Countless birds flew up in panic from the forest where they were roosting, screaming in confusion as they passed through the setting sun.
The strong wind whirling from the Yellow River swept through Baima City like a blade, tearing away the billowing smoke at the top of the city.
There are many swords and guns, a forest of military spirit, and ten thousand Hebei troops stand in formation.
The breathtaking military power forced the arrogant wind to calm down and stop in front of the huge military formation. It could only hold its breath and caress the battle flags.
The black battle flag rolled like a huge wave, and the big red flag was particularly eye-catching, with a big Chinese character "Yan" embroidered on the flag.
Under the banner, a young general with a tall build and a stern face was staring calmly at the west road.
He was wearing exquisite black armor, holding a large iron sword in his hand, and his half-open and half-closed eyes were shining with bright eyes.
He is the famous Hebei general Yan Liang.
A group of scouts came from Xijuechen, passed through the many sentries, and arrived in front of Yan Liang's horse.
"General, tens of thousands of Cao's troops are marching toward the White Horse. The vanguard is already twenty miles away."
After hearing the scout's information, Yan Liang nodded slightly and murmured: "It's just as I expected..."
When the generals on the left and right heard this information, their expressions changed.
However, there was no fear on their faces, but a look of disbelief.
"Cao's thieves' attack on Yanjin was indeed an attack on the east and west. The general really knows what's going on."
Lieutenant General Ma Yan couldn't help but praise him, and the rest of the generals echoed in unison.
Yan Liang only glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth, as if he was dismissive of the praises of his generals, he just slashed his sword and said sternly: "Cao's army is approaching, the whole army is ready to fight!"
The signal flag was waved, and the order was passed down layer by layer with the red flag as the center.
In an instant, the nerves of the ten thousand Hebei soldiers were all tense, and they all tightened their weapons.
Yan Liang clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand, looking straight ahead with a razor-like gaze.
At the end of the road, billowing smoke gradually rose, and numerous war horses and human heads appeared and disappeared in the mist. A rushing army, like a ghost emerging from the underworld, was rushing towards this place ferociously.
Brother Guan, are you finally here?
In the spring of that year, Yuan Shao, the fourth prince and the third prince, supported Hebei and united the four Youqing states, and went south to attack Cao Wen. He selected 100,000 infantry and more than 10,000 cavalry, and marched southward with a mighty force. The army entered Liyang, an important town on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Point directly at Xudu.
Yanjin and Baima, one in the west and one in the east, are two important crossings on the south bank of the Yellow River. If Yuan Jun can successfully cross the Yellow River, he must capture one of them.
Therefore, shortly after the army arrived in Liyang, Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang to unite Wanbuqi and attack Baima in the east, hoping to use Baima as the main crossing for the army to move south.
A few days ago, Yuan Shao suddenly received intelligence that the main force of Cao's army was planning to move north from Yanjin and copy Yuan's army's military route. After hearing the news, Yuan Shao immediately led the main force to Yanjin himself.
Yan Liang, who was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, knew that Cao Cao's plan was to attack the east and attack the west.
Cao Cao's purpose was to take advantage of the main force of Yuan Shao's army to be lured to Yanjin, and then suddenly turn around and attack Yan Liang's troops who were besieging Baima.
In fact, although the current Yan Liang is Yan Liang in body, his soul comes from a modern person 1,800 years later.
In the past, he was just a clerk who suffered from office struggles. He accidentally hit a large truck and died because of drunk driving after a dinner.
The moment before his consciousness disappeared, he vaguely remembered that he was being treated on the operating table, but for some unknown reason, when he opened his eyes, his soul actually traveled to Yan Liang's body.
The fierce general who Yuan Shao said could rival Lu Bu was inexplicably beheaded by Guan Yu in the Battle of Guandu, a tragic event for the famous general.
He made Guan Yu famous, but he sadly became the most unlucky person in the Three Kingdoms.
After integrating with the consciousness of the deity, Yan Liang quickly adapted to the current situation and designed several ways out for himself.
At first, Yan Liang wanted to use his historical knowledge to change the outcome of the Battle of Guandu and help Yuan Shao unify the world, but after careful consideration, Yan Liang gave up this idea.
Although Yuan Shao controlled the four states and was known as the largest prince in the world, he was generous on the outside and taboo on the inside. Internally, the scholars from Ruying and Hebei were fighting endlessly. On the surface, he looked strong, but in fact, he was full of contradictions and crises internally.
.
For such a group that is strong on the outside and cadre on the inside, even if Yan Liang uses his historical knowledge to help the Yuan family win the battle of Guandu, I am afraid that it will not escape the end of destruction in the end.
Yan Liang also considered following the trend and defecting directly to Cao Cao.
But then he thought again, Yuan Shao was treating him well now. If he betrayed Yuan Shao for no reason like this, in this era of trust and righteousness, even if he was seeking talents like Cao Cao, he would respect him on the surface but treat him privately.
Presumably there will be some shame.
Yan Liang didn't want to live a leisurely life under suspicious eyes.
What's more, I had enough of looking at the boss's face in my previous life, so why should I continue to look at other people's faces in this life?
Yan Liang has had enough and he never wants to work for anyone else again.
"I have inherited Yan Liang's superb martial arts, the reputation of a famous general, and the historical knowledge that spans thousands of years. Why can't I fight for my own place in this turbulent era where heroes are competing for the throne!"
The wind hit the handle of the knife in his hand, making a rustling sound, and Yan Liang came back from his thoughts.
The dark line on the horizon became thicker and thicker, and the long and distant horn sounded from the sky, empty as if it came from another world.
In the infantry formation of the Hebei Army, the soldiers held their weapons tightly, widened their eyes, and looked anxiously at the enemy who was about to kill them.
It's too early to fight for world hegemony. What we urgently need to face now is how to escape the ecstasy sword from Brother Guan.
Yan Liang's sword eyebrows condensed into a line, and he tightened the protective armor again. The green veins on the back of his hands protruded like vines, and he held a steel knife tighter.
The earth is shaking, the eardrums are rumbling, the yellow sky is contrasting with the dry fields, and the strong wind is whistling in the ears, scraping the face like a knife.
Yan Liang felt his blood gradually boiling, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his chest.
For some reason, instead of feeling any fear, he was eager to meet his fateful nemesis.
Martial Saint Guan Yu, let me go and let me, Yan Liang, have a good time with you.
At the end of the avenue, the black line became thicker and thicker, moving southward faster and faster. Against the background of the faint thunder and the trembling of the earth, the image of the enemy finally broke into sight.
That was not an ordinary Cao army, but a cavalry, Cao Cao's most elite tiger and leopard cavalry.
Yan Liang raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and what he saw was exactly as he expected.
Cao Cao used his main force to pretend to attack Yanjin, but used a small number of cavalry to attack Baima, intending to take advantage of the cavalry's speed and catch him off guard. This was such a clever use of cavalry.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao had several times as many cavalry as Cao Cao, and they were well-armored. They didn't use their mobility, but they used them for sieges like attacking Baima.
Use the power of soldiers to make judgments between superiors and superiors.
"Cao Cao, you are indeed powerful. It's a pity that you can't count on me, Yan Lianghui, to be the biggest variable."
Yan Liang made a horizontal stroke with his long sword, the military flag wavered, and the war drums rumbled. The fighting spirit of the 10,000 Hebei troops suddenly increased, and they concentrated on preparing for a big kill.
More than ten miles away.
The running Cao army weakened its momentum, and thousands of light cavalry formed a military formation, forming a confrontation with the Hebei army one mile apart.
Under the big flag with the word "Zhang" written on it, Zhang Liao stood on horseback and stared at the Hebei Army's formation in front of him, with a hint of heaviness gradually passing through his eyes.
The sound of rapid hoofbeats sounded, and a horse galloped from the rear.
The man was nine feet tall, with a body as majestic as a mountain, and his face was as red as a burning fire.
His jet black long beard reached over his abdomen, and his red phoenix eyes were half open and half closed. He was not angry and intimidated, and his power made all the officers and soldiers of Cao's army around him lower their heads and dare not look up.
"Wenyuan, why didn't you launch a surprise attack as ordered by the Prime Minister?"
The man ran straight to the front of the formation and his voice was like a bell, making people's eardrums ring slightly.
Zhang Liaoyao pointed to the Hebei Army: "Look, Chief Yun, the enemy's formation is rigorous, their flags are clear, and they seem to be well prepared. In my opinion, we should wait until the Prime Minister's infantry arrives before making any plans."
Guan Yu raised his head and squinted at the enemy formation, with disdain in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "The Prime Minister knows things like a god, how can Yuan Jun be prepared? I see that the Yuan Jun in front of me is nothing more than a bluff."
In his words, there was an aloof and arrogant attitude that looked down on the world.
"Having said that, Yan Liang is a heroic general from Hebei and should not be underestimated." Compared with Guan Yu, Zhang Liao was much more cautious.
Guan Yu snorted coldly and looked across the wilderness, fixating on the enemy general under the red flag.
Guan Yu knew that it was the legendary Hebei general Yan Liang.
"The Hebei general, in my eyes, is nothing more than a bidder who sells his head. Let's see if I come here with his head."
Before he finished speaking, Guan Yu pinched the horse's belly, and the red rabbit horse jumped out like red lightning.
"Yun Chang——"
Zhang Liao was shocked, and when he was about to stop him, Guan Yu was already more than ten steps away.
The man and his horse, in full view of the generals of both armies, crossed the open wilderness and galloped towards Yan Liang's location.
The red rabbit horse galloped like the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it was only more than 200 steps away from the Hebei military formation.
A small commotion soon broke out on the Hebei Army side. Lieutenant General Ma Yan pointed forward and said: "General Yan, look, there is a single horse in Cao's army running towards us."
He didn't need to remind him. Yan Liang, who was always on high alert, had already noticed it.
In the field of vision, the majestic body was gradually approaching, and there seemed to be a dazzling fire-like giant snake flowing around the lower body of the man, like a dream.
As he got closer, he saw clearly that the burning fire was actually a huge red war horse.
The long and strong limbs of the war horse, the strips of muscles attached to them, seem to be cast from steel bars. The smooth skin is as bright as a blazing flame. In the howling wind, the red mane dancing in the wind is like a thousand fire snakes.
Moving.
Beautiful bearded male, red rabbit horse!
Guan Yu, you are finally here.
Yan Liang's heart suddenly became tense. Although he inherited the martial arts from his original self, he had never fought against anyone since time travel and did not know his true abilities.
Under this situation, Yan Liangjuan would not be stupid enough to block Guan Yu's sword alone.
Just when Yan Liang was about to give the order to shoot Guan Yu to death with random arrows, Ma Yan said again: "General Yan, I remember that Ambassador Liu told the general before he left that he had a sworn brother named Guan Yu.
He has a face like a jujube, a long beard extending over his belly, and he likes to wear a green hat. He may be among Cao's army. If he comes to defect, let us take good care of him. In the end, I will see this man riding alone. He looks very much like Liu.
This is the Guan Yu that the envoy mentioned."
Yan Liang's heart suddenly shook, and the questions that had been bothering him for a long time were solved in an instant.
No wonder Yan Liang, who Yuan Shao said could rival Lu Bu, was killed by Guan Yu in one blow. It turned out that he was killed by Liu Bei's instructions before leaving!
When Yan Liang suddenly realized what he was doing, Guan Yu had already rushed within a hundred steps, and the Qinglong Sword he was holding upside down reflected the strong cold air.
Although he was a hundred steps away, Yan Liang seemed to feel Guan Yu's extremely strong murderous intent.
