"Lord, that Guo Shi actually really attacked Lingling County, his courage is really not small, I underestimate him."

After Yuan Zhou received the news, he immediately showed surprise.

As far as Yuan Zhou is concerned, when he was under Ou Xing's command before, he knew something about the copycat forces near Jingzhou.

He is also clear about the name of Guo Shi, although he has not had much contact with Guo Shi and has no intersection, but in Yuan Zhou's opinion, Guo Shi, like Ou Xing and others, is just the king of the mountain, and he does not have too much ambition, if there is no opportunity, he should not take the initiative to attack the county.

This time, Guo Shi's appearance really surprised Yuan Zhou, he dared to attack the city with only thousands of his own soldiers and horses, and he was about to conquer the entire Lingling County, which was rare in the entire Han court.

However, although Guo Shi was able to defeat Lingling County, he may not be able to defend Lingling County, at this time he launched an uprising against the imperial court, which was to take advantage of the fact that the imperial court had not yet reacted, and when the Jingzhou Prefecture Pastor issued by the imperial court arrived, he would definitely regroup and begin to regain lost territory.

The counterattack against Guo Shi will gradually unfold, and Guo Shi will not be as easy as it is now.

Liu Zheng got reliable news that the Jingzhou Governor was the famous Liu Biao in history.

Most of the first batch of state pastors in the imperial court were served by the Han clan relatives, whether it was Liu Yan, or Liu Biao, or even Liu Yu of Youzhou, or even Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Liu Miao of Yangzhou and others, all of whom were Han clan relatives.

This first batch of Han clan relatives was equivalent to the princes and kings of the Western Han Dynasty, and they were responsible for quelling rebellions in the county.

Liu Zheng got the news that a month ago, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, had arrived and was uniting the major families in Xiangyang, wanting to get the support of several major families in Jingzhou, as long as he had the support of the powerful gatekeeper, Liu Biao would be able to control the entire Jingzhou in a short period of time.

When the time comes, reorganize Jingzhou's military strength, and once Liu Biao has a firm foothold in Jingzhou, Liu Biao will definitely exterminate Guo Shi and other rebels who committed rebellion.

Moreover, in the past half a month, the imperial court has already appointed many state ministers, and these state ministers have begun to take office one after another. The disputes in the Han Dynasty will also begin to be gradually quelled by these state ministers.

Especially the war in Xiliang and the war in Jizhou, the battles of these two major battlefields, whether they were quelled by either side, could make the war-ridden Han Dynasty get out of the battle.

When the time comes, I will free up my hands and feet, and then slowly clean up those small rebel forces.

Guo Shi rebelled against the imperial court at this time, most likely because he didn't know that the imperial court had sent the state pastor to suppress the rebellion. However, this also gave Liu Zheng some opportunities, with Guo Shi here to help attract Liu Biao's attention, he Liu Zheng could feel a little at ease and use his main force to deal with Zhu Fu in Jiaozhou.

Of course, if Liu Biao wants to unify the entire Jingzhou and regain its strength, it is far from being able to do it in a while, so this Guo Shi will definitely be able to get away with it for a few more months.

All the battle situation still depends on whether Guo Shi can improve his strength to the point where he can compete with Liu Biao in just a few months.

"This Guo Shi can't take down Lingling County with his own strength alone, he should have the guidance of a master behind him, or the barbarians he united with have ambitions and want to take advantage of the chaos in the world to come out and make trouble."

Liu Zheng and Yuan Zhou discussed Guo Shi, and he expressed his opinion of Guo Shi.

That Zhou Chao was disdainful and immediately responded to Liu Zheng.

"Lord, Guo Shi is just a barbarian with barbarian blood, how can he have any ambitions, I think he must have been bewitched."

"No matter what, it doesn't matter to us, the original plan was to cooperate with Guo Shi, and now he took the initiative to attack Jingzhou, attracting the idea of those officials and soldiers in Jingzhou for us, which can be regarded as helping us in disguise, and then we will mainly focus on Jiaozhou."

Liu Zheng was slightly interested in Guo Shi's guidance, but the top priority was not for him to get involved with Guo Shi.

"My lord, what are we going to do next? Do we continue to unite with that Guo Shi, or let them make trouble here and we go to Jiaozhou ourselves? ”

Yuan Zhou asked Liu Zheng, wanting to hear Liu Zheng describe his next plans.

Yuan Zhou's inquiry made Liu Zheng start to think about his next plans.

Originally, his plan was to unite Guo Shi and others to gradually approach the direction of Jiaozhou in the south, and encroach on the nearby Shanyue soldiers and horses little by little.

But now that Guo Shi has attacked Lingling County, Liu Zheng still needs to fight alone, and in the next period of time, he still decided to use his current soldiers and horses. Attack the small tribes of Shanyue on this side.

In this way, after making the next plan, time flashed, and two months passed.

In two months, Liu Zheng let his generals gradually approach the deep mountains in the direction of Jiaozhou, and swept away seven or eight small Shanyue tribes in one fell swoop.

Of these seven or eight Shanyue tribes, the big ones are only four or five thousand, and the small ones are even only one or two thousand. After Liu Zheng's army arrived, it didn't take much effort, and they were successfully wiped out in three or two days.

In two months, the soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command were expanded again, and the number of soldiers and horses and people under his jurisdiction finally exceeded 100,000!

Don't look at 100,000 people, in fact, it is only a population of 20,000 or 30,000 households.

In Jiaozhou, there are more than 200,000 households in this time period. In this way, it is speculated that there are more than one million people in Jiaozhou.

Moreover, Jiaozhou is still a remote mountainous area, far from the poor countryside of the Central Plains.

For example, in the Central Plains, there are millions or even nearly 10 million people in a single state and county.

Liu Zheng's 100,000 people were just a drop in the ocean for the entire Han court.

In two months, Liu Zheng had almost swept away the surrounding Shanyue forces, extending his territory to the border area of Jiaozhou.

The same thing that happened in the past two months finally made Liu Zheng realize that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for him.

In the past two months, Guo Shi's uprising has become more and more huge, not only has the entire Lingling County been defeated, but also a large number of people have been recruited in Lingling County in a short period of time.

The soldiers and horses under his command once changed from 10,000 people at the beginning to more than 30,000. And the rebel forces from the very beginning of Lingling County, gradually spread to the surrounding areas, two months, has been laid Lingling County, Guiyang County, Changsha County, three counties.
