Chapter 98: Death of Yan Liang and Wen Chou
On the other side, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were lying in ambush on both sides of the official road. Everything was ready, except for Ji Hao and the others to fall into the trap. But for some reason, both of them felt a little uneasy, as if they had overlooked something.

At this time, if the two of them discuss it, they will each express what is in their mind.

Maybe I will wake up in vain and avoid this disaster.

Unfortunately, the situation within Yuan Shao's group was also complicated. Although the two were often listed together and even often went into battle together, there was also competition between them.

Yan Liang always had the upper hand over Wen Chou, but Wen Chou also always wanted to turn the tables.

The relationship isn't bad, but it's not very good either.

They felt vaguely uneasy in their hearts, and would not tell each other about this cowardly behavior. In addition, they had fought with Guan Yu, Xu Chu and others during this period, and had won many victories by relying on their military strength, so they suppressed it.

He overlooked the most crucial question: Ji Hao couldn't possibly be unaware of Xing Daorong's strength, so would he trust him?
Why did they lift him up on purpose?
"Someone is coming!"

At night, the official road, which should have been filled with the chirping of insects, was silent - unlike the Datong Army, which followed orders and could endure any hardship for victory, Yuan Shao's troops would not feed mosquitoes at night.

Therefore, in order to hide well, they spread quicklime to repel insects and also used mugwort to fumigate.

So much so that after Huang Zhong came over, there was no need to act.

He said loudly, "It's not winter now, it's early autumn, but there's not a single insect chirping on either side of the road. There must be an army ambushing there. We've fallen into a trap!"

After saying this, he turned around and retreated with his soldiers.

This made Yan Liang and Wen Chou both confused.

"Did you see through it?"

"After all, he was once a top-notch general. His physical strength is gone, but his vision is sharp!" Wen Chou said, "We can't let him go back alive. Otherwise, once we tell Ji Hao and let him escape, our lord's plan will fail, and you and I will be held accountable!"

Perhaps, they will not be punished for this, but their mistakes will give other generals the opportunity to take over.

For example, Zhang He.

I am no worse than them in terms of ability, I just lack an opportunity.

"Let's go together!" Yan Liang said, and rushed forward on his horse.

Wen Chou followed closely behind.

The two were only a few feet apart.

If they encounter any emergency, they can usually take care of each other in time. When they fought with Ma Teng before, they used this method and killed Ma Teng in the face of Ma Chao's guards.

However, this is only applicable in general cases.

When Yan Liang was chasing Huang Zhong, passing one soldier after another, and was about to catch up with him, Huang Zhong, who seemed to be determined to escape, suddenly made a comeback.

Yes, a sneak attack.

It is said that being a jack of all trades is equivalent to being a master of none, so why do military generals advocate being proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons?

This is because many weapons have something in common with each other.

All weapons that can be used to "stab forward" can be used to apply spear techniques. Although most people cannot switch freely, Huang Zhong is not an ordinary person, but an old man who is peerless.

At this moment, he fought back fiercely, as if he had returned to his youth.

"Something's wrong!"

After the knife came back, Yan Liang realized something was wrong and suddenly remembered the legend of "man and weapon being one". He raised his weapon in shock and was about to block.

However, not only did Huang Zhong's "turn around" suddenly, but Red Hare was also too fast.

He didn't have time to react at all.

He managed to resist with difficulty, but his strength was not enough and he was caught off guard and his weapon flew away with a "bang".

He also reacted quickly and rode back on his horse.

But Huang Zhong's knife was faster, and in a flash, it had already cut his neck.

So, Wen Chou and other soldiers behind saw an incredible scene: the pursuit was going well, but Huang Zhong suddenly turned back, and then Yan Liang rode his horse towards Wen Chou.

Holding the reins, no weapons.

It looks like it is riding a horse and looking back, but there is no head on its neck.

A headless corpse rode towards the crowd on horseback!
It was night again. The soldiers were so frightened that they exploded.

"Oh my god!"

"ghost!"

"General Yan Liang was killed by a ghost!"

Everyone was so scared that they cried for their parents. That reaction made Wen Chou confused and he had no idea what was going on.

But he knew that Yan Liang was dead and there was a problem with Huang Zhong!
"Retreat, go back!" Wen Chou yelled, and turned back, wanting to escape back to his own army first.

But at this moment, a hidden arrow came from afar and shot straight at his back.

The breastplate and bones on his back were like tofu, not blocking the arrow at all. Wen Chou was riding a horse, and it seemed that nothing was wrong, but the weapon in his hand fell down.

Make Huang Zhong laugh out loud.

"Although I don't want to attack anyone from behind, all is fair in war. I must do my best in this battle. I'm sorry!" After saying this, he put his weapon on his back, held Yan Liang's head in one hand, grabbed Wen Chou's weapon in the other, and led his troops into the mountains.

Nothing happened all night.

Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou formed a pincer attack in the main camp and ambushed Ji Hao.

However, after lying in ambush for a whole night and using up a lot of incense, he still didn't see Ji Hao, which made him feel a little worried.

"Could it be that something happened?"

But think about it carefully, even if something goes wrong, what can happen?
He had a million troops, while Ji Hao only had 80,000, and together with Lu Bu, he only had 180,000. The difference in strength was too great! Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and the others, each had enough soldiers to fight Ji Hao.

What could happen?

"I'll take a nap for a while. If anything happens, wake me up immediately," said Yuan Shao.

Fall asleep quickly.

But strangely, he fell asleep and dreamed of a dark and quiet grove. He could not see the exit in front of him or the way back, and he was all alone.

It made him very flustered.

He hurriedly shouted: "Someone, come quickly!"

You know what, someone really came as soon as I called out.

His two most trusted and favorite subordinates, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, whom he often talked about, rushed out of the nearby forest on horseback and came in front of him, which made him feel relieved.

But the next moment, he was horrified.

Because one of them had no head and the other had an arrow on his chest.

"My Lord, we died miserably!"

Yuan Shao was so frightened by the long voice that he kicked his legs and woke up immediately.

Only then did I realize it was a dream.

A false alarm.

But at this moment, a subordinate suddenly came in to report: "Not good, lord!"

"what happened?"

"Well, it's hard to explain. My lord, you should go and take a look yourself!" said the subordinate, leading Yuan Shao to the gate of the camp.

At this time, the place was already crowded with people.

There are soldiers, civil officials and military generals.

But no one talked, and the place was completely silent.

"What happened?"

Yuan Shao looked over with confusion, and was stunned in an instant: in front of him, he saw two generals in golden armor riding horses, standing side by side.

One was headless, and the other had arrows in his chest.

It was his beloved generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou!
