I believe that almost everyone has seen the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in the past, we would read this famous book in the form of books, and now we are more through various film and television works to understand the heroes and deeds in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
When it comes to the Three Kingdoms, the first heroes that everyone thinks of should be Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and so on. In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, in addition to these famous heroes, there were also some characters with extraordinary abilities, but not everyone's talents could be seen.
Today I want to tell you about a wizard in the Three Kingdoms, named Zhao Yun, who followed Liu Bei all his life, but until his death, he was not reused by Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun was one of the Five Tiger Generals, and he had been following Liu Bei all his life, but he had no outstanding achievements and had not become a great general like other generals.
Zhao Yun's greatest task in life was to protect the safety of Liu Bei and the lords at all times. Therefore, Zhao Yun struggled for this cause all his life, and he could not be reused until his death.
In contrast, the other reused generals, the biggest difference between them and Zhao Yun is that they are all experienced in hundreds of battles, and they have made great contributions to the country, and even many of them have walked through the ghost gate. And Zhao Yun accompanied Liu Bei all his life and did not really go to the battlefield, so it was normal not to be rewarded for his meritorious service.
Although Zhao Yun has not made great achievements on the battlefield, when it comes to Zhao Zilong's name, there are still many people who know, but in addition to this name, there is no record that can be linked to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun accompanied Liu Bei to marry Sun Shangxiang during his tenure as Liu Bei's personal bodyguard, and also worked with Sun Shangxiang to rescue Ah Dou in Hengjiang, so this is enough to see that Zhao Yun is a figure with wisdom and ability, but he is better at fighting alone, so he is also known as the King of Singles.
From this point of view, the reason why Liu Bei did not have a heavy responsibility Zhao Yun was also that he knew that his ability in combat was still lacking.
We all know that in ancient times, both men and women were a bit of alcohol, they often ate meat in large mouths and drank in large bowls, so their alcohol was very good, but Zhao Yun's alcohol was not worth mentioning.
In the book, it was recorded twice about Zhao Yun's drinking, the first time he drank alcohol was drunk by Zhang Fei, and the next morning he got up and cried out for a headache, and even the military training could not be completed.
The second time, when the banquet had just started, Zhao Yun quietly left the scene. And if you want to go to the battlefield and lead the troops to fight, which general will not drink? Therefore, these small aspects also created Zhao Yun, who could not be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
Although Liu Bei did not give Zhao Yun too much power in his name, but we think about it carefully, Liu Bei was the emperor at that time, and it was naturally not simple to stay by the emperor's side, and Zhao Yun stayed by Liu Bei's side, responsible for taking care of his personal safety, and being able to entrust his own safety to Zhao Yun was enough to prove Liu Bei's trust and importance to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun is also very smart, naturally able to understand Liu Bei's meaning, so he did not live up to Liu Bei's trust in him, even if he did not have any prominent name, but he has been working hard to accompany Liu Bei, every time when Liu Bei is in deep danger, he can stand up and successfully rescue Liu Bei.
Moreover, when Liu Bei was dying, he also handed over his highest power of life and death to Zhao Yun, which shows how high Zhao Yun's position in Liu Bei's heart is?
No one is perfect, everyone has good aspects, there are also deficiencies, Liu Bei can see the advantages of Zhao Yun, and play his advantages to the extreme, enough to see Liu Bei's wisdom, which is also the reason why he can become a generation of heroes.
Only by putting the right person in the right position can he shine, and through Zhao Yun's life, he can also fully reflect Liu Bei's far-sightedness and unique vision.
