Why did Zhao Yun, who has always been brave, feel powerless in the battle of Fengmingshan?

Introduction: Although Zhao Yun did not receive the extreme attention of Liu Bei, among these generals in Shu Han, Zhao Yun can be regarded as a very powerful person. When Zhao Yun rushed to save Liu Adou alone, he was not afraid of anyone at all, and saved Liu Chan alone. And at the time of seven in and seven out, Zhao Yun was extremely brave.

Everyone mentions the name Zhao Yun without fear, because his strength is too strong. But such a powerful Zhao Yun sighed that he was killed in the Battle of Fengming Mountain. What is the reason that makes Zhao Yun so emotional?

The opponent Zhao Yun faces

Many people will compare Zhao Yun’s wars in Changbanpo and Fengmingshan, because although Zhao Yun met in both wars A strong opponent, but the ending is different. In the first battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun's opponent was Cao Cao. We all know that Cao Cao is a person who cherishes talents very much. As Zhao Yun is so powerful, Cao Cao naturally cherishes such talents. So when Cao Cao was fighting Zhao Yun, he told his people not to hurt Zhao Yun, so Zhao Yun could escape.

Although Cao Cao knew that Zhao Yun was very loyal to Liu Bei, he still had a glimmer of hope that Zhao Yun could turn to Cao Cao. The worst result is that Zhao Yun is unwilling to betray Liu Bei, and Cao Cao is unwilling to kill such a talent, because Cao Cao is such a person who loves talent. But looking at the battle in Fengmingshan, Zhao Yun was not facing Cao Cao of Ai Cai, but the son of Xia Houyuan.

夏侯楙

Xiahouyuan was killed by soldiers of the Shu Han, so his son always hated the people of Shu Han. When I met Zhao Yun this time, the people of Xiahou's family naturally didn't want to let it go. After all, the death of Xia Houyuan was a hurdle in his son's heart, so even if the opponent was Zhao Yun. Xia Houyuan's son used all his strength to deal with Zhao Yun and forced Zhao Yun to death.

There is more than enough heart but not enough

Zhao Yun was indeed a very fierce soldier when he was young, and many people are not his opponents. Take the case of his seven in and seven out. At that time, no one was as fearless as him, so Liu Bei also admired Zhao Yun. But in the battle of Fengmingshan, Zhao Yun was indeed exhausted, which had a lot to do with his actual age.

In the battle of Fengmingshan, Zhao Yun is no longer the young and powerful guy, but a 70-year-old man. Even if Zhao Yun wanted to win this war, there was no way to fight like he did when he was young. After all, his physical strength couldn't keep up. The most important thing in a war is to have enough physical strength to consume, otherwise it will be obvious that there is a little physical exhaustion after a few rounds.

赵云

Zhao Yun led more than a thousand soldiers to Fengming Mountain, but his opponent had as many as 70,000, and he was facing the son of Xia Houyuan. Zhao Yun was anxious to destroy the enemy, but he did not expect to fall into the trap the enemy had already set. Zhao Yun fought with his own soldiers for a few days, but due to weak forces, he could not withstand the fierce attack of Cao Jun.

Responsible on the back

The people of Xiahou family wanted to kill Zhao Yun. They used a lot of lethal weapons, which made Zhao Yun a headache. And he didn't want to be like that at the beginning, just need to take Liu Chan to escape from the siege, and now Zhao Yun needs to take care of his men. If Zhao Yun escapes alone and ignores the soldiers under him, he will be criticized by the world. Therefore, in the Battle of Fengmingshan, Zhao Yun shouldered great responsibilities.

And the two teams have been fighting until you have no winners or losers. It can be seen that Zhao Yun is indeed doing his best to protect his own soldiers. Cao Jun has a lot of lethal weapons. These weapons are very powerful, such as artillery stones and other hidden arrows, which have a great impact on Zhao Yun's army. And Cao Jun’s strength is verySo, they took turns to attack Zhao Yun's army, and Zhao Yun couldn't resist it no matter how powerful it was.

At this time, Zhao Yun knew that he was not young anymore, but he still automatically petitioned to be the vanguard, and Zhuge Liang also agreed. The reason why Zhao Yun was besieged by Cao Jun was indeed because of his underestimation of the enemy, so he felt pressured. Because he didn't want to live up to Zhuge Liang's expectations of him, it was under so much pressure that he sighed that he would lose his life here.

曹操

The timing of the battle is wrong

The terrain of Fengming Mountain is more difficult to attack, just like Hanzhong, it is impossible without precise deployment Get the final victory. It's not that Zhao Yun didn't know the topography of Fengming Mountain, but he was too anxious for success, which caused him and his soldiers to fall into the trap of Cao Jun. Cao Jun had already set up a trap to wait for Zhao Yun to enter, so he was naturally fully prepared.

Because of Zhao Yun's private actions, his army lost contact with the rear area, and the situation was very embarrassing. And the opponent has so many troops and weapons, so Zhao Yun panicked all of a sudden. At first, Zhuge Liang didn't agree with Zhao Yun's leadership, but the current ending really proves this. When Zhao Yun panicked, it would naturally affect the military's morale and the overall strength of the army.

When Zhao Yun rescued Liu Chan alone, no one would notice this sudden person, so naturally they would not put too much thought on Zhao Yun. Moreover, Cao Cao maintained Zhao Yun everywhere so that Zhao Yun could safely return to Liu Bei. But now Zhao Yun is already a very famous person, and his opponent will naturally not relax his vigilance against him, but instead try his best to deal with him. Therefore, it is normal for Zhao Yun to be besieged by Cao Jun.

Zhao Yun escaped by a fluke

Originally, Zhao Yun also thought that he would lose his life here in Fengming Mountain, but he did not expect that he would be able to leave here alive. This has a lot to do with Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had already encountered an accident, so he secretly sent Guan Xing and the others to help Zhao Yun escape. Fortunately, Guan Xing brought people to arrive in time and brought troops to reinforce, so that Zhao Yun could escape from the encirclement of Cao Jun and not be killed in Fengming Mountain. Otherwise, history will be rewritten, and a brave man like Zhao Yun will be defeated here in Fengmingshan.

Guan Xing (stills)

Conclusion: After this battle, Zhao Yun has indeed learned a lot. From this we can also see that Zhao Yun, known as the undefeated general, is not really without experience of defeat. Zhao Yun is very good, but after all, Fengmingshan was still quite old in the first battle, and he was not suitable for being a striker at all. He should face this fact squarely. Moreover, the Northern Expedition was the top priority for the Shu Han, and Zhao Yun's doing so was dangerous for the Shu Han.
