彤聞世祖從薊還，失軍，欲至信都，乃先使五官掾張萬、督郵尹綏，選精騎二千餘匹，緣路迎世祖軍。 Hearing that Guangwu was retreating from Ji stripped of his main force and heading for Xindu, Pi Tong sent registrar Zhang Wan and touring investigator Yin Sui ahead with over two thousand picked cavalry to escort him along the route.

比至堂陽，堂陽已反屬王郎，彤使張萬、尹綏先曉譬吏民，世祖夜至，即開門出迎。 By the time they reached Tangyang, the town had gone over to Wang Lang. Pi Tong sent Zhang Wan and Yin Sui to reason with the people; Guangwu arrived after dark, and the gates flew open in welcome.

初，張萬，尹綏與彤俱迎世祖，皆拜偏將軍，亦從征伐。 Zhang Wan and Yin Sui had ridden out with Pi Tong to receive Guangwu; each was named lieutenant general and saw action in the wars.

萬封重平侯，綏封平臺侯。 Zhang Wan became marquis of Chongping and Yin Sui marquis of Pingtai.
