Jiang Ban 蔣班

Because Zhuge Dan had long been in Huainan, the court again made him Grand General Who Guards the East with honors equal to the Three Excellencies and had him direct the military affairs of Yang Province. The Wu grand generals Sun Jun, Lü Ju, Liu Zan and others, hearing of the disorder in Huainan, and with Wen Qin just then coming over to them, took him along and came straight to Shouchun. But since Zhuge Dan's armies had already arrived and the city could not be attacked, they withdrew. Zhuge Dan sent the general Jiang Ban to pursue and attack them; he beheaded Liu Zan, sent his head to the capital, and took his seal and tally. Zhuge Dan was advanced in enfeoffment to Marquis of Gaoping and transferred to Grand General Who Conquers the East. Records, Wei 28 §33

The Biographies of the Three Successor Rulers in the Records of Wu record this event under the 2nd year of Wufeng (255). In the intercalary month of that year Sun Jun, together with Lü Ju, General of Agile Cavalry, and Liu Zan, General of the Left, set out to make a surprise attack on Shouchun, but when Zhuge Dan of Wei entered Shouchun he led his troops back. In the 2nd month Liu Zan was defeated at Gupi by Jiang Ban, a subordinate general of Zhuge Dan, and Liu Zan and the generals Sun Leng, Jiang Xiu and others were all killed. Records, Wu 3 §9–10

In the 5th month of the 2nd year of Ganlu (257), when Zhuge Dan was summoned to become Minister of Works, he grew all the more afraid and finally rebelled, closing the city gates and holding Shouchun. In the 6th month the General-in-Chief Sima Zhao, commanding 260,000 troops of the central and provincial armies, came to the Huai River to attack him and surrounded Shouchun in a double ring, inside and out.

The Wu general Zhu Yi twice came with a large army to meet Zhuge Dan and the others, but Zhou Tai (州泰) and others broke his vanguard every time, and Sun Chen, angry that Zhu Yi fought without advancing, put him to death. The food in the city dwindled, no relief came from outside, and the host had nothing to rely on. The generals Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi, both trusted confidants of Zhuge Dan who took part in planning his affairs, abandoned Zhuge Dan, climbed over the city wall and went over to the General-in-Chief of their own accord. The General-in-Chief then used a stratagem of sowing discord to win over Quan Yi (全懌) and the others, and when Quan Yi and the others opened the city gate and came out leading several thousand men, the city was struck with fear and did not know what to do.
