Story:
In the early Western Han Dynasty, the strategist Zhang Liang offered many good ideas to Liu Bang. After a major defeat in the Battle of Sui River, Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang for a brilliant plan.
Zhang Liang replied, "Only Peng Yue, the general of Chu, Tian Rong, the King of Qi, and Han Xin of the Han army can help you achieve your great ambition."
Liu Bang took Zhang Liang's advice, adopted an offensive strategy, and united these three generals, each capable of independently managing a front, to defeat Xiang Yu.
