We read all the lead to present a different history.
The famous monarchs of ancient China were all very powerful figures. Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms era, known for his benevolence, was deeply loved by people at that time and in later generations. Liu Bei, as a generation of tyrants, went from having nothing to being a hegemon, and it was impossible to have no ability. Liu Bei's subordinates were Zhuge Liang, Wu Xiang, Zhang, and Zhao Yun, and they were strong in strength. Liu Bei has always been praised for being good at using people. In particular, it is not useful to accurately judge Ma Chen, and the successful use of Wei Yan is a typical example. This shows that such a powerful Liu Bei must have his own considerations in personnel arrangements, and there are deep reasons.
Carefully observing Liu Bei's employment, careful people will find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the arrangement of Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun. We all know that Before Liu Bei was born, Zhuge Liang was the lord inside and outside the lord himself, and until his death, he did not give the military power to Zhuge Liang. For Zhao Yun, Ming Ming had always been a general in Liu Bei's hands, and after inviting Zhuge Liang out, Zhao Yun gradually shifted from the front to the rear. Basically, no matter where Zhuge Liang is, Zhao Yun is always nearby, this matter is definitely not a coincidence, and the reason is by no means simple.
First of all, let's review how many simultaneous appearances Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun have. First of all, when he was in Jingzhou, Liu Bei began to plot against Xichuan after gaining a firm foothold in Jingzhou. At the invitation of Liu Zhang, he took Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan into Sichuan, leaving Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yunzhen to guard Jingzhou. In the "Biography of Zhao Yun in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms", it is recorded that "the first lord entered Shu, and the cloud stayed in Jingzhou", and the "Biography of Yun Bei" detailed Zhao Yun's position when he stayed in Jingzhou. "The lord entered Yizhou first, and Yun ling stayed in the camp Sima ." At this time, Lady Sun, the first lord, was proud of her sister, and many generals wu were soldiers, and they were lawless. The First Lord is serious with clouds, and will be able to be neat, and he will be in charge of internal affairs. ”
In Liu Bei's time, a large number of official positions were tailored for Zhao Yun, and this camp Sima was specially designed by Liu Bei for Zhao Yun, responsible for handling the rear military and managing urban security. At this time, Zhuge Liang was in charge of the internal affairs of Jingzhou. Jingzhou's power over foreign troops was in the hands of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the city defense forces were handed over to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun also managed internal affairs, and how close he was to Zhuge Liang did not need to be more verbose.
Later, Liu Bei could not defeat Yizhou and summoned Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun into Sichuan, which became Zhuge Liang's only experience of leading the military in Liu Bei's time. After the capture of Chengdu, Zhuge Liang "served as a general of the military division and took charge of the affairs of the left general's government" and once again handled the internal affairs for Liu Bei. Later, Liu Bei avenged Guan Yu's eastern crusade against Sun Quan, Zhao Yun lied, and Zhuge Liang did not express his position. So Liu Bei arranged for Zhuge Liang to stay in Chengdu and sent Zhao Yun to oversee Jiangzhou. Look at the map to know the importance of Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou between Chengdu and Yong'an, the location of the ground is very convenient. It can not only support Yong'an at the first time, but also rush to Chengdu at any time. Liu Bei's arrangement can be described as incisive. In addition to being close to yourself, you can take care of yourself, and at the same time, you are also quite close to Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei fell ill after failing to defeat Wu, and it didn't take long for him to feel that he was going to die soon. Therefore, he entrusted Zhuge Liang to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was in charge of internal affairs, and Li Yan was in charge of the military. At the time of the orphanage, in addition to Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, Zhao Yun was still nearby. When Liu Bei was defeated in the Battle of Yiling, Zhao Yun went to Yong'an to save the car and stayed near Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang that he could replace his son Liu Chan, Zhao Yun, who was absolutely loyal to Liu Bei at this time, was in Yong'an.
It can be said that throughout Liu Bei's life, zhuge and Zhao Yun's personnel arrangements are a bit strange. Where Zhuge Liang is, Zhao Yun is always nearby. Liu Bei's level of employment is very high, and he has been praised by historians, and it is absolutely impossible to arrange it for no reason. And Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun this coincidence appears too many times, too many coincidences, can it still be considered a coincidence? Therefore, Liu Bei arranged for Zhao Yun to be near Zhuge Liang, and the reason for this was by no means simple.
