Zhang Miao continued: "Lu Ning, the governor of Bingzhou, bought grain everywhere before the New Year, and almost all the grain I made. I, Chenliu, is short of grain and money now. The prices are soaring. Five coins are minted by Dong Zhuo in large quantities. The currency value is declining every day, and it is worthless every day. When Lu Ning, Bingzhou, saw that all the things he produced were purchased by Dong Zhuo's counterfeit coins, he really could not bear such huge losses. When Lu Ning was angry, he canceled the circulation of five coins in his jurisdiction and re-used his new currency. Lu Ning threw out all the old Wuzhu coins he had recovered and purchased a large amount of grain and other materials in several nearby towns. The money he paid was 20% or 30% higher than that in the general market. Merchants from all over the country sold all the grain and other materials to Lu Ning. Because the alliance of the princes

None of the princes arranged for food production, and there was a shortage of food everywhere. If you want to say one thing, it was only Lu Ning's little, but it probably wouldn't be too much. Lu Ning has been relocating victims and refugees in recent years, and has spent a lot of money and food. Many refugees, hungry people, and even tenants have also gone to his Bingzhou jurisdiction. If Lu Ning wants to resettle so many victims and refugees, he will also spend a lot of food, so he will not have much food. There is no food in my jurisdiction, and a large number of people are fleeing to Bingzhou. I have no way to stop it now. Even if the people stay, you have to have food to help the people, otherwise the people will be starved to death. In this way, it is better to let them all escape the famine, and there may be a glimmer of hope."

Cao Cao was shocked after hearing this, and Cao Cao said, "If all the people escaped from Chenliu, who will grow food in the future?"

Zhang Miao smiled wryly and said, "There is no way. We can't let the people die here, right? Unless Brother Meng De asked your friend Wei Hong's family to take out food to help the victims, there would be no way. I invite you to come today, just ask you to help me." Then, Zhang Miao stood up on his seat and gave Cao Cao a great gift.

Cao Cao was unable to stop his kindness, so Cao Cao went to find Wei Hong himself, hoping to support him again. Wei Hong also received many policy preferential and permissions from Cao Cao, and finally helped Cao Cao again, but that was just a drop in the bucket and could not solve too many practical problems. Later, Cao heard that Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, so he asked his subordinates to lead hundreds of soldiers to Dongjun directly. Dongjun was originally Cao Cao's territory, but he left later. Now that Qiao Mao died, Cao took Dongjun first as his territory.

But it was said that the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, whose courtesy name was Jingsheng, read Yuan Shao's book at that time, and immediately ordered Kuai Yue and Cai Mao to lead 10,000 troops to intercept Sun Jian's army. Sun Jian arrived, and Kuai Yue set up the formation and took the lead. Sun Jian asked, "Why did Kuai Yidu lead his troops to intercept our army?"

Kuai Yue said: "Since you are a minister of the Han Dynasty, how can you hide the treasures of the country? You can leave the jade seal quickly and our army will let you go, otherwise this will be your burial place."

After hearing this, Sun Jian was furious and ordered Huang Gai to fight. Cai Mao danced his sword to welcome him. After several rounds, Huang Gai whipped Cai Mao in the middle of the heart protection mirror. Cai Mao turned his horse back and took the opportunity to kill him across the border. The golden drums behind the mountain sounded, and Liu Biao personally led the army to come. Sun Jian immediately bowed and said, "Why did Jing Sheng believe Yuan Shao's words and force me hard? Are we neighboring counties?"

Liu Biao said: "Do you hide the jade seal in the country? Do you want to rebel?"

Sun Jian said: "If I have this thing, I will die under the knife and arrow!"

Liu Biao said: "If you want me to believe me, you will follow the army's luggage and let me search."

Sun Jian said angrily: "What are you capable of? You dare to underestimate me." As soon as he wanted to fight, Liu Biao retreated. Sun Jian drove his horse and the ambushed troops from behind the two mountains. Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Huang Zu rushed over and trapped Sun Jian in the core. Huang Zu ordered the archers to shoot at Sun Jian at this point, and Sun Jian died under the arrow of Huang Zu's archers.

When Lu Ning saw this, he thought to himself, why is Sun Jian dead now? It seems that it should be next year or the next year? It's too early to die. Lu Ning continued to look down and realized that after receiving Yuan Shao's letter, Liu Biao not only sent troops to block Sun Jian, but also forcibly seized Sun Jian's Changsha County. Therefore, there is no way for Liu Biao to punish Sun Jian to die. If Sun Jian does not die, once Sun Jian escapes back to Jiangdong, he can quickly organize an army with Sun Jian's influence in Jiangdong, and he can send troops to attack Liu Biao at any time. If that is the case, Liu Biao will not have a good life. Sun Jian's courage is well-known in the world, and Sun Jian is also very good at leading troops. Liu Biao is very clear about these.

Besides, Lu Bu, after the successful ambush of Cao Cao's army, he was proud and returned to the army with great swagger. He did not send a probe, nor did he retreat. He was beaten hard by Lu Ning's army, causing Lu Bu to lose his armor. Lu Bu was so scared that he only fled with hundreds of defeated generals. When catching up with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu said that the princes led the army to chase him, and also scared Dong Zhuo for a good reason. Dong Zhuo immediately asked the army to retreat quickly. After asking the soldiers of Lu Bu who had escaped, they realized that there was a large army of princes. The only ones who came to Bingzhou were scared Lu Bu to death. Dong Zhuo glared at Lu Bu fiercely.

Tian Chou said: "According to the situation reported by the scouts, the cavalry of the Huns and Tartars are also gathering towards Yulin. The Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo and Huchuquan, Qubei and others are also gathering there. This time they have gathered all the tribes of the Southern Xiongnu. Even the Tatars, who were not subject to Fuluo's jurisdiction, sent troops one after another. They wanted to completely defeat our army and come to fight our army. They had no choice. In the past two years, Wen Yuan and Gao Shun have continuously harassed and attacked the cavalry of the Huns and also eliminated some of the Huns and Tartars.

They knew that if our army was not destroyed, the Southern Xiongnu would not have room for survival. They also knew that the Han court was in chaos and did not care about them. Even after they sued the court, no one would be able to pay attention to them. Of course, they also knew that they united to destroy our army, and the Han court would not pay attention, so they were now trying to make a try, betting on our destiny and future with our army. And they could only win, not lose, and once they lost, the Southern Xiongnu would be the end. Therefore, the tribes of the Huns and Tartars were very united and did not engage in internal strife."

After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "Zi Tai, did our army's scouts detect how many cavalry the Huns and Tartars would have?"

Tian Chou said: "Lord, with the latest information, the Huns and Tartar cavalry now have about 80,000 cavalry gathered, but they have not yet assembled. It is estimated that after all, they should be more than 100,000 cavalry, or even 150,000 cavalry."

Lu Ning asked again: "How was the Xihe Xianbei Tartars next to Junyi doing to clear them?"
