At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and Liu Bang, the king of Han, fought for the world. The two armies fought in Guangwu, and the soldiers and local people of both sides complained. Xiang Yu was eager to destroy Liu Bang. He said to Liu Bang, "you and I are the only two people in the world fighting for supremacy. I don't want to stir up the army and stir up the masses to fight against you alone." Liu Bang declined with a smile, indicating that he was willing to fight for wisdom rather than strength.
