During the Three Kingdoms period, why was Zhao Yun, as an outstanding general, never reused by Liu Bei?
Zhao Yun was a general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, and he once made great contributions to Liu Bei in Cao Cao's million-strong army of seven in and out of Changbanpo. It stands to reason that such a meritorious man should be reused by Liu Bei, but in fact, Liu Bei did not pay enough attention to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's status in the Shu Han regime has always been inferior to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and even in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he was not given enough scenes. Some people believe that the reason why Liu Bei does not reuse Zhao Yun is because Zhao Yun is a person who is loyal to the country, not a person who is loyal to the individual. Zhao Yun once made great contributions to Liu Bei in Cao Cao's million-strong army of seven in and out of Changbanpo, but his purpose was not for Liu Bei's personal interests, but for the interests of the entire Shu Han state. In addition, Zhao Yun's personality also affected his status in Liu Bei's heart. Zhao Yun is a very rigorous person, he does not like to be flamboyant and pompous, which is contrary to Liu Bei's character traits. Therefore, Liu Bei may have thought that Zhao Yun was not suitable to serve as a general.
Although Zhao Yun was not ultimately reused by Liu Bei, his loyalty, bravery, and wisdom are forever etched in Chinese history. What do you think of the historical mystery of why Liu Bei didn't reuse Zhao Yun?
