Biography

刘贾。
汉书卷三十五 荆燕吴传第五:
  荆王刘贾,高帝从父兄也,不知其初起时。汉元年,还定三秦,贾为将军,定塞地,从东击项籍。
  汉王败成皋,北度河,得张耳、韩信军,军修武,深沟高垒,使贾将二万人,骑数百,击楚,度白马津入楚地,烧其积聚,以破其业,无以给项王军食。已而楚兵击之,贾辄避不肯与战,而与彭越相保。汉王追项籍至固陵,使贾南度淮围寿春。还至,使人间招楚大司马周殷。周殷反楚,佐贾举九江,迎英布兵,皆会垓下,诛项籍。汉王因使贾将九江兵,与太尉卢绾西南击临江王共尉,尉死,以临江为南郡。
  贾既有功,而高祖子弱,昆弟少,又不贤,欲王同姓以填天下,乃下诏曰:“将军刘贾有功,及择子弟可以为王者。”群臣皆曰:“立刘贾为荆王,王淮东。”立六年,而淮南王黥布反,东击荆。贾与战,弗胜,走富陵,为布军所杀。
