"Thirdly, the cavalry that appeared at the end, I do not know if it was arranged by Lord Zheng beforehand or was truly the decision of that commander. In any case, he used a cavalry detachment as a catalyst, effecting a result akin to using a light touch to move a thousand pounds, ultimately leading to the collapse of my Chu army."
Jin Shuke's cavalry detachment was like two strong wrestlers in a deadlock, suddenly appearing to scratch one wrestler's itch.
This metaphor seems novel yet is quite fitting—its effect was exceptional. Both Liang Cheng and Lord Zheng saw that the primary credit for this battle should go to Jin Shuke.
After hearing the Zhuguai of Great Chu rambling on, Lord Zheng directly said:
"When I was just a commander, an elder brother in the army taught me this: There is nothing to war except for having strong soldiers and horses."
Shi Yuantang nodded slightly and said, "Those four words are indeed fitting."
