Yu Ban is one of the five good generals of Cao Wei, and in later generations, because he was not guaranteed in his later years, his evaluation was almost the lowest, but before the ban surrendered to Guan Yu, he was the highest status among the generals with foreign surnames in the Cao Wei group at that time, and he had been promoted to General Zuo.

Historically, Yu Ban's military ability was not very strong, and he was best known for his rigorous attitude, and Yu Ban was relatively impersonal in the bad way.

【Military Career】

Yu Ban is a veteran under Cao Cao, and has followed him to conquer Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shao and other princes, quite a military exploit, in Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confrontation, Yu Ban's performance is more prominent.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Bao Xin gathered his disciples, and Yu Ban joined his team. When Cao Cao ruled Yanzhou, Yu Ban and his subordinates all went to Toushun and served as a captain as a subordinate of the general Wang Lang. At that time, Wang Lang was very surprised by Ban's talent, so he recommended him, saying that he could be qualified for the position of general. So Cao Cao summoned him, talked to him, appointed him as the Sima in the army, sent him to Xuzhou with troops, attacked Guangwei County, broke through the county seat, and Cao Cao named him the commander of the battle.

Later, Yu Ban accompanied Cao Cao to Puyang to crusade against Lü Bu, and Yu Ban alone led his troops to break through Lü Bu's two camps in the south of the city, and led his troops to defeat Gao Ya in Xuchang. Cao Cao's retinue attacked Shouzhang, Dingtao, and Lihu, surrounded Zhang Chao in Yongqiu, and occupied four cities. He also followed Cao Cao to defeat Liu Pi, Huang Shao and other troops of the Yellow Turban Army, and set up in Banliang. Huang Shao and others attacked Cao Cao's camp at night, met the subordinates of the forbidden leader, defeated the enemy, killed Huang Shao and others, and forced all the enemies to surrender. Yu Ban was promoted to Captain Pingyu. Then he followed Cao Cao again to surround Qiao Rui in Ku County, and beheaded Qiao Rui and four other enemy generals.

Later, Yu Ban followed Cao Cao to Wancheng and forced Zhang Xiu to surrender. As a result, Zhang Xiu rebelled, Cao Cao lost the battle, defeated and returned to Wuyin, Yu Ban found that the Qingzhou soldiers took the opportunity to loot when retreating, so they took the opportunity to restrain them, and then Cao Cao appreciated, so he recorded the merits before and after the ban, and named him the Marquis of Yishou Pavilion. Later, Yu Ban once again followed Cao Cao to attack Zhang Xiu in Sui County, and captured Lu Bu alive in Xiapi. In addition, he and Shi Jian and Cao Ren attacked Zhenggu with shooting dogs, defeated the enemy, and killed Zhenggu.

During the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yu Ban's performance was also quite good, Yu Ban first volunteered to serve as a striker, leading 2,000 infantry to defend Yanjin City, and Yuan's army took advantage of Cao Cao's crusade against Liu Bei to attack, but failed to break the city; Later, he and Le Jin and others led 5,000 horse infantry troops to attack Yuan Shao's other camps, breaking through two counties, many garrisons, and camps, so he was promoted to general Pi, and later returned to Guandu with Cao Cao. In the battle of Guandu, Yu Ban supervised the soldiers to defend the Yutu Mountain, fought hard, and the momentum was even higher, Yuan Shao was defeated, and Yu Ban was promoted to a partial general.

During Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, Yu Ban and Xiahoudun, Li Dian and others led troops to fight, and he and Xiahoudun were ambushed for a time. After Chang Fan was surrendered by Zhang Liao, he soon rebelled again, Cao Cao sent Yu Ban to suppress the conquest, after not defeating, Xiahou Yuan fought again with the Ban Combined Army, and even under more than ten of his strongholds, Chang Feng was the same as the Ban on the old, so he surrendered to him, and as a result, Yu Ban obeyed Cao Cao's previous orders and beheaded him in tears. Since then, it has become more important than the ban, and after the East China Sea was pacified, he was sealed as the general of Huwei.

When crusading against Chen Lan, Yu Ban fell into his trick of surrendering, so that he and Mei Cheng could converge, Zhang Liao crusaded against them, the military food was insufficient, and it was before and after the ban on escorting grain and grass that Zhang Liao finally won a big victory. In addition, 200 households were added to the ban, and the total number of households was 1,200.

At that time, Yu Ban and Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Zhang He, and Xu Huang all became famous generals, and every time Cao Cao went out to fight, he took turns to let them serve as the vanguard and queen of the palace, and Yu Ban led the troops seriously and neatly, and he did not take any of the captured property, so the reward was particularly heavy, but he restrained his subordinates with the law, so he was not very popular. Later, Yu Ban was promoted to General Zuo, holding the Jieyue, and Cao Cao divided 500 households into food estates and named one of his sons as a liehou.

【Late Festival is not guaranteed】

During the battle of Xiangfan, Cao Cao sent Yu Ban to rescue Cao Ren, but was flooded by Guan Yu Seventh Army, Pang De died in battle, Yu Ban surrendered, and later Guan Yu failed, Jiangling was captured by Lü Meng, Yu Ban also went to Jiangdong and became Sun Quan's guest, in Eastern Wu, Yu turned twice insulted him, Sun Quan later in order to unite Cao Pi, will be sent back in Ban.

Emperor Wen summoned Yu Ban, and when he saw that his hair was snow-white, his face was haggard, and he kowtowed and wept, so he comforted him with the things of Xun Lin's father and Meng Mingshi, and named him General Anyuan.

According to the "Book of Wei", it is said: "Xixun Lin's father was defeated in Yi, Meng Ming lost his teacher in Yi, and Qin and Jin did not replace him, so he was restored to his position." Later, Jin won Ditu, Qin Ba Xirong, a small country, and Yu Shangruos, and the situation is multiplied? The defeat of Fancheng, the flood came, and it was not the fault of the war, and it was reinstated and banned. ”

Later, Cao Pi wanted to send Yu Ban to envoy Wu Guo, and first let him go to Yecheng to pay homage to Cao Cao's mausoleum, but in advance let people paint Guan Yu in the mausoleum to defeat, Pang De was angry and unyielding, and Yu Ban surrendered. After Yu Ban saw it, he was ashamed and resentful, and fell ill and died. His son Yu Gui was named the Marquis of Yishou Pavilion and gave him the nickname of Marquis of Foran Li.

[Talking about the ban]

Although Yu Ban's military ability in history is not very good, it is not weak, although he did not have Zhang Liaowei Zhen Xiaoyaojin and Xu Huang when he was under Cao Cao, but the rest are still a lot, Xuzhou broke Guangwei, Yanzhou defeated Gaoya, Yuzhou beheaded Huang Shao, resisted Yuan Shao and guarded Yanjin, etc.

Yu Ban has no credit and hard work for the Cao Wei group, but he lost his reputation because of Xiangfan's surrender, and was finally humiliated to death, to be honest, Yu Ban also had no choice at that time, he was captured by Guan Yu, and if he did not surrender, he would be killed, and he was not the only one who surrendered, but Yu Ban's official position was the largest at that time.

And the reason why Yu Ban was used as a negative teaching material by Cao Wei, as well as the reason why Pang De died unyieldingly, the contrast between the two of them is too obvious, Pang De, who was thought to be likely to surrender, would rather die than surrender, and Yu Ban, who was Cao Wei's general, surrendered and survived, in contrast, Yu Ban might have been fine.

It is actually understandable that Yu Ban surrendered in the Battle of Xiangfan to survive, after all, he surrendered after the defeat with no way out, there is not much room for choice, if there is no example of Pang De, Yu Ban may not be so miserable later, the biggest possibility is just the second Wei species.
