In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his image of bravery, fearlessness and righteousness. However, in the famous Battle of the White Horse, Guan Yu's feat of killing Yan Liang and then Wen Chou is little known. Behind this flash kill, there are actually many unknown secrets.
First of all, we have to understand that Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not idle people. As a famous general under Yuan Shao, their strength should not be underestimated. However, in this battle, they behaved exceptionally badly. Yan Liang was dizzy by Cao Cao's strategist Xun You's plan to attack the west, while Wen Chou fell for Cao Cao's plan and fell into a predicament.
At this time, Guan Yu suddenly appeared, and he took advantage of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's negligence to quickly defeat them. In this process, we can't ignore Guan Yu's **-Qinglong Yanyue Knife. The knife was so heavy that it was simply impossible for ordinary soldiers to use it. But Guan Yu can swing freely, which is enough to show his strength.
In addition, Guan Yu's ability to quickly defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou is also related to his mount, the Red Rabbit Horse. The Red Rabbit Horse was extremely fast, allowing Guan Yu to quickly gain an advantage on the battlefield. Under the double blow of speed and strength, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are naturally not opponents.
So, why was Guan Yu able to achieve such a brilliant victory in this battle?In addition to his martial arts strength and well-equipped, there are actually deeper reasons.
First of all, Yuan Shao's pride and contempt for the enemy was an important reason for Yan Liangwen's defeat. Before the Battle of the White Horse, Yuan Shao had defeated Cao Cao many times, making him proud and underestimating the enemy. He trusted his generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou too much to be fully prepared for battle.
Secondly, Cao Cao's cunning strategy was also a key factor in Yan Liangwen's defeat. Cao Cao adopted the strategy of attacking the east and the west, successfully distracting Yuan Shao's attention and creating conditions for Guan Yu to kill Yan Liangwen in seconds.
Finally, Guan Yu's bravery and fearlessness and the swiftness of the red rabbit horse are also important reasons for killing Yan Liangwen in seconds. Guan Yu was not afraid of strong enemies and dared to challenge Yuan Shao's generals. And the red rabbit horse made him like a tiger on the battlefield and quickly won the battle.
To sum up, Guan Yu's killing of Yan Liangwen in seconds is not simply explained by his high martial arts and well-equipped skills. There were many factors involved in this battle: Yuan Shao's pride and underestimation of the enemy, Cao Cao's cunning strategy, Guan Yu's bravery and fearlessness, and the swiftness of the Red Rabbit Horse. The combination of these factors enabled Guan Yu to achieve such a brilliant victory in the Battle of the White Horse. This battle not only demonstrated Guan Yu's bravery and fearlessness, but also profoundly reflected the complexity and variability of war.
