At the battle of Gaixia, Liu Bang won and assumed he had also been granted the title of emperor. Today, he is also mentioned as Emperor Gaozu. His first challenge as emperor was to stop the Mongol Invasions. The invasions would plague the Qin. Gauzu's plan was threefold: choose families through a lottery system to move towards the northern border and work on the Great Wall. They hoped that this would make the Mongols not want to come in. The third option was to negotiate a deal: silk for peace.
