If it is a very famous person, Liu Zheng will directly pay attention to it.

Shi Xie was taken aback by Liu Zheng's question, but he immediately spoke to Liu Zheng and recommended seven or eight people in a row.

"Rinan County is engaged in Zhang Chong. This person is not well-known in the county. He likes mountains and rivers. He is quite familiar with the terrain of Jiaozhou. He is a talent."

"Li Qin of Hepu County knows people well and uses them well. He has recommended many talents in the county and counties, and he is good at knowing people."

"Li Jin in Nanhai County is rare and wise. He was the prefect of Wuling County during the period of Emperor Ling. Later, he abandoned his official position due to illness and stayed at home. If he helps him, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Shi Xie named several people in succession.

Liu Zheng carefully wrote down the names of these people, but except for a person named Li Jin who seemed to have some impressions, Liu Zheng really didn't have much impression of the names of the others.

Perhaps it is because these people are famous in history, but they are not outstanding, so they have not been included in many games at all, which makes Liu Zheng not familiar with these names.

Although they are not very famous people in history, since they were recommended by Shi Xie, Liu Zheng still wants to meet them to see if they are really talented. If they are really talented, Liu Zheng I don't mind recruiting them into my command.

Anyway, there are not many available people under Liu Zheng's command now, no matter how talented these people recommended by Shi Xie are, at least as long as they can help Liu Zheng manage Jiaozhou temporarily, that's enough.

When Liu Zheng's imperial examination system is officially effective, Liu Zheng will no longer need to seek these celebrities alone.

In this way, after a few days, Shi Xie had gathered these people together, gave Liu Zheng the news, and asked Liu Zheng to come and see them.

Liu Zheng still attached great importance to these people, put down what he was doing, immediately took Yuan Zhou and Xu Huang with him, rushed to Shi Xie's mansion, and then met those people recommended by Shi Xie.

At the banquet at Shi Xie's mansion, Liu Zheng met the people Shi Xie mentioned. These people are all friends with Shi Xie. As long as Liu Zheng is willing to give them some positions of real power, they are also willing to rely on Liu Zheng.

At least it’s okay to manage counties and counties for Liu Zheng. Anyway, Liu Zheng also lacks such people. After drinking for three rounds, Liu Zheng got to know the famous people present one by one. The meaning of solicitation.

These people followed Liu Zheng's solicitation and directly announced that they would join Liu Zheng's camp to help Liu Zheng manage Jiaozhou.

In this way, everyone was happy, and Liu Zheng pushed Shi Xie out again and let him manage Jiaozhou.

Liu Zheng doesn't want to be delayed by these political affairs in Jiaozhou now, and there is no man around him who can manage Jiaozhou.

The only candidate was Shi Xie.

In history, Shi Xie managed the entire Jiaozhou in an orderly manner without many mistakes, so Liu Zheng handed over Jiaozhou to Shi Xie, and he was relieved.

Moreover, Shi Xie's management of Jiaozhou is just to manage government affairs, and Liu Zheng will still firmly control the military power, so Liu Zheng is not afraid that Shi Xie will betray him.

If at the beginning, when Liu Zheng proposed to let Shi Xie manage Jiaozhou, Shi Xie thought that Liu Zheng was testing him and refused.

But when Liu Zheng put this matter on the table again, and said it in front of so many people, Shi Xie knew that Liu Zheng was not trying to test him, but really wanted him to come Manage the entire Jiaozhou.

This time Shi Xie didn't refuse, but flattered and saluted Liu Zheng, and then accepted the important task calmly.

"Thank you, my lord. I will definitely manage Jiaozhou well and make it a rich and happy place."

"Then there will be the governor of Lao Shixie. No, from today onwards, you will no longer be the governor of Cangwu County, but the governor of Jiaozhou."

"Although I am not yet the emperor, you still have to take the position of governor of Jiaozhou. In the future, when I establish a new world, you will be the real governor of Jiaozhou."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, I, Shi Xie's hand, drew a blueprint for Shi Xie.

The next thing was simple. Liu Zheng handed over almost all the government affairs of Jiaozhou to Shi Xie. After that, Liu Zheng had nothing to do and could finally continue to participate in foreign wars.

He didn't stop, and after handing over work to Shi Xie in Hepu City, he quickly ordered Xu Huang to form a [-]-strong army again.

This [-]-strong force is the first battalion under Xu Huang's command. It was originally scattered in various counties and counties to suppress possible rebellions in various places.

Since Zhou Cang's fourth battalion was barely competent after half a month of training, so after Zhou Cang's men were switched on defense, Liu Zheng dispatched Xu Huang's first battalion to Wuling County to assist Gan Ning against Liu Biao and Sun Jian. army.

Although Gan Ning had led his army to Jingzhou half a month ago, Liu Zheng knew that it would not be so easy to defeat the coalition forces of Sun Jian and Liu Biao with Gan Ning's mere 1 people.

That's why Liu Zheng wanted to organize as soon as possible, another team, to support Gan Ning in the past, and with Xu Huang's battalion, it should be almost enough to deal with Sun Jian in the past.

When Liu Zheng led Xu Huang's troops to Wuling County, it happened that this guy Guo Shi sent someone over to deliver a message to Liu Zheng, explaining the result of this battle.

To Liu Zheng's surprise, Liu Zheng underestimated Gan Ning a little too much. When Gan Ning's army arrived in Wuling County a few days ago, they happened to encounter the soldiers from Sun Jian's headquarters who had been killed from Changsha County.

Gan Ning's [-] troops and Sun Jian's men fought directly in Wuling County. At first, Guo Shi was very worried about Gan Ning.

After all, although there were only 6000 soldiers on Sun Jian's side, Guo Shi knew how powerful Sun Jian was. After a fight, it was Gan Ning who killed Sun Jian and returned in defeat.

2Chapter 16 Came to Wuling

In fact, Gan Ning's victory over Sun Jian was not only due to his superiority in military strength, but also because Sun Jian underestimated the enemy.

Sun Jian started from Changsha, and Guo Shi's rebels who killed all the way retreated steadily. The Guo Shi rebels under Sun Jian alone already numbered tens of thousands, so in Sun Jian's eyes, these Guo Shi rebels Army, just like the Yellow Turban rebels he eliminated.

They were all vulnerable motley crews, and they were no match for his men at all, so when they encountered Gan Ning's men.

Sun Jian also only believed that Gan Ning and others were under Guo Shi's subordinates. Without any preparation, Sun Jian ordered people to rush to kill Gan Ning's army and launch an attack.

Although the number of troops on Sun Jian's side was relatively small, Sun Jian was not afraid and ordered the attack anyway.

As for Gan Ning, he already knew how powerful Sun Jian was. After encountering Sun Jian in the wild, he calmed down and organized defense according to the fighting method taught by Liu Zheng before, ordering his soldiers to attack Sun Jian's army little by little.

The soldiers and horses of both sides launched an attack and defense in the forest. Naturally, the result was predictable.

Gan Ning severely damaged Sun Jian's army at the cost of losing 1000 men.

Sun Jian's army consisted of 6000 people, more than 3000 were killed by Gan Ning directly, and the rest fled back to Changsha County with wounds.

Gan Ning originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Sun Jian in one fell swoop, but after Sun Jian's men fled back to Changsha, they were picked up by Liu Biao's army who came to support them.

Liu Biao had an army of [-], which was suddenly higher than Gan Ning's. Gan Ning's side had already experienced a great battle, and the soldiers under his command were exhausted, so it was difficult to continue the pursuit, so he simply led his men back.

A hearty victory immediately made Guo Shi, who was sweating for Gan Ning, overjoyed. At this time, Guo Shi finally understood that Liu Zhengjun is terrible.

All of a sudden, he felt that the five thousand gold he spent was worth it. Although he didn't kill Sun Jian in the first battle, he drove Sun Jian's soldiers and horses out of Wuling County directly, which greatly reduced Guo Shi's pressure.

As soon as the battle ended, Guo Shi was about to send someone to deliver a letter to Liu Zheng, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Zheng led another [-] soldiers and came over on his own initiative.

The county seat of Wuling County.

This is the prefecture and city that Gan Ning led the army to take down a few days ago.

Guo Shi was attacked by Liu Biao's army before, and even the county city was lost. Now after being defeated by Gan Ning again, he is also stationed here.

Guo Shi received the news that Liu Zheng would lead another 1 people over, and was immediately overjoyed. When Liu Zheng's army was about to arrive, he had already brought people out of the city to greet him.

Half a year ago, Liu Zheng and Guo Shiping might have been on an equal footing, but now, Liu Zheng, who has occupied the entire state and county of Jiaozhou, has far surpassed Guo Shi in status, and Guo Shi has to lower his status a bit.

Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses appeared outside the city of Wuling County. From a distance, he saw a group of people standing outside the city of Wuling County. Gan Ning, Zhou Chao and others stood at the front.

"Congratulations handsome!"

When Zhou Chao and the others saw Liu Zheng from a distance, they immediately called out loudly, and asked Liu Zheng to wave his hand from a distant horse, signaling that they heard him.

The war horse gradually approached, and when he saw Gan Ning, Zhou Chao and others, a smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

"Xingba, yes, I didn't expect you to fight so beautifully in the first battle, do you have the prestige of General Huang!"

When Liu Zheng saw Gan Ning, he immediately praised Gan Ning.

For this big victory of Gan Ning, Liu Zheng also praised Gan Ning greatly, which can be regarded as revenge for the previous battle in Runan.

Liu Zheng's praise made Gan Ning very useful, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Naturally, Gan Ning was happy to be praised by Liu Zheng.

"Haha, my lord, it was all a fluke. I thought it would be a bloody battle. Even if I could defeat Sun Jian, the damage would be heavy. However, I didn't expect that Sun Jian would charge directly and launch a general attack on us. In this way, our army was defeated."

Gan Ning excitedly described the course of the battle to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng had already learned the news from other messengers who delivered the news, but he still glanced at it approvingly.

After talking with Gan Ning, Zhou Chao and the others, Liu Zheng turned his attention to Guo Shi.

This is Liu Zheng's first meeting with Guo Shi.

When seeing Guo Shi, Liu Zheng took a careful look at Guo Shi.

A man in his thirties with a little beard, not considered strong, but dressed differently from Zhou Chao, Ou Xing and others.

Zhou Chao and Ou Xing dressed more casually, while Guo Shi was more particular, at least wearing the same robes as the Han literati.

"This is Guo Shida, the master."

Liu Zheng's eyes fell on Guo Shi, and Guo Shi immediately responded to Liu Zheng with fear and sincerity.

"Exactly. I have admired Liu Zhengqu's handsome reputation for a long time. When I saw him today, he is very imposing and extraordinary."

Guo Shi racked his brains and thought of two words.

"Let's go into the city, it's not a problem to stand here."

Liu Zheng didn't say anything to Guo Shi, but asked Guo Shi to lead the crowd and the [-] troops brought behind him into the city.

In today's Wuling County, Gan Ning's 1 troops, Guo Shi's [-] troops, and Liu Zhengxian's [-] troops are stationed here.

A full [-] army is all the main force of Guo Shi at present.

Entering the hall in the city, Liu Zheng went directly to the main seat. Guo Shi saw Liu Zheng being so casual, but he didn't mind, and sat in the seat on the left by himself.

"Master Guo Shida, I brought people here this time mainly to help you. I was worried that with Gan Ning's help, you people might not be Sun Jian's opponents. I didn't expect that you would win a big battle. Made me worry a lot."

"Liu Zhengqushuai, although we defeated Sun Jian this time, we did not seriously damage Sun Jian's roots. As far as I know, Sun Jian has a total of 4000 soldiers and horses in Changsha County. Although we beheaded nearly 3000 of his soldiers this time. , but he still has more than [-] people in Changsha."

"Moreover, it is Liu Biao's people who really make me feel the crisis. Most of my people died at the hands of Liu Biao. This time Liu Biao sent 3 horses, and they should have joined Sun Jian's people at this time. .”

Guo Shi's control over intelligence is still clear. After several failures, he also understood the importance of intelligence.So a lot of spies were sent out.

"So, Liu Biao and Sun Jian's troops, a total of 4 people, are stationed around here?"

After listening to Guo Shi's words, Liu Zheng said something lightly.

2Chapter 17 Discord

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao and Sun Jian have a total of more than 4 soldiers and horses. Although there are more than 3 soldiers from Gan Ning and some people from Guo Shi's headquarters, if Liu Zheng didn't bring them over later These ten thousand elites, Guo Shi and Gan Ning's troops alone, will definitely not be able to confront Liu Biao and Sun Jian's army.

After all, although Guo Shi's men are not bad, compared with Liu Biao and Sun Jian's men, there is still a big gap. Even with the same number of men, they may not be able to defeat their opponents.Not to mention the fact that there are fewer people.

Among the 1 soldiers and horses, if there were no [-] people brought by Liu Zheng, Guo Shi's situation would still be bad.

Fortunately, now, with Liu Zheng's support, Guo Shi finally feels at ease.

With Liu Zheng's support, Guo Shi has greater confidence in fighting against Sun Jian and Liu Biao. Even if the two cannot be repelled, it will always be no problem if they continue to stalemate each other.

Anyway, the imperial court at this time should have no time to take care of this small land of Jingzhou. Beigong Boyu in Xiliang rebelled, and the commotion became louder and louder, and the battlefield in Jizhou seemed to contain a large number of imperial troops.

At this time, the imperial court had no time to avatar, so Liu Biao and Sun Jian could only let Liu Biao and Sun Jian destroy Guo Shi by themselves.

"Tell me about the current situation in Jingzhou."

Although Liu Zheng's spies have extended their claws to Jingzhou, Liu Zheng has not paid much attention to the war in Jingzhou during this time. Now that he has pacified Jiaozhou, it is time to take Jingzhou down.

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

"Liu Zhengqushuai, before our uprising went smoothly and occupied several states and counties in Jingzhou. At that time, the imperial court had not yet organized manpower to fight back. Only one Jingzhou governor, Wang Rui, led some troops to defend. But later, Liu Biao appeared , he led several major clans in Jingzhou, joined forces with Sun Jian, and attacked from north to south, splitting his troops into two groups, killing my men and horses and defeating them."

"Many generals under my command died at the hands of Liu Biao and Sun Jian, and now they are still in the territory controlled by our side. Only Wuling County and Lingling County are left. Even Guiyang County may also fall into Sun Jian's territory. hands."

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

Guo Shi briefly described his own uprising this time, summed up the reasons for the failure, and at the same time told Liu Zheng his next plan.

But after Liu Zheng heard what Guo Shi said, he didn't agree with it, and quickly shook his head. If it was true as Guo Shi said, it would not be so easy to fight Liu Biao and Sun Jian.

"Let's take a moment to counterattack. What we need to do now is not to counterattack, but to stabilize the situation, defend the city, and take the initiative to attack. Not to mention the loss of troops, it will not take advantage of it. It is better to defend the city and take the initiative. as passive."

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

"Defense?"

Guo Shi is actually more inclined to take the initiative to attack, because if he does not attack and blindly defends, the money and food under his command will not be replenished, and will only be consumed continuously. Consumed myself to death.

Fortunately, Guo Shi robbed enough money and food a while ago, and with the death and injury of many soldiers and horses, there is still enough food and grass for the time being, so it won't be too late for a while.

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 that he must hug Liu Zheng's thigh well. Only by cooperating with Liu Zheng , he was able to resist the attacks of Sun Jian and Liu Biao.

After understanding the current situation, Liu Zheng quickly bid farewell to Guo Shi and let Guo Shi leave. After that, only Liu Zheng's cronies were left in the hall.

After seeing Gan Ning, Zhou Chao and others, Liu Zheng spoke again to Gan Ning.

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

Compared with Guo Shi, Liu Zheng cares more about the people under his command.

"My lord, the casualties of our troops are not too many. In the battle with Sun Jian, there were more than 1000 casualties. Later, in Wuling County, I recruited hundreds of people to make up for the shortfall. Calculated, there are almost no losses now."

"That's good. In fact, it's easy to deal with Sun Jian. We can even deal with Sun Jian without any effort, but it's not good for us to deal with Sun Jian."

The reason why Liu Zheng did not take the initiative to attack, but adopted a defensive policy, also had his own plans.
