Chapter 205 Zhu Fu sent troops
Guo Shi's power seemed to be growing stronger, and the war began to spread towards the surrounding areas. Although it only took two months, it swept across Changsha County and Guiyang County.
Although Changsha County and Guiyang County have not been completely defeated, Guo Shi's strength is indeed increasing day by day.
Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou Prefecture, has not been idle for the past two months. He had already taken office two months ago, but the governor of Jingzhou did not give Liu Biao a good look at it at the beginning.
Of course, Liu Biao was not an incompetent person. In history, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou and joined forces with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others to plan major events. After several people agreed, Liu Biao pacified the thieves within, recruited wise men, and began to develop the land, education and economy of Jingzhou, so that the people of Jingzhou could recuperate well.
If you were outside, Liu Biao submitted a memorial to Yuan Shu as the prefect of Nanyang to show his affection with Yuan Shu, and also made friends with Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shao, the major forces in the north, and also took over Liu Bei, and slowly handled Jingzhou very well.
Liu Biao used his own strength and then slowly stood firm in the position of governor of Jingzhou when he had no power or background at all. This shows that Liu Biao was indeed very smart.
In such a short time, he could firmly control all the seven counties of Jingzhou under his command. It can be seen that Liu Biao's strength is different from history. The time when Liu Biao took office in Jingzhou was several years ahead of schedule because of the emergence of Liu Zheng.
But Liu Biao was still smart enough. As soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, he joined forces with the large family in Jingzhou to make a promise to support him. The Kuai family and the Cai family in Jingzhou were not allowed to be reused under the jurisdiction of Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou.
At this time, I was hoping that another person would appear so that their family could have a more say in Jingzhou. In this way, supporting Liu Biao became a new choice.
In this way, Liu Biao did not take much effort to get the support of the Kuai family and the Cai family, and had some of his own strength in the Jingzhou area. At the same time, the original governor Wang Rui was mobilizing the strength of various counties and counties to start dealing with Guo Shi.
It also gave Liu Biao the opportunity to take full control in Jingzhou. In two months, Liu Biao gradually took back some of the military power in Jingzhou, and invited the clan thief leader who did not obey his orders to come together to drink.
As a result, all the opponents were killed overnight, causing a huge wave.
The consequences of doing this made many people who opposed Liu Biao become even more fierce, but at the same time, some fence-bearers who were still watching immediately turned to Liu Biao, allowing Liu Biao to take most of the military power in Jingzhou in his own hands in a short time.
Similarly, in the past two months, Liu Biao has not paid much attention to Guo Shi's rebellion, but has first taken the power of Jingzhou into his own hands.
Now that we finally controlled the power of the four prefectures and counties in Jingzhou, we began to draw troops from other places, allowing counties and counties in various places to increase their personnel and start dealing with Guo Shi.
Although Liu Biao's troops had not started to send troops, Liu Zheng, who had received the news, already knew that Guo Shi would not have been struggling for long.
If Guo Shi could defeat Changsha County and Guiyang County in a short period of time, and then join forces with the barbarians, perhaps he would have the power to fight with Liu Biao. Now, even though Liu Biao had just taken control of Jingzhou, he was still not something Guo Shi, a bandit, could compete with him.
Under Liu Biao's men, there were also generals such as Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Huang Zu. These people were soon able to unite the clan forces in various places and form tens of thousands of troops, which was not a problem at all.
At the same time, in Yangzhou, the newly appointed governor of Yangzhou, Liu Yao, also began to attack the bandits, water thieves and Zongshuai in Yangzhou, but Liu Yao is not as powerful as Liu Biao.
As soon as he took office, he wanted to start with Yan Baihu, the strongest water thief in Yangzhou. However, he was defeated by Yan Baihu and offended Yan Baihu, allowing Yan Baihu to take advantage of the situation and directly resist the court. The 20,000 troops directly led his troops to attack Jianye.
The troops on both sides were in a stalemate in Kuaiji County.
If Yan Baihu was defeated, Liu Yao's men would wipe out the thieves one by one. Although Liu Zheng's men were far away from the core area of Yangzhou, he also belonged to the Yangzhou area. At that time, he would not only have to face Liu Yao's army, but also Liu Biao's men.
It can be said that it was a double attack. According to Liu Zheng's guess, it might be difficult for Liu Yao to defeat Yan Baihu, but it was only a matter of time for Liu Biao to destroy Guo Shi.
So there is not much time left for Liu Zheng.
At most, there will be less than half a year. If he cannot handle Jiaozhou, the Mingyue Village may be in danger of being in trouble.
As for Jiaozhou, it was not a good situation for Liu Zheng. Although Jiaozhou had not yet passed by the provincial governor, Zhu Fu's strength was getting stronger and stronger at this time.
In the past two months, Zhu Fu has suppressed several small forces that resisted the imperial court, and at the same time, he has prepared a 40,000 army.
These 40,000 troops have begun to gather in Cangwu County, which is the closest place to Jiaozhou and Yangzhou. It is only hundreds of miles away from Liu Zheng’s old nest Mingyue Mountain Village.
Cangwu County is relatively close to Lingling County, and is not far from Yuzhang County where Liu Zheng is located. It is precisely because of this that Liu Zheng wanted to join forces with Guo Shi to deal with Zhu Fu at the beginning.
But now he can only face Zhu Fu by himself.
Liu Zheng could roughly see from Zhu Fu's military mobilization that he knew that Zhu Fu should have known where Liu Zheng was. From his military service in Cangwu County, Liu Zheng could already guess that Zhu Fu was also preparing to attack him.
Forty thousand troops, not much to say.
After all, the opponents Liu Zheng has faced are nothing. He now has a new army of 20,000 people.
Although in terms of the number of people, Liu Zheng's troops were 20,000 fewer than Zhu Fu, Liu Zheng was confident and used these men to attack Zhu Fu head-on.
Completely eliminate Zhu Fu, then waved his troops and defeated the entire Jiaozhou in one sentence.
"Lord, our spy came to report that there was finally some movement in Cangwu. Zhu Fu's men and horses have already begun to act and are heading towards our parody."
"Is it going to start? After calculating the days, it's almost done. I originally wanted to take the initiative and teach Zhu Fu a lesson, but this would be fine, giving us an excuse and reason to attack Jiaozhou."
