Person
Han Guang
Han Guang was a commander sent north by Wu Chen, the rebel king of Zhao, during the revolt against the Qin, who instead made himself King of Yan in 209 BCE. When Xiang Yu divided China into the Eighteen Kingdoms in 206 BCE, he moved Han Guang to the remote Kingdom of Liaodong and gave Yan to Zang Tu. Han Guang refused to leave, and Zang Tu killed him and took Liaodong.
