Yan Liang and Wen Chou are two generals under Yuan Shao of Hebei Province. Are they really vulnerable to Guan Yu?

If we talk about Yan Liang and Wen Chou in history, Yan Liang was indeed killed by Guan Yu single-handedly, but Wen Chou is not sure, and these two did not perform well in history.

But from the perspective of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Liang's martial arts is very strong, and he should be able to fight Guan Yu in a normal fight, while Wen Chou is much worse, and indeed far inferior to Guan Yu.

Let’s look at Yan Liang’s performance of force first:

Yan Liang immediately stood under the gate with his sword across his sword. Seeing Song Xian’s horse approaching, Liang gave a loud shout and rode his horse to greet him. The battle failed, and he raised his sword and cut Song Xian in front of the formation. Cao Cao was shocked and said: "What a brave general!" Wei Xu said: "You killed my companion and I am willing to take revenge." ?Fuck it. Then he mounted his horse and took his spear, walked out of the formation and cursed Yan Liang. Liang Geng didn't say anything, he handed the horse over, struck the head with a knife, and chopped Wei Xu off the horse. Cao Cao said: "Who dares to take the responsibility now?" ?Xu Huang responded and fought with Yan Liang twenty times, but was defeated and returned to his own formation. The generals are all stunned. Cao Cao withdrew his troops, and Liang Yi led his troops to retreat.

Yan Liang defeated Xu Huang in twenty rounds. If compared indirectly with Xu Huang, Yan Liang's force was significantly higher than that of Xu Chu, who had a deadlock with Xu Huang in fifty rounds. In fact, this is also logical, because Yan Liang is much stronger than Xu Chu, the strongest in Cao Ying, so Cao Ying would be stunned after seeing Xu Huang defeated in the 20th round.

Yan Liang is intended to set off Guan Yu's tool. Although the author intends to highlight Guan Yu's strength, in order to prevent the collapse of the force system, Guan Yu's killing of Yan Liang is not a fair fight. The reason why Yan Liang was directly killed is explained clearly in Jiajing's popular romance of the Three Kingdoms. Yan Liang was misled by Liu Bei into thinking that Guan Yu was here to surrender. He was about to ask, but the red rabbit was too fast and Guan Yu's sword was not finished before he finished speaking. Just arrived.

Of course, it must be emphasized again that Yan Liang’s role is to set off Guan Yu, so don’t think that Yan Liang is stronger than Guan Yu. That would be a joke. The reason for beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou was that the author loved Guan Yu, so he deliberately made Guan Yu famous all over the world. If Guan Yu is not as good as Yan Liang, then the author has become a high-level villain, and it seems that Guan Yu does not live up to his reputation.

Let’s talk about Wen Chou next. Wen Chou’s military force is far inferior to that of Yan Liang, and naturally it is even worse than Guan Yu. Wen Chou did not defeat Xu Huang directly in Jiajing Ben and Mao Ben. Xu Huang saw the soldiers behind Wen Chou. The horse regrouped before choosing to retreat.

Wen Chou turned around and saw the two generals catching up, so he held down his iron spear, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot at Zhang Liao. Xu Huang shouted: "The thief will not let go of his arrows!" Zhang Liao lowered his head and hid in a hurry. An arrow hit his helmet and knocked away the hairpin. Liao tried his best to catch up again, but Wen Chou shot his horse in the cheek again with an arrow from Wen Chou while he was sitting down. The horse fell to its knees and Zhang Liao fell to the ground. When Wen Chou came back on his horse, Xu Huang quickly stopped him and started fighting. Wen Chou saw soldiers and horses arriving behind him. He was unable to defeat Wen Chou, so he turned his horse back.

However, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang jointly failed to defeat Wen Chou, and Zhang Liao was shot and wounded on his horse. Xu Huang also failed to gain an advantage in the battle against Wen Chou. From the perspective of the novel's text, it somewhat shows that Wen Chou His strength is slightly higher than that of these two people.

Then let’s look at Wen Chou’s performance against Guan Yu:

Suddenly he saw more than ten people on horseback, flags fluttering, and a general coming on horseback with a sword in hand, it was Guan Yunchang. Shouted: "The thief will leave!" ?Wen Chou and Wen Chou were on horseback, but the battle was not three-way. Wen Chou was timid, so he drove his horse around the river. Guan Gong's horse was so fast that he caught up with Wen Chou and cut Wen Chou off his horse with a knife in the back of his head.

This battle between Wen Chou and Guan Yu was completely head-on. In less than three rounds, Wen Chou chose to run away timidly, which can be regarded as Wen Chou's disadvantage. Of course, Wen Chou should still be able to fight if he fights again here. After a while, in order to highlight Guan Yu again, the author asked Guan Yu to catch up with the speed of a red rabbit horse and hack Wen Chou to death. But in general, Wen Chou is indeed far from Guan Yu. If they were fighting to the end, I personally think that Wen Chou died in about twenty or thirty rounds, while Yan Liang fought Guan Yu for more than a hundred rounds and was at a disadvantage.
