Among the nobles of Jinyang, Hu Luguang is a more aggressive person, and he is not complacent and indulged in pleasure because of the shadow of his predecessors and past achievements.

Although it was not his wish to leave Heyang this time, and the handover of work with Ke Zhu Hunyuan was not very smooth, after Hu Luguang entered the country, it coincided with the crisis of the rebellion in Northern Yuzhou and the imminent invasion of the Wei army, so he did not complain, but actively reorganized the army.

After learning that the Wei army was about to invade the east, Zhu Hunyuan no longer stayed in Heyang to continue to entangle, but returned to Yedu Chaozhong. This also allowed Hu Luguang to adjust and dispatch the personnel of the Heyang army, and replace Ke Zhu Hunyuan's generals with his own cronies to strengthen his control over the Heyang army.

After the reorganization of the army was completed, the latest instructions from the Yedu side were also issued, and the army of Heyang needed to go south first and supervise the men and horses between Heluo and Luo, so as to intercept the forward divisions and brigades that attacked the Western Wei army.

After receiving this order, Hu Lüguang led his troops across the river, set up his camp in the south of Heyang, and ordered Dugu Yongye, the assassin of Luozhou in Kim Yong City, to send scouts to investigate the enemy's tracks and movements and report at any time, while Hu Lüguang led another group of men and horses to the east, wanting to capture the rebellious city of Tiger Prison City before the Wei army arrived in Heluo.

However, the progress of Hu Luguang's attack on Tiger Prison City was not smooth, Tiger Prison City was set up near the river, backed by the plateau, and the terrain was steep compared to Tongguan. In particular, this city as an important channel and material transfer center connecting Henan, the city originally gathered a large number of materials, after the people and horses of Xiangcheng in the Western Wei Dynasty entered the city to garrison, the number of defenders in the city was nearly 10,000, and there were many soldiers to help defend the city.

Today's Tiger Prison City has a considerable number of defenders, and the materials are abundant, and the city gate passages are all blocked from the inside.

For this reason, he even transferred the 20,000 forbidden troops who arrived here to participate in the siege, and tried to climb over the plateau and set up a trench to intercept it in the east of the Tiger Prison City, creating a lonely city dilemma, but the defenders in the city were still stubborn and did not panic and surrender.

Because he was too focused on the attack on Tiger Prison City, Dugu Yongye in the other direction had a lot of complaints. It must be known that the greatest threat will come from the enemy from the west, and at present, although the Western Wei army has not yet advanced into the Luoxi region, it is also beginning to move in all directions.

Especially in the Xin'an area, which is closer to Luoyang, it is located in the middle of the Beikuo Road, in the old year, because the Western Wei Dynasty betrayed the previous Luoshui Alliance and sent troops to Huainan to help fight the Southern Dynasty, in order to retaliate against the Western Wei, the army of Heluo had attacked the west to capture the Han Guancheng and destroyed the city. Now, Han Xiong, the general of the Western Wei Dynasty, sent his soldiers into the hometown of Hanguan and set up a camp fence in an attempt to restore the city here.

Although Kim Yong Cheng has more than 20,000 defenders, it is distributed among the cities between Heluo, and when the enemy forces in Yiyang and Xin'an are ready to move, it is difficult to be well prepared by the men and horses of Dugu Yongye alone.

Therefore, Dugu Yongye's envoys begged Hu Luguang, who was still busy attacking Tiger Prison City, several times, hoping that his people would not be so stubborn, or should focus on the overall situation and strengthen the arrangement of men and horses in the Luoxi area. Otherwise, when the Western Wei army pours in, I am afraid it will be difficult to intercept and control.

"Li Boshan is good at using odds, and he uses tricks wherever people can't plan. Now the Tiger Prison City seems to be trapped in a dead end, not a big disaster, if the two armies really fight each other for a long time, I am afraid that this moment will become a thorn in my heart!"

Hu Luguang didn't think that Tiger Prison City was insignificant in the course of the next battle and could be ignored, or he didn't believe that Li Boshan's response to the rebellion of Northern Yuzhou was just to repeat the Battle of Bishan again.

Their Northern Qi generals who have fought with Li Boshan will more or less leave some shadows in their hearts, Hu Luguang not only has he been defeated by his hands, but even his father was defeated by Li Boshan and committed suicide, which is also unavoidable.

It's just that unlike Ke Zhu Hunyuan's attitude of shrinking back and being conservative, avoiding the enemy and not fighting, Hu Luguang hopes to do his best to sweep away all hidden factors before the two sides officially fight, and then devote himself to fighting Li Boshan without distraction.

Under the repeated attacks of Hu Luguang, although the Tiger Prison City is still holding on, the situation is already quite critical.

The thick mound under the city has been

After being pierced through several tunnels, the outer city wall also collapsed, under the fighting of Zheng Wei and the pioneers, it was not easy to stabilize the city defense here, and took advantage of the temporary retreat of the enemy army to try to repair the city defense with earth, stone and wood fence.

"Xiangcheng Gong, may I ask Prime Minister Li Dacheng that the reinforcements will arrive in time? Hu Lu Mingyue is a strong general of the thief country, if you let the city be besieged again, I am afraid it will be difficult to garrison it for a long time......

Seeing that the situation of the city's defense was becoming more and more unstable, Sima couldn't help but become apprehensive, and took advantage of Zheng Wei's retreat into the inner city to recuperate, and said, "Now the Qi army is attacking the city very fiercely, probably because he deeply hates me for throwing himself into Wei to cause chaos. If there is, if there is a chance, if you can secretly send me out of the city and go to Guanzhong first, maybe the enemy attack will not be so fierce."

This guy also defected to Wei before because he was timid and afraid of death, but now he saw that the Qi army was attacking fiercely and the defense of the tiger prison was already in danger, of course, he couldn't help but be afraid, and began to think about escaping to a safe place, and did not dare to continue to hold on to the city.

But these words are just to coax fools, Zheng Wei's temperament is already irritable and fierce, and after days of fierce battles defending the city, all the soldiers and soldiers have also suffered a lot of losses.

When he heard that Sima Xiaonan wanted to abandon the city and flee, he couldn't control his emotions even a little, and pulled out his saber to put it on Sima Xiaonan's neck and shouted angrily: "Today, my soldiers are throwing their blood in this city, isn't it to guard you and others? Now I am still waiting to fight to the death, and you dare to flee! There are only heroes and martyrs in this city, and no one abandons the city and flees!"

Seeing this, all the members of the Sima Elimination Department also rushed up, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and there was a tendency to be angry on the spot if they disagreed, or Pei Zao hurried over after hearing the news, and apologized again and again before recovering Sima from Zheng Wei's knife.

After this incident, Sima was indignant, and after returning to the house, he pointed at Pei Zao and scolded: "Dog thief, dementia dog thief, tempted me to defect to the Qiang people, but the Qiang people didn't come to save me, you hurt me!"

Pei Zao also had a bitter remark about this, but he just lowered his head and silently endured Sima Xiao's scolding.

Although the conflict did not break out, the atmosphere of harmony between the two sides no longer existed. Sima summoned his men into the inner city, while the outer city was defended by Zheng Wei and other Wei troops and the assembled city soldiers and people.

Naturally, such a situation could not be maintained for a long time, and as the enemy's fierce offensive continued, the situation in the city's defense became more severe, and relations between them would inevitably deteriorate, and it was only a matter of time before infighting began.

Therefore, in this kind of battle to defend the city, in addition to the terrain and grain and grass materials, people's hearts are also the key factors affecting the victory or defeat, even if the materials in the city are still very rich, but with the change of people's hearts, the situation has become precarious.

Hu Luguang supervised the battle and stormed the city day after day, and he was also keenly aware of the subtle changes in the city's defense. Although he did not know exactly what was happening in the city, he also felt that the defenders' counterattack was not as firm as before, and he was in a good mood, so he planned to continue to strengthen the offensive, and strive to capture the Tiger Prison City in one go, and completely solve this hidden danger before the arrival of the main army of the Western Wei Dynasty.

However, at this time, there was an astonishing news from the west: the Western Wei army would not come to Heluo, because they directly crossed the river to the north and killed in the direction of Jinzhou!

Hu Luguang, who was supervising the battle under the Tiger Prison City, after learning about this, the whole person was suddenly struck by lightning, and he could no longer care about supervising the battle here, when he left the Tiger Prison City, he quickly rode to Kim Yong City, and when he saw Dugu Yongye, he quickly asked, "Is the news true?"

Dugu Yongye nodded with a heavy expression, and then said in a thin voice: "First of all, the Xin'an thieves announced Han Mulan's envoys, and then there were many ferries along the river in Heyin and other places to salvage them, and scouted a few Yuelingling, and indeed there was no army of Qiang thieves......

"Li Boshan, Li Boshan, it's really deceitful!"

Hu Luguang also felt cold after hearing this, he had been faintly feeling something wrong in his heart before, but he couldn't say what was wrong, only that the nail in the Tiger Prison City had not been removed, and now he finally woke up after the news, but it was a little late.

"Did you report the news to Heyang? Does the King of the Plains have any orders?"

After a moment of silence, Hu Luguang hurriedly asked again.

Dugu Yongye nodded first, and then turned around

He also said, "King Duan ordered the lowly rank to guard the city first, not to slacken, and asked the king to return to Heyang quickly to discuss countermeasures."

After hearing this, Hu Lüguang didn't say anything more, and even left Kim Yong City again and headed straight for Heyang.

At this time, there are many fences along the north and south of the river in Heyang, and there are criss-crossing ditches to resist horses, and the city walls of the three cities of Heyang are also reinforced and thickened, and they look well-guarded. And this scene is especially ridiculous at the moment, their hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been working here diligently for many days, day and night, and as a result, the defense line they have built is completely useless!

Duan Shao, who had just settled in Heyang Beicheng, was also anxious at this time, and when he saw Hu Luguang entering from a layman, he quickly stood up and said, "The incident happened suddenly, the enemy's movement has not yet been clarified, I need to return to Yedu as soon as possible to report to the imperial court and discuss countermeasures, and Heyang will pay Mingyue here."

Hu Luguang nodded after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice: "If the situation in Fenjiang turns vicious, can the people of Heyang act cheaply?"

When Duan Shao heard this, he asked again, "What do you want?"

"If Jinju can hold on to each other and make it difficult for thieves to enter, then I want to lead the Heluo Division Brigade to break through Cuihan and go straight to Tongguan to shake Guanxi! If the situation is critical and rescue is urgently needed, then go west to Yiguan and disturb the hinterland east of the river to choke the back road of the thieves."

Although things turned out to be contrary to his previous expectations, on the way from Kim Yong Cheng to Heyang, Hu Luguang was also thinking about countermeasures, and considering different situations, he conceived two rescue plans with different priorities.

After listening to this, Duan Shao pondered for a moment, and after a while then spoke again: "Entering the Tong Pass, the road is far and blocked, the current crisis is already imminent, I am afraid it is difficult to deal with such a difficult use of troops. If you take the pass, the road is treacherous, and the teacher is vulnerable. If you have to do it, you can wait for Ye Du's order to be conveyed."
