About this person
During this time, he was known for using guerrilla-style tactics to perform hit-and-run raids and wear down Xiang Yu's forces. After the Han dynasty was established, Liu Bang initially rewarded Peng Yue for his contributions by making him a vassal king - King of Liang. In 196 BCE, after hearing rumours that Peng Yue was plotting against him, Liu Bang had Peng Yue arrested, demoted to the status of a commoner, and sent into exile. Later that year, Peng Yue was accused of treason and executed along with his family.
