三年夏，郭馬反。馬本合浦太守脩允部曲督。允轉桂林太守，疾病，住廣州，先遣馬將五百兵至郡安撫諸夷。允死，兵當分給，馬等累世舊軍，不樂離別。皓時又科實廣州戶口，馬與部曲將何典、王族、吳述、殷興等因此恐動兵民，合聚人衆，攻殺廣州督虞授。馬自號都督交廣二州諸軍事、安南將軍，興廣州刺史，述南海太守。典攻蒼梧，族攻始興。〈《漢晉春秋》曰：先是，吳有說讖者曰：「吳之敗，兵起南裔，亡吳者公孫也。」皓聞之，文武職位至于卒伍有姓公孫者，皆徙於廣州，不令停江邊。及聞馬反，大懼曰：「此天亡也。」〉八月，以軍師張悌爲丞相，牛渚都督何植爲司徒。執金吾滕循爲司空，未拜，轉鎮南將軍，假節領廣州牧，率萬人從東道討馬，與族遇於始興，未得前。馬殺南海太守劉略，逐廣州刺史徐旗。皓又遣徐陵督陶濬將七千人從西道，命交州牧陶璜部伍所領及合浦、鬱林諸郡兵，當與東西軍共擊馬。

丞相陸凱上疏曰：「常侍王蕃黃中通理，知天知物，處朝忠蹇，斯社稷之重鎮，大吳之龍逢也。昔事景皇，納言左右，景皇欽嘉，歎為異倫。而陛下忿其苦辭，惡其直對，梟之殿堂，屍骸暴棄，邦內傷心，有識悲悼。」其痛蕃如此。蕃死時年三十九，皓徙蕃家屬廣州。二弟著、延皆作佳器，郭馬起事，不為馬用，見害。

Guo Ma was a figure in Eastern Wu who once served as commander of Xiu Yun’s household troops, when Xiu Yun was Administrator of Hepu; he does not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Deeds
In the summer of the third year of Tianji, after Xiu Yun died, Guo Ma’s troops were to be divided among others. At the same time, a census of Guangzhou’s population was being conducted. Guo Ma then gathered a force with He Dian, Wang Zu, Wu Shu, Yin Xing, and others, and rose in rebellion, killing Yu Shou, the Inspector of Guangzhou. He proclaimed himself Commander-in-Chief of Military Affairs in Jiao and Guang Provinces and General Who Pacifies the South. (Recorded in the histories)
Thereafter, Guo Ma killed Liu Lue, Administrator of Nanhai, and drove out Xu Qi, Inspector of Guangzhou. The Wu court dispatched Teng Xun, Tao Jun, forces under Tao Huang, and others to join forces in suppressing him. (Recorded in the histories)
When Guo Ma rose in rebellion, Wang Zhu and Wang Yan refused to serve him, and were killed as a result. (Recorded in the histories)
