Meet the Person #
The “Annals of Emperor Wu” record Yuan Shao sending Yan Liang and others against Baima, and Cao Cao sending Zhang Liao and Guan Yu ahead to meet them. Guan Yu's biography further records his striking down and beheading Yan Liang. The accounts can be read together but do not supply an unrecorded complete biography.
This site has not yet verified sources sufficient to establish a courtesy name or sobriquet, birth date, or family background, so these remain blank. The graph displays only the verified service under Yuan Shao and Baima fighting.
Approximate sequence, not a timeline drawn to scale.
