According to sources that I have read it was, Chen Sheng and
Wu Guang. Both of them were army officers who were tasked to lead their bands
of commoner soldiers to the north to participate in the defense of Yuyang.
During those times when you are late to show up on your government jobs you
would be executed so Chen and Wu organized a band that would rebel against
their government, and instead of fighting for survival they were doing this for
their freedom.
