用陳平謀而召絳侯周勃受詔床下，曰：「陳平亟馳傳載勃代噲將，平至軍中即斬噲頭！」 Following Chen Ping's plan, he summoned the Marquis of Jiang, Zhou Bo, to receive a secret edict at his bedside. The emperor commanded, "Chen Ping is to ride the imperial relay at full speed, taking Zhou Bo to replace Fan Kuai as commander. The moment Ping reaches the army, he is to behead Fan Kuai!"

噲受詔，即反接載檻車，傳詣長安，而令絳侯勃代將，將兵定燕反縣。 Fan Kuai received the edict and was immediately bound with his arms behind his back, loaded into a prison cart, and sent by relay to Chang'an. The Marquis of Jiang, Zhou Bo, replaced him as commander and led the troops to pacify the rebellious districts of Yan.
