In 191 AD, Zhao Yun defected to Gongsun Zan . Gongsun Zan asked him why he didn't go to join the powerful Yuan Shao and chose himself.
Zhao Yun replied: "If there is a great chaos today, Yuan Shao is a hero who only pursues his own utilitarianism, completely disregarding the lives and death of the people. I, Zhao Yun, do not want to work for such a person! And the general can implement benevolent politics, so I want to alienate Yuan Shao and favor you."
At the beginning of his debut, Zhao Yun's ideal was to fight for the people of the world.
When under Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun met the Han royal relatives Liu Bei , and the two fell in love with each other at first sight. Zhao Yun was impressed by Liu Bei's kindness and loyalty. Therefore, after Gongsun Zan was killed, Zhao Yun joined Liu Bei's command and fought with him.
Liu Bei also trusted Zhao Yun very much. In 208 AD, Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou , and Liu Cong surrendered without fighting.
When Liu Bei received the news of Liu Cong's surrender, Cao Cao's army had approached Fancheng. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, , knew very well that he could not resist Cao's army by his own strength alone, so he had to retreat in a hurry to Jiangling.
At that time, Liu Bei handed over the work of guarding Mrs. Gan and his son A Dou to Zhao Yun. On Changbanpo, Dangyang, Cao Cao's cavalry caught up with Liu Bei's team and beat him to pieces. Zhao Yun and the others also got separated from Liu Bei.
At this time, some people speculated that Zhao Yun went to join Cao Cao, but Liu Bei believed that " Zilong will not abandon me."
Sure enough, Zhao Yun lived up to his responsibilities and rescued Adou in and out of Cao's army.
Battle of Red Cliff After the victory, in order to consolidate Sun Liu Alliance , Sun Quan married his sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei. Then Sun Quan and Liu Bei discussed to capture Yizhou together.
Liu Bei rejected Sun Quan on the grounds that he "has the same clan as Liu Zhang and cannot bear to attack." Then, he led his men to conquer Yizhou.
Sun Quan was furious when he learned the news and called Liu Bei a villain. He couldn't swallow this, so he thought of a plan and tricked Sun Shangxiang to take A Dou back to Dongwu on the grounds that his mother was seriously ill. Then he detained A Dou and asked Liu Bei to exchange it for Jingzhou.
At this time, since Liu Bei was in Yizhou, and Zhuge Liang went to the front line to discuss northern defense with Guan Yu , the officials left behind in Jiangling could not stop Sun Shangxiang, so they had to send someone to inform Zhao Yun and Zheng to inspect Yangtze River Zhang Fei , while watching Sun Shangxiang take Adou back to Dongwu on a boat.
After receiving the report, Zhao Yun immediately took a few followers and rushed to chase him in a small boat. However, Zhang Fei's whereabouts are uncertain and it is difficult to contact him. Finally, in Shatou Town, border, Zhao Yun caught up with Sun Shangxiang's ship.
He ignored the threat of the Eastern Wu envoy and forced himself to board the ship alone, trying to convince Sun Shangxiang to wait for Liu Bei's news before leaving Jingzhou.
But the domineering Sun Shangxiang rejected his suggestion, so Zhao Yun settled on the second best and asked to keep Adou. Sun Shangxiang refused, Zhao Yun took the sword and robbed him. The envoy of the Eastern Wu wanted to kill Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun fought alone, but he was in a disadvantageous position.
In a critical moment, Zhang Fei led the main fleet to arrive in time.
Due to the huge difference in strength between the two sides, Sun Shangxiang had to keep A Dou and return to Dongwu by himself. Zhao Yun once again rescued A Dou from danger.
Liu Bei later learned of the situation and was very happy and praised Zhao Yun.
In 219 AD, Liu Bei fought with Cao Cao in Hanzhong , while Guan Yu and Cao Ren fought in Xiangfan , and the situation was not good for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao privately formed an alliance with Sun Quan. Sun Quan was also annoyed that Liu Bei took Yizhou with his back and asked Guan Yu to occupy Jingzhou and refused to return it. So the two hit it off.
The result was that when Guan Yu was fighting in Fancheng, Sun Quan asked the general Lu Meng to sneak attack Jiangling, causing Guan Yu to be attacked from both sides: he could not take down Fancheng, he could not retreat to Jingzhou, and had to lose to Maicheng.
Because Guan Yu is usually arrogant and does not pay attention to uniting his colleagues and subordinates, he is also betrayal after his defeat. In the end, only Guanping and more than ten soldiers were left by his side. He was finally captured in Zhangxiang and was beheaded immediately.
After Guan Yu's death, the relationship between Wu and Shu broke down. In order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei decided to devote his whole country to attack Wu Kingdom .
At this time, Zhao Yun came out to dissuade him. He said to Liu Bei:
"The thief of the country is Cao Cao. If Wei is destroyed first, then the power will submit to himself. Although Cao is dead, Zi Pi usurped the thieves. Because of the hearts of the people, he should plan to Guanzhong , live in the upper reaches of the river and Wei to fight against rebellion. Guandong righteous men must wrap grain and ride horses to welcome the king's army. We should not set up Wei, fight with Wu first. Once the military forces are in exchange, we will not be able to resolve the situation. It is not the best way to make a move."
However, in order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei had already given up his promise and refused to listen to Zhao Yun's words, and was dissatisfied with him. When attacking Wu, he did not bring him with him, and he organized the general with the richest combat experience and the most meritorious achievements into the reserve army and stayed at Jiangzhou .
Zhuge Liang didn't persuade him much when he saw Liu Bei angry. So, in July 221 AD, Liu Bei began to lead his army to attack Wu.
But just before the army set off, there was another bad news about Zhang Fei's murder. Because Zhang Fei was wantonly tyrannical to his subordinates, he was killed by his subordinates, Zhang Da and Fan Qiang . He held his head and went to Sun Quan to follow the current. Zhang Fei's death further deepened Liu Bei's hatred for the Eastern Wu.
This hatred made Liu Bei lose his mind. In the Battle of Yiling, the soldiers were actually allowed to stretch for hundreds of miles and stationed in the mountains and forests full of trees and straw. They were seized by Lu Xun and burned the camps, causing heavy losses to Liu Bei's army.
Later, Liu Bei led the remnants to retreat into Baidi City. After the defeat, Liu Bei was extremely sad and his health deteriorated rapidly. He realized that he was not long, so he summoned many of his trusted ministers to entrust them to the orphans on his deathbed.
He said to Zhuge Liang:
"Your talent is ten times Cao Pi , you will be able to safeguard the country and make a big deal. If your descendants can be assisted, assist them; if they are not talented, you can take your own..."
In addition to this sentence, Liu Bei also explained Zhuge Liang's words: "Zilong must not be reused."
Why did Liu Bei say that?
It turns out that "when a person is about to die, his words are good." He said this entirely out of protection for Zhao Yun.
Liu Bei knew people well and was very thorough in studying human nature. He knew very well that Zhao Yun was a man who was in troubled times, but had a kind heart.
Zhao Yun is loyal to Liu Bei and even more loyal to the people, but he often ignores the feelings of the soldiers who follow him through life and death.
This will easily make subordinates feel dissatisfied with him and may even harm him.
For example, after pacifying Yizhou, Liu Bei was preparing to reward soldiers in the army, but he was opposed by Zhao Yun. He believed that after the war, people's livelihood should not be wasted anymore, and people's livelihood should be the priority.
Also after the Battle of Jigu ended, Zhuge Liang wanted to distribute the supplies in the general to soldiers who had made contributions to Shu Han, but was stopped by Zhao Yun again.
Zhao Yun believes that once the war is over, the gold, silver and money obtained should be earned in the treasury and used for the people when the people need it, rather than privately distribute it to the soldiers.
Although his approach was selfless, the soldiers who followed him to fight were very dissatisfied. They risked their lives to charge into battle, but after winning, they had no reward. So who is willing to work hard for him?
shows that Zhao Yun is a person who only cares about the people but ignores the feelings of the soldiers. People like
are not suitable to control military power in a high position. This is the reason why " is kind and does not control military ".
Liu Bei was afraid that Zhao Yun would follow in Zhang Fei's footsteps, so he left his last words and did not allow him to be valued.
Zhuge Liang obeyed Liu Bei's words and did not give Zhao Yun high official position. In the end, Zhao Yun was able to die.
Therefore, Lao Tian believed that it was out of gratitude and love for Zhao Yun, and Liu Bei left his last words before his death and refused to reuse his. What do you think about this? #Telebrity Creation Challenge#
