Anecdote of Fan Kuai's birth.
Fan Kuai and Liu Bang are fellow villagers, and a number of fellow villagers of Liu Bang are not high in birth. Naturally, Fan Kuai is no better. The relationship between the two people is quite good. Liu Bang was a small curator, and Fan Kuai killed dogs for a living. Two people became friends. There is another story. At that time, Liu Bang loved dog meat and often went to eat dog meat from Fan Kuai, but he always paid for it. Fan Kuai was embarrassed to care about Liu Bang, but Liu Bang was delicious. It is always bad not to give it to him. One day, Fan Kuai hid in the east bank of Surabaya.
Liu Bang also wants to eat in the river, but he doesn't even have the money to eat dog meat. How can he cross the river? At this moment, I saw an old turtle swimming over. This turtle is as big as a boat. Liu bang asked the tortoise to carry him across the river to eat dog meat. The tortoise really sent him there. Fan Kuai had no choice but to give it to him. Knowing that the tortoise helped Liu Bang cross the river, he was so angry that he cheated the tortoise out, killed it and stewed it with dog meat. Later, Fan Kuai's dog meat sold very well. Thinking that it might be the tortoise, he dried the soup with synthetic blank soil and preserved it. Every time he goes to cook the meat, water precipitates from the meat.
Fan Kuai supported Liu Bang.
Although Fan Kuai was born in a dog-killing family, he was broad-minded and knowledgeable. Although Liu Bang often has some rogues and local ruffians, he is brave and can do great things. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the peasant uprising was surging, Fan Kuai, Xiao He and others * * * elected Liu Bang as Pei Gong to fight against the State of Qin. In advance, Liu Bang once led people to hide near Dangshan. It was Fan Kuai who let him out and led the local people to fight against Qin. It can be said that Fan Kuai is just a dog meat seller without Liu Bang, but it would not be so easy without Fan Kuai Liu Bang.
Fan Kuai Hehongmen Banquet
The highlight of Fan Kuai's history is the Hongmen Banquet recorded in Sima Qian's Historical Records. If it weren't for Fan Kuai's performance at the hongmen banquet, liu bang's dream of reunifying the central plains would be dashed. Fan Kuai has always been Liu Bang's adjutant, and all he can do is bravely kill the enemy. History books rarely record how many people killed the enemy by themselves, and Fan Kuai is one of them. On the management of rear munitions, he can't compare with Xiao He, on the arrangement of soldiers, on Han Xin, and on tactics. He can't compare with Sean, but only he dares to save Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet. At the Hongmen banquet, Liu Bang led hundreds of relatives to apologize. Fan Zeng had the wisdom to persuade Xiang Yu to get rid of his arch-rival, Liu Bang, and invited Xiang Zhuang to dance the sword at the banquet in order to kill Liu Bang. At that time, Sean was the only one with Liu Bang at the banquet. When Sean saw that the situation was critical, he went out to find Fan Kuai and tried to save the emergency.
At that time, all the people who followed Liu Bang were elites. Why Fan Kuai? Let's see how Fan Kuai did it. When Fan Kuai was knocked down by a guard with a shield in his hand, he pretended not to be careful and directly avoided turning against him. After entering the inner account, he stood in the west, that is, with Xiang Yu. As a guard, he knows that this is the posture of catching thieves first, and the goal is clearly to point to Xiang Yu. The party was going on, and suddenly someone broke in, and the rhythm was naturally out of order.
Xiang Yu rewards wine and meat by asking questions, which is Xiang Yu's generous temper. And Fan Kuai borrowed Xiang Yu's question to explain a passage for Liu Bang, praising Liu Bang for keeping his promise. Xiang Yu should not be killed by a villain, otherwise he would be no different from the tyrannical ruler of the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu was refuted by Fan Kuai's words, so he had to ask Fan Kuai to sit down. Thus, Fan Kuai is still a man of wisdom and courage. If Zhang Fei and Li Kui jy had gone in at that time, Zhang Fei's history books recorded that he was brave and good at fighting, but he couldn't say anything. Li Kui jy must have been killed by a sledgehammer, and the ending may have been killed by Xiang Yu's soldiers. He can kill a few more people at most, but he can't save his master. Thus, Fan Kuai is definitely not an ordinary brave general.
Fan Kuai advised Liu Bang not to covet luxury.
After Liu Bang's army invaded Xianyang, Liu Bang's men were all poor. Seeing the grandeur of Qin Gong and the prosperity of the city, they got carried away for a while and took advantage of the chaos to rob. They can't wait to move all the gold and silver treasures. Liu bang didn't hold back and ran to the Qin palace to wander around. So many beautiful women, good Ma Bao Jun, rare treasures are all his own, he can't help floating up. Looking at these treasures, he didn't want to leave, holding the beautiful women lying on the dragon bed in his bedroom and had a dream. Who will persuade Liu Bang to wake up at this time?
