Xiang Yu's four hundred thousand faced Liu Bang's one hundred thousand; adviser Fan Zeng planned to kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet.

项xiàng伯bó连夜lián yè告诉gào su张zhāng良liáng,张zhāng良liáng拉lā刘liú邦bāng来lái赴fù宴yàn。

Xiang Bo warned Zhang Liang overnight, and Liu Bang came to the feast.

Fan Kuai burst in glaring; the king gave him meat and wine. Liu Bang excused himself and fled by a side path — the most dangerous dinner in history.
