Zhao Yun not only saved Liu Bei , but also saved Liu Bei's son A Dou more than once. Especially on Changbanpo , Zhao Yun killed him so much that he was covered in blood and rescued Adou from the crowd of thousands of troops.
After Liu Bei took over Yizhou, Zhao Yun often gave him advice. Guan Yu , Zhang Fei , Ma Chao , Huang Zhong , Zhuge Liang , everyone has a very harmonious relationship with Zhao Yun.
From the boss's perspective, it is fortunate to have such a backbone member in the team and should be given a promotion and salary increase, but Liu Bei did not do this, and Zhao Yun was the lowest among the five tiger generals. Therefore, many people think that Liu Bei treated Zhao Yun badly and bullied him as an honest person.
is not what everyone thinks. Liu Bei has a plan for Zhao Yun’s use. It can be said that looking at the entire Shu Han camp, the person Liu Bei trusted the most was Zhao Yun. For example, only Zhao Yun in Liu Bei's harem can be reported without reporting, and he can also freely bring people with weapons. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, who had a relationship with Liu Bei, and military advisor Zhuge Liang did not have this privilege.
In addition, Zhao Yun's status can also be seen from Liu Bei's entrustment to the orphan.
When Liu Bei was dying, he entrusted Adou and his military and political affairs to Zhuge Liang, and immediately called Zhao Yun over and said to him: "We have known each other for so many years and have always shared weal and woe. After I leave, you must help me watch this family and take good care of your nephew. If someone wants to usurp the throne in the future, no matter who it is, you must get rid of him and protect me Liu family ." Before Liu Bei died, he entrusted such a confidential matter to Zhao Yun, which shows that Zhao Yun must be the person he trusts the most.
Some people say, what about Zhuge Liang? In fact, the usurper in the throne mentioned by Liu Bei refers to everyone except Zhao Yun, including Zhuge Liang. Moreover, after Liu Bei's death, Zhao Yun had an army in his hand. They were not under the command of anyone and did not participate in any military operations. Their only task was to protect the Liu family.
Since that's the case, why has Liu Bei never given Zhao Yun the position he deserves? This is a compliment to Liu Bei's entrusting an orphan before his death was really good at doing it.
Liu Bei knew the ability of his son, so he entrusted Adou to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and Secretary Ling Li Yan . A large part of the significance of Li Yan's existence is to restrain Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang devoted his efforts to the Han Dynasty, who can guarantee that he will not change his mind in the future? Therefore, Li Yan became a chess piece for Liu Bei to check and balance Zhuge Liang.
Similarly, although Liu Bei trusts Zhao Yun very much, what if Zhao Yun also rebelled in the future, although this possibility is very small, as an emperor, Liu Bei must be fully prepared, that is, he can only give him power, but not his position.
After all, if a person has a high position and great power, he is easily out of control. Even if he does not have this intention, it is difficult for the people around him to not encourage him. Therefore, good managers generally do not only value one person in personnel appointments. Because if anyone in a company has the best resources and has the greatest power, if he sets up his own business one day or suddenly gives up, the impact on the company will be huge and terrible.
So even though Liu Bei trusts Zhao Yun very much, he has never promoted him very much. This is also the ancient imperial art. This world will not treat those who are truly capable. As long as you do your part, you will most likely have good results.
