In the second year of the reign of Qin II (208 BC), Chen She's general Zhou Zhang led his army westward to Xishui and then returned. Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Wei all declared themselves kings. Xiang raised troops in Wu. Ping, the imperial censor of Sichuan (later its name changed to Pei County by Emperor Gaozhu, different from the Sichuan province of today), led his soldiers to besiege Fengyi. After two days, Pei Gong went out of the city to fight with him and defeated the Qin army. Pei Gong ordered Yong Chi to guard Fengyi, and he led his troops to Xue County. Sichuan County Governor Zhuang was defeated in Xue County and fled to Qi County. The left Sima of Pei Gong captured Zhuang and killed him. Pei Gong returned to Kangfu and came to Fangyu without a fight. King Chen sent Wei people Zhou Fu to attack the land. Zhou Shi sent someone to tell Yong Chi: "Fengyi, people from Daliang once migrated here. Now Wei has pacified dozens of cities. If you, Yong Chi, surrender to the King of Wei, the King of Wei will make you a marquis to guard Fengyi. If you don't surrender, I will massacre Fengyi." Yong Chi had always been reluctant to follow Pei Gong. When Wei State recruited him, he immediately rebelled and guarded Fengyi for Wei State. Pei Gong led his troops to attack Fengyi but failed. Pei Gong fell ill and returned to Pei County. Pei Gong resented Yong Chi and the young men of Fengyi for betraying him. When he heard that Dongyang Ningjun and Qin Jia had supported Jingju as the acting King of Chu in Liu County, he went to join them, hoping to borrow troops to attack Fengyi. At that time, Qin General Zhang Han was pursuing King Chen, and another general Sima Yi (or Ni, a rare word) led his soldiers to the north to suppress Chu, massacred Xiang County, and came to Dang County. Dongyang Ningjun and Pei Gong led their troops to the west and fought with them west of Xiao County, but failed. Pei Gong returned to gather the remaining soldiers in Liu County and led his troops to attack Dang County. He captured Dang County in three days. He took advantage of the situation to recruit soldiers from Dang County and got up to six thousand people. Attacking Xiayi, he captured it. Then he returned to Fengyi. When Pei Gong heard that Xiang Liang was in Xue County, he went to see him with more than one hundred cavalrymen. Xiang Liang reinforced Pei Gong with 5,000 soldiers and ten generals with the title of Wu Dafu. Pei Gong returned and led his troops to attack Fengyi.
Pei Gong followed Xiang Liang for more than a month, and Xiang Yu had already captured Xiangcheng and returned. Xiang Liang summoned generals from all directions to Xue County. Hearing that King Chen was indeed dead, he established Xiong Xin, a grandson of King Huai of Chu, as the King of Chu and established his capital in Xutai. Xiang Liang called himself Lord Wuxin. After a few months, the Chu army attacked Kangfu to the north, rescued Dong'a, and defeated the Qin army. The Qi army returned to Qi, and Xiang Liang had the Chu army pursue north alone, sending Pei Gong and Xiang Yu to lead another army to attack Chengyang and it was slaughtered. Pei Gong and Xiang Yu were stationed east of Puyang, fought with the Qin army, and defeated the enemy.
The Qin army regained its strength, held Puyang, and surrounded the city with water. The Chu army left and turned to attack Dingtao, but Dingtao was not captured. Pei Gong and Xiang Yu went west to capture land and fought with the Qin army, defeated the Qin army, and killed Li You. The army returned to attack Waihuang, but Waihuang was not captured.
秦二世二年，陈涉之将周章军西至戏而还。燕、赵、齐、魏皆自立为王。项氏起吴。秦泗川监平将兵围丰，二日，出与战，破之。命雍齿守丰，引兵之薛。泗州守壮败于薛，走至戚，沛公左司马得泗川守壮，杀之。沛公还军亢父，至方与，未战。陈王使魏人周巿略地。周巿使人谓雍齿曰：“丰，故梁徙也。今魏地已定者数十城。齿今下魏，魏以齿为侯守丰。不下，且屠丰。”雍齿雅不欲属沛公，及魏招之，即反为魏守丰。沛公引兵攻丰，不能取。沛公病，还之沛。沛公怨雍齿与丰子弟叛之，闻东阳宁君、秦嘉立景驹为假王，在留，乃往从之，欲请兵以攻丰。是时秦将章邯从陈，别将司马夷将兵北定楚地，屠相，至砀。东阳宁君、沛公引兵西，与战萧西，不利。还收兵聚留，引兵攻砀，三日乃取砀。因收砀兵，得五六千人。攻下邑，拔之。还军丰。闻项梁在薛，从骑百余往见之。项梁益沛公卒五千人，五大夫将十人。沛公还，引兵攻丰。
从项梁月余，项羽已拔襄城还。项梁尽召别将居薛。闻陈王定死，因立楚后怀王孙心为楚王，治盱台。项梁号武信君。居数月，北攻亢父，救东阿，破秦军。齐军归，楚独追北，使沛公、项羽别攻城阳，屠之。军濮阳之东，与秦军战，破之。
秦军复振，守濮阳，环水。楚军去而攻定陶，定陶未下。沛公与项羽西略地至雍丘之下，与秦军战，大破之，斩李由。还攻外黄，外黄未下。
