When Zhuge Liang learned of Zhao Yun's death, he didn't cry? Why did he vomit blood and faint when he heard that Zhang Bao had died?
In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhao Yun's status is very high, the official rank is not low, in Liu Bei Jian Shu Han called the emperor was named one of the "Five Tiger Generals", the general is like a later marshal, in the military position of high authority, in the order of Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang, Zhao Yun ranked in the top three, the position is quite important. However, in the canonical records such as the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Chronicle of the State of Huayang, Zhao Yun did not enter the sequence of generals, and was only given the positions of general of Zhengnan and general of Zhendong, and compared with the general, he could only be regarded as a second-rate military rank.
In 229 AD, Zhao Yun, the only remaining "Five Tiger Generals" of the Shu Han Dynasty, also returned to the west, and Zhuge Liang lost an arm in the Northern Expedition. The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records that when Zhao Yun died, Zhuge Liang was preparing for the Second Northern Expedition with a strong army, and after receiving the bad news of Zilong's death, he only said in surprise: "Zilong is resting!" Then symbolically shed a few tears.
Although his relationship with Zhao Yun was relatively good, in his mind, Zhao Yun was only a fierce general, a pioneer, and even a close defender of the lord, so Zhao Yun was not used seriously from beginning to end. And Zhao Yun was a veteran of Liu Bei's period, and he was not personally cultivated and supported by his own hands. Therefore, emotionally, the two did not reach the point of inseparability.
Zhang Bao, as the son of Zhang Fei, can be said to be the most outstanding among the young generation at that time, the future of Shuzhong is to rely on Zhang Bao's generation, plus Zhang Bao's ability is indeed very good, so Zhuge Liang also cultivated Zhang Bao as a great future, in fact, after Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's generation died, who else was in Shuzhong? It was already green and yellow, and it was hard to see Zhang Bao and see hope. But Zhang Bao died again, it can be said that Zhang Bao's death in Zhuge Liang's view on Shuzhong is very large, Zhuge Liang also felt that there was no one in Shuzhong, the Northern Expedition is hopeless, so he will vomit blood.
