Why was Zhao Yun not promoted until Liu Bei s death in the Three Kingdoms?

Because Zhao Yun no longer has an official position to be promoted. Zhao Yun made great achievements in the Shu Kingdom, and he was already a general among the five tiger generals, and there was no position similar to the general of the protector above the five tiger generals, so until Liu Bei died, Zhao Yun was not promoted.

Because Zhao Yun offended too many people during Liu Bei's period, he could not obtain important official positions until Liu Bei's death, and only when Liu Chan ascended the throne and the new emperor ascended the throne did he have any hope of rising.

Because Zhao Yun is brave, capable of writing and martial arts, and is particularly loyal to Liu Bei, Liu Bei does not want to use him as a general to lead the army, and wants Zhao Yun to protect the safety of him and his family all the time.

Because Zhao Yun dug it from another place, Liu Bei didn't trust it very much.

Because although Zhao Yun has outstanding ability, Zhao Yun's personality is too indecisive.

Because Zhao Yun is easily shaken and indecisive. Zhao Yun was not ruthless in his murderous intentions, so Liu Bei thought that Zhao Yun was unusable.

Because of Zhao Yun's personality. Liu Bei has to think about the overall situation. So on his deathbed, he said that Zhao Yun was not available.

Because Liu Yun's military ability is very strong, but politically he is relatively weak, Liu Bei said this in order to protect him.

Because Zhao Yun was already old at that time. When Liu Bei died, Zhao Yun was approaching the twilight of his life, and his powerlessness and general ability had significantly declined compared to his youth.

Because Liu Bei thought that although Zhao Yun was brave and good at fighting, he did not understand politics and had no political talent, so Liu Bei said before he died that Zhao Yun was not worthy of the task.

Because Liu Bei knew that although Zhao Yun was loyal, he was ostracized in the officialdom, so Zhao Yun could not take on the big responsibility.

The highest. Zhao Yun is one of the five tiger generals, second only to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and is already the top general of Shu.

The loyalty is not high, and one person is replaced by three main attackers. Zhao Yun has no prominent identity background, and it can also be said that he is not a famous family. Personality problems, he is relatively straightforward, and he does not detour Liu Bei's thoughts, of course, if he sneaks around and pats Liu Bei, it will not be Zhao Yun.

Because he was afraid that Zhao Yun would die on the battlefield, Zhao Yun had saved his child, but he was injured, and he entrusted his child to Zhao Yun before he died, because he felt that between Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was more loyal.

It's not that you won't be promoted, but you're being reused. Zhao Yun went from General Yamen, General Bi, General Yijun, to General Zhengnan and Zhonghujun. According to records, before Liu Bei died, in addition to Zhuge and Zhao Yun, he wanted to hand over Liu Chan to Zhao Yun and let Zhao Yun be responsible for protecting his son's safety.

For Liu Bei, the lives of his relatives are the top priority, and being able to hand over this matter to Zhao Yun is his absolute trust.

Because Liu Bei, as the emperor, is actually happy and jealous of his capable subordinates, he has not given Zhao Yun a promotion, and he is so safe to be his own emperor.

Competence issues. Zhao Yun's military talent is not excellent, and it is difficult to hold important positions, so he can only be Liu Bei's bodyguard.

Because Zhao Yun has been Liu Bei's bodyguard since he defected to Liu Bei, he has not experienced the experience of fighting and leading troops, so he was not promoted.

Because Zhao Yun has no military merits, his position is a bodyguard, and most of the people on the battlefield are cameos, so he was not promoted.

I think the main reason is that the two of them have different political views, and Liu Bei has doubts about Zhao Yun's loyalty.

Huang Zhong was the general of the expedition to the west after the Battle of Hanzhong, and it was not long before Liu Bei was called the king of Hanzhong, that is, he was promoted to the post general; After the battle of Hanzhong, Wei Yan was promoted by Liu Bei from the general of Yamen to the general of Zhenyuan, and guarded Hanzhong, and two years later when Liu Bei was called the emperor, he was promoted to the general of Zhenbei, and he was higher than Zhao Yun in terms of general rank. However, after Liu Chan succeeded to the throne in the first year of Jianxing, Zhao Yun was promoted to the general of Zhendong, and was among the four towns with Wei Yan; And according to the analysis of historical data, Zhao Yun should have been given the title of Yongchang Pavilion Marquis by Liu Chan in the first year of Jianxing, not the Marquis of Duting, and Wei Yan, Wu Yi and others were given the Marquis of Duting, which shows that Zhao Yun has been higher than Wei, Wu and others; At that time, his nominal status among the civil and military members of the Shu Han Dynasty was second only to the Xianghou Zhuge Prime Minister, the Xianghou and Zhongdu Protector Li Yan, and the Xianghou and the Zhongjun Liu Yan; Liu Yan did not hold the real power of the military and government, and Li Yan guarded Yong'an and Jiangzhou successively in the early stage of Jianxing; If Comrade Zhao Yun had served as an important post in the Central Protector Army for a long time in the name of General Zhendong at that time, commanding the forbidden army and being responsible for the selection of middle and lower-level officers, it can be said that he was second only to Zhuge Liang in terms of actual status, actual power and influence!

may be because Liu Bei didn't trust Zhao Yun before, so before Liu Bei's death, Zhao Yun was not promoted.

Because Liu Bei wants to protect him better. Because Zhao Yun had a life-saving grace for him, he wanted to keep Zhao Yun by his side.

Because Liu Bei didn't reuse him. Liu Bei felt that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were his sworn brothers, so he handed over the responsibility to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei instead of reusing Zhao Yun.
