Liu Bang gathered up three thousand volunteer troops from his hometown, Pei County of Jiangsu Province. Since he was the one who rounded up his troops he was the leader of the rebellion. In 206 B.C. Liu Bang took his army to the Capital City of Xian Yang and ended the Qin Dynasty's rule. When he became emperor he got rid of the cruel rules, laws, and taxes. After a few years his army was not large enough to go to battle against Xiang Yu and was forced to give up his forces to Ba Shang.
