國初，與虎捷都指揮使何徵戍晉州，會劉崇與契丹入寇，攻圍州城月餘，是時本州無帥，知州王萬敢不協物情，彥超與何徵協力固拒，累挫敵鋒。 Early in the dynasty he and He Zheng, commander of the Hujie army, garrisoned Jin Prefecture. When Liu Chong and the Khitans invaded they besieged the city for more than a month. The prefecture then had no military governor, and the prefect Wang Wang'an was unpopular. Yanchao and He Zheng held the city together in a stout defense and repeatedly drove back the enemy.
