Cao Cao pointed to a general below and said: "Under the command, the general wearing golden armor and standing on horseback with a sword is none other than Yan Liang. When the Eighteenth Route Princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao mentioned that he was The famous general in Hebei is none other than Yan Liang."
Guan Yu glanced at it, laughed loudly, and said to Cao Cao: "I think Yan Liang is selling his own head with a label!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he stared at Guan Yu for a long time and said, "Please don't underestimate him."
Guan Yu knew that Cao Cao would not believe it, so he stood up and said, "Well, although my martial arts skills are not very good, I am willing to go among the thousands of troops to take his head and present it to the prime minister myself."
Zhang Liao stood aside, naturally very dissatisfied with Guan Yu's arrogance. After all, he had seen Yan Liang's martial arts, and it was not inferior to his. If what Guan Yu said was true, then where would he be? He said: "In the army No joke, please don’t ignore it, Mr. Yun.”
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Liao and showed a satisfied smile. In fact, he also thought of a way when he was observing. The opponent's sword was immediately drawn, and the army was in order. He must be a person who abides by the rules. Now he has a red rabbit horse. , didn't answer after he went down, and just took his head out of surprise. If he waited for everyone to prepare, and followed the single-on-one mode, naturally he wouldn't be able to take advantage.
So he dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Sword backwards and ran down the mountain to get it. His eyes were wide open and his eyebrows were straight. With the speed of the red rabbit horse, he rushed directly towards Yan Liang.
Yan Liang was resting under the canopy and was in a relaxed state. When he saw Guan Yu arriving quickly, he asked the opponent's name and then started the duel process.
As soon as he finished asking, Guan Yu had already rushed to him and replied: "I am really Guan Yu."
Yan Liang thought, isn't this the second brother mentioned by Yu Yi of Daoxiang Village? I think he just came to die, so he didn't pay attention to it. Guan Yu ran to him, jumped up from the horse, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword moved accordingly. Yan Liang stood on the original position. He raised his weapon high, ready to block the opponent's attack. However, Guan Yu's attack concentrated the inertia of the red rabbit horse's running, his own gravity, and all his strength. Yan Liang could easily block it. , I saw the Qinglong Yanyue Sword falling high, and after touching Yan Liang's weapon, he cut it off directly. At the same time, the momentum did not decrease, and slashed Yan Liang's head. He raised the knife and dropped it. The surrounding soldiers had not stopped yet. Came out surprised.
Guan Yu walked to Yan Liang's body as if there was no one around, picked up the head, put it back on the red rabbit horse, tied it to the horse's neck, and mounted the horse with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Because the horse was too fast, it was like entering Yuan Jun's formation. No one is the same.
After a while, the Hebei soldiers were shocked. They did not expect that their main leader would be strangled by him. They fled for their lives without fighting.
When Cao Cao saw this situation on the top of the mountain, he was filled with admiration. Naturally, he would not give up such an opportunity. He led Cao's army to attack. Yuan's army suffered numerous casualties and casualties. His horses and equipment were all thrown away, and many of them were robbed by Cao's army.
Guan Yu rode the red rabbit horse back to the mountain. When the soldiers saw Yan Liang's head, they all celebrated and praised him. Guan Yu dismounted and presented Yan Liang's head to Cao Cao, looking at him with a smile.
After Cao Cao inspected it, he sighed: "The general is really a god-like figure!"
Guan Yu said: "It's just a trivial matter, what's worthy of praise! You must know that my third brother Zhang Fei, taking the general's head out of a million troops is like picking out an item from a bag, which is incomparable to me."
Cao Cao did not expect that there was someone more powerful than Guan Yu, so he quickly sent someone to get pen and ink and said: "When you meet Zhang Fei in the future, you must not underestimate the enemy." He randomly asked someone to write it on the most conspicuous place on his robe to prevent him from forgetting it later. .
Yan Liang's front soldiers fled. Someone met Yuan Shao on the way and reported the situation. He said that he met a red-faced and long-bearded general who chopped off Yan Liang's head with a knife and then left with the head. The mount was extremely fast, and entering my formation was like entering an uninhabited area, which is why we were defeated.
Yuan Shao asked: "Who is this red-faced man?"
Jushou replied: "This man is Liu Bei's second brother, named Guan Yu, and he has now joined Cao Cao."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao was furious and pointed at Liu Bei and said: "Your second brother beheaded my beloved general. You must also be in contact with Cao Cao. What's the use of me keeping you?" He was immediately ready to let the sword and ax hand push him away. Go out and behead him.
Liu Bei really didn't know that his second brother Guan Yu had defected to Cao Cao, and now it was a matter of losing his head. Naturally, he was very panicked. However, in his panic, he thought of a good way, and immediately calmly admonished: "Ming Gong, you I have also seen that I have done a lot of things here. I really think about Yuan Jun. Ming Gong cannot just hear some rumors and ignore the previous things when he is not sure. I have been with Xuzhou and my brothers since After the separation, the second brother Guan Yu also disappeared. It is not clear whether he is still alive in the world. There are too many people with the same appearance in the world. How can you think he is Guan Yu just because he looks like my second brother? I hope it will be clear. I must find out clearly and don’t accuse a good person unjustly!”
Yuan Shao was originally a man with no independent opinions. After hearing Liu Bei's sensational words and seeing the tears about to fall from Liu Bei's eyes, he felt that he had made a mistake, so he blamed Ju Shou and said: "You have no evidence to prove that it is Guan Yu, so don't mess around." Say, I almost believed you and killed good people!"
So Liu Bei was invited to sit down, and the two began to discuss how to avenge Yan Liang.
Suddenly, someone from the tent came out and said, "Yan Liang and I are like brothers. Now that we are killed by Cao Cao's thieves, how can I not take revenge?"
Liu Bei observed the man's appearance and felt that it was also strange and unusual. He was eight feet tall and had a face like a Xie Zhi. After asking, he learned that it was General Wen Chou from Hebei who was as famous as Yan Liang.
Yuan Shao was very happy and said: "Now that Yan Liang has been killed, I don't think anyone else can avenge him. I will send you a hundred thousand soldiers. You can cross the Yellow River now and kill the Cao thief for me." "
After hearing this, Jushou quickly stopped him and said: "No, our troops have just been defeated and their morale is low. We should stay in Yanjin and divide our forces to cross Guandu. This is the best policy. If we act rashly or if there are new changes, there will be no way out. There will be no room for survival for everyone.”
Yuan Shao was very angry after hearing this and said: "You are slowing down our military morale. According to your idea, it will definitely hinder important things! Haven't you heard that soldiers are valuable and quick?"
Jushou had no choice but to walk out of the battalion commander and sighed: "The leader is ambitious and arrogant about his courage, while his subordinates only know how to seek success and gain. The Yellow River flows eastward. I don't know where my destiny is. I have no choice but to cross the river!"
After this incident, Jushou was basically in despair. Whenever he encountered something, he started to shirk it, saying that his health was not good.
