Guo Shi, this guy, sits on the land of four counties, and it seems that he has already controlled half of Jingzhou, and if he continues to develop, it is not impossible for Jingzhou to be defeated.

But after all, the bandit uprising, that's it, as soon as the population is large, as soon as the army is large, factions will begin to appear.

Several powerful generals under Guo Shi occupied the territory of a state and county, and after occupying the territory, they did not want to forge ahead, did not continue to expand their strength, and wanted to attack other counties and counties.

Instead, they were content with pleasure, burning, killing and looting, spreading in the four counties of Jingnan, and suddenly complained, and the people of Jingzhou were miserable and began to flee to the surrounding counties.

Many people went to Jiaozhou, Yangzhou and other places, and at the same time, Sun Jian arrived, although Sun Jian only had 4,000 soldiers and horses, but with Liu Biao's 20,000 counterinsurgency army, one way from Beijiang Xia County to Wuling direction, the other way, Sun Jian's army, from Changsha from east to west.

The two armies gradually began to sweep away Guo Shi's forces in Jingnan, and those armies under Guo Shi's original command suffered heavy losses after being attacked several times by Liu Biao's men and horses.

Although Guo Shi's main force has been attacking Nanjun and has not met with Liu Biao's army, Liu Biao's people, after clearing many small units under Guo Shi's command, gradually let Guo Shi's morale begin to decline.

At the same time, Sun Jian's army on the other side, relying on a mere 4,000 people, was like a sharp knife, detouring from Yuzhang County and directly killing Changsha County, and beating back Changsha County, which was occupied by Guo Shi.

And relying on his identity as the new Taishou of Changsha County, he recruited thousands of recruits in Changsha County, and in a short period of time, he directly formed a force of nearly 10,000 people and began to launch a counterattack against Guo Shi.

Guo Shi had just conquered Nanjun here, but found that his back road was cut off by Liu Biao and Sun Jian, in order to prevent Liu Biao and Sun Jian's men and horses from converging, otherwise it would be more difficult to deal with, so he gave up continuing to attack Jingzhou, and instead led his soldiers and horses to kill back from Nanjun.

Although Guo Shi had an army of 30,000, he suffered a crushing defeat after being ambushed by Sun Jian's people, not only did Guo Shi's two lieutenants die directly, but even Guo Shi himself was injured and fled, and the 30,000 army suffered heavy losses, only a few thousand people escaped.

Sun Jian killed most of Guo Shi's men and horses, leaving only a few thousand people, and surrendered to the army.

After a big defeat, Guo Shi's army, which was originally fierce and spread to the land of the four counties, quickly collapsed after Guo Shi's defeat.

In just half a month, the land of the four counties was subdued by Liu Biao and Sun Jian.

Only the last two places occupied by Wuling County and Lingling County were still struggling to support. At the same time, the army that had originally developed close to 100,000 was less than 30,000 by this time.

However, Liu Biao's army to quell the rebellion has changed from 20,000 people at the beginning, and has become 30,000 people more and more.

Sun Jian is even more powerful, at the beginning there were only 4,000 people, but after half a month, it developed into an army of 15,000 people, not only occupying Changsha County, but also Guiyang County has occupied most of it, as if he wants to swallow the four counties of Jingnan.

Of course, these things happened in Jingzhou, not Jiaozhou, and Liu Zheng, who was far away in Jiaozhou, was not clear at this time.

He was still preparing how to deal with the combined forces of Zhang Ying and Zhu Fu.

At this time, Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying had successfully gathered their soldiers and horses, adding up to a total of 50,000 troops, and they had gradually begun to appear outside Hepu City.

Only a month has passed, but the offensive and defensive sides have changed.

A month ago, Liu Zheng attacked Zhu Fu's Hepu City here, but only a month later, Liu Zheng became in Hepu City, and Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying's men attacked him.

Liu Zheng is not afraid of siege warfare, so where would he be afraid of defensive warfare.

After these days, the soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command have continued to expand, and now Liu Zheng can be regarded as having four battalions of soldiers and horses.

Although the main force only had 8,000 people in Xu Huang's first battalion, Huang Zhong's second battalion had 10,000 people, and the rest of Gan Ning and Zhou Cang had 10,000 people, they were all newly recruited recruits and had only been trained for more than a month.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses led by Gan Ning at this time were stationed in Yulin County and did not return to Hepu City.

At this time, Liu Zheng was in Hepu City, in fact, there were less than 30,000 soldiers and horses. But these 30,000 soldiers and horses are more than enough to deal with the 50,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Zhu Fu, even if it is a siege battle, Liu Zheng is very sure.

However, in order to reduce the losses as much as possible and wipe out Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying's men and horses, Liu Zheng still did not act rashly, and waited until Zhang Ying and Zhu Fu led the soldiers and horses to Hepu City, and when the two sides faced each other face to face again, Liu Zheng gradually sent his soldiers and horses to the four walls of Hepu City, wanting to have a big battle with their soldiers and horses here first and consume the opponent's troops.

Outside Hepu City, a general with a long beard and wearing armor rode out of the army, holding a long knife, which looked extremely heavy, and seemed to be powerful and powerful, with a bit of martial arts.

Before the general walked out of the formation, he glanced at Liu Zheng on the city tower.

A moment later, he shouted at the castle tower.

"Dog thief Liu Zheng, don't go out of the city quickly and die!"

The man's voice was loud, and it was transmitted directly from the city to the city tower, so that Liu Zheng heard it, and he couldn't help but feel that the military general in front of him had a really loud voice.

Liu Zheng looked at the general in front of him.

Then a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

"Presumably Your Excellency is Zhang Ying, the general under Liu Xuan, Yangzhou, you don't want to stay in your Yangzhou, but you went to Jiaozhou to stir up this troubled water, do you think your life is too long?"

Liu Zheng didn't have a good impression of Zhang Ying, and this guy was aggressive, which made Liu Zheng lose interest in him.

"You and other dog thieves are rebellious in the court, and I, as the Great Han Heavenly Army, should clean up your rebellions!"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, you will enter the city, and the master will let you see how good I am."

Liu Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he sent him away in a few sentences.

Zhang Ying held the big knife, but did not attack, and quietly returned to his big tent after showing off his might under Liu Zhengcheng.

Not long after Zhang Ying returned to the big tent, Zhu Fu and other generals also came to the big tent.

"General Zhang Ying, it is impossible for Liu Zheng to be tricked out of the city by our tactics to fight us, it seems that we have to deal with him in another way!"

Zhu Fu immediately said a word to Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying's face was solemn, although there were 50,000 people on their side, they were facing Liu Zheng in the city. Zhang Ying is actually not too sure.

"My lord, I have a plan, maybe it works!"

Yu Bao, as Zhu Fu's strategist, immediately opened his mouth at this time, so that everyone present looked at Yu Bao.
