Fan Kuai (before the 2nd century? -Former 189), general in the early Han Dynasty, subordinate to the Han army, a founding hero, was named Wuyang Hou. In his early years, he killed dogs for a living. His most famous story is that he stepped forward to save Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, at the Hongmen banquet, and he was a man of the hour during the struggle between Chu and Han. Born in poverty, he killed dogs in his early years. He had a close relationship with Liu Bang and once hid in Mangdang Mountain (now northeast of Yongcheng, Henan Province) with Liu Bang. With Xiao He and together, * * * put on the ring of the qin dynasty. Liu Bang became Pei Gong and asked Fan Kuai to paint his portrait.
Follow the adjutant Following Liu Bang, he first attacked Hu Ling and Yu Fang, defeated the army of Lishui County Governor and Chief in Fengxian County, and then pacified Peixian County. In the battle between Qidong and Sima Ling, he performed heroically, beheaded fifteen heads, repelled the enemy, and was named a national doctor. When resisting Zhang Han's army, Fan Kuai took the lead in boarding the city, beheaded 23 people and was made a doctor. Since then, he often followed Liu Bang's expedition and made great achievements. Siege Yang,, broken Li You (son of Reese) army, * * * beheaded 16, was given a title. In the battle of besieging the viceroy of Dongjun County, he defeated the enemy, beheaded 14 people and captured 1 1 people, and was awarded the title of five viceroy. Later, he defeated Qin He defenders, Zhao Ben, Yang Xiong and other troops. He took the lead for many times, captured the beheading and made meritorious deeds, and was named Cheng Jun of Qing and Xi 'an. After doing more, the income will be sealed. When Fan Kuai attacked Wuguan and took the overlord, he led the army to slay a surname, with ten heads, captured 140 people, and fell by 2,900.
Liu Bang led the army to enter and seal off the customs, and claimed the title of king in Guanzhong according to Chu Huaiwang's agreement of "first deciding the king of Guanzhong", which aroused Xiang Yu's dissatisfaction. He also sent Dangyang people, Bu and others to fetch Hangu Pass. Xiang Yu was stationed in Xixi (now the west bank of Xingfeng, northeast of Lintong, Shaanxi) after entering the customs, trying to kill Liu Bangjun. As early as after Liu Bang entered Xianyang, Fan Kuai urged Liu Bang to return to military hegemony (southeast of Jin 'an) and not to covet Qin Gong's luxury.
After Xiang Yu went to Enemy at the Gates, Liu Bang was weak, so he went to Hong Men with more than 0/00 entourage led by Sean to apologize, followed by Fan Kuai. Xiang Yu gave a banquet at the Hongmen, and the wine was drunk. Fan Zeng, the father of Ya, planned to kill Liu Bang and instructed Xiang Zhuang to dance the sword on the table, hoping to assassinate Pei Gong. At this point, only Liu Bang and Sean were sitting at the table. Sean told Fan Kuai about the assassination outside the account. Fan Kuai broke into Xiang Yu's camp with a sword shield and knocked down the soldiers with a halberd shield. After entering the account, "standing to the west and staring at Xiang Yu, my eyes are cracked and my hair is up." Xiang Yu sat up straight with a sword and asked, "Who is this man?" Sean said: "He is a participant of Pei Gong in Fan Kuai." Xiang Yu was grateful. "He is a strong man" and gave him a glass of wine and a pig leg. Fan Kuai swallowed, drew his sword and cut the meat. Finish the meat in a minute. Xiang Yu asked, "Can General Fan still drink?" Fan Kuai rebuked Xiang Yu and said, "I will never leave. Dot, other drinks! And Pei Gong settled Xianyang first, and the violent teacher took over and waited for the king of Qi. Your majesty arrived today. According to the villain, I have a gap with Pei. I am afraid that the world will be solved, and I doubt your majesty. " (Biography of Historical Records Van Ito Irrigation) Xiang Yu was silent. At this time, Liu Bang called Fan Kuai out of the camp on the pretext of going to the toilet. Liu Bang rode a horse alone, and Fan Kuai and other four people escorted him on foot and sneaked back to the camp from the mountain road. And let Sean apologize to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu didn't want to kill Liu Bang because he was satisfied. At that time, without Fan Kuai's criticism of Xiang Yu, Liu Bang's career almost failed. After Liu Bang was named Hanwang by Xiang Yu, he gave Fan Kuai the title of Liehou and Wuhou, and was promoted to be a doctor. Liu bang entered Hanzhong with Hanwang.
After Liu Bang gained a firm foothold in Hanzhong, he used Han Xin, a famous soldier, to command the battle of Sanqin, thus opening the prelude to the Chu-Han War. In the war, Fan Kuai alone or together with Hanwang fought the armies of Xiancheng, Zhang Han's younger brother Zhang Han and Zhao Ben in Xixian County. He is very brave and often takes the lead in entering the city, beheading and capturing the enemy. Because of his work, he was promoted to a doctor, became a general, and took Fanxiang in Ling Du as his food city. After that, he took part in the anti-Chu war, slaughtered and boiled jujube, and defeated Huang in the outside world, becoming a Chu army, and captured Zou, Lu, Xian Qiu and Xue alive. After Xiang Yu defeated Hanwang in Pengcheng, Fan Kuai stationed in Xingyang, adding 2,000 households as his food city. A year later, with the high-impedance, he pursued Xiang Yu, captured and captured 4,000 soldiers of General Chu Zhou, surrounded Xiang Yu in Chen County, and returned with great victory.
After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, known as Emperor Gaozu in history. Because of Fan Kuai's persistent fighting, we will add 800 food cities. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the princes with different surnames rebelled constantly, and Fan Kuai became the main commander-in-chief of the rebel army. First attack the Tibetan tea, seize the Tibetan tea, and pacify the Yan state; Han Xin, the king of Chu, rebelled, and Fan Kuai took Gaudi to Chen to capture Han Xin, the king of Chu, and pacify Chu. What's more, he was made a marquis. Take Wuyang as the food city,No. Wuyang Hou; In the name of a general, he followed Emperor Gaudi in his crusade against Han Wangxin, beheaded Han Wangxin, and * * * pacified the land generation with the crimson Hou Zhoubo, and added 1,500 grain cities for his work; Because of repelling Chen and Man Qiu's army, winning glory for the country and breaking the cypress people, he first boarded and collected 27 counties such as Zhao Qinghe and Changshan, and was promoted to Prime Minister Zuo. His army defeated Chen's cavalry in Henggu, beheaded General Zhao and captured ten people, including acting prime minister, chief Sun Fen and general. With the generals * * *, 73 towns and cities were solved. In the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu (before 195), he led troops to attack Lu Wan, the king of Yan, and pacify the 18 counties and 51 townships of Yan. Gaudi increased his fiefs to 5400. Generally speaking, Fan Kuai's military exploits: fighting with Gaozu, beheading 176 rank, and capturing 288 people; I led the troops to fight alone, defeated the seven armies, captured five cities, and settled six counties and fifty-two counties. Captured one prime minister, twelve generals and eleven generals. Fan Kuai became an important general in the Han Dynasty from establishment to stability.
Fan Kuai followed Liu Bang all the time, and he was Liu Bang's favorite. Later, he married Lu Houmei and Lu Xu, and gave birth to a son, Fan Heng, so his relationship with the emperor became closer. But because he was Lv Hou's brother-in-law, he was almost punished.
When Ying Bu rebelled, Gaozu was seriously ill and didn't want to see anyone. Imperial edict to guard the palace, ministers may not see. Even the frequency and Guan Ying are afraid to go in. Ten days later, Fan Kuai finally couldn't help it, and led the ministers "straight into the row"-pushed the door and went straight into the palace. Gaozu slept with the eunuch on his pillow. When Fan Kuai met Gaudi, he said tearfully, "How powerful your majesty and ministers are waiting so richly to rule the world! It's settled today, so why bother! Besides, your majesty is seriously ill, so I'm afraid I'll be surprised and I won't see you. Don't you and an official absolutely can't care? And your majesty doesn't see Zhao Gao alone? " ("Historical Records, Biography and Irrigation") Gaozu laughed: Hongmen Banquet Fan Kuai Liu Baobang.
In BC 195, the high-impedance Liu Bang returned from defeating the rebel Ying Bu and fell ill after a traumatic attack. No sooner had he returned to Chang 'an than he heard that Lu Wan, the prince of Yan, had defected, so he sent Fan Kuai as the prime minister to make a crusade. After Fan Kuai left, someone said to Gaozu, "Fan Kuai and Lv Hou are in cahoots and want to wait until the emperor is 100 years old. The emperor cannot but be vigilant. " Gaozu has long been dissatisfied with Lv Hou's interference in state affairs. Now I hear that Lv Hou colluded with her brother-in-law Fan Kuai, and I immediately feel that the situation is serious. He decided to change his position and discuss the matter with Chen Ping. Finally, he took Chen Ping's advice, sent a letter to Fan Kuai in the name of Chen Ping, and secretly took General Zhou Bo to the car. When they arrived at the barracks, they announced that they would cut Fan Kuai and switch to frequency. High-impedance asked Chen Ping to bring Fan Kuai's head for him to examine as soon as possible. Chen Ping and Zhou Bo set out at once, carefully combining them while walking on the road. Chen Ping said, "Fan Kuai is an old subordinate of the emperor. He works very hard. In addition, he is Lv Hou's brother-in-law, so to speak, he is a royal relative and a noble gentleman. At the moment, the emperor was angry. If he regrets it, what shall we do? Besides, the emperor is so ill, and Fan Kuai is Lv Hou's brother-in-law. The two sisters will inevitably gossip around the emperor and will inevitably blame us both. " Zhou Bo had no idea at the moment, so he asked, "Don't let Fan Kuai go?" Chen Ping said, "We can't let him go. We might as well tie him to a prison car and send him to Chang' an, or let the emperor decide for himself. " Zhou Bo also thinks this is a good idea. Before arriving at the military camp in Fan Kuai, Chen Ping ordered the construction of a high platform as a place to deliver messages, and also sent Kang Kai, the actor of Fan Kuai in the TV series The Legend of Chu and Han.
People hold a festival (a symbol) to address Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai learned that Chen Ping, a civilian, was the only one coming. He thought it was just to convey the usual letters and didn't think much. He immediately rode alone to get the imperial edict. Unexpectedly, the frequency of the military commander suddenly appeared behind the stage, and Fan Kuai was about to be arrested and nailed into the prison car. Frequency immediately rushed to Zhong Jun tent again to escort the van back to Chang 'an instead of Fan Kuai and Chen Ping. On the way, Chen Ping suddenly heard that Liu Bang was dead. He thinks it's too bad that Lv Hou must preside over the political affairs of North Korea now. The only good news is that, fortunately, Fan Kuai was not beheaded before, but he was able to explain to Lv Hou. But even so, I'm afraid of sleeping. Someone will speak ill of Lv Hou in front of him. I have to go to Chang 'an first and make myself clear. He immediately rode to Chang 'an, where he met an envoy and sent him to Xingyang. Then, he made another plan, stumbled into the palace, knelt before the tomb of Emperor Gaozu, and said in tears, "You asked me to kill Fan Kuai on the spot, but I dare not dispose of the minister easily. I have escorted Fan Kuai back today. " This is obviously addressed to the living, and it is a tribute to Lv Hou. The Lv Hou sisters were relieved to hear that Fan Kuai was not dead. Fan Kuai was released and his title and fief were restored.
In the sixth year of filial piety, Fan Kuai died and died as a marquis of Wu.
