Wei Yan ignored Yan Liang's offer to surrender, knowing that his martial arts skills were inferior, but he still risked his life to kill him.
Yan Liang never thought that with just a few heroic words and a burst of domineering aura, he could win over Wei Yan to surrender.
Historically, Wei Yan valued Liu Bei's reputation as the "Uncle of the Han Dynasty" and took the initiative to follow him. This shows that this man was also a man who had a keen eye for recognizing heroes.
Now, although Yan Liang has defeated Liu Biao and Cao Cao in a row, his reputation has not spread as far as Liu Bei's. It is not easy to recruit Wei Yan to surrender with just one word.
"Wei Yan is just like the book, he has a bad temper. You can't run away anyway. Today I will let you see my Yan Liang's methods."
Ambition burst out in his heart, Yan Liang's lips raised a hint of pride, his body moved, and the steel knife in his hand struck out again.
The sword was like a stream of light, coming from behind and cutting off Wei Yan's head like Mount Tai.
Wei Yan knew that this sword was powerful, so he raised his sword to block it with all his strength.
Bang~~
There was a metallic clang, a piercing sound that shocked the eardrums of those on the left and right.
Wei Yan felt a huge force coming down like a flood, causing his blood to boil. His raised arms were bent and bent, and all the muscles and bones in his body creaked, as if they were about to snap.
"This Yan Liang's sword power is so..."
When he was no longer stunned, Yan Liang turned his horse around and swept out another sword fan, blocking the waist and slashing at Wei Yan's waist.
Wei Yan was shocked by the speed of Yan Liang's attack. He didn't have time to think too much, so he hurriedly raised his sword to block it.
The rolling force blasted upward again.
Wei Yan's body swayed, and his legs clamped tightly on the horse's belly, and he barely managed to stabilize his body.
The second knife was barely received, and the blood in the organs became more and more surging.
At this time, Wei Yan's original arrogance was completely gone, and the look of surprise on his face was uncontrollable.
However, Yan Liang didn't even give him a chance to breathe, and struck out with one knife after another, like mercury leaking from the ground.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves passed by, and Yan Liang's sword skills were wide open and closed, but he was still able to use them with ease.
On the other hand, Wei Yan, although the fight was still a draw and no flaws were exposed, his breath was thicker and he was gradually showing signs of exhaustion.
If we were purely talking about martial arts, how could Wei Yan be Yan Liang's opponent? If Yan Liang fought with all his strength, Wei Yan would not be defeated at this time, but he might have already become a ghost under the sword.
How could Yan Liang bear to kill such a talented person, and now he was fighting with him like he was strolling in the court, to test the depth of Wei Yan's potential, and to show him his martial arts skills and calm demeanor.
After another ten moves passed by, Yan Liang suddenly let out a low roar, and the force on the sword increased sharply. In just a few moves, Wei Yan was forced to deal with it hastily.
At this time, Wei Yan was deeply impressed by Yan Liang's martial arts. How could he dare to look down upon him? He also knew that Yan Liang did not use all his strength to fight him, and the sudden use of force was a warning to himself.
Know your propriety and don't try again.
Although Wei Yan had a violent temper, he was not a reckless man who did not know how to advance or retreat. He knew that Yan Liang was showing mercy and did not want to kill him.
After a few battles, Wei Yan used all his strength to counterattack a few times, and when he saw an opening, he turned his horse and jumped out of the battle group.
Yan Liang did not take advantage of the situation and forced him to kill him. He stood on his horse with his sword in his arms. There was a hint of admiration on his face that was as sharp as a knife.
If Wei Yanguo does not know how to advance or retreat, he is not worthy of being a qualified commander, and there is no pity in killing him.
Now that Wei Yan had retreated knowing the difficulty, Yan Liang secretly approved of it.
Wei Yan drew his sword back and stared at Yan Liang with a complicated look. His expression seemed to be filled with hatred, but also seemed to be somewhat respectful.
After looking at each other for a long time, Wei Yan suddenly laughed and said loudly: "People say that Yan Ziyi's martial arts is superb, and he can't even fight with the beautiful beard. After seeing him today, he is indeed well-deserved."
Although Wei Yan looked arrogant, he did not hide his admiration in his words.
Yan Liang smiled slightly and said calmly: "Old accounts are nothing to worry about. However, Wei Wenchang has such martial arts at such a young age, which really impresses me."
Hearing this, Wei Yan couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.
Wei Yan vaguely remembered that when he fought, he only reported his name but not his nickname, but Yan Liang kept saying the word "wenchang".
"General Yan is in Hebei, but does he know Wei's name?" Wei Yan couldn't help but wonder.
Yan Liang smiled and said: "Chang Wen is a leader among the young generals in Jingxiang. Of course I have heard of it."
Wei Yan's stern face couldn't help but show a bit of pride.
Although he claimed to be extremely talented in martial arts, due to his poor background, he could only serve as a low-level military attache under Liu Biao. Not to mention someone other than Jing Xiang, I am afraid that even Liu Biao himself did not know that Wei Yan was under his command.
human existence.
Now, Yan Liang, a famous general in Hebei and a powerful figure in Jingxiang, thinks so highly of him and even claims to have heard about it.
This is undoubtedly a huge satisfaction for Wei Yan's self-esteem.
With just one word, the hostility on Wei Yan's face disappeared, and Wei Yan felt a little more close to the famous Hebei general in front of him.
Wei Yan's psychological changes cannot escape Yan Liang's eyes.
He then said loudly: "Brother Wei, I'm afraid you won't be able to get Yan's head today. Yan still has military affairs to attend to, so let's just say goodbye. If Brother Wei is interested someday, you might as well come to my new field. Yan
Let’s have a good discussion with Brother Wei.”
After saying that, Yan Liang swiped his sword and made a deep mark three feet in front of the horse.
"Brother Wei, please go back and tell Ambassador Liu that the north of this line is my territory, Yan Liang. If he dares to cross this line with another soldier, I, Yan Liang, will personally lead the army to Xiangyang to seek justice from him."
There was unquestionable majesty in Yan Liang's tone, and the Jingzhou soldiers behind Wei Yan looked awe-inspiring when they heard these threatening words.
After saying this, Yan Liang turned his horse back and slowly drove away while looking north leisurely.
Wei Yan stared at the end of the avenue where Yan Liang disappeared, never daring to cross the ditch line. After a while, he sighed with emotion: "This Yan Liang has some heroic spirit. No wonder Cai Hao's bunch of losers have been defeated in a row."
After sighing for a long time, Wei Yan shook his head and sighed, then turned his horse and looked south.
On the other side of the New Wild Army, Pang Yiji couldn't help but said, "I think that Wei Yan is very skilled in martial arts, and he is a useful talent. The general seems to have the intention to surrender to him, but why did he let him go just now?"
Yan Liang said lightly: "This Wei Yan is arrogant and arrogant. Rather than condescendingly asking him to surrender, it would be better to lure him to surrender. This will make it easier to control this person."
After Yi Ji heard this, he suddenly realized.
Yan Liang's ability to recognize people and his methods of seeking talents are suitable for each person. This kind of insight and courage once again impressed Yi Ji.
Yi Ji couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in his eyes.

When it got dark, Wei Yan led his troops back to Xiangyang City.
In the large tent of the military camp in the city, Cai Mao was waiting anxiously for the news.
When he heard that Wei Yan was back, Cai Mao was overjoyed and rushed to bring Wei Yan in.
A moment later, the man with the body of a tiger and a bear walked into the tent, his face a little gloomy.
Seeing Wei Yan's expression, Cai Hao's heart suddenly went cold, but he still asked with hope: "Did Yan Liang's head be chopped off?"
"Returning to the general, we failed to kill Yan Liang."
Wei Yan did not hide anything, and happily expressed his failure.
Hearing these words, Cai Mao's face suddenly darkened.
