Wu Ban, whose courtesy name is Yuanxiong, was from Chenliu County, Yanzhou.

His father Wu Kuang was once the confidant general of He Jin, the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was very skilled in martial arts and decisive.

He Jin failed to kill the eunuch and was killed. Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang stepped forward and joined forces with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to kill all the eunuchs, and attacked He Miao, the general who betrayed He Jin.

Because the situation in Luoyang was very complicated and the ministers were in danger, Wu Kuang asked Wu Bancheng's family to go to Yizhou to join his clan brother Wu Yi.

The Wu Ban was not Liu Yan's direct team, but later joined Wu Yi.

But he was naturally not an incompetent person to be valued by Liu Zhang.

Wu Ban was very skilled in martial arts and was generous and chivalrous. After his clan's sister was widowed, he still made great progress with his martial arts and abilities and was ranked as the magistrate of Jianning County.

Since he had decided to attack, Wu Ban completely let go of his hands and feet, did not avoid danger, and led the army to attack himself.

That night, after Zhang Bao and Guan Xing led their troops into the ambush circle, Wu Ban, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan divided their troops into three groups, and at the first tenth level, they rushed straight into Sun Huan Village.

Ban Wu ordered the soldiers to set fire on all sides. Sun Hengjun woke up in his sleep. The morale of the army was in chaos. He could not tell the east and west in the dark. The soldiers searched for their way and ran around.

Wu Ban, Zhang Nan and Feng Xi led the army to cover up the defeated army, and countless people died in the Jiangdong army.

Cui Yu replaced Zhu Ran and led 10,000 troops to rescue Sun Heng.

Because he did not believe in the information of the surrendered soldiers in his heart, he was afraid of being ambushed by Liu Bei's army, Cui Yu sent a large number of scouts to explore the way forward, and led his troops and then slowly walked.

The march in the dark was slow, and Cui Yu deliberately slowed down his speed. He sent troops for three hours and walked less than thirty miles, but he could see the lights of Sun Heng's military camp from afar.

It is almost the first update, and you have to pass through a valley in front, which is a good place for ambushing troops.

When Cui Yu saw that Sun Heng's military camp was very quiet, he simply asked the army to stop and rest, and waited for the scout to come back before deciding whether to continue to rescue.

Before the scout came back, he suddenly saw a fire in Sun Heng's camp soaring into the sky, and a faint cry of killing came.

When Cui Yu saw that the information provided by the surrendered soldiers was true, he marched slowly like this and delayed the rescue. He could not afford it at that time, and he would not wait for the scout to return and urged his troops to advance.

Just now, when the scout came to report that there was a suspected ambush in the valley ahead.

Cui Yu was able to become Zhu Ran's confidant not because he was very skilled in martial arts, but because he was meticulous and cautious in using troops, so he was relieved to lead his troops to rescue him.

If it were the past, Cui Yu heard that there was an ambush in front of him, so he naturally turned around and left.

But this time it was different. Because of his own mistake in judgment, he was slowing down all the way, delaying the rescue time, and he could not give up again. He could not explain to Zhu Ran after he went back.

Therefore, Cui Yu continued to march, hoping to rush through the valley before the ambush was launched.

But it was obviously too late, and I could only hear the sound of drums in the valley: two teams of people came out from the fire.

Guan Xing on the left, Zhang Bao on the right.

Both of them took the lead and led the army into the Jiangdong Army, like wolves entering the flock of sheep.

The two groups attacked each other and the Jiangdong army was in chaos.

Cui Yu was shocked. He had the chance to return to his army and retreat.

But at this point, he could not bear the charge of being unable to advance to the enemy and failing to rescue, so he had to bite the bullet and fight against the horse and dance.

Cui Yu walked forward dozens of steps and met Zhang Bao. The two sides had just joined the horses together, and Zhang Bao took off a big knife with a spear and captured it alive.

After Zhu Ran sent Cui Yu to lead the troops away, he did not dare to neglect it. He was also afraid that Shamoke would take the opportunity to attack.

But he was just a false alarm, and there was no movement in Shamoko's military camp, and the spies sent to monitor did not send any signal of an enemy attack.

He was about to rest in the tent, but suddenly he saw fires soaring into the sky dozens of miles away. It was obvious that Cui Yu's army was ambushed.

Zhu Ran's first reaction was that Liu Bei's army did not attack Sun Heng, but wanted to attack him.

Zhu Ran was not only one of the commander-in-chiefs to go to the expedition, but also the garrison of Jiangling County, so he could not afford to lose!

Therefore, he made a quick decision and led his troops to escape from Shamoko's army, retreated to the territory of Jiangling County, guarded the pass, and sent an emergency document to Sun Quan.

Sun Huan was successfully robbed by the Wu Ban, but after all, he followed Sun Quan and suffered several defeats in Hefei. He did not gain anything, but at least he had learned the ability to escape.

In this unfavorable situation, Sun Heng led his trusted guards to retreat while conquering the defeated troops, quickly left the battlefield, and actually gathered more than 10,000 troops.

Sun Heng was defeated again, but he was not panicked. After leading the defeated army out, he did not just escape, but wanted to find a city that could be held to block Liu Bei's army's attack, so he asked Li Yidao, who had returned from Zigui City for success or failure:

"General Li, you have been stationed here. Do you know where to go on this road? Where can you stay strong in the city and have a lot of food? Can you stay for a long time?"

Li Yi replied:

"This time I went to Yiling City, Zhengbei, which is a place where the army can stockpile food and grass. The city is strong and there are enough food, and you can station tens of thousands of troops."

Sun Heng led the defeated army to look for Yiling and left. Shortly after they entered the city, they had just arranged the soldiers, and Wu Ban led Zhang Nan and Feng Xi to chase him.

Seeing Sun Heng's banner appearing on the top of the city, Squad Leader Wu sighed, knowing that it is not easy to seize the city, but he still didn't want to retreat, so he ordered Yiling City to be surrounded on all sides.

Wu Ban replaced Zhang Fei as the pioneer, and he kept attracting and not being able to do so. He was cautious all the way and was very low-key.

But this does not mean that Wu Ban is timid, nor does it mean that he does not want to make contributions. This time, he has made a comprehensive plan and his goal is not as simple as defeating Sun Heng.

When a large army goes to war, food and grass are the top priority.

Wu Ban had long had an idea about the place where the Jiangdong Army's food and grass stocks were hoarded. Once he could occupy Yiling City and had sufficient food and grass, it would be like the army was invincible.

Therefore, after Wu Ban defeated Sun Heng, he did not follow and pursue him, but immediately reorganized the army, leaving several small schools to clean up the battlefield and occupy the camp.

Wu Ban personally led Zhang Nan and Feng Xi to Yiling City, hoping to quietly capture the city and take the food and supplies of Yiling City into his pocket.

After all, the army was deeply penetrated into the enemy territory, and Wu Ban did not dare to be reckless. He stopped all the way, sneaked quietly, and went straight to Yiling City.

Who knew that although Sun Heng was defeated, he actually led the army to retreat to Yiling City, which made Wu Ban's plan fail!

Wu Ban was naturally unwilling to give up. After discussing with Zhang Nan and Feng Xi, he decided to encircle Yiling City first and start a fierce attack on the city gate.

The siege of Wu Ban has not yet begun, Sun Heng led Li Yi, Liu A and others to the top of the city.

The two sides did not test it and entered a fierce confrontation from the beginning. Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao ambushed Cui Yu's reinforcements. Because they were not easy to chase in the dark, they caught not many prisoners. Capturing Cui Yu alive was their greatest result.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were originally Liu Bei's escort commander, but this time they came to fight Sun Heng. Now that Sun Heng is defeated, they have completed the mission.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing won all three battles and had already gained a foothold in the army. They did not need to compete for merit with Wu Ban.

Moreover, as a genuine pioneer, Wu Ban did not tell them the next action.

Seeing that Wu Ban had occupied Sun Heng's camp, the two went to ask for a meeting.

But the young generals guarding the camp told them that Wu Ban led his troops to pursue Sun Heng and had not returned yet.

Guan Xing didn't want to wait any longer, so he escorted Cui Yu back to Zigui and reported his merits to Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei was overjoyed, he issued an order to behead Cui Yu and show him the public, and rewarded the three armies with great rewards.

Since then, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing have made a name for themselves in the army and are known as the "Little Guan and Zhang".

After Cui Yu was killed, although Liu Bei killed people and established his authority, he was also a prisoner after all. All the generals in Jiangnan were frightened, but this also strengthened their determination to resist Liu Bei.
