    From: The Records of the Grand Historian, by Sima Qian, c. 91 BCE
    Wèi Bào, Péng Yuè suī gù jiàn, rán yǐ xíjuǎn qiānlǐ, nánmiàn chēnggū, diéxuè chéngshèng, rì yǒu wén yǐ. [Pinyin]
    Wei Bao and Peng Yue used to be lowly at first. Nevertheless, at a time they conquered large territories, called themselves kings, left a trail of blood behind them, pressed forward in victory, and increased their clout day by day.
    From: The Book of Han, circa 1st century CE
    Yì yuē: “Bǎiwàn zhīshī, suǒguò dāngmiè. Jīn tú cǐchéng, diéxuè érjìn, qiángē hòuwǔ, gù bù kuài yé!” [Pinyin]
    Wang Yi said, "Wherever our force of a million strong passes, not a single opponent shall survive. Now let us massacre everyone defending that town and trample in their blood; let us then advance, our columns singing and dancing, and look back — wouldn't that be a supremely gratifying sight!"
