於是上帝眷顧高祖，高祖奉命，順斗極，運天關，橫巨海，票崑崙，提劍而叱之，所麾城摲邑，下將降旗，一日之戰，不可殫記。 Then Heaven turned to Gaozu. He took the mandate, aligned himself with the pole star, burst the passes of the sky, crossed wide seas, swept past Kunlun, and swept his sword before him; cities fell at a wave of his standard, captains struck their colors, and the clashes of a single day are beyond counting.
