loud　shout　and　galloped　toward　Song　Xian。　The　two　met；　but　after　only　three　bouts；　Song　Xian　fell　under　a　mighty　slash　from　Yan　Liangs　sword。

〃What　a　terrible　leader！〃　said　Cao　Cao。

〃He　has　slain　my　rade；　I　want　to　go　and　avenge　him；〃　then　cried　Wei　Xu。

Cao　Cao　bade　him　go　and　he　rode　out；　spear　set；　and　in　front　of　the　army　railed　at　Yan　Liang。

Yan　Liang　replied　not　a　word；　but　their　two　steeds　came　together；　and　at　the　first　blow　from　Yan　Liangs　sword；　Wei　Xus　forehead　was　halved。

〃Now；　who　again　dares　face　him？〃　cried　Cao　Cao。

Xu　Huang　took　up　the　challenge　and　he　went　out。　The　bat　endured　twenty　bouts；　and　then　Xu　Huang　fled　back　to　his　own　side。　The　other　generals　were　now　greatly　depressed　at　their　failure。　Cao　Cao　withdrew　his　army；　feeling　very　sad　at　the　loss　of　two　generals　in　quick　succession。　Yan　Liang　also　marched　off　his　force。

Then　Cheng　Yu　went　to　see　his　chief；　saying；　〃I　can　produce　a　man　the　equal　of　Yan　Liang。〃

〃Who？〃　cried　Cao　Cao。

〃No　other　than　Guan　Yu。〃

〃I　am　afraid　that　if　he　is　given　an　opportunity　to　perform　that　return　service　he　spoke　of；　he　will　leave　me。〃

〃If　Liu　Bei　is　still　alive；　he　is　with　Yuan　Shao。　If　you　get　Guan　Yu　to　defeat　Yuan　Shaos　army；　Yuan　Shao　will　look　askance　at　Liu　Bei　and　put　him　to　death。　Liu　Bei　gone；　where　can　Guan　Yu　go？〃

This　argument　appealed　to　Cao　Cao　at　once；　and　he　sent　to　request　Guan　Yu　to　e。

Previous　to　obeying　the　call；　Guan　Yu　went　to　say　farewell　to　his　sisters…in…law。

〃You　may　get　news　of　the　Uncle　on　the　journey；〃　said　they。

〃Yes；〃　said　Guan　Yu　and　left　them。

Armed　with　his　green…dragon　saber；　riding　on　the　swift　steed　Red　Hare；　and　having　but　a　slender　following；　Guan　Yu　was　not　long　in　arriving　at　Baima。　He　saw　Cao　Cao；　who　told　him　what　had　happened。　Yan　Liang　was　too　valiant　for　any　to　face。

〃Let　me　look　at　him；〃　said　Guan　Yu。

Then　wine　was　served　for　his　refreshment；　and　while　they　were　drinking；　it　was　reported　that　Yan　Liang　once　again　offered　a　challenge。　So　Cao　Cao　and　his　guest　and　staff　went　to　the　summit　of　a　hill　whence　the　enemy　could　be　seen。　Cao　Cao　and　Guan　Yu　sat　on　the　hill　top；　and　the　manders　stood　about　them。　Cao　Cao　pointed　out　Yan　Liangs　troops　arrayed　on　the　plains　below。　The　ensigns　and　banners　waving　fresh　and　bright　amid　the　forest　of　spears　and　swords　made　a　grand　and　imposing　spectacle。

〃See　how　formidable　these　soldiers　of　the　North　of　Yellow　River　are；〃　said　Cao　Cao。

〃I　regard　them　as　so　many　clay　fowls　and　mud　dogs；〃　said　Guan　Yu。

Cao　Cao　pointed　out　Yan　Liang；　saying；　〃There　under　that　grand　umbrella；　in　that　embroidered　robe　and　that　silver　breastplate　and　riding　on　horseback　and　gripping　that　huge　sword　is　Yan　Liang。〃

〃His　head　looks　as　though　it　was　stuck　on　a　pole　for　sale；〃　said　Guan　Yu；　just　glancing　over　the　army　at　his　feet。

〃He　is　very　terrible。　You　must　not　despise　him；〃　said　Cao　Cao。

Guan　Yu　rose；　saying；　〃I　am　a　poor　thing；　but　I　will　go　over　and　bring　you　his　head　if　you　like。〃

〃Joking　is　not　allowed　in　this　army；〃　interposed　Zhang　Liao。　〃Please　be　careful　what　you　say；　General。〃

Guan　Yu　quickly　mounted；　turned　down　his　mighty　weapon；　and　galloped　down　the　hill；　his　phoenix　eyes　rounded；　and　his　silkworm　eyebrows　fiercely　bristling。　He　dashed　straight　into　the　enemys　array；　and　the　northern　soldiers　opened　like　falling　waves　and　dissolving　storms。　He　made　directly　for　the　mander。

Now　Yan　Liang　sitting　there　in　state　saw　a　horseman　rushing　toward　him；　and　just　as　he　began　to　ask　who　the　rider　of　the　red　horse　was；　lo！　the　horseman　was　there。　Taken　utterly　by　surprise；　the　leader　could　make　no　defense。　Guan　Yus　arm　rose　and　the　mighty　weapon　fell。　And　with　it　fell　Yan　Liang。
