楚人聞淮陰侯破趙，彭越數反梁地，則分兵救之。 When the Chu forces heard that the Marquis of Huaiyin had defeated Zhao and that Peng Yue was raiding Liang territory repeatedly, they divided their troops to deal with these threats.

淮陰方東擊齊，漢王數困滎陽、成皋，計欲捐成皋以東，屯鞏、洛以拒楚。 The Marquis of Huaiyin was then striking east against Qi. The King of Han had been in dire straits at Xingyang and Chenggao time and again, and was planning to abandon Chenggao and all the territory east of it, garrisoning Gong and Luo to resist Chu.
