When Gaozu was a chief of a post station, he was sent by the county to escort convicts to Mount Li. Many of the convicts escaped on the way, and he estimated that they would all escape by the time they arrived. When they reached a marsh west of Feng, he stopped for a drink, and at night he released the convicts he was escorting. He said, 'You all go, I will also depart from here.' About ten of the convicts, who were strong men, were willing to follow him. Gaozu, drunk, walked through the marsh at night. The one who went ahead reported back, 'There is a large snake blocking the path, I suggest we turn back.' Gaozu, drunk, said, 'A brave man, what is there to fear!' He then went forward, drew his sword, and cut the snake in two. The path was then clear. After walking a few miles, he fell asleep from drunkenness. Later, when others came to the place where the snake was, they saw an old woman crying at night. They asked, 'Why are you crying?' The woman said, 'Someone killed my son, so I am crying.' They asked, 'Why was your son killed?' The woman said, 'My son is the son of the White Emperor, he transformed into a snake blocking the path, and now he has been killed by the son of the Red Emperor. The people thought the woman was lying and wanted to beat her, but she suddenly disappeared. Later, when the others arrived, Gaozu woke up. The others told Gaozu what had happened, and Gaozu was secretly pleased and felt a sense of self-importance. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were delighted, thinking about the supernatural, and said, 'This is teaching us to establish our authority first.' They then wrote in red on a piece of silk, 'Chen Sheng is king,' and placed it in the belly of a fish caught by someone. When the soldiers bought the fish and cooked it, they found the writing in the fish's belly and were already suspicious. Chen Sheng also secretly ordered Wu Guang to go to a nearby shrine and, at night, light a fire and make a fox cry, 'The great Chu rises, Chen Sheng is king.' The soldiers were all frightened at night. The next day, the soldiers often talked about it, all pointing and looking at Chen Sheng.
