Among the Three Kingdoms, the person " Liu Bei " left the most "controversy" for later generations. Some people say he is a "monarch of benevolence and righteousness", while others say he is a "big treacherous and fake". This is a person that is difficult for people to see through their hearts.
But it is undeniable that Liu Bei was an indisputable "hero" in troubled times. He fought repeatedly in his life, fought east and west, and established the family business of Shu Han in troubled times. For his starting point, his achievements were great!
This is not unrelated to Liu Bei's ability to "know people and employ people". Haven't you seen that Liu Bei has almost gathered around him with a large number of top civil officials and military officials. Among the people, it is enough to show Liu Bei's ability in this regard.
Interestingly, there are many heroes gathered around Liu Bei, but he has almost never made a public "evaluation" of the people around him. The only time was the last words of Zhuge Liang in " Baidi City Entrust Orphan HTML " before his death.
This clip once appeared in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There are two main things. One is the remarks about Zhuge Liang's "that can be replaced", and the other is the "evaluation" of the people around him, saying that he is "exaggerated and cannot be reused."
We all know what happened later...
Of course, this is an interpretation in the novel. In fact, in official history, Liu Bei did say to Zhuge Liang "That is not reusable", but this person is not Ma Su, but an unexpected person.
He is Zhao Yun , Zhao Zilong .
Why did he say such a beloved general who is so heroic, loyal to Liu Bei, and even sacrificed his life to save his son many times? Let’s discuss it today.
"Great Hero" Zhao Zilong
The heroes in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be described as "as bright as stars", so many that people can't count them. But there are not many of them to talk about the most perfect heroes, and Zhao Zilong is one of them.
He is not as arrogant as Guan Yu , nor is he as irritable as Zhang Fei , nor is he as Xu Chu is brave but not stubborn, Lu Bu has no loyalty, it can be said that it brings together almost all the good advantages such as force, wisdom, loyalty, and modesty.
From this point of view, he is worthy of being the most perfect hero in the Three Kingdoms in the minds of many people.
We all know that Zhao Yun was originally a general under Gongsun Zan . By chance, he met Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also knew him with keen eyes and took the initiative to win him over.
Zhao Yun did not bear the heavy responsibility and made great contributions to the Liu Bei Group in the years of chaotic times in the future.
The most exciting battle is probably the deeds of "bloody battle against Changbanpo" and "seven in and seven out to rescue Liu Chan " among thousands of troops. Even Cao Cao's at that time exclaimed: "It's a tiger general in the world. If I get this general, why worry about the world's failure!"
Liu Bei, who got such a hero, also regarded it as his confidant "love general". Not only did he deliver his life to him, but he also gave his life to Zhao Yun in front of the two armies, which was enough to show that Liu Bei trusted Zhao Yun with heavy use.
Of course, some people think that although Zhao Yun is good, he also has shortcomings. The main reason is that his record is not as good as others, and he has not had much experience in killing the opponent's powerful and famous generals. He believes that he is overrated in the ranking of generals of the Three Kingdoms.
, indeed, this is true.
But don’t forget that Zhao Yun is mainly responsible for defending his safety under Liu Bei. He did not have the experience of being a current striker many times like Zhang Fei, nor did he have the opportunity to guard one side alone. From this point of view, Zhao Yun’s strength was greatly restricted and exerted.
But the only few opportunities are enough to make people see that Zhao Yun is a rare "loyal minister and general".
But why did such a confidant general say "Zhao Yun cannot be reused" when Liu Bei defeated Baidi City and was about to die?
Is Zhao Yun really "don't match the real name" and does not have the ability to stand alone?
Let’s analyze it in detail below.
"Suspicious King" thought
One of them is the emperor's " balance technique ".
As we all know, Zhao Yun once sacrificed his life to save Liu Chan. In fact, more than once, including the one from Mrs. Sun , there were two totals. This is destined to have a close relationship between Liu Chan and Zhao Yun when they grow up.
After Liu Bei realized that his life was not long ago, as an emperor who started from scratch, he must first ensure that this family business would be passed on to his future generations, and that the country would be stable and that others would not easily take it away.
plus Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other most loyal brothers are no longer there. In addition, Zhuge Liang has extraordinary abilities and high prestige. If he wants to be disobedient and surround him, only Zhao Yun, a veteran, can compete with him.
Many people may think that this is wrong, because Liu Bei once said to Zhuge Liang in person that "that can be replaced" so how can he guard against it?
In fact, as an emperor, I believe more that Liu Bei intends to test Zhuge Liang, rather than really wanting to hand over the country he created.
Therefore, Liu Bei forced Zhao Yun to stand on the side of his son Liu Chan by alienating the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun. In this way, when Zhuge Liang had any trouble, Zhao Yun would definitely be the first to stand up to defend Liu Chan and oppose Zhuge Liang, thereby protecting the foundation of Liu's family.
The second is to protect Zhao Yun.
Although Zhao Yun has great martial arts and unparalleled loyalty, he is slightly lacking in terms of human feelings, especially when he sneered at the officialdom and was difficult to adapt!
When Liu Bei first entered the Bashu area, he seized the property of corrupt officials in the local area and obtained a lot of property. Because the war was hard, many people advocated the private distribution of these gold, silver and treasures to everyone.
Liu Bei agreed with this move and planned so.
But there was one person who disagreed with it, that was Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun believes that these property are all people's pastes for plundering local people and should be returned to the people.
This move is benevolent and righteous, but it offended his colleagues too much. This also made Liu Bei see that Zhao Yun is not a person in the officialdom. He can only make contributions on the battlefield and cannot commit himself to government affairs. If he is trapped in it, it will inevitably bring unexpected "disasters" in the future.
Therefore, Liu Bei told Zhuge Liang not to use Zhao Yun anymore, intending to keep him away from the officialdom and enjoy his old age. This is true. Zhao Yun is one of the few heroes who "dead dead" in the Three Kingdoms.
Third, it is not ruled out that Liu Bei saw some unknown major flaws in Zilong while living with Zhao Yun. Then, when he was dying, he specifically told Zhuge Liang to prevent him from thinking about his old love at a critical moment and ruining a big deal.
But no matter what consideration it is, it is enough to show that Zhao Yun has a high status in Liu Bei's mind, otherwise he would not have to think about his affairs at the moment of death.
It is not in vain that Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan, followed Liu Bei in front of the horse, and made great contributions to his establishment of the foundation of Shu Han.
