In the magnificent Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, two famous generals under Liu Bei, are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with their earth-shattering military exploits and heroic and fearless images. However, in the eyes of Cao Wei's generals, their status was very different. Why is that?Let's take a look at it from a historical perspective.
First of all, the personality differences between Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are an important factor. Guan Yu is known for his fierceness, arrogance, and righteous character, which gave him high prestige in Liu Beijun, but also made him establish many enemies in the eyes of his enemies. In contrast, Zhao Yun is known for his gentle, modest, and reborn disposition, which makes him a difficult opponent to deal with in the eyes of his enemies.
Secondly, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's tactics are also very different. Guan Yu likes to fight head-on, although the power is huge, but there are also risks. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, is good at flexible tactics and outwitting to win. This tactic made Zhao Yun more elusive on the battlefield and brought a greater threat to the enemy.
Moreover, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's records are also different. Although Guan Yu had great achievements, he also had failures, such as being defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Xingyang. Although Zhao Yun did not have many achievements, he rarely failed, such as rescuing Adou in the Battle of Changbanpo, showing his bravery and wisdom.
The combination of these factors formed the difference in the status of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun in the eyes of Cao Wei's generals. Zhao Yun's gentleness, flexibility, and characteristics of fewer defeats and more victories made him even more fearful in the eyes of Cao Wei's generals. And Guan Yu's toughness, frontal hard fighting, and the characteristics of many defeats and few victories make him easy to see through in the eyes of the enemy and less fearful.
Through the analysis of these two heroes of the Three Kingdoms period, we can not only understand their personalities and tactics more deeply, but also look at their position in history more objectively. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, they are both heroes worthy of respect and learning, and their stories not only show their bravery and wisdom, but also reflect the strengths and weaknesses of their characters and tactics. Through these stories, we can understand and respect these two legendary figures in history more deeply.
