This also has to start from the history of the two of them. Xu Chu was one of the eight tiger generals under Cao Cao, and as the boss Xu Chu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the war was raging, he had the ability to call on the villagers to jointly resist the thieves, and he could even pull two cows with both hands to walk backwards for more than a hundred steps to scare off the name of the thief Xu Chu.
How could such a powerful person not have some ability to judge the hour and size up the situation? When Cao Cao occupied Huairu in the second year of Jian'an, he saw that he had good ability and threw out a tempting olive branch, and Xu Chu on this side also simply and neatly led his clan to cao cao, which was known from the fact that Xu Chu could live until Cao Cao's grandson succeeded to the throne.
Of course, with a good boss, you must naturally have good performance to be promoted and raise, right? Later, Xu Chu's performance on the battlefield was really good, and when Jian'an accompanied Cao Cao in his crusade against Zhang Xiu in the third year, as a pioneer, he killed as many as tens of thousands of enemy heads. In the fourth year of Jian'an, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao guandu confronted each other, Xu Chu discovered that Xu and his gang were plotting against Cao Cao to protect Cao Cao's safety.
As for Jian'an's easy victory over Ma Chao in the sixteenth year, after Dianwei's death, Xu Chu became Cao Cao's loyal guard. Step by step, you can find that Xu Chu is a wonderful person, and know what he should do to get the appreciation of his boss Cao Cao. For example, when Cao Cao's clan general Cao Ren came from Jingzhou to pay homage to Cao Cao, it happened that Cao Cao had not yet come out of his own palace, and Cao Ren met Xu Chu outside the palace, and he wanted to invite Xu Chu to sit down and talk in the side room.
Xu Chu only said, "The King of Wei is coming out soon," and then turned around and returned to the palace, so that he incurred Cao Ren's resentment. This kind of he would rather offend the boss's relatives than to cater to his boss, because he clearly knows who gave his reputation, of course, this trick is also based on the fact that he met Cao Cao rather than other kings with too soft ears, in short, Xu Chu's life is a history of white-clad struggles that pursue self-motivation and success.
As for Zhao Yun, his reputation is big, how many people have you heard of In Changshan Zhao Zilong China? At the end of the Han Dynasty, the warlords fought, and Zhao Yun was recommended to the general Gongsun Zhan's men, and incidentally met Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, Zhao Yun, who did not stay long, found that Gongsun Zhan did not seem to be suitable to be his boss, so he simply left under the name of his brother's death. The fate is still very wonderful, seven years later Zhao Yun actually met Liu Bei in Yecheng, and the result was that the two people talked together all night and Zhao Yun was pulled by Liu Bei.
However, Liu Bei was still quite discerning, and what he had wooed was a lord who could be alone in the Nagasaka slope of the Tiger Cave Dragon Pond, staining his robes with blood, and killing the lord who was heavily encircled to protect the safety of the young lord. And most importantly, don't think that Zhao Yun, who can fight so well, is just a martial artist with no brains. When Zhao Yun pacified Yizhou, he also specifically quoted the story of Huo's illness to persuade Liu Bei to return the tian mansion to the people. After Guan Yu Zhang Fei was killed, he also advised Liu Bei not to cut down Wu, and Zhao Yun, who had such a big picture view, was praised by later generations as a Confucian general.
It is reasonable to say that both of them are so loyal and brave, and a single person has the ability to freeze the mighty wind town of Kyushu, so why is it that when the two characters get together, they become Xu Chu afraid of Zhao Yun? Was it really because Xu Chu singled out Zhao Yun and fled instead of being afraid of Zhao Yun? But then again, this doesn't make sense.
First, just from the purpose of the two of them being loyal to their own masters, we can see who is higher and who is lower. First of all, Xu Chu is a person who protects himself with a wise mind, and will not pay any time and effort for those who do not want to do it. For example, Xu Chu united his neighbors to resist the thieves in order to protect himself, and several times he rescued Cao Cao because the other party was his boss. After all, people are blackmailing the Heavenly Son to make the princes' ministers, and his promotion and salary increase and his life are all on Cao Cao's body, can he not take the dim sum? He also ignored Cao Ren because he knew who was the one who really held the power of his own life and death.
Zhao Yun's temperament was much more indifferent and straightforward, and his starting point was to focus on the lord Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei was a self-made man, and there was no benefit to him. For the sake of Liu Bei, Zhao Yun could go alone to save the young lord Ah Dou, who had been abandoned by Liu Bei, or he could ignore Liu Bei's angry exhortation not to be lost in hatred, and even more could point out the improprieties of Liu Bei's occupation of the house. Therefore, for Xu Chu, who hovers on the boundary of making a living by calculating, he does not want to meet a person like Zhao Yun who has no nameless pursuit, after all, do you see that the loyal subjects of the past and the general wall grass are not in harmony?
Second, it can be seen from the importance of their own lives from the two of them. The reason why Xu Chu was anxious to compete after Zhang Xiu's death, but later he was hit on the back by Zhao Yun's gun and fled on ma'anshan. Mainly because At that time, Xu Chu needed a chance to prove himself, and it was not a coincidence that he kicked Zhao Yun's iron plate and lost. Just imagine, Xu Chu, a person who values the future so much, will not cherish his life? Obviously not.
And Zhao Yun is much simpler, because there is not much desire in his heart to be fearless, then when he starts a war, he can use a lifeless way of fighting. Therefore, Xu Chu, who has the same ability, meets Zhao Yun, who does not want to die, and it is inevitable to lose to him, after all, everyone is afraid of being entangled in life. And after losing to Zhao Yun, he decisively chose to avoid him, isn't this what someone like Xu Chu should do? It is difficult to be stupid to send your own life. Therefore, Xu Chu's fear of Zhao Yun was also a matter of common sense.
Third, they belonged to different camps and served different lords. First of all, for Xu Chu, Cao Cao's chest temperament gave him a place for hero to play, and the position of the fu building will fall. But Cao Cao's suspiciousness is also well known, just imagine that China's historical generals are those who have been promoted to the throne, and are regarded as double-edged swords. Xu Chu's extraordinary ability is to make Cao Cao's camp like a tiger, but it may also become a major problem for Cao Cao's confidant in the throat.
Don't think that Cao Cao can do whatever he wants if he trusts himself, then won't Yang Xiu of the chicken ribs finally die? How could xu chu, who was as smart as Xu Chu, not think of this? And the only way to make Cao Cao put his mind at ease is to let himself have a nemesis. However, Xu Chu is the boss of Cao Ying's fierce generals, and it seems that he is invincible to them, and it may also affect his own development.
It's not cost-effective to let them step on their own positions, and the best way to do that is to set their sights on other camps. In the end, Zhao Yun, who was selected under Xu Chu's comparison, was defeated by Zhao Yun anyway, and it was normal to be afraid of him. And in this way, Cao Cao can also find his own weakness, plus he is the best in Cao Ying's martial arts, then it will be safe.
Anyway, to put it bluntly, Xu Chu was afraid that Zhao Yun might not really be afraid on the battlefield of fighting, but because he was reluctant to be bound by fame and fortune, otherwise he was willing to dare to pull the emperor off his horse, how could he be afraid of Zhao Yun?
