Hello everyone, I am Long Ao, and I am very happy to go deep into the ancient history and review literary works with you. Today, we focus on the history of the Three Kingdoms period. In the twenty-second year, we will unveil the twists and turns of this war.
This time, we focus on the embarrassing history - the chase between two famous Wei generals against Zhao Yun, one was burned, and the other was scared away. As one of the five tiger generals of Shu Kingdom, Zhao Yun is a brave and famous general in the history of our country, and he is even portrayed as an almost perfect military general in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". However, even this "winning general" Zhao Yun has experienced the dilemma of being chased in the original book. Carefully analyzing the situation at that time, we found that Zhao Yun was chased for sufficient reasons and did not affect his perfect image of a "victorious general".
The story takes place after Liu Bei's defeat and takes refuge in Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou. Liu Biao treats Liu Bei very well, and the two are like brothers. Liu Biao gave Xinye County to Liu Bei's soldiers and became the "North Gate" of Jingzhou. However, Cao Cao went south, and Liu Bei had to seek to change the law in order to defend Xinye. At this critical moment, Zhuge Liang came into being to assist Liu Bei in recruiting new soldiers, training soldiers, and guarding against Cao's southward movement. Xiahoudun was ordered by Cao Cao to lead a large army south to attack Xinye, and Zhuge Liang decided to use fire to defeat Cao's soldiers. This difficult and glorious task was given to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's task is to seduce Xiahoudun with fiction and reality. Zhao Yun performed quite realistically, luring Xiahoudun by pretending to be defeated every ten rounds, and then fighting Xiahoudun again every ten miles, repeating constantly. Xiahoudun was straightforward, and he really thought that Zhao Yun could not match him, so he plunged headlong into the whirlpool of pursuit. Zhao Yun was even more superb in acting, and he was deliberately defeated at the beginning of the battle, but Xiahoudun actively chased after him. Zhao Yun fought and ran, leading Xiahoudun to the depths of Bowangpo. In this densely wooded place, Zhuge Liang ordered a fire, and Cao Bing was burned and fled in all directions. Xiahoudun blindly chased Zhao Yun before, but as a result, he fell into a sea of fire, and his eyebrows were scorched. And Zhang He chased after Zhao Yun, and was finally scared to slip away.
After Liu Biao's death, Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops went south, and Liu Bei could only flee to Jiangling with more than 100,000 people. In the process of fleeing, Cao Cao sent Xu Chu to lead 3,000 iron cavalry to pursue Liu Bei. Liu Bei could only walk more than ten miles a day, while Xu Chu's iron cavalry traveled hundreds of miles a day, and once chased to Dangyang, scattering Liu Bei's army and generals. Zhao Yun was responsible for protecting Liu Bei's family, and in order to find his wife and young master, he single-handedly rushed into Cao's army. Surrounded by Cao Bing, Zhao Yun went through several twists and turns, and finally succeeded in rescuing Liu Chan, and his reputation has spread since then.
During the rescue process, Zhao Yun once met the famous general Zhang He. At that time, Zhao Yun's goal was to rescue the young master, so he didn't dare to delay, so he could only barely resist for dozens of rounds and continue to break through. Zhang He was cunning and abnormal, and he kept chasing Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun galloped hard, but strayed into the dirt pit. Zhang He was triumphant and laughed, thinking that he had caught Zhao Yun's opportunity. Unexpectedly, at the moment when Zhang He laughed loudly, Zhao Yun's war horse suddenly jumped, jumped out of the pit, and continued to move forward. Zhang He was a little dumbfounded when he saw this, he never expected such a scene to happen. In that era full of superstition, Zhang He even thought that the gods were protecting Zhao Yun, so he turned around and fled in fright.
This history of the war is full of waves, and it also highlights Zhao Yun's wisdom and determination at critical moments. History is like poetry, and the chapters of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are also more colorful because of such legends.
