The soldiers and horses of Liu Biao and Sun Jian on the Jingzhou side combined were more than 40,000 people, although there were more than 30,000 people with the help of Gan Ning, plus some people from Guo Shi's headquarters, but if there were no 10,000 elites brought by Liu Zheng later, the men and horses on both sides of Guo Shi and Gan Ning alone would definitely not be able to confront Liu Biao and Sun Jian's army.

After all, although the men and horses under Guo Shi are not bad, compared with Liu Biao and Sun Jian's men, the gap is still very large, even if they are the same number of people, they may not be able to defeat their opponents. Not to mention when there are fewer people.

Among the 40,000 soldiers and horses, if there were no 10,000 soldiers and horses brought over by Liu Zheng, Guo Shi's situation would still not be good.

Fortunately, now, with Liu Zheng's support, Guo Shi finally felt a little more at ease.

With Liu Zheng's support, Guo Shi's confidence in confronting Sun Jian and Liu Biao is also greater, even if he can't defeat the two, it is always okay to stalemate with each other.

Anyway, at this time, the imperial court should not have time to take care of this small Jingzhou land, the rebellion of Beigong Boyu in Xiliang, the commotion is getting bigger and bigger, and the battlefield in Jizhou seems to have restrained a large number of soldiers and horses in the imperial court.

At this time, the imperial court had no time to separate, so it could only let Liu Biao and Sun Jian destroy Guo Shi by themselves.

"First tell me about the current situation in Jingzhou."

Liu Zheng's spies, although they have extended their claws to Jingzhou, but Liu Zheng didn't care too much about the war in Jingzhou during this time, and now that he has pacified Jiaozhou, it's time to take Jingzhou down.

After Liu Zheng asked, Guo Shi immediately described it to Liu Zheng.

"Liu Zhengqu Shuai, before our uprising, smooth sailing, has occupied several states and counties in Jingzhou, at that time, the imperial court has not organized manpower to counterattack, only one Jingzhou assassin Wang Rui led a part of the men and horses to defend, but later, Liu Biao appeared, he led several major families in Jingzhou, united with Sun Jian, attacked from north to south, the soldiers were divided into two roads, and the men and horses who killed me were defeated."

"Many of the generals under my command died at the hands of Liu Biao and Sun Jian, and now they are still in the territory controlled by us, leaving Wuling County and Lingling County, and even Guiyang County, I am afraid that it will also fall into the hands of Sun Jian."

"Nanjun was recaptured by Liu Biao, if we want to deal with Liu Biao and Sun Jian, we must first snatch Guiyang County back, and then further kill Changsha County, so as to attack the entire Jingzhou."

Guo Shi briefly described his uprising, summarized the reasons for the failure, and told Liu Zheng his next plan.

But after Liu Zheng heard Guo Shi's words, he didn't agree, and quickly shook his head, if it was really as Guo Shi said, it would not be so easy to fight with Liu Biao and Sun Jian.

"The matter of counterattack, first slow down, now what we have to do is not to counterattack, but to stabilize the situation, defend the city, take the initiative to attack, not to mention the loss of troops, but can not take any advantage, it is better to defend according to the city, and turn the initiative into passivity."

After Liu Zheng listened to Guo Shi's description, he soon had some plans in his heart.

"Defensive?"

Guo Shi is actually more inclined to take the initiative to attack, because if he doesn't attack and blindly defends, the money and food under his command will not be replenished, and it will only be constantly consumed.

Fortunately, Guo Shi snatched enough money and grain a while ago, plus a lot of soldiers and horses who were killed and wounded, the grain and grass are enough for the time being, and it will not be unbearable for a while.

Guo Shi did not object to Liu Zheng's proposal, and now after seeing the strength of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, Guo Shi has made up his mind that he must hug Liu Zheng's thighs well, and only by cooperating with Liu Zheng can he resist the attacks of Sun Jian and Liu Biao.

After understanding the current situation, Liu Zheng quickly said goodbye to Guo Shi and let Guo Shi leave, and after that, only Liu Zheng's own cronies were left in this hall.

After seeing Gan Ning, Zhou Chao and others, Liu Zheng reopened his mouth to Gan Ning.

"Xingba, what are the casualties of our army?"

Compared with Guo Shi, Liu Zheng is more concerned about the people under his command.

"Lord, our casualties are not many, and Sun Jian's battle, but more than a thousand people were killed and wounded, and later I recruited hundreds of people to fill the deficit in Wuling County, and now there are almost no losses."

"That's good, in fact, it's easy to deal with Sun Jian, and even we can get Sun Jian done without much effort, but it's not good for us to get rid of Sun Jian."

The reason why Liu Zheng did not take the initiative to attack, but adopted a defensive policy, also had his own plans.

Just one Sun Jian, with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, seems to be powerful, but Liu Zheng is still very sure that he can eliminate this guy.

But once Liu Zheng eliminated Sun Jian, with Liu Biao's strength, he would definitely not be able to block Liu Zheng and Guo Shi's two ways alone.

The final result was that Liu Zheng and Guo Shi's men defeated Liu Biao and occupied Jingzhou, and Guo Shi's uprising became more and more noisy.

Eventually, it attracted the attention of the imperial court.

Don't look at it, Liu Zheng is not afraid of the imperial court at all now, and openly opposes the imperial court and occupies the entire Jiaozhou.

That's because Jiaozhou is very far away from the Central Plains, even if the imperial court wants to move him, the soldiers and horses who have traveled a long distance will come over a few months later, and Liu Zheng can rely on the terrain and slowly negotiate with the imperial court.

But once he occupied Jingzhou, it was different.

Jingzhou is too close to the Luoyang court. Above Nanyang is Hongnong County, next to Luoyang, and the cavalry even only needs two or three days to kill Jingzhou.

Once the imperial court organizes troops and horses to attack Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng's current strength may not be a problem to block 350,000 people, but once the imperial court transfers men and horses from other surrounding counties and counties to continue to besiege Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng's current strength is simply impossible to stop more than 100,000 troops.

So Liu Zheng can only wait, and wait for the world to be more chaotic, only when the court is so chaotic that he can't take care of himself and has no time to pay attention to Liu Zheng, is the time for Liu Zheng to take Jingzhou.

Now he has to lie dormant, and he can't make too much noise to avoid attracting too much attention from the court.

And Sun Jian and Liu Biao's men and horses are stationed nearby, which is not a way.

Liu Zheng pondered.

At this time, Yuan Zhou opened his mouth to say a word.

"Lord, I heard that Guo Shi said that Sun Jian and Liu Biao seem to be at odds, can we do something about this?"

"Sun Jian and Liu Biao are not in harmony? How so? ”

When Liu Zheng heard Yuan Zhou's words, he frowned, and asked immediately.

"This matter has to start with Sun Jian being named Changsha Taishou."
