Urgently summon the commanders of all ministries to come for military discussions.  "After listening to Zhang Yan's words, the commanders of the various ministries and channels look at me and I look at you. I don't know what to say?"  Moreover, each other's eyes were a little blurry, and everyone looked like traitors, fearing that the companions standing next to them would defect to the officers and soldiers and stab themselves in the back.  For a moment, everyone was in danger and the whole hall was silent.  Zhang Yan sat on the tiger leather chair and glanced at the Qushuai generals standing on both sides. There were more than a hundred people, big and small.  The larger ones among these people, such as Lei Gong, Chang Gen, Zhang Baiqi, Bai Rao, Wulu, Zuo Xiao, etc., all have four to five thousand people under their command. Others who cannot be named have different scales, with more  There are thousands of people, less than two or three hundred, and the smallest one has only eighty people, but he also sets up his own business and calls himself Fangqushuai. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? After all, it is human nature to covet glory and wealth. As long as there is a way out, who is willing to fall into trouble?  Faced with the olive branch offered by Yuan Mai, some people could not resist the temptation and betrayed and surrendered the officers and soldiers. It is really normal!  "Alas we can't fight this battle, retreat!" Zhang Yan sighed helplessly, and decided to retreat like a deflated ball.  Even Zhang Yan was helpless, and other Qushuai naturally remained silent.  In this attack on Dingxiang, all the troops suffered heavy losses, and people were tired of the war. Most of the Qu commanders had long wanted to withdraw, but Zhang Yan didn't say anything, and no one dared to propose it.  At this moment, since Zhang Yan said to retreat, no one raised any objection.  "What General Zhaolie said is absolutely true. For the time being, return to Taihang and slowly look for the spies! To fight against the outside world, we must first pacify the inside. Only by clearing out the traitors who colluded with the officers and soldiers can we have a showdown with the Yuan family!"  With Commander Qu's echo, Zhang Yan made a decision: "Send my military order to withdraw the troops at midnight tonight!" Zhang Yan didn't know which of the various tribes in Heishan had become a traitor, but Yuan Mai did.  Soon after it got dark, the prisoners sent returned one after another to report to Yuan Mai the results of persuading them to surrender.  Xu Shu wrote and made statistics. According to the reports of these prisoners, among the tribes that were lured to surrender, the strongest one was Bai Rao. He had more than 4,000 troops under his command, and he was considered the most powerful faction among the tribes in Montenegro.  In addition to Bai Rao, there are two commanders under Qu Shuai who have more than a thousand troops. One is Luo Hou, who has 1,300 men, and the other is Zhang Tianba, who has one thousand and one men.  Full of energy and strength.  In addition to these three major forces, the strength of other ministries is around a few hundred people.  The names of the Qushuai of various tribes in Montenegro are strange and weird simply because they are not their real names, but they are made up casually by themselves.  Rebellion and uprising against the imperial court was a major crime to annihilate the nine tribes, so the leaders of these rebels changed their names and made up random names based on their own characteristics. Strictly speaking, it was more like their nicknames.  The envoy sent by Bai Rao also leaked the military information to Yuan Mai, "Shuai Bai Qu asked me to tell the governor that at three o'clock tonight, all the Black Mountain Army will pull out of camp and retreat. Bai Qu Shuai hopes that Shi Jun can lead his troops to pursue him. Commander Qu is willing to cooperate internally and externally, and the Black Mountain Army will  Stop them on the way back, and then pursue them. If you attack from both sides, you will be able to defeat Zhang Yan!" "Very good. You can persuade Bai Yao to surrender. It's a great achievement for you. Go down and collect the reward!"  Immediately summon Xu Shu, Wang Ling, Guo Huai and others to discuss.  If what Bai Rao said was true, attacking from both sides while the Black Mountain bandits were retreating, they would definitely be able to severely damage their opponents.  But Yuan Mai also had concerns. If Bai Rao used a false surrender strategy to lure him to pursue him in the middle of the night, and the Black Mountain Army set up an ambush in a hidden place, they would suffer losses.  But opportunities are rare. If you are timid, how can you achieve great things?  After some discussion, everyone made a plan to divide their forces to pursue and support each other.  Wang Shuang led three thousand cavalry to follow behind the Black Mountain Army and attack mainly. Guo Huai, Wang Ling, Zhou Cang, and Zhang Xun each led the attack.The 3,000 men marched in four directions, responding to each other's attacks and defenses from a distance. Yuan Mai and Xu Shu led the remaining 4,000 men to the rear to support them, so that they would not be afraid of the Montenegrin army's deception.  At the beginning of this attack on Dingxiang, Gongsun Xu worked very hard. However, after suffering heavy losses in the first siege, he began to be perfunctory and only worked but did not put in any effort. This made Zhang Yan very angry with Gongsun Xu and his group.  It's dissatisfaction.  Therefore, Zhang Yan did not notify Gongsun Xu in advance of tonight's retreat. Instead, he waited until the various troops in Heishan were about to break camp before sending someone to notify Gongsun Xu and others.  In this way, Gongsun Xu's men fell behind, and the important task of cutting off the rear naturally fell on them.  It¡¯s early September, and the late autumn weather in northern Shanxi is cold.  The night is dark and windy, and the north wind is howling.  More than 60,000 Montenegrin troops received Zhang Yan's order and broke out of camp to head east in the middle of the night. Suddenly, torches were swaying and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing could be heard.  "What? All the troops in Montenegro have already abandoned their camps and retreated?" Gongsun Xu heard the news in his sleep. He hurriedly put on his armor and went out of the camp to check. In the dark night, torches everywhere were like stars in the sky, and there were cars and horses rattling in the wilderness.  The sky was full of dust, and all the troops were retreating eastward. Only one of their own battalions had not moved.  "Zhang Yan, the dog-bastard, is plotting against us! He wants us to give him the back seat. It's such a disservice to the dog-bastard!" Gongsun gnashed his teeth angrily and cursed loudly. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But before their camp was finished, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind them, and Wang Shuang led three thousand cavalry to sweep in.  Taking advantage of Gongsun Xu's men being unprepared, the "White Feather Cavalry" fired a flurry of arrows, shooting a wave of arrows and killing seven to eight hundred soldiers who had not yet fully awakened.  "No, Yuan soldiers are coming. Retreat immediately! We don't need any tents or materials. Retreat immediately!" After the Battle of Dingxiang, Gongsun Xu's troops lost more than 2,500 people, leaving only  There are about four thousand troops.  At this moment, Yuan Jun's cavalry were charged and killed, and nearly a thousand people were lost. If he did not break out quickly, Gongsun Jun would probably be annihilated!  Following Gongsun Xu's order, more than 3,000 soldiers abandoned their belongings and retreated behind the torches of the Montenegrin Army. In a hurry, the army had no fighting spirit and fled eastward without any plan, just like a flood that broke an embankment.  .  Seeing that the Black Mountain Army did not resort to a false surrender strategy, Wang Shuang immediately ordered people to raise fire as a signal to Wang Ling, Guo Huai and other four groups, summoning them to come out together to pursue the traitors.  Suddenly, four groups of officers and soldiers came out at the same time, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the mountains and plains.  Wang Shuang also continued to urge his cavalry to pursue them. Without much effort, he harvested thousands more heads, killing the thieves and corpses everywhere.  Gongsun Xu knew that the situation was over, so he led Gongsun Fan and Shan Jing with more than a thousand defeated soldiers, and followed the Black Mountain Army to retreat in panic towards the Taihang Mountains.  Suddenly, there was a shout among the retreating Heishan army, and Bai Rao's troops suddenly turned against the enemy, waving their weapons to block the retreating thieves, and shouted loudly: "We have surrendered to Yuan Bingzhou, and those who put down their weapons will avoid death!" Bai Rao  There were a total of 4,000 of his subordinates walking in the middle of the team. At this moment, they suddenly switched sides and blocked the more than 15,000 Montenegrin troops behind them, making it difficult to pass through in their eagerness.  Seeing that Bai Rao's tribe turned against the imperial court, Luo Hong, Zhang Tianba and other commanders also took action, turned their spearheads, and intercepted the Montenegrin army behind them.  Suddenly, there were seven or eight thousand rebel Montenegrin troops, and the more than fifteen thousand Montenegrin thieves behind them were so desperate that they could not pass a single step.  Being blocked by Bai Rao and other rebels, Gongsun Xu, who was dragged at the back, had nowhere to escape and was surrounded by the pursuers behind him.  In the chaos of the army, Wang Shuang was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, invincible. He met Gongsun Xu head-on, and the battle was unstoppable. He stretched his arms lightly, grabbed Gongsun Xu's belt, and captured him alive again. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly:  "Haha You fell into the hands of grandpa again. Do you want to accept it or not?" Just when Wang Shuang captured Gongsun Xu alive, Guo Huai also led his troops to kill him. He saw Gongsun Fan bending his bow and setting an arrow like an important general.  , an arrow hit his forehead, and he immediately fell off his horse and died.  Hearing that Bai Rao, Luo Hong, Zhang Tianba and others had rebelled against him, Zhang Yan was furious and returned to attack Bai Rao, vowing to eradicate this scum in the Black Mountain Army.  In the dark night, 60,000 to 70,000 Montenegrin troops killed each other, with more than 15,000 officers and soldiers mixed in. The battle was unprecedentedly brutal.  Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and corpses lay everywhere.  The fighting didn¡¯t end until dawn. More than 7,000 of the more than 15,000 Black Mountain bandits blocked by Bai Rao and other rebels were killed in the battle, and the remaining 8,000 were captured by the officers and soldiers.?.  Gongsun Xu's men and horses were all destroyed. One of Gongsun's uncle and nephew was captured, one was killed, and only Shan Jing escaped alone.  Bai Rao, Luo Hou and other tribesmen who betrayed the Black Mountain Army did not fare much better. They were attacked from both sides by Zhang Yan and the bandits who were dragging behind them. Almost all of them were killed. Bai Rao, Zhang Tianba and other commanders were beheaded.  , only more than a thousand soldiers lasted until dawn, surrendering to the officers and soldiers.  When the Black Mountain Army invaded Dingxiang, there were more than 110,000 people. When they retreated, there were less than 40,000.  After this battle, the main force of the Black Mountain Army was basically disintegrated, its vitality was severely damaged, and it was no longer able to threaten Ji and Bingzhou.  Standing on a high place, looking at the corpses of the Montenegrin Army scattered all over the field, with wolf smoke and broken Montenegrin flags everywhere, Zhang Yan couldn't help but burst into tears and beat her chest: "My Montenegrin Army, this battle was well defeated.  Tragic, Yuan Mai, Yuan Mai, you and I are at odds with each other. I, Zhang Yan, will one day make a comeback! "The battle is over and the smoke has dispersed.  Xu Shu sent people to reorganize the captured 8,000-life Black Mountain bandits and the surrendered ones together, let them clean the battlefield, and then follow them south to Hanoi to reorganize.  After this battle, Yuan Maijun also suffered considerable losses and needed to be replenished.  With a little training, these thieves can still be used as cannon fodder.  Under the hunting banner, Wang Shuang brought Gongsun Xu to see Yuan Mai, kicked him down, and shouted: "You have met my governor, why don't you kneel down?" Gongsun Xu gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in silence.  Yuan Mai snorted coldly and said: "For the sake of Zilong, I spared your life last time, but you did not want to repent, but instead intensified your invasion of my territory. This time I will not spare you!" He ordered the left and right: "  Come on, push this guy down and kill him!" A moment later, as the sword and ax hand rose and fell, a cold light fell, and blood spurted out like a spring from two places on Gongsun Xu's body.  Since then, the Gongsun family, which once dominated the northern land, was completely destroyed and completely withdrew from the stage of history!
