The chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms has produced many talents, including the well-known wenchens: Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and some famous military generals: Dianwei, Ma Chao, Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, and so on. Then many small friends may be curious, are these civilian warriors really as resourceful and brave and strong in history as written in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? We will not talk about anything else today, but let's talk about Zhao Yun, whether his performance in the main history is really as brave and fierce as Luo Guanzhong wrote, and whether he is really the best among the martial generals of the Three Kingdoms?
Zhao Yun, Zi Long, Chang Shan Zhen Dingren, with a majestic posture, is more than eight feet tall. You may not have any concept of eight feet, explain that in the Three Kingdoms period of the ruler unit, one foot is 24.2 centimeters in modern times, so the conversion of eight feet is about 1 meter 93. The height of 1 meter 93 is now a proper tall man, not to mention that it was during the Three Kingdoms period of poverty and social turmoil.
In the last years of the Han Dynasty, various forces were at war. At first, Zhao Yun was only elected to be a squad leader under Gongsun Zhan's account, and at the same time, he met Liu Bei by some coincidence and intersected with him, which was very appropriate. However, he did not follow Gongsun Zhan for a long time, because of the sudden death of his eldest brother and left. About seven years later, in 200 AD, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei met at Yecheng, and that night the two of them had a long talk on their knees and fell asleep together. Zhao Yun deeply sensed the grace of the encounter, and from then on he decided to follow Liu Bei and always be loyal.
Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei, and for thirty years of ups and downs, whether it was on the sword mountain or the sea of fire, he never resigned. He has participated in the Xuzhou Rescue Battle, the Battle of Bowangpo, the Burning of Xinye, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Xichuan, the Battle of Hanzhong, etc., and there are no less than dozens of battles of all sizes, of course, the most famous is the Savior of Changshanpo.
In 208 AD, at the Battle of Changshanpo, Cao Cao personally arrived in Jingzhou with his troops. In August of that year, Liu Biao, the mu of Jingzhou, died of illness and was succeeded by his second son Liu Chun, but this Liu Chun had a weak personality and chose to surrender without a fight because he was afraid of Cao Cao's power. However, at this time, Liu Bei was still in the dark, and by the time he realized it, Cao Cao's army had reached Wancheng, and because the disparity in strength was too great, Liu Bei immediately ordered a rapid retreat.
In the process of fleeing, Liu Bei lost Zhao Yun, so some people rumored that Zhao Yun had surrendered to Cao Cao, but Liu Bei did not believe it, saying: "Zilong will not abandon me." Zhao Yun really lived up to Liu Bei's high hopes, and it turned out that he was not scattered, but returned to the rear alone, in order to find Liu Bei's wife and children. Zhao Yun single-handedly, without the slightest fear of Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army, shuttled between the displaced people and Cao Bing, through hardships and dangers, beheaded several major generals of the enemy side one after another, and finally found Liu Chan and Lady Gan, and successfully brought them back to Liu Bei's side.
Therefore, in the novel, Zhao Yun's force is suspected of being deified, but the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms , Biography of Zhao Yun" contains a true, a sentence "all must be spared" is the best evaluation of Zhao Yun's force, and the character of Zhao Yun has many qualities worth learning.
