=== Rebellions in Qi and Zhao ===
Merely six months after Qin dynasty's collapse, [[Tian Rong]], a [[Qi (state)|Qi state]] noble and rebel leader, was unhappy with how the Qi territories had been split among three kingdoms{{snd}}Qi, Jiaodong and Jibei, collectively known as the Three Qis{{snd}} and himself not receiving anything due to grudges with Xiang Yu, so he waged war against the other kingdoms. He killed Tian Shi, the King of Jiaodong, and Tian An, the King of Jibei. Tian Du, the King of Qi, was defeated by Tian Rong so he fled and joined Xiang Yu. Tian Rong gained control of the Three Qis and became the ruler of the Qi territories.

Tian Rong contacted [[Peng Yue]], a [[grassroots]] rebel leader who also didn't go to Guanzhong to be enfeoffed and ended up with his territory claimed by Xiang Yu, and formed an alliance against Xiang Yu. At the same time, he sent troops to support [[Chen Yu (Eighteen Kingdoms)|Chen Yu]], who had started a rebellion in the former [[Zhao (state)|state of Zhao]]. In 205&nbsp;BCE, Chen Yu defeated [[Zhang Er (Western Han)|Zhang Er]], the King of Changshan, and seized control of his kingdom. Chen Yu then installed [[Zhao Xie]], the King of Dai, as the new ruler of the Zhao territories.

Upon learning of the rebellions in Qi and Zhao, Xiang Yu led his forces north to deal with the rebels.
