Battle of Chenggao
The Battle of Chenggao was a prolonged struggle in 204–203 BCE between Liu Bang of Han and Xiang Yu of Chu for the strategic town of Chenggao, near the Ao granary in modern Henan, China. While Xiang Yu was away, the Han forces lured the Chu commander Cao Jiu across the Si River and destroyed his army, after which Cao Jiu, Sima Xin and Dong Yi killed themselves. The victory helped decide the war in Liu Bang's favour.
