Yu Ban, first in the first year of the Han Ling Emperor Zhongping (184), he surrendered his army to suppress the Yellow Turban Army at Bao Xin in Jibei, and then after Bao Xin died in the third year of Emperor Chuping of Han Xian (192), he transferred to Cao Cao, the leader of Yanzhou, and successively participated in a series of battles such as Lü Bu, Wei ZhangChao, Ping Huang Turban, Broken Zhang Xiu, Attack on Qiu Gu, Conquest of Yuan Shao, Fight Liu Bei, Dingchang Feng Rebellion, etc., and the ranks of officials were gradually promoted from Du Bo, Sima Jun, Du Chen Du, Ping Yu Colonel, General Pei, General Pei, General Hu Wei to General Zuo, and successively enfeoffed Yishou Tinghou, False Jieyu, and Fenyi 500 households. Yin Yizi was made a Marquis of Lie, and together with Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others, he was made a good general of the fifth son.
In his military career, Yu Ban started as a small soldier, and in the hands of bao Xin, the first lord, he suddenly became an unknown pawn for eight years. It was not until after surrendering to Cao Cao that Yu Ban became a Dubo under the general Wang Lang. Du bo, an officer in charge of a hundred men. The name of the military official of the Three Kingdoms Wei. The Tongdian Bing II quotes Cao Cao's "Infantry Battle Order": "If there are those who do not advance in the army, Wu Chang kills them; If there are those who do not advance, Wu Chang kills them; if there are those who do not advance, they will be killed." Later, he attracted the attention of Wang Lang for his outstanding performance, and was recommended to Cao Cao with his great talent of "only serving as a great general", and was appointed as a military sima (兵司馬).
Sima Jun, Zhou was a subordinate officer of the Great Sima and Han was a subordinate officer of the Great General, and his rank was better than Qianshi, that is, the eighty hu of the moon, and he was in charge of leading the troops. Yu Ban, relying on his military ability, was not only valued by Cao Cao, but also promoted to the third rank, and even stepped into Cao Cao's inner circle. In particular, Yu Ban's composure and calmness on the way to defeat Wuyin (present-day northwestern Biyang County, Henan) after losing the battle with Zhang Xiu in Wancheng (present-day Nanyang, Henan) reflected the demeanor of a general. Lieutenant Pingyu (平虏校尉), a lieutenant of the Miscellaneous School, was placed by Cao Cao in the first year of Jian'an (196) as a military leader and accompanied the army in conquest.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu XVII, and Zhang Leyu's Biography of Zhang Xu records that when there was military turmoil, each of them went to seek Taizu, and the forbidden dule sent hundreds of people, and the war and lead, although there were dead and wounded. The chase slowed down a little, forbidding the whole line, and returned with a drum. ...... When the prohibition comes, first set up a stronghold, and from time to time pay homage to Taizu. Rather than saying that superb martial arts and bravery in battle are the external manifestations of a general, it is better to say that perseverance, determination, and calmness are the intrinsic qualities of a general. Yu Ban's battle of Wancheng (the Battle of Shuishui) between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, especially the general's demeanor reflected in cao cao's retreat after the defeat and the early stage of the camp, was remarkable, and fully withstood Cao Cao's high praise.
The details are as follows.
First, military discipline is strict.
In the Battle of Wancheng, because Zhang Xiu surrendered first and then rebelled, while Cao Cao relaxed his vigilance, he surprised Cao Cao's military camp, which caught Cao Cao by surprise, thus causing Dianwei li to die in battle, Cao Ang to save his father and Cao Ang to withdraw to Xuchang. On the way back, Cao Cao's armies were in chaos, fleeing for their lives, their military appearance disappeared, and military discipline disappeared. What's more, the Qingzhou Army also took advantage of the opportunity to plunder. Only the hundreds of people under the command of the Forbidden House were not chaotic in formation and military discipline was not scattered, and it was impossible to see the signs of a defeated army and a sign of retreat.
Second, respond freely.
The army led by Yu Forbidden Was on the way to retreat, and fought and retreated, and although there were losses, its formation was not chaotic. When Zhang Xiu's pursuing troops slowed down and did not follow closely, Yu Ban calmly and methodically gathered and sorted out the team, and even beat the war drum and returned to the camp in a mighty way, not at all showing that it was a scattered soldier who fled in defeat, but more like a victorious division that returned triumphantly.
Third, the arrangements are appropriate.
When Yu Ban led his troops to withdraw to Cao Jun's garrison, instead of first reporting to the commander Cao Cao on the situation on the way to retreat, nor did he report on stopping the plundering of the Qingzhou soldiers on the way, he first set up camps and set up walls and defensive buildings so that he could effectively defend the pursuing troops and continue to block the incoming troops, so that his army was in an indestructible situation, and then directly cover cao Cao's army in a solid situation.
Yu Ban, in the battle of Cao Jun's defeat at the Battle of Shuishui, the inner qualities of courage, composure and calmness shown along the way to evacuate Wancheng were precisely the demeanor of a general. As Cao Cao said about the prohibition in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu XVII, Zhang Leyu Zhang Xu Biography: "The difficulty of the water is difficult, I am anxious, the general is in chaos, the stronghold is strong, there is an immovable section, although the ancient famous generals, why add!" ”
Author's note: demeanor, the earliest is to describe the literary excellence, and later extended to the number of etiquette, extended to the spirit, the amount of instruments. The original meaning of demeanor refers to people's demeanor and posture, which is a natural outpouring of a person's inner strength and a charm. Yu Ban, as a Du Bo who commanded a hundred people, showed the courage of a general in the cao army's defeat at the Battle of Shuishui and the evacuation of Wancheng.
