In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, the first fierce general under Yuan Shao and the "famous general of Hebei", in a million troops, which became an important evidence of Guan Erye's explosive force, so many people thought that Yan Liang was in vain, was this really the case? Is Yan Liang really weak enough to be killed by Guan Yu's move?
Let's first analyze and analyze, and review the process of Guan Yu cutting off Yan Liang, we will find that in fact, this station does not reflect Yan Liang's force value at all. First of all, the mentality of the two was different, at that time, Yan Liang led an army of 100,000 people to continuously behead Wei Xu and Song Xian, who were previously Lü Bu's eight generals, surrounded liu yan on the white horse, and successively won successive battles, And Cao Cao's generals Li Ran, and the two sides temporarily truced. Along the way, coupled with the previous achievements, Yan Liang must have a feeling of pride and complacency, and naturally there are also slack emotions and light enemy emotions. On the other hand, Guan Yu was earnest in his efforts, on the one hand, he wanted to repay Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he was anxious to meet with his eldest brother Liu Bei, so he held his breath from the beginning and was murderous.
There is also a gap in the hardware equipment between the two, and one of the most important conditions is that Guan Yu has a rare thousand-mile horse - red rabbit horse at this time. It was precisely because of the Red Rabbit Horse that Guan Yu was able to rush to Yan Liang unexpectedly at an extremely fast speed, take advantage of his lack of preparation, and hack him to death with a knife.
It is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that before Yan Liang's expedition, Liu Bei, who was in Yuan Shao's army at the time, specifically mentioned his second brother Guan Yu to Yan Liang, described Guan Yu's appearance, and emphasized that Yan Liang should not hurt Guan Yu, but should bring Guan Yu back. Because of Liu Bei's words, it is estimated that when Yan Liang saw Guan Yu rushing down, he must have thought in his heart that Guan Yu had come to surrender and was not prepared for battle. Therefore, "only because of Xuande's pro-mortem, the hero died." This sentence was put into the hymns of other ancient texts besides Mao Ben, and in classical opera, there are also plots of Liu Bei and Yan Liang's conversation. Therefore, Yan Liang's killing also had subjective reasons for not being prepared for battle.
There are also temples of Yan Liang on both sides of the Yellow River, and within 15 kilometers of its temples, there is no temple about yu and no related operas can be performed. It is said that because a Zhixian did not abide by such a taboo, he had to perform Guan Yu's play of cutting off Yan Liang at the temple fair of Yan Liang Temple, and as a result, shortly after the performance on the same day, the wind was fierce and the rain poured down, destroying the stage. The existence of such a legend also shows that there are many people in the folk who believe that Yan Liang was carelessly beheaded, and also believe that his killing was some elements of resignation.
Since this battle cannot reflect Yan Liang's force value, we will analyze Yan Liang's force value from other battle examples. First of all, Yan Liang was able to easily kill Lü Bu's eight generals Wei Xu and Song Xian, and defeated Xu Huang, the five sons of Liang, in 20 rounds, to deter Cao Cao's generals, indicating that his strength was still very strong.
If you compare Xu Chu's 50 rounds of undefeated Xu Huang, and Xu Chu can fight against Ma Chao, Zhang Fei and others of the Five Tiger Generals, then Yan Liang's force value may not be under Zhang Fei, nor is it guan Yu's mouth". Yan Liang and Guan Yu's strength value can normally be at least 200 rounds or so, but unfortunately, Yan Liang has become a laughingstock of history because he is not ready to be beheaded by Guan Yu for a while, and Yan Liang cannot become a folk hero like Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, etc., or even as good as later Pound De and others.
All in all, Yan Liang's strength value was definitely not as good as Guan Yu's, but it was definitely not a weak chicken that Guan Yu could kill in one go, and Guan Yu was obviously victorious. History is thus composed of accident and inevitability, and it is really sad and lamentable that an accidental battle has made Guan Yu successful, but it has completely buried Yan Liang, who also has the courage of ten thousand men. Therefore, at all times, people should remain modest and cautious, not arrogant and defeated, and try to avoid accidental events such as "black swans" and "gray rhinos" on themselves.
