"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong."
Every time we hear this sentence, we all feel a shock in our hearts, because these simple words represent one of the most famous heroes of the Three Kingdoms period, his courage can be described as the strongest in the Three Kingdoms, relying on the single riding savior on the slope of Nagasaka and becoming famous in a battle, known as the title of "White Horse General", even his lord Liu Bei also praised him for "all his guts".
But although his reputation is so loud, is his actual ability really so powerful? When he encountered a million military horses in front of him, did he really dare to rush up to the first rank of general alone? This issue has long been controversial.
In fact, in the Three Kingdoms, there are really heroes, there are too many characters and generals are very famous, so there are always commentators who say that Zhao Yun is not as good as this and that, the reason why it has this kind of fame now is only because the future generations continue to beautify and shape his image, and now this perfect image, in fact, it is not, below, I will be for my "liver and gallbladder hero" Zhao Yun completely and correctly once named!
First of all, for those who say that Zhao Yun is not strong, most of them pick out the problems from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as if they really understand the Three Kingdoms.
In fact, Luo Guanzhong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms really portrayed Zhao Yun as a nearly perfect person without the slightest shortcomings. In terms of appearance, he is as handsome as a crown jade. In fighting, he is also strong in martial arts, courageous and strategic. Therefore, many people began to criticize him in various ways, and even often looked for various wild histories to supplement their views, and some people also spoke with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In fact, there are many records of the Three Kingdoms in history, but when it comes to real history, Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms is definitely not OK, and even the author himself has said that seven points are true and three points are false. Then we can only look for it in the main history. However, as far as I know, the only real history in history that has specifically recorded the history of the Three Kingdoms is the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if you do not start from this book, it will be difficult to convince everyone, nor can you deeply analyze the doubts of this period of history.
The book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is specifically used to record the true history of the Three Kingdoms, and it can also be called a history book of broken dynasties, because it does not record all the history except the Three Kingdoms, and it can be said to be the most peculiar history book in the Twenty-Four Histories, and it is also the shortest one, which is also different from most of the ancient Chinese history books.
There is such a passage in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is specifically for the record of Zhao Yun, which is called the "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Shushu , Zhao Yun Biography", and the beginning of this book is first written like this:
"Changshan Zhao Zilong, originally belonged to Gongsun Zhan, and then rode the first lord."
Then it is written that in the Battle of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong was unfortunately surrounded by Cao Cao's army, but Zhao Yun only brought dozens of horses to save Huang Zhong. Zhang Zhu was then surrounded by Cao Cao again, and Zhao Yun once again went deep into the enemy position and successfully rescued Zhang Zhu. In these two things, we can see Zhao Yun's courage and ability, especially the courage, which has to be convincing, so it is not too much to be called "General Hu Wei" and "Hero of liver and gallbladder", and it is not wrong that zhao Yun was later listed by Liu Bei as one of the five tiger generals.
So, now that some people have solved their doubts about Zhao Yun's courage and ability, I will explain to you again the question of which is stronger or weaker than Zhao Yun and other famous generals of the Three Kingdoms. In fact, Zhao Yun's ability to fight alone is also very good, this is also recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is also clearly written that Zhao Yun rarely loses, that is to say, when he leads the army to fight, he rarely loses, and the only person who has defeated him is the great general Cao Zhen of the State of Wei, and the reason why Zhao Yun will defeat the battle that time is because of Zhuge Liang, at that time Zhao Yun was not the commander, only assigned by Zhuge Liang as a partial division, so he failed.
Since Zhao Yun's defeat, he was demoted to an official position by Zhuge Liang, coupled with his old age, so he died soon after. In addition, regarding Zhao Yun's record of leading troops to fight in battle when he was young, even in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was a hundred battles and hundreds of victories, and there was not even a single defeat.
