Second, the original text
Xiang Yu killed the champion of Qing Zi, which was a great shock to Chu and a famous vassal. But when General Hepu died, 20,000 people crossed the river to save the giant deer. If the war is not so profitable, Chen Yu will ask the soldiers. Xiang Yu learned that when he led the troops to cross the river, they all sank, broke the kettle, burned the house, and took three rations to show that the foot soldiers would die, and no one returned. So he surrounded Wang Li, met him, fought nine battles, and killed Su Jiao and Li.
If you don't surrender, you will burn yourself. At that time, Chu Bing was made a vassal. The vassal army saved more than ten walls from the giant deer and did not dare to fight. When the State of Chu attacked the State of Qin, all the generals were watching from the wall. Chu soldiers are all equal. When the Chu soldiers moved, the princes and armies were all afraid. So Qin Jun was broken, and Xiang Yu summoned governors and generals to enter Yuanmen. Without exception, he knelt down and dared not look up. Xiang Yu began as a vassal general, and all vassals belonged to Yan.

Xiang Yu killed the champion of Qing Zi, which was a great shock to Chu and became a famous vassal. He first sent Dangyang Jun and General Pu to lead 20,000 people to cross the Zhanghe River to save the giant deer. Only a few small victories were achieved in the war, and Chen Yu came to ask for reinforcements. Xiang Yu led all his troops across the Zhanghe River, sank all the ships, smashed all the pots and pans, burned all the barracks, and brought only three days' dry food.
In order to let the foot soldiers know that they must fight to the death, there is no return. Troops went to the front, surrounded Wang Li, met Qin Jun, fought many times, blocked the tunnel built by Qin Jun, defeated Qin Jun, killed Su Jiao and captured Wang Li. He refused to surrender and burned himself to death. At this time, compared with Hou Qiang, the Chu army built more than a dozen camps by governors and troops who came to rescue the stag, and no one dared to send troops to fight.
When the Chu army attacked Qin Jun, they all just watched in the camp. The soldiers of the Chu army were invincible, and the soldiers shouted loudly, and the vassal soldiers were frightened. After defeating Qin Jun, Xiang Yu summoned governors and generals. When they entered the military gate, they all walked on their knees, and no one dared to look up. From then on, Xiang Yu really became the general of the vassal, and all the vassals were subordinate to him.
