Is “Shiji (Annals of Gaozu) records that Fan Kuai pacified Dai and killed Chen Xi at Dangcheng; Hanshu (Annals of Emperor Gaozu) records that Zhou Bo did — the two histories conflict outright on the killer.” true?

histories differ

Regarding who killed Chen Xi, the Records of the Grand Historian, Annals of Gaozu, records: 'Fan Kuai led troops separately to pacify Dai and killed Chen Xi at Dangcheng.' However, the History of the Han, Annals of Emperor Gaozu, volume 1, part 1, records: 'Zhou Bo pacified Dai and killed Chen Xi at Dangcheng.' The two books clearly conflict on the identity of the killer.

陈
Chen Xi

Shiji and Hanshu conflict over who killed Chen Xi: Fan Kuai or Zhou Bo
