Some of these insurgent forces claimed to be restoring the former <a href="/wiki/Seven_Warring_States" title="Seven Warring States">six states</a> which were annexed by the <a href="/wiki/Qin_(state)" title="Qin (state)">Qin state</a> in a <a href="/wiki/Qin%27s_wars_of_unification" title="Qin's wars of unification">series of wars</a> from 230 BC to 221 BC. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were two prominent leaders who emerged from among the rebels. In 208 BC, Xiang Yu and his uncle <a href="/wiki/Xiang_Liang" title="Xiang Liang">Xiang Liang</a> installed <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Yi_of_Chu" title="Emperor Yi of Chu">King Huai II</a> as the nominal ruler of the <a href="/wiki/Chu_(state)" title="Chu (state)">Chu state</a> while they were the ones who controlled the Chu army. In late 208 BC, Xiang Liang was killed in action at the Battle of Dingtao so the Chu army came under King Huai II's control. King Huai II sent Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to lead two separate armies to attack the Qin heartland of <a href="/wiki/Guanzhong" title="Guanzhong">Guanzhong</a>, and promised that whoever entered that region first would be made King of Guanzhong. </p><p>In late 207 BC, Liu Bang's army conquered <a href="/wiki/Wu_Pass" title="Wu Pass">Wu Pass</a> and seized control of Guanzhong and the Qin capital <a href="/wiki/Xianyang" title="Xianyang">Xianyang</a> (present-day <a href="/wiki/Xi%27an" title="Xi'an">Xi'an</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shaanxi" title="Shaanxi">Shaanxi</a>). The last Qin emperor, <a href="/wiki/Ziying_of_Qin" title="Ziying of Qin">Ziying</a>, surrendered to Liu Bang, marking the end of the Qin dynasty. After occupying Xianyang, Liu Bang gave strict orders to his men, forbidding them from looting and pillaging the city and harming the civilian populace. Liu Bang also sent troops to garrison at <a href="/wiki/Hangu_Pass" title="Hangu Pass">Hangu Pass</a> to block Xiang Yu from entering Guanzhong. Around the time, Xiang Yu's army had just defeated a Qin army led by <a href="/wiki/Zhang_Han_(Qin_dynasty)" title="Zhang Han (Qin dynasty)">Zhang Han</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Julu" title="Battle of Julu">Battle of Julu</a>. When Xiang Yu arrived at Hangu Pass, he was displeased to hear that Liu Bang had already occupied Guanzhong, so he attacked and conquered the pass, pushing on to west of the Xi River (<span lang="zh">戲水</span>; a tributary of the <a href="/wiki/Wei_River" title="Wei River">Wei River</a> flowing through present-day <a href="/wiki/Lintong_District" class="mw-redirect" title="Lintong District">Lintong District</a>, Xi'an, Shaanxi). Liu Bang and his army were based in Bashang (<span lang="zh">灞上</span>; also known as White Deer Plain (<span lang="zh">白鹿原</span>); about 10 km southeast of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi) then. The strengths of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's armies at the time were estimated to be 400,000 and 100,000 respectively. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Prelude">Prelude</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Feast_at_Swan_Goose_Gate&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Prelude"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Dahuting_mural_detail_of_a_dancer,_Eastern_Han_Dynasty.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Dahuting_mural_detail_of_a_dancer%2C_Eastern_Han_Dynasty.jpg/220px-Dahuting_mural_detail_of_a_dancer%2C_Eastern_Han_Dynasty.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Dahuting_mural_detail_of_a_dancer%2C_Eastern_Han_Dynasty.jpg/330px-Dahuting_mural_detail_of_a_dancer%2C_Eastern_Han_Dynasty.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Dahuting_mural_detail_of_a_dancer%2C_Eastern_Han_Dynasty.jpg/440px-Dahuting_mural_detail_of_a_dancer%2C_Eastern_Han_Dynasty.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="664" /></a><figcaption>Detail of a larger mural, showing a musician and a dancer, from the <a href="/wiki/Dahuting" title="Dahuting">Dahuting</a> Tombs</figcaption></figure> <p>Cao Wushang (<span lang="zh">曹無傷</span>), a defector from Liu Bang's side, secretly sent a messenger to Xiang Yu to inform him that Liu Bang was planning to declare himself King of Guanzhong in accordance with King Huai II's earlier promise, while <a href="/wiki/Ziying" class="mw-redirect" title="Ziying">Ziying</a> would serve as Liu Bang's chancellor. Cao Wushang also added that Liu Bang had seized all the riches of Xianyang for himself. Xiang Yu was furious when he heard this and planned to attack Liu Bang. Xiang Yu's adviser, <a href="/wiki/Fan_Zeng" title="Fan Zeng">Fan Zeng</a>, felt that Liu Bang posed a threat to his lord so he urged Xiang Yu to eliminate Liu Bang as soon as possible. </p><p>One of Xiang Yu's uncles, <a href="/wiki/Xiang_Bo" title="Xiang Bo">Xiang Bo</a>, shared a close friendship with Liu Bang's adviser <a href="/wiki/Zhang_Liang_(Western_Han)" title="Zhang Liang (Western Han)">Zhang Liang</a>. Xiang Bo feared for his friend's life so he sneaked to Liu Bang's camp to warn Zhang Liang about the peril he was in, telling Zhang Liang to flee. Liu Bang was shocked when Zhang Liang related the news to him, and he sought advice from Zhang Liang to resolve the crisis. Zhang Liang instructed Liu Bang to enlist the help of Xiang Bo to reduce Xiang Yu's suspicions. Liu Bang met Xiang Bo and treated him like an honoured guest, flattering Xiang Bo and pretending to arrange for a marriage between his son and Xiang Bo's daughter while asking Xiang Bo to help him speak to Xiang Yu. When Xiang Bo returned to Xiang Yu's camp later, he assured his nephew that Liu Bang had no ill intentions, and conveyed Liu Bang's message that he was willing to submit to Xiang Yu. </p> <div

Liu Bang brought about 100 men with him to meet Xiang Yu at Swan Goose Gate (<span lang="zh">鴻門</span>), where Xiang Yu had prepared a banquet. Liu Bang explained that he had managed to enter Guanzhong first because of sheer luck, and apologised to Xiang Yu for robbing him of his glory while extolling Xiang Yu's valour in battle. Liu Bang also explained that the misunderstanding was caused by vile words from someone plotting to sow discord between him and Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu then pointed out that it was Cao Wushang who told him about Liu Bang's supposed intentions. He invited Liu Bang to partake in the banquet. </p><p>The main parties involved in the feast were seated in the following arrangement: Xiang Yu and <a href="/wiki/Xiang_Bo" title="Xiang Bo">Xiang Bo</a> faced east; <a href="/wiki/Fan_Zeng" title="Fan Zeng">Fan Zeng</a> faced south; Liu Bang faced north; <a href="/wiki/Zhang_Liang_(Western_Han)" title="Zhang Liang (Western Han)">Zhang Liang</a> faced west. According to custom, the east-facing seat was the most respectable place, usually reserved for the guest, while the south-facing seat was reserved for the lord or host, while his subjects would face north. The seating arrangement indicated that Xiang Yu merely treated Liu Bang as a subject, while Liu Bang, in taking the north-facing seat, had shown that he was willing to submit to Xiang Yu.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During the banquet, Fan Zeng made signals and hinted many times to Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu ignored him. Fan Zeng then summoned Xiang Yu's cousin <a href="/wiki/Xiang_Zhuang" title="Xiang Zhuang">Xiang Zhuang</a>, instructing him to pretend to perform a <a href="/wiki/Sword_dance" title="Sword dance">sword dance</a> to entertain the guests and find an opportunity to assassinate Liu Bang. Xiang Zhuang started dancing after Xiang Yu approved, but Xiang Bo offered to join the performance and he blocked Xiang Zhuang with his body whenever the latter thrust his sword towards Liu Bang. </p><p>In the meantime, Zhang Liang left the feast and went outside to summon <a href="/wiki/Fan_Kuai" title="Fan Kuai">Fan Kuai</a>, one of Liu Bang's companions. He gave some instructions to Fan Kuai and returned to his seat. Fan Kuai then burst into the banquet area despite not being invited, dressed in full armour and armed with his sword and shield, interrupting the sword dance and glaring at Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was impressed with Fan Kuai's bravado and asked for his name, calling him a "brave warrior". He ordered his men to serve wine to Fan Kuai, which he gulped down. Xiang Yu then offered Fan Kuai a cut of meat (a <a href="/wiki/Boston_butt" title="Boston butt">pork shoulder</a>). Fan Kuai placed the meat on his shield and used his sword to cut off chunks and eat. Xiang Yu was even more impressed and he asked Fan Kuai if he wanted more wine. Fan Kuai then made a lengthy speech about Liu Bang's accomplishments, stating how it would be unjust for Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang, but also implicitly affirming that his lord would not challenge Xiang Yu's authority. </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>"I do not fear death. A cup of wine is sufficient for me. The King of Qin had a heart like that of a tiger and a wolf—he killed countless people and meted out all sorts of tortures. This caused everyone to rebel against him. King Huai previously made an agreement with all the generals that whoever conquered Qin and entered Xianyang first would be king. Now that the Duke of Pei (Liu Bang) had subjugated Qin and occupied Xianyang, he did not harm the people, but instead sealed the palace and moved his army to Bashang to await your arrival. The reason why he sent troops to guard the passes is because bandits are rampant around this area. Such is the hard work he has done, but he has yet to receive any reward.
