Chapter 93: Yan Liang is mighty
Yan Liang deserved to be the first general under Yuan Shao, and after he led his troops to Guandu, he directly attacked the Cao army's camp without stopping, and caught the Cao army by surprise.
Cao Jun, Lu Ping, and Hu Chao fought hard to resist, but they were beheaded by Yan Liang's knife!
Cao's army suffered thousands of casualties before forcing Yan Liang out of the camp.
Then, Yan Liang blocked the door of Cao Jun's camp and scolded and challenged, despising Cao Jun's attitude.
Furious! Very rampant!
Cao Jun's small defeat, coupled with Yan Liang's rampant blocking of the camp gate and scolding and challenge, Cao Jun's morale was inevitably affected, and the only solution was to behead Yan Liang, at least to defeat Yan Liang.
Cao Cao thought that when he defeated Lu Bu last year, he took refuge in his two old generals Song Xian and Wei Xu.
The two of them and Zhang Liao, who followed Lu Bu to serve Liu Yu, were both one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu at the beginning, Zhang Liao and Xiahoudun fought for hundreds of rounds without winning or losing, he had underestimated Zhang Liao's strength, thinking that he might also underestimate the strength of Song Xian and Wei Xu.
"Song Xian, you go to war!" Cao Cao ordered Song Xian to fight first.
"Yes, Prime Minister." Song Xian received the order, galloped out of the camp, and fought with Yan Liang.
Song Xian was extremely excited about Cao Cao's personal order to fight, and he had been serving Cao Cao for a long time, but because he was a general or betrayed the former lord Lu Bu and surrendered to the past, he has never been reused.
This time, Cao Cao suddenly remembered him, and personally ordered him to fight, as long as he can kill Yan Liang, it can be expected that Cao Cao will pay attention to it in the future.
Song Xian's idea was very good, but unfortunately he didn't have the courage to match, and after only three rounds of fighting with Yan Liang, he was slashed by Yan Liang.
Wei Xu didn't wait for Cao Cao's order, so he took the initiative to ask Zhan Dao: "Yan Liang dares to kill my companion, and I want to take revenge!" ”
Cao Cao nodded.
Wei Xu got on the horse with a spear, killed out of the camp, and took Yan Liang directly.
Wei Xu's idea is also very simple, Song Xian is not Yan Liang's opponent, and he also knows that he is by no means Yan Liang's opponent, but who said that he must defeat Yan Liang, or even kill Yan Liang, he just wants to fight with Yan Liang for seven or eight rounds, and show his bravery in front of Cao Cao, and it will be worth it for him to flee back to the camp in defeat.
However, Wei Xu was even worse than Song Xian.
The two horses intersected, Yan Liang only stabbed his head, and directly hit Wei Xu, chopping Wei Xu to death under the horse!
Cao Cao was taken aback, and couldn't help but praise: "This is really the fierce general of the world!" ”
After Cao Cao saw Zhang Liao, he subconsciously thought that Lu Bu's original eight strong generals should not be too bad, but Song Xian only lasted three rounds, and Wei Xu was killed by Yan Liang in one round, which shows that Yan Liang is brave and martial.
However, he was not sure about the bravery of Song Xian and Wei Xu, which could not completely test how strong Yan Liang's bravery was.
Then he said to Yu Ban, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu and other generals around him: "Who dares to fight Yan Liang today." ”
Qualified generals, no one is greedy for life and afraid of death, as soon as Cao Cao spoke, more than ten generals such as Ban, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, Le Jin, and Xiahou Dun all asked for battle.
"Xiahou Yuan, you go." Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan.
"Yes, Prime Minister." Xiahou Yuan responded to the battle.
"Yan Liang is crazy, Xiahou Yuan is here!" Xiahou Yuan roared angrily and took Yan Liang directly.
Yan Liang smiled contemptuously, Cao Cao was finally willing to send the real general out of the horse, and waited for him to behead Cao Cao's general.
Xiahou Yuan arrived, Yan Liang swung his knife and slashed, and fought fiercely with Xiahou Yuan.
The two went back and forth, and soon fought for twenty rounds.
Xiahou Yuan's courage is not weak, he is stronger than Zhang Liao and Pang De, but unfortunately after only more than 60 rounds of battle with Yan Liang, Xiahou Yuan was defeated and fled back to the camp.
"Yan Liang is so powerful!" At this time, not only Cao Cao was taken aback, but the other generals of Cao Ying, Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Le Jin were also shocked.
If Song Xian and Wei Xu were beheaded, they only regarded Song Xian and Wei Xu as too straw bags and could not measure Yan Liang's bravery, but Xiahou Yuan was recognized as the top three generals in Cao's army, but he could only fight with Yan Liang for more than 60 rounds, which shows Yan Liang's bravery.
"Prime Minister, Xu Chu please fight!" Xu Chu stood up, as the strongest brave general under Cao Cao, and only when Xu Chu came out could he defeat Yan Liang.
However, Cao Cao shook his head, Xiahou Yuan has found out Yan Liang's courage in the battle, although Xu Chu is braver than Xiahou Yuan, he may not be able to defeat Yan Liang, if he is defeated by Yan Liang, the impact will be great, and it will be okay if he doesn't fight.
This is good, Cao Cao was beheaded four generals before and after, Xiahou Yuan was also defeated, no one could balance Yan Liang, and Yan Liang was allowed to keep scolding in front of the camp gate, which greatly affected the morale of Cao's army.
Cao Cao was quite worried, Yan Liang only brought Yuan Shao's 100,000 elite soldiers, I heard that Yuan Shao had 700,000 troops, and he went all out to attack, and he could have 500,000 troops to go south, if he couldn't even help the 100,000 troops led by Yan Liang, Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of main forces were killed, how could he be the enemy?
Did he have to be defeated in the hands of Yuan Shao and destroyed by Yuan Shao?
Cao Cao had a chill down his spine, and he summoned Cheng Yu, Xun You and others to come to discuss countermeasures.
"I heard that there are four court pillars under Yuan Shao's command, in addition to Yan Liang, there are also Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, a single Yan Liang has such a might, if the four court pillars gather, plus Yuan Shao has an army of 700,000, what can I do?" Cao Cao asked.
Cheng Yu and Xun Yu didn't expect Yan Liang to be so powerful, they had underestimated Yuan Shao's strength before.
Xun You said: "Although Yuan Shaobing is strong, but his advisers are intrigued, Yuan Shao is indecisive, he can stick to the attrition, wait for the opportunity, and seek to win Yuan Shao." ”
It sounds good to say, to put it bluntly, it is to avoid fighting, and slowly consume with Yuan Shao, hoping to win Yuan Shao in the end.
Cao Cao sighed, it seemed that it could only be so. However, Cao Cao was worried in his heart, this just started the war and avoided the war, which would affect morale too much, and this is a declining trend, and Yuan Shao is a mighty situation, the decline is likely to be exhausted, and the prestige is likely to be more powerful, one after another, and the possibility of his final fiasco will become greater and greater.
At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly said: "The four states of Hebei are the hometowns of the four Zhao, Wei, Qi and Yan of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and Yuan Shao gathers the power of the four states, and his strength is unmatched today, and he is the first prince in the world. ”
Cao Cao's spirits were lifted, yes, why didn't he unite with Liu Yu and make Liu Yu send troops to attack Yuan Shao, and he would definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao.
It's just that Cao Cao suddenly frowned again, and he said worriedly: "Liu Yu may not join forces with me to help me fight against Yuan Shao." ”
Cheng Yu said: "Don't worry, don't worry, you need to know that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, if Yuan Shao destroys the lord, the next step must be to attack Guanzhong, destroy him Liu Yu, and then go south to sweep Liu Biao, Sun Ce, etc., unify the world, the lord explained to the Marquis of Qin, just say that Yuan Shao's army of 700,000, if the lord is destroyed, swallow the boundary of the three states of the lord, the soldiers will break one million, although the Marquis of Qin has Tongguan moat, he cannot resist Yuan Shao's million army. ”
"Zhongde's words made me suddenly brighter, I will write to Liu Yu in Guanzhong!" Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent a letter to Guanzhong.
