Why did Liu Bei refuse to reuse Zhao Yun until he died? What kind of person is Zhao Yun?

Zhao Yun is brave and strategic, calm and serious, and is a fierce general with both civil and military skills. Liu Bei does not reuse Zhao Yun because Zhao Yun is really the best candidate for the position of "bodyguard". At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, all kinds of fierce generals emerged in an endless stream, among which the most popular must be one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Shu Han Dynasty, known as Changshan Zhao Zilong, known as the "Victorious General".

Zhao Yun has been a horse all his life, never defeated, and is also famous in the world. Even Cao Cao in the Battle of Hanshui had to sigh that "the heroes of Yang Changsaka are invincible" all his life. But this fierce general, under Liu Bei's men, seems to have never been reused.

When Liu Bei was alive, he rarely let Zhao Yun take charge alone and lead the troops to fight. Is it because of Zhao Yun's talent? The answer is no. In the Battle of Hanshui, Zhao Yun laid out an "empty camp plan" with extremely inferior troops, which made Cao Cao, who had never been unfavorable, suffer a big loss.

Then why did Liu Bei refuse to let Zhao Yun really serve as a "general"? Throughout Zhao Yun's life, before Liu Bei's death, he only achieved the official title of "Zhonghu Army", that is, the leader of the forbidden army. The reasons behind it are thought-provoking.

This starts with Zhao Yun's own character: among the five tiger generals, Guan Yu is arrogant and domineering, and regards the heroes of the world as nothing; Zhang Fei was greedy for a cup of good drink, and made mistakes several times because of alcohol. Ma Chao is both wise and brave, but his personal character is questionable, and he is a "prince of generations", and he cannot be trusted by Liu Bei; And Huang Zhong is already dying, and he may "die" one day.

Only Zhao Yun is extremely calm, and he can be civil and martial, and his loyalty to Liu Bei is also well-known. Personal force? Zhao Zilong has been destined for decades, and in the battle of Changbanpo, he "whipped Xu Huang, drilled Xu Chu, spewed Zhang Liao, and scared Cao Hong away", which was invincible in the world.

Therefore, he is really the best candidate for the position of "bodyguard". Liu Bei didn't appoint him as a leading general, but also wanted Zhao Yun to protect the safety of him and his family all the time. Later, when Liu Bei was "White Emperor Entrusting Gu", he also entrusted Liu Chan's safety to Zhao Yun's hands.

Because Liu Bang wanted Zhao Yun to protect himself, he didn't give him the opportunity to make contributions; The reason is that Zhao Yun is very loyal and strong in martial arts.

It's not that he doesn't reuse Zhao Yun, Liu Bei knows that Zhao Yun is too upright, to put it bluntly, his emotional intelligence is too low to know how to be an official, and he doesn't know how to be an official, and he doesn't know how to support his status, in fact, Zhao Yun's task is to protect Liu Bei.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhao Yun was portrayed as heroic, but in real history, Zhao Yun is just a miscellaneous general, not as powerful as in Romance, and Liu Bei naturally will not be important to him.

It's true, because he wants to protect Zhao Yun in this way, because the politics at that time were particularly chaotic, and the slightest carelessness might threaten the existence of individuals, so he did so.

It's definitely true. Liu Bei had some mustard for Zhao Yun in his heart. It is absolutely impossible to rest assured and leave some of your own things to Zhao Yun. Although it looks very good on the surface, Zhao Yun will still be suspicious. After all, Zhao Yun didn't chase Liu Bei at the beginning.

Regarding the identity record of Zhao Yun, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There are only a few sentences in the Biography of Zhao Yun, which is described in the book like this: "Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, Changshan Zhendingren", and there is no more record of his identity after that.

It can be seen from this point that Zhao Yun was not born in a famous family, so Zhao Yun's background is actually a little humble. Although Zhao Yun is a fierce general, in the end he is just a Yamen general, to put it bluntly, he is a miscellaneous general. Zhao Yun has not been able to be reused in his life, in fact, the reason why Liu Bei does not reuse Zhao Yun is also because of his relatively humble identity, if he is reused, he is afraid that it will damage the royal face, and he is even more afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.

Zhao Yun did not follow Liu Bei at first, but followed Gongsun Zhan, but later took refuge in Liu Bei. Compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others, Zhao Yun must have joined Liu Bei's camp later. Therefore, Liu Bei also has to take into account the issue of qualifications when employing people, so Zhao Yun is particularly capable, but because his qualifications are still shallow, it is impossible to give him a title general.

Although Zhao Yun's ability to lead troops is relatively strong, and his martial arts are relatively high, Zhao Yun's emotional intelligence is really a little low. For example, during the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang wanted to withdraw the army to Hanzhong because Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, in fact, in this battle, Zhao Yun not only did not make a mistake, but also had merit, because when retreating, only the army under Zhao Yun was in good order and there was no loss. But in the end, Zhao Yun was demoted to the general of Zheng Jun, if Zhao Yun's EQ is slightly higher, then he will definitely fight with Zhuge Liang, maybe it will not appreciate, but at least it will not be degraded, it can be seen that Zhao Yun's EQ is indeed more worrying.

And Liu Bei is a person with high emotional intelligence, in this case, he will not reuse Zhao Yun with low emotional intelligence. <>

Because Zhao Yun's own background is not very good. In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, there are very few records of Zhao Yun's identity, and Zhao Yun is very powerful.

Liu Bei proposed at this time that Zhuge Liang should not reuse Zhao Yun, which seemed to be a lack of importance to Zhao Yun, but in fact, he wanted Liu Chan to succeed to the throne and later promote Zhao Yun. And Zhao Yun was not promoted before, but Liu Chan promoted and reused him at this time, so that Zhao Yun could also faithfully follow and help Liu Chan.

Because Liu Bei saw that Zhao Yun didn't pay much attention to his son, he naturally didn't pay attention to Liu Chan, he felt that Zhao Yun was a ruthless person.

Because Liu Bei felt that Zhao Yun was a very ruthless person, and he had a lot of concerns about doing things. I don't know how to use it flexibly.

Mainly because Zhao Yun's background is very ordinary, and his personality is not very suitable for officialdom.

Zhao Yun has never played the main role in Liu Bei's lineup, many times he appears as a guard general, simply put, he is the captain of the commando, since Zhao Yun joined Liu Bei's lineup, Zhao Yun has always been Liu Bei's bodyguard.

At that time, before Liu Bei entered Sichuan, there was a division of power, at that time he chose Guan Yu, who had friction with Sun Quan, to guard Jingzhou, not Zhang Fei, let alone Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei was naturally not suitable for a marshal in character, Guan Yu also had his own problems at that time, and there was friction with Sun Quan, at this time Zhao Yun also failed to ascend the position, it can be seen that Liu Bei is not optimistic about Zhao Yun as a general stationed in the frontier.

The second turning point was when he was in Sichuan, Guan Yu was gone, but the position of the chief general in the army was still not Zhao Yun's turn, and Zhao Yun was still a stormtrooper.

There are two main reasons for this:

First, the credit is not obvious.

Compared with the other tiger generals under Liu Bei's account, Zhao Yun's credit is actually not high.

Let's talk about Guan Yu first, he is the most important member of the Shu Group, every time Liu Bei divides his troops, Guan Yu always has to lead a group of people alone, and later he guards Jingzhou, and is worthy of the name of being named a former general. Then there is Zhang Fei, as the general of the Shu Group second to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei often fights alone, is invincible in Yizhou, and then defeats the famous general Zhang He, and the credit is also very great, so he was named the right general. Ma Chao's words did not play a very big role in Liu Bei's group, so they deterred Liu Zhang, and they were not allowed to be reused by Liu Bei.

However, before Ma Chao joined Liu Bei's group, he was already a powerful Xiliang, famous all over the world, and he was born as a prince for generations, so it is reasonable to be named General Zuo. The other is Huang Zhong, although he has not joined Liu Bei's group for a long time, but he has made great contributions in the Hanzhong War, and he cannot but be named a general. On the other hand, Zhao Yun, although he has followed Liu Bei for many years, has always been in battle, that is, he fights with Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang's side, and rarely has the opportunity to fight alone, let alone take charge alone.

Although he had a good relationship with Liu Bei, his merits were not as good as the other four, so he had to be named General Yijun.

Second, the capacity is insufficient.

Many people may not agree with this statement, after all, Zhao Yun's name is so loud. However, Liu Bei is known as a confidant, and in the process of Zhao Yun following Liu Bei for a long time, if Zhao Yun really has the ability to deal with Yu, Liu Bei will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. For example, Wei Yan was the Taishou of Hanzhong.

Although Wei Yan has not followed for a long time and his reputation is not obvious, Liu Bei still did not choose Zhang Fei, but chose Wei Yan, Liu Bei's knowledge of people is beyond doubt. Therefore, Zhao Yun's comprehensive and comprehensive combat capability is definitely insufficient, otherwise it is impossible for Liu Bei not to be important to Zhao Yun, and Liu Bei is also very short of people.

Before he died, Liu Bei said that Zhao Yun was not reusable, not because he couldn't trust Zhao Yun, but because he believed in Zhao Yun too much, and wanted Zhao Yun to be by his side to protect his family's safety.

Because Zhao Yun's martial arts are very high, and ordinary people can't see Zhao Yun's depth, Liu Bei will say this.

Because Zhao Yun is just a security guard by his side. And his martial arts are high. There are also eloquent strategies. Liu Bei has never reused him.

Liu Bei was selfish not to reuse Zhao Yun, he was afraid that Zhao Yun would leave him after being reused, so he did it.

Before dying, he told Liu Chan that although Zhao Yun was strong in martial arts, his personality was very tough, and if he was reused, he would offend many people, so he would not reuse him.

People are about to die, and their words are also good, Liu Bei is close to death, so he is willing to say everything, and he doesn't want to hold it in his heart.
