Regarding the characters in the Three Kingdoms, there have always been two images. One is the image in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, the image in the novel. In fact, most of this image is made up by the author, because the novel is not history after all. The other is the image in the history books, that is, the image in history. This image refers to the real image in the official history. So what is the difference between the two images?
Because "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so many people confuse the image of Zhao Yun. Let's compare the difference between the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the official history of the same thing. Let's take a look at the image of Zhao Yun in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
1, the Battle of Changbanpo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The first image of Zhao Yun in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the image of a victorious general, who has never failed in his life.
In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun has experienced more than seventy battles in his life, and has never lost a single defeat. For example, in the battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun has never been afraid of facing a million Cao army. Instead, he bravely smashed one in his arms. Blood Road, one round to cut Chun Yu Dao, one round to kill Xiahou En, 3 rounds to kill Yan Ming, 10 rounds to defeat Zhang Yun, a few rounds to defeat the team of Ma Yan, Zhang Kai, and Jiao Zhang, 3 rounds to kill Zhong Jin, 1 In this round, Zhong Shen was killed, single-handedly rushed out of the encirclement of a million Cao Jun, and Liu Bei's only son, A Dou, was in his arms.
In other words, Zhao Yun broke out of the millions of Cao Jun. Although Cao Cao ordered Zhao Yun to catch Zhao Yun alive, he could rush out without strong force? No one is blocking the killing, can the bravery of blocking the generals break out of the encirclement? These are the most technical battles in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The entire Cao Ying is full of talents, but can't stop one Zhao Yun. Cao Cao's men are like clouds, and they still did not catch Zhao Yun. This not only shows that Zhao Yun is armed. Invincible, even more brave.
2, the battle of Nagasakapo in the official history
The image of Zhao Yun in the official history is to a large extent Liu Bei’s internal defender. It is said that there was no bodyguard during the Three Kingdoms period. Zhao Yun was always responsible for the safety of Liu Bei’s family at the beginning. After Liu Bei established the regime, Zhao Yun He became the leading general guarding one side.
In the official history, it was Cao Cao’s five thousand tiger and leopard cavalrymen who participated in the battle of Changbanpo, not the one million Cao army in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At the same time, Zhao Yun did not fight Cao Jun in the official history, although Liu Bei was defeated in this battle. Fled, but Zhao Yun was the general responsible for protecting Liu Bei’s wife and son. The official history only said that Zhao Yun escorted Liu Bei’s wife, Mrs. Gan, and son A Dou back to Liu Bei in the chaos, but there is no record of Zhao Yun fighting Cao Jun. Changbanpo's seven-entry and seven-out battle against a million Cao army was all fictional in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Even so, Liu Bei’s two daughters were captured by the tiger and leopard riding leader Cao Chun. This is also Zhao Yun’s negligence. After all, he failed to protect Liu Bei’s relatives completely, but Zhao Yun has tried his best. If Zhao Yun met Cao Jun in the official history If this is the case, it is impossible for him to escape, and he also took Liu Bei's wife and son with him. This is the difference between the Battle of Changbanpo and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
3, the five tiger generals
There are five tiger generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, namely: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, but there is no such thing as five tiger generals in official history. Liu Bei said that the Queen of Hanzhong sealed the four generals, the former general Guan Yu, the right general Zhang Fei, the left general Ma Chao, the latter general Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun the Yijun general .
However, the biography of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun are listed in the history book "Three Kingdoms", which shows that the five people have similar status in the eyes of the author Chen Shou, and they are described in the book. There is a concluding remark on the birthday of five people:
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all called enemies of ten thousand people, and they are the world's tiger ministers. Ma Chao resisted Rong's bravery to overthrow his family. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun are strong and fierce, and act as minions. The comment of
obviously regarded the five as a rank of generals. Chen Shou also called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as Shihuchen, that is, tiger generals. Therefore, it is reasonable to call them the five tiger generals of Liu Bei.
4, Zhao Yun's record in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Zhao Yun's record in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in addition to the above-mentioned battle of Changbanpo against a million Cao Jun, there are other records:
Zhao Yun just debuted and Wen Chou in the peak period A tie in fifty or sixty rounds of the war, countIn one round, he stabbed to death the famous Hebei general Ju Yi, in one round, he killed Pei Yuanshao, severely wounded Zhou Cang with three shots, and drew with Xu Chu in 30 rounds.

The Battle of Chibi Zhao Yun singled out Zhang Yun and Xu Huang, and they were tied. During the Battle of Guiyang, he killed Xing Daorong in one round, captured Chen Ying in four or five rounds, and killed Liu Hao, Ma Han, and Hanshui in several rounds. Killing Murong Lie in one round and Jiao Bing in one round, Zhang Yun and Xu Huang were afraid to face Zhao Yun.

In his seventies, he followed Zhuge Liang in the Northern Expedition and killed the five generals of the famous Han De family in Xiliang, Zhao Yun. He also drew with Jiang Wei, killing Zhu Zan in one round and Su Yong in one round.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun is the military commander with the most heads-up records, and is also a military commander who has never failed in his life.
5. Zhao Yun's record in the official history
Zhao Yun in the official history first took refuge in Gongsun Zan and met Liu Bei at Gongsun Zan. Because he believed that Gongsun Zan was not benevolent and righteous, he left Gongsun Zan and later met with Liu Bei who had taken refuge in Yuan Shao in Yecheng. In the early days, Zhao Yun was a little unknown under Liu Bei. The first battle recorded should be the battle of Bowangpo. In this battle, Zhao Yun captured his hometown Xiahoulan. After
was the Battle of Changbanpo. The battle of Changbanpo in the official history was fought by Liu Bei, but he was defeated by Cao Cao and fled. Zhao Yun probably did not participate in the war, but only escorted Liu Bei’s wife and son. There is no official history. The plot of Liu Bei throwing his child down, and then Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei to pacify the battle of the four counties of Jingnan, and was appointed by Liu Bei as the prefect of Guiyang.
After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Zhao Yun was responsible for protecting A Dou and also prevented Mrs. Sun’s attempt to take A Dou away. After Liu Bei and Liu Zhang had a war, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Feng led the army into Sichuan to assist Liu Bei in the fight, and Zhao Yun led the army alone. The Jiangyang County, Qianwei County and other places were put down. After taking Chengdu, Zhao Yun was appointed as the general of the Yi Army.
During the Battle of Han River, Zhao Yun led a small number of troops to encounter Cao Cao’s main force, and was also rushed to the camp by the enemy. Zhao Yun defeated Cao Jun in an empty city, and led all remaining troops to chase Cao Jun. Cao Jun was worried and ambushed. Zhao Yun was rushed and killed for a while, and countless dead. Zhao Yun managed to save the camp. Because of this battle, Zhao Yun was named "General Huwei" by Liu Bei. Liu Bei also praised Zhao Yun for being "guts."
During the battle of Yiling, Zhao Yun stayed in Jiangzhou, and after Liu Bei's defeat, he led his army to Yong'an to escort him to prevent the further invasion of Soochow. After Liu Bei died, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang participated in the first Northern Expedition and were arranged to be on Xiegu Road and Deng. As a suspected soldier, Zhi attracted the main force of the Cao Wei Guanzhong army, created conditions for Zhuge Liang to attack Longyou, and successfully blocked the counterattack of Cao Zhen's main force. Soon after, Zhao Yun died. Zhao Yun in the official history of
is not a first-class general. In fact, compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others, his achievements are much worse, and his leadership ability is not as good. At the same time, Zhao Yun is not as good as Ma Chao and Huang Zhong in terms of military ability. Needless to say, Ma Chao has fought with Cao Cao throughout his life, winning and losing. Huang Zhong also beheaded Cao Wei Guanzhong coach Xia Houyuan anyway. Zhao Yun is not even comparable to the later Wei Yan. Wei Yan is the regional military commander promoted by Liu Bei. He guards one side. In history, Zhao Yun's position in the Shuhan regime should be in the third-rate status, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are first-rate status, and Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan are second-rate status.
Of course, Zhao Yun’s advantage in official history is that Liu Bei trusts him and makes him responsible for the safety of his relatives. This is absolute trust. In addition, Zhao Yun’s character is very upright, he is upright, pursues benevolent governance, and is not afraid to offend others. This is Zhao Yun. The good side of character.
