The deputy general heard that Yan Liang crossed the river but Liu Yan was indifferent, and he couldn't help but be anxious, he found Liu Yan with great momentum and said Liu Yandao: "Yan Liang's army has crossed the river, why don't you send troops to stop it?" ”

"Yan Liang has already crossed the river, what's the point of going to stop it? Our mission is to keep the white horse tight, and don't ask anything else! Liu Yan replied.

Yu said angrily after hearing this: "What is the purpose of guarding the white horse? Isn't it just to prevent the enemy from crossing the river? Now that Yan Liang has crossed the river and does not stop the attack, what is the reason for sitting still here and waiting to be killed? ”

Liu Yansui said: "Yan Liang crossed the river and did not pass through our defense area, what does his crossing of the river have to do with us?" Our purpose is to garrison the White Horse, and as long as the White Horse is not lost, it is the greatest victory, and we do not have to take any responsibility for it, we must be clear about our purpose and not let things interfere with our goals! ”

"I don't want to reason with you, the enemy has crossed the river, but it is not for the generals to do it here, you don't want to bring my own troops and horses to stop it!" Yu Ban shook off and was about to leave.

"Stop! Ru'an dares to move without my orders? Don't forget, I'm the main general, but you dare to be like this? Liu Yan shouted.

Yu Ban turned around and said angrily: "What's wrong with the lord?" And what happened to the lieutenant? Since I am a lieutenant general, I have the right to speak, and in this situation, as the chief general, but do not seek to forge ahead, how can I be of the same heart with you? Since you will not move, I will go with my own soldiers and horses, and I will not obey! Then he turned and walked away.

Liu Yan was secretly stunned there, Yu Ban was a general under Cao Cao, his seniority was older than himself, he had just been newly appointed, and he did not have any military achievements. Yu Ban relied on his qualifications and did not obey his orders, and there was nothing he could do. After all, are people old people?

Yu Ban led more than 3,000 of his subordinates and hurried to the west to stop Yan Liangkai. Yu Ban, the word is written, Taishan Juping (now Tai'an South, Shandong Province) people. In the first year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, that is, in 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and Yu Ban, like many people who pursued fame, quickly joined the ranks of suppressing the Yellow Turbans. At this time, Yu Ban was just an unknown pawn in the ranks.

In the third year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (192 AD). A large number of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army poured into Yanzhou, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou at that time, died in battle during the conquest of the Yellow Turban, and in the face of the uncontrollable situation, Bao Xin and others elected Cao Cao, who was then the Taishou of Dongjun, to lead the Yanzhou pastor and lead the people to fight against the Yellow Turban. It is not known whether it was due to the accession of Cao Cao or the lack of organization of the Yellow Turbans, the balance of victory gradually tilted in favor of the officers and soldiers, and soon Bao Xin's army broke the main force of the Yellow Turbans in the east of Shouzhang. But unfortunately, in this battle, Bao Xin paid the price of his life for the victory, and finally died on the battlefield. Cao Cao pursued the Yellow Turban all the way. Until Jibei, and in the winter of that year, accepted the surrender of 300,000 Yellow Turban troops. From now on. An army composed of the elite of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans appeared under Cao Cao's tent, known as the "Qingzhou Soldiers".

This war in Yanzhou. It was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Cao Cao, who was originally more or less subordinate to Yuan Shao, and he not only gained a foothold in Yanzhou. has its own territory, but also incorporated a large number of troops, including not only the "Qingzhou soldiers", but also the army in the hands of Liu Dai and Bao Xin in the past.

At this time, Yu Ban was only a junior officer, serving as Dubo under General Wang Lang. But his performance quickly attracted Wang Lang's attention, and the historical records said that "Wang Lang was different, and he was recommended to be a general." Wang Lang's recommendation does look very exaggerated, a small Dubo, he said that he has the ability to be a general, Cao Cao heard it, of course, he was also very interested, so he summoned Yu Ban, exchanged and inquired about him, the result of the face was quite ideal, and then Yu Banlian was promoted to three levels, was appointed as a military Sima, and began his new career as a horseman.

Yu Ban fought quite bravely and tenaciously. During Cao Cao's eastern crusade, Yu Ban led his troops to defeat Gao Ya in Xuchang; In a series of battles such as attacking Dingtao, Lihu, and Yongqiu, Yu Banlian won successes one after another; Dealing with the Yellow Turban Army, Yu Ban was not ambiguous at all, once Cao Cao's camp was attacked by Liu Pi, Huang Shao and other Yellow Turban Army in Runan, Yu Ban stepped forward and defeated the invading enemy in one fell swoop, ensuring Cao Cao's safety; His position was promoted from the former Dubo to the current military commander.

Yu Ban is skilled in bow horses and outstanding martial arts, he is only 26 years old at this time, it is the peak of blood and energy, and he is also a hot-blooded young man, of course, he is also the age of self-confidence, there is a saying that "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", Yu Ban does not know much about Yan Liang, he is still quite confident in his own strength for so many years, and it is precisely because he does not know much about the strength of his opponent, so Yu Ban's courage is naturally a lot fatter.

Yu Ban is also pondering that he is now just a military Sima in Cao Cao, this military Sima is, to put it bluntly, the role of a chief of staff in the army, equivalent to a deputy general, is the kind of position that has lived under the people for a long time, as the saying goes, "being an official is not a deputy", although this deputy position has some power, after all, it is still the final say, there is the right to suggest but no right to decide, this taste is undoubtedly uncomfortable for the generals, Yu Ban has not followed Cao Cao for a long time, from the previous Du Bo to the current military Sima, I have to say that he can mix well, However, due to the low starting point, his age does not have any advantage at this time, and he sees that he will run to three in a few years, as the saying goes, "thirty and stand", how can he be mixed with a general at the age of thirty!

So for this goal, Yu Ban needs to perform well this time, how can he do it without giving himself a heavy burden? So this time he ignored Liu Yan's opposition and insisted on going to stop Yan Liang, although he had never fought with Yan Liang, but he still heard of Yan Liang's name, this is the boss of the "Hebei Four Court Pillars", that is to say, it is the number one fierce general under Yuan Shao, if he defeats Yan Liang, it means that he can sweep all the fierce generals under Yuan Shao, of course, this also fully proves his strength, Cao Cao will definitely be impressed by himself

Based on the desire for success and the pursuit of a better future, Yu Ban with 3,000 soldiers rushed to the west ferry, at this time Yan Liang's army has crossed the river more than half, only a few remaining men and horses have not crossed the river, compared to Yu Ban rushed to the west ferry, it is already dawn at ten o'clock, at this time the sky has dawned, after a whole night of tossing, Yan Liang's army successfully achieved the expected goal, Yan Liang crossed the horse and danced the knife, wearing silver armor, ranking first among the soldiers, but at this time I saw the east is the horizon direction of the dust covering the sky, as if there are infinite people and horses to kill, Immediately after that, the "click" of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, accompanied by the shouting of people, which was simply "people shouting and neighing". This kind of voice is getting closer, with the sound approaching, a large number of figures also come into view, and a flag is becoming more and more distinct, Yan Liang looked from afar, but saw the word "Yu" in the big book on the flag, he couldn't help but think: Yu? Who is it?

Yu Ban's army quickly approached Yan Liang, this time he didn't have time to sneak attack, Yan Liang had crossed the river at this time, the men and horses on both sides quickly encountered, the two soldiers and horses lined up and set up a formation, Yu Ban jumped out first, Yan Liang also jumped out, the two sides exchanged names, it was really the enemy identified by the other party, but Yan Liang heard that Yu Ban was not the identity of a military horse, and couldn't help sneering: "I am the general of Jizhou, you are not a military Sima of a district actually dare to challenge me, it is really beyond my strength!" ”

"You are a general? It's just a general under Yuan Shao, although I am a military Sima Ran is Cao Cao's subordinate, to deal with a so-called so-called general like you who is not worthy of the name, my military Sima is enough! Yu Ban retorted.

Yu Ban's words really angered Yan Liang, and Yan Liang couldn't help but be furious: "Vertical son An dares to despise me? "Shouting a slap horse dance knife straight to take Yu Ban, Yu Ban also urged the horse to come forward to meet Yan Liang, Yan Liang took the big knife straight, and slashed at Yu Ban, Yu Ban's eyes were quick to hand the steel gun, holding Yan Liang's big knife, but listening to the sound of "bang", the fire splashed everywhere, the golden light flashed, Yan Liang's knife went down, full of strength, Yu Ban's hands holding the steel gun were vibrated and felt a burst of numbness, Yan Liang's big knife pressed over, not only fierce, but also amazing, cut to Yu Ban's steel gun, Yan Liang pressed Yu Ban with all his strength, Yu Ban's steel spear was forced by Yan Liang's big knife to keep falling, although Yu Ban's teeth clenched and wanted to dismiss Yan Liang's big knife, but this can only be a pipe dream, the strength of this knife made him not have the slightest chance to breathe, "The expert will know if there is one as soon as he shoots", this style not only shocked his force but also directly touched his heart, Yan Liang's bravery greatly exceeded his imagination, Yan Liang's strength made Yu Ban's dream almost shattered.

Yu Ban saw that he couldn't resist Yan Liang, sold a flaw and pulled out the steel gun, dodging Yan Liang's big knife, at this time Yu Ban understood that he was not the opponent of the guy in front of him at all, this person's strength should be far above himself, "worthy of the four court pillars of Hebei", the force is really amazing, Yu Ban sighed silently in his heart, Yu Ban was no match for Yan Liang, so he turned to the duel of marksmanship, he wanted to let Yan Liang know that his marksmanship was so powerful, Yu Ban thought of this and swayed the steel gun to stab Yan Liang, Yu Ban's marksmanship is still relatively skilled, A pair of steel guns makes the body as light as a swallow, constantly churning, but his attack is simply "tickling" for Yan Liang, Yu Ban's marksmanship is good, but his strength is relatively weak, so Yan Liang's big knife quickly pulled his steel gun back, Yan Liang's big knife did not show weakness, looking for an opportunity to attack Yu Ban, Yan Liang's big knife is full of strength, the big knife comes quickly, although Yu Ban can catch it, it is even more difficult to turn Yan Liang's big knife back, and it is difficult to walk, Yan Liang's attack makes Yu Ban have no chance to refute, That is to say, in front of Yan Liang's big knife, Yu Ban has no chance to attack, and if there is no attack, it is equivalent to no hope, and there will be no victory, and Yu Ban is doomed to defeat (to be continued......
