In late 196 BC, the emperor led his army against Ying Bu while sending Fan Kuai to attack Chen Xi.[8] One captive taken by Fan Kuai told him of Fan Qi's presence at Chen's court; other Xiongnu captives reported Zhang's continued residence with Modu. The emperor then directed Fan Kuai to lead his army against Yan, and Lu fled in exile to the Xiongnu, dying in 194 BC.[8]
Notes
- ^ The precise dating of the revolt varies in different volumes of the Records of the Grand Historian.[2] It probably occurred in the 9th lunar month of the 10th year of Liu Bang's reign (25 Sept.–23 Oct. 197 BC).[2]
- ^ One of the accounts of this even in the Records of the Grand Historian avers that the survivors were not fully pardoned but were still required to be tattooed as criminals.[11]

The month corresponds to 12 Nov to 10 Dec 196 BCE in the proleptic Julian calendar. In the modified Zhuanxu calendar used during the era, the 12th year of Liu Bang's reign starts from 12 Nov 196 BCE and ends on 01 Nov 195 BCE in the proleptic Julian calendar.
