The third of the Five Tigers is a rare military commander in the Three Kingdoms and the first warrior in the Three Kingdoms since Lu Bu. Riding the savior alone is a true portrayal of his ability! But his strategy is also quite good, and he is Liu Bei's most valued general. Be cautious and be known as the ever-victorious general! In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei personally gave Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhongci the title of Five Tiger Generals, and Zhao Yun ranked third after Zhang Guan. However, Zhao Yun in History is not only much lower than Ma Chao and Huang Zhong in his life. In fact, besides Kong Ming, Zhao Yun is probably the most likable character in romance novels. Counting Zhao Yun's heroic deeds in Romance, Zhao Yun's martial arts are superb, and he has encountered numerous strong enemies without losing, and even defeated Zhang He, a famous Cao Wei, several times; When he heroically rescued the old Huang Zhong by the Hanshui River, "the gun was like a pear flower dancing and covered with snow", which scared Huang Xu and Zhang He to dare not resist and let him come and go freely among the armies, like nobody's business; In Changbanpo, Dangyang (note 1), Zhao Yun supported Dou in millions, killed 54 famous Cao Cao soldiers, cut down two flags symbolizing military power, and seized three flags of Zhenshuai. His strength is unparalleled! In Romance, because many enemy generals were killed, there was no one like Zhao Yun. However, almost all the enemies killed by Zhao Yun in the romance are fictional; Among them, the savior of Dangyang and the enemy of Hanshui (note 2) are recorded in historical books, but they are by no means as exaggerated as in the romance. Zhao Yun's military courage was affirmed in Liu Bei's camp. The Biography of Shuyang Opera records the evaluation of Zhao Yun by Yangyang Opera, including the word "fierce in the fierce". However, out of Shu Han, I'm afraid not many people know Zhao Yun. Romance describes the enemy's fear of Liu Bei's camp, and often sends out "Zhu Gekongming's wisdom and Guan Zhao's courage". But what we saw was a letter from Zhou Yu to Sun Quan after Battle of Red Cliffs's death, in which only two heads of Liu Bei and Zhang Guan were mentioned. Let's compare the descriptions in The Three Kingdoms Pinghua written earlier. "Pinghua" said that Zhao Yun is already one of the five generals, but according to historical facts, he is still at the bottom of the five; Although the gun used by Zhao Yun in Pinghua has the reputation of a sharp-edged gun ── it is said that there is no right in the ends of the earth, but it was first defeated by Zhang Fei's Zhang Ba Shen gun and then by Zhang Yi, an iron-armed general. After Zhang Fei heard the news that Zhao Yun was defeated by Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi's plot of "fighting in a rage" even vaguely revealed Zhao Yun's role in the early stories of the Three Kingdoms. Although Zhao Yun is not as radiant as described in romance novels, he is still an excellent soldier. His advantages are: first, he has a deep understanding of righteousness. In that turbulent era, the touchstone of a person's character is who uses his literary talent and martial arts. At that time, for the sake of their wealth, more people helped others to abuse, and even more people knew nothing about it. What about Zhao Yun's choice? According to Yun Chuan, when Zhao came from Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao called him Jizhou Pastoral. Jun Shen is the shun of Zhou people, and good clouds follow. He sneered at Yun: "I heard that people in Guizhou want Yuan Jia. Why can you change your mind alone? " The cloud replied: "The world is fierce, I don't know who it is. The people have the bad news of falling to the county (hanging). We should discuss it from the perspective of benevolent governance, and we should not privately disclose the identity of the general in order to ignore Yuan Gong. " This passage can be regarded as Zhao Yun's political declaration. His principle-"from the benevolent government"; His goal is to save the people who have been suspended. In feudal society, this should be said to be a valuable ideal of life. He voted for Gongsun Zan first and then for Liu Bei, not only out of personal feelings. It is this that makes Zhao Yun much higher than the average soldier. Second, loyalty and righteousness dare to remonstrate. There is such a record in the Biography of the Clouds: Yizhou was established and decided to distribute the houses in Chengdu and the mulberry gardens outside the city to the generals. Yun retorted, "Huo Qubing thinks that it is useless to have a home until the Huns are extinct. Nowadays, traitors are not only Huns, but also unable to make peace. Everyone in the world should return to mulberry and native land. The people of Yizhou, who suffered from the mutiny at first, can return their land and houses, so that they can settle down and resume their duties, and then they can transfer to the military and get their favor. " The first owner followed it. Since then, the military and civilians have been blocked. This incident tells us that Zhao Yun's mind is clearer than many people at the same time. He can not only consider the long-term interests of Liu Bei Group, but also pay attention to winning the hearts of the people. No wonder Liu Bei immediately adopted his suggestion. When Liu Bei was ready to crusade against Wu Dong and take revenge for attacking Jingzhou and killing Guan Yu, Zhao Yun stepped forward and tried to dissuade him, pointing out: "The traitor was Cao Cao, not Sun Quan ... who hit Wu first". Because Liu Bei rejected the rumors of Zhao Yun, Fu Qin and others, he went his own way and was finally defeated by Yiling, weakening Shu Han. This proves the correctness of Zhao Yun's viewpoint from the opposite side. Throughout the history of Han Shu Group, among many military commanders, no one has bluntly advised Liu Bei on fundamental plans like Zhao Yun, which is another place for Zhao Yun to meet people. Third, fairness. Zhao Yun has followed Liu Bei for many years, and has always been self-denying and devoted to public affairs, without favoritism. Before Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao's general Xia Houdun at Bowangpo. In the battle, Zhao Yun captured his subordinate Xia Houlan. He and Xia Houlan are fellow villagers and know each other. In this case, Bai Yun lived first, recommended Ming Lan's laws, and believed that the army was just. Clouds don't have to be close to themselves. Be careful. Not buying privately, but reporting to Liu Bei; Not to add helpers for himself, but to recommend talents for Liu Bei; Business is business, thank you very much! Liu Bei has long appreciated this excellent quality of Zhao Yun, so Liu Bei used to be his left-behind Sima, always conscientious and selfless. In contrast, Yang Yi, who likes and dislikes himself and has feelings of praise and disparagement, is far from it. Fourth, be modest and prudent. Zhaoyun is second only to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Han Shu Group, and has the merit of rescuing Liu Chan. But he never takes credit, never strives for fame and fortune, and can get along well with people who come from behind. This is beyond the reach of Guan Yu, who is only proud, and Wei Yan, who is noble in nature. In the sixth year of lite (228), Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan and was defeated by Jieting. The suspected soldiers led by Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi also retreated in Ji Gu. When retreating, because Zhao Yun personally broke off, the troops were not in chaos. "The military assets are in kind, and nothing is abandoned." Zhuge Liang appreciated this very much and wanted to reward Zhao Yun and his soldiers. At this time, Zhao Yun was not complacent, but said sincerely: "What is a gift if the military merits are not beneficial? Please write it down in the red bank vault and give it in October. " Through this sincere sentence, we can see the strictness of self-discipline and the openness of mind. Those shallow, conceited and boastful people can't look back!
