However, during the march, the army suddenly encountered heavy rain and the roads were flooded, making it impossible to march. The laws of the Qin Dynasty were very harsh. If the civilian husband who was drafted missed the deadline, he would be beheaded. Everyone looked at the rain that kept falling.

Also, Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, had made great achievements. Everyone knew that he was a hero, and now he is also a good man. I don’t know if we are dead or alive. If we call on the world in the name of Fu Su and Xiang Yan, the people of Chu will definitely respond to us." Everyone agreed.

One day, Chen Sheng killed the officials who were escorting them. Then he called the soldiers together and said: "A man cannot die in vain, he must die with a name. Princes, generals, are they? Is it destined?" In this way, at a critical moment of life and death, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched an uprising against the Qin Dynasty, "cutting trees into soldiers and raising poles into flags", igniting the first great peasant uprising in Chinese history in Daze Township. war.
