At the time of the competition in Hebei, Gongsun Zhan recruited righteous soldiers, Zilong chose to defect, and with his outstanding heroic appearance, he was incorporated into his command and became the leader of an entourage army.
Zilong, who was only twenty-four years old at the time, had already begun to emerge, showing his wisdom and courage.
In the winter of 194, Yuan Shu, a member of the Jiangdong clan, took the opportunity to expand his power. Gongsun Chan sent Zilong to aid Tao Qian. In the process, Zilong and Liu Bei had an unexpected encounter.
At that time, Liu Bei was at war with Yuan Shu's army and was in trouble. Gongsun Zhan bullied the weak and turned a blind eye to Liu Bei's predicament. Zilong watched Liu Bei's soldiers bravely fight against the enemy, but they couldn't get help, and he wanted to help very much.
However, he is alone, and the strength of one person is far from enough. At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly launched a surprise attack and successfully attacked Yuan Shu's camp, briefly gaining the upper hand.
He saw Zilong's bravery and good fighting, which won the hearts of the people, and the two hit it off at first sight, and decided to drive the chariot together to face life and death. From then on, Zilong did his best and successfully defeated Yuan Shu's army.
Liu Bei was very happy and said that he would always support Zilong. And Zilong also established an unshakable prestige in this battle.

In the torment of hunger and cold, Zhao Yun whispered to himself, as if awakening his memory. He recalled his innocence when he was a child, Zhao Yun, who had not yet experienced the world, and had not yet felt the joys and sorrows of parting.
Finally, in the ruins, Zhao Yun found Liu Bei's youngest son, Liu Chan. Mrs. Liu Bei wisely chose to sacrifice herself and entrusted Liu Chan to Zhao Yun. At this time, the pursuers had arrived, and the situation was critical.
Zhao Yun felt pain in his heart, but he had no time to care about it. He hugged Liu Chan in his arms tightly and fought his way out of the encirclement. Although he was seriously wounded, he remained silent. For the sake of the innocent Liu Chan, he risked a deadly pursuit desperately.

He never had any complaints, only to repay Liu Bei for his kindness. It can be seen that he is extremely loyal to his lord. In 222, Liu Bei died. On his deathbed, he instructed Zilong to assist his son.
However, Zilong's longing for the lord made him unable to let go of the idea of the Northern Expedition, and he hoped to be able to snow the shame of the lord.
In 227 BC, Shu Han began the Northern Expedition, and Zhao Yun, who was already old, resolutely asked to go north in order to avenge the Lord's revenge. At the beginning, Zhao Yun still showed strong combat effectiveness and took the lead in battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the Shu army.
However, as he ran day after day, without stopping, his hair was already completely white. Although he is still brave, it cannot hide his demeanor in his last years. In the end, Zhao Yun died heroically in the Battle of Wuzhangyuan, avenging the Lord with an arrow.
