After Zhang Yan ordered the army to clean up the battlefield, the scouts came to report that Yu Ban had led the remnants of the army to Changyi.

Zhang Yan made a quick decision, after some planning, he decided to lead the cavalry to attack Changyi alone, and sent Chen Ying to attack Kang's father, Xu Sheng to attack Juye, Mi Fang to attack Rencheng, the troops were divided into four routes, and the dangerous place in the east of Yanzhou was captured with lightning speed, cutting off Cao Cao's retreat route from Xuzhou.

After the order was issued, Zhang Yan gathered all the cavalry and went to chase Yu Ban in the starry night, once Yu Ban arrived in Changyi, Changyi would be on guard, and when it attacked again, it would be much more difficult.

He happened to take advantage of this opportunity not only to capture Yu Ban, but also to occupy Changyi.

Changyi is a big city in Yanzhou, not only the county seat of Shanyang County, but also the seat of Yanzhou's assassin history, and also a place where money and grain are widely collected.

Now Cao Cao is attacking Xuzhou with all his strength, and after Cao Ren was defeated, the rear of Yanzhou was empty, and Zhang Yan was just cheaper.

Zhang Yan led the cavalry to go first that night, all the way west from Gaoping County, and pursued Yu Ban along the horseshoe prints left by Yu Ban.

Zhang Yan did not sleep all the way, Yu Pingming arrived at Fanghe County, there were not many soldiers in the county, in the face of the sudden arrival of Xuzhou soldiers, there was no resistance, Fanghe County surrendered without a fight.

He rested for a while in Fanghe County, and after a full meal, he found the county order and asked about the news of Yu Ban.

After learning that Yu Ban did not stay here, Zhang Yan led the cavalry to continue the pursuit.

When he arrived in Dongyan County, the Dongyi County Commander waited at the gate of the city early and prepared wine and food for Zhang Yan to enjoy.

Only then did Zhang Yan know that Yu Ban had stayed in Dongyi County and had just left, and informed him that there were pursuers behind him, so that Dongyi County ordered to entertain the pursuers in this way to avoid Dongyi County being harmed.

The commander of Dongyi County was very aware of current affairs, not only sent wine and food, but also took the initiative to surrender.

After Zhang Yan used the wine and food, he set off again to pursue Yu Ban, and he kept going non-stop along the way, and he was getting closer and closer to Yu Ban.

Yu Ban led the remnants of the army from Gaoping County all the way to the territory of Changyi, and when night fell, Yu Ban finally arrived at the city of Changyi.

The soldiers on the city of Changyi were nervous when they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city, and the archers also opened their bows and arrows one after another, waiting for the battle.

When the arriving cavalry came to the city, there was a faint light of fire, and the defenders on the city wall saw that it was a cavalry wearing Cao's clothes, so they relaxed their vigilance.

"The trapped lieutenant has arrived, quickly open the city gate and let us in, the Xuzhou soldiers are about to be killed......" A cavalry of the Cao army came to the city and shouted at the city.

When the guards on the city wall heard this, they were all surprised, how could the Xuzhou soldiers come here?

A military Sima hurriedly said: "The night is dark, I can't tell clearly, I don't have the right to open the city gate, please wait a while, the small one will go and report, please Taishou Lord decide!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a guard went down the city tower, and after a while, a man wearing an official uniform appeared on the city tower, the man was burly, his face was dignified, his eyes were bright, his mouth was big, and he had a small goatee on his chin.

Lu Qian saw that there were about 200 cavalry under the city, the leader of whom was wearing a helmet and armor, covered in blood, but because the sky was dark, he couldn't identify who it was, so he immediately said: "It's hard to distinguish the night, please take a few steps forward from Captain Yu!" ”

Yu Ban rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, raised his face, and shouted at Lu Qian on the city tower: "Lu Taishou, quickly open the city gate and let me in." Xuzhou Bing is right behind me, and I'm going to be there in a moment......"

"Didn't Captain Yu follow the lord to attack Xuzhou, why did he appear here?" Lu Qian interrupted Yu Ban's words and asked.

Yu Bandao: "The lord sent me to Gaoping County to help Cao Ren, the captain of Li Feng, who knew that General Cao Ren easily ventured, and was ambushed by the Xuzhou soldiers in Guangqi County, surrounded by the Xuzhou Corps, and when I arrived in Guangqi County, General Cao Ren had been wiped out, and even General Cao Ren himself was captured by the Xuzhou soldiers. I led the cavalry to rescue General Cao Ren, but I was outnumbered and almost surrounded by Xuzhou soldiers, and my subordinates were killed and wounded, so I had to lead the remnants of the army to retreat. Changyi has a wide range of money and grain, and now that the army in Yanzhou is empty, I expected that the Xuzhou soldiers would inevitably attack this place, so I came here non-stop and reported the news......"

At this moment, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves came from the darkness, and there was an uplifting shout, interrupting Yu Ban's words.

Lu Qian suddenly became nervous and hurriedly ordered the archers to prepare.

Yu Ban shouted: "Lu Taishou, the Xuzhou soldiers are coming, quickly open the city gate and let us in, I will help you hold this city......"

In the darkness, Zhang Yan's thunderous voice suddenly came out, interrupting Yu Ban's call: "Captain Yu, since you can't open the city gate, forget it, anyway, with Changyi's troops, you won't be able to resist me for long!" However, this time, I will still count your first credit, and when the time comes, I will say a few kind words for you in front of Tao Yuanjun. ”

Lu Qian stood on the city tower, listening carefully, but seeing that his face was blue, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, he directly snatched a big bow from an archer, opened the bow and arrows, aimed at Yu Ban, and shouted: "Yu Ban!" The lord has always treated you well, but I didn't expect you to sell the lord for glory and eat my arrow! ”

With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out of the string and flew directly towards Yu Ban.

Yu Ban was taken aback, he never expected that Lu Qian would shoot himself with an arrow, and when he realized that he was in danger, the arrow had already flown in front of him, making him unavoidable.

At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out of the darkness and collided with the arrow shot by Lu Qian, but the force was extremely fast, and it actually split Lu Qian's arrow into two, but the momentum did not decrease at all, and flew towards Lu Qian again.

Lu Qian's eyes widened, and he was surprised to see this arrow shooting towards him, and he was even more convinced that Yu Ban was a traitor.

He hurriedly dodged the arrow, and with a gloomy face, he said to his subordinates: "Release the arrow!" Anyone who comes near the walls of the city will be killed! ”

With an order, arrows rained down on the city wall, shooting towards Yu Ban and the others.

Yu Ban hurriedly swung his spear and swept away the arrows, but his subordinates were shot dead by more than a hundred people.

"Lu Qian! I am working for the Lord with you, and I have no grievances, how can you conclude that I am a traitor for glory based on the words of others? Yu Ban was annoyed in his heart, and while waving the iron spear to block the arrows that were being shot, he shouted at Lu Qian on the city tower.

Lu Qian wholeheartedly believed that Yu Ban was a traitor, and he was indifferent to the forbidden words, and shouted at the archers around him: "Give me arrows beyond the ban, and shoot those who are forbidden to death, and there will be a heavy reward!" ”

After hearing this, the archers suddenly came to their senses, and they all regarded Yu Ban as a live target, aimed at Yu Ban, and released arrows towards Yu Ban.

Yu Ban suddenly became the target of public criticism, although he was unwilling, but he was helpless.

He hurried his horse and ran away, and as soon as he walked on his front foot, the arrow hit the ground where he had stood, and if he had taken a step too late, he would have been shot into a hedgehog.

Unfortunately, all the cavalry under Yu Ban's subordinates were killed by random arrows, and none of them survived.

Yu Ban looked up to the sky and roared, roared, threw the iron gun in his hand to the ground, pulled out the sword in his waist, and shouted: "Heaven and earth are so big, why don't I have a forbidden place, what is the meaning of my life?" ”

After speaking, Yu Ban wanted to commit suicide with a sword.

It was too late, it was fast, and a phantom suddenly rushed out of the darkness, and quickly swept past the forbidden side, and it turned out to be Zhang Yan riding a dark cloud on a snow horse.

Zhang Yan shook his wrist, raised the iron spear and flew away with the long sword in the forbidden hand, and with a stretch of the long arm, he directly captured the forbidden hand, put it on the horse's back, and disappeared directly into the darkness.

Seeing this, Lu Qian on the city tower spat and scolded the ban again.

Zhang Yan took the ban to a forest, and after reining in the horses, he threw the ban directly to the ground.

Xuzhou soldiers hugged up with ropes, wanting to tie up Yu Ban, but were stopped by Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan jumped off the horse, and when he saw Yu Ban sitting on the ground, he looked depressed and unwilling, so he said: "Captain Yu, you worked hard for Cao Cao, but in the end you ended up like this, are you willing?" ”

"It's all because of you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be what I am now!" Yu Ban raised his head and looked at Zhang Yan viciously.

Zhang Yan said: "Captain Yu, you should thank me." Cao Cao's subordinates are full of talents, there are not many more of you, and there are no less of you, and although you are quite talented, you have not been able to be reused by Cao Cao. Instead of you following Cao Cao in obscurity, it is better to follow me, I can make you a captain, a general, and I can also make you famous all over the world! Even if I let you go now, you won't be able to go back to Cao Cao, because I've already let people spread the news that you surrendered to me......"

"You're so despicable!" Yu Ban said angrily, "The lord is wise and powerful, and he will definitely be able to see through your carving insect skills!" ”

"Haha...... Even if Cao Cao believes you, can you guarantee that Cao Cao's subordinates believe you? If they really believed you, Lu Qian wouldn't have shot you with an arrow just now because of my words......

Yu Ban frowned, his face darkened, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

"Hello haode, think about it, I'll give you a night's time."

Zhang Yan asked Haode to take care of Yu Ban, and he went to rest himself. After a day and night of galloping, the army was sleepy and tired, so they hid in a dense forest outside the city of Changyi to rest, recuperate, and wait for dawn.

At this time, Yu Ban was very distressed, he did not take refuge in Cao Cao for a few years, if he talked about military exploits, he also gained a lot, but Cao Cao did not seem to trust the foreign surname very much, and handed over the power to Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others, some of these people are Cao Cao's brothers, and some have an in-law relationship with Cao Cao, outsiders want to gain trust, but it is very difficult.

Yu Ban thought about it for a night, and finally decided to leave Cao Cao and follow Zhang Yan, who valued him.

In peacetime, under the leadership of Xuzhou soldiers, Yu Ban came to Zhang Yan, knelt down on one knee and said: "The general of the defeated army is banned, from now on, I am willing to serve under the general's account, and I hope that the general will be perfect!" ”

Zhang Yan was overjoyed, and immediately helped him up, and said busily: "It is really my blessing to have a general like you under my account, I will appoint you as the captain of the martial guard now, and I hope you can serve me wholeheartedly." ”

"General, Changyi is a place where Cao Cao hoarded money and grain, and if he captures Changyi, he can cut off Cao Cao's grain route. As long as the general gives me 500 soldiers and horses, I can capture Changyi and dedicate it to the general, which can be regarded as a welcome gift for me to serve the general! I just don't know if the general will believe me? Yu Ban asked.

Zhang Yan said: "There is no doubt about employing people, no suspicion of people, since I have decided to use you, I will never doubt you, let alone five hundred soldiers and horses, even if it is a thousand soldiers and horses, and even all the subordinates I am leading now, all of them can be dispatched by you." ”

"General, five hundred people are enough, and if there are too many people, it is easy to do bad things."

Zhang Yan really gave Yu Ban 500 soldiers and horses, and they were all cavalry.

Yu Ban saw that Zhang Yan did not have any doubts about his general, and he was very moved, he led the five hundred cavalry given by Zhang Yan, and after breakfast, he said goodbye to Zhang Yan and led them out of the woods.
