At the end of the Qin dynasty, there was chaos in the world, and the people rose up against tyranny. Liu Bang also led troops to participate in the uprising, and soon planned to attack the capital Xianyang.

When Liu Bang's army passed through Chenliu County, a man named Bi came to persuade him that the number of generals was less than 654.38 million and the training was not enough. If we attack Xianyang now, it is tantamount to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth and will certainly be defeated. Bi Shidao: Why don't we take this county first, recruit soldiers, and then attack Xianyang after training? Liu Bang accepted his proposal.
