At that time, King Xiang attacked Qi in the north, and Tian Rong fought him in Chengyang. Tian Rong was defeated and fled to Pingyuan, where he was killed by the people of Pingyuan. Qi surrendered to Chu. The Chu army then burnt the city of Qi and abducted their children. The people of Qi rebelled against Chu again. Tian Rong's brother Tian Heng established Tian Rong's son Tian Guang as the King of Qi, and the King of Qi rebelled against Chu in Chengyang. Although Xiang Yu heard that the Han army was heading east, after fighting with the Qi army continuously, he wanted to defeat the Qi army thoroughly before fighting the Han army. Because of this, the King of Han was able to hijack the armies of the five princes and finally entered Pengcheng. After hearing this, Xiang Yu led his troops to leave Qi, set out from Huling via Lu County, and arrived in Xiao County. He fought the Han army at the Sui River east of Lingbi in Pengcheng defeated the Han army and killed many soldiers, and the Sui River could not flow because of the blockage of corpses. The Chu army captured the parents, wife, and children of the King of Han in Pei County and placed them in the army as hostages. At this time, seeing the Chu army was strong and the Han army was defeated, the princes all turned their backs on the King of Han and returned to Chu. Sima Xin, the King of Sai, fled to Chu.
Zhou Lühou, the elder brother of Empress Lü, led an army for the Han army and was stationed in Xiayi. The King of Han came to him and gradually gathered the scattered soldiers stationed in Dang County. The King of Han then passed through Liangdi to the west and came to Yu County. He sent Sui He, the messenger, to the residence of Jiujiang King Ying Bu. The King of Han said: "If you can get Ying Bu to rebel against Chu, Xiang Yu will stay and attack Jiujiang. If you can delay him for a few months, I will be able to seize the world." Sui He went to persuade Jiujiang King Ying Bu, and Ying Bu indeed betrayed Chu. Chu sent Long Ju to attack Jiujiang.
When the King of Han was defeated in Pengcheng and retreated westward, he sent people to look for his family on the road, but his family also fled and he could not meet them. After the defeat, only Emperor Xiaohui was found. In June, he was made the crown prince, and the King of Han pardoned the criminals. The King of Han ordered the crown prince to garrison in Liyang, and the sons of the princes in Guanzhong gathered in Liyang for defense. The Han army diverted water to flood Feiqiu, and Feiqiu surrendered, and Zhang Han committed suicide. The King of Han was renamed Feiqiu Huaili. At this time, he ordered the temple officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, the four directions, the God, and the mountains and rivers, and to offer sacrifices according to the seasons in the future. The Han army recruited soldiers from Guannei to defend the border.
At that time, Jiujiang King Ying Bu fought Long Ju and could not win, so he and Sui He took a small road to join the Han State. The King of Han gradually gathered the fleeing soldiers, and the generals and soldiers in Guanzhong went out to reinforce, so the morale of Xingyang was boosted, and defeated the Chu army in Jing and Suo.
In the third year (204 BC), King Bao of Wei asked to go home to visit his sick parents. When he arrived in Wei, he cut off the Yellow River crossing, rebelled against the Han, and joined Chu. The King of Han sent Li Sheng to persuade Wei Bao, but Wei Bao did not listen. The King of Han sent General Han Xin to attack the State of Wei, defeated the Wei army, and captured Wei Bao. The Han army finally pacified the Wei territory and established three prefectures, namely Hedong, Taiyuan, and Shangdang. The King of Han then ordered Zhang Er and Han Xin to attack the State of Zhao via Jingxing in the east, beheading Chen Yu and King Xie of Zhao. The next year, Zhang Er was made King of Zhao.
是时项王北击齐，田荣与战城阳。田荣败，走平原，平原民杀之。齐皆降楚。楚因焚烧其城郭，系虏其子女。齐人叛之。田荣弟横立荣子广为齐王，齐王反楚城阳。项羽虽闻汉东，既已连齐兵，欲遂破之而击汉。汉王以故得劫五诸侯兵，遂入彭城。项羽闻之，乃引兵去齐，从鲁出胡陵，至萧，与汉大战彭城灵壁东睢水上，大破汉军，多杀士卒，睢水为之不流。乃取汉王父母妻子于沛，置之军中以为质。当是时，诸侯见楚强汉败，还皆去汉复为楚。塞王欣亡入楚。
吕后兄周吕侯为汉将兵，居下邑。汉王从之，稍收士卒，军砀。汉王乃西过梁地，至虞。使谒者随何之九江王布所，曰：“公能令布举兵叛楚，项羽必留击之。得留数月，吾取天下必矣。”随何往说九江王布，布果背楚。楚使龙且往击之。
汉王之败彭城而西，行使人求家室，家室亦亡，不相得。败后乃独得孝惠，六月，立为太子，大赦罪人。令太子守栎阳，诸侯子在关中者皆集栎阳为卫。引水灌废丘，废丘降，章邯自杀。更名废丘为槐里。于是令祠官祀天地四方上帝山川，以时祀之。兴关内卒乘塞。
是时九江王布与龙且战，不胜，与随何间行归汉。汉王稍收士卒，与诸将及关中卒益出，是以兵大振荥阳，破楚京、索间。
三年，魏王豹谒归视亲疾，至即绝河津，反为楚。汉王使郦生说豹，豹不听。汉王遣将军韩信击，大破之，虏豹。遂定魏地，置三郡，曰河东、太原、上党。汉王乃令张耳与韩信遂东下井陉击赵，斩陈余、赵王歇。其明年，立张耳为赵王。
