Fu Yuan was stationed in Luoyang City at the moment, and after the defeat of the eastward attack on the Tiger Prison, Fu Yuan had no choice but to garrison troops in Luoyang, waiting for Yuwen to come to Tongguan to respond.

A few days ago, Min Shiyuan, the second son of Min Guan, led 60,000 troops to aid the Tiger Prison, and launched a field battle with Fu Yuan on the plain.

Fu Yuan despised Min Shiyuan very much, and felt that this son had such a meritorious feat because of his father's budding shadow, so he did not line up according to danger, but lined up on the plain.

Min Shiyuan can be said to be fully prepared, using the 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry sent by Zhao Zhao as the vanguard, directly tearing Fu Yuan's army formation apart, and then the infantry fighting vehicles formed a formation, slowly advancing, Fu Yuan's army formation was broken into two, and Fu Yuan could only lead the crowd to fight with the main force of Min Shiyuan's infantry army in the front, but the Bingzhou cavalry was accustomed to guerrilla warfare, and there were hundreds of cavalry rushing to kill the army formation, causing Fu Yuan's army to almost collapse.

At the same time, Min Shiyuan ordered the general Gao Beiyong to go around to the rear of Fu Yuan's army from the side, although there were only 3,000 people, but the rear army, which had already cut off contact with Fu Yuan, was instantly in chaos, and directly gave up Fu Yuan and ran for his life.

After Fu Yuan killed the Bingzhou cavalry, the whole person was stupid in an instant, and the rear army was gone, Fu Yuan had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat, and Min Shiyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue twenty miles before quitting.

Fu Yuan suffered heavy losses in this battle, with more than 20,000 killed, more than 10,000 captured, and tens of thousands missing.

After that battle, Fu Yuan could only stick to Luoyang, but after all, Luoyang is the eastern capital of Northern Qin, although the city is tall, but after all, the city is large, Fu Yuan's remaining troops are a little thin, and in desperation, Fu Yuan sent the people in Luoyang City to defend the city, resulting in the uneven combat strength of Fu Yuan's corporaries.

Yuwen Zhi had already left Tongguan at this moment, ready to rescue Fu Yuan at any time, but on the way, Yuwen Zhi received another bad news, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Duan led an army of 50,000 and also entered the Henan battlefield, which immediately made the 30,000 army in Yuwenzhi's hands a little insufficient.

Yuwenzhi immediately informed Fu Yuan of the news, and Fu Yuan was quite frightened, so he ordered the transfer of troops from Pengcheng.

But he was dissuaded by the marching Sima Pei Tao: "General, the Southern Qi army is attacking Shouchun and Hefei, if the troops of Pengcheng are exhausted, the Southern Qi army will take advantage of the situation to attack Pengcheng, and we will have no foothold in Lianghuai. ”

Although Fu Yuan felt that Pei Fu's words were reasonable, but now the situation was tense, if he did not transfer troops from Pengcheng, he would not be able to keep the land of Henan, and even if he retreated to Pengcheng at that time, he would be attacked by Southern Qi and Eastern Qin, and he would inevitably be defeated.

Fu Yuan had no choice but to say: "There is no way to transfer Pengcheng soldiers, now the Southern Qi is attacking Hefei and Shouchun, and the land of Southern Yuzhou is also obtained by Southern Qi, if we lose in Luoyang, we can only survive for a few months when we return to Pengcheng, whether it is Nanqi or Minguan, we are powerless to resist, and now Qingzhou is also sending troops to attack us at this time, this is already showing that we support Minguan, and we will be attacked on three sides, how can we be undefeated?" ”

Pei Tao knew that he couldn't persuade Fu Yuan, so he had to let it go, and Fu Yuan immediately ordered the transfer of troops from Pengcheng and other places, and transferred 50,000 troops before and after.

When the news reached Min Shiyuan's ears, Min Shiyuan was suddenly shocked: "Fu Yuan's troops of the two Huai will also defend Luoyang, so that the Lianghuai region will be occupied by the Southern Qi." ”

Min Shiyuan didn't particularly care about Fu Yuan, unless Western Qin made a big support, otherwise it would be enough to take Fu Yuan with his men, but Fu Yuan's behavior of transferring troops made Min Shiyuan very annoyed, he might be pressing too hard, so the longer he confronted Fu Yuan in Luoyang, the more beneficial it would be to Southern Qi.

Huo Zhen, the general of the Eastern Qin Hussars, saw that Min Shiyuan was worried, and immediately said: "The marshal shouldn't think so much at this time, the land of the four battles in Pengcheng, even if it is ceded to Southern Qi first, then we will send troops from Qingzhou and Luoyang together, and we can recapture it if we want to, but now Fu Yuan is desperate, and he still has to concentrate on the current war." Now Zhao Zhao and Duan have troops coming, all because of Min Xiang, if the marshal wants to inherit the position of Min Xiang in the future, he must conquer Luoyang by thunderbolt means, so that the two are convinced. ”

Min Shiyuan nodded at this time, it is true, although Min Guan intends to make him the son of the world, but Dongqin is now like Zhou Tianzi, and Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou are all warlords, if they are weak and incompetent, then these people will definitely not put themselves in their eyes.

Min Shiyuan then asked Ji Huo Zhen: "Now that Li Sizheng has also led the crowd to come, our army has already stationed 120,000 troops in Heyang, why don't you take advantage of Yuwenzhi's arrival to storm a wave of Luoyang?"

Huo Zhen shook his head: "It can't be like this, if the army can't attack the city for days, not to mention the low morale, if Yuwen attacks from behind, the army advances and retreats, at this time, we should first send troops to Suiyang, intercept Pengcheng reinforcements here, if we can defeat the reinforcements in one fell swoop, we can capture Pengcheng without blood, if we can't completely defeat, just drive this part of the reinforcements back to Pengcheng, then it will take more time for Southern Qi to conquer Pengcheng, the soldiers are expensive and fast, and the opportunity cannot be lost." ”

At this time, the sword in Min Shiyuan's hand kept wandering around the map, but he still had some scruples, and the part of the city along the way was still under Fu Yuan's control, and he was afraid of being attacked by Fu Yuan's defenders from behind.

Huo Zhen saw Min Shiyuan's thoughts, and said to him: "Fu Yuan is now entrenched in Luoyang, and the surrounding cities will not have too many troops, and it is difficult to protect themselves, so where can they dare to attack." As long as the Pengcheng reinforcements are defeated, their crowds will collapse. ”

Min Shiyuan was shocked after hearing this, and immediately ordered Han Yanhao, the general of the Bingzhou Army, to lead an army of 30,000 to block the reinforcements of Pengcheng, and ordered Huo Zhen to lead 30,000 troops to cross the river to Hongnong to delay Yuwenzhi, and he took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack the counties around Luoyang.

After Wei Ran captured Shouchun, he did not rush to use troops in the direction of Pengcheng, but planned to attack Xuanjun with Wang Xian.

At this time, Wei Ran had learned of Zhang Da's death, determined to avenge Zhang Da, although Liu Renye and others agreed that they should return to the army to attack Hefei first, but Wei Ran immediately opposed, said: "Now Pei Tu led people to besiege Hefei, 30,000 people and 100,000 people are not much different, as long as the Hefei defenders can't get out of the city, sooner or later they will collapse, if we wait for the army to retreat to Hefei, it will be inappropriate, the top priority is to quickly attack the hanging gourd, occupy the key point between the two Huai and Henan, and take advantage of the situation to avenge Zhang Da." ”

Zhang Gui knew that Wei Ran was quite righteous, so he grabbed Liu Renye, who still wanted to dissuade Wei Ran, and Liu Renye was pulled by Zhang Gui before he came to his senses. Wei Ran is quite dictatorial, and if he blindly opposes it, he is afraid that he will bring disaster to himself.

Just when Wei Ran was arranging the march, suddenly a piece of news made Wei Ran change his mind.

"Pengcheng's elite is exhausted, Pengcheng's emptiness is a good opportunity for the world!"
