In the twelfth year of the Han dynasty, the King of Yan, Lu Wan, launched a rebellion. At that time, Liu Bang, the founder of the Han dynasty, was seriously injured and in crisis during the war against Ying Bu, the King of Huainan. He was seriously ill and was about to die. As he was unable to lead the army to suppress the rebellion personally, he appointed Fan Kuai as the Left Prime Minister to lead the army to suppress the rebellion. However, Lu Wan did not engage in direct combat with Fan Kuai sent by Liu Bang. Instead, he took more than a thousand trusted followers and waited outside the Great Wall, waiting for Liu Bang to recover and surrender proactively. In this way, Fan Kuai suppressed the rebellion in Yan with little effort.

However, before Fan Kuai returned to the capital, Liu Bang sent Zhou Bo to replace him and sent Chen Ping to execute Fan Kuai. Why did Liu Bang want to kill Fan Kuai?

Actually, the reason why Liu Bang wanted to eliminate Fan Kuai was because he had evidence that Fan Kuai planned to kill his third son Liu Ruyi after Liu Bang's death.

According to historical records, someone falsely accused Fan Kuai. The person who reported Fan Kuai's plan to Liu Bang clearly stated that Fan Kuai intended to act immediately after Liu Bang's death and use the army of Yan to attack Liu Ruyi, the King of Zhao.

At this time, Liu Bang was seriously ill, and he did not want any of his sons to be harmed. Therefore, Liu Bang had no choice but to eliminate Fan Kuai to protect Liu Ruyi's safety. This was a difficult decision made by Liu Bang to maintain the stability and unity of his family.
