Liu Biao stroked his beard and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember who Wei Yan was.
It’s no wonder that the important civil and military officials around Liu Biao, such as Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Pang Ji, etc., were either from wealthy families or related to him by marriage. Liu Biao certainly disdained the use of lower-level generals like Wei Yan who were not well-born.
Go and remember.
"Since you said this person is feasible, act quickly and don't let Yan Liang get away." Liu Biao waved his hand and ordered, with murderous intent clearly evident in his words.
After receiving the order, Cai Mao immediately resigned and went to arrange the killing of Yan Liang.
In Huang's Manor, Yan Liang was drinking and chatting with Huang Chengyan.
Since Huang Chengyan was forced to agree to the marriage, he had no choice but to swallow his own bitterness and reluctantly accept the reality.
Yan Liang was a guest from afar and would be his son-in-law. He could not afford to neglect him, so he had to hold a banquet in the village to entertain his future son-in-law.
Yan Liang has a bold temperament and does not like to be rigid. He talks and laughs freely at banquets, as if he is the master of Zhuangzi.
Huang Chengyan, a noble and famous person, always pays attention to elegance whether he is drinking or chatting. How can he tolerate the "vulgarity" of a warrior like Yan Liang? Out of helplessness, he can only drink and laugh with him reluctantly.
Yan Liang doesn't care about that much. If he is happy today, he just wants to drink to his heart's content.
While he was drinking heavily, Zhou Cang came in from the door with a solemn expression.
He walked up behind Yan Liang and whispered: "General, there is an urgent report from Xiangyang. Liu Biao has sent a group of troops out of the city and is heading towards Deng County. Most of them are heading towards the general."
As expected, Liu Biao was still unwilling to give in.
"There was a lot of trouble today. Yan remembered that there were still some military matters to be dealt with in the county, so he left first."
Yan Liang didn't hesitate at all. One moment he was chatting and laughing, but the next moment he stood up and left decisively.
Huang Chengyan wished that the god of plague would leave as soon as possible. He was secretly happy in his heart, but he said: "Is the general leaving now? I still want to have a few more drinks with the general."
"Really? It's rare that Mr. Huang is so interested. Then Yan should just stay in Guizhuang for a few more days and have a good drink with Mr. Huang."
Yan Liang knew that Huang Chengyan didn't mean what he said, so he got excited and pretended to be serious.
Huang Chengyan didn't expect that Yan Liang would actually go up the stairs to the room. He was embarrassed there for a while and didn't know what to do.
Seeing the embarrassment of the old man in front of him, Yan Liang laughed and said, "Yan was joking with Mr. Huang. He is busy with military affairs, so how can he stay for a long time. Anyway, we will soon be our own family. Yan has plenty of opportunities to ask Mr. Huang for advice and say goodbye."
After saying that, Yan Liang cupped his hands, turned around and walked away.
Huang Chengyan followed him out and when he wanted to see him off, he found that Yan Liang was striding like he was in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared around the corner.
Huang Chengyan took a long breath, and a gust of wind passed through the hall. Suddenly he felt a cold feeling on his back. When he touched it, he realized that there was a layer of hot sweat on his back.
"Why don't you call me Miss!" Huang Chengyan's eyes widened and he shouted sternly at the maids on the left and right.
######
It was almost dusk when we left Huangjiazhuang.
Yan Liang came out of the countryside and followed the north road to look at the new fields.
After traveling more than 20 miles, the scout came to report. Sure enough, a group of people arrived at Huangjiazhuang shortly after he left, but unfortunately they missed.
"Liu Biao always refuses to give up and always wants to kill me. It seems I have to teach him a lesson again..."
Yan Liang rode his horse slowly, making plans in his mind.
As they moved further and further away, as the setting sun shone in the west, Yan Liang and his party had already walked out of the boundaries of Deng County and entered his sphere of influence.
At this moment, suddenly dust started flying behind them, horses' hooves sounded, and a group of people and horses were galloping towards them.
"We have already arrived here, does Liu Biao still dare to send people to chase us?" Yi Ji put up a pergola with his hands and looked into the distance, wondering.
Yan Liang turned around from his horse and looked far into the distance, only to see more than ten knights in ordinary clothes approaching fiercely with weapons in hand.
The man in front was like an iron tower, holding a big sword in his hand, and he was quite imposing.
Seeing this scene, Yan Liang couldn't help but wonder: "It's interesting that there are such people under Liu Biao who are not afraid of death, and they dare to chase me single-handedly."
"This place is not far from Xinye. It's better to return to the city as soon as possible." Yi Ji advised.
"It's just a few people and horses, so why be afraid? I want to see who they are."
Yan Liang was calm and composed, without a trace of fear.
While he was talking, the dozen or so horsemen and horses were already chasing him.
The young general in front of him raised his sword and shouted sternly: "Where is Yan Liang?"
The young man has quite a lot of momentum.
Yan Liang took a step forward on his horse and sneered: "This general is Yan Liang, who are you?"
"Wei Yan is here, come and accept your fate!" The general shouted loudly, and without saying a word, he slapped his horse and killed him.
Hearing Wei Yan's name, Yan Liang couldn't help being slightly shocked.
In the novel, Wei Yan was originally under the command of Liu Biao, and Liu Bei led his troops across the river. When passing Xiangyang, he tried to open the city gate and surrender to Liu Bei, but failed and had to defect to Changsha Han Xuan.
The man in front of him came to hunt him down on Liu Biao's orders, so his identity must be Liu Biao's general, and presumably the Wei Yan in history.
In the novel, it is said that Wei Yan had a traitor in his head and died tragically in the end, but Yan Liang admired this person very much.
Wei Yan's martial arts were first-class. In history, after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he did not use Zhang Fei, but made Wei Yan the prefect of Hanzhong.
Liu Bei's ability to recognize people is well known to the world. This alone is enough to prove that Wei Yan is not only a general, but also a handsome man.
Yan Liang immediately wanted to use it for his own purposes, but now that Wei Yan was coming desperately to kill him, he had no time to think too much and had to accept the fight first.
Wei Yan, one man and one rider, pounced on him like a drifting wind. He held a big knife in his hand and struck him head-on with the strong hunting wind.
Once he makes a move, you can see how powerful his force is.
Yan Liang was not afraid, he stretched out his arms and swept out the steel knife in his hand.
throat!
There was a loud noise, and the two waves collided with overwhelming force. Sparks were flying, but Yan Liang did not move at all, but Wei Yan's figure trembled slightly.
When it comes to martial arts, Wei Yan at this time can hardly be called top-notch. It was only through diligent practice in the later period that he could become the best in the world.
Originally, when Wei Yan arrived at Huangjiazhuang, he heard that Yan Liang had gone far away, and was unwilling to do so. He left his infantry and led more than ten cavalry to pursue him, hoping that by killing Yan Liang, he would become famous again.
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. The young Wei Yan considered himself to be superb in martial arts and did not look down on Yan Liang at all. Now that they had exchanged a move, he was deeply shocked in his heart.
"I also said that Yan Liang's martial arts skills were just rumors, but now it seems that he is really so amazing. Could it be that I underestimated the world's heroes?"
Wei Yan's face originally had a ferocious expression, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of shock.
During the exchange of moves, Yan Liang realized that although Wei Yan's martial arts at this time was only slightly better than Wenpin's, he had great potential. He believed that as long as he was tempered, he would become a great weapon.
"Liu Bei can train Wei Yan into a great talent, and I, Yan Liang, can do the same."
While thinking, the two men passed by on the wrong horse.
Yan Liang did not counterattack, but reined in his mount, raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, I see that your martial arts are not weak. Why do you suffer under Liu Biao's command? Why don't you submit to me and help me achieve great achievements?"
Wei Yan's expression changed slightly, and Yan Liang's words touched his sore spot.
However, he only hesitated for a moment and then shouted violently: "My surname is Yan, don't speak arrogantly, Wei will fight to the death with you!"
