Is it necessary that a soldier who is a "general" is a "good soldier"? It is estimated in history that the first person to evaluate Zhao Yun's labor achievements, rather than meritorious achievements, may be Jiang Wei in the late Shu Han regime - "Yun Xi from the previous emperor, labor achievements, running the world...", there are "labor achievements" instead of "merits". Could it be that the famous Zhao Yun is really "the pearl is covered in dust"? Is it not true that "good people are good, and mood and anger are not colorless." Liu Bei, who is a good friend and a hero, is really so eyeless? In fact, no, the number of words describing Zhao Yun in the main history is not much, and it is not as heroic as the Zhao Yun in "Yanyi". However, later generations also found a mystery in a few words, why was Zhao Yun, who had few military achievements, able to rise to the top of the Shu Han regime and always serve as the supreme commander of the shu wei troops in the central guard?
The strength of a person's strength value and the combat ability of the unified army are not necessarily related, according to the historical record, Zhao Yun's main duty in the Shu army is to escort the Chinese army, so what is the Chinese army escort? Responsible for protecting the safety of Liu Bei and some other core figures, it is impossible to say that Zhao Yun does not have martial arts, the Chinese army guards are equivalent to the current bodyguards, and they are also the head of the bodyguards, and they are definitely very capable of fighting. And the real conquest of the battlefield, it is not Zhao Yun's duty to attack the city and pull out the village. It can be seen that Zhao Yun is a figure of the myth of yanyi, as Liu Bei's escort chief, although the personal force value is very strong, but he is not familiar with the art of war, nor does he have the practical experience and brilliant achievements in leading soldiers to fight, his main job responsibility is to protect the personal safety of Liu Bei and his family, it can be seen that Liu Bei also has great trust in Zhao Yun.
Let's first look at Zhao Yun's rank as General of the Yi Army. In Liu Bei's "Five Tiger Generals", Zhao Yun ranked behind Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. That is to say, General Yijun is the treatment of Zheng Wupin! What is rare is that although Zhao Yun has made outstanding achievements in battle and has been the savior twice, Zhao Yun has always been strict with himself, not arrogant or dry, not fighting for fame and profit, and working hard and complaining. Coupled with his one-piece skill, Zhao Yun was simply a benchmark figure in Liu Bei's ruling clique!
It was precisely because of Zhao Yun's high wind and bright festival that he was respected by the Shu Han emperors. Although he did not become a heavy general, Chen Shou still passed him on with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This is also the origin of the legendary Five Tiger Generals in later generations. This is also a fair evaluation of Zhao Yun's life. Zhao Yun's life was bright and upright, he was both literate and martial, both wisdom and courage, and left an unforgettable style in the history of the Three Kingdoms. In particular, his indifferent fame and fortune, the selfless character of the Grand Duke, is passed down to future generations and made everyone admire.
