Liu bang had to go, with people on the road. At this time, it rained heavily and the road was slippery. Many people ran away on the first day, which was beyond Liu Bang's control. After all, he is alone, where can he see so many prisoners?
The laws of the Qin Dynasty were very strict. Liu bang can't die, missed the time to die, missed the time, arrived, but there were not enough people, so he had to die!
