Zhao Yun, Zilong, and Changshanren are rare fierce generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, ranking second among the 24 generals of the Three Kingdoms, second only to Wen Hou Lübu, who is the first in the world. He saved Gongsun Zhan, who was chased around the world by Wen Ugly, and has since become a tiger general under Gongsun Zhan, who is "white horse righteous subordinate". Gongsun Zhan was also the first duke officially surrendered by Zhao Yun.
In the Battle of Jieqiao, Zhao Yun beheaded Yuan Shao's general Li Yi, which turned defeat into victory. For the tasks given by the main bus, Zhao Yun can work hard and complain, and can be successfully completed. However, it was Zhao Yun, a capable general who had both a sense of responsibility and strong martial skills, but Gongsun Zhan lent it to Liu Bei.
Personally, I believe that Gongsun Zhan lent Zhao Yun to Liu Bei for the following three reasons.
First, Gongsun Zhan believed that Zhao Yun had come from Yuan Shao's side and therefore distrusted him.
In the second year of Chuping (191 AD), Zhao Yun led the soldiers of ben county to defect to Gongsun Zhan. If Cao Cao got such a general as Zhao Yun, it was estimated that he would be so happy that he could not close his mouth, but Gongsun Zhan was very confused and did not trust Zhao Yun. He suspected Zhao Yun for a reason, because Zhao Yun was a native of Changshan County, which belonged to Jizhou under Yuan Shao's jurisdiction. That is to say, at this time, Zhao Yun was likely to be an undercover agent sent by Yuan Shao to Gongsun Zhan's side.
The heart of harming people must not be there, and the heart of preventing people must not be without, and it is understandable that Gongsun Zhan has this worry. He then asked Zhao Yun: "Hearing that the people of Guizhou are all original yuan clans, how can Jun He return to his heart alone, and can he be confused and can do the opposite?" Zhao Yun replied, "The world is indicted, the unknown is, the people have the misfortune of the county, the contempt for the state, from where the benevolent government is, not for the sake of The General Yuan Gong and private Ming." ”
Zhao Yun was not humble and unassuming, and frankly answered the question of the lord Gongsun Zhan, indicating that the world was in chaos, and I did not know who was the Ming Jun, and we Changshan people, after consultation and discussion, thought that you were a rare Ming Jun, so we came to defect to the general you. However, Zhao Yun's words still did not dispel Gongsun Zhan's doubts. Although Gongsun Zhan did not embarrass Zhao Yun on the surface, he was not important to him.
Second, Gongsun Zhan knew that Zhao Yun and Liu Bei had a good relationship, so he lent it to Liu Bei.
When Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao were fighting for territory, Liu Bei rushed to help in the battle. In the camp of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Guanzhang and Zhao Yun met each other and saw each other as they always were. Liu Bei, in particular, and Zhao Yun seemed to get along more closely than his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms. The biography of Guan Yu records that "the first lord and the two people slept in the same bed, enruo brothers", it can be seen that in the history of Liu Guanzhang's three people are closely related, not to mention in the interpretation, not to mention the brothers, not brothers are better than brothers. When Liu Bei bid farewell to Gongsun Zhan, he was very reluctant to leave Zhao Yun. For all this, Gongsun Zhan knew it, so he lent Zhao Yun to Liu Bei when Liu Bei proposed to borrow troops to borrow generals.
Third, Gongsun Zhan may have really thought about Liu Bei and lent His most powerful military general, Zhao Yun, to Liu Bei.
Although Gongsun Zhan did not dare to reuse Zhao Yun, he knew that Zhao Yun was an excellent general and a fierce general. Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei studied together with master Lu Zhi and were brothers. As the eldest brother, Gongsun Zhan and his disciple Liu Bei must help him if he has any difficulties. Gongsun Zhan also mixed better than Liu Bei, had his own territory, had his own army, and Liu Bei started from scratch, and it was very difficult to start a business.
In the eleventh time in the speech, after Liu Bei saved Kong Rong, he heard that Xuzhou Tao Qian had difficulties and that his strength was limited. He did not resign, but said that he planned to borrow three thousand troops from his good brother Gongsun Zhan to fight Cao Cao again and relieve the siege of Xuzhou.
Liu Bei came to Gongsun Zhan's camp and said that he wanted to save the people of Xuzhou from the fire and water. Gongsun Zhan said that he did not understand, he felt that Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan had no enmity in recent days, no complaints in the past, why bother to make efforts not to please? Liu Bei replied, "I have already promised people, and I dare not lose my faith." ”
In desperation, Gongsun Zhan lent Liu Bei 3,000 elite soldiers. Liu Bei was still not satisfied, and pointed out his name and surname, and wanted to borrow Zhao Zilong for use. Gongsun Zhan also agreed. Liu Bei got his wish, borrowed Zhao Yun, came to Xuzhou, defeated Cao Cao, and lifted the siege of Xuzhou.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": It is also said that Xuan de left Beihai to see Gongsun Zhan, and said that he wanted to save Xuzhou. "Cao Cao and Jun have no vendetta, so why bother to help others?" Xuan De said, "Prepare people for permission, and dare not lose faith." "I borrowed two thousand from junma infantry." Xuan Deyue: "I hope to borrow Zhao Zilong and his party." "Zan Xuzhi." Xuan De and Guan and Zhang cited three thousand people as the front, and Zilong led two thousand people to Xuzhou.
epilogue:
The reason why Gongsun Zhan lent Zhao Yun to his disciple Liu Bei was mainly because of the above three reasons. Although Gongsun Zhan knew that Zhao Yun was strong in martial arts and was a rare general, on the one hand, he had doubts about Zhao Yun, and on the other hand, he had a good relationship with Liu Bei, so he lent Zhao Yun to Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei did not return Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zhan would not be too careful, and Gongsun Zhan did not pay too much attention to Zhao Yun's going to stay. Instead of letting Zhao Yun follow him everywhere, it is better to let him follow Liu Bei and have a great future.
