The total number of troops of Liu Biao and Sun Jian in Jingzhou was more than 40,000. Although Gan Ning helped and some people from Guo Shi's headquarters, there were more than 30,000 people. However, if there were no more than 10,000 elite troops brought by Liu Zheng later, the troops of Guo Shi and Gan Ning would definitely not be able to confront Liu Biao and Sun Jian's army alone.

After all, although Guo Shi's troops are not bad, the gap is still very big compared with Liu Biao and Sun Jian's troops. Even the same number of troops may not be able to defeat the opponent. What's more, when there are fewer people.

Among the 40,000 soldiers, if it weren't for the 10,000 people brought by Liu Zheng, Guo Shi's situation would be bad.

Fortunately, now, with Liu Zheng’s support, Guo Shi finally felt a little relieved.

With Liu Zheng's support, Guo Shi's confidence in fighting Sun Jian and Liu Biao was even greater. Even if he could not defeat the two, it would be fine if he had to stalemate between them.

Anyway, the court at this time had no time to take care of this small Jingzhou area. The rebellion of Beigong Boyu in Xiliang was getting louder and louder, and the battlefield in Jizhou seemed to have restrained the large number of soldiers and horses of the court.

At this time, the court had no time to clone it, so it was only possible to let Liu Biao and Sun Jian wipe out Guo Shi themselves.

"Let me tell me first about the current situation in Jingzhou."

Although Liu Zheng's spy had already stretched his claws to Jingzhou, Liu Zheng did not care much about the war in Jingzhou during this period. Now that he has pacified Jiaozhou, it is time to take down Jingzhou.

After Liu Zheng asked, Guo Shi immediately described it to Liu Zheng.

"Liu Zhengqu, our uprising was smooth sailing and occupied several prefectures and counties in Jingzhou. At that time, the court had not organized a man to fight back. Only one Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui led a part of his troops to defend. However, after Liu Biao appeared, he led several major families in Jingzhou to join forces with Sun Jian to attack from north to south, divided his troops into two groups, and killed my troops to defeat him."

"Many generals under my command died at the hands of Liu Biao and Sun Jian. They are still in the territory we control, and only Wuling County and Lingling County are left. Even Guiyang County is probably under the hands of Sun Jian."

"Nan County was recaptured by Liu Biao. If we want to deal with Liu Biao and Sun Jian, we must first rob Guiyang County and then further kill Changsha County to attack the entire Jingzhou."

Guo Shi briefly described his uprising, summarized the reasons for the failure, and told Liu Zheng about his next plan.

But after hearing Guo Shi's words, Liu Zheng did not agree and quickly shook his head. If it was as Guo Shi said, it would not be so easy to fight Liu Biao and Sun Jian.

"The counterattack is slowed down first. Now what we need to do is not counterattack, but stabilize the situation. Defend according to the city and take the initiative to attack. Not only will the loss of troops, but the general will not gain any advantage. It is better to defend according to the city and turn the initiative into passive."

After listening to Guo Shi's description, Liu Zheng quickly had some plans in his mind.

"Defense?"

Guo Shi is actually more inclined to take the initiative to attack, because if he does not attack and blindly defends, his money and food will not be replenished, and will only be consumed continuously. At that time, it will not only not play any role, but will instead consume himself to death.

Fortunately, Guo Shi robbed enough money and food a while ago, and with many soldiers and horses killed and injured, the food and grass were still enough for the time being, so he would not be unable to withstand it for the time being.

Guo Shi did not object to Liu Zheng's proposal. Now that he has seen the power of Liu Zheng's troops, Guo Shi has made up his mind to hold Liu Zheng's thighs well. Only by cooperating with Liu Zheng can he resist the attacks of Sun Jian and Liu Biao.

After understanding the current situation, Liu Zheng quickly said goodbye to Guo Shi and let Guo Shi leave. After that, only Liu Zheng's own confidants were left in the hall.

After meeting Gan Ning, Zhou Chao and others, Liu Zheng spoke again at Gan Ning.

"Xingba, how are the casualties of our army?"

Compared to Guo Shi, Liu Zheng cared more about his own troops.

"Lord, our people were not very casualties. In the battle with Sun Jian, there were only more than 1,000 casualties. Later, I recruited hundreds of people to fill the gap in Wuling County. After all, I found that there was almost no loss now."

"That's good. In fact, it's easy to deal with Sun Jian. We can even get Sun Jian done without any effort, but it won't do us well to get Sun Jian done."

The reason why Liu Zheng did not take the initiative to attack was to adopt a defensive policy was also because he had his own plans.

A mere Sun Jian, nearly 10,000 soldiers, seemed powerful, but Liu Zheng was still very sure that he could destroy this guy.

However, once Liu Zheng eliminates Sun Jian, with Liu Biao's strength, he will definitely not be able to block Liu Zheng and Guo Shi's two troops alone.

The final result was that Liu Zheng and Guo Shi's troops defeated Liu Biao and occupied Jingzhou. The incident of Guo Shi's uprising became increasingly riots.

It eventually attracted the attention of the court.

Don’t look at it, Liu Zheng is not afraid of the court at all now. He openly opposes the court and occupy the entire Jiaozhou.

That's because Jiaozhou is very far away from the Central Plains. Even if the court wants to move him, the long-distance troops will come a few months later. Liu Zheng can completely rely on the terrain and slowly deal with the court.

But once he occupied Jingzhou, it would be different.

Jingzhou is too close to the Luoyang court. Above Nanyang is Hongnong County, next to it is Luoyang. The cavalry can even reach Jingzhou in only two or three days.

Once the court organizes troops and launches an attack on Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng's current strength may not be a problem, but once the court draws troops from other surrounding counties and continues to siege Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng's current strength will never be able to stop more than 100,000 troops.

So Liu Zheng had to wait. When the world was a little more chaotic, the only time when the court was so chaotic that it was too late to take care of itself and had no time to pay attention to Liu Zheng, was the time when Liu Zheng fought for Jingzhou.

Now he has to lie dormant and not make too much noise, and avoid attracting the attention of the court too much.

Sun Jian and Liu Biao's men were stationed nearby and staring at each other, which was not a solution.

Liu Zheng began to ponder.

At this time, Yuan Zhou spoke up.

"Lord, I heard Guo Shi say that Sun Jian and Liu Biao seem to be in a bad relationship. Can we do some tricks from this aspect?"

"How can we see that Sun Jian and Liu Biao are not in harmony?"

When Liu Zheng heard Yuan Zhou's words, he frowned and asked immediately.
