Chu Huaiwang made an agreement with all the generals:' The one who first breaks the Qin Dynasty and enters Xianyang is king.' Today, Pei Gong first broke the Qin Dynasty and entered Xianyang, but he dared not go near. He closed the official residence and returned to the army to wait for the arrival of the king. Therefore, people who will keep the customs should be prepared for him to steal in and out. Hard work and high work, the marquis is not paid, but listens to the details.

Hongmen Banquet refers to a banquet held in Hongmen (now Hongmenbao Village, Xingfeng, Lintong District, Xi, Shaanxi Province) on the outskirts of Xianyang, the capital of Qin Dynasty, in 206 BC. Participants included two anti-Qin Jun leaders, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
This banquet had an important influence on the peasant war and the Chu-Han war at the end of Qin Dynasty, and was regarded as the indirect reason for the downfall of Xiang Yu and the successful establishment of the Han Dynasty by Liu Bang. Later generations often use the word "Hongmen Banquet" as a metaphor for hostile banquets. Sima Qian, the "Shi Sheng", first recorded this in Historical Records of Xiang Yu. Later, a large number of related literary works were derived.
