Chapter 229: The Jingzhou Rebellion

Liu Zheng seemed to have something to say when he saw Yuan Zhou.

When even let him speak his mind.

"Mr. Yuan Zhou, if you have any way, just say it, if it is feasible, follow the plan you said."

"My lord, I also have some opinions after hearing Na Shixie's thoughts, you listen to me."

"Previously, we repelled Zhu Fu in Hepu City, according to the lord, this Zhu Fu is bound to learn a lesson, no matter how we fight him next, he will definitely defend with all his strength, and will not take the initiative to attack and fight against us. It will be more difficult to defeat him, or capture him alive. ”

"But now that there are 30,000 reinforcements from Yangzhou, as long as both of them are on the line, Zhu Fu will definitely think that relying on Yangzhou's reinforcements is enough to fight with us, and when the time comes, he will inevitably fall into the plan, and take the initiative to lead men and horses from Jiaozhi County to meet with Yangzhou reinforcements and deal with our army together."

"In this way, although the meeting of their troops and horses will be more stressful for our army, if Shi Xie can really persuade his son and younger brother to rebel and give us some opportunities to directly enter the city, and kill Zhu Fu and others without knowing it, this battle that seems to be unfavorable to us is actually our advantage."

"Not only can you defeat Zhu Fu in one fell swoop, but you can also take advantage of the situation to let those reinforcements from Yangzhou also be cleaned up. It's a lot of money. ”

Yuan Zhou told everyone present his thoughts at this time, and it was immediately recognized by everyone.

Yuan Zhou's plan can actually be regarded as a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Originally, Shi Xie's proposal was mainly used to deal with Zhu Fu and others, but at this time, Yuan Zhou said that it could be used to deal with Zhu Fu and these reinforcements in Yangzhou at the same time.

Even as long as the plan is implemented well, these two troops can be defeated at the same time in one fell swoop, so that Liu Zheng can sweep away the hostile forces in the entire Jiaozhou in a short period of time, and then occupy the entire Jiaozhou with peace of mind.

"Very good, Mr. Yuan Zhou, just follow your plan."

After Liu Zheng understood Yuan Zhou's words, he praised Yuan Zhou and immediately agreed to Yuan Zhou's proposal.

As soon as Yuan Zhou saw Liu Zheng agree with his plan, he began to continue.

"Lord, I don't have much to prepare for this plan, we just need to hold our troops still, and then send a large number of scouts to pay attention to the situation between Yangzhou's men and horses and Zhu Fu, deliberately let their soldiers and horses approach, and when they merge together, we can carry out our plan."

"Well, then everything will be carried out according to Mr. Yuan Zhou's orders, it just so happens that we have just experienced a few big battles, and our men and horses are a little tired, taking advantage of this stage of their contact, we can also temporarily recuperate, and at the same time, Zhou Cang, Xu Huang, and a few of you quickly trained the men and horses under your command, the recruitment and supplementation of the supplement, the training of the training, everything is as usual."

To deal with Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying, in fact, they don't have anything to prepare, everything just needs to wait and see, waiting for Zhang Ying and Zhu Fu's actions.

After discussing the plan, Liu Zheng's people stayed in Cangwu City honestly in the next few days, and did not do anything, but just sent all the scouts under his command to pay close attention to the dynamics of Nanhai County and Jiaozhi County.

And Zhang Ying on the side of Nanhai County did not take the initiative to kill Cangwu County, as if he did not come to Nanhai County to deal with Liu Zheng, but only for sightseeing, Zhu Fu of Jiaozhi County, because of the new defeat, had just fled back to Jiaozhi County, and at this time, the soldiers and horses under his command did not gather much, and he could not return to attack Liu Zheng in a short time, which did not worry Liu Zheng.

More than ten days passed, and the spies under Liu Zheng's command gradually came with some news that a small army from Nanhai County made a detour to Jiaozhi County, and it should have gone to meet Zhu Fu's men.

Liu Zheng didn't let his people startle the snake, and asked them to leave Hepu County to meet Zhu Fu.

However, because Liu Zheng did not have reliable details under Zhu Fu, he did not know what was discussed between Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying, and he just waited for half a month before more news came.

There was a force of about 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jiaozhi County, and they began to start from Jiaozhi County and follow the official road in the direction of Nanhai County.

If you want to go from Cochin to Namhae-gun, you must pass through Happo-gun, and Namhae-gun and Happo-gun are also considered to be the border.

The spies sent by Liu Zheng to Nanhai County also quickly sent him the news that Zhang Ying, who was sitting in Nanhai City, also began to march in the direction of Hepu City at this point in time.

After hearing these news, Liu Zheng understood that Zhang Ying and Zhu Fu were not looking at Cangwu City, but Hepu County, which had just been beaten down by Liu Zheng not long ago.

But this is normal, after all, Cangwu County does not border the territory of Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying, only Hepu County is, after defeating Hepu County, the merger of the two soldiers and horses can continue to advance.

Fight all the way to Cangwu City, and then drive Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses out of Jiaozhou or directly kill them in Cangwu City.

After Liu Zheng learned these news, he did not act rashly.

When the news was clear and he really knew that Zhang Ying and Zhu Fu's men and horses were converging towards the vicinity of Hepu City, he began to mobilize his troops and horses.

The reason why he delayed the transfer of troops and horses for a few days was also because he was worried that the early transfer of troops and horses on his side would cause Zhu Fu and Zhang Ying to be jealous.

A few days later, Liu Zheng finally transferred all his soldiers and horses to Cangwu City, but after nearly a month, they all gathered in Hepu City.

And just when Liu Zheng, Zhu Fu and others were fighting in Jiaozhou, the Jingzhou battlefield not far from Jiaozhou was also a big battle here at this time.

Because of the uprising of Guo Shi and others, it developed too rapidly, and spread more and more extensively, from the very beginning of Lingling County to the entire four counties of Jingnan, most of Jingzhou was controlled by them, and it has gradually begun to attract the attention of the imperial court.

A month ago, the imperial court had ordered Sun Jian, a Jiangdong tiger who had taken a lot of credit in the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban Army, to serve as the new Taishou of Changsha County.

At the same time, let Sun Jian assist Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to exterminate the uprising of Guo Shi and others.

Originally, after Liu Biao arrived, he had begun to vigorously absorb the forces, and in the past few months, Liu Biao's strength has gradually increased, although Jingzhou has lost the territory of four counties, but the main city is still in the hands of Liu Biao, Liu Biao only needs a period of time to train soldiers and horses, so that the army can gradually surround Guo Shi and others from other counties.

It took less than two months to suppress the spreading Guo Shi uprising.

But Sun Jian's addition accelerated the speed of Guo Shi's demise.
