Story:
In the late Qin Dynasty, young Xiang Yu showed little interest in academics or swordsmanship. His uncle Xiang Liang asked him what he truly wished to learn. Xiang Yu replied that he wanted to learn something that could enable him to confront ten thousand people. So, Xiang Liang taught him military strategy, which he greatly enjoyed.
When Emperor Qin Shi Huang toured Kuaiji, Xiang Yu secretly remarked that he could replace him. Soon after, they raised the banner of rebellion.
