Mention Yan Liang, presumably many people's first impression is Guan Yu cutting Yan Liang. In the hearts of many people, Yan Liang is at best a named miscellaneous soldier. In fact, this is not the case, how strong Yan Liang's true strength is, it can be said that if the Five Tiger General fights with him alone, he will not be his opponent, perhaps only such a person can defeat him during the Three Kingdoms period. It is a fact that Yan Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu, but do you know what Happened to Yan Liang before Guan Yu and Yan Liang fought?

Trace the battle, which took place between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. The Battle of Guandu was a battle of a group of people, not a one-man battle, Yan Liang's prestige had long been known to the world, Xu Huang was a general under Cao Cao, but he could not walk twenty rounds under Yan Liang. So much so that during the Battle of Guandu, Yan Liang called the battle and no one dared to respond. What level of martial artist is Xu Huang? It can be said that he and the Xiahou brothers are a level, Xiahou Huan has lasted dozens of rounds under Lü Bu, but in the end he was defeated, and in the single confrontation with Guan Yu, Xiahou Huan and Guan Yu fought a draw.
Guan Yu's strength among the Five Tiger Generals was also considered to be the top, and even if Xu Huang did not have the superb martial arts of Xiahou Huan, he would not be worse. And when Yan Liang called war, the military generals Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xiahou Huan, and Xiahou Yuan who were traveling with Xu Huang did not dare to fight, this is not to say that these military generals are incompetent, but these military generals are not sure to defeat Yan Liang, if they really fight, what face will they have to see Cao Cao when they lose. The reason why Guan Yu was able to kill Yan Liang was twofold, the first point was that Yan Liang had already killed on the battlefield, and his physical strength could be said to have consumed a lot, and even overdrafted.
The second point, although Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, in fact, there was also the help of Zhang Liao, Who was responsible for covering Guan Yu's charge of the enemy position, which made Guan Yu close to Yan Liang without too much loss, and naturally kill Yan Liang with a strong victory over the weak. And if it is really a single fight, guan yu and Yan Liang are strong and who is weak, it is not certain, and if it is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, which martial general can really suppress Yan Liang, it must be Lü Bu and Lü Fengxian.
How strong Lü Bu's strength is needless to say, Liu Guanzhang's three people joined forces but barely fought a draw with him, in addition to the plot of the plot, Lü Bu almost lost in the single head, it can be said that the God of War in the Three Kingdoms period deserved to belong to Lü Bu, and only Lü Bu could easily defeat a general like Yan Liang.
