Chapter 231 Guan Gong still comes to fight Yan Liang
As the saying goes, "There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts." Any brave man always has a few ruthless spirits in his heart, but some people are accustomed to bullying the weak, while others can tolerate it. Others give him the evaluation of Yan Liang as a person: benign and narrow-minded, even if he is brave, he cannot be solemn. In other words, Yan Liang has a anxious temper and is not very open-minded.
Zhao Xing praised Guan Yu in front of everyone: "There is no match for the opponent who can beat the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, and he has never met yet!" Yan Liang was naturally very dissatisfied with him when he heard this. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were also a fierce man who was rare in the Jizhou territory. He had never fought with Guan Yu before, and it is understandable that he did not agree with Zhao Xing's preconceived evaluation.
Yan Liang and Guan Yu were brought to the school ground when the three armies swore to the scene, and the two began to prepare. These preparations included waiting for the personal soldiers to bring their respective mounts, wearing armor, wiping weapons, and thinking about ways to fight the enemy, etc. This kind of competition is unlike the encounter between the generals when the two armies encountered each other, and all kinds of preparations required enough effort. After all, this is a contest representing the competition between the two forces.
According to the records of the two versions of "The Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Yan Liang died at Guan Yu. However, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Yan Liang died unjustly, and his ability to be completely thrived, so he had no time to perform. The book records that when Guan Yu fought against Yan Liang, he carried the Green Dragon Sword, took off his helmet and placed it on the saddle. When he came to Yan Liang's formation, the Hebei army did not fight with him at all. Instead, it split into waves and split into two sides to release a road, allowing Guan Yu to rush to the central position where Yan Liang stopped. At that time, Yan Liang was under the cap, and suddenly saw Guan Gong coming, he wanted to ask questions. As a result, Guan Yu raised his sword and slashed Yan Liang under the horse with one knife.
Yan Liang died unjustly! Among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, the number one general under Yuan Shao's command, Yan Liang, has always been the most controversial topic, and is usually ranked sixth by readers. This is also influenced by the traditional folk saying "one, two, two, three, and two, and three, and four, five, and six, and Zhang Fei". In fact, Yan Liang will not easily defeat Guan Yu in battle.
According to records: under normal confrontation, Yan Liang could defeat Xu Huang within twenty rounds. Compared with Xu Chu Zeng in fifty rounds, Yan Liang's force should be above Xu Chu. What is the upper limit of Yan Liang's force? Before Hulao Pass, when Hua Xiong defeated all the princes, the leader of the Allied Army Yuan Shao once said, "It's a pity that my general Yan Liang, Wen Chou urged his army to return. If you get one person here, how can you let Hua Xiong show his power!" Later, when Lu Bu defeated all the princes, Yuan Shao did not mention the general Yan Liang and Wen Chou again. Therefore, it can be speculated that Yan Liang's force should not be above Lu Bu. Later, Cao Cao also sighed: "If you get the clouds, it looks like Yan Liang, Wen Chou will be reborn." From this, it can be seen that Yan Liang's force can be ranked alongside Guan Yu, not outside the six.
The two people who were ready to ride their own horses and waited for Lu Zhi, who was judging the outcome, to attack the other side with an order. During the preparations of Guan Yu and Yan Liang, a group of civil and military officials and generals under Yuan Shao's tent, and a group of generals under Zhao Xing, came to cheer for their generals after hearing the rumors. Chunyu Qiong, Guo Yuan, Jiao Chu, Lu Weihuang, Ju Su, Xun Chen and Shen Pei came to Zhao Xing's side; Xu Huang, Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, Xue Lan, Chen Gong, Wang Kai, and Xu Si. But in terms of number of people, the Bingzhou Legion still had the upper hand. In order to avoid suspicion, several generals who threw themselves from the Yellow Turban Army hid in their respective tents.
"The competition begins!" Lu Zhi shouted loudly.
When Lu Zhi finished speaking, Yan Liang, who had already been impatient, rushed towards Guan Yu with a machete with a square head straight on his back. Before he came on the field, Yuan Shao hinted to him: "If you can take the opportunity to get rid of this evil thief in red face, it will be like breaking the right arm of Zhao's family!" So Yan Liang gathered strong murderous aura as soon as he came up and launched an attack first.
Before he went on stage, Guan Yu was also hinted by Zhao Xing, but what Zhao Xing said was a world of difference from Yuan Shao. Zhao Xing said: "Yan Liang, the courage of a man is so brave, so why should he be captured in one battle? Now Bingzhou is at the time of employment. If the eldest brother can beat Yan Liang and run away with his head and head, he will be a tiger in the future. In the future, he will be your side general!" Zhao Xing's suggestion made Guan Yu feel both passionate and very moved when he heard it. Guan Yu thought to himself: If he can accept a man with no brains like Yan Liang as a side general, it would be a good choice.
While speaking, Yan Liang rode a black Liaodong horse to Guan Yu. He heard the sound of a big knife slashing through the sky. Yan Liang's machete had already chopped towards Guan Yu's face. Guan Yu had already adjusted his breath when Yan Liang urged the horse to come and comforted a high-quality macaque horse produced in the Xianbei people in Mobei. Before Yan Liang could raise the knife, Guan Yu's right hand had already drawn a dazzling green arc on his side, and he stood on the way Yan Liang's big knife was slashed.
Inevitably, the two big swords "clang" sounded crisply and knocked together fiercely. The sparks splashed out from the blade made everyone who watched the field feel the shock of the impact of the power.
Yan Liang failed to succeed with a slash, and immediately passed by Guan Yu. The two of them exchanged positions in an instant. After turning their horse's head, Yan Liang launched the attack first and still rushed towards Guan Yu very fiercely. This time, Yan Liang's sword path changed direction and no longer headed towards Guan Yu's face. Instead, he stretched out his right arm, let the long sword and his arms form a straight line, and swung it round and swept it towards Guan Yu's chest.
As a top master of using swords, Guan Yu naturally saw the danger of Yan Liang's sweep, so he immediately turned his body and fell back, pressing his back tightly against the horse's back, just passing Yan Liang's second sword. The two of them ran forward and exchanged positions again.
In this way, Yan Liang kept taking the offensive and slashed ten consecutively, all of which were blocked by Guan Yu using various methods or avoided them. Seeing that Yan Liang had basically used the moves that Yan Liang could use, Guan Yu had an estimate of Yan Liang's combat power. Before Yan Liang could urge him to move forward again, this time Guan Yu activated his mount to run faster than Yan Liang.
"Child Yan Liang, I'll take my sword too!" Guan Yu shouted loudly, and quickly moved towards Yan Liang like a ball of red clouds. Guan Yu used the move that Yan Liang had just made the first move head-on, but the momentum and force seemed to be more stern than Yan Liang.
After Yan Liang fought ten moves, he was shocked and knew that he had met a true top master. What Zhao Xing said was not a bluff. Seeing Guan Yu's heavy force slashing hard, he quickly supported the hilt of the knife with both hands, raised it high above the top, and protected him on his head.
Guan Yu's big sword hit Yan Liang's knife hilt hard, leaving a mark on Yan Liang's hilt casting. The two of them passed by the wrong horse. When they turned around, Guan Yu took the lead and slashed towards Yan Liang, but they still used the same move just now. As a result, Yan Liang pushed back, and the gap was only slashed above Yan Liang's gun handle, and the gap deepened a little further.
Guan Yu slashed Yan Liang with one knife after another, and there was no other move. He only felt relieved that the people of Jizhou who were worried about it. They felt that once Guan Yu was out of strength, Yan Liang would turn into defense to attack and Guan Yu would be defeated.
Everyone in Bingzhou knew that Guan Yu had excellent martial arts skills and superb sword skills, but they didn't understand why Guan Yu repeatedly used one move during the duel today, and only a few generals with increasingly advanced martial arts saw the signs.
When Guan Yu slashed Yan Liang's seventh sword, with a crisp "click", Yan Liang's knife hilt suddenly broke into two pieces. After Guan Yu's big sword split the handle of Yan Liang without any suspense, it continued to fall towards Yan Liang's face...
