At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world took a number of righteous actions. Zhao Di, a soldier of the valley, Han Guang, a general of the army of the north, favored Yan Di, was supported by Yan Di’s noble heroes, and established himself as the King of Yan. After the destruction of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu wanted to be the king of his country. He divided the world and made all the generals the marquises. In the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), Han Guang, the king of Yan, was the king of Liaodong, and Zangda was the king of Yan. Han Guang refused to migrate to Liaodong. In the autumn and August, Zang Dou killed Han Guang and merged his land.
