The story of the Three Kingdoms has always been very popular in Japan, with the release of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Dawn of Heroes" in 1992, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Burning of the Yangtze River" in 1993, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Vast Land" in 1994. The game "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was popular in China in the 1990s, was also developed in Japan.
And who is the most popular person among the Japanese in the Three Kingdoms, not Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who are unparalleled in force, nor Zhuge Liang, who is wise and strategic, but Zhao Yun, who is relatively low-key in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Among the young people in China now, Zhao Yun's degree of affection is also quite high, in addition to high strength and loyalty, it is mainly Zhao Yun who shows a calm and delicate attitude that is different from the recklessness of other military generals.
However, during the Three Kingdoms period, compared with other well-known military generals, Zhao Yun was not valued much by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan. Let's analyze.
First of all, Liu Bei, Liu Bei himself actually does not have much talent for hegemony, but he will borrow power and will please his reputation. First, with the strength of his brothers, he and Zhang Fei Guan Yu "Taoyuan Three Knots of Righteousness", among the three liu bei guan yu are very poor, only Zhang Fei is a rich man, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei after worship, scattered the family wealth to fund Liu Bei to start a family. Second, in the name of the descendants of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's identity could not be traced early on, but Liu Bei constantly emphasized that after the Han Room, after receiving the approval of the Han Xiandi Emperor, the name was justified. Third, with the help of the strategists, Liu Bei was bumpy and displaced in the early days, achieving nothing, and only slowly gained a foothold with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, which also showed that Liu Bei himself did not have much ability.
In the process of starting a family, Liu Bei also continued to get some powerful subordinates. Among Liu Bei's assistants, Zhao Yun is actually an old man who has been with Liu Bei for a long time. Zhao Yun showed high strength very early, Liu Bei admired him, and Zhao Yun did not disappoint Liu Bei. All the way to the battlefield conquest, "seven in and seven out of Changshanpo", "flying to intercept the river to seize The Battle", without Zhao Yun's words, Liu Chan, the second-generation emperor of the Shu Kingdom, could not have had the opportunity to be an emperor.
According to Zhao Yun's contribution to Liu Bei, how to see Zhao Yun should also soar to the top with his outstanding battle achievements, and he is in a high position, but the result is not the same.
In 221 AD, Liu Bei became emperor, a large number of courtiers, and the courtiers who followed him were all promoted for their merits and deeds, but Zhao Yun alone had no difference, what did Zhao Yun do, and did not get the reward?
It was only because of what Zhao Yun did when Liu Bei wanted to become emperor that Liu Bei was disappointed.
This is from liu bei into Hanzhong, twenty-four years after Jian'an, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were robbing Hanzhong, and later Zhuge Liang used a strategy, Cao Cao could not attack for a long time, and he was far away from his base area, it took a long time for grain and grass to be transported, and there was not enough grain and grass for a long time, so Cao Cao could only retreat. In this way, Liu Bei got the whole of Hanzhong, the territory was large, the strength suddenly became stronger, and he created a "King of Hanzhong", so that other subordinates could follow the promotion.
However, later in the park 220 Cao Pi became emperor, Liu Bei angrily accused Cao Pi at the same time, his heart was also eager to try, but also can not say it directly, the ancients are like to play the "three please three words" trick. At this time, when a courtier is a courtier, he must know how to persuade him, first of all, he must have a courtier advise him to be called emperor, Liu Bei cannot immediately agree, and he has to tell that he cannot do this, postpone; the courtier then carries out the second persuasion, and Liu Bei postpones it again. Only those who advise again for the third time can agree.
In this process of persuasion, basically the ministers were involved, Zhuge Liang was the general director, but Zhao Yun did not give face, there was nothing to show, which made Liu Bei remember in his heart, and also made Zhuge Liang feel that he was too straight to give face.
Sure enough, after Liu Bei ascended the throne of God, the trend of the times did not use Zhao Yun too much, and when he rewarded the courtiers, everyone was rewarded, and there was only one less Zhao Yun.
In fact, Liu Bei still knew Zhao Yun very well, and he knew that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were loyal to the teachings, but in fact, they were only for him as the eldest brother. Zhao Yun is different, Zhao Yun's righteousness and loyalty are the great righteousness determined by the moral standards in his heart, not against him. Therefore, Liu Bei has always let Zhao Yun be his personal bodyguard leader, unwilling to let him go to the region to be the commander of the military region, he knows that Zhao Yun will definitely protect him, but he may not think about everything for him, if he encounters something different from Zhao Yun's heart, he may have to disobey.
So in the end, when Liu Bei wanted to avenge his brother Guan Yu and cut down Wu, sure enough, Zhao Yun voted against it according to his own analysis. Liu Bei is quite angry, since you don't agree, don't want this personal bodyguard to follow, leave the house.
It was not until Liu Bei's son succeeded to the throne that Zhao Yun was given the title of Marquis of Yongchangting.
Therefore, why zhao yun will be liked by more people now, because he has great righteousness in his heart, higher moral standards, and closer to the saints. And Guan Yu Zhang Fei's righteousness is all for Liu Bei, and compared with Zhao Yun, they are high and low.
