Source: to Xiao Yunsheng's concubine written by Yuan Hongdao of Ming Dynasty: "it was not geometric before, but scattered in the East and West. Since nianfang has passed away, his elder brother followed him and shot at the autumn moon in the hall. It's as if he had been separated from the rest of the world, and his life would meet again and again." Example: in a flash, more than 100000 soldiers were killed, leaving an empty stronghold.
