In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Cao Cao and Yuan Shao engaged, and Yuan Shao sent the general Yan Liang to attack Baima, as a result, Yan Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu in the Wanma army. Yan Liang was a first-class fierce general under Yuan Shao, very brave, and Frustrated Zhi once advised Yuan Shao that Yan Liang had a narrow personality and could not lead the army alone, and Yuan Shao did not listen, which eventually led to Yan Liang being killed.
Just imagine, if Yuan Shao sent Wen Ugly and Yan Liang to send troops together, and the two generals joined forces, would Guan Yu still have a chance to kill Yan Liang? The result?
As we all know, Wen Ugly was similar to Yan Liang's strength, both were the first-class fierce generals under Yuan Shao, and the two bravely championed the three armies, which was recognized at that time, and was Yuan Shao's two pillars to support the façade.
If It is said that Yan Liang's personality is short-minded and cannot be left alone, if Wen Ugly goes with him, can he change the war situation at that time?
First look at yan Liang's killing, what is going on?
Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu, Chun Yuqiong, and Yan Liang to attack Liu Yan in Baima, and Yuan Shao himself led a large army to Liyang to determine the military position, at this time, Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao and Guan Yu to rescue Liu Yan. Cao Cao adopted the strategy of the strategist Xun You, attacked the west from the east, sent light troops to raid Baima, and took advantage of Yan Liang's lack of preparation to catch him by surprise.
When Yan Liang saw Cao Cao's elite soldiers raiding, he was shocked, rushed to battle, and was beheaded by Guan Yu.
The Chronicle of Emperor Wu of the Three Kingdoms records that Xun You said to gongyou: "Now that there are few soldiers, it is possible to divide their strength." Gong arrived in Yanjin, if the crossing troops were to the latter, Shao Bixi responded, and then the light army attacked the white horse, hiding its unpreparedness, yan liang could also be a bird. "Obey it. Shaowen Bingdu, that is, the division of troops to the west should be. Gong Nai led the army and traveled on a white horse, and before he reached more than ten miles, he was frightened and came to fight against the war. Make Zhang Liao and Guan Yu climb forward, break through, and cut liang. The White Horse Siege was lifted.
At that time, although Wen Ugly did not go, Yan Liang was not fighting alone, and Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong also went with Yan Liang. Where is the evidence?
The Chronicle of Emperor Wu of the Three Kingdoms records that in February, Shao sent Guo Tu, Chun Yuqiong, and Yan Liang to attack Liu Yanyu in Dong Commandery, and Shao led his troops to Liyang and crossed the river.
That is to say, Yan Liang was not a person, he had helpers, or he had the help of the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, however, in this case, he was still killed.
Guo Tu was Yuan Shao's strategist, the guy who later framed Zhang Guo to surrender to Cao Cao, even if Guo Tu could not lead the army to fight, but Chun Yu Qiong was a famous general, he was not as said in the speech, he liked to drink, was a drunkard, belonged to the wine bag rice bag, Chun Yu Qiong in the zhengshi records was one of the eight lieutenants in the West Garden, and Cao Cao was of the same level. However, Chun Yu Qiong's departure did not change the outcome of Yan Liang's killing.
Then, it is certain that even if Wen Liang and Yan Liang sent troops together at that time, they could not change the situation of Yan Liang's defeat, of course, with the help of Wen Liang, perhaps Yan Liang could escape with his life and not be killed by Guan Yu.
Why is it said that Yan Liang has a literary and ugly alliance, and he will also lose?
This is because, at this time, not only Yan Liang and Wen Ugly were proud and arrogant, but also full of confidence, including their boss Yuan Shao, who was also proud and determined to win, and could not listen to any opinion at all, and Yuan Shao did not listen to the opinion of frustrated teaching, which was proof.
Yuan Shao did not take Cao Cao seriously in his heart, he had long been arrogant and arrogant, just imagine, how can the people under Yuan Shao not be proud and arrogant? The whole army has such a mentality, how can it still win the battle? As the saying goes, the proud soldiers will be defeated, and the end is already doomed.
In fact, to put it nicely, Yan Liang has the help of Wen Ugly, maybe he will not die, but if he does not listen well, Wen Ugly and Yan Liang are also likely to be killed by Guan Yu together.
