Fan Kuai was born in Surabaya at the end of Qin Dynasty, Lv Hou's brother-in-law, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty, and the military commander. Fan Kuai was born in poverty, and his early occupation was killing dogs. He had a close relationship with Liu Bang. He once hid in Mangdang Mountain with Liu Bang, and together with Xiao He, he pushed Liu Bang to rise up against Qin. Later, he was almost punished because he was Lv Hou's brother-in-law. After Liu Bang's death, Lv Hou released Fan Kuai and restored his title and fief. In the sixth year of Emperor Xiaohui, Fan Kuai died of natural causes.
The most brilliant moment in Fan Kuai's life was at the Hongmen banquet. He broke into the camp and blamed Xiang Yu for saving Liu Bang. The Battle of Gaixia, in which Fan Kuai participated, was a landmark turning point in the history of China, with far-reaching influence. It is listed as one of the seven ancient battles in the world and is known as "Waterloo in the East".
Fan Kuai's interpersonal relationship
1, Fan Kuai's wife
Fan Kuai's wife is Qilu, who became an official after Fan Kuai's death. Qilu's "arbitrary things, ministers are afraid of" made him hate it. After Lv Hou listened to politics, he monopolized the state affairs, and the ministers were very afraid.
2. Fan Kuai's son
Fan Kuai's son is Fan Heng. After the Zhu-Lu Rebellion, ministers killed Lu's clan relatives and Lu Heng's relatives, and Fan Heng was killed. Wuyang has been waiting for months. Fan Shi, born out of society, later inherited Wuyang Hou and restored his original title and food city. Fan Shi died after twenty-nine years in office, and posthumous title is a desolate place.
3. Fan Kuai's grandson
Fan Kuai's grandson, Fan Taguang, inherited the title of Wuyang Hou. However, the scheeren of the Hou family in Wuyang offended Fan Taguang and was punished by Fan Taguang, so he held a grudge. So he wrote a secret report to Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, saying, "Fan Taguang is not Fan's son, but Fan's younger brother ordered his wife and the children born to Fan. Therefore, Fan Taguang should not inherit the title of Fan Shiguang.
