In the Liu Bei Group, there is such a person who has not been reused in his life, but he has been alive for hundreds of years. He is Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun's evaluation in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very high, not only called "full of guts", but even more, known as the god of war. Moreover, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei had a very good relationship, although they did not worship, but they were also known as Liu Bei's "fourth brother", which can be said to be Liu Bei's confidant general.
However, just such a brave general, Liu Bei only gave Zhao Yun the position of a general of the Zhen Army, which was not high or low, but had no power. To put it bluntly, it is Liu Bei's "bodyguard" position. As a result, Zhao Yun did not participate in any large-scale wars, did not have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and was not reused.
Although Zhao Yun was not reused, his influence was no less than that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Even, in a sense, his reputation is even greater. For example, he went in and out of a million troops seven times to save the young lord; for example, he was undefeated and no one could beat him. These are the fames that have been passed down to future generations. Although, he has something missing, some regrets. However, in Liu Bei's heart, Zhao Yun has always had a very important position, even before Liu Bei's death, he must say some very crucial things to Zhao Yun.
Many people think that Liu Beituo is only lonely to Zhuge Liang, but in fact, Liu Bei is not only lonely to Zhuge Liang, but also to Zhao Yuntuo. It can be seen that the weight of Zhao Yun in Liu Bei's heart is no less than zhuge Liang. Liu Bei said to Zhao Yun: "When you met in your troubles, you did not think that you would be parting here today, and when you remembered your old friendship with me, you must look after my child (Liu Chan) and not live up to my last words." When Zhao Yun heard this, he wept bitterly and knelt down, saying, "The subject is willing to do the work of dogs and horses!" ”
This passage appears in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although no such section appears in the main history. But since the yanyi will write it this way, it means that there must be some unique reason for this. After the analysis of the editor, two reasons were drawn. One is that Zhao Yun is not reused, which makes many people feel "unfair" for Zhao Yun, presumably Luo Guanzhong, who wrote the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", will also have such an idea, so he is willing to add this scene to Zhao Yun and let Zhao Yun accept Liu Bei's last words.
Second, Zhao Yun himself was a very talented general, not only that, he was still very kind to Shu Han, liu Chan's savior and Liu Bei's personal bodyguard. Such a figure, Liu Bei according to the reason, can not be ignored, although there is no record in the main history, but it does not rule out the possibility of saying. Later generations guessed and guessed, there are all kinds of statements, so Luo Guanzhong will choose a more reasonable statement, so there is a bridge section of "Tou Lonely Zhao Yun".
Then back to the story itself, the focus of Liu Bei's words to Zhao Yun is: "You are my brother and Liu Chan's savior, after I die, you must remember to protect Liu Chan!" The amount of information in this sentence is still relatively large, and it is worth pondering. It can be said that it is a little more informative than Liu Bei's words to Zhuge Liang, "Jun can take it upon himself".
Protecting Liu Chan is a special power. Because in Liu Bei's view, this sentence can be said to have given Zhao Yunsheng the power to kill and seize the house, making Zhao Yun a close confidant of Liu Chan. At the same time, he said to Zhuge Liang, "A king can take his own favor", which shows that he already intends to hand over the entire Shu kingdom to Zhuge Liang, at least on the surface. Because he knew that after his death, no one would be able to balance Zhuge Liang, not even his son Liu Chan. If Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang had to go inside one day, Liu Bei hoped that Zhao Yun would be toward Liu Chan.
If Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan themselves did not contradict each other, Zhao Yun would not have to interfere with Zhuge Liang's policies. But once Liu Chan's life is in danger, then Zhao Yun can justifiably perform his duties, which can be said to be the last bottom card left by Liu Bei to Liu Chan. Counting the descendants such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who would not betray him, Liu Bei left Liu Chan with many protective measures, just to balance Zhuge Liang.
Zhao Yun was sad at that time, and only said one sentence: "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" This sentence shows that Zhao Yun only wanted to simply obey Liu Bei's idea, and did not think of the deep level of balancing Zhuge Liang and protecting Liu Chan. That is to say, Zhao Yun did not arrange himself in a position of balance with Zhuge Liang, he still only wanted to be a courtier.
Zhuge Liang was also present at the time, and he must have understood this sentence, but he did not dare to say it. Because when Liu Bei said, "Jun can take his own life", he already knew his own path in his heart. If he breaks this truth, he may put himself in a dangerous situation, and may also make Liu Bei feel bitterly disappointed.
Of course, Zhuge Liang also understood such a truth later, and could only continue to fight and preserve his position while maintaining his reputation. In the end, he fell to Gojohara, bowed down and died, leaving behind a heroic name. If he does not fight, then he will face an internal power struggle, whether he wins or loses, his reputation will be ruined, which he does not want to see. And Zhao Yun, in this way, spent his life as the "last insurance", although he has not had the opportunity to show it, but his loyal attitude, upright character and brave courage have also been handed down and become the "perfect general" praised by everyone.
