Xiang Liang
Xiang Liang led his men across the Yangtze River later and built his new base at Xiapi (下邳; present-day Pizhou, Jiangsu). At the time, some other rebel forces pledged allegiance to him, further increasing the size of his army to between 60,000 and 70,000. In 208 BC, following the advice of Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang sent his men to search for Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Huai I of Chu, and enthroned Xiong as "King Huai II of Chu". The king was actually a puppet ruler under Xiang Liang's control then, and was used by Xiang to rally support from people eager to help him overthrow the Qin dynasty and restore the former Chu state. Xiang Liang scored some victories against the Qin armies in a few battles.
