Zhao Yun was born in 156. Died in 229. Zhao Yun, the third general of the Five Tigers in Shu. Zilong, a native of Zhengding, Changshan (now Zhengding, Hebei), is famous for his bravery and good fighting skills. Originally a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, he later returned to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was defeated in Dangyang Changbanpo, and Zhao Yun went in and out of Cao Cao's million-strong army, saving Mrs. Gan and Dou. Liu Bei married his relatives in Wu Dong, and Zhao Yun led the guards. Later, he cut off the river to save Dou and used a pike. He is unpredictable and brave. He participated in countless battles in his life and made many outstanding achievements. After the worship of the general of the foreign army, the general of the army conquered the south and sealed Yongchang Pavilion. In 227 AD, Zhuge Liang attacked Guanzhong, lost in Jigu Valley, and returned to Hanzhong, where he died at the age of 73. Later generations have a poem praising Zhao Yun, saying: There are tiger generals in Changshan, and they go forward bravely. Hanshui made great contributions, and Dangyang's surname stood out. Help the young master twice, answer the emperor first. The history books of the Qing Dynasty are loyal and should be immortal. On the military commanders in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhao Yun was a first-rate figure. He is from Calm County, Changshan (now north of Shijiazhuang). After the Han Dynasty came together, he was elected by the county people and joined Gongsun Zan with a small group of local armed forces. I met Liu Bei in Gongsun Zan and they hit it off. Since then, they have forged a deep friendship. Gongsun Zan saw that he was a man who could not accomplish great things together, so he went home on the pretext that his brother was dead. Later, Yuan Shao destroyed Gongsun Zan, and Liu Bei threw himself into Yuan Shao's curtain, so Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei and became Liu Bei's main rider. He has a good eye, as the saying goes, "a good minister chooses his master and does it." Because he was in charge of the guard work, when Liu Bei was defeated by Dangyang Changban, he had the responsibility to defend Mrs. Gan and. He risked his life and finally won Mrs. Gan and the deceased, making a great contribution. Later, Sun Quan married his sister's children and grandchildren to Liu Bei. A group of Wu Dong officials brought by Mrs. Sun were so arrogant that even Liu Bei was helpless, so Zhao Yun was appointed to be in charge of the internal affairs, which made Wu Dong officials afraid to be unscrupulous again. Mrs. Sun returned to Wu and took Dou with her. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei recovered Adou from the Yangtze River, which was another great contribution. He has been cautious and thoughtful all his life. When Guiyang (now Chenxian County, Hunan Province) was pacified, Zhao Fan, the magistrate of Guiyang, was forced to surrender, but the honey trap married the widow Fan Shi. Someone kindly advised him to accept it at that time. Zhao Yun said, "Zhao Fan was forced to surrender, and something happened to him. There are many beautiful women in the world, so why bother? " Later, Zhao Fan ran away, but Zhao Yun was not affected at all. One more thing: He captured Xia Houlan alive when he was fighting Xiahou # in Bowangpo (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms said that Xia Houlan was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei, which was a fiction of the novelist). It turns out that Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun have known each other since childhood. Zhao Yun told Liu Bei that Xia Houlan's death was avoided; I also know that he knows the law very well and was recommended as a military judge, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not take people into his own hands. These two things can be seen Zhao Yun's intentions. Zhao Yun is very strict in principle. When Liu Beijun decided Yizhou, many people suggested that the residence in Chengdu and the mulberry garden outside the city should be divided into heroes. Unique Zhao Yun objected. He said: "Huo Qubing once said: What can we do if the Hungarian mother is not extinct? Cao Cao, the traitor, is still alive. We should sharpen our swords and work hard, and it is by no means the time to enjoy ourselves. Moreover, the people of Yizhou have suffered from the war. It is important to return the farmland to them and let them live and work in peace and contentment. This knowledge has nothing to do with "risking your life for what?" "One more thing, you can see that he can see the big picture. That was after Guan Yu was defeated and died. Liu Bei hated Sun Quan's guts and did his best to crusade against Wu Dong. Zhao Yun said bitterly at that time: "The traitor is Cao Caochang, not Sun Quan. If Wei is destroyed first, Sun Quan will naturally surrender, so there is no need to bother with the sword and soldiers. Now that Cao Cao is dead, Cao Pi usurps Han's independence. It is time for us to inspire the people and uphold justice. We should attack Guanzhong as soon as possible, occupy the dangerous places in the upper reaches of Weihe River and Weihe River, and the righteous people in Kanto (east of Hanguguan) must rise up and respond. Bitter and Wu Dong go to war, when the situation changes, it can't be solved immediately. It is only Cao Yu who benefits. " This analysis is really clear and sharp. Unfortunately, Liu Bei didn't listen and died in defeat. The battle of Jieting is a key to the stable and unfavorable situation after Wei Shu. Zhu Gekongming led troops to attack Qishan, with Ma Su as the pioneer, while Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi led a few troops, bluffing and invading from Gu Yi. It turns out that it is close to Gu Jie and Guanzhong Road, but it is hundreds of miles away from Qishan Road. Kongming wanted to make a big detour and took Chang 'an by surprise. Cao Zhen, the commander of Wei, thought that the main force of Shu soldiers was Gu Jie, so the unified army met him. Zhao Yunbing less, of course, can't move forward; Unexpectedly, Ma Su was defeated in Jieting, and the main force of the Shu army was forced to retreat, resulting in heavy losses. Only Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi returned from the whole division, and the soldiers would have nothing to lose. This kind of courage and calmness is beyond people's reach. If Kong Ming has the wisdom to know people and be good at their duties, and switch Ma Su and Zhao Yun, maybe the future situation will be very different. But, unfortunately, even Zhu Gekongming thinks that Zhao Yun is just a guard captain, so he prefers to use Ma Su. Zhao Yun is one of the only twelve posthumous title ministers in Shu Han, but his fame is far less than that of the other eleven ministers. Why is he inferior to others in qualifications? We will discuss and evaluate his life from a historical perspective. Zhao Yunyuan was a subordinate of General Gongsun Zan of Fenwu. Gongsun Zan also sent Liu Bei, Sima, to follow Tian Ji, the secretariat of Qingzhou, who was privately established by himself, to compete with Yuan Shao, a priest in Jizhou, for Qingzhou. From then on, Zhao Yun was under the command of Liu Bei and was appointed as the main rider by Liu Bei. (2) Among the ministers from Long, their qualifications are second only to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In Qingzhou, Liu Bei was promoted to the plain phase because of his meritorious military service, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were other Sima in charge of the army, but Zhao Yun was not promoted. In the third year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 198), Cao Cao recommended Liu Bei as the left general, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the corps commander, and there was no Zhao Yun. Later, Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to Xuzhou to crusade against the illegal name of Yuan Shu, and Dong Zhao, a priest in Jizhou, dissuaded Cao Cao from appointing Liu Bei, saying only that "going forward with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as our wings", without mentioning Zhao Yun, which shows that Zhao Yun was not valued by people at that time. Supposedly, at this time when Liu Bei was fighting in the north, Zhao Yun couldn't have no chance to win a prize for meritorious service, so the only explanation was that Zhao Yun was the main rider, not engaged in the charge, but served as Liu Bei's bodyguard to protect Liu Bei's safety. But Zhao Yun's fate finally changed in the 13th year of Jian 'an (AD 208). Cao Cao pacified Yuan's father and son, who were entrenched in Hebei, Qinghai and Youzhou, and established himself as prime minister, and went south to Jingzhou. Liu Bei fled south in a hurry and was caught up by Cao Cao cavalry, so he had to abandon his wife and children and escape. Zhao Yun protected Liu Bei's only son and his mother Gan. Therefore, after Liu Bei pacified the counties in the south of Jingzhou, he worshipped the founding fathers and promoted Zhao Yun as the general of yamen. Zhao Yun has his own army for the first time. In the 16th year of Jian 'an (AD 2 1 1), Liu Bei benefited from the invitation of Liu Zhang, a state shepherd, and went to Shu to crusade against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang, the military commander, and Guan Yu, the prefect and general of Xiangyang, stayed in Jingzhou, and Zhao Yun was under the command and control of Zhuge Liang. In the second year, Liu Bei-nan attacked Liu Zhang, called Zhuge Liang, the satrap of Nanjun County, and Zhang Fei, the general of Lu, to enter Shu and take part in pacifying Yizhou. Since Zhuge Liang never commanded the battle, everything from Yufu to Jiangzhou was commanded by Zhang Fei. It can be seen from Zhang Fei's power of life and death over Yan Yan, the prefect of Ba County, that he is not subject to Zhuge Liang, and their status is slightly equal. After Jiangzhou was pacified, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang enfeoffed counties. Zhang Fei went north from Jiangzhou to Jialing River, conquered Dianjiang River, returned to Fujiang River, made a westward expedition to Deyang, and finally joined forces with Liu Bei in Chengdu. ⑦ Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun went up the Yangtze River from Jiangzhou and made a westward expedition to Jiangyang. Zhuge Liang continued to return to the Yangtze River to pacify Doctor, Nan 'an and Wuyang, and Zhao Yun pacified Han 'an, Zizhong and Niuzhuan from Jiangyang to the north, and returned to Zhuge Liang's organizational system in Chengdu. Now, after Yizhou was pacified, Zhuge Liang was promoted to be the general's strategist, acting as General Zuo, in charge of handling political affairs. Zhao Yun was promoted to general Yi Jun, and was no longer controlled by Zhuge Liang. In the first year of Jianxing in Shu Han Dynasty (AD 223), Zhuge Liang came to power, Zhao Yun was appointed as a general, protecting the army, wooing the south, sealing the pavilion in Yongchang, and was soon promoted to the general in Town East. Perhaps Zhuge Liang valued Zhao Yun very much, but Zhao Yun seemed to have failed to live up to his expectations. In the spring of the sixth year of lite (AD 228), Zhuge Liang made a northern expedition to Wei, threatening to seize the State of Yan by road. Wei Mingdi sent general Cao Zhen as the commander-in-chief of Guan Ju's army and stationed in the State of Yan. Zhuge Liang sent Zhao Yun, Zhong Jianjun and Wu Yang General Deng Zhi as suspected soldiers, guarding Jigu and resisting Cao Zhen. I personally led the troops to attack Qishan, and the three counties of Longyou responded to Zhuge Liang and Wei's shock in the ruling and opposition, and the West Town Chang 'an and General Zuo Zhang He rescued Longyou. Zhuge Liang and Prime Minister Ma Su joined the army to guard the street pavilion. Ma Su deployment error, not based on Jieting City, but based on the mountain. Zhang He cut off its waterway, and the Shu army was defeated by Zhang He for lack of water and chaos. While Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi were unprepared, when Ji Gu confronted Cao Zhen, they lost with superior forces, and burned the pavilion road north of Chibi in Baodi Road, forcing Wei Jun to stop pursuing. Zhuge Liang returned to Hanzhong and the above table disintegrated. He summed up the reasons for the failure of the Northern Expedition. Ma Su is a "street kiosk that disobeys orders", Zhao Yun is a "basket valley that can't be quit", and he himself is "unable to learn rules and regulations, afraid of emergencies, and all the blame is given by the minister. How dark it is not to know people. " The failure of Ma Su led to the recovery of the three counties in Longyou, and the army suffered heavy losses and was executed; Although Zhao Yun was defeated, the army suffered little loss and was demoted to general of the town army. Zhuge Liang was demoted to right general, prime minister and president as usual because of personnel oversight. In the seventh year of Jianxing (AD 229), Zhao Yun, a general of the real army, passed away. Throughout his life, his performance was ordinary and ordinary. Even after chasing five generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Pang Tong and Huang Zhong, there was no Zhao Yun. At that time, public opinion in the ruling and opposition circles believed that Zhao Yun saved Liu Chan and should be posthumously awarded, and finally became the last minister among the twelve ministers to be posthumously awarded.
