Mi Fang told Liu Zheng what she knew.

After Liu Zheng listened, his face gradually became gloomy.

Wang Fen and Xu You did these things in Jizhou, in fact, from the very beginning, Liu Zheng didn't think they could succeed.

Change the dynasty and support a new master.

It's not something you can just play on your own.

Before the history of the Three Kingdoms, there were only two people who could depose the emperor.

These two are Yi Yin and Huo Guang.

Yi Yin is sincere and loyal, and according to the power of the prime minister, he is above the hundred officials, so the abolition of the emperor will be completed and the abolition will be completed.

When he arrived at Huo Guang, he first received the heavy responsibility of the first emperor to entrust the country, and then relied on the status of the royal family, and he had the weight of the queen mother's government, and the general trend of the concentricity of the ministers outside, plus the king of Changyi did not take the throne for a long time, there were no noble and favored people, and there was a lack of officials in the court, and his words could only be expressed through the attendants.

Therefore, Huo Guang's strategy is implemented cheaply and quickly, and the completion of things is like destroying decay. However, Wang Fen and others only saw the ease of success of the ancients, but did not see the current difficulties clearly. Wang Fen himself is just a Jizhou assassin who has just taken office for a long time, and what is the difference between the Seven Kings Rebellion and the Yellow Turban Uprising?

Although it is said that the status of Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, is famous, but after all, it is still too much worse than the imperial court, and without the slightest foundation, he went to the imperial court to launch a counterattack, but it was just to hit the stone with an egg.

Wang Fen was able to persist for nearly a year, which made Liu Zheng feel very surprised.

According to Liu Zheng's knowledge, Wang Fen in history, before he started the army, was frightened because the matter was revealed, and he committed suicide.

The current Wang Fen, because of the Han Shao Emperor Liu Bian, has been able to fight against the imperial court for a year, which is enough.

But after all, the foundation is not good, it is impossible to rely on the power of a state to confront the imperial court all the time, and sooner or later it will be wiped out.

This is also why, when Xu Yu invited Liu Zheng to join, Liu Zheng blatantly refused.

Because Liu Zhengda didn't think that Wang Fen could succeed by relying on Xu You and some other strategists from the beginning.

In today's troubled times, strategists are important, but the lack of generals who can fight well is also not good.

"Now the situation in Jizhou is no longer good, it seems that we can't sit still in Changsha County."

After Liu Zheng knew the situation in Jizhou, he understood that Jizhou would not last long, and when the imperial court cleaned up Wang Fen in Jizhou and freed his hands, most of them would have to focus on Liu Zheng.

So Liu Zheng is still under a lot of pressure at this time.

If you continue to occupy Changsha County, you will face the army of the imperial court, it is better to retreat to Jiaozhou at this time, and arrange the passage between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou and Yangzhou to be heavily guarded, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life.

Anyway, the imperial court is still busy with Xiliang's affairs, and it is impossible to gather too many people to appear in a short period of time.

In the next time, Liu Zheng didn't stay in Changsha for long at all, Cai Mao secretly came to the vicinity of Changsha County, and Liu Zheng went to meet Cai Mao privately.

When Cai Mao saw Liu Zheng, she first felt rewarded for Liu Zheng's defeat of Sun Jian in a short period of time, but she was angry that Liu Zheng let Sun Jian go and didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but she didn't dare to complain too much about Liu Zheng.

After all, Liu Zheng has always driven away Sun Jian and let Sun Jian leave Jingzhou's sphere of influence, and it will not be so easy to come back if he leaves this time.

And Liu Zheng also gave Cai Mao some new benefits, and agreed with Cai Mao to let Cai Mao's soldiers and horses come back to help and conduct a skirmish in Changsha, and then Liu Zheng would take the initiative to give up Changsha City.

Let Cai Mao's men take over Changsha County.

Then all the way Liu Zheng retreated to the line of Guiyang County and Lingling County.

Liu Zheng gave up Changsha County and Nan County, and let Cai Mao's work call for the two sides not to attack each other.

For Cai Mao, naturally there is no opinion, Nanjun was originally in the hands of Cai Mao, and Lingling County was always in the hands of Guo Shi, only Guiyang, which was in Sun Jian's hands at the beginning.

Now that Liu Zheng has given up Changsha County, Cai Maobai picked up a bargain, and he returned to Liu Biao's side, and he also had something to say, which was more or less his credit.

The reason why Liu Zheng gave up Changsha was also because he knew that he would not occupy Changsha for long, Changsha has more water here, and the plains are relatively spacious, once the people of the imperial court come, he is powerless to defend it.

It is better to retreat to Guiyang, relying on the topography of Guiyang, Liu Zheng only needs 20,000 Chen soldiers in Guiyang, that is, the imperial court sends 100,000 troops, and also has the strength to fight.

If you can't beat it, at least you can defend it.

And the consumption of grain and grass of 20,000 troops, Liu Zheng can still afford it, if it is an army of 100,000, the grain and grass of the imperial court is not a small amount, naturally it is impossible to keep stalemate with him in Guiyang, most of them will only attack once or twice, if they can't be defeated, they will definitely retreat.

And the reason why Liu Zheng wanted to give up Changsha County to Cai Mao was precisely because he valued the relationship between him and Cai Mao, and only by cultivating Cai Mao and letting Cai Mao and Chen Bing be near Jingnan could Liu Zheng have no worries.

To deal with others, maybe Liu Zheng will have to spend a lot of time to deal with Cai Mao, a fool, Liu Zheng is sure, and Cai Mao has a good relationship with him, Cai Mao will not take the initiative to attack him, even if other people attack, Cai Mao will most likely give him a notice in advance.

The two of them can collude with officials and bandits, cooperate with each other, and cooperate for a win-win situation.

This is the reason why Liu Zheng wants to get rid of Sun Jian and cultivate Cai Mao, Sun Jian is too powerful, Liu Zheng needs to deal with Sun Jian with a lot of effort, and Cai Mao doesn't need to, and he can even learn some news from Cai Mao's hands.

A few days later, Cai Mao's army of 30,000 arrived in Changsha City.

Liu Zheng did not let his own people confront Cai Mao, but let Guo Shi lead his men and horses to fight Cai Mao.

As Liu Zheng expected, although he experienced a big victory with Sun Jian, Guo Shi's men and horses did not improve, and after a big battle between 20,000 horses and Cai Mao, they lost thousands of people and retreated in embarrassment.

Liu Zheng took this opportunity to directly abandon Changsha City, and led people to leave Changsha City directly and withdraw to Shaoyang.

After retreating to Shaoyang, Guo Shi never understood why Liu Zheng retreated.

If Liu Zheng's men in Changsha joined forces with him to deal with Cai Mao, they might not have the strength to fight.

But Liu Zheng didn't do it, and Guo Shi himself couldn't do anything, so he could only retreat with Liu Zheng.

Guo Shi, who had withdrawn to Wuling County, had a resentment in his heart, but he had nowhere to send it.

After all, Liu Zheng was not his subordinate, but he spent money to invite reinforcements.

Liu Zheng stationed troops in Shaoyang, and Cai Mao's people also followed, and the two sides pretended to fight a few times, and after losing some soldiers and horses, they confronted each other, and did not continue to fight, but stalemate.
