Not to mention whether the topic was crowned with glory, but as far as Zhao Yun's position after Liu Bei's death is concerned, it serves to show that Liu Bei did not let future generations greatly admire Zhao Yun. Combined with Zhao Yun's life, many friends think that Liu Bei does not reuse Zhao Yun. So why did Liu Bei treat Zhao Yun like this? This has to talk about Zhao Yun and the imperial power hidden behind him.
Zhao Yunqi
The image of Zhao Yun in romance novels is deeply rooted in people's hearts. General Wu Hu? 、? General Chang Sheng? , loved by everyone, but Zhao Yun described in romance novels is quite different from the real Zhao Yun in history. Here we briefly talk about the real Zhao Yun in history.
Zhao was a general under Gongsun Zan, a warlord at the end of Han Dynasty. In his early years, Liu Bei attached himself to Gongsun Zan and got to know Zhao Yun. In 200 AD, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and defected to Yuan Shao. In the same year, Zhao Yun abandoned Gongsun Zan and voted for Liu Bei. What was their relationship then? History:? Sleeping in the same bed shows that their friendship is extraordinary.
In 202 AD, Liu Bei went south to Liu Biao and gradually worked hard for his career, while Zhao Yun accompanied him and remained faithful from beginning to end. In 208 AD, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao. When Liu Beinan fled to Gangneung, Cao Cao sent troops to catch up with Osaka in Dangyang. In desperation, Liu Bei left his wife and children and only led dozens of riders to flee to the south. Fortunately, despite his own safety, Zhao Yun joined Cao Jun's team and saved Liu Bei's youngest son, Liu Chan. Zhao Yun in romance? Seven in and seven out. Savior? The prototype of a thing comes from this. After this war, Zhao Yun made contributions to the yamen general.
In the process of Liu Bei's establishment of the emperor, Zhao Yun participated in the Battle of Bowangpo, the Battle of Changbanpo, the War of Pacification in the South of the Yangtze River, and even commanded the Battle of Sichuan and the Battle of Hanshui alone, making great achievements. The credit for saving Master Liu Chan twice is unmatched by other warriors. When it comes to loyalty, I'm afraid it's not as good as Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun is not affected? Reuse? reason
Is Zhao Yun really not reused? Actually, it's not. I'll explain this later. Let's look at Zhao Yun first. Reuse? There are two main reasons.
One is caused by Zhao Yun's personal character. We know that Zhao Yun is a very loyal person and a military commander, and human beings often have a * * * nature, that is? Straight man? . In order to show loyalty and speak out, it is quite difficult for this character to get along well in officialdom. According to historical records, after Liu Bei took Chengdu, in order to win over his officials and local generals, he prepared to distribute the houses and land inside and outside Chengdu, while Zhao Yun quoted the story of Huo Qubing and bluntly advised Liu Bei to return the land and houses to the people. Undoubtedly, this move will undoubtedly be hated by other generals. When Liu Bei decided to be Yizhou, the first thing he did was naturally to stabilize people at home and abroad. Although Zhao Yun is right, it is really inappropriate. Zhao Yun doesn't know the way of officialdom, and Liu Bei naturally finds it difficult to give him a higher position.
Secondly, I have to talk about Liu Bei's imperial power. Liu Bei and Zhao Yun have been in contact for nearly 30 years. For zhaoyun, nature is very clear. Is it possible that he won't reuse Zhao Yun as a loyal minister? First of all, he didn't give Zhao Yun a high position, which is actually a kind of protection for Zhao Yun, right? Trees attract the wind? Really? People like Zhao Yun who don't know the way of officialdom will only fall worse if they climb higher and higher. Therefore, Liu Bei would rather give Zhao Yun some seemingly ordinary positions. Secondly, at that time, the higher the position, the higher the rights you have. After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor (Guan Yu died), the highest position of a military commander was Ma Chao, an ancient general. However, according to historical records, Ma Chao did not do well in this position and died of depression a few years later. Why? One is that Ma Chao's family feud is hard to report, and the other is that Ma Chao, an ancient general in title of generals in ancient times, does not have much real power to mobilize the army, which is very humbled for a war general. Ma Chao is a general, but he is still very powerful. Unfortunately, he didn't win the trust of Liu Bei, who was afraid of him, so he had to be sealed in a high position, weakening his real power in disguise.
In fact, Zhao Yun seems to have a low official position, but actually holds real power. When Liu Bei attacked Wu before, he left Zhao Yun as the commander-in-chief of Jiangzhou and commanded Jiangzhou's soldiers, which fully proved that Liu Bei attached great importance to Zhao Yun. After Liu Bei's death, Zhao worshipped the China Guards and moved to the town east. Don't look at this humble China guard. This position is responsible for commanding the imperial army. To know that the imperial army directly protects the safety of the emperor, there is no loyal person who can't do this position.
Finally, a bold guess is that it may be Liu Bei's intention to promote Zhao Yun after Liu Bei's death, which made Zhao Yun deeply indebted to Liu Chan. Liu Bei in Bai Di entrusted an orphan to Zhuge Liang, and then arranged a military commander, Zhao Yun, from the side, so that they could restrict each other, which was well-intentioned for maintaining the foundation of Shu.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei's employment level was no less than that of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and even surpassed that of Cao Cao and Sun Quan in some aspects. For example, what did Cao Cao advocate? Meritocracy, regardless of birth? But if I ask Cao Cao who was promoted from humble origins, you will find no.
Cao Cao's five advisers were all from aristocratic families: Yu Xun and Xun You from the Xun family in Yingchuan, Cheng Yu from Yanzhou cremation, Guo Jia from Yingchuan cremation and Jia Xu from Liangzhou cremation. It is either Cao Shi or Xiahou's that Cao Cao holds the military power.
Sun Quan's Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Xun all came from a noble family. Only Liu Bei acted as a diaosi under the banner of royalty.
Among the three regimes, only the Shu-Han regime came from the grass roots, as well as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan. Were born at the bottom of society. One of the important reasons why Liu Bei was able to maintain such grass-roots political power was the employment of people.
The highest state of employing people is to put the right person in the right position. Guan Yu is brave and good at fighting, not only superior in force, but also superior in strategy, so Guan Yu is the commander-in-chief guarding Jingzhou. Zhang Fei is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, General Xiong Hu. He is brave and resourceful, so Zhang Fei is not a general guarding one side.
Wei Yan's humble origins are Liu Bei's trilogy, which is equivalent to private property. However, Liu Bei discovered Wei Yan's talent and promoted Wei Yan to the position of Hanzhong satrap and Zhenyuan general, which is equivalent to Guan Yu's position. If we say that meritocracy is the best thing to do, I am afraid that Liu Bei's strength is far greater than that of Cao Cao, and Liu Beicai really didn't look at his background, only at his talent.
Zhuge Liang is resourceful, good at governing the country, good at internal affairs and skillful in writing, so Liu Bei positioned Zhuge Liang in his own Xiao He. Therefore, Liu Bei didn't take Zhuge Liang to fight, so Zhuge Liang kept the rear and had enough soldiers and food. Just as Liu Bang positioned Xiao He, Liu Bei positioned Zhuge Liang as the prime minister, and Zhuge Liang did play the role of prime minister. This is Liu Bei's choice of people, putting the right people in the right position.
For another example, it is said that he is good at intrigue, but he always reports it. Therefore, Liu Bei just took advantage of Fazheng's conspiracy and took Fazheng with him as the chief of staff, instead of letting Fazheng participate in internal affairs. And Xu Jing, who is a big celebrity, but has no specific talent. Therefore, Liu Bei worshipped him and gave him a high position with no actual power.
Everyone in the Shu-Han regime was put in a suitable position by Liu Bei because of his own advantages and disadvantages. This is Liu Bei's employment, and the highest level of employment is to put the right person in the right position.
How did Liu Bei use Zhao Yun?
In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun was elected as the leader of the army by the people of this county. He followed Gongsun Zan first. Because Gongsun Zan was too cruel, Zhao Yun, who didn't seek benevolent government, also expected it, so soon after, Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan with his brother's death.
Zhaoyun met Liu Bei who also took refuge in Gongsun Zan in Gongsun Zan. When he came out again after mourning for his brother for several years, he began to follow the kind and upright Liu Bei. Until Zhao Yun died, he followed Liu Bei and never left. No matter whether Liu Bei is wandering or fleeing, Zhao Yun, like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, always follows Liu Bei. This is Zhao Yun's loyalty and Liu Bei's personal charm.
Zhao Yun's military strength in the official history is not outstanding, but his integrity and lifelong pursuit of benevolent government are unparalleled among the three countries.
There are several things that can show Zhao Yun's integrity and integrity. The first thing is that Zhao Fan, the magistrate of Guiyang, refused to dedicate his widowed sister-in-law Fan Shi to Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun didn't want to become relatives with speculators like Zhao Fan.
The second thing is, when Zhao Yun seized Chengdu in Liu Bei and prepared to distribute the land and property of the people to his soldiers, Zhao Yun took Huo Qubing's for the peace of the people? The Huns are not extinct, why should they be extinct? Advise Liu Bei not to take the assets of the people, appease them and win their hearts. Liu Bei also accepted Zhao Yun's suggestion.
The third thing is that after Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and Zhao Yun was killed by Sun Quan, he advised Liu Bei not to wage war against Sun Quan and put the overall situation first, but this time Liu Bei did not listen to Zhao Yun's advice.
For Zhao Yun, who values the people's hearts and loves the people, he has realized the ideal of pursuing benevolent government all his life. Similarly, if Liu Bei was not so kind, I'm afraid Zhao Yun would not be followed all his life.
Zhao Yun's specialty is integrity, benevolence and absolute loyalty, so Liu Bei regards Zhao Yun as his personal servant. Besides fighting for Liu Bei, Zhao Yun's greatest role in Liu Bei's era was to guard Liu Bei's family as a trusted bodyguard.
In the battle of Changbanpo, Liu Bei just wanted to run for his life. It was Zhao Yun who escorted Liu Bei's wife and her only son Liu Chan to escape Cao Cao's pursuit safely. Although both of Liu Bei's daughters were captured by Cao Chun, it was not easy for Zhao Yun to protect Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Gan, and son safely in the patriarchal society at that time.
After Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhao Yun was also a trusted minister of Liu Bei, and spent most of his time protecting Liu Bei's family. When Liu Bei married Sun Quan's sister, Mrs. Sun Quan, Zhao Yun was the central defender. When Liu Bei led his troops into Yizhou, Zhao Yun was still guarding Liu Bei's home. When Mrs Sun returned to Wu Dong, she tried to take Liu Chan away, but Zhao Yun stopped her and saved Liu Chan again.
