f his force to Yanzhou Region*。

Then Gongsun Zan said to Liu Bei; 〃This Yuan Shao is an incapable; and things will turns chaotic。 We had better go too。〃

So he broke camp and went north。 At Pingyuan he left Liu Bei in mand and went to strengthen his own position and refresh his troops。

The Imperial Protector of Yanzhou; Liu Dai; wished to borrow grain of the Governor of Dongjun; Qiao Mao。 Being denied; Liu Dai attacked the camp; killed Qiao Mao and took over all his army。 Yuan Shao seeing the confederacy breaking up also marched away and went east。

On the way home; Sun Jian was passing through Jingzhou Region。 The Imperial Protector of Jingzhou; Liu Biao; was a scion of the imperial house and a native of Shanyang。 As a young man he had made friends with many famous people; and he and his panions were called the Eight Wise Ones。 The other seven were:

。1。 Chen Xiang from Runan

。2。 Fan Pang from Runan

。3。 Kong Yu from Luting

。4。 Fan Kang from Bohai

。5。 Tan Fu from Shanyang

。6。 Zhang Jian from Shanyang

。7。 Cen Zhi from Nanyang

Liu Biao was friends with all these。 He had three famous persons who helped him in the government of his region。 They were Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue from Yanping; and Cai Mao from Xiangyang。

When Yuan Shaos letter detailing the fault of Sun Jian arrived; Liu Biao ordered Kuai Yue and Cai Mao with ten thousand soldiers to bar the way。 When Sun Jian drew near; the force was arranged in fighting order and the leaders were in the front。

〃Why are you thus barring the road with armed troops?〃 asked Sun Jian。

〃Why do you; a servant of Han; secrete the Emperors special seal? Leave it with me at once and you go free;〃 said Kuai Yue。

Sun Jian angrily ordered out General Huang Gai。 On the other side Cai Mao rode forth with his sword set to strike。 But after a few bouts Huang Gai dealt Cai Mao a blow with the iron whip on the armor just over the heart。 Cai Mao turned his steed and fled; and Sun Jian got through with a sudden rush。

However; there arose the sound of gongs and drums on the hills behind; and there was Liu Biao in person with a large army。

Sun Jian rode straight up to him and bowing low spoke; 〃Why did you; on the faith of a letter from Yuan Shao; try to coerce the chief of a neighboring region?〃

〃You have concealed the state jewel; and I want you to restore it;〃 was Liu Biaos reply。

〃If I have this thing; may I die a violent death!〃

〃If you want me to believe you; let me search your baggage。〃

〃What force have you that you dare e to flout me thus?〃

And only Liu Biaos prompt retirement prevented a battle。 Sun Jian proceeded on his way。 But from the rear of the second hill an ambush suddenly discovered itself; and Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were still pursuing。 Sun Jian seemed entirely hemmed in。

What does a man to hold the state jewel for;

If its possession lead to strife?

How Sun Jian got clear of the difficulty will presently be told。

At the close of the last chapter Sun Jian was surrounded。 However; aided by Cheng Pu; Huang Gai; and Han Dang; he eventually fought his way through; though with the loss of more than half his troops。 Sun Jian he returned to the South Land; southeast of the Great River*。 Henceforward Sun Jian and Liu Biao were open enemies。

Yuan Shao was in Henei。 Being short of supplies; he sent to borrow from the Imperial Protector of Jizhou; Han Fu; whence he obtained the wherewithal to support his army。
