The Eastern Campaign and the Fall of Pengcheng In the spring of 205 BCE, Xiang Yu (the “Hegemon-King”) led his main army east to crush Tian Rong, King of Qi. After repeated defeats, Tian Rong fled to Pingyuan, where he brutally extorted grain from locals. Enraged, the people rose up and killed him.
