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。
