Zhan Zhao is modest, elegant, gentleman-like, and has strong martial arts. He has saved Bao Zheng from danger many times. On the way to Beijing to catch the exam, Bao Zheng met Zhan Zhao. He once rescued Bao Zheng from a fierce monk in Jinlong Temple, repelled robbers in Tulonggang and arrested assassins in Tianchang Town. A teacher assassinated Bao Gong. Later, on the recommendation of Bao Zheng, he was appointed as a bodyguard with a knife by the emperor, with the title of "Royal Cat", so Zhan Zhao became a four-grade official.

Zhan Zhao in the classic "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses", the word Xiong Fei, young brave. Therefore, he was famous in all directions at that time, and was honored as "Nanxia" because he lived in Jiangnan for a long time. Zhan Zhao was about twenty years old when he appeared. He is good at flying skills and knows how to use cufflinks and fencing. His weapon is a famous sword. Later, he and his wife Ding Yuehua exchanged Zhan Lu when they got engaged in Mohua Village.

As for whether there is Zhan Zhao in history, there is no detailed history to test, only knowing that this is a legendary knight-errant, who was born in Jianghu, but finally chose to stand behind the sky and protect the road with a sword. There should be no such person in history. He is just a character in the classic Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, and he is also called "Three Heroes" with Ou Yangchun and Shi Ding. As for how Zhan Zhao died, there is no research. The year of his death is unknown. He may have died of illness in old age. After Bao Gong's death, Zhan lost his backer in officialdom and continued to be an official. Therefore, with Zhan's style, it is very likely that he will resign. Throughout Zhan's life, even though it was brilliant, there were many twists and turns, and countless good friends were killed in repeated struggles. Although Xu Liang, the 15th bridled sword, was disheartened, Zhan's heart was no longer boiling, so he quit the Jianghu.
