Yan Liang (? - 200) was a military general serving under the warlord Yuan Shao during the late Han Dynasty period of Chinese history. He was slain by Guan Yu at the Battle of Boma.

Biography:

Little is known about Yan's life. The only historical records about him could be found in Chen Shou's Records of Three Kingdoms, in the biographies of Yuan Shao, Guan Yu, and Cao Cao. It was implied that Yan was one of the higher-ranking generals under Yuan Shao.

In 200, Yuan mustered an army boasting 100,000 in strength and declared to march on Xuchang, the new capital and base city of Cao Cao. To ensure a safe crossing of the Yellow River, he intended to send Yan to attack Boma (northeast of present day Huaxian, Henan) and set a foothold on the southern bank of the river, but advisor Ju Shou's counsel that Yan was too frivolous to handle the responsibility alone. Thus, Guo Tu and Chunyu Qiong were sent to oversee Yan's operation. Before Ju was stripped of power, he was responsible for the whole army. Yuan later divided Ju's command into three hands: Ju, Guo Tao, and Chunyu were appointed military commanders.

In a counter-tactic, Cao Cao moved his main force westwards along the Yellow River, diverting Yuan Shao's army in the same direction, but sent Guan Yu and Zhang Liao east to relieve the attack on Boma. During the ensuing battle, Yan's chariot was identified by Guan, and was subsequently killed by the latter, his severed head was also brought as a token.

顏良（？－200年），是中國東漢末期袁紹部下的武將。

河北軍閥袁紹的手下猛將。有威名。顏良與文醜一起作為袁紹軍隊的勇將而聞名，孔融以顏良、文醜作為袁紹軍隊的武將代表勸諫曹操小心他們。

200年，袁紹、曹操於官渡交戰。開戰時，沮授勸諫袁紹「顏良性急不可單獨任用」，但是袁紹仍以顏良進攻單獨守護白馬的曹將劉延。（《後漢書·袁紹傳》，《三國志·武帝紀》中顏良是與郭圖、淳于瓊一起進攻。）

面對這個形勢，曹操採納荀攸的建議，扮作攻擊袁紹軍隊背後的樣子，因為打算防禦進攻袁紹的軍隊，顏良軍因而孤立地作戰。這時，張遼推荐當時變成曹操俘虜的關羽，關羽作為援軍被派遣而跟顏良碰上。據《三國志 ‧ 關張馬黃趙傳》說關羽看到顏良的帥旗後，快馬加鞭殺入顏良的大軍，刺殺顏良，帶回了顏良的首級。

三国人物半身像的第一幅完成了。畫起來很沒感覺的一幅畫··· 但是我已經盡力了。我會努力踏實地走下去的，以後還會有一系列關於三國的作品，請期待。 OvQ
