Zhang Han (died 205 BC) was a military general of the
Qin dynasty. When uprisings erupted throughout China during the reign of
Qin Er Shi, Zhang Han led the Qin armies and successfully quelled several of these rebel forces. In 207 BC, Zhang Han was defeated by
Xiang Yu of
Chu at the
Battle of Julu, after which he surrendered along with his 200,000 troops. He was conferred the title of "King of Yong" (雍王) by Xiang Yu and given part of the lands in
Guanzhong as his fief when Xiang split the former Qin Empire into the
Eighteen Kingdoms after the fall of the Qin dynasty. Zhang Han's territory was conquered by
Liu Bang in 206 BC, and he committed suicide a year later.
