Story:

During the late Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched an uprising, and various rebel armies rose to support them.

Xiang Liang led his troops to attack Qin. Fan Zeng went to see Xiang Liang and said, "When Qin conquered the six states, Chu suffered the most injustice. Chu Nan Gong once said that even if Chu had only three households left, it would seek revenge and destroy Qin."

Thus, Xiang Liang enthroned Mi Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu, as King Huai of Chu, gaining the support of the Chu people and rapidly expanding his strength.
