Guan Yu Slays Yan Liang and Wen Chou
Further information: Battle of Boma and Battle of Yan FordPrior to the Battle of Guandu between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, both sides had engaged in two skirmishes known as the Battle of Boma and Battle of Yan Ford. Yuan Shao sent his generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou to attack Cao Cao's fortress at Boma (白馬; near present-day Hua County, Henan). During the battle, some of Cao Cao's best warriors, including Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, went forth to take up Yan Liang's challenge but were defeated by him. Cao Cao reluctantly allowed Guan Yu to fight Yan Liang and Guan emerged victorious. Wen Chou later came to avenge Yan Liang but was also slain by Guan Yu in a rout. The siege on Boma was lifted as a result.
