Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", because of the influence of the times, added a lot of his own views when writing this book, and there were very serious personal preferences, for example, he liked Zhuge Liang very much, so he wrote Zhou Yu as a very angry person, but the historical Zhou Yu was a winner in life, and he was a generous gentleman, and the historical Zhuge Liang was actually just a virtuous courtier, and what he was good at was actually handling the internal affairs of Shu, rather than leading soldiers to fight.
Similarly, although Guan Yu is also very powerful, the author does exaggerate a lot, which can be seen in the chapter where Guan Yu kills Yan Liang. The historical Yan Liang was actually very powerful, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were fighting, and Yuan Shao occupied the upper peak, although Yuan Shao had many shortcomings in his body.
But he was not suitable to be an emperor, although he had great ambitions, and there were countless generals under his hands, especially Yan Liangwen and ugly, who were also particularly powerful. At the beginning, when the various princes went to face Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu together in order to compete for territory and the need to stabilize the situation, all the princes had no way to take Lü Bu.
Some people were also defeated one after another, Guan Yu Zhang Fei Liu Bei and the three people combined could not defeat Lü Bu, it can be seen that Lü Bu's ability is extremely powerful, but at this time, Yuan Shao said that if yan liangwen under his hands is ugly, Lü Bu is simply not enough to see, although Yuan Shao's words may have exaggerated elements, but it is also seen from the side that Yan Liang is very powerful.
Later, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and others under Cao Cao's hands all had no way to take Yan Liang, and it could also be seen that Yan Liang had a certain strength, and most importantly, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang mostly out of opportunity, although there was no dignified competition between the two people, but according to the real history, Yan Liang was more powerful than Guan Yu, but it was ignored.
