Yan Liang
This comment foreshadows Yan Liang's first appearance in Chapter 25, where Yuan Shao deploys him as the commander of a vanguard force to take Boma in a conflict with rival warlord Cao Cao. Cao Cao quickly leads a lightly armed force and come to Boma's defence. True to his lord's compliments, Yan Liang slays two of Cao Cao's warriors, Song Xian (宋憲) and Wei Xu (魏續), and injures Xu Huang in the first encounter.
