On the one hand, Liu Zheng stabilized the price of grain under his command, and on the other hand, he wantonly transported grain to other princes who had famine, of course, also in his own name.

Liu Zheng just wanted to take advantage of these things to further enhance Liu Zheng's reputation, so that the people under other princes would not have hatred for Liu Zheng, and even wantonly recruited all the people from other states and counties to his hands.

Liu Zheng's successive acts of kindness have naturally been highly regarded by many people, and the impression of many readers on Liu Zheng has also been greatly improved.

Of course, all this that Liu Zheng did was mainly carried out in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, after all, these two places were newly defeated by him, and the rule was not perfect enough, and it took a wave of buying people's hearts.

Such a good deed was enough to make Liu Zheng's fame reach its peak in these places, and the people were grateful and the officials were loyal.

However, when Liu Zheng was in the midst of disaster relief, there was bad news coming from the south.

In mid-December, Linyi County quickly sent information.

said that a month ago, a large number of unknown people and horses appeared in the south of Linyi County, these people were soldiers, advancing from the south to the north, and they would soon hit Linyi County.

When these centaurs first appeared, they naturally didn't attract much attention, Sun Jian, who was guarding the frontier, had always been very concerned about the unknown people around Linyi County, so he noticed these centaurs when they first appeared, but these people seemed to be coming for Linyi County, and they didn't stay in the frontier for too long before attacking Linyi County.

Fortunately, Linyi County was guarded by Sun Jian during this time, and his subordinates also recruited an elite team, although the number was not large, only more than 10,000 people, but with these people, they were able to temporarily engage in battle with these suddenly appeared men and horses.

However, due to the large number of soldiers and horses appearing, the initial exploration was as huge as 50,000, and Sun Jian was unable to defeat these soldiers and horses on the frontal battlefield with only more than 10,000 men and horses, so he could only rely on the cities of Linyi County to defend the city.

With Sun Jian's weakness, the number of these unknown people is increasing, and Sun Jian, who has always been steady, can only send his men and horses to Jiaozhou to ask for help.

And Xu Huang, who was the assassin of Jiaozhou, was no longer in Jiaozhou at this time, but went to Jingzhou to fight against the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Therefore, the news could only be transmitted to the hands of Liu Zheng of Wu County through the rapid whipping of the fleet.

Although the news transmitted from Linyi County was incomplete, Liu Zheng, who received the news, knew at a glance that most of them were the remnants of Linyi State, who continued to make trouble in Linyi County.

Three years ago, after Liu Zheng defeated the remnants of Lin Yiguo, Lin Yiguo was often in a state of riots, and from time to time some remnants came out to make trouble.

This is also a normal phenomenon, but after Liu Zheng sent Sun Jian to suppress these riots, the state of Linyi County was much better.

It's just that he didn't expect that now, those remnants of Linyi County haven't given up yet, and they still continue to do things.

When the news was transmitted to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng knew that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in Linyi County, although Sun Jian led a part of the soldiers and horses to resist, but the enemy had tens of thousands of troops, and it was no problem to hold Linyi County with Sun Jian's ability, but if he wanted to defeat it completely, he was afraid that it would not be so easy.

Originally, Liu Zheng didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing, and just sent a group of soldiers and horses over, but recently, he and the people of the imperial court have suspended their troops, because the two sides will not fight in a short time because of the plague.

So Liu Zheng has a lot of time to deal with these aliens.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Liu Zheng decided to lead Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses south to support Sun Jian at this time to completely solve the problem in the south.

On the one hand, he sent an order to Zhou Cang, ordering him to lead his 20,000 troops south to support, and on the other hand, Liu Zheng mobilized Zhou Tai's 5,000 sailors from Wu County to go south by boat directly from Wu County, and arrived at Linyi County to support Sun Jian as quickly as possible.

Of course, Liu Zheng also asked 3,000 soldiers and horses from all over Jiaozhou to form an army of 30,000, and united with Zhoucang's soldiers and horses, a total of 50,000 people, to go south from Jiaozhou to support Sun Jian.

This time, Liu Zheng wanted to completely eliminate those hidden dangers in Lin Yiguo at one time.

Half a month later, Liu Zheng took a boat and quickly approached Linyi County, and at the same time came to the city where Sun Jian was.

The army of 50,000 remnants of the Linyi State has already defeated half of Linyi County, and Sun Jian's people are too few, and after a big battle with the remnants of the Linyi State on the border, they did not get any advantage, so they retreated directly and waited for the reinforcements from Liu Zheng's side to come.

Now that Liu Zheng is here, when Liu Zheng saw Sun Jian, he immediately asked Sun Jian how the situation in Linyi County was.

"Wentai, what's going on in this Linyi County now? Why can the remnants of Lin Yi still organize an army of 50,000? Something is wrong, if they had an army of 50,000, they would not have been wiped out by my men in the first place. ”

Liu Zheng was already thinking about this problem when he was on the road, it stands to reason that the remnants of Lin Yiguo are thousands of people at most, and they can't organize an army of 50,000 at all.

If there were so many large armies, Lin Yiguo would not be wiped out by Liu Zheng. During this time, Sun Jian also sent people to inquire about the news, so he also knew some information about these enemies, and when Liu Zheng inquired at this time, he also knew how to answer.

"My lord, these people are not exactly the remnants of Lin Yiguo."

"Oh? Who is that? ”

"My spies have found out that these people are from a large kingdom further south, and it seems that they are called Funanguo."

"Funanguo?"

After Liu Zheng heard Sun Jian's words, he frowned.

He seems to have heard of this place, there were merchant ships going south to do business before, it seems that he has been to this place, but Liu Zheng does not take it to heart, in this era, in addition to the Han Dynasty, the whole of Asia, although there are also some small countries, but there is no need to worry.

What Liu Zheng didn't expect, he didn't go to these people for trouble, but they took the initiative to come over to find their own trouble.

In history, the Funan Kingdom was also in contact with the Han Dynasty, but at that time, it was the Wu State that was contacted, and the Wu State also sent people to the Funan Kingdom to pay a return visit, but the two sides did not raise troops to fight.

But now it's different, history has changed, with the emergence of Liu Zheng, Jiaozhou has long been unified, and the country of Linyi has been driven out, and the situation in Southeast Asia may change.

Liu Zheng didn't think about it carefully, since the other party came to the door, then Liu Zheng simply subdued these small border countries in one fell swoop.
