Zhao Yun has always been deeply loved by people, brave and resourceful, and his character is superb. Whether fighting alone or facing thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, he can always be invincible and make the enemy feel frightened. At first, Zhao Yun threw himself into Gongsun Zhan, but unfortunately Gongsun Zhan did not know gold and jade, and did not even see Zhao Yun's talent, until he met Liu Bei, the two met and hated each other late, and they talked for a long night. Since then, Zhao Yun has followed Liu Bei on his eastern expedition to the west and made great contributions to Shu Han.
In the Battle of Changshanpo, Zhao Yun single-handedly entered the siege of the Cao army, as if entering no man's land, saving the young lord in danger. When Zhao Yun handed Liu Chan over to Liu Bei unharmed, Liu Bei did not show any joy, but instead looked at Zhao Yun, who was injured, and after taking Ah Dou, he actually threw himself to the ground, patted Zhao Yun's shoulder with both hands, and said: "For Ru this widow, I have damaged one of my generals!" Suddenly, Zhao Yun's tears burst out of his eyes, this was not a sad tear, but a tear of emotion, in Zhao Yun's view, serving the Lord was his duty. Now that Liu Bei had even ignored Ah Dou for him, how could he not repay this feeling of knowing? From then on, Zhao Yun was more loyal to Liu Bei and died.
In addition to changsakapo's single riding savior, Zhao Yun also had brilliant achievements such as intercepting the river to seize Adou, counting Guiyang, Han Shui rejecting Cao Bing, saving Liu Bei, and Fengmingshan's force to kill the five generals. So much so that Liu Bei praised Zhao Yun like this: Zilong is full of guts! But for Liu Bei, what he is best at is neither fighting wars nor strategizing, but attracting talents and winning people's hearts. For a general like Zhao Yun, of course, Liu Bei's focus is to win over the object. In order to envelop Zhao Yun, Liu Bei was even willing to fall on Ah Dou, which showed that Liu Bei really valued Zhao Yun. But why did Zhao Yun, such a brave and resourceful general, lose more and more status in the Shu Han And not be valued?
Liu Bei claimed the title of empress dowager, and rewarded the meritorious Wenwu hundred officials, with Ma Chao as a general on horseback riding, Zhang Fei as a general on che, and Huang Zhong as a general in the rear, while Zhao Yun only made a general of the Yi army. What did General Yijun do? According to the Han general system, general Yijun belongs to the miscellaneous generals, whose rank is much lower than That of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, and even lower than the previous ranks of left and right generals held by Ma Chao and Zhang Fei. So, what was Zhao Yun's specific duty doing at that time? Responsible for defending Liu Bei's safety, to put it bluntly, he was serving as Liu Bei's guard regimental commander. Compared with Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's military positions, it is simply a world of difference. After half a day of trouble, Zhao Yun worked hard for Liu Bei's life, and in the end he basically didn't catch anything. Why would Zhao Yun, who had worked hard and worked hard, be left out in the cold?
Zhao Yun's development was limited. Zhao Yun's initial position was "First Lord Horseman", that is, Liu Bei's cavalry captain, and later Liu Bei captured Jingzhou, and Zhao Yun's position changed accordingly, as "Sima Who Stayed in the Camp", that is, a small general responsible for rear security. Later, after Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, Liu Bei was appointed "General of the Yi Army", equivalent to the commander of the Forbidden Army, and subordinate to the Protector General Fazheng. According to Pei Songzhi's "Notes on the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms", "The first lord is serious with clouds, and he will be able to be neat and tidy, and he will be in charge of internal affairs." It can be seen that in addition to serving as the commander of the Shu Han Janissaries, Zhao Yun also served as Liu Bei's chief of internal affairs. Although Zhao Yun's position is not conspicuous, it can also be seen that Liu Bei trusts Zhao Yun, because these two positions are very critical and have always been held by the emperor's most trusted people.
At the same time, the disadvantage is that it limits Zhao Yun's career development accordingly, and a lot of time is spent on the role of Liu Bei's guard and housekeeper, and the opportunity to go out to lead soldiers to fight is naturally less. And the promotion of generals has always been based on military achievements, so Zhao Yun, who has not achieved much in battle, is naturally incomparable with Huang Zhong and Ma Chao. Therefore, when Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and others were all added to the rank of knight, Zhao Yun could only look at it with his eyes, and the bitterness in it was probably only known to Zhao Yun himself.
Zhao Yun's own personality was so. Zhao Yun was not a man who valued fame and fortune, and with his ability, he could initially defect to cao cao and Yuan Shao, who were powerful, but Zhao Yun eventually chose to follow Liu Bei, who had nothing. After Liu Bei attacked Yizhou, according to ancient customs, he should be rewarded for meritorious service. When Liu Bei was ready to reward the generals with the confiscated land and real estate of Liu Zhang, everyone was full of joy, but only Zhao Yun objected. He said: "Huo went to the disease because the Xiongnu had not perished, and there was no home to do anything, and the thieves of the present country were not only the Xiongnu, but could not seek peace." At the same time, Zhao Yun believed that the fields should be handed over to the people for cultivation, and the houses should also be distributed to the people in need, and only when the people have a good life can they recruit soldiers and pay for grain, and can they maintain long-term peace and stability. Liu Bei was deeply impressed after listening to it.
From here, it was enough to see the broadness of Zhao Yun's mind and the loftiness of his realm. It is understandable to enjoy wealth and wealth in the world, but Zhao Yun can take into account the overall situation and ignore fame and fortune. Therefore, his character does not covet power. Therefore, Zhao Yun seems to be left out in the cold, which is not necessarily a bad thing for him. Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others among the Five Tiger Generals had enjoyed the high-ranking official Houjue before they died, none of them had a luckier ending than Zhao Yun. Things in the world are originally like this, there is no perfect life, only suitable for themselves. Zhao Yun can die peacefully in the chaotic world, perhaps this is his best choice.
