Chu and Han contended, Liu Gang took the lead in entering the customs, faithfully abided by the agreement between Chu Huaiwang and the generals, and prepared to be the king of Guanzhong.

Why did Liu Gang turn the tide and finally defeat the powerful Xiang Yu? Because Liu Gang is honest and smart, he worked honestly step by step when he succeeded, saved the day when he lost, and finally achieved his career.
