Guandu, Yuan Shao's camp. Yuan Shao did not have the vigor when he first sent out the army, he thought that he could crush the Cao army with an overwhelming force, but he did not expect that not only did he not capture the size of the Central Plains, but the vanguard suffered continuous setbacks. It turned out that Yan Liang, the chief general under Yuan Shao, was ordered to attack the military stronghold of Baima, and just when Baima was in danger, Cao Cao personally led a large army to arrive. Yan Liang can also be regarded as a general, and he did not panic when he encountered the main force of Cao Jun, stabilized his position, and did not let Cao Cao take advantage of much. Yan Liang's martial arts are strong, after a few days of fighting, Cao Jun's generals took turns to fight, and did not drag Yan Liang down, but Yan Liang became more and more courageous, even injured Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Cao Cao was depressed, even a Yan Liang could not deal with it, Yuan Shao's army arrived, I am afraid that morale will be low, and the fear will be even worse, and he will be defeated without a fight.
At this critical moment, Guo Jia offered a plan: "Why don't Ming Gong use Guan Yu to fight with Yan Liang?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up suddenly, thinking about the pros and cons, and said: "Guan Yu is a little early to play now, our original plan was to use Guan Yu to deal with Yuan Shao, and at that time Liu Bei had no use value, so by the way, he borrowed a knife to kill people and get rid of Liu Bei!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Ming Gong is different from the past at this time, Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi is a variable, now if you don't hit Yuan Shao's morale first, once Liu Bei can't see hope and turns the gun, maybe Guan Yu won't be able to use it for me!" ”
Cao Cao agreed with Guo Jia's opinion, ordered someone to invite Guan Yu to come, and deliberately complained: "Yun Chang, General Yan Liangyong of the Yuan Army crowned the three armies, and our army was defeated in a row. Guan Yu said proudly: "I look at Yan Liang like a person who kills chickens and dogs, and I am willing to dedicate it to the prime minister, and I only hope that the prime minister can promise me." Cao Cao knew that Guan Yu would definitely bring up the matter of looking for Liu Bei again, and as long as he used Liu Bei's whereabouts as an excuse at that time, Guan Yu would be embarrassed to leave. Cao Cao was worthy of the heroes of the troubled times, and asked with a surprised face: "If Yun Chang can behead Yan Liang, I will agree to what he says." ”
I saw Guan Yu looking at Cao Cao and said earnestly: "After the matter is completed, I hope that the prime minister will send Diao Chan to me!" Cao Cao's heart ached, Diao Chan poured the country and the city, and people saw that they were pitiful, and he didn't have time to be pampered. Although Xun Yu proposed to sacrifice Diao Chan to Guan Yu at that time, Guan Yu must be able to be subdued. Cao Cao was reluctant, this time in order to cut Yan Liang, he was reluctant to cut the meat, and pretended to be bold and said: "If it is done, I will send Diao Chan to you." ”
Guan Yu got Cao Cao's promise, and immediately felt good, riding a red rabbit horse, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, seeing Yan Liang calling for battle in front of the army, without saying a word, he rushed towards Yan Liang directly. Yan Liang saw a red-faced general rushing over with a knife. Yan Liang remembered Yuan Xi's advice, no matter whether the person who came was Guan Yu or not, let's talk about a big battle first! Yan Liang will not sit still, Guan Yu is so unruly, he doesn't even say hello, he either looks down on himself or sneaks attack, the two big knives touched together, and suddenly there was a loud noise, the fire was shining, and a powerful force came, Guan Yu was also extremely uncomfortable, and the red rabbit horse also neighed, as if telling his master not to underestimate the enemy. Yan Liang was even more surprised, he was numb from Guan Yu's big knife, compared to the previous general of the Cao Army, Guan Yu was obviously much stronger.
After Guan Yu and Yan Liang made a move, although he didn't think that Yan Liang was his opponent, he also admitted that this was a very strong opponent, with the help of the red rabbit horse, he still steadily suppressed Yan Liang, Yan Liang was also miserable, the gap between his strength and Guan Yu was not large, but Guan Yu's red rabbit horse was too dominant, and he could only hold on, even if he retreated, he couldn't run Guan Yu, how much he hoped that someone could help him. Yan Liang knew that he was fierce and unlucky, and he also burst out of his potential, even if he died in battle, it would not make Guan Yu feel better, and the sword technique of losing both sides made Guan Yu unable to take Yan Liang for a while. At this thrilling moment, Cao Jun Mingjin withdrew his troops.
It turned out that Cao Cao saw Yan Liang running violently, and he didn't know that he was afraid that Guan Yu would lose, so he was reluctant to Diao Chan, and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Guan Yu had no choice but to return to the army, and said angrily: "I was about to use a drag-and-drop trick to kill Yan Liang, and the prime minister collected his troops at this moment, I don't know what it means?" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Yan Liang's bravery, at that time, he wanted to put his death and come back to life, and he was afraid of hurting the general, so he urgently withdrew his troops." Xun Yu saw that Guan Yu was annoyed, and stepped forward to offer a plan: "I have a plan, I can kill Yan Liang." Yuan Shao is about to arrive in Baima today, if our army secretly crosses the river and feints to attack Yuan Shao's army, Yan Liang has no plan, and he is afraid that Yuan Shao will blame him, so he will inevitably return to the army to support, and he can be killed by surprise. Cao Cao was overjoyed and ordered the army to secretly cross the river and wait for Yan Liang to chase after him.
Yan Liang saw that Cao Cao abandoned the white horse and led the army to cross the river, fearing that Yuan Shaozhong and Cao Cao would ambush him, so he crossed the river to pursue. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao suddenly came back to the horse pistol, and when Yan Liang was halfway across, the army raided, Yan Liang was shocked and hurriedly retreated. When Guan Yu saw Yan Liang's defeat, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he urged the red rabbit horse, and arrived in the blink of an eye and beheaded Yan Liang under the horse. The morale of the Cao army was suddenly greatly boosted, and many of the leaderless Yuan troops drowned in the water or surrendered and were killed, and the blood flowed like a river, which was unbearable. The defeated army who fled back told that Yan Liang was beheaded by a red-faced green-hat general, and it was rumored that Guan Yu was like this, Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Liu Bei. didn't think about it, but was deceived by Liu Bei's rhetoric, saying that it was not necessarily Guan Yu, and he was willing to go to the front line in person, if he would bring Guan Yu to work for Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was excited, if he got Guan Yu, he would be better than Yan Liang, so he ordered Wen Chou and Liu Bei to lead 100,000 troops.
Liu Bei said that he was unlucky, he was afraid that he would affect Wen Chou's battle, so he would supervise in the back, and if he met Guan Yu, he asked Wen Chou not to fight with him and wait for him to come. Although Wen Chou is a general in Hebei and is as famous as Yan Liang, his IQ is not high, and he feels that Liu Bei is reasonable, so he asked him to lead 30,000 troops and support him at any time. Wen Chou led the army to Baima, Cao Jun had already gone to the empty building, perhaps Cao Cao was in a hurry, there were scattered goods along the way, Wen Chou thought that Cao Jun saw the army coming, had retreated, so he ordered his soldiers to loot the property, and he opened the road in front. Wen Chou's attention was also on snatching property, but he didn't expect to suddenly kill an army, led by Xu Huang. Wen Chou took a bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow hit Xu Huang's mount, and Xu Huang fell to the ground. Wen Chou was brave and invincible, although there were few soldiers around him, he also wanted to step forward and end up with Xu Huang, and then withdraw the army. didn't think that Guan Yu would kill at this time, Wen Chou fought with him for three rounds, and he was cowardly and retreated decisively, but he forgot the advantages of Guan Yu's red rabbit horse, and let Guan Yu pick up the head in vain.
