"All departments shall strictly observe military discipline, and those who violate it shall be punished by military law."
"We will follow the orders of Governor Qin!" the generals responded in unison.
Two days later, the army set out on time after being fully prepared.
Tens of thousands of soldiers with flags flying were everywhere in the mountains and plains.
There are countless large and small warships on the river, with their high-hanging sails blocking out the river and the sun.

The mountain roads were narrow and rugged, so a large army could not deploy. The waterways were turbulent, and the boats would capsize if the operation was not careful.
