Zhao Yun was a general who followed Liu Bei, this person was a strategist, capable of literature and martial arts, and could be said to be an all-rounder. Zhao Yun was originally a general under Gongsun Zhan, and because Gongsun Zhan defected to Liu Bei, Zhao Yun also followed Liu Bei, and the two met as before.
When Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei, it was the young period in his life, and it can be said that there was a great future waiting for Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's ability is needless to say that under Liu Bei's hands, that is, in the entire Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun is also a general who can be ranked. So why hasn't Zhao Yun, who has followed Liu Bei for many years, not reused?
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the warlords fought, and Zhao Yun was elected by the county and led Yi Cong to join the White Horse General Gongsun Zan. During this time, he became acquainted with Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but soon after, Zhao Yun left because of the death of his brother. About seven years after Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zhan, he met Liu Bei in Yecheng and followed Liu Bei ever since.
Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei for nearly thirty years, successively participated in the Battle of Bowangpo, the Battle of Changsakapo, the Battle of Jiangnan Pingding, and single-handedly commanded the Battle of Jinchuan, the Battle of Hanshui, and the Battle of Jigu, all of which achieved very good results. In addition to fighting everywhere, Zhao Yun also successively served as a general in Guiyang Taishou, a general who stayed in the camp Sima to guard public security, and a general who supervised Jiangzhou with the Yi army.
The politician's perspective of considering the problem is completely different from Zhao Yun's, not in the interests of the people, but in the interests of the ruling class, the politician will have some actions to hurt the people, such as Liu Bei issued five baht money in Yizhou, which is equivalent to the Kuomintang government issuing legal tender to plunder the people's wealth, the people are poor, but the government is rich, this is the behavior of politicians.
Not only that, Zhao Yun also advised Liu Bei not to cut down Wu before Liu Bei cut down Wu, Zhao Yun said: The national thief is Cao Cao, and now Cao Pi is a Han, he should first go north to Cao Wei, and destroying Cao Wei will naturally be able to recover Sun Quan, and cutting down Wu is not the best policy. At that time, no one else came out to advise Liu Bei, only Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun sometimes did not understand politics, at that time even Zhuge Liang understood that Liu Bei's cutting of Wu was inevitable, and it was a forced behavior, the backbone of Liu Bei's clique were all Jingzhou people, Jingzhou was taken, these people became rootless water, including Zhuge Liang, all jingzhou faction people, were in favor of Liu Bei's cutting of Wu, otherwise the hometown could only become an enemy-occupied area, the Zongmiao temple, the ancestral tomb were in the enemy-occupied area, the ancients attached great importance to this, Liu Bei did not take it back, how to account to the Shu Han qunchen? How to stabilize people's hearts?
But Zhao Yun did not understand this, not because Liu Bei did not trust Zhao Yun, but because Zhao Yun did not understand politics, he could not let Liu Bei reuse Zhao Yun, Liu Bei reused people with political ability, such as Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others, if it was a military general, Liu Bei needed people who could obey and fight, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and others.
But on another level, Zhao Yun is not a very successful person, because Zhao Yun's personality is very straight and loyal, so his personality has also had a certain impact on his career rise. At the beginning of the Eastern Expedition against Wu, Zhao Yun was very opposed, which also violated Liu Bei's intention to avenge Zhang Fei Guanyu, so in the later period, Liu Bei did not regard Zhao Yun as a key training object.
When Liu Bei was dying, he called Zhao Yun to the bedside to take care of him: "Shuo and Qing are in the midst of suffering, from now on, and do not want to be separated here." Qing ke wants to make friends with the past, look at my son sooner or later, and don't live up to his words. "This means that I share the hardships with you Zhao Yun, you are my benefactor, and you are also the person I trust the most, so after I die, you must remember to protect Liu Chan and don't forget my instructions."
In fact, it is a hint that if someone threatens Liu Chan, Zhao Yun can take measures on his own. In fact, this secretly gave Zhao Yun a lot of power. After his death, his son Liu Chan will reuse Zhao Yun, which is a compensation for him!
