Fifty people stood in four lines, and just by lining up they took three minutes, indicating they had never received any training.
Xiang Yu stood in the middle, looked at the crowd and said, "You are all my good brothers, today we are gathered here..."
Xiang Yu first made a pre-battle motivation speech to inspire his brothers. The days of training would be hard, and he wanted to tell them that now was their chance to leave; once training began, it wouldn't be so easy to walk away.
The fifty men standing at the front were already determined, filled with fervent emotions with no thoughts of backing down. Besides, deep down, everyone harbored a desire to be a soldier; they simply hadn't had the opportunity.
Now that they were presented with such a training opportunity, they all cherished it dearly. It was also a good chance to experience military life.
