Introduction to the 40th episode of the TV series "Eastern Shuo":
Emperor Wu, based on the suggestion of Qiankunzi, appointed Liu Nan as the grain official to accompany the army on the expedition, while Wang Huaie coordinated the military provisions for the front-line troops from the rear. Eastern Shuo foresees a huge conspiracy forming around him, and he carefully instructs Liu Nan to be cautious after the expedition.
As soon as the army left, Li Shaogun spread demonic words to mislead Emperor Wu, making him seclude himself for a month of practice. Meanwhile, Wang Huaie withheld the grain and did not distribute it, leaving the three armies at the front line on the brink of starvation. Wei Qing sent Jing Kui and Liu Nan back to the capital city to urge for supplies.
