As the saying goes, "Beauty deserves a hero." During the Three Kingdoms period, too, Zhou Lang and Xiao Qiao were in perfect harmony, and the story of Lu Bu, the first warrior in the Three Kingdoms, and one of the four beauties, Di Xin (there was no such person in history) finally got married, as well as Sun Ce and Da Qiao.
Zhao Yun is a famous general in Shu. As far as romance is concerned, Zhao Yun is not only good at martial arts, but also handsome. Therefore, according to the marriage mode of handsome men and beautiful women in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhao Yun had to find a stunning beauty to be his wife in order to be worthy of his title of star.
But there are many versions about who Zhao Yun's wife is, and many of them are in an orderly way, which seems to be the truth.
First, let's look at the first edition of folklore.
In folklore, there is a story that diusim later became Zhao Yun's wife. This version of the story is a bit romantic, and the whole story is roughly as follows.
After Lu Bu died in the White Gate Tower, the story of Diusim spread to the people. Later, he accidentally met Zhao Yun. The story of diusim found that he was also a hero and later married Zhao Yun.
Because the story of Deusim is a fictional character in literature, this version is not considered.
Secondly, let's look at the versions in the three literary works.
In the novel Green Steel Sword, Zhao Yun's wife finally surfaced. Her name is Li Cuilian. However, novels are literary works after all, and discussion is meaningless.
In the film and television drama Zhao Zilong, Zhao Yun's wife is a beautiful woman. Her name is Xiahou Qingyi. According to the plot of this work, this Tsing Yi is also Xia Houlan's sister. The reflection records that Xia Houlan is a fellow villager of Zhao Yun, but it is not recorded in Xiahou Qingyi. So Tsing Yi is not a historical figure.
Legend has it that one version sounds the most reliable: Zhao Yun married Ma Chao's sister. Many people regard this version as real history.
Ma Chao has a beautiful sister named Ma Yunlu. This beautiful Martha is not only beautiful, but also skilled in martial arts. At that time, General Tiger's sister also said that non-heroes would not marry. As a result, Ma Chao introduced his colleague Zhao Yun to Ma Yunlu, and soon Zhao Yun became Ma Chao's brother-in-law.
This seemingly true story actually comes from the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Zhou Dahuang, a writer of the Republic of China. This work is only a literary work during the Republic of China, and it has no historical authority.
According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhao Yun captured Changsha, Zhao Fan, the local satrap, planned to marry his beautiful sister-in-law to the famous Shu State, but quilt dragon flatly refused. This event is a historical description with the highest credibility.
At the same time, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is also a bridge where Fan Shi intends to show his kindness to Zhao Yun. However, as can be seen from two examples, Zhao Yun and Fan Shi failed to combine.
According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, two things can be confirmed: Zhao Yun didn't get married when he attacked Changsha, and Fan Shi didn't marry him, so Zhao Yun's wife is not Fan Shi.
So, who is Zhao Yun's wife? We can find the answer from the historical materials in the History of the Three Kingdoms.
According to official records, Zhao Yun was single when he attacked Changsha. He was about 40 years old and died at the age of 66. According to this time, Zhao Yun has two sons, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang, so their age will not exceed 25.
So Zhao Yun's marriage age is more than 40 years old. According to this time, the normal story should be like this: After Zhao Yun rejected Fan Shi, Zhuge Liang and Liu Beishen were moved by Zhao Yun's character, so they found a beautiful and kind woman in Jingzhou and married Zhao Yun.
In other words, Zhao Yun did not marry Fan Shi, but he also married a good woman under the arrangement of Zhuge Liang's strategist and master Liu Bei.
