Chapter 361: Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang

The controversy in Yuan Shao's camp on how to take Hanoi broke out again, and Fu Zhi, Tian Feng and others suggested that Yuan Shao slowly figure it out, and Guo Tu suggested that Feng divide his troops to quickly seize the outer cities of Huai County, so that a lot of grain and grass could actually be raised, because the autumn harvest had just ended, and many places in Hanoi had concentrated tuntian. Occupy some cities, even if it is quiet to fight, and if it is a stalemate, there is no need to consume Jizhou's grain and grass.

Although the two sides could not argue, and Yuan Shao did not make a decision for a while, he still followed everyone's advice and sent Yan Liang and 3,000 infantry to Neihuang as soon as possible. At the same time, Chun Yuqiong and Zhang He also led troops into the border of Wei County to deter Hanoi.

As soon as Yan Liang entered Neihuang, someone came to report that a large number of enemy ships were docking on the banks of the Yellow River, and it seemed that they were preparing to transport soldiers, horses, and baggage to Hebei.

Yan Liang was entangled when he heard this, the enemy was blatantly crossing the river. Yuan Shao gave him the task of garrisoning Neihuang, but watching the enemy land from Neihuang, if it was not blocked, this enemy reinforcement would definitely flank Zhang He. It may even attack Neihuang directly.

So Yan ???????????????? Liang sent scouts to the Yellow River to investigate, while Pegasus reported to Yuan Shao and Zhang He. The scouts who went to the Yellow River to inquire soon came back and reported that there were not many soldiers who had landed, but there were a large number of baggage, and Yan Liang's first thought was that the enemy was laying a trap for him, and there must be a large number of infantry on the Yellow River.

But as the scouts kept coming back to report, Yan Liang couldn't sit still, because a large number of people and small wheelbarrows appeared by the Yellow River, which was clearly a baggage team. And the boats going to and from the Yellow River are not from the Ganning Navy, just some small boats! Could it be that the enemy's generals were in the wrong place, and these baggage were intended to be sent to Hanoi?

These stumped Yan Liang, in the face of the credit sent to the door, did he attack or sit back and watch? In the end, Yan Liang still made a difficult choice, leaving 1,000 people in the hands of Neihuang, and he hurried towards the Yellow River with 2,000 infantry. The county seat of Neihuang is not far from the Yellow River, Yan Liang marched all the way, thinking of settling the battle before dark, and then escorted Mingu to carry the grain and grass to Neihuang City, no matter what kind of plan Wei Xuan had, it didn't matter.

Then when they were still four or five miles away from the Yellow River, there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the northeast, this voice Yan Liang was very familiar, very familiar, the last time he was dozens of miles to the west, his five thousand pioneers were completely annihilated by Zhang Liao and his people, and he was also captured by Yuan Shao who ransomed from Wei Xuan with hundreds of thousands of grains.

Hearing the familiar sound of horses' hooves, Yan Liang knew that he was still in a plan, the enemy not only transported baggage during the day, it was estimated that the cavalry had already crossed the river last night, but did not occupy Neihuang, but ambushed in the territory.

Yan Liang did not hesitate at all, and immediately led his two thousand soldiers to rush towards Neihuang City desperately, he didn't think that his two thousand infantry could do anything in the face of the enemy's large number of cavalry.

However, in such a flat place by the Yellow River, how could the infantry outrun the cavalry, not to mention that Yan Liang had also consumed a lot of physical strength in order to march all the way in order to quickly fight and make a quick decision!

It was indeed an old acquaintance who came, and a big banner was waving in the wind, followed by a heavy cavalry under black pressure.

The heavy cavalry caught up with the infantry without any suspense, then swept through the scattered formations of infantry before beginning to divide the encirclement, while some pursued the scattered enemy.

Yan Liang chose to flee when he saw the enemy's banner, and he could no longer be a prisoner. He rode his horse with a dozen of his own soldiers to the northwest instead of due north. He knew that it was impossible to go to Neihuang, and hoped to be able to escape to Zhang He's camp before the enemy caught up.

Seeing that Ma Ting's voice was getting quieter and quieter, Yan Liang was very glad that he was decisive, and finally escaped after using nearly 2,000 infantry to cut off for himself. Then just when he wanted to stop and take a breath, a cavalry rushed out, there were not many people, about a thousand people, but they were still all heavy cavalry, not to mention that Yan Liang was only with a dozen cavalry, even if he had two thousand infantry by his side, he couldn't stop the previous heavy cavalry.

The only fortunately opposite flag is Guan, not Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei, Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief, since he is not the enemy's main general, then fight, if he can capture or kill the enemy's main general, he can still take advantage of the enemy's panic to escape.

Yan Liang made up his mind???????????????? After that, he gave an order to his soldiers on the left and right, so that they could follow him, and then began to speed up against the heavy cavalry on the opposite side.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly narrowing, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps, Yan Liang held the big sword in both hands, ready to give the enemy a critical blow!

The wind quickly skimmed over his face, Yan Liang began to get excited, and couldn't help but clamp the horse's belly with his legs, and the war horse under his crotch also understood the master's intentions and rushed out of the group of pro-soldiers like an arrow from Lixuan, and a big man with a nine-foot-long green robe on the opposite side was gradually speeding up with a knife in one hand.

Twenty steps, ten steps, five steps, the two of them raised their knives almost at the same time, and then they saw a flash of cold light, when there was a sound of metal rubbing, the two horses staggered, the green-robed Guan Yu was still holding the knife in one hand, and a drop of blood on the Qinglong Yanyue knife dripped on the ground, and not far behind him, Yan Liang was split in two and fell to the ground. Then they were trampled by the heavy cavalry that followed......

Guan Yu's war horse continued to rush forward, Yan Liang's personal soldiers were all dumbfounded, and their main general, Yan Liang, a famous general in Hebei, was cut off his horse by the enemy with one move! They thought that they might not be able to get out if they were stopped by so many heavy cavalry, but they definitely didn't expect such a start. Without waiting for them to react, Guan Yu slashed several people in a row, and then the heavy cavalry that followed directly cleaned up the dozen or so personal soldiers.

Guan Yu then asked the team to stop and disperse, and returned to the place where he had just fought, and found that he was lucky that Yan Liang's head fell under the belly of the horse and was still recognized by his war horse protector, and the body was no longer in shape. Guan Yu finally smiled happily, how many years, he was pulled farther and farther away by Zhang Fei, this time Zhang Liao sent him here to ambush just in case, but he didn't expect that he was lucky, and he really met Yan Liang. It's a pity that this guy is vulnerable, otherwise he might be able to exchange for hundreds of thousands of stones of food if he is captured alive.

Guan Yu packed up Yan Liang and carried the people to continue to walk south, there were Jizhou soldiers who fled one after another on the road, seeing that a large number of cavalry also came to the north, most of the exhausted soldiers sat directly on the ground and did not run, they couldn't run the cavalry, but they just tried their luck to scatter, as a result, people had already blocked the way back to Neihuang, what else to run, I knew that I should run south, and I jumped directly into the Yellow River and maybe I could escape.

Soon Guan He and Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei and others converged, and when he saw the human head Zhang Fei carrying in Guan Yu's hand, he smiled, he was very familiar with this Yan Liang, he knocked this guy unconscious last time, this time he had no good luck, and he was killed directly.

Zhang Liao also smiled and nodded, but soon he gave the order to assemble the team, because the scouts had already come to report that Zhang He's 20,000 men were on the border of Wei County, a few dozen miles west of Neihuang, ready to enter Hanoi at any time.

Although Wei County and Hebei are both the territory of the Han Dynasty, after all, Hanoi is the territory controlled by their own lord, and according to Wei Xuan's principle, if war is unavoidable, it must take place in the territory of the other side as much as possible. This is also the reason why he was sent to Hebei when the victory and defeat were not yet determined on the battlefield of Chenliu.

On the border of Wei County and Hanoi, although Yuan Shao has not yet made the final decision on attacking Hanoi, whether to wait for the opportunity to wait for the opportunity to attack Hanoi, or to drive straight into Huanglong, Zhang He has arrived here a day ago to complete the deployment and is constantly strengthening the camp, as a former general under Han Fu, Zhang He has always been cautious over the years???????????????? Cautious, although Zhang He did not shine brightly in the face of the Black Mountain Army and Gong Sanzan, he never made any mistakes.

After Yan Liang stationed in Neihuang, he also sent someone to inform Zhang He as soon as possible, and after learning that his rear was safe, Zhang He began to send scouts into Hanoi to reconnoitre. Regardless of the time of day, knowing as much as possible about the battlefield and opponent is the most important preparation for a general.

However, today's scouts had not yet returned, and Yan Liang's messenger had arrived, bringing confusing news to Zhang He, that near the Yellow River in Neihuang, Wei Xuanjun was transporting a large number of people and baggage to cross the river in small boats.

This is not normal, so Yan Liang is going to check it out and remind Zhang He at the same time. Zhang He felt that Yan Liang did the right thing, and he deserved to be a famous general in Hebei. To be cautious, Zhang He also sent scouts to the Yellow River at the same time. Zhang He estimated that the opposite side wanted to transport the baggage to Hanoi, but as a result, the exploration was wrong or the general was greedy for convenience, so he directly arranged to cross the river on the other side of Neihuang.

Scouts searching along the Yellow River kept coming back with news that there seemed to be no other ferry crossing along the Yellow River in the direction of Hanoi with boats coming and going from the south bank of the Yellow River, let alone a large army or civilian population. Is it just a temptation by the enemy, or is it just to make a fool of himself and let himself send troops to reinforce Neihuang?

It seems to be an ordinary river crossing, and it is very likely that the enemy's baggage team was the one who brought grain and grass to Hanoi. Just when Zhang He thought that Yan Liang might have been too cautious, or that the baggage team that was about to cross the river had been scared away, a scout hurriedly rushed into the military tent: "General, a large force of enemy cavalry was found ten miles to the east, and there were too many enemy scouts, just look at a rough idea, the enemy's main general is surnamed Zhang!" ”

Zhang He's pop up from the ground at once, in the east is the direction of Neihuang, where to find a large number of cavalry, then the previous baggage team may also be true, and Yan Liang has a total of only 3,000 people in Neihuang, even if they are all brought out, they are not the opponent of a large number of cavalry. Could it be that Neihuang is going to be attacked by the enemy again?

There is another reason why Zhang He is so nervous, that is, the enemy's main general is surnamed Zhang, and it is either Zhang Liao or Zhang Fei who can serve as the main general in the cavalry, and it may even be that the two of them came together.
